(From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, July 10. (Special.) A nun;b"r ft democrats have reached Lincoln to , Attend the meeting of tho state committee tonight, among them being A. C. Bhall-n-berger of Alma, and Oeorge Rogers of Omaha. Othera will be, In on later tralna. The closing down of the slot machines In Omaha enabled Rogers to come down on the early afternoon train. He said a ntim tvr from the big city had promised to Coma later. Those who are here seem to te up In the air aa to why they are here, which the knowing one say Indicates the tneetlng will do what Tom Allen wants J Cone. George Rogers said It was likely a Supreme court Judge would be endorsed, i f though ha waa not aure anything In thla ff Jlne could be done and have any effect, be- cause of the primary law, find he was of the opinion the primary law was hern to atay In so far aa attacking It In the courts is concerned. Some of the democrat a are also very much, put out about the attorney general'a opinion holding there can bo no fusion thla fall under the primary law. They believe otherwise, and for a while to day It looked as though Mr. Thompson vould recall his opinion. He discovered to ward the latter part of the law a section rhlch provides a person can be the candi date of moro than one party. This, how aver, la In contradiction to the entire bill ' almost, ao be decided to stand by his opinion. The attorney-general said he would like to hold that there could be fusion. If it were possible, rather than to separate the populists and democrats, but lie could not do ao, even If the last section did raise quite a aerlous question regard lng the matter. The meeting tonight will be held at tho Lincoln hotel, and a fight may develop over a number of questions, but Just what mat- ter will be discussed besides getting around the primary law, cannot be accurately Stated until the meeting begins, as no one eema to know except Tom Allen, i.nd he (Won't tell. Small Increase In Lancaster. Lancaster's total assessment, as shown ty the abstract filed with the state board thla afternoon, showa a total assessment for the county of HB.SSS.Zll, or the mu nificent Increase of 104,54 over the as sessment of last year, not Ihcludmg the In crease In the valuation of railroad prop erty. Personal property was decreased (36.(56. Lancaster's Increase compares well with the Increase In some of the coun ties In the extreme western part of the state, where there, la very little personal property to be assessed. In Justice to As sessor Miller, however. It should be stated that his assessment was cut 20 per cent at one fell swoop by the county board. Thla decrease leaves mules assessed at something over 117 a head, when some of the counties assessed them at 30 a head. Merchandise was assessed at (17,000 less thlr" year than last. 1 Aaaeasor Morris of Buffalo county was n the office of Secretary Bennett when the '. 4tncaater assessment came In and he promptly let It be known that hla county would certainly ask for a decrease If the 10 per cent cut In Lancaster held good. ' Assessor Miller has some of the Irf Otvldual assessments made In Omaha (though the county board Is not through With' Its work thero), and these figures likely will be tho basis for a defense of How to make Brains and keep them IN REPAIR thought and execution of the same is acted upon the same as when alcohol or any other poison is taken, only in different degree. Dull, sluggish, half asleep, unablo to think clearly and promptly anything but "Brainy" is the person so fed. In fact it is not feeding but poison ing, and a Brain so treated cannot be 'successful. A genuine food for the Brain is Grape-Nuts. "Why," someone asks. Analysis of Grape-Nuts will show Phosphate of Potash as found in wheat and barley of which the food is made, This J'bosphate combines with Albumen and water in the human body and builds the soft gray filling of the nerves and brain cells; then.a,?ain the food is easily of digestion because it is cooked atvthe factories iu such a manner as to transform the starch of the wbeat and barley into form of sugar, to be seen under a strong glass on each granule of Grape-Nuts. This sugar was not "put on" or poured over, but exudes during the process of cooking and Is really the starch turned to sugar and ready to be absorbed into the bld. So with Grape-Nuts wo have the food with the right things Nature demands for Brain-building and we also have a food eusy of digestion. Make the trial, it's worth L.

Byrne-Hammer, so Mr. Mil ler reported, aa a ample, la mwmivI at 2.V),nco, while Miller Tain Is assessed l ut, and i of the opinion the (Omaha nrm a property l worth much more than la the Lincoln Ann. Lancoster'e SO per cent cut In the re- turn mad bjr th "ntr aasessor win Hoard of Equalisation but, on the other hand, that 20 per cent n ill In all prob ability be tacked on again by the state board. Thla wan the statement of a mem ber of the board thla morning, who char acterized the action of the Lancaster noird aa "being without authority of law or rei.ann an unheard of proceeding." Continuing, this member said: "The ex cuse given by tho board as reported In the newspapers that Omaha merchants were escaping their Just assessment, 's not only childish, but foolish. If the as sessment of Lancaster county la too high then It la all right for a reduction to be made, but for the board to make a re duction because a year ago the state board refused to rfflse the Omaha assessment at the request of certain parties In Lan-aster Is absolutely lawless. At that meeting a heating waa given the Iancaster protest ants and they failed to make good. Th state board will take up the Lnncnster re duction when it gets around to It and you can predict now that the per cent will be added." Railway Commission Hearings. The hearing In the matter of the com plaint on the part' of cltlsens of Blair against the Northwestern that the sand rate from Fremont to Blair Is higher than Tor the same distance to other points, scheduled to come up before the railroad commission today has been postponed for two weeks, both sides agreeing to the postponement. Next Thursday the com mission will hear the complaint of the city of Lincoln agnlnst the Lincoln Trac tion company to compel It to sell six fares for 26 cents. Both sides are prepared to rpake a big fight on this question, and the matter Is of Importance, because It will effect not only Lincoln but other communi ties where there Is a street car line. The matter of universal transfers will also be taken up at this hearing. It being the ob ject of the city to force the traction com pany to give transfers and accept trans fers from the other company here. In the matter of the hearing on the application of the Western Traffic association for a higher rate on cream, the commission has received a number of letters recently from out in the atate and one from Cheyenne, Wyo., protesting against the raise. This hearing Is set for August 6. Washlnsrton County Una a Candidate. Representative Filer of Washington county was here today to look after the Interest of Blair In the appeal to the rail way commission for a lower rate on sand. Mr IMier saia v. asnington county naa a candidate for Judge of the Omaha district , In the person of E. C. Jackson, who he' said waa very popular In that portion of the district where he was best known. Mr. Jackson Is a republican and filed his nomi nation papers yesterday to get on the primary ballot. Mlinp Over Vouchers. While Secretary of , e Junkin la look ing over the university vouchers to see whether he will endorse the certificates for warrants, Auditor Searle la writing out the warrants. Thla peculiar condition of affairs Is the result of the frequent man dnmus proceedings brought by the univer sity regents against the auditor. In which the former have always won, and the de termination on the part of Secretary of State Junkin to endorse no more cortlflf ates until he knows what the money Is being spent for. What the outcome will be re mains to be aeen. The regenta have re fused to Tiring their vouchers to the state house until Secretary Junkin notified them he would no longer endorse their cer tificates. Mr. Junkin Is a member of the Board of Purchase and Supplies for the uccessful Any man or woman, with little trouble and less ex pense, can make an interesting experiment on Brains. "We all' naturally desire to be considered "brainy" "intellectual." 1 The Brain and nerves are fed or hurt by the food put into the stomach. If that food contains the right elements and digestion and assimilation are perfect, the Brain will act in' the sanest, clearest manner. If Improper, indigestible 'food is taken, eaten with nervous haste and in excessive quantities, the digestive organs cannot convert it entirely into real sustenance and it lies in the stomach too long and decays. "Decay" means that bacteria begins to work and these living organisms produce toxic, or poisonous mat ter which is quickly absorbed with what little food has been digested, and carried into the blood. This poisoned blood goes to the Brain as well as elsewhere, and the Brain with all its connecting nerves, being the most sensitive vhi,le. It's a profound demonstrable truth. "There's a Reason" for atate Institutions, and he Is familiar with prices charged by the varlona firms of the state, and he Is anxious to know whether the regents get as, low prices on the aame goods as the board does for other Institutions. The excuse the regents offered to the secretary for . refusing at first to file the vouchers was that the law did not require them to do so. The State Railway commission this aft ernoon granted the I'nlon Pacific the right to put In the short passenger rate at com petitive points. This means a person can go from Lincoln to Omaha on the I'nlon Pacltlc for $1.10, thus getting a whole lot of rlulng for llttlo money. Dairy Inspectors .Named. E. R. linrnly and James W. Pnwsan, both of Lincoln, were appointed dairy In spectors by Lvputy Food Commissioner Johnson today. Roth are graduates of the stato farm. They .will receive $3 a day each for the time they are actually em ployed. National Guard F.ncamproen t. It Is probable that the auifual encamp ment of the Nebraska National gnrrd will be held In Lincoln during state fair week. Adjutant General Schwarx called on Secre tary Mellor of the state fair board this morning and delighted him by making this suggestion. He stated that be was con sidering the encampment and If It Is lo cated In Lincoln the camp will be at Cap ital Beach or Kpworth park. The range for the sharp shooters will be located back of the penitentiary. The guardsmen will be required to pay t cents per mile ehch way this year and this will ' necessitate extra expenditure which will bo met by cutting short the time of encampment. Tho time has usually been ten days, but a week will have to suffice this year. The date of the encampment was set for August 12 to 21, but this will be changed. Fremont has been suggested as a good plnce to hold the encampment, but General Schwarx wants a more central location. He has almost definitely decided on Lincoln and the state fair week looks attractive to him. He believes It would bring to the fair many enlisted men who would other wise make excuses. "I want to Interest the enlisted men," de clared General Schwarx this morning. "I am going to pay them for drills If my de partment runs behind for the blennlum. I want tho enlisted men to come to, the en campment, nil of them." I, eland Wood Drowned. TABLE ROCK, Neb.,. July 16. (Special.)

Some of the families camped on the lowest lands at the fair grounds had to move out, and today, where the tents were setting, tho water has overflown the ground. Th pro gram and Interest In the Chautauqua was good, but the season was very unfavorable owing to the busy time with the farmers and finally the continued rains and high water.

Kn.-lnr.no For July The month of July Is generally a hot month. Hot waves, followed by cooler Intervals, come and go sometimes In rapid succession. This constant change of temperature Is very trying to the human syetem. People are liable to catch cold, liable to catarrh, Influenxa, diseases of the throat and lungs, and especially catarrhal dis eases of the stomach and bowels. Just a few doses of Ka-tar-no at the proper time Is an excellent preventive of these troubles. Ka-tar-no being the old-time Feruna It Is already famous aa a sure and prompt relief for colds, coughs, Influenxa, sneezing, hoarseness, and stomach derangements of a ca ts rrhnl nature. The liabilities to catarrh because of these conditions are almost Inevitable during the month of July. It Is, there fore, only ordinary caution to keep a bottle of Ka-tar-no at hand. A few doses at the right time are sufficient. FOR SALE BY Schaffnr'1 Dnn) Store, 15th AOftrr unnj more, j.w i nw.irr a A Douqla tits.; mK & Chicago Ms. "tJ1 '. W. Cor. t4th i SOUTH OMAHA, tf 2,'.

WM eea (.uittuui, CIVITT, PCABODV oV CO. PRICE OF HAY GOES DOWN Entire Market Falls as Result of the Season. THREE DOLLARS A TON DECLINE Isrrrsned Sapply of Green bra as Ie atroya Demand for Cured Feed and Thla Bears All Prices. The price of hay of all grades In the Omaha market has fallen with a "dull thud" similar to that you read about In the yellow back books, that Is the thud. Ten days ago choice upland hay sold In Omaha at $12 the ton, midland hay at $11 and bot tom at $10. Now the prices of the throe grades are $: $s.50 and $7 W, respectively. "It Is the annual event of the grain mar ket," said C. E. Butler of the firm of But ler Brothera. "The farmers Invariably hold their hay when there Is a demand for It. They always want a llttlo better price. Then suddenly the season opens up, the grasses In the pastures and corner lota spring up several Inches In a day and no body needs any hay. The result Is there la no dcjtnand, the market Is overstocked, the price slumps, the formers get frightened and ship all at once. Then, of course, the supply far exceeds the demand, there Is a glut of hay on the market and the price falls. Two Dollars for Freight. "Two weeks ago we were offering 19 for i hay In the country, but they wouldn't sell We had to allow $2 a ton for freight t Omaha. Now they are writing In askln: us to give them $S, but we can't offer even that much. A good price for the bee; grade of hay In the country now would be $7. It Is likely to go still lower, for we are now cleaning up the old crop. The new crop of hay Is about to make Its appear ance and when that Is on the market the old Isn't good for much. "No, the highest priced hay Is not realty the best for feeding, "Choice upland' Is fine and looks nice In the bale. It Is wiry and cures nicely. But for nourishment the thicker, more fltery and Juicy hay that grows on the bottom land Is the best. But people don't see It that way and 'Conse quently upland hay commanda the higher price always. "Omaha ships considerable hay to the north. Our Elkhorn valley hay Is unsur passed and every year many carloads go to the Dakotaa and to Minneapolis. "In winter there la a great amount of hay used In Omaha. Nearly 200 tons a day are consumed right here. At the present time, when many vacant lots afford pastur age at no price and when the dairymen all have plenty of -grass for their cows, the consumption Is reduced to only a small fraction of that.
