LINCOLN, Oct. II (Special Telegram.)
A carload of oil sent to Beaver City by
the Standard Oil 'company has been re
jected by the state oil Inspector. The first
eat made by Deputy Inspector William
eeler showed the oil to register 10? de-
when the minimum was 112 degrees.
Chief Deputy Inspector A. D. Allen made
the trtp to Beaver City to test the oil him
self and ho ordered It rejected. It Is very
rarely the oil tested in the state Is not up
to grade. This Is the first bin lot of oil
thrown out by Inspector Alien. It was
shipped direct to Beaver City from the
Ohio refineries.
' To Investigate Accident.
Hailrnad necldents will he Investigated
thoroughly by the State Railroad commis
sion when a velocipede has been purchased
giving the board tho opportunity to make
lying trips so that the scene of trouble
may be reached before railroad men have
visited the scene and official investigations
by county authorities have fixed the re
sponsibility. The commission Is receiving
catalogues from manufacturers of the ma
chines. They are priced from 1136 up and
weigh all the way from 3C0 pounds up.
An effort wUl be made to. compel the
roads to report all accidents to the com
mission. The next legislature will bo
asked to pass a law to this effect. The
commission thinks In this way by arriving
quickly on tho scene the actual condition
of the roadbed may be ascertained and tho
roads may be compelled to keep the right-of-way
In good condition.
D. J. Jacob? Complains.
A complaint filed by D. J. Jacob' of
Aurora with the railroad comrrilssion Indi
cates that the rate of speed In transporting
live stock by the Burlington Is not always
record time. He says he shipped two cars
of cattle from McAlpin. Neb., to South
Omaha, a distance of 206 miles and that
the trip took twenty-nine hours. He says
the delay brought his stock to market for
the Friday Instead of the Thursday market.
How Chairman Wlnnett Voted.

hoard stating he voted against federal con
trol of the roads at the meeting of tho
lallroad commissioners at Washington.

Do Your. Meals Fit?
Do You Feel Suuk and Comfortable
Around Your Ma 1ft t Line After
a Hearty Meal.
Did your last meal taste dellclously good
to you, and did you eat alt you .wanted?
Could yu have patted your rotundity In
glee and felt proud of your appetite and of
your good strong stomach? Do you feel
rosy now because your last meal gave you
no Inconvenience whatever? If not, you
have dyspepsia In some form, and probably
never realized It.
If you have the least trouble In your
'stomach after eating, no matter how lit
tle or how much you eat, there is trouble
brewing and you must correct It at once.
Most all stomach troubles come from poor.
weak, scanty gastric Juice, that precious
li.iuld which ought to turn your food Into
rich, red blood.
If ytu have naiisfa, your gastric Juice Is
weak. If you have sour rising of belching
your food Is fermenting; your gastric Juice
is weak. If you have loss of appetite, your
gastrlo Juice Is weak. If you have r bloaty
feeling of aversion to food, 'our gastric
Juice is weak.
You need something in ; i .adi to
supply the gastric Juice whii 'i '.- Manly,

himself and Judge Dickinson will apply
to the supreme court for a peremptory writ
of mandamus to require the state canvass

interested candidates. Speaglng for him
self Mr. Yelser said the action of the

tickets or neither.
"When filing for this office," he said, ."I
' compelled by law to sign a statement
find swear that I would abide by the re
sult of this primary. I Intend to obey the
law. My Judgment Is that under the law
the candidates who received the most votes
wore nominated regardless of color of
ilr. eyes of politics as decided in Ne
braska reports, volume 35, page 867.
"On the contrary the opinion of the
secretary of state Is that the result of
the primary law was to place Judge
Dickinson and myself on the democratic
icket. Since I have promised the slate to
abide by the result of the primary I am
compelled to appeal to the supreme court
to overrule the secretary of slate.
"I am entitled to go upon both tickets
or neither one and shaM endeavor to re
verse the decision of the board knowing
my position should be sustained and be
lieving it will be."-'
