THE STATE HAUL
MATTERS OF INTEREST TO ALL
CITIZENS.
NEBRASKA COKVCTS ABE IDLE
Contract With the Broom Company
Expires and Machinery of the Same
is Ordered Taken Out.
Convicts Now Idle.
Four hundred convicts In the Ne
braska penitentiary are Idle, a major
ity of the members of the Board of
Public Lands and Buildings having
voted not to permit the Lee Broom
and Duster company to have their
services longer at 50 cents day, the
contract price in effect for several
years.
1 Warden Beemer was instructed to
collect the amount due from the com
pany, between $6,000 and $i,000, and
order the broom company to take out
its machinery.
Members of the board are united
that the price of 50 cents a day, when
the state furnishes buildings, heat
light and power, is too low. They de
mand 75 cents day, which Clinton R.
Lee of the broom company says he
will not pay.
I The contract under which the com
pany has been working has expired.
Under orders the convicts were locked
in tnelr cells. The company employs
273 men on full time and fifteen on
half time, which makes a revenue of
about $150 a day to the state. Some
years ago tje state said the contract
price was too low and refused to re
new a contract, when the broom com
pany moved out and started a factory
in the city. Later the board yielded.
Mr. Lee asserts the company will do
likewise again, while the board thinks
the charge demanded is moderate and
should be paid.
Publication of Amendments.
The submission of the two consti
tutional amendments passed by the
last legislature is going to cost the

are as many as two republican papers
in a county. Tlfe amendments are al
most three times as long as the
amendment submitted at the last elec
tion, when $52.50 was paid each paper
in which It was published. It Is
figured this year the cost per paper
will be about $1C0. In Hamilton

active friends of the other sex re
newed room for boasting.
President Fallieres isn't a self-made
man. He lacks the Initiative, the en
ergy and the ambition for that some
times sorely miscarried process. Presi
dent Fallieres Is the product, so you
are told, of his ambitious and ener-;
getic wife, Mme. le Presldente.
Madame is all that the president of
the French republic is not, and It is
entirely through her desire to be re
venged upon certain sneering relatives
that her distinguished husband is not
to-day the mayor of the sleepy old
wnrlrf tnvn nf Nerao. in Gasconv. Had
It not been for Mme. Falllere's force '
and diplomacy her gifted other half i
would now be leading the sheltered
and stinted life of an ordinary legal
practitioner in his modest country

of head of his nation, entertained by
royalty across the channel, paid $250.

The true facts about Clement Ar

Eugene by those who know the full
ness of his sundry cognomens), have
been greatly exaggerated. You may
be told, if you care to read, that Fal

of poverty through his own efforts,
and more of the usual exaggerated
nonsense attributed to those who may
rise from comparative obscurity to no

the grandson of the b'acksmith In the
myth, while his father was a thrifty
(not to say wealthy) wine grower.
The son had a reasonably complete
education and was a. law student in
the little city of Nerac. He was by
no means dull, but nature had instilled
into his bones a certain lethargic es

Henry of Navarre knew the Gascons
as poor swordsmen; a later genera
tion may find them poor workers.
Aside from this indisposition for
special efforts the young lawyer was
distinguished as a dreamer. "Cracked
brained revolutionist" and "feather
brains" were some of the really fine
epithets to which relatives of Mine.
Fallieres treated the future president
of a great people when they learned
of the prospective alliance. Fallieres
didn't mind much. In common with
dreamers he understood his superiori

Once married to her brililant but
indolent barrister, Mme. Fallieres

and secured for her socially Inferior

had the happy faculty of making
friends and the rare prescience of dis
tinguishing those whose devotion
might prove disastrous. With herself

Even. Slight Catarrhal Derangements
of the Stomach Produce Acid Fer
mentation of the Food.
Ifs Stomach Catarrh
Some people are thin and always re
main thin, from temperamental rea
sons. Probably in such cases nothing
can be done to crange this personal
peculiarity.
But there are a large number of peo
ple who get tnin, or remain thin, who
naturally would be plump and fleshy
but for some digestive derangement.
Thin people lack in adipose tissue.
Adipose tissue is chiefly composed of
fat.
Fat is derived from the oily constit
uents of food.
The fat-making foods are called by
:he physiologist, hydrocarbons. Thin
class of foods are not digested in the
stomach at all. They aro digested in
the duodenum, the division of the ali
mentary canal just below tha stomach.
The digestion of fat is mainly, if not
wholly, the work of the panoreatic
uice. This Juice Is of alkaline reac
tion, and Is rendered inert by the addi
tion of acid. A hyperacidity of tha
digestive fluids of the stomach passing
down into tho duodenum, destroys
tho pancreatic fluid for digestive pur
poses. Therefore, the fats are not di
gested or emulsified, and the system is
deprived of its duo proportion of oily
constituents. Hence, the patient grows
thin.
The beginning of the trouble Is a ca
tarrhal condition of tho stomach which
causes hyperacidity of tho gastric
juices. This hyperacidity is caused by
fermentation of food in tho stomach.
When tho food is taken into the stom
ach, if tho process of digestion docs
not begin immediately, acid fermenta
tion will take place. This creates a
hyperacidity of tho stomach juices
which in their turn prevent the pan
creatic digestion of tho oils, and the
emaciation results.
A doso of Peruna beforo each meal
hastens the stomach digostion. By
hurrying digestion, Peruna prevent
fermentation of tho contents of the
stomach, and the pancreatic juico is thus
preserved in its normal state. It then
cniy remains for the patient to cat a
sufficient amount of fat-forming foods,
and the thinness disappears and plump
ness takes its place.
