recent
ment of the Grand Army
No specific charges have been made against
Commandant Belcher, but against Superin
tendent Fowler there are many grievances.
The matter the com mitt will especially In
vestigate is the alleged unnecessary destruc- j
tlon of trees around the Soldiers' Home.
Captain J. H. Culver of Milford brought the
subject to the attention of the Nebraska de-
nartment and It was largely unon his com-
plaint that Commander Reese was authorized 1
. . 7 . .
to appoint a special Investigating committee.
Captain Culver resides near the home at
Milford and owns considerable property In
that vicinity, mcst of which Is covered with
large timber. He asserts that Superintend
ent Fowler has caused many large and val
uable trees on the ground surrounding the
home to be cut down or otherwise destroyed,
greatly dcmaglng the property and detract
ing from Its beauty.
ninplc of Fowler's Work,
The home at Milford Is located on a beau
tiful piece of ground running down to the
river, and until lately It was almost covered
with huge tree. These trees have always
been the pride of the community, and be
sides beautifying the grounds have furnished
shade which could not otherwise have been
tenured. One particular case cited by Cap
tain Culver Is where the superintendent
caused a large and stately Cottonwood tree
directly In front of the home to be destroyed.
The tree was one of the oldest and most val
uable on the place, and every morning Just
at daybreak all the birds In the neighborhood
would gather on Its branches to catch the
first rays of sunlight. It was cultivated and
cared for year after year until it became one
of the landmarks of the community, but a
short time ago it was cut off close to the
ground, leaving only a stump to mark the
epot. It Is asserted that Superintendent
Fowler explained his action by saying that
the birds prevented him from sleeping after
daylight by their chirping and singing.
The Milford Investigating committee con
sists of: J. II. Culver. .Milford. chairman;
Alex. Graham, Beatrice; John Jeffcoat,
Omaha; C. F. Stoele. Falrbury; A. S. Pierce,
Hastings; W. M. Glfford. O. E. C. Goodell,
Lincoln.
The committee that will later Investigate
the affairs at the Grand Island home is com
prised of! C. E. Adams, Post No. 63, Su
perior, chairman; George P. Dean, Post No.

Klicnrea on Itallrond Valuation.
The total areessed valuation of Nebraska
railroad property, tourist and palace sleep
ing cars and telegraph property as fixed by
the State Board of Equalization is 2t,689.
, 759.SJ, as against $26,417,891.27 for last year.
The following tables shows how this total
amount was divided for the two last years:
1S99. I? A
Itallroad property... 2.lft.3,t50.10 $26,316,735.93
Telegraph property. 2tO.100.0O 217.464.50
Palace sleeping cars 71.2S1.17 S5.678.01
Tourist sleeping cars 9.SS1.00
The asxeement roll shows that six of the
ninety countlett in the state are without
railroads. These are Banner, Boyd, Keya
Paba, Logan, Loup and, Mcl'herson. Lan
caster heads the list in atwased valuation
of railroad property, the amount being
$1,201,232.40. Gage comes next with a val
uation of $762,658.40. then Lincoln at $730.
554, Douglas at $694,704.40 and Adams at
$674,277.20 In the order named. This rank
Is no Indication of the railroad facilities
enjoyed in the counticn named. That Lin
coln stands ahead ot DouglaB and other
counties is accounted for by the fact that
It Is one of the largest counties In the
state and consequently baa more mileage.
Of the ninety counties twenty-five are
without telegraph service. In assessed val
uation Douglas leads, with Gage oecond and
Lancaster third. In valuation ot tourist
and sleeping cars Lincoln county Is a shade
ahead ot Douglas, but this, difference Is also
accounted for by the extensive mileage In
the former.
Treasurer Meserve today issued a call for
state warrants numbered from 57,211 to
57.770 Inclusive, amounting to $55,000.
The annual Lincoln road raco over tho
Lincoln normal course was postponed today

Stomach WcnUnrs.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, a preparation
for the cure of dyspepsia and the various
forms ot indigestion and stomach trouble,
owes Its great success as a cute for these
troubles to the fact that it Is prepared tor
diseases and weaknesses of the stomach and
digestive organs only and Is not recom
mended or advised for any other disease.
It Is not a cure-all. but for any stomach
trouble It Is undoubtedly the safest, most
sensible remedy that can be advised with the
prospect of a permanent cure. It is pre
pared In tablet form, pleiv&ant to taste,
composed ot vegetable and truit essences,
pure pejln and Golden Seal, every one of
which act effectively In digesting the food
eaten, thereby resting and Invigorating the
weak stomach; rest Is nature's cure for any
disease, but you cannot rest the stomach
unices you put Into It something that will
do Its work or assist In the digestion of food.
That Is exactly what Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets do, one grain ot the digestive prin
ciple contained In them will digest 3,000
grain ot meat, eggs or similar wholesome
foods, they will digest the food whether
the stomach s In working order or nqt,
thereby nourishing the body and resting
the stomach at tbe same time, and rest and
nourishment Is nature's euro for any weak
ness, In persons run down ln flesh and appe
tite these tablets build up the strength and
Increaie flesh, because they dlgeit the flesh
forming food, which the weak stomach can
not do, they Increase the (low of gastric

There Is considerable speculation as to how

the Spanish expedition through the state

United States Department of Agriculture
climate and crop bulletin of the weather bu
reau, Nebraska section, for the week end
ing June 11:
The week ending June 11 was very warm,
the daily mean temperature averaging from
5 degrees above normal In the eastern sec-
tlons to 7 degrees above ln the western. In
the eastern half ot the state the maximum
temperatures were generally above 90 de
grees on Wednesday. Thursday and Satur-
day. although the highest readings were re
corded on Wednesday. In the western half
the highest temperatures were slightly be
low 90 degrees.
Nearly all sections were vlslteif by mod
crate showers on Saturday night, but the
rainfall for the week was very deficient, only
two or three small areas ln the southeastern
portion of the state receiving the normal
amount.
The week, although dry and very warm,
was generally favorable for the growth of
crops and especially for the cultivation of
corn. Corn grew very rapidly and in all
sections was reported to be ln fine condi
tion; tbe greater portion of the crop has
been cultivated for the first time. The gen
eral condition of small grain also continues
excellent, but the dry conditions ln scat
tered localities of the state were not fa
vorable for Its growth and In a few south
western counties some damage has been
done by the dry weather. Alfalfa cutting
has made rapid progress In many southern
counties and the yield Is large; army worms
have done tome slight damage to the crop
in a small area of the southwestern section.
Cherries are ripening In the southern halt
of the state, but tbe crop Is not large.

WASHINGTON. June 12. (Sreclal Tele- I
gram.) If the leaders of the republican I
party know who Is to be nominated at Phil- !
adelpnld for the second place on the presl-1
demial ticket they have kept It mighty close
thus far. If there has been a tacit under-
standing among those charged with the man-
agement of the party In the coming contest
to arouse tnthuslasm bv keoolnc the vice
presidency open to all comers they have
the address of succeiaea. i nus tar only tne vaguest prog
n a paper on cm- rtostlcattons are heard as to McKlnley's
running mate and delegates to the national
republican convention will settle the ques
tion for themselves as to who will occupy
the place of the late Vice President Garret
A. Hobart upon this year's presidential
ticket. For several days the drift of opln-
Ion has been toward Senator Allison of
Iowa for vice presidential honors, but he
'd tonight to The Bee- "fnder no clrcum-
stances can I be thought ot as accepting tb
nomination for vice president. It It should
be tendered me I would rise In the conven
tion and decline the honor, because I believe
I can serve my country and party better on
the floor of the senate than In the vice
presidential chair. No man appreciates tne
the republican party stands pledged."
Dolllvrr Has a .Mniuinrr.
Representative Dolllver of Iowa still lin
gers ln Washington, but as he has turned his
boom over to General Grosvenor he Is let
ting the Buckeye statesman manage his af
fairs for blm and does not seem to be worry
ing himself regarding bl canvass for second
place on the ticket.
Friends of Secretary Long are still claim
ing that he will lead on the first ballot and '
Senator Chandler stated today that he be
lleved tho secretary would be nominated.
He remarked, however, that there was same
very good material In the weit and ne
thought Senator Allison, if he could be In
duced to have his name placed before the
convention, would make an Ideal running
mate for McKinley. He also spoke very
highly of Representative Dolllver.
"I have always been ot opinion," said j
Senator Chandler, "that a vetsran of the
Spanish-American war should be nominated
for second place on the ticket. I have there
fore always been strongly Inclined toward
Governor Roosevelt, and like many others
think he would be a good candidate for the
place."
Indian Commissioner Jones baa detailed
Special Agent Jenkins to visit Ind an
schools at Pierre and Flandreau to make
Investigation concerning the expenditure of
funds. It appears that the school super
intendents have exceeded the $167 per capita
allowed by congress and although this prac
tice has beeo permitted for years under
certain circumstances, when recently called
to the attention of the auditor for the
Treasury department. It was disapproved.
Superintendents have bad authority to ex
ceed the stated allowance when additional
expenses were caused by contingencies.

Special Agent Jenkins Is authorized to
make a report as tbe basis for the relte.
of superintendents from any responsibility.
A rider was attached to the Indian appro

Senator Fairbanks goes to Ohio tonight to

of the Ohio Wesleyan university and will
not reach Philadelphia until Saturday.
Senator Allison also expects to arrive on
that day. Mr. Lowry, who Is pushing Sn
ator Washburn of his state for the vice
presidency, continued his journey to Phila
delphia today.
Although tbe gossip around the White
House ln connection with the president's
callers centered particularly about tbe vice
! presidential nomination, the senators who
conferred witn .Mr. .MCKiniey were reticent,
concurring onlv In the statement that the
situation had not yet crystallized.
"No one can say with poslttveness who
the nominee for vice president will be,"
said one ot tbe senators after he bad left
the White House. "Things are sbap.ng up
some, but the problem Is a difficult one to
solve. I think the republican leaders, ai a
rule, are ot the opinion that tbe nomination
should go east, so as to secure a geograph-
Ically balanced ticket. Secretary Loag 1
