(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Ana. .19. (Special.) After a
separation of eleven year Henry Brownlee
of Canon City. Colo., and his daughter,
Elsie Brownlee, aged 17 years, have been
reunited through the Instrumentality of
Secretary Davis of the State Board of
Charities and Correction. The girl was
taken from the Tabitha home of this city,
where she had been for two years, two
months of which time against her will, by
Secretary Davis, who was two months ac
complishing the task, without appealing to
the courts. The girl left for her Colorado
borne Monday night.
Elsie Brownlee was placed In the home,
which" Is a charitable Institution, by her
mother, who had separated from her hus
band some years previous. Two months
ago the attention of Governor Mickey was
called to the girl by a letter sent him from
ber father, asking that she be returned
to him. The letter was turned over to
Mr. Davis for Investigation. Later Mr,
Brownlee wrote the secretary, stating that
he had his wife's consent for the removal
of the girl from the home and Inclosed
with the letter was one from the mayor of
Canon City, stating that Brownlee was In
every way capable and able of taking care
of the girl and that he bore an excellent
reputation. It was evident from the
father's letters that he believed the
Tabitha home was a house of correction and
that It required an order from the gov
ernor to secure the release of any one
from It
Demand was made Upon Superintendent
Helner for possession of the girl and those
making the demand were given t-o undetn
stand, in diplomatic language that It was
none of their business whether the girl
was released or not. Several weeks later
Mr. Da via secured the girl's release.
At first the girl would not talk with
those who were working for her restore
Uon to her father, but as her confidence
In them grew her story gradually came
out. Her father and mother formerly lived
at Beatrice and later removed to Canon
City, where they separated. The girl re
mained with her mother until two years
ago, when she was placed In the Tabitha
home, the mother giving authority to the
superintendent to keep her until she be
came of age.
In the home the girl was employed as a
bread maker and It was due to her pro
ficiency In that art, she told, that Super
intendent Helner did not want to give
her up.
Railroad Magnates la City.
The presence In Lincoln of George B.
Harris, president of the Burlington system,
M. ' M. Klrkman, vice president of the
Northwestern, and Charles G. Dawes, ex
comptroller of the currency, as guests of
the Country club today, gave rise to many
rumors and has created much speculation,
Mr. Dawes and Mr. Harris were formerly
of Lincoln, but Mr. Klrkman Is here for
the first time, Mr. Dawes Is traveling as
the guest of Mr. Harris and the two came
In on a special train. At the Lincoln
hotel the party was met by B. It. Burn'
ham and Frank W. Brown of the Country
club.
The men denied that their visit hare, at
the same time was significant. Mr. Harris
said: "I Just came In . for a few days' visit
at my mother's home. She Is no.w at Bus
sard's Bay and writes me that she la well,
I don't know anything In railroad affairs
that would Interest anyone and my visit
here haa nothing to do with railroad mat
ters." Mr. Klrkman haa been traveling In the
northwest with his family and he denied
that he was here on railroad business. "I
am In Lincoln simply for a pleasure trip,"
he SAld, "for the first time In twelve years.
I did not know that Mr. Harris was here
and therefore our visit here at the aame
time can have no significance."
. Inasmuch as a story was published here
some time ago that the railroads had an
eye on the Lincoln hotel to make that a
union station. It was the general belief
that these men were Sere to look over
the ground and do a little Investigating.

COIXD COOK
But Couldn't Ket.
man who haa seen many years' sailing
as cook on the "Inland Seas," as the Oreat
Lakes are called, haa learned a thing or
two about food as the following story
shows:
"I am a cook on the Great Iakej and
have for five years suffered more than pen
or tongue could tell from stomach trouble
and have taken medicines enough to float
the boat I sail In, and yet without any
relief from pain.
"There were long stretches of time when
I oould not even keep milk or wine or the
lightest kind of food on my atomaoh and I
had fallen away from li6 to lui pounds in
loss than two years, I saw so much In
the newspapers about your food, Grape-
Nuts, that one day I decided to try It, al
though without the least hope of sucoosa.
"So I bougnt a package In Cleveland
and made the trial and my stomach was
so cranky I was afraid to try more than
one teaspoonful with a llttlo milk. To my
surprise I kept It on my stomach without
any bad feelings and at the end of an hour
I knew it had digested and gone to the
right spot, so I tried two teaspoonfuli
more with the same result. And now for
the past seven months I have lived almost
entirely on Grape-Nuts where before I
simply lived on medicines which consisted
principally of opiate that relieved me for
a time, but shattered tnj nerves and weak
ened my stomach.
"Soon after I began Grape-Nuts I gave
up all medicines, for I saw that Grape
Nuts was remaking me. Now my nervew
are back In their proper shape and my
stomach Is so strong 1 can eat almost any
rind oi food without any suffering wbst
ever. "It may Interest yon to know that your
food Is vary one in cases of seasickness, for
In this line It haa ne equal In many cases
of vary rough water 1 have given Grape
Kuta to people on my boat who were sea
sick, when the sight of even coffee would
be unbearable, but a few teispoonfula of
Qrape-NuU prepared with enly water was
taken and more aaked fur and given With
perfeiot results.
"Tou never saw two healthier or happier
youngsters than my two grandchildren,
who eat nothing else for breakfast or sup
per but Grape-Nuts. There are two other
men on my boat besides myself,, who eat
nothing else but Grape-Nuts for breikfast.
Had U not been for this perfect food J
would now be dependent on rryr relatives
for snrpert. The fellows on the boat make
fun ef me when they see me coming along
with my little yellow package, but I guess
under the circumstances I aaa afferd to
- -h wjta them."
tsry Furnna haa opened his Llnroln office
at the Llndell hotel, where it will remain
until the morning of the 4th, after which
It will be on the fair grounds. Early In
the week the members of the board will be
gnthered In Lincoln, the superintendents of
departments will be early on the ground
and the preliminary work will begin prac
tically with the present week. Superin
tendent of Concessions Slmpklns, who also
has charge of Merchants' Hall, has his
office already opened on the fair grounds.
Master of Transportation O. M. Druse will
have his office on the grounds opened
within the next two or three days, and
the board of managers will have a repre
sentative at the secretary's office from this
time on, looking after Its part of the work.
Frldny and Saturday of this week will be
devoted to assembling the great volume of
exhibits In all departments, and the gates
will be open for visitors on Monday morn
ing the 7th. when for five days the fair
will be on In full force.
Monday will be Lincoln day and Labor
day at the fair grounds. Public offices
and business houses In Lincoln will close
the greater part of the day, giving every
one an opportunity to visit the fair. The
labor organizations will attend the fair In
large numbers during the afternoon. Tues
day will be Creareus day. On that day. In
addition to the other good speedy attrac
tions, this notable horse will trot against
hl record, which until a few days ago
was the world's record for trotting. The
fact that this horse's record hna been low
ered will be an incentive to his owner to
mske a particular effort to beat his record,
and a remarkably faat trot can be ex
pected. Wednesday will be Fraternity day
and the different fraternal organizations In
Nebraska will be out In large numbers.
Competitive drills between different or
ganizations will be a feature of the day's
entertainment, and there will be bands In
abundance, and parades and demonstra
tions of the most attractive order. Thurs
day, alwaya a great day at the fair. Will
have some special attractions In races, and
on Friday the grand stock parade will
occur.
There Is no question but the fair of 1903
will be a record breaker In volume of ex
hibits, In attendance, and In attractive
features to Interest the people. Over
double the amount of money Is given for
racing this . year over that appropriated ft
year ago; and there will be the largest
lot of good horses In the speed earns ever
gathered before In the state. The races
every day will be good, starting Monday
with four strong races and ending Friday
with an equal number. Stock entries are
beyond all precedent already, and notwith
standing the fact that new buildings have
been added to the already commodious ar
rangements for stock men, the overflow Is
on; and two large tents have already been
engaged to accommodate late comers.
The agricultural exhibit will bo the larg
est In years, and while the fruit crop In
the state la a short ope. Horticultural hall
will nevertheless be one of the most at
tractive buildings on the grounds. In
every department entries are already from
30 to 60 per cent, greater than heretofore,
and there will be no building that will
not be completely filled and all space token.
The one fare for the round trip from all
points In Nebraska will commence on the
6th. the selling dates extending to the 11th
Inclusive, with tickets good to return on
the 12th. The different railroads center
ing In Lincoln have arranged special sched
ules for excursion trains, commencing
Tuesday morning of fair week; and the
fair management Is making every effort
to Impreas upon the railroads the Impor
tance of meeting the extra demands that
will be made on them for transportation.
Plana for Power Plant.
A dispatch received here today states that
the Westlnghouse Electric 'and Manufac
turing company Is getting out plans, esti
mates and specifications n contracts for
the complete electrical equipment of a
new electric power plant at Niobrara, Neb.,
a franchise for the construction of which
has been granted. The plans include a
wing dam In the Niobrara river near Its
mouth to carry a large part of the current
through a channel around Niobrara Island.
The specifications Indicate that an enor
mous amount of electrical current can be
developed for power purposes through the
use of water motors to generate electricity
and transmit current to consumers within
available territory, both for power and
lighting. It Is hoped to secure under these
plana the maximum amount of energy with
the minimum waste of water and least
possible leakage of electricity in trans
mission by using the lateat Improved pat
tern of machinery. Figures of the estimate
are not given out and will not be until
contracts are approved and executed. It
Is stated, however, to be 3200,000.
The enterprise to which this dispatch
seems to relate Is known In the office of
the state engineer as the Niobrara River
Power company, which filed an application
for water rights some two months ago. It
Is filed In the name of Clarence E. Plum
mer of Minneapolis, and It was claimed at
the time that It was filed that It had ample
capital behind It and meant business. The
plan contemplates the use of a system of
patent current motors which are to be
placed In the stream to be carried through
an old channel of the Niobrara near Its
mouth. Each of theae motors is expected
to afford a specific amount of power and
as many of them can be utilized as the
amount of power demanded will require.
This is but one of the power producing
enterprises claiming rights at that point,
which may conflict. One of them, the
Niobrara Irrigation and Water Power com
pany, has been granted water rights prior
to the application of this one, and there
Is still another application pending.
Joca-laa; the Departments.
Lincoln people will shortly be advised as
to why the work on the new federal build
ing has not begun. To find out Congress
man Uurkett left this afternoon for Wash
Ington. Thus far the plans for the build
lng have not even been completed, though
the date for actual beginning of the con
structlon Is almost here. Repeated letters
to Washington have failed to find the cause
of the delay.
While in Washington the First district
congressman will try to learn the reason
for the delay of the Postomce department
In establishing the new rural mall delivery
routes which have been located. About six
weeks ago the Inspector of the department
finished a tour of the district and located
enough additional routes to have practi
cally grldlroned the district. Recently the
fourth aealatant postmaster general, who
haa charge of the rural mail service, ruled
that there must be lot houses on a touts
before a carrier would be Installed. This
cut out many of the Nebraska routes, leav
ing the prospects for extensions of this
service under a cloud. In order to comply
with the terms of the order it would be
necessary to rearrange the routes laid out
some time ago with the result that an
other long delay would ensue.
Mr. Burkett will make an effort to have
the carriers started on the routes at once.
It Is generally believed among congress
men that the fourth assistant postmaster
general takes his stand cm the matter to
protect the fourth class postofflces which
have been greatly affected by the extension
of the rural maQ service. Mere than twenty
fourth class postofflces have heen discon
tinued In consequence of the extension of
the rural mail service.
Ursa Is la Earaest.
That Robert Ryan meant It when he
applied for aa Injunction during the late
legislature to prevent the members of that
august assembly from drawing pay for
more than forty days at 13 a day. is new
past enrjacturax Us. fiyaa 'won out la the
lower court and has today filed In the
supreme court his answer to the brief of
Auditor Weston.
Mr. Ryan recites the work of the legis
lature that fin decided lost the proposition
voted upon to amend the state constitu
tion and then ordered a recount which re
sulted 1n the adoption of the amendment.
The amendment voted upon November 3,
1WU, was to Increase the pay of the legis
lators from 33 to 35 a day and their term
of office from forty to atxty days. The
brief recites that the highest number of
votes cast at that election was 138,511. The
required majority for the passage of the
amendment was 9,2i. There was cast
for It as shown by the abstract of votes
filed In the office of the secretary of state,
63,713. Therefore the amendment foiled of
passage by 3.544 votes. These abstracts
were canvassed by the legislature of 13R7
and having declared the amendment lost
the canvassing board adjourned sine die.
On the fortieth day of the session the
brief said there was passed a bill ordering
a recount of the votes cast. By the pro
visions of this act the county clerks of
the various counties were ordered to send
to the secretary of state all the ballots and
poll books returned by such Judges and
clerks of elections. Inside of six days
after the bill became a law a board com
posed of the secretary and auditor of the
state and two senators and three represen
tatives, canvassed the vote and declare 1
the amendment carried. This" work is
designated In the brief as "the greatest
work ever accomplished In six days the
creation of the universe alone excepted."
When It became known to the senators
and representatives In the late legislature
that Mr. Ryan had asked for the Injunc
tion, such a grand rush was made for the
auditor's office that Mr. Ryan was con
strained to come to trie state house and
assure the members that he was willing
to wait until the adjournment of that
session before pushing his case. He has
been pushing it hard ever since Jhe session
closed. '
Object to Paying; Scott Claim.
In a brief filed today In the supreme court
the grand lodge of the Ancient Ojder of
United Workmen states to the court why
It should not pay the Insurance on the
life of Barrett Scott, the defaulting Holt
county treasurer, who was killed by citi
zens of that county.
The statement of facts shows that Bcott
was a member of the lodge In which he
held a berclary certificate payable to his
wife for 12. CCO. At the time Scott Joined, It
was compulsory on the part of the lodge
officers to notify each policy holder when
an assessment .was due. January 1, 1894
this law was changed that each member
pay 31 a month unless notified not to do so
by the legal paper of the order or some
other way designated by the grand lodge.
Jn June. 18S3, Scott deposited with the
financier of the local lodge 5 to be applied
on his assessments as they came due. In
August of the same year Scott la reported
to have absconded from the county In
which he lived and until October 10, 1893,
his whereabouts were unknown. In Bep
tember of that year the financier of the
local lodge returned to, tvirs. Bcott the re
mainder of the 35 that had not been applied
on the assessments and took her receipt
for the same. This was done In order that
Scott could be suspended from the lodge
because of the criminal proceedings lnsti
tuted against him, and that It might not be
necessary for the lodge to expel him.
Scott resided at O'Neill until December
10, 1594, when he was waylaid and killed
without having tried to be reinstated In the
lodge.

Misunderstanding; Ends the Trouble
Arising; from Cattle Ordinance
. In Village of Bellevue.
PAPILLION, Neb., Aug. 29.-(SpeclaL)
Benton Lewis, Jesse' McCarty and four
other cattlemen,- arrested at Bellevue
charged with resisting an officer, were re
leased and the case dismissed on account
of some misunderstanding let ween - the
court and the prosecuting attorney.
The trouble started over some stock. It
has been the custom at Bellevue to allow
the cltlsens to herd six head each within
the town limits. The cattlemen soon In
creased the size of the herds, and the
stock bscame so numerous as to destroy
small trees and lawns. An ordinance was
then passed prohibiting stock running
loose In town. This started the trouble,
Cltlxens vowed that they would not obey
the ordinance, and openly expressed their
ontempt for It. Charles Patrick, tho town
marshal, attempted to Impound the cattle,
and finally succeeded In running In a large
bunch. One night a party of the cattle
men made a call upon Patrick, seised him,
stripped him of his revolvers and ordered
him to release the stock at once. They
were released very promptly. The next
day Patrick tried to round up the cattle
again, but the men were too much for him
and stampeded the . cattle. He then at
tempted to arrest the cattlemen, but they
resisted, refusing to recognize the mar
shal's authority.
Patrick then came to Paplllion and swore
out warrants for the arrest of Lewis, Mc
carty and four others.

CHICAGO, Aug. 29. 8pedal Telegram.)--Governor
A. B. Cummins of Iowa will be
satisfied with running for re-election to
his present office without seeking the nomi
nation for vice president. At the Audi
torium today he said emphatically that he
has no aspiration to become a running
mate to President Roosevelt In the next
campaign.
"I have no desire for the position," he
said. "Nebraska haa a candidate for the
vlc presidency In John L. Webster, who
Is well known to the lawyers of the state.
There has been some talk of my state
being t given the honor of choosing the
nominee, but I am not after the place."
On the chances the democratic party has
of victory. Governor Cummtns argued that
the only hope of the party Ilea In unity.
"Unless a conservative candidate Is named
on a conservative platform and both are
supported by Mr. Bryan, the democrats
have no show," he said. "Mr. Bryan Is
weak about equally with Mr. Cleveland.
Neither can lead the party to victory, but
the support of both Is needed by the
nominee. If there Is absolute unity it won't
be a foregone conclusion that the repub
licans will win. I think Judge Parker of
New York Is the strongest man they have."
CASTLES ARE GOING TO DECAY
Bavaria Cannot Afford to Keep
Creations of the Lute Mad
Monarch.
IP
(Copyright. 1I03, by Press Publishing Co.)
MUNICH. Bavaria. Aug. 29. -(New York
World Cablegram Special Telegram.) Tho
numcroua castles of the late mad king of
Bavaria, Ludwlg n, are rapidly falling Into
ruin. They are magnificent productions.
but In their outward shape, position nnd
Interior decoration all betray the strain of
madness In the mind of their builder.
Some, like Neuschwanateln and Llndenhof,
cost fabujous sums, and to keep them In
repair would entail more trouble and ex
pense than the Bavarian government can
spare. The architectural value of the cas
tles Is regarded as small, and the govern
ment asks itself why It should go on lay
ing out money In perpetuating for posterity
what Is of no artistic value and which
after all Is only the craze of a mad mon
arch. It Is In contemplation to preserve In the
national museums some of the best speci
mens of art, like the gorgeous peacock
embroidered with brilliants, at the foot of
the poor king's bed, and which is said to
have' cost fl.fOO.OOO, but the rest of the
eccentric furniture and bric-a-brac will be
put up at auction and the castles will be
!eft to decay.
The reports of the king's health (a
younger brother of Ludwlg II), are satis
factory, but his mental state becomes
more and more deplorable. He Is rapidly
losing the power of speech, and no one see
him but his medical attendants and nurses
and the ministers, who visit him once a
month as a matter of state necessity and
precaution.
