Even though a majority of tha democrats of Nebraska do not believe as doea William J. Bryan that tha Kanaaa City platform should be re-affirmed, the Indications are now '.hat no fight will be made on Mr. Bryan's candidacy for a placs on tha Ne braska, delegation to the national demo cratic convention. While there are enough democrats In the state who have swerved from the beaten path of Bryanlsm to make an interesting fight sgalnst him. there are reasons for net fighting him at home. One prominent democrat, who Ilka many others prominent In the party, haa laid aside his views on silver, probably voiced the sentiments of many othera when he said Mr. Bryan should go to tha national convention and have a hand In forming the platform and In naming the candidate, because even though he is defeated In his ambitions to control the convention, as he ould be a part of the convention, he would be leas liable to bolt the ticket. I shall not make a fight on Bryan for that very reason. It he be a part of the con ventlon he la lest liable to bolt tha ticket That ha will be defeated In the convention there la no doubt. In fact I see not a ghost of a show for Mm to win out In his plat form Ideas. What has ha left upon which to build hie hope of success? Teller, Lu bols, Towne and even Weaver havr turned their backa on the Kansaa City platform and with these men acknowledging that free silver Is not an Issue I cannot see how Mr. Bryan will ever get tha next dsmo cratio convention to Indorse his views. "I (Irmly believe that Mr. Bryan haa an Idea to be the next candidate of tha party because no man haa yet been mentioned whom he Is willing to endorse. But I be lieve that Mr. Bryan hoped v that the re publloana would nominate Senator Hanna and In that case he would like to match his strength against the republicans. He would stand little show against President Roosevelt, and I believe with the pre! dent aa the standard-bearer of the opposi tion Bryan would not want the nomination He knows that he la no stronger in the east than he waa and he knows that against Roosevelt In the west he would If You Pity a Sick Friend Tell Me His N.ne.

In my opinion Mr. Bryan will never realise his ambition lo become president. He has been too abusive to those who oppose his views." Speaking of the action of the Douglas County Democracy In endorsing W. R. Hearst for the democratic nomination fc.r the presidency, this man said Be believed that club was acting solely on Its own re sponsibility. "It Is more than likely the object of the endorsement was to recurs funds with which to carry on a campaign, and they endorsed Hearat thinking that he had sufficient money to scatter should it be placed In the right direction. But In thla I believe the Douglas couhty organisa tion will lose out. Hearst cornea rearer than anyone else mentioned to filling the Bryan Idea. Hearst naturally expects Bryan to control the Nebraska delegation and he knows that If It comes to a show down Bryan will vote the delegation for him rather than for anyone else so far mentioned. Therefore he will not be likely to throw any campaign funds around the Douglas county headquarters." Beakers' laloa Case Thursday. The application for an Injunction to pre vent the Bankers' Union of the World from doing business and for the appointment of a permanent receiver, will be heard by the supreme court Thuraday. In the mean time E. C. Spinney, president of the com pany, got Into court this morning with his answer to the charges embodied In the ap plication for the Injunction, and he denies every one of the charge. He said neither he nor his wife had ever taken a cent of money from the order that waa not right fully coming to them; that the order waa not run In the Interest of E. C. 8plnney and all the other charges he specifically denies. He alleges that the application for the temporary receiver waa based on a re port of an examiner of the Insurance de partment of the state and that the exami nation of the affairs of the company had not been thorough and was not unpreju diced. He asks' the. court for an early hearing and a thorough examination 'nto the affairs of the company, because he said the temporary Injunction would work much Injury to the company, as many a scsaments now due would not be paid, and many policies would be allowed to lapse.

Last month 116, 000 was taken in and this month Deputy Pierce figures that all of 122.000 will be paid In. Already 2,600 agents' licenses have ben Issued and It la believed the list will be greatly Incressed over last year. This Is due to the Isrge number of agents being put In the field by home companies In an effort to keep at home most of that $3,000. 000 which Is sent out of the state for Insur ance.

COMMITTEE BUSY Barpy CountjvTaxpayen Go After County Board and Orotriotor. ATTEMPT AT BRIBERY NOW CHARGED Coanty Attoraey "ays Bridge Con tractor offered Him SfVOO to Prep Jarige Day. PAPILLION, Neb., Feb. 1. (Special.) Taxpayers from all part of the county were present Saturday at the meeting held at the court house to look Into the action of the county commissioners regarding the alleged extravagant expenditure of, the county's money In the building and repair- ng of the bridges throughout the county. Letters had been sent to all the taxpayers requesting them to attend the public meet ing. The court room was packed, repre sentatives coming from the most refoto parts of the county. I. D. Clarke wa. elected chairman of the meeting and O. D. MrClaskey secretary. Nearly every onj present stated their views of the contro versy. A majority of the taxpayers were dead against the actions of the county board, while some were favorable to them. No definite conclusion waa arrived at, as the entire time waa taken up In hearing how the taxpayers stood. County Attorney Patrick stated the board's action was clearly Illegal, that 78 per cent ot the entire levy for last year waa used In the repair nd building of bridges, and that after the bridge fund had been exhausted the board transferred large sums from the general fund to the bridge fund and continued Its expenditures. (hargei Attempt at Bribery. Mr. Patrick a few weeks ago applied to Judge Day In Omaha for a '.'emporary In unction against the Sheeley Bridge com pany and the county board prohibiting them from completing the repairs on the bridges. The Injunction was granted and Mr. Patrick said that afterward as Patrick was walking down the street In Omaha Mr. Sheeley cal4 him Into the Paxton hotel and laid out a plan whereby he would give Patrick $300 If tie would call the fight off and let things stand aa they were. Mr. Patrick refused to do this, and later an other person representing Sheeley called on Patrick tynd offered to raise Ihe amount to 1700 If Patrick would cease his aggressive ness. This caused quite a sensation and Chairman Clarke had difficulty In restoring order. Sheeley was present, but did not deny the truth of this. An organlzatipn to be known as tha Tax payers association was perfected ana I. D. Clarke chosen chairman and O. D. Mc Closkey tecretary. Mr. Clarke was given pewer to ca'.l mother meeting In the near future. This rae is the sole topic of con versation throughout the county. Object to former Report. PAPILLION, Neb., Feb. 1. To the Editor of The Beo: The report of the taxpayers' meeting held at Pa pillion on January 30, and which appeared In the Sunday issue of your paper, Is such a gross misrepre sentation of what really took place that we ak you to give space to this correc tion. In the flrat place it was the purpose of no one to denounce the county commis sioners as Cishonest, and no such attempt was made. A bitter nttack upon County Attorney Patrick, which appeared In the Springfield Monitor ever the signature of County Commissioner Votings, waa an swered by Mr. Patrick in a manner which seemed, to ladlcatetithat Mr. Youngs had made some very , serious mistakes in Ms attack. Among othea, flings, Mr. Tovngs chargltd Mr. Patrick with bringing' the Injunction suit against Mr. Sheeley and the commissioners with the expectation that something would happen which, did not. Replying, Mr. Patrick aald that the day she lemporary injunction was signed by Judge Day Mr. Sheeley offered him $600 if he would quit the f.ght; that a few days later a person claiming to be the repre sentative of Sheelejy offered him 1700 If he would not oppose an accounting between Sheoley and the county In ihe injunction suit wherein the county waa not a party. Although Mr. Sheeley and his representa tive were present no denial of Mr. Patrick's statements waa heard. What tha Flaares Shew. It waa shown by figures taken from tha county records that during the year 1901 the expenditures through the bridge fund would aggregate (28,000, while there was only legally available for such expend! tures 5 per cent of less than 110,000; that for thla purpose) 17,000 had been trans ferred from the general fund to the bridge fund, and an additional 12,000 ordered paid from the road fund; that the commissioners had ordered the construction of fourteen bridges, one ot which waa to coat over $10,000, after the expiration of the annual bridge contract with Sheeley; that tha construction of thirteen of these bridges had been enjoined at tha Instance of the county attorney that the orders .glyen by (he county board for tha erection of bridges, so far aa they appear of record, had never contained a single specification aa to character, dimensions or cost of the bridges ordered, but that such Informa tion was to be found only in a private order book In the poaaeaalon Of Mr, Sheeley; that after an appeal by taxpayers STOMACH TROUBLE. Stomach trouble it the most distressing affliction known to humanity, and takes on so many forms that it is often impos sible for those without medical educa tion to decide from a patient's tymptoms as to just what particular ailment is afflicting them. People suffering from this dread disease become nervous and cannot sleep. They have belching and bourn eas of the stomach, bad dreams, acute stomach pains, or colic, a feeling of fullness after meals, appetites varying from ravenous to that where there is ao desire for food. They have indigestion, constipation, heartburn, yellow tkin, coated tongue, bad taste in the mouth, liver trouble, and catarrh of the stomach. Now all these symptoms mean limply that the stomach has grown weak, and is not properly digesting the food given it. The intensity of action in modern life, the nervous strain in business and so ciety, and the improper mastication of the food ail contribute their share towards bringing about this condition. Many preparations have been offered to the public for the relief of those suf fering from 'Stomach trouble which aid temporarily only, for after a .tittle the patient feels worse than before treatment. Within the last six months, buwever, there has been perfected a remedy for all these ailments, which absolutely reaches the seat of disease and positively cures any and all troubles of the stomach, bowels, lungs and throat. It relieves inflammation, builds up the system, enriches the blood, strengthens the various organs of the body, and is guaranteed not only to give immediate relief, but effort a permanent cure. This remedy is known as Milks' Emulsion, and is wonderfully beneficial to children as well as adults. Its effect on the sick is immediate, and one bottle will give sat iaiactory results or your money will be returned by your druggist. Price 50c. per bottle. Manufactured by The Milks' tmuiaioa company, Terra Haute, lad. from an order allowing Sheeley 15,000, the commissioners had reconsidered thlr ac tion, conceited the warrant, allowed Sheeley to withdraw his claim and then Joined with him in requesting an account ing In the Injunction suit brought by the county atorney, for the purpose of en abling him to escape the trial of the Is sued to a Jury; that Sheeley has Increased his charges for building wooden bridges from 82.16 per lineal foot In 1R97 to 8S20 per lineal foot In 1903; that In addition to receiving pay per lineal foot for erecting steel bridges, he haa also been paid per lineal foot for the tubing and permitted to do the repair work under hla annual contract, which Is clearly Illegal: that no proper bond has been required of Sheeley and that the commissioners hsd failed to publish an advertisement for bids n any paper of general circulation throughout the state. There was no attempt to exhonerate either the commissioners or Sheeley. as It was only the purpose of the meeting to discuss fscts and, figures and if deemed necessary, to organise a permanent tax pa ye re' league to keep an eye on the methods employed in the conduct of the county affairs. The meeting, without a dissenting vote, determined that such an organisation waa necessary and proceed ings were taken for the organization thereof. Very truly yours. I. D. Clarke. O. D. M CLOSKEY.
