Another chapter In ths famous Boyd
county land ease has been reached and
again the contention of Land Commissioner
Follmer that tha land belongs to the state
and not to tha general government has
been austaJned by the Department of the
Interior. The decision waa handed down
Jannary 23 and It was received thla morn
Ing by the land commissioner from the
land office at O'Neill. The decision upholds
the action of tha register and receiver at
O'Neill In rejecting the application tor
homestead. 1 .
With the opinion from Washing-ton It Is
stated that the sixteen homestead appli
cations (including Alexander H. . Blair,
whose case haa been made the test case)
were rejected beoauee the tracts were em
braced In approved school land Indemnity
selection lists.
Nat Fight Bryan.
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

have no show. But there Is no doubt thst
he wants to hold open the nomination as
long as possible, but. 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.

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.
