V"r tot Dyspepsia.
In, these days of Jiumbuggery and da
ceDtion. ths manufacturers of patent roedl-
i allien as - rule, seem to think their
medlslnes will pot sell unless they claim
that It will cure every disease under the
sun. And they never think of, leaving
out dyspepsia and stomach troubles. They
are sure to claim inai muir nu.uui.i
absolutely certain to cure every dyspeptic
and he need look no further.
la the face of these absurd claims It Is
refreshing to note that the proprietors of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have carefully
refrained from making, any undue claims
or falss representations regarding the
pasrlts of this most excellent remedy for
dyspesia and stomach troubles. They make
but one claim for It, and that is, that for
Indigestion and various ' stomach troubles
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tableta Is a radical
cure.' Tbey go no further than this, and
any laan or woman suffering from indiges
tion, chronic or nervous dyspepsia, who will
give ths remedy a trial will find nothing
Is claimed for It that ths facts wlU not fully
sustain.
It I a modern . discovery, composed of
harmless vegetable Ingredients acceptable
to the weakest or most delicate stomach.
Its great success In curing stomach troubles
la due to the fact that the medicinal prop
erties are such that K will digest whatever
wholesome food Is taken Into the stomach,
no matter whether the stomach la In good
working order or not- It rests the over
worked organ and replenishes ths body,
ths blood, the nerves, creating a healthy
appetite, giving refreshing sleep end the

DOINGS
OF
THE
LEGISLATORS
Committee Hearing; on County Option
DHL
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Feb. 2.-(Speclal.)-Carl Her
ring spoke for the brewers of Omaha
against the county option bill Introduced
In the senate by Bhreck of Tork county.
The talk was delivered to the senate Ju
diciary committee.'' fringing to bear his
experlonce as a lawyer, he picked flaws In
the bill and sought to bring to light Its
hidden object. He said the title provided
for local option, while the bill provided for
prohibition. He told how dangerous It was
to tinker with existing laws unless there
was a popular demand for a change. He
asserted the Slocumb law had given satis
faction and there was no popular demand
for an amendment to It.
Those who favored the measure were:
Chancellor Andrews of the State university,
Mrs. Dora Wheeloek, president of the state
Women's Christian Temperance union;
President Lam pan of Bellevue college. Prof.
Falrchilds of Doane cqllege, Dr. Wight,
president of the Hastings college; J. B.
Lynch, representing the Quldeons; Dr. Bat
ten of Orand Island college, Chancellor
AllBWorth of Cotner, Chancellor Lewis of
Union college. Dr. J. B. Cams, president
of the Anti-Saloon league; Thomas Darnell.
Editor Esser of the Pllger, published here,
and Carl Herring of Omaha represented
the brewers, and were (the only ones who
spoke In opposition to the bill.
Tho advocates of the bill protested that
It was the right of the county to govern
Itself and tho cltlxens of the county tbey
advocated should hava ths right to say
whether or not they wanted saloons. The
brewers. It was claimed, owned or backed
most of the saloons in the smaller towns:
that the farmers should have a right to say
whether these saloons should operata. It
was argued that the county had to pay Its
share of the cost of prosecutions In cases
where men under the Influence of liquor
committed crimes, and yet the farmers had
no say In the matter of saloons. The ob
ject of the bill. It was stated, was merely
to give to the people the right to express
themselves on the question.
Editor Esser, In opposition to the bill, told
that prohibition would a-A stop the sale of
liquor; that In prohibition states It was
possible to seoure sny kind of drink, and
he gave Instances from his own personal
experiences.
The committee met In the senate chamber
and the lobby and gallery were well filled
with spectators. Chairman Epperson pre
sided. A petition signed by the mayor and mem
bers of the city council of Beatrice, en
dorsing 8. F. 63. which allows cities snd
counties to foreclose on tax liens, was read
to the senate. The petition stated that It
such a bill became a law the city of Be
atrice could clear up about 850,000 worth of
back taxes.
Senators Cady, Fries and Wllsey returned
this morning from Lansing, Kaa., where
they went to Investigate the manufacture
of binding twine. Their report la not yet
ready for the senate. Mr. Cady said the
penitentiary was making 4 per cent on Its
Investment.'
Senator Glffln of Dawson county this
morning presented te ths senate a petition
signed by 600 residents of Scott's Bluff
county asking for the passage of 8. F. 9
which provides that Irrigation districts
shall have the power to condemn irrigation
property. The cbj ct of this bill It I cUlmsd
Is to prevent a few capitalists from getting
hold of all the Irrigation property In that
part of the state and from establishing a
system of tenant farming.
Representative Foster of Douglas today
took the Initiative for a general overhaul
Ing and revision of the freight rates e
Nebraska and therefore to carry out the
policy announced and being pursued by
President Roosevelt for more equitable
freight rates. He Introduced this resolu
tlon, which was unanimously passed by
the house:
Resolved, That the speaker of the house
re ana is nereoy directed to appoint i
committee of three with Instructions to re
vise the present freight rate law and re
port back to this house In ten days a Jusi
and reasonable freight-rate bill one that
will be fair and equitable between the
shippers and the railroads of this state.
Speaker Rouse appointed as the commit
tee Foster, Junkin of Gosper and Davis
of Buffalo. Junkin Is the author of the
anti-trust and anti-rebate bill, now pend
Ing before the house.
In a recent Interview Representative Kyd
gave this explanation of his bill:
It has been argued that the Immediate
result would be to piit existing societies oui
Of business Unltl snrrlal sesslnna nf the lor.
Islative body of the various organisations
affected by it could be held and their laws
amended to conform to the provisions ol
his act. .This Is an erroneous conclusion
sui Dimness or tnese societies can go on
witnnut Interruption until a session of the
legislative uooy is held and then the pro
visions of this act will become lmmedl
aieiy operative.
Commenting on this today. Hon. E.
Harris, member of the legislative committee
of the National Fraternal congress, said
inis statement Is erroneous and not
borne out by the bill itself. The bill has
attached to it an emergency clause and Is
expected to go Into Immediate force after
Its passage, approval and publication as
required by law.
ieariy a(l the fraternal organizations
or mis state, as. well as of other states,
cumene meir legislative body only onoe
In four years. Some of these societies will
have their legislative bodies meet this fall
others not until next year, and still they
would be required to conform to the pro
visions or this bill as soon as It was passed,
approved and published.
it extra sessions were called in the
rorty-three societies which would have to
amend their laws to comply with the Kyd
oui, it would cost not less than 81.000.000
Who Is expected to foot this bill? Again,
een in case of the calling of special see
slons, owing to the manner of electing and
assembling the legislative bodies, It would
require from six to nine months.
All .1 . .
n inran questions nave been gone
over very thoroughly and provisions made
in the uniform bill to take care of each
and all societies to the end that the mem
bers of the several societies will have fully
protected tneir rights In the premises.
"The statement that the Ancient Order of
United Workmen, Modern Woodmen of
America and other societies carrying about
inree-nrtns of all the fraternal insurance
now In force In this state are now In har
mony with every requirement of this act li
net true, and those societies, as well as all
the fraternallsts of the state are speaking
in no uncertain terms In denouncement of
the drastic provisions of the Kyd and
snrecK bllln.
These bills are based on no abuses to
be corrected, but simply on the fear that
something may happen manifestly a poor
lounaation rc-r legislation."
IN STATE OF SIEGE
(Continued from First Page.)
trlct, where minute records are kept, show
that In breaking up the demonstration of
January 22, of the thousands of troops on
guard only 480 actually fired. These troops
represented eight different units, from a
squad of eight to a company of 120, and
the total number of ball cartridges ex
pended was 1,002. The authorities point
out that this Indicated that there was no
reckless or general volleying. The number
of wounded in the hospitals today Is 208.
The report of Maxim Gorky's release ap
parently either Is incorrect, or, Jf true, he
was released on the promise to leave St.
Petersburg without the slightest delay. He
had not returned home up to a late hour
last night. The friend with whom he
lives and who was permitted to visit him
yesterday afternoon for the first time since
his arrest told the Associated Press that
he found the author still In solitary con
finement In the St. reter and St. Paul
fortress. The novelist, whose real name is
not Maxim Gorky, which Is a pseudonym,
meaning "Maxim the Bitter." but Alexis
Pyeshkoff, did not expect release for soms
time and did not know whether he would
be brought before the court trial or de
ported by administrative order. He philo
sophically proposed to devote his period of
Imprisonment to learning the English lan
guage and remedying other deficiencies In
his peasant's education. He begged his
friend to procure text books of English
and German, natural sciences, etc. At
present he speaks only Russian.
Trouble I Subsiding;.
The latest reports received by Consul
General Watts from the American consuls
In Russia Indicate a cessation of the trouble
In most of the Industrial centers of the
country.
The consul at Riga reports that the riot
ing at that place was precipitated by stu
dents and rowdies, who fired on the police.
The police and troops returned the fire
end fifty-three persons were killed and 150
wounded.
At Reval the soldiers were obliged to
defend a factory on Saturday against a
mob. Three rioters were killed and several
others were wounded.
Gorky Is Released.
Maxim Gorky, the author who was ar
rested shortly after the disturbances at
St. Petersburg January 22, has been re
leased from custody.

The explosion of a lantern In the rear of
the building occupied by the Alfalfa Meal
company on Jones, between Fourth and
Fifth streets, started a fire that damaged
property in that vicinity to 1he extent
of 838,000. The fire was discovered by the
watchman of the Alfalfa Meal company
and an alarm sent In about f:4S last even
Ing. The principal losers by the fire will
be the Alfalfa Meal cflmpSe and the In
ternational Manufacturing . mpany, lo
cated next to the meal company. If. G.
Payne, president of the Alfalfa Meal com
pany, estimated the value of fits company's
stock at 828,000. and stated the company
carried about 810.000 Insurance. The value
of the stock of the International Manufac
turlng company was plkctd at $15,000, fully
covered by Insurance. The building oc
cuplcd by that company was owned by
Sheriff Power, and Is valued at 84,000.
There was about 82,000 Insurance on this
building. The building occupied by the
Alfalfa Meal company was owned by Mrs.
Hennessey of this city, and is valued at
about il.doo. It la not known whether any
Insurance was carried, . The. building of
the Alfalfa Meal company was burned to
the ground and It Is thought that tho. stock
will be a total loss. Ths building occupied
by the International Manufacturing com
pany was only partially, .destroyed, and
the loss to building and stock will not
amount to more than $7,600, which Is fully
covered by insurance. , .. .
Owing to the Inflammable character of
the stock In the building occupied by the
Alfalfa Meal company the fire spread very
rapidly and soon the whole building was a
mass of flames. A second alarm was turned
In soon after the firemen arrived and -a
number of streams were soon playing upon
the fire. Of all the streams turned on the
fire only one or two of them were of any
use, owing to lack of pressure. Only the
lines of hose attached to steamers . had
pressure enough to reach the top of the
buildings. Had it not been for this dif
ficulty It would have been possible to save
the establishment Sf the International
Manufacturing company. In spite of all the
firemen could do under these adverse cir
cumstances tho root of that building soon
caught fire and was burned off and the
upper story gntted by the flames.
A barn In the rear of the Alfalfa com
pany, In which a team of horses owned
by the International Manufacturing com
pany were' kept, caught fire soon after the
flames were discovered and It was with
difficulty that the horses were saved, the
roof of the barn falling In almost on the
heels of the horsts as they were led from
the stable.
The owners of the buildings were unable
to stato last evening whether or not they
would rebuild.
The Intense cold waS also a handicap to
the work of the firemen. In addition to
physical discomfort It entailed.' Every bit

MILLERS MAY GET A REBATE
Attorney General Sustains Position
Taken by Secretary of the
Treasury.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The attorney
general has rendered an opinion In which
he holds that drawback may be allowed
on exported flour made n part from Im
ported wheat. He also holds that evi
dence of books of account may be used to
establish the right of a mai-ufacturer to a
drawback.
The question was raised by Secretary
Shaw as to whether drawbacks may legally
be allowed on exported flour made In part
from imported wheat. It has been before
the Treasury department for several
months and has excited much Interest, es
pecially In the milling sections of the coun
try where considerable quantities of Ca
nadian hard wheat Is annually Imported for
the purpose of mixing with domestic wheat,
thus. It Is said, materially Increasing the
quality of the flour produced. The attorney
general holds In effect that drawback may
bo allowed on flour produced in part from
Imported whent, provided the customs offi
cials, enn Identify the foreign material and
can ascertain.. to, their satisfaction by- the
books .of account or otherwise, the quantity
or measure of the foreign material actually
presented In the completed article.
The attorney general adds:
It is to bo presumed that having In view
the dangers of mistake or substitution of
material, suitable regulations will be
framed which will require clear proof of the
Identity and quantity of the Imported ma
terial used, the amount of duty paid thereon
nnd the quantity or measure of the im
ported material actually present .in the
completed article offered for export. Under
the conditions which I have stated the man
ufacturer, in my opinion, is entitled to the
drawback allowed by section 80 of trie
tariff act of July 24, 1897, and I so ndvlse
you. -
HOT WORDS FItOM GENERAL TAFT
I'rsvea
Congress to Pnas Philippine
Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2. Secretary Taft
has addrossed to Chairman Payne of the
house, committee on ways and means an
exhaustive statement of the reasons which
Impel him to urge earnestly on congress
the passage during the present session of
the pending Philippine tariff bill. The sec
retary's reasons are in substance as fol
lows: Whatever ultimately will be done with
the Philippines, they are necessarily for
the next generation a part of the United
States, and there Is no more reason for a
lanir againxt tnem than against Hawaii
or Porto Klco or our territories. Under
Spanish rule Philippine sugar was given
a preferential rate of 3 cents per pound
when Imported into Spain, while the Span
ish government took all of Its tnluir,-,. in
supply the government monopoly, from
Cuba and the Philippines. Now Bpaln buys
In the cheapest market and the Philippines
have lost the Spanlnh trade. The I'nlted
Slates Is under obligation to make good
this deficiency, which has been made larger
by the Increase of the Import tax on sugar
and tobacco by Japan and Australia, thus
reducing the sales of the 1'hlllppine com
modities. Unless the American tariff Is
reduced In favor of the Philippines, the
law requiring the islands' trade with the
Unltud States to be carried only In Ameri
can bottoms will be a great burden and
Injustice to the Filipinos. Congress should
make good the heavy loss to the Inlands'
revenues caused by the repeal, at the de
mand of the American farmer, of the ex
port tax on hemp, a lows not made good
by the return to the Islands of the Import
duty on hemp collected In the United Slates.
A total removal of duties on Philippine
products entering the I'nlted States Is not
asked for at this time, though It will be
In lSwfl when an Internal revenue system
applied to the Islands probably will de
velop enough revenue to enable them to
have free trade.
The opposition to the reduction of the
duties on sugar and tobaoco has been
nursed by pulil professional agents circu
lating misleading anil unfounded state
ments, which has now developed a decided
opposition to tho bill by the representa
tives of all the sugHr anil tobacco. Interests
of the country except Hawaii and Porto
Rico. The entire present production of
the Philippines would not apprecisiily af
fect the American market If admitted un
der the proposed rates. The Philippine
sugar lurid Is limited; Is not as good as the
Cuban land, and the truth Is that the same
land will produce hemp, copra and rice
much more profitably than suKar, so It Is
the height of absurdity to suppone that
even with free trade. In sugar with the
United States there would be any consid
erable Increase In the Philippine sugar
product. No Philippine tobacco of any
kind is exported commercially to the United
States and only wrappers and fillers are
raised, but fobaceo Cannot be laid down
In New York at less than 78 cents per
pound, considerably more than the price
for the superior Connecticut wrapper, so
there Is not the slightest danger of com-
yetitinn with the American tiller. Tho
'hlllpplne cigar cannot compete with the
Cuban cigar and Is not in the same class.
The total export nf Philippine cigars to all
countries was onlv Pe.OOO, whereas Amur.
Ic produces 7,000.000.000 cigars, so that the
suggestion of competition la absurd. A
60 per cent reduction of the tariff rates
would not do the Islands the slightest
good, as has been proved by experience
with the 25 per cent reduction.
The secretary, In conclusion, pleads for
justice for the Philippines. . He supports
his statement by letters from Colonel Ed
wards of the .Insular bureau and figures
from Collector Calton of Hollo.

BILLOTS NOT IN BOXES
Denver Eleotion Judgei Testify that There
Wat Not Boom for Them.
POSTMASTER'S BALLOT IS FRAUDULENT
Federal Official Identifies His Ticket
from Among Those Which
Were Condemned by
Kxperts.
DENVER, Feb. 2.-rOne of the mysteries
nf .the alleged ballot box stuffing at the
election last November was cleared away
by a witness In the Peabody-Adams guber-
nntorlal contest before the Joint legislative
committee this afternoon. The experts In
h:any precincts have declared a number of
ballots probably Illegal because they were
not creased In such a manner as was neces
sary for them to be passed through the
slot In the I oxes. Alderman A. D. Mauft
was called by the democratic attorneys to
Identify his ballot. He was successful In
this and on cross-examination he was asked
to show how he folded his ballot to put It
through the slot. This brought out the
statement that many of the ballots In that
precinct had never been In the ballot box
because there was not room for them. In
stead, with the consent of the election offi
cials and the supreme court watchers, they
were cast In the outside case of the ballot
box and were not folded In the same man
ner as those which were put In the ballot
box proper.
Most of the witnesses examined this
sfternoon were foreign-born persons resid-
ng in Elyrla, a suburb of this city, whose
ballots had been declared by the Peabody
experts to be fraudulent. They Identified
their ballots when they were shown them,
but were unable to pick them out of a num
ber of ballots with any certainty after the
ballots were mixed up by the attorneys.
Each witness was asked to write the
word "Democratic" as he had written It on
the ballot and in each case the handwriting
was Identical with that on the ballots.
Postmaster's Ballot. Fraudulent.
The unsealers of . ballots . reported on a
number of ballots which the experts had
testified were written by tho same hand.
One of the bunches of ballots alleged to
be in trie same handwriting were found
to be those voted by John C. Twombly, for
merly postmaster of Denver, and Milton
Aufanger, a republican state senator, and
two members of his family.
One of the principal witnesses of the
night session was Senator Milton Anfenger,
republican member of the committee.
He was shown a ballot included among
tho fraudulent ones reported by Expert
Fleury, the number of which corresponded
with the number appearing opposite his
name on the poll book of the precinct In
which he lived and voted. While he was
unwilling to say positively that .this was
his ballot, he deolared the handwriting re
sembled his very closely and he could not
say the ballot was the one he voted. Sena
tor Anfenger testified that he Intended to
ote a straight republican ticket and was
under the Impression that he did so. How
ever, the ballot which was recorded as his
had two marks upon it, one a cross after
the name of a. democratic candidate for
representative and the other a murk for the
constitutional amendment provision. He
said he macked his ballot according to the
latter, but was surprised that another
mafic appeared on the ballot accredited to
him. Qn cross-examination he said he be
lieved a great deal of repeating was car
ried op at a number of polling places In
the city where he visited during the day.
On redirect examination he was questioned
as to his Opinion ' concerning his com
petency to sit as a fair and impartial Juror
In the governorship contest. He 'admitted
that from what he saw on election day
ho believed that a great deal of fraud
was committed In the Interest of Alva
Adams and therefore doubted his com
petency to Judge fairly and Impartially
according to tho evidence admitted In the
contest hearing. Asked by Attorney John
Rush, representing the conteatee, as to his
having attended meetings, caucuses and
conferences of members of the legislature
at which the Question of reseating Gov
ernor Peabody was discussed and whether
or not those discussions had not already
determined his decision In case of a con
test, he said It would not have effect on
his vote. He also denied that he had received-Instructions
from corporations con
cerning his vote on the contest.
Physician Identifies His nallot.
Dr. Thomas Hopkins, a prominent physi
cian of this city, was called to the stand and
Identified his ballot among the alleged
fraudulent ballots reported by the expert.
Robert 8. Lamont, a republican Judge in
precinct 6, ward 14, where a number or al
leged fraudulent ballots were found by ex
perts, testified that the conduct of the elec
tion in his precinct waa "fair and square,"
and that the supreme court watchers found
no fault with the conduct of the election.
He told of the necessity of using the ballot
box case for depositing the ballots when
the ballot box had become filled, and on
cross-examination admitted that he waa
away from ths polling place ten or fifteen
minutes later In the afternoon. He said
that his watchers and thoss of ths supremo
court were In the room during his absence,
and he did not believe that any ballot boa
stuffing, ss alleged, could have been en
gaged In.

The First Slims of Disease are a Poor
Complexion, Weakness, Emacia
tion and Lack of Vitality.
The first sign of returning health Is
increase of flesh, strength and vigor.

ple would take this food occasionally
when in health to keep their blood
and nerves in good condition, many
spells of sickness and wasting disease
would be prevented. It makes sick
people cell, puts solid flesh and mus
cle on thin people, gives strength to
weak people, restores the lost vitality
to nervous people, imparts the tint of
health to pale and sallow people. It
