fFrom a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Nov. 30.-(Speclal.) State
Treasurer Mortnsen said today that dur
ing the past year holders of school land
contracts have been paying the principal
at the rate of $l,SnO a day,'' on the average.
He regards this fact as an Indication that
tho people living on such lands are anxious
to own their own homo, although the low
late of Interest prevailing and the ease
with which money Is secured plays a part.
The Interest on the contracts Is 6 per
cent under the Urms of the statutes. The
payment of this principal necessitates the
purchase of additional Investments and It
tneans a much lower Interest return also.
The average Interest received will not much
exceed 3" per cent.
Originally the state had two sections In
each township, which would now have an
aggregate value or many 'millions. Most
cf the land still held by the state In fee
simple Is In the west and has, Mr. Morten-
sen estimated, a value not much In excess
of 15,000,000 at the present market figures.
The plethoric condition of the county
treasuries received additional confirmation
In the payment of Ho.000 by Otoe county
and SlO.niQ by Howard county this morning
for the redemption of bonds to the amount
of J50.000 held In the permanent school
fund.
Tomoirow morning there will be about
$'.,000 In the permanent fund. Treasurer
Mortensnn, In anticipation of this condi
tion, sent out noties to bond sellers sev
eral days ago Informing them that the
State board will consider, propositions for
the sale of Investment to the fund on De
cember 14. No county bonds are available,
ao that the securities .of Massachusetts or
some other -state will be lfi. cn. Mr. Mor-tt-iigcn
said today that ho gave general
notice so as to insure the greatest possible
competition among the brokers.
At the treasurer s office the Intimation
was given out today that the total out
standing state general fund warrants will
be shown by the report for the fiscal year
ending today to have reached 12.500,000.
although the exact figures are not yet
available.' Of this amount over $2,000,000
Is held as Investment In the permanent
fund. ' .

State Superintendent McBricn has writ
ten the following letter defining his posi
tion on the subject of free passes. That
portion of tae latter dealing with the
ftsSntjr of hln office to get along without

the general contention that the state
officials would be hampered in the per
formance of tbeir official duties If the
transportation was cut off. He Is obliged
to travel more than, any other state
official and. yet. he says, "-the public is
ready and willing to meet our expenses

CM ADR OX HA" PROSPEROrS YEAR
Both Town and Connty Hare Done
Well.
CHADRON. Neb., Nov. 30 (Special.)
Chadron has great cause for thanksgiving.
In Its Improvements and growth tha present
year. The business houses have many of
them been renovated and enlarged. Sev
eral new firms opened up and M. W. Fair,
an old-time business man here, hss re
turned with a large stock of furniture. A
large number of fine modern residences
have been erected and cottages by the
doxens, still people cannot find houses to
tent and contracts are already let for next
spring.
The past season has been as good. If not
better, for crops than any previous one In
the history of Dawes county. Wheat, oats,
barley, rye. In fact all small grains, have
yielded larger averages than ever before.
Potatoes In such quantities that not over
two-thirds were dug, though of the usual I
excellent quality.
The stock season being about over, many
of the stockmen have been Interviewed, and
the consensus of opinion Is that more money
for stock has been received than In any
other year, the principal reasons assigned
being the better price than last year and
the extra amount of stock shipped, all
having been held back last year that It
was possible to hold, and the good range
this year brought the stock to such a
condition the weight wa heavy.

Farm Rand Attempts Salclde.
TECUM8EH. Neb., Nov. 30 - Special )
Edward Austerman, a farm hsnd who has
been working for Herman Wellenselk In
the northeast part of this county for sev
eral months, made a desperate attempt at
suicide. He cut his throat with a pocket
knife and wandered Into the cornfield ot
William Wellenselk, a brother and neigh
bor of his employer. When found he was
In an unconscious condition, having lain
out In the field for several hours and having
lost a great deal of blood. A surgeon was
called, and upon examination It was found
that the knife had barely missed the Jugu
lar vein and had cut the trachea half in
two. It required three separate rows of
stitches to close the wound, which was an
ugly one. Austerman Is a young man. prob
ably 21 years of age, and haa been despond
ent of late. He Is reported as getting along
as well as could be expected and will prob
ably recover.
Thanks the Bnrllnatoa.
McCOOK, Neb., Nov. 30.-(Speclal.)-The
gift of every-day service except Sunday
given the people on the McCook and Im
perial branch of the Burlington was
the greatest reason the people of that sec
tion had today for thanksgiving and re
joicing. The three-times-a-week service
has been an excruciating thorn In their
side ever since Its establishment, and now
that the business Is greatly Increased, the
service haa been utterly Inadequate and
unsatisfactory In the extreme. Jim Hill's
Thanksgiving gift Is a great blessing to
them, and will prove no little stimulant
In the development of that section and In
encouraging Immigration and land buying
up the Frenchman valley.

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Nov. S0.-(Spe-clal.)
J. B. Domkln, arrested yesterday

dered by a man named Blake. The sheriff
from Rockport and two men able to Iden
tify Blake will arrive In the city tomor

believe warrant them In believing that
Domkln and Blake are the same man.

M1WET1IER CASE IN COURT
Dj Spent in Hearing Argiments from
otk Sidis.
SECRETARY OF NAVY TO GIVE OUT VERDICT
Attorney Says that if Client la Con
Tlcted It Will Be na Vlrarloas
Sacrifice tor Sins of
Others.
ANNAPOLIS, Md.. Nov. 30.-Exeert for
the announcement of the verdict after It
shall have been passed upon by the secre
tary of the navy, the Meriwether court
martlnl. Insofar as the public is concerned,
Is at an end.
Today was almost wholly given over to
arguments of counsel before the court
which Is trying Midshipman Meriwether on
charges, the most serious of which Is man
slaughter. In connection with the death of
Midshipman James R. Branch, Jr., after a
fist fight In which he and Meriwether en
gaged. James M. Munroe and Lieutenant
Commander John K. Roblson (the latter
being handicapped by an attack of tnnslll
tis) spoke In defence of the accused and
Judge Advocate Maris and United States
District Attorney John C. Rose for the
prosecution. At the concluskin of the ad
dress of Mr. Rose the court was cleared
and consideration of the verdict begun.
At the beginning of the morning session
counsel for the defence suggested that the
case bo submitted without argument, but to
this the Judge advocate objected. James M.
Munroe, counsel for the accused, then asked
for an adjournment of the court until i
o'clock tomorrow afternoon, as the de
fence wished to prepare the case for argu
ment and also because his associate, Lieu
tenant Commander John K. Roblson,
though present, had a severe attack of
tonsolltls. The court acquiesced In this,
but counsel for the defence finally decided
that they would go on with the case.
Judge Advocate Marlx agreed to proceed,
though his associate. United States District
Attorney John C. Rose, was absent. Dur
ing the morning, however, Mr. Rose tele
graphed that he wished to be present, and
the court, after hearing the other counsel,
took a recess until 2:30 p. m. When Mr.
Rose appeared at the opening of the after
noon session, counsel for the defence made
a strenuous effort to prevent his being
heard by the court. Lieutenant Commander
Roblson stated that there had been an un
derstanding with the Judge advocate that
Mr. Rose did not Intend to speak. This was
repudiated by Judge Advocate Marlx. Lieu
tenant Commander Roblson then moved
that the court refuse to hear Mr. Rose,
claiming he had not been properly detailed
by the Navy department. The court de
cided against this claim.
Judge Monroe Opens.
Judge Monroe then opened the case for
the defense. His first line of argument
addressed Itself to the medical testimony
produced by the defense. This he said
was inconclusive except as to the fact that
none of them had ever seen Injuries such
as were received In this case from fist
blows, but all had seen Injuries from Im
pacts against hard substances as was tes
tified to, such as the deceased received In
the falls. He said that the court should
hold that the accused had no criminal
connection with the death of Branch.
"So far as the charge of manslaughter
Is concerned," Mr. Munroe said, "we will
rest the case there."
Mr. Monroe said further:
"If Meriwether Is convicted of anything
further tHan disorder, be will be made a
vicarious sacrifice for k system and for
the sins of generations If they be sins.
A condition has been hown In this case

which makes it Impossible that the accused
should have refrained from the fight.
"As to the second charge, which includes
the specifications of using provoking words
and assaulting, we find that officers having
charge of the Interior discipline of the
academy had a hazy Idea of the position
of fighting under these regulations. It was
clearly established that fights for personal
insults were not to be Investigate."
As to the charge of using provoking lan
guage toward Branch, counsel argued that
Meriwether had not gone to Branch's room
to provoke a fight, but merely to seek an
explanation of a condition that had become
Intolerable to him and which If not obvi
ated would have . driven him from the
academy.
"Twice Meriwether," he said, "had shown
the most generous spirit in refusing to hit
Branch when the rules allowed him to
strike and In offering to give up the fight
after having committed an unintentional
foul, and had shown the possession of the
very quality that made our Farragut and
Decatur and that could cause men to fol
low them Into the very Jawa of death.
No motive has been shown In this case as
the specifications allege. On the contrary,
his conduct has been generous.
"On the third charge, of disorder. In a
spirit of candor we must admit that these
acts were disorderly, but the accused has
had his punishment. The superintendent
said that, judging from precedent, dis
missal was too severe a penalty for that
offense. We ask the consideration of the
court."
Lieutenant Commander James K. Robin
son spoke with great difficulty on acoount
of an attack of tonsllltls. He said he was
delighted that the autopsy had been asked
and performed. It has made Meriwether
feel that he did not cause Brancn s aeain
and that was better than merely being
acquitted on the ground of reasonable
doubt. Lieutenant Commander Robinson
then read from "Tom Brown at Rugby.
about schoolboy fights, and appealed to
tho court to say If the principles did not
appear to them to be the right ones.
"He may have not oeen exactly ngot
from my standpoint," he said, "but tha
traditions of the academy and the position
of the academy authorities toward fUhtlng
were responsible for Meriwether's mis
taken Idea. I grant that fighting is wrong,
but there may have been a minor penalty
inflicted If Branch had lived, and tne ac
cused Is not responsible for his death."
The testimony shows that Branch had a
much better chance of living, he Mid, had
he been treated judiciously, first by his
companions and then by the surgeons to
whose hands he fell.
Marlx for Prosecution.
Judge Advocate Marlx opened for the
prosecution. He said
There is voluntary and Involuntary man

especially fine set of witnesses, particularly
slaughter, the latter being ine cnarge in
ce?t..7?,'sd8h''FhTsne Sian1;:!

came on the second time and told a story
that was contradicted by captain t.oivo
corcsses, and Midshipman Fitch, whom I
shall Impeach. All five of the doctors tes
tified clearly that death had resulted from
fist blows. Opposed to these was the tes
timony of only one medical witness. Dr.
Ames.
Dr. GlaiebrooK, in aenance or ine prac
tice of courtsmartlals. has been kept In
court and then put on the stand, and the
testimony should not De given mucn
weight.
Captain Marlx then called attention to
certain phases of the medical testimony
and argued that the great weight of evi
dence sustained the view of the officers
connected with the operation. The sights
of the oedoma, which had caused the
death, had disappeared when the autopsy
had been made, nineteen days after death.
As to the Falls.
If the evidence does show that death
was caused by clots and the clots came
from a (all and not fist blows 1 will join
in congratulating tiie accused and not ask
for conviction on the charge of man
slaughter. But have the falls been proved?
It is on this point I will Impeach the tes
timony of Midshipman Fitch. Before the
Board of Inquiry and on the stand the
first time Fitch said nothing about any
fall, but when the point' had arisen, Mid
shipman Fitch, who had refereed the tight,
gave evidence of falls during the light. I
think his evidence should be stricken out.
Fighting Is prohibited at the naval acad
emy and everyone knows It. They are
conducted In secret and this very light was
secret. For a set of young gemlumeu to
propose a brutal, beastly light is a fine
thing to acknowledge or to offer as an
excuse. A fist fight does not always show
real courage. The best fist tit liter might
be the meanest coward in battle. A prize
fighter Is not a hero. The evidence has
shown that Branch was not malicious,
though his "running" may have been spe
cially directed towards Meriwether to some
degree. It is the custom, I believe, for
certain miasnipmen to oirect tbeir atten
tion to certain lower class men. The acta
of Mr. Branch along this line were not
severe or unusual and do not constitute
any mitigations.
The judge advocate directed particular
attention to the incident on board the Hart
ford when Branch had reported Meri
wether for charges in connection with tak
ing fruit. ,

Jadvovalo said, "MsrlweLter bad not SJdj

The muscles of the body can be developed
by exercise until their strength has in

Nature has furnished us all with a perfect
set of organs, and If they are not abused
they will attend to the business required of
them. They need no abnormal strength.
There Is a limit to the weight a man can
lift, and there is also a limit to what the
stomach can do.
The cause of dyspepsia. Indigestion and
many similar diseases Is that the stomach
has been exercised too much and it Is tired
or worn out. Not exercise but rest Is what
It needs.
To take something Into the stomach that
will relieve It from its work for a short
time something to digest the food will
give it a rest and allow it time to regain
Its strength.
The proper aid to the digestive organs
Is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which cure
dyspepsia, indigestion, gas on the stomach
and bowels, heartburn, palpitation of the
heart and all stomach diseases.
Rest and invigoratlon Is what tha stom
ach gets when you use Stuart's Dyspepsia
