LINCOLN. .Tan. 31. tSprclal. ) "If any of
ry appointees have accepted passes from
any railroad company tho action Is con
trary to my wishes anil Ik not consistent
with the views of this alinlnlKtratin or
tho sentiment expressed liy the last re
publican state convention. "
Thus dirt .Governor Mickey deliver him
self this morning In discussing the pass
question and Governor Dcncen's recent
onlcr to prohibit appointor from riding on
passes.
"I havo never told any of my appointors
pot to acrept transportation and neither
liuve.I told them to take transportation.
I refused to request that the deputy oil In
apecto'rs be given annual pauses and the
railroads did not tender them. 1 Instructed
the deputies to buy mileage books and pre
pent the bill to the state as expenses.
"When the republican state convention
went on record as being oprosed to the ac
ceptance of passes that resolution applied
to the employes of the state as well as to
the state officers. It Included, In my Judg
ment, every republlran holding a position
In the state house. In view of that resolu
tion and in view of the action of the state
officers In returning their passes I did not
think It necessary for me to Instruct my
appointees to return their annuals and I
did- not. The matter is entirely In the
hands ol the Individuals and If any of my
appointees desire to keep their annuals,
then I will not say a word, but It is not
my wish that they ride on transportation
furnished free by a railroad. It Is contrary
to the republican state convention plat
form and It is not consistent with my
Views In tho matter."
In view of the fact that the governor's
ppolntees retained their passes even after
their chief had returned his annuals and
after he had given publicity to his views
In the matter It is not considered probable
that a grand rush will be made by his ap
pointees to get rid of their pasteboards. It
Was the general opinion that the deputy oil
Inspectors were still riding on passes and
the governor's statement this morning will
be news to the republicans of the state.
The bank examiners, the food commis
sioner, the head and clerk of the labor de
partment, the heads of state Institutions,
the game warden and the various deputies
round the state house still ride free of
Charge on annuals.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
!. People Know How I aefnl It Is la
I'resertlna Health and Draatr.
Nearly ever) body knows that charcoal Is
the safest and most efficient disinfectant
and purifier In nature, but few realise Its
value taken Into the human sstem for th-
same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you
take rif it the better; It Is not a drug at all,
but simply absorbs the gases and Im
purities always present In the stomach and
Intestines and carries them out of tho
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok
ing, drinking or after eating onions and
other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectunlly clears and Improves
the complexion, it whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
11 absorbs Injurious gases which collect
In the stomach and bowels; It disinfects the
mouth and throat from tho poison of
catarrh.
All drtiRglsts sell charcoal In one form or
another, but probably the best charcoal
and the most for the money Is In Stuart's
Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of
the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and
other harmless antiseptics In tablet form
or rather In the form of large, pleasant
tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The dally use of these lozenges will soon
tell In a much Improved condition of the
general health, better complexion, sweeter
breath and purer blood, and the beauty of
It Is, that no possible harm can result from
their continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician In speaking of the
beneflis of charcoal aays: "I advise Stuart's
Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering
from gas In stomach and bowels, and to
clear the complexion and purify the breath,
mouth and throat; I also believe the liver
is greatly benelted by the dally use of
them: they cc t but 15 cents a bo at drug
stores, and although In some sense a patent
preparation, yet I believe I get more and
better charcoal In Stuart's Charcoal
Lozenges than In any of the ordinary char
coal tablets."
city and until his return no date will b
set for tho hearing on the protests.
Attorney Oeneral Hrown said: "I have
received a copy of the protests but I have
not carefully studied It and will not do
anything until Mr. Scarlc comes back and
I tlnd what he is going to do. Our anti
trust law, the Junkln act, Is now tied up
in the supreme court, and until we learn
whether this act Is constitutional or not. It
would do no good to start any more Bulls
under it. But If the evidence which will
be brought out at the hearing before the
auditor shows there Is a combination
among the fire insurance companies then
thla department will stop It. We will pro
ceed against the companies and prosecute
them."
Pardon Sought for Hlte.
Rev. E. Comble Smith of Omaha has
asked Governor Mickey to release Peter
Y. Hlte from the state penitentiary. Young
I lite was sentenced by Judge Day for one
year on December 22, on a charge of break
ing Into a saloon and stealing some cigars.
At the time he pleaded guilty with the
understanding that he was to be given a
jail sentence. Rev. Mr. Smith brought to
Governor Mickey a statement from Judge
Day that he sent the boy to the peniten
tiary because he understood that he had
previously been In trouble. The judge
recommended clemency, as did Chief of
Police Donahue. Young Hite was a south
ern boy and upon his arrival In Omaha
became destitute and desperate and broke
Into the saloon. Governor Mickey has
taken the matter under advisement and
will shortly call on the boy at the peni
tentiary. .
Beautifying School Grounds.
Deputy State Superintendent Bishop has
organized a atudent's improvement club in
the public 'school at College View, the ob
ject of which Is to beautify the school
grounds and to give the pupils of the school
an opportunity to atudy agriculture. The
school grounds will be laid off and flowers
and trees planted and walks laid. During
the summer the pupils will raise a garden
on a part of the grounds. All of the work
will be done by the pupils.
Governor Mickey last night attended the
revival meeting at Normal and made a talk
to the congregation. The meeting Is being
conducted by Rev. Mr. Campbell, a rela
tive of the governor, and much interest Is
being manifested.

Mining Excitement Growing-.
FALLS CITY, Neb., Jan. 31. (Special )
The southeast corner of Richardson county

cured the mineral leases on some land
near Salem. The Indications fo. paying
mines in this district are very good and
work is being started on a working shaft
at the leases east of town. The field that
will be opened up in Richardson county
if the Indications are what they seem to
be, will be as valuable and as large, if not
larger, than the Joplin field. There are a

speak well for the future of the Falls City
field.

RIGHT NOURISHMENT.
We think of nourishment
as food meats, soups, vege
tables, etc, but that's only half.
It's not the food alone that
counts but the good that we
get from food that furnishes
nourishment. A pound of
steak is of less value to a
weak stomach than a crust of
bread is to a strong digestion.
But weak stomachs can be
made strong. Begin by eat
ing less; have regular hours
for meals; avoid fancy things
and about a half hour after
eating take a tablespoonful of
Scott's Emulsion. It's a fact
of medical history that people
have lived on not much else
but Scott's Emulsion for a
long time not only lived but
gained flesh and recovered
their strength and health.
From the pure Norwegian
cod liver oil to the last drop
of glycerine, Scott's Emulsion
contains just the strength
giving and health-building
elements needed for low vital
ity, weak digestion and poorly
nourished bodies.

A. G. Beeson, head ot the Nebraska In

a fire Insurance trust or that rates In the
state are from 30 to 40 per cent higher
than are Just. Mr. Beeson has conducted
the bureau for about six years, maintain
ing an agency In Lincoln, as stated by the
protest filed with tha auditor of state. He
says:
"As far as we know, we are not violating
any law In any way. The Nebraska In
spection bureau Is not in combination with
any one. We are simply running an office
and giving out information, which we sell
to any one who w.nls to buy It. The
efflce Is not conducted by the insurance
companies and there Is no compact or
agreement that they shall adhere to our
rates. If there is any law- in the state of
Nebraska we are violating I do not know
what It is.

out as subjects of the protest are the lead

Still he gives it no heed, and possibly

the law the proper course against them
would be to bring suit In the courts. I do
not believe tho auditor can refuse to Issue
a license unless it can be shown the laws
are violated."
Mr. Beeson was asked If It were true
that 'Wing to the trust it is impossible
for anyone to get insurance below the rates
these men fix." He replied this was a point
that would have to be proven, as was the
charge that Nebraska fire Insurance rates
are from 30 to 40 per cent higher than they
should be.
Local insurance men are of the opinion
that the bureau Is operated In such a way

laws, whatever may be the real status of
Its acts.
