People Moat Be Brave.
A man or woman who Is worthy of the

end true In the highest sense of the term.
Hern use you have had superior advan

II i h of a thorough education which this
university arford. when you again mingle
with the world do not let that Impress
you with the haughty and unwarranted
feeling of superiority. Never cease to be

There are- some matters concerning our

probabilities of the future that it may Iw
well for u to consider. The natives of
this country, who were dwelling In peace,

cestors Unded upon our eastern shors.
have been driven from every valley and
mountain crest, until their race has beep
nearly annihilated. The Ethiopians, whose
ancestors were kidnaped on the coast of
Africa and sold Into slavery along the
Atlantic and gulf coasts, were subjected
to unrequited toll for more than J0O years
and nave now Increased to between g.oio.ono
nd 1,000,OW souls. . More than 8,wo,oon of
Malays are now held by the arbitrary
power of our government, with no Imme
diate prospect of relief or Independence.
The red man, the black man and the
brown man have had a hard time under
our civilisation. Whether this will hava
an-effect of changing our form of govern
ment from a pure democracy to a more
restricted liberty and centralised power
tl-e future alone can determine: In fact,
whether these different elements of our
great populntlon will continue aa homo
g?nmi n the future as In the "past is a

The only hope of salvation for this na

"When the Doctor says, "it's coffee, stop it if you
want to get well."
Oh dear, what a mean doctor, but then plain
facts are best to know, so we may cut ' out the
things that hurt. .
About 4 years ago a Cin. man went to Germany
for his health and to consult one of the famous
" physicians in Berlin. . ,
-JVlTUe Dr. found him a nervous wreck suffering
y from 'Wss of sleep and constipation and about 50
lbs. off his usual weight.
But let him tell his own experience:
' "The Dr. surprised me very much by asking at
once if I was a coffee drinker and on my telling him
-I used it two or three times a day he said 'It is pois
on to some persons'.
f "After carefully examining' me he told me tJiere
'- was nothing the matter with me whatever but what .
j . could be entirely cured in 30 days by letting coffee
j and other stimulants alone and dieting.
"So l put back home and wife got some Postum
J Food Coffee for me.
"The first trial didn't please me but we found it
.' hadn't been boiled enough. The next meal it was'
fine, , '
"I seemed to begin to get well at once and kept
it up until I gained back my 50 lbs.' and all the old
sick times from coffee left for good. Now, I am in
prime health, fine appetite, and sleep like a boy."

Wlanett a Candidate.
The somewhat stagnant pool of politics
wss stirred this morning by the projec
tion of Former Mayor Winnett as a can
didate for railroad commissioner. Win
nett Is a doctor by profession, with a lik
ing for politics and governmental ques
tions, and Is well enough fixed so that h
has practically retired from active prac
tice. His candidacy was announced In the
following statement:
In aaklng the endorsement of Ianeaster
count v for railroad commissioner, it Is
with the belief that this county Is. clearly
entitled to one of the three to be elected,
and In announcing mv candidacy, I desire
to emnhaalxe the belief that Nebraska
should align herself with the national pol- t
lev of President Roosevelt 8 outlined In
his rate regulation bill. I aspire to this !
office with a view of being of service in
my state and county, hut will not entr !
Into any unholy alliance to ontsin n, pn
ferrlng defeat to success by dlshonorablo
methods. All I ask Is that a delegation of
Itncaster county's representative clttiena
present her claims and mine to the sta.o
(onvention. In case of election my amul
tlon win be to deal fairly with all Inter
ested parties, not permitting myself to be
Influenced by dictation on the one hand or
pMbllc clamor on the other to do an
Injustice; believing that Justice and a
"square deal. seasoned wttn conser
atlsm. Is what the country needs a- tr'
time and are safe and sound grounds on
which to tread. H. J. WINNETT.
Refases a Pardon.
Although persistently Importuned :o
grant a pardon to Mary and Jennie Man
ning, two wayward Lincoln girls, serving
sentences in the county Jail for heaving a
brick through the sleeping room of the
police Judge, Governor Mickey this morn
ing announced that he would not Interfere?.
A formal hearing was granted. The basis
of the application was the unequal punish
ment accorded the girls and the man who
accompanied them when the brick episode
occurred. The latter turned state's evi
dence, and gave the officers information
that led to the arrest of Another friend of
the Mannings, Ellis, by name, on the
charge of arson. While the governor ex- j
pressed his Indignation over what lookel
to htm like favoritism, he said he would
not Interfere as long as the public pros
ecutor objected.

LINCOLN. Neb.. June 14.' t Special Trie
gram.) The investigation of the chsrges
against Hupcrlntendent A Id en and Assist
ant Nicholson of the Norfolk asylum was
concluded tonight after the examination of
over twenty witnesses t, nose testimony j
was marked by many contradictions. Pa- i
tlents and some attendants testified to
cruelties practiced on patients, while others j
denied these stories and testified to the
bad reputation of Julius Altsohulcr, a
former sttendsnt. who wss the star wit
ness for the state. A majority of the wit
nesses admitted there had been cruelties
practiced at various times.
All the members of the State Board of
rublle Ijinds and Buildings were In at
tendance with the exception of Governor
Mickey, who at the last minute decided
ntit to attend the hearing. He was repre
sented by John M. 8tewart. while ,Dr.
Nicholson was represented by Attorney
Doyle of Lincoln. Dr. Alden was repre
sented by Judge Robertson. Bert Mapes
and Attorney Tyler of Norfolk. Miner Ba
con of Lincoln was the reporter.
Julius Altschuler. formerly an attendant,
who told the most damaging story about
the management of the Institution, told of
the death of Shockley. which has already
been given wide publicity. Shockley. the
witness asserted, was beaten and kicked
by Attendants Wiles, Kills and Brlerly.
which later resulted In his death. He found
the mensln the bathroom, he said, beating
the patient. Arthur Pinney.a paroled pa
tient, corroborated this part of Altachu
ler's testimony.
Thomas Ralphs swore he saw Ellis strike
a patient. Joseph Merter testified he hd
seen attendants strike patients.
Roy Kowlettes. an 18-year-old boy, s:tid
Ellis had whipped him with a buggy whip
until his back was covered with welts.
Joseph A. Wiles, a supervisor, swor there
had been no cruel treatment of petlents.
X. R. Pool, an attendant, .swore to the
same thing as did Joseph Taylor, on at-t-ndant.
Attack Altaphaler'a Testimony.
A number of witnesses were put on the
stand and swore Altschuler had a bad
reputation for veracity i they swore he was
mentally weak, unreliable, an exagge-rttor,
a great talker and heavy drinker. The
witnesses were Jacob Ha urn. Dr. Alexander
P.ear, George FT: Chrlstoff, W. H. Blake
man, E. A. Bullock, C. E. Burnham and J.
W. Humphrey, all prominent business men
of Norfolk. Burnham said he had recom
mended Altschuler-for the place because
he felt sorry for him. He had been a
hard drinker and had null and In order
to help him along his friends had secured
him the place.
Dr. Aldcn testified that where com
plaints had confl to him of cruel treatment
ha had Investigated them, except in cases
where the informant had been let out of
the employ of the state, as was the case
with Altschuler. He said the trouble be
tween himself and Dr. Nicholson started
when he refused to allow Nicholson rooms
he wanted in the building. When asked
If he and Nicholson could get along to
gether If both were left In the Institution,
Dr. Alden said that was a matter for the
board to decide. Dr. Alden Introd'tced a
letter received from Governor' Mickey say
ing the Institution was being conducted
all right, written after the governor had
Investigated the Shockley death.
Defense Takes a Tarn.
At the evening session Dr. Nicholson filed
a statement with the board signed by
thirty attendants and employes saying he
was a competent assistant In the Institu
tion. The witness also swore he had seen
the boy, Roy Rowlette, and had not seen
that he had welts on his person from the
whippings he claimed to have received.
He saw the boy, he said, about once a day.
Steward Peters testified he had seen no
Evidence of friction between Dr. Alden
and Dr. Nicholson. Blair Goff, a former
attendant at the Institution, swore he had
never seen any of the attendants cruelly
treating an inmate of the Institution. It
became necessary at Umes, he said, to use
force to restrain the patients, but with one
exception he had not seen a patient struck.
He and Ellis, he said, used a towel which
they put around a patient s neck to hold
him while they placed him In restraint,
though he denied the patient had been at
all Injured, or If choked at all very little.
An attendant on one occasion struck a
patient because the latter would not do
soma work which he had been told to do In
the bathroom. The attendant, he said,
had been discharged shortly after the event.
While one attendant was trying to take
a patient Into a bath room two other
patients attacked the attendant. Goff said
ha went to the assistance of the first at
tendant, who, being released from one
patient, struck the other two In the face.
In answer to the charge of a patient that
the Inmates were compelled to undress
downstairs and then march upstairs to
bed. Supervisor Wiles testified this was.
done to keep the Inmates from taking
weapons to bed with them concealed in
their clothing with which they might com
mit suicide. This was done In all Insti
tutions of a like nature, he said. Dr.
Alden, upon being recalled to the stand,
discussing the letter Dr. Nicholson had
written to the governor, said the governor
had treated him unfairly, as had Dr.
Nicholson; that the governor had Nichol
son act aa a spy upon him. After leaving
tha stand he said the governor had asked
him to spy upon Steward Peters, and he
had refused.
At the request of Altschuler the board
met downtown tonight to give him a
ohance to introduce evidence to prove his
good character. Altschuler, however, fall
ing to find his witnesses, the board gava
him permission to mall affidavits to Lin
coln. Kearney Objects to Train Service.
KEARNEY, Neb., June 14. (Special. )
Protests on all sides are being heard on
account of the change made Sunday In
tha train schedule, and tha sentiment of
professional and business men and cltl
sena generally la that the change will be
far from a beneficial one f or Kearney.
"It will take about on mora slain at
Kearney to get It down to a flag station."
said a prominent cltlsen In speaking of ths
matter today. Others expressed ths same
sentiments, though In different ways. Ths
change will affect each and every on who
wishes to lesva the city for aoms of the
towns alone- the main line of the t'nlon

formerly, but perhaps no class of men
will fed tha change ao much as do tha
commercial travelers, ot wtiora many re
side in this city.
"By cutting out four trains you might
as well say five train every day," said
on of the business men. "It makes It al
most Impossible to leav the city now on
1ms you travel by night or want to tak a
freight train."
Frrni expressions heard In the placea of
business snd on the streets It appear that
few. If any. are willing to ride on the
freight trains, and those, who enjoy trav
eling at night appear to be no more numerous.

It takes elrilit days
to make Perfect Malt"-. TABST.
To trew the lest beer trie trewer must first have.malt
or huy perfect Malt, for trie malt is tjie goul of the beer.
Perfect malt is only maJc by the exclusive Pabst
eight-day method. This process is JoulJt the expense of
the usual four-day method of making malt. Four-day

Patst
Blue Ribbon Beer
because four-day malt is a forced and unnatural process
