IJNCOLN, Sept. 12. (Special. )-Accord-ln(
to a letter received by the attorn?
general from f. J. Nolas, one of the South
Omaha fire and police commtrstonert, the
ommlssloners of that city have never
adopted rules regulating saloons. The. at
torney general desired the rule of the
board before answering Governor Mckey's
question regarding the liability of the com
missloners for damages In cane they re
yoke th license of a saloon man for an
offense for which he has not been con
victed la courtl The South Omaha charter
gives the commissioners the right to adopt
rules, but this has never been done. The
letter of Commissioner Nolan Is as follows:
. W. T. Thompson, Deputy Attorney Gen
eral My Dear Sir: I have your letter of
September 1 asking for a copy of the or
dinances, rules and regulations of the
South Omaha Board of Fire and Police
Commissioners. In reply I wish to sdvlse
you that the board has never formally
adopted? any rules In writing. If you re
quire any Information on ordinances passed
by the city counr.lt I will be glad to send
you a compilation of them and copies of
any which may have been enacted subse
quent to the compilation.
Since becoming cognisant as to this phase
of. the sltaatlon the attorney general's of
fice has ' written to South. Omaha for a
copy of the city ordinances to discover
whether or not there Is anything In them
under which the-fire and police commls
' slon would be enabled to act. An opinion
Will be withheld until this data arrives.
"The board ' could . proceed, of course,
without rules," said Deputy Attorney Gen
eral J. B. Strode this morning, "but It Is
customary to adopt them, and In fairness
to the saloon -men they should know what to
expect f-om the fire and police authorities.
The Slocum law covers the matter of Sun
day closing and the city ordinances may do
the same. The commissioners could act
tinder either, but It Is the business of the
board to have a set of regulations and en
force them, after giving due notice."
Below are the provisions of the South
Omaha charter relating to the authority of
the fire, and .police board:
The Board, of Fire and Police commis
sioners may by Ordinance, llceni.e, 10
straln, regulate, or prohibit the selling or
sTlvlng away of malt, spirituous or vinous,
mixed r- fermented intoxicating liquors,
the license -not to extend beyond the
municipal year for which It may be
granted; and to determine the amount to
be paid for any such license, not less
than the minimum sum required by any
general, law upon, the. subject.
Any Person selling or rlvinr awav In
said city any liquor of the description
mentioned . in this seotlon without first
having complied with such regulations
and procured a llrense or permit theref'jr,
hall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor,
and on conviction thereof, shall be fined
in any. sum not more than $100 for crch
offense and be committed to the city Jail
until such Ones and costs are paid. Pro
vided, that any. permit issued to a drug
gist may be revoked bv the Board of Fire
and Police commissioners at pleasure.
And 'further- nmvldefl. that anv license
issued by the Boatd of , Fire and Police com
missioners ror any purpose mentioned in
this section shall be revoked bv the Board
of Fire and Police commissioners upon
conviction of the licensee or any violation
of anyi law, ; ordinance or regulation per
taining" to the sale of such liquors, and
proceedings In appeal or error taken to
review such judgment or conviction shall
In, no w)se effect the, revocation of such
license or the affect of such conviction
until such appellate 6r error proceedings
be finally determined and such conviction
be Anally annulled, revoked or reversed.'
, legislative Session qossl p. .
A scar was 'started at the state house
today by the 'report that the legislature
would not. convene until after the state
officers have gone out of office, which
would prevent the secretary of state from
calling the house of representatives to
order and the- outgoing governor from
delivering his message. The constitution
provides against such a contingency. The
legislature must convene at noon, the first
Tuesday In January, which, this year will
be New Teal's flay. The term of state
officers expires the first Thursday after
the first Tuesday.
Regents Want the Money.
According to. the argument of the regents
of the University there Is no need of the
legislature appropriating money given by
the government for the support of that
Institution. At , least $100,000 annually is
formally appropf lated by the legislature
from this source. In a mandamus suit to
compel Auditor Searle to Issue a warrant
to enable the regents to draw a gift of
$6,000 from "the general government, the
position Is taken by the regents that the
money! In aueetlon. Is a gift for educational
purposes, that the university Is suthorlsed
to accept such gifts, and no further action
of the legislature is necessary. It Is
alleged by the regents that an appro
priation by the legislature Is necessary
only In the matter of funds raised by
taxation, and that ths provisions of the
law regarding, such matters do not apple
to gifts fdr educational purposes to the
university. In accenting the $5,000 gift In

question It Is said - the state treasurer
merely acts as trustee for the university.
Subsequent to all the decision of the
supreme court, relating to university funds,
the legislature of 1S90 passed an act ex
preaely, directing; the resents to apply gifts
to the purposes Specified by the donor. If
the argument of the regents Is good, the
money in dispute must be turned over to
the regents without an act of the legis
lature or the funds will be lost to the
university. State Auditor Searle Is of the
opinion that the act of 1899, directing the
regents to apply such funds without a
specific act of the legislature Is uncon
stitutional. ' ' " Ru.hvllle Rifles Is Canv..

Game Warden Mnst Keep Off.
Game Warden Carter, who has been try
ing to enforce the state game laws on the
Fort Niobrara military reservation, has
received the following letter from the sec
retary at Washington:
Dear Sir: Referring to your letter of
August IB, In which you make inquiry. In
effect, as to whether the fish and game
luws of the suite of Nebraska are op
erative on the military reservation at Fort
Niobrara, and whether you and your
deputies are or are not subject to eject
ment from that reservation as Intruders If
you attempt to enforce observance of the
state fish and irame laws thereon. I have
the honor to advise you that the Judge ad
vocate general of the army, after dls
cueeing the lngal features of the case,
which was referred to him for con
sideration, reports a fnltowe:
"1 am. therefore; of the opinion that the
fish and gunie laws of- the state of Ne
braska are not, operative on Ilia military
reservation of Fort Klahrara; and it Is
suggested that the -chief game warden of
the atnte be so adviwed. If' after such
notification, the attempt Is made to execute
the game laws within the limits of the
military reservation, the warden or other
onVer attempting such enforcement should
be nrderod to dlft, for the reasons above
stated, and. If he persist In such attempted
execution, he msy be removed from the
reservation.'' . .
Thee views of the Judge advocate gen

Food Problem
Undo 3am's Investigators Make
Soma Important Observation.
The United States Department of Ag
riculture has learned much about food by
Its Investigations throughout the past half
century or more. A report recently pub
lished by the department 'is especially wel
come at this time because of the wide
spread public Interest In the composition
and value of food. Knowing our readers
are awake to the Importance of this sub
ject,' we quote one paragraph of the gov
ernment's report which speaks vividly of
the uses of food:
'Blood and muscle, bone and tendon,
brain and nerve all the organs and tissues
of the body are built from the nutritive
Ingredients of food. With every motion of
the body, and with the exercise of fueling
and thought as well, material Is consumed
and must be reaupplied by food. The chief
uses of food, then, are two: (1) ' To form
the malu Sal of the body and repair its
wastes, and (2) to furnish muscular and
other power for the work It has to do."
Read over that last sentence about the
chief uses of food and you will understand
mors readily why physicians,, scientists and
other authorities on the value of foods say
Malta-Vita builds up the body, repairs Its
waste and yields muscular and other power
to the greatest extent. This is because
Malta-Vita Is the whole of the best white
wheat, steamed and .cooked, then mixed
with pure barley malt extract, rolled Into
little wafer flakes and thoroughly baked.
The' malt extract, a powerful digestive
agent, converts the -starch of tha wheat
Into n-.altose, or malt sugar, which phy
sicians recommend because It is , . so
strengthening. Malta-Vita supplies the
body with every food element required to
build blood and muscle, bone and tendon.
brain and nerve, and It is easy to digest.
'Malta-Vita Is delicious to the taste, al.
ways crisp and appetising. Served with
cream or milk or fresh fruit It makes the
Ideal breakfast.' People who know bow
good to eat and how nourishing Malta-Vita
is wouldn't tr to get along without lit.
All grocers sell MaJta-Vita, tt cents a
package.
First: From the high quality of our Malt, and the
process of preparing same.
Second: From the process of brewing, used exclusively in
our brewery. Our own process, perfected by experience.
Third: From the supe:-r and exclusive quality of our yeast.
You may not understand all that we say
here, but if you will order a bottle
of "High Life' Beer and drink it, you will
very quickly perceive that the Individ

INDIGNATION
OVER
WILLIAMS
Cherry Coanty Republicans Tblak
Candidate Should 0.nit.
WEST POINT. Neb.. Sept. 12. (Spe
cial.) Considerable ' Indignation Is oelng
expressed by leading members of the local
republican party of Cuming county at
the actions of J. A. Williams of Pierce,
candidate for railway commissioner at
the republican state convention. Some
of the delegates from this county upon
their return, stated publicly that Mr.
Williams had violated his pledges, made
to tbem while enroute to Lincoln. The
consensus of opinion here seems to be
that the republican state central commit
tee ought to demand the resignation of
Mr. Williams from the state ticket, as
the retention of his name will have a
decided tendency to materially hurt and
weaken an otherwise Irreproachablo
ticket. The party. In the opinion of our
citizens, cannot afford to carry, anything
which It cannot Justify or against which
there la the slightest taint of treachery
or double dealing.
