LINCOLN. March . (BpectaL) It turns
I eut that tba craft by which the Douglas
county sheriffs have bean unlawfully en
1 rlchlng themselves out of tha atata treaa
vUiry Includes not only padded bllla (or feed-
i ng prlaonara after sentence and mileage
charges for trlpa traveled on free passes,
but also that thejr bare been making; fraud
I nlent claims for hack hire when they never
Deed hacka at all.
In the claim filed with the legislature
by Sheriff McDonald of Douglaa county, a
i sample of which was published In Tha Bee
last week together with an exhibit of the
amounts asked and tha amounts cut out by
tha auditor and tha claims committee, tha
Items for hack hire were entirely over
looked. A hunch from a party who ought
to know prompted hn Inquiry as to how
many prisoners brought down to the atate
J penitentiary by Sheriff McDonald were
1 really conveyed In a hack or were taken
down by foot or In the street car.
The Bee correspondent went out to the
j penitentiary and Interviewed personally a
I large number of the prlaonera there sen
Itenoed from Douglaa county and according
, to their own stories a majority of them
I were taken from the county jail In Omaha
to the depot In street cars, while a few
walked, but In every Instance whether the
I prisoner rode In a street car for t cents
or whether he walked, the Douglaa county
sheriff has charged up 1 to the atate for
alleged hack hire. Every one of the claims
died by Sheriff McDonald with these fraud
ulent Items for hacks are subscribed and
worn to over hla own name, but this oath
does not seem to have been conclusive.
Wot the Prisoners Ray.
Of the seventy some odd prisoners who
were brought to tha penitentiary from
Douglas county during 1(06. forty-four of
them were Interviewed and each waa posi
tive In hla statement as to how he was
taken to the depot from the Douglas county
Jail. Twenty-one said they had been
placed on street ears and taken down;
three said they had walked and twenty
aid they had been taken down In hacka.
t ' Sheriff McDonald made the sworn state-
tnent that each one of the forty-four pris
oners named In the table below had been
taken to the Omaha depot from the county
Jail In a. hack, and for eachon of them
he charged up 1 to tha atate to pay the
hack fare. All of the prlsonera declared

It Is up to the legislature now to use the

claims. ' '
Hearing; on Tncker Bill.
The house committee on fees and sal
aries tonight listened to a. discussion of
the Tucker bill to cut, out the graft for
feeding prisoners In county Jails. Victor
Rosewater explained the bill In place of
Tucker, who Introduced It, and he showed
by statistics that during, the- 0rst six
months of the present sheriffs term 14,
000 meals had been served at a cost of
nearly $7,000, but since then no report
had been made by the sheriff. During this
time state prisoners had been fed for
seventy-five cents a day and last year the
revenue from feeding federal prlaonera
had amounted to tl.COO. Mr. Rosewater
Insisted fully forty ' per- cent- would be
saved the county and atate If the feeding
contract were let to the- lowest bidder. '
Sheriff McDonald artd Office Deputy
Steere tried to save the situation by
telling what a great responsibility rested
on the sheriff to select the proper food
and how generous he was to the sick pris.
oners and particularly how dangerous It
would be to have food furnished by out
side contract on which the sheriff gets no
rake off. The committee took the bill un-
der advlsment and the indications are It
will be reported back with a recommends-
tlon that It pass.

FOOD P0IS011S
90 Per Cent of AH IMsease the Result
of Undigested Putrefying Foods.
Men of affairs, women of society and
children with active brains are too often
sedentary In their habits, giving little time
to exercise. To this evil Is added that of
high and Irregular living at a result, the
stomach cannot stand the demands made
upon it. The abused and overtaxed stom
ach does not properly do the work of di
gestion, food taken In ferments and the
poison permeates the whole system. The
body loses In weight and becomes a prey
for the attack of whatever disease It may
encounter.
Did It ever occur to you how busy that
stomach of your isT It only holds three
pints, but let one year you force It to take
In 2,400 pounds of material, digest It and
prepare It for assimilation Into the blood.
No wonder It rebels when overworked. We
crowd It with steaks and pastry. Irritate Ha
Juices with spices and acids, and expect the
stomach to do Its work. It can t do It.
All over the Inner layer of the stomach
are glands which secrete the Juices neces
sary to digestion. The entrance of food
Into the atomach la the signal for these
glands to do their work.' The more the
food, and the more indigestible, the greater
the demand upon them and upon the mus
cles of the wall adjoining.
Think of the tons of high seasoned game,
sweetmeats and appetisers crammed Into
.this little four-ounce mill, and then won
der. If you will,- why you are 'dlssy or
nauseated or constipated. Don't blame your
stomach or curse your fate that you should
be born so unfortunate. Blame yourself
and apply the remedy.
First, get a smal package of Stuart's Dy
spepsia Tablets, taking one after each
meal and at bed time. They are not a
medicine, but a digestive. Your stomach
Is worn out and needs help, not medicine.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do the
work that the stomach falls to do. There's
enough power In one grain of Stuart's Dy
spepsia Tablets to . digest 8,000 grains of
ordinary food, so you needn't fear that
anything you eat will remain In your stom
ach undigested.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets wll rout the
poison because they remove the . cause
food fermentation. They are nature's ewn
cure for dyspepsia. The host of troubles
dyspepsia Is the father of cannot be num
bered, for a healthy stomach Is tha source
of all health.
Slese your opportunity before worse con
ditions confront you. Send today for a

Tableta. They will bring your stomach re
