A Coffee Fact!!
Many Highly Organized People
Art Definitely and Distinctly
Diseased by Coffee
Not with all people, but many, particularly those
highly organized brain workers and their kind the
alkaloid caffeine contained in ordinary coffee, has a
direct action upon the delicate nerves of the stomach, and
by a pathological law the nervous system is gradually
and surely affected.
The result will show in, a variety of ways, such as
headaches and bowel or kidney trouble in some people;
in others, smothering sensations about the heart, dys
pepsia, etc., and in many the power of the brain is im
paired. Different people will be affected differently, but
common sense should teach that if you have any disease
or symptoms of disease you should endeavor to locate
the source and cause.
It's useless to take medicine and at the same time
continue the use of 6ome injurious article of food or
drink that not only caused the disease but continues it
from day to day.
Leaving off coffee takes away the cause and the
natural food elements obtained by long boiling of
Posfoinv Food Coffee
go instantly to replenish and rebuild the delicate gray
matter in the nerve center; throughout the body.
Mental poise and sturdy physical health can be
turned into wealth, fame and happiness.

Karnes of Men Who Are te Paas on
Testimony of Tekamah Trial.
TEKAMAH, Neb., May 16.-(Speclal Tel
egram.) A Jury in the Bundy murder trial
was secured at 10 o'clock this morning,
consisting of the following persons: L.
H. Deman, farmer; C. P. Frlls, butcher;
William Miller, farmer; Roy Ireland,
farmer; J. C. Connelly, farmer; Clyde
Grothe, farmer; Fred Classen, farmer;
Earner Llndahl, merchant; O. E. Crannell,
farmer; Charles Gylfe, farmer; John Mil
iar, farmer; R. B. Hume, farmer.
The first witness called was Frank Dar
ling. He said that ho was at the Austin
home on the morning of April 4, the day of
the shooting. Mr, AuBtin came in from the
field. Mr. Austin immediately came out of
the barn without saying a word to any
one, so far as the witness knew, went
down the road to the Hundy place. 'In
the meantime Thomas Gregg came out of
the barn and both he and the witness hur
ried over to Bundy's. Before they arrived
there they saw the two men facing each
other and one of them was wielding a club.
Witness said It was Bundy. When he
got over to Bundy's, Austin had Bundy
down and was pounding him. Witness
said that he and Gregg both took hold of
Austin and raised him up, . but Just how
f.r he could not say; however, he said
they raised him high enough so the de
fendant could turn over. It was at this
time that the two shots were fired.
Gregg testified practically the same as
Darling.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, May 18 (Special.) The State
Railway commission will not deviate the
thinnest part of a hair space from the
Aldrlch maximum freight rate law, and
therefore the railroads cannot collect 1
cent when the new rate under that law
ends In a fraction of thrc-fourths of a
cent and neither can they drop the fraction
when the new rate ends In less than a
half cent. The railroads were notified of
this today In the following circular sent
to all of them In answer to an Inquiry:
We have considered the request that. In
revising your tariffs In compliance with the
Aldrlch bill, which reduces rates In eff?ct
January 1, 1907, 15 per cent on certain com
modities, same to take effect July 8. 19U7,
you be permitted where the application of
the 16 per cent reduction leaves a fraction
less than one-fourth of a cent to drop
the fraction; where the reduction leaves a
fraction between one-fourth and three
quarters of a cent, lncluaive, to count It
aa one-half: that where the reduction leaves
a fraction of over three-quarters of a cent
count it as l cent; ana nure to say we can
not grant It.
Under the construction of the law ns
given us by the attorney general, under
date of May It, 19u7, a copy of which has
been mailed to you or your company, we
must hold that were we to grant your re
quest in certain Instances It would amount
to fixing a higher rate than that prescribed
by senate file 826 and would therefore be
superseded by that law when it becomes
effective, July 8 of this year. Other action
than the above on our part mlKht result
in legal complications, which we are de
slroua of avoiding.
ftraln Company Protests.
The Updike Grain company of Omaha has
written to the State Board of Assessment
objecting to the method adopted by County
Assessor Miller of Lancaster county for
the assessment of Its grain elevators In
this county. Mr. Miller not only assesses
on the average capital stock Invested for
the preceding year, but also Includes the
value of the grain on hand April 1. The
Updike company desires the board to In
struct Mr. Miller to assess only the average
capital Invested. The latter Is the plan
adopted by the board last year and this
year and held to be valid by the supreme
court, but It Is not likely that the board
will Interfere with Mr. Miller If he elects
to operate under another method.
Assessment Board Takes Recesa.
The State Board of Assessment has taken
a recess until Saturday morning, at which
time any taxpayer or other person In the
state who can add anything which will
assist the board In arriving at the value
of railroad property In Nebraska Is In
vited to be present and say his say. The
board doesn't expect any of the railroad
men to have anything further to say,
though all of them will be on hand next
Saturday. It Is expected the work will be
done soma time early In the week.
Allen Takes Chares Wednesday.
Deputy Oil Inspector A. B. Allen, who
was appointed yesterday to succeed Edward
A. Church, will ' take charge of his new
office next Wednesday, at which time ths
newly appointed deputies will also be on
hand, and the formal transfer of the vari
ous offices will take place. Lancaster
c'ounty politicians, or some of them, had
set their hearts on the oil office, and today
downtown there are bitter tears of dis
appointment being shed, though those who
arc not In politics for office do not . seem
to be worrying any,

nnutv Attorney General Martin saved
the Board of Public Lands and Buildings
considerable embarrassment this afternoon
and the Home for the Friendless the lots
which the legislature appropriated $02,600
to purchase. The bill did not carry the
emergency clause and therefore the money

In the meantime the owners of the prop
erty were figuring on selling the lots to
speculators unless the state paid the cash
or Interest. Mr. Martin agreed to give his
personal check fnr the $1,K, which will
pay for the present purchase, and permit
the state to pay him In July.
