' said he would not content the nomination

he had a majority. Caldwell blamea Gov

In Cass county and aaya he loat many

of Sheldon laat year. To Benator Norrla

HHeldoft and the convention laat year, Mr.
Caldwell aald:
from the raturna It appeara that all the
alata officers now serving; their flrat terms,
with one or two exceptions, made a bid
for Omaha's vote by throwing; their coun
ties to Clarke. I wish to give all honor
anil credit to Senator Norrls Brown, who
has more than repaid the efforta" which I
. put forth a year ago when 1 waa making
the tight for him.
I lost many a friend In Clay county on
oonunt of advocating Governor Sheldon's
nomination. I was never satisfied with
the deal I got In the state convention last
year, but have alwaya felt that 1 waa
sacrificed to make way for others. I ran
for railway commissioner thla year to see
whether a man who stood uncompromis
ingly for right principles would receive the
support of the people. You can see. that
I am more than satisfied with their verdict.
My campaign waa made on the Issue
Outlined In my circular to the voters,
namely, that I . stood for distance tariff.
Had It not been lor Mr. Wallace being In
tha race. I believe I would have got two
thirds of his vote and been easily elected.

So far as a contest Is concerned, I am
not hungry enough for the office to make

Caldwell will not be the democratic can

name of Caldwell on the democratic ticket,
anV neither will be put any name on the

by tha courts or by the advice of the at

thirty days after the order was Issued! Ia
the meantime the railroads would be en
titled to a hearing on the proposed rates,
when they would hare been given an oppor
tunity to be heard even a second time."
Senator Aldrlch, who framed tha com
mission' law. Is very much put out over
the action of Judge Munger and ha also
failed to see upon what grounds an Injunc
tion could Issue. "The commission law was
drawn with special reference to Injunction.
I had that In mind while I worked on the
bm and so did other members of the special
committee. No rate made by tha commis
sion could become effective until thirty
days after It Is promulgated, ami In the
meantime the railroads have a right to be
heard. But" In ; this Instance thty have
Jumped In and secured a restraining order
when the commission was merely Investi
gating the matter "of rates. After this hear
ing they would have been entitled to object
to any rate the commission might have
made."
Governor Sheldon has already expressed
himself on the matter and he expects to
hold up the hands of the commission aa
against the railroads at every turn of the
road, even to calling the legislature to
gether. ..
In his defense of the commission In the
Injunction suit Attorney General Thompson
will argue that the federal court has Just
as much right to enjoin the. legislature as It
hss to enjoin the commission In the making
of a rate. The commission, ha holds, has
Its authority delegated to It by the consti
tution Juat tha same as the legislature.
Disease lloldrege Matter.
Members of the State Railway commis
sion conferred with Attorney General
Thompson today regarding the advisability
of swearing to a complaint against George
W. Holdrege, general manager of the Bur
lington. The commission alleges that In
the pass list submitted by the Burlington
several names are omitted and that this
road has also failed to file a rate showing
the IS per cent reduction on certain com
modities. The commission and the attorney
general are not Just sure whether a com
plaint against Mr. Holdrege will stick. The
commission law provides that the books of
the railroad company shall ba -open to In
spection by the commission, but they are
now of the opinion that probably the of
fense complained of Is not an Infraction of
the law. However, the matter Is still un
der consideration. '

REPUBLICAN CITY,' Neb 'sept. 12.
(Speclal.) Yesterday, as the Burlington,
section gang was returning from Its day's
labor, the handcar wa sthrown violently
irom ine traca and upon Investigation It
was found that the rails had been tam
pered with. A little distance from where
the handcar was derailed they found pieces
of Iron and two-by-fours pounded down
against the rails, which would have
wrecked an engine had one come along be
fore It was discovered.
The men suspected two boys about 12 or
14 years old, who had passed them. The
section boss wired to Woodruff for the ar
rest of these boys, which waa done, and
they were brought here, where they said
they put quite a lot of trash on the rails,
but didn't suppose It would da any harm.
It was done In fun. The boys said they
came from Port . Collins, Colo,, and were
on tholr way to Norton, Kan. They re
fused to give their names. After promising
never to bother a railroad track again they
were freed.

away, LINCOLN, Sept. 11-The solitary bandit,
who yesterday robbed the Manley bank at
Manley, Neb., has eluded his pursuers.
The robber escaped from Manley on horse
back. He deserted the animal three miles
from town and sought concealment In a
corn field. Next hs stole a rig near Mur
dock and abandoned it a few miles from
Ashland. It Is supposed that hs escaped
to Omaha or Lincoln.
The report sent out that the robber of
the Manley bank is headed toward Omaha
receives little credence from the Omaha
police. No official notification has been
received by them to be on the lookout for
him, and It Is not considered likely that ha

NORTH PLATTE, Neb., Bept, 11 (Spe
cial.) It has now been definitely ascer
tained that the "E. W." ranch, consisting
of 7,000 acres, was not purchased by the
Burlington railroad at all. Instead the
Lincoln Development company, a new cor
poration Just organised, paid James W.
Payne 1126,000 for the tract. Mr. Payne has
Just sold practically all of his personal
property also to this new corporation. In
cluded In the personal property Is 967 cattle,
twelve horses and all farm machinery on
the ranch, and the consideration paid for
this property was between $.10,000 and HO.
000. Rumor Is that the division terminal and
shops of the Burlington when constructed
will be located at the proposed town of
Blgnell, about twelve miles east of Jehls
city, on the tract purchased by this cor
poration. It Is said the Burlington officials
feel very unkindly toward North Platte by
reason of the litigation over the Dillon
land, 10 acres of which the Burlington
thought they had purchased. It waa In
tended to use this 106 acres for tracks,
shops and other necessaries for a division
terminal. Borne of the Burlington officials
have announced that they hold North
Platte responsible for this litigation. The
suit Is brought, however, by Roy B. Tabor,
as trustee In bankruptcy, to recover the
land, sell ths same and use the proceeds
to satisfy the claims died against the bank
rupt's estate. Mr. Tabor lives In Chicago,
as also did George W. Stewart, who owned
the land at the time the adjudication In
bankruptcy was had against him. The best
posted people In this neighborhood are un
willing to believe that the Burlington will
treat North Platte In this fashion, because
North Platte Is the largest and most pros
perous city in the western half of Nebraska
and has a population now of about 6,000.

Scavenger Law la Gage County.
' BEATRICE, Neb., Sept. 12,-lSpecIal.)
County Treasurer Barnard haa furnished
some figures which show that the total
amount of taxes collected under the scav
enger sales was approximately $79,600. Of
this sum the city of Beatrice received
$36,SU0 and Beatrice school district $17,400.
Wymore city received $2,700 and the school
district of that place $2,000. The city of
Blue Springs was benefited to the amount
of $900 and the school district $700. From
this It appears that about $00,500 of the
total amount of $79,600 went to the three
largest towns In the county. The re
mainder of about $18,000 was collected from
the various villages and school districts
that had the delinquent habit, but not In
so advanced a stage. About 2,600 tracts
of land were sold In all, not Including those
which were bid In by the several ctles
and villages. Treasurer Barnard states
that the bringing In of considerable sums
of money was not the only benefit derived
from the scavenger tax sales. A large
amount c" property was put on a tax
paying basis which would still have been
on the delinquent list. A large amount of

GOOD BREAKFASTS
Start the Day Right.
Breakfast Is perhaps the most Important
raeal of the day. Europeans usually eat a
very light breakfast.
Many Americans have stomach trouble
because they eat too much or food of not
the right sort for the morning meal. An
Ideal breakfast Is a baked apple or some
other fruit, a dish of Grape-Nuts food with
little cream, soft boiled egg, slice of hard
crisp toast and a cup of Postum Food
Coffee.
Leave off all meat, hot biscuits, etc.
Grape-Nuts and Postum both furnish the
phosphate of potash together with other
food elements that go to make up brain and
nerve centers as well as muscle and tissue,
and both can be digested by the stomach
of an infant.
It is the part of wisdom nowadays to use
food especially selected for nourishment
fcnd that can be easily digested. Ten day's
trial of this breakfast and you will feel as
though you had "cleaned bouse."
The exhilaration of bounding health Is
worth a hundred times the small outlay of
time and care In arranging such a break
fast. A New Jersey woman says she formerly
breakfasted on chops, hot biscuits and
coffee. "After such a meal I would havs
severs pains and they would last sometimes
far Into the night." She finally deter
mined on a change In her diet, and had for
breakfast only Grape-Nuts food . with
cream, and Postum Food Coffee. She says:
In a very few days the intestinal trouble
all disappeared. I have regained my old
time weight, lost the irritability and ner
vousness, and life takes on a nsw aspect.
When I feel a little exhausted In ths
day I simply drop every tiling and stir a
spoonful of Grape-Nuts In a little cream or
bot milk, and In ten minutes I have re
gained my vigor and freahness."
Orape-Nuta food is best when served Just
as It comes from tha package without any
cooking whatever. Tha food has already
been cooked ten or twelve hours In ths
process of manufacturing It. When made
up Into puddings, plea and other desserts It
does not hurt It to be cooksd again, but
when served simply as a breakfast food It
should never be cooked. On the contrary,
Postum absolutely must be boiled fifteen
to twenty minutes before ths food value
and flavor can be brought out. "Tiere'j a
Reason."
OMAHA BIG BARLEY MARKET
Object to Be Accomplished bj Gate
City Malt Company.
BETS0N BUYS ALL HE CAN
Loeal Price la !ow Better Tha a
Tbat Paid ta Chicago or Mll
waakee for Thla Klad
of Grata.
That the Gate City Malt company will
eventually make Omaha a big barley mar
ket la the belief of members of the Omaha
Grain exchange.
President E. E. Bryson Is on the floor
of the exchange every morning at the j
cash trading hour, snapping up every car j
of barley offered. He Is searching the
Omaha elevators for old barley. He Is
wiling and writing to points In all parts
of Nebraska and western Iowa. He has
Instructed elevator managers at a number
of stations In southeastern South Dakota
to send him all the first-class barley they
can get.
The company, with a capacity of 1.000
bushels a day at Its South Omaha plant
and 500 bushels a day at Its old malting
house at Second and Pine streets, Omaha,
can use more barley than Is raised at pres
ent in the entire state of Nebraska. It Is
estimated that 1GO.0T0 bushels of the grain
were used In Nebraska In 1306 and the
records of the labor bureau show that
322,000 bushels were shipped out. The
malting plant will use SOO.000 bushels In
the next twelvemonth if It can get the
grain. As the yield this season Is sup
posed to be not any larger than this, and
as some of It Is not fit for malt, Mr.
Bryson has to search outsldo the state.
Price Better Than Other Towns.
The price of barley on the local ex
change has been running from 78 to 86
cents for the malting gTades, which Is a
little better than the Chicago and Mil
waukee prices when the freight Is added.
The new demand for the grain and the
good price that must be paid In competi
tion with Milwaukee will undoubtedly
make Omaha known as a market for
barley as well as for wheat, corn and oats.
Once the barley gets to coming In quan
tities, more malting plants will be erected,
say the local grain dealers, for there Is a
