Meeting of, Iterkmts.
K.'M. Bearle, Jr.. secretary of the Ne
braska Stock Growers' association, will
Issue a call shortly for a meeting of all
stockmen to be held at Alliance. January
81. This call Is In accord with the decision
of the stockmen who recently held a meet
ing at South Omaha for the purpose of
discussing quarantine. The general govern
ment refused to Inspect cattle sold locally
and the state has no appropriation to pay
for the Inspection' and dipping of cattle.
This meeting Is for the purpose of getting
the individual stock grower interested to
the extent that he will clean up his own
cattle. It is said Nebraska is behind Colo
rado. Wyoming and South Dakota in the
mailer ot Clean caiuv nt iui men. .
at the coming mftlng It will be urged that
growers dip their own cattle, making the
preparations during the corning aprlng
months. The health officers from these
states who have superintended the clean
ing up In their respective states will be
at the meeting and tell what was done
by. them. i
In dlseueslng the, report that many hogs
in Nebraska are dying of cholera. Dr. A.
T. Peters said he Inspected three herds
the first of the week snd the deaths In
these were nbt.due to choVera. but to In.
judicious feeding. . Many feeders, he said,
ore giving their stock patent medicines
which have' no good effect In many In
stancea. On men was feeding a high
priced stock ,oc.ijr',.hlch contained only
Miflilgan salt'ecifoYe.d with ochre, but the
f Amcr wouldn't .believe It.
W Probable $kkra3 la Guard.
Adjutant General Schwarz 1b preparing to
Send out an order to the members of the
Xattonal Guard In which he will tell them
what degree ft efficiency Is to be reached
in order to save the national aid to the
state. He Is thinking also of offering to
each member of the guard 15 cents a week
for the drill, as an inducement to get the
members to take some Interest in the work.
This will cost the state in the neighbor
hood ot IH.000 a year, but the adjutant gen
eral believes the result will justify the ex
penditure. Incidentally there Is liable to be
a general shaking up of the guard in the
coming months In which a number of com
panies may be mustered out of the service,
letters' coming to the state house Indicate
the men high up In the guard pay little at
tention ? military requirements in making
up reports and In a few Instances officers
have actually written sarcastic letters to
the adjutant. Among the reasons assigned
for the poor condition of the guard Is the
election of Inefficient officers In many In
stances; that the private get no pay ex
cept When In camp; the cost of rent for
armories, which has to be paid largely by
the members of the guard. At this time
the government Is paying about two-thirds
of the r.xpense of the guard and unless the
required efficiency Is reached by January
this aid will be discontinued.
Prosecattna af Packer.
County Attorney English having failed
to show a disposition to file complaints
against the packing houses at the request
of State Food Commissioner Johnson, the
complaints will be filed by County Attor
ney Tyrrell of Lancaster county. This, Mr.
Johnson decided upon this' afternoon after
waiting for about two weeks for English
to get busy. On September 26 Johnson
wrote English that the packing houses In
Omaha were selling meat packages not
stamped properly with the net weight and
therefore the law was being violated. To
get the evidence, he cited the county at
torney to any market in Omaha where
meat Is sold. In reply, English Informed
the commissioner It was necessary for the
county attorney to have the names of
the defendants; the Instances where the
law was being violated and other specific
information. He concluded his letter by
asking If the attorney general had ever
given an opinion as to the legality of that
portion of the pure food law. Inasmuch
as Johnson had furnished the county at,
torney with enough evidence upon which
to base a complaint, he concluded any
farther correspondence on the subject with
the official would be a waste of time so
did not reply to his letter, especially as
he understood the packing houses would
not deny the charge.
The packing house at Nebraska City has
notified the food commissioner that it will
obey the law In the matter of stamping
its packages.

Labor Commissioner Make Address
n Child Labor Before
Women's Clab.
HASTINGS. Neb.. Oct 10.-(Speclal.)
Labor Commissioner J. J. Ryder spoke to
the Woman's club meeting this afternoon.
Ho said that In round numbers there are
probably 2.000 manufacturing establish
ments In Nebraska today. To count the
stores and other places named ln the law
would greatly Increase the number of work
ing places to be considered. It Is a con
servative estimate to say that 50 per cent
of all the working places are concerned
with the question of child labor, at least
to some extent St'.ll, In face - of - theae
facts, the law provides only for a volun
teer board of five Inspectors. They are not
even allowed street car fare, nor Is any
provision made even for stationery.
Estimates based on United States census
figures indicate that of the almost 80,000
male children In the state between 10 and
15 years of aga 17.5 per cent are, or were,
employed ln variom occupations. This per
centage means, roughly, l'3,5oO boys at work.
In round numbers the female children be
tween 10 and 15 year may be set down as
75.01X1, and It la e;ernally to the credit of
Nebraska tliut of this army of possible
future mothers oily 3.8 per cent were, at
tho last census returns available, engaged
in work for bread. Then, counting messen
gers and newsbots, delivery boys and simi
lar scattered groups, there will be about
20,i00 children who can properly be called
breadwinners. The number of complaints
of actual or deliberate evasion of the law
is very small to date. There Is a finer
spirit among employers than a mere fear
of the law. If they were setting them
selves to vex and defeat ua, our forces are
utterly Inadequate to cope with them, but
they are not. Nebraska employers are, ln
large measure, helping us to close the door
on danger.

Milk Man Files a
Complaint.
(Prom a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Oct. 10. (Special Telegram.)
Attorney Paul Plxey of Dakota City, who
acted ln the case brovght by democrats of
Dakota county seeking to enforce the right
to fill vacancies on the psrty ticket left
blank at the primary, has written to the
clerk of the court here asking If a similar
case Is not now pending before the su
premo court. The Dakota county case was
decided by Judge Welch In favor of the
democrats, the court holding they have the
right to fill vacancies and give new candi
dates party endorsement. Attorney Plzey
was seeking Information before deciding
whether to take the case up.
There Is no similar case In supreme court
and if the test of the law on this point Is
to be made this fall, It must come ln the
Dakota county action. Attorney General
Thompson Insists that his opinion that va
cancies cannot be filled except by candi
dates running by petition, Is correct. He Is
sustained In this by a recent decision of
the Minnesota aupreme court. He holds
the primary Is not In the nature of a gen
eral election, but Is a big family aflatr
among the members of each party. Reg
ulations that have been governing the elec
tions have no force with the primary ex
cept as the law specifically provides them.
In this case, where a vacancy exists after
the primary, it Is supposed the party had
knowledge of the matter and was satisfied
to permit the condition.
Report of t'nlon Pacific.
The Union Pacific road has filed Its an
nual report with the railroad commission
for tho year ending June 30, 1907. The re
port shows the average price per mile paid
per passenger for that period In state traf
fic waa $00.0196. In 1907 the average price
paid per passenger was $3.64 and in 1906
it was $2.76. The number of passengers
hauled ln 1907 was 3,078,538, as against
4.803.C94 in 1906.
The period covered the report In
cludes about eight month before the 2
cent fare law went Into effect, indicating
that the railroad received a trifle less than
2 cents before the law went Into operation.
Will Seek to Get Casea Back.
Attorney General W. T. Thompson an
nounces today that lie would ask the
supreme court of the United States for a
writ of mandamus to compel tho district
Judges for Nebraska to remand the rail
rbad cases over which jurisdiction . was
gained In the federal courts. These cases
Involve the enforcement of the anti-pass,
the 2-cent fare, the maximum freight rate
bills.
Mr. Thompson asked the supreme court
of Nebraska for Injunctions to prevent the
railroads from disobeying these laws, but
the railroads removed the cases to the
federal court, which refused to sustain
a motion to remand.

Do Yob Feel Snug and Comfortable

a Hearty Meal.
Did your last meal taste dellclously good
to you, and did you eat all you wanted?
Could you have patted your rotundity In
glee and felt proud of your appetite and of
your good strong stomach? Do you feel
rosy now because your lust meal gave you
no Inconvenience whatever? If not, you
have dyspepsia In some form, and probably
never realized It.
If you have the least trouble In your
stomach after eating, no matter how lit
tle or how much you eat, there Is trouble
brewing and you must correct It at once.
Most all stomach troubles come from poor,
wesk, scsnty gastric juice, that precious
liquid' which ought to turn your food into
rich, red blood.
If you have nausea, your gastric juice Is
weak If you have sour rising of belching,
your food is fermenting; your gastric juice
is weak. If you have loss of appetite, your
gastric Juke is weak. If you have a bloaty
feeling of aversion to food, your gastrlo
juice Is weak.
Tou need something In your stomach to
supply the gastric Juice which Is scanty
and to give power to the weak gastric Juice.
