- The world wants to smile and be cheer
ful, snd unless you are cheerful and smlie
t least,' occasionally, you will have few
. friends, fewer opportunities, r.o success,
and you will go down In defeat defeated
by dyspepsia, and a bad stomach.
A good and thorough digestion has a
eiiitck, wonderful reaction upon the brain.
You must have noticed It many times,
for the brain snd stomach are as inti
mately connected as a needle and Its
thread, one can hardly be used to advan-
tage without the other. If your stomach
la slow and lasy in digesting your food.
It will produce at one's a slow, lasy and
cloudy influence upon your brain. Mark
it! If your stomach has absolutely quit
work, and fermentation is poisoning your
vitals as a result, surely your brain is
going to be sluggish and correspondingly
'depressed. No one need tell you that.
But why continue to suffer all the mis
siles and torments that a disordered
stomach brings you?
' If .your atomach cannot digest your
food., whet all!? Where's the relief?
Where's the cure?
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are he ra
ti. r and cure. Why? Because, as all
atomach troubles arise from indigestion
and because one Ingredient of (Stuart's
Dyspepla Tablets is able to thoroughly
and aoasplsteiy tlgast 3.000 grains or any
kind of food, doesn't It stand to reason
that these little Dyspepsia 1 ablets are
going to digest all the food and what
ever food you put Into your stomach?
Science nnwadsys can digest food with
ut having to ue the stomach for It. And
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets ace the result
f this scientific discovery. They digest
and digest thoroughly and well, anything
snd everything you eat.
So, if your stomach refuses to work or
ean't work, and you suffer from, eructa
tions, blosL, brash, fermentation, bilious,
nrsa. sour stomach, heartburn. Irritation.
Indigestion, or dyspepala of whatever

Ed Ross' tale about a modern fairy in
breeches who handed him a fist full of
Chicago cashiers' checks, did not sound
good to the Jury in Judge Troup's court
Monday and It found Ross guilty of forgery
In less than half an hour. Ross was
charged with forging endorsements on two
of the checka and passing tbem on the
Nebraska,, Clothing company. The checks
hsf been sent to William L. Rosa by John
V. Karrell & Co-, of Chicago, tha firm for
which he worka. Rosa first tried to get
them cashed at Hayden Bros., but the
cashier there happened to know Rosa and
refused to cash them. T
Roas went on tha wftrlesa atand at the
trial and said he bad been given five checks
by a man who told him his nsme was
Rosa. He ssld he had met the man about
seven years ago In San Frsncisco and later
at Tacoma. but had never learned his
name. The atranger told him he was drunk
and was ashamed to cash the checks him
self. Ross says he took the paper and
Signed Rosa's name to two of them and se
cured 0 otf each.
It is supposed that Ross got the checks
through an error In giving out the mail at
the Paxton hotel, where Rosa was staying,
owing to the similarity of names. Hi is
almast a giant In stature and when ar
rested he had a check book with a partially
filled check In It.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Jan. 14 8peclal Inga And
erson, a native of Finland, good looking,
made a plea today to Governor Sheldon for
the release from the penitentiary of the
man she loves, John Martin. The man Is
serving a flve-ear sentence for acting 1he
policeman in the famous old padlock game.
In which a stranger wss bilked out of tel.
Msrtin pleaded guilty to the charge against
him. but that did not shake the faith of the
woman. She old the governor this morn
ing that he was a good man, capable of
making a good citiien and If only tbe ex
ecutive would consent to his relesse she
would stsrt Martin up In business and
marry him, and see that In future he
walked the plank of righteousness. Miss
Anderson said she first met Martin while
both were working In Montana, that later
she went to 'Alaska and secured a claim
which paid her well. I'pon her return to
the ststes she found Msrtin was in the
Kebreska penitentiary. She at once came
to Lincoln and went to the home of T. W.
Draper, a restsurant man who lost a for
tune In Alaska and then mnde one after
coming back here. She has since, remained
at the Draper home and interested tbe head
of the house In her affairs to the extent
thst he is willing to give Martin a job If
he Is released. The girl told the governor
she did not lttte to ssy where her claim Is
located or to go Into details -of her life,
as she was anxious to keep her relatives
In ignorance of her present troubles and
she is alao anxious to keep Martin's rela
tives unaware of his plight.
Martin was brought from the penitentiary
and upon reaching the atate house the girl
went out In J he hall to meet him and gave
him a warm reception. Martin said he
cams to America from Norway, where he
was born, when 14 yesrs old. He stopped
first in Chicago with his father for about
three years and then went Into Wisconsin,
where he worked for a number of years
as a cook for a lumber outfit. Then he
went to 'Washington. There he was ar
rested for playing cards, but as the charge
against him was larceny he said the su
preme court reversed the decision against
him and he was released. Then he drifted
Into Montana, where while working as a
cook in a restaurant he met the girl who
Is now trying to give him another chance
in life. Martin Is a great, big. fine look
ing man of about 30 and waa dressed In a
new black suit of clothes. He haa served
about two and one-half years of hia time.
While In jail here his companions escaped
by digging a hole In the wall, but Martin
did not' go with them. One of the men
was captured later and sentenced to one
year, while Martin got fve. He and the
girl believe he has served long enough.
The governor has taken the matter under
advisement. Miss Anderson tried to' get
Governor Mickey to release Martin, but
fafled.
The hearing granted to John Martin by
Governor Sheldon this morning attracted
considerable attention around the elate
house, and many of the employes spent the
BTeater part of the morning occupying. re
served sests in order te hear the girl in
the case tell he story. Among the state
dignitaries who were present were: George
Carter, state game warden; A.. B. Allen,
"the oil inspector: T. W. Smith, the book
keeper In the office of the secretary of
state: the stenographer to the railway
commission, besides, of course, a number
of town people, who were there to encour
age the young woman.

Auditor Searle and B. II. Robison of the
Bankers Reserve IJfe company had an all

ments to tha plan proposed by Robison for
the reinsuring of the risks of the Bankers
Reserve Life company in "The Bankers
Reserve Life company," an organisation
which it Is proposed to start tomorrow in
Omaha at a meeting of the members of the
first named revnpany. Some time ago
Robison presented to Bearle a copy of his
proposed plan of organising the new com
pany, which. Is a stock company, and
Searle gave hia approval to tha plan. The
same was printed together with the sp-
proval of the auditor and circulated among
the members of the company. Yesterday
two members of the company protested to
the auditor against the adoption of the
plana because no limit waa placed on the
dividends: no limit on the salaries to be
paid the officers and the regulations were
such the board of directors could serve
without a time limit. Tbe result of this
protest as that lo aura nee Deputy Pierce
and Special Examiner Wiggins prepared
amendments covering these objectionable

amendments. Robison discussed the mat

auditor would not be bound to accept the
plansas fnally filed. However, the time

Labor Commissioner Ryder yesterday
received the December Crop Reporter of
the Department ef Agriculture, with sup
plement containing acreage, production
and value of the principal farm crops of
tha Vnlted States for 107. He finds oc
casion te make some interesting compari
sons with the Nebraska report Issued by
hia bureau.
"Nebraska stands second among the
states for production ef winter wheat,"
said Mr. Ryder, "being beaten oy Kansas
alone. Wa beat Illinois by almost 2,000,
000 bushels. Kansas with two and a half
times oar acreage In winter wheat, does
not anywhere near double ua In produc
tion. Secretary Wilson's figures gives Its
average production per acre aa 11. S bush

per acre. Our cam report gave It. St as
the average. Figuring Tt cents a bushel,
tha Department ef Agriculture makve tha
Talus ef the Nebraska winter wheat tit.
117.000. Thla bureau, figuring ut 11
cents a buhel. made tha value t-.14t.-TH.
Our acreage figures exceeds tbe de
partment's total by fa.llT acres. Mr. Wil
son's men figure the ansa a crop as worth
12 rente a bushel, but this difference In
favor ef the Kansas product la net Justi
fied by tha reports ef quality from tha
markets.
This stale raiiks flVth far production
and value ef lta oats crop fee 107. tha
leadars being laws. lUiasla. Wteoonsln and
Minnesota, the latter atate being credited
with a production ef (.000 bushels mere
than Nebraska. The department figures
our crop at the very lew price ef t7
cents a bushel, the lowest figure used for
any ef the states. This bureau figured
It at It cents a bushel, and we believe
now that waa toe low. If our oats crop
wsa figured at the same price aa that of
Kansas. 4 3 cents. It would give a value
of t:l. tlt.lOO, whereas the figure given
in our crop report wss but i:n.J74,4tt 6.
"In the realm of Ring Corn only Illinois,
Iowa and Missouri take precedence ever
queenly Nebraska. We lead Kansas by
taS.000 bushels, and Texas comes In be
tween. Hera again this state suffers in the
depsrtment's figures on value. 41 cents a
Bushel, the lowest In the whole list of
states wtthout exception. Thla buresu con
siders It was getting very low for Nebraska
corn at 41 cents a bushel, and I think so
still, because I have the market reports to
prove It.
"Nebraska stands sixth among the states
on production of rye. tenth for barley pro
duction and eleventh for spring wheat.
We get tenth at the hayrack, leadtng
Kansss In production, but the Sunflower
state Is given a boost of a dollar per ton
value over Nebraska, at f7.Z5, as sgalnst
tX. Alfalfa Is not given separately, but
If It were Nebraska would, I feel sure, lesd
the line of stales.
"This state la some Irish, too. We stand
fifteenth among all the states for produc
tion of potatoes and everybody knows that
no finer tubers are grown than the Ne
braska spuds thst srs always bustjn their
Jsckets with laughing. Here agsln we are
thrown down on value, at 70 cents a bushel,
against SS for Kansss. Wa made our fig
urea on a TS-cent basis, and have seen
no reason to change them at all.
"Aa to this matter of price, wherein the
bureau of statistics at Washington rates
Nebraska products et the very lowest pries
In almost, every Instsnce, I cannot at pres
ent account for it. They will have to show
us If they do It on the theory that Ne
braska grain, potatoes and hay are of In
ferior quality, because the demand for our
products and the prices psld In the open
market do not sustain this theory. I pro
pose to make aome Inquiries and perhaps
then we can get some enlightenment In the
matter."
