THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: 'WEDNESDAY, .TANUATvY 1909." SIBLEY FILES HIS COMPLAINT Railroad Comraifsion liny How Con sider Nebraska Grain Ratei. TESTING THE ANTI-PASS LAW l a ton Paflfte 'and Railway (nmnli Ion to Rnae la Friendly Salt la Deride Some Questions. 'From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Jn. 28.-Speclal Tclegrsm.) Btate Senator C. A. Sibley of Frontier county haa complained formally that grain ralca charged by the Burlington road In Nehrska are (oo high. Ho asks the rail road commission to reduce them 15 per rent below the reduction of 15 per rent already brought about by'the Aldrich bill. Senator 81bl-y appeared before the com mlasloners this morning and took formal action. A day for hearing will be fixed nd the board will consider evidence In the cane. An order of the board reducing ratea wai made several montha ago, but wae held 1 by legal proceeding lnatltuted by the railroads. Following thla action the com mission here decided It had proceeded wrongfully In . acting on its own motion and dcolded.'i.tMst reductions of rates could he brought about only on formal complaint. .A . short time later Senator Blbley declared he Would complain and to day ha fulfilled 4.1 prera(e. He la repre sented by Senator C. II. AlirrleTi of David City and J. O Heeler of North Platte. The commission haa notified the railroad cf the filing and will later fix the time for hearing. ' leal of Anti-Pass Law. fcdaon Rich, attorney for the Union Iaclflc, held a conference with members of the Plate Railway commission this morn ing and the result probably will be a friendly suit to test the anti-pass law. The I'nlon Paclflo may also decide to fight In the courts the recent order of the com mission promulgating new oil rates, which provided a reduction of about "0 per cent of the rate charged for hauling ol.. Noth ing definite, however, was decided, as all of the member of the commission were' not present. Mr. Rich also desired to know the jxsltlon of the commission on a propo sition relating to the retail of telephones. It ts the desire of his company, he said, to furnish telephones :to employes, the latter to pay 80 per cent atiil the railroad company to pay the remaining''. Jer cent of the cost In transportation, equal to its share of the bill. The Nebraska anti-pass law It la said, does not cover this matter itpeclfically, but no cncoursgtuaeot -was1 given to Mr. Rich by the commission.' ' ' The attorney said his company desired to furnith their local attorneys with transpor tation and he was' anxious to start friendly still io test this portion of the law. The company Is-nlso, anxious he said to furnish transportation to stock yards keepers. In a number of Instances he said the railroad company furnished the stock yards, and tl.e switch tracks and the manager of the yards had the privilege of selling feed to slippers. This privilege, which permitted Mm to make a profit on his feed sold, to gether with transportation, compensated the manager for his care of the yards. '"fMie commission Is not adverse to hav ing a friendly suit started over this matter. Tim conference was Informal and Mr. Rich Lw-isod a desire on tho part of the rall li'sa rrrrljVa'ny to bbey the law ami any or ders of Hie ' commission and 'matters dis puted he, doslred settled In friendly contests, n t!-at both sides would know where they stand.

I m In favor of the nomination of Secretaiy Taft." said Senator Backett of Gage county, who was In Lincoln today on biisltiuss. ."The Nebaska delegation' to the national convention should bo Instructed to work for the nomination of Secretary Taft. and the men who compose that delegation sliould be men who are capable of wielding Influence In the Chicago convention." "What Is best fo the state and the repub lican parly," said Senator Snckett, "should deteni.lno tho personnel of the delegation.

The muscles of the body can be devel oped by exercise until their strength has Increaaed manifold, and a proper anount cf training each day will accompls'i this" xesult, bu it Is somewhat doubtful wheth er you can Increase the digestive powers of the stomach by eating Indigestible food In order to force It to work. Nature haa furnlahed us all with per fect set of organs, and If they are not ahused they will attend to the business required of them. . They need no abnor mal strength. Ther Is a limit to the weight a man can lift, and there Is also a limit to what the S'omach can do. The cause of dyspepsia, indigestion and many affiliated diseases Is that the stom ach has been exercised too much and It Is tired or worn (Tut. Not exercise but rest Is what It needs. To take something Into the stomach that will relieve It from its work for a short time something to digest the food will give it a rest and allow it time to regain Its strength. The proper aid to the digestive organs Is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which ure dyspepsia, indigestion, gas on the stom-s-h and bowels, heartburn, palpitation of the heart, and all atomach diseases. Kest and invlgoratlon is what the stom ach gets when you uae Stuart's Dyspep sia Tablets, for one grain of the active principle in them Is sufficient to digest t.000 grains of food. The Tablets Increase, the flow of gastric Juice, and prevent fermentation, acidity and sour eructlons. Do not attempt to starve out dyspepsia, lou need all your strength. The common sense method is to digest the food for the stomach and give it a lest. V Btuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not make the cur, but enab'esr the organs to throw off unhealthy conditions. . - Perfect digestion means perfect health. rfor under these conditions only do the different organs of the body work right and receive the bulldlng-up material found tn pure blood. btuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is a natural remedy and Is a speclflo for atomach troubles. The ablest physicians prescribe them. The Vableta are pl'eaaant to the taate and are composed of fruit and vegetable extracts, golden seal and pepsin.

Stuart Co lit Stuart Bldg., Maxell!!, Mich. rrnor Sheldvn and Senator Norrla llrnwn as two of the deleates-at-large. Both have expressed a willingness to go to the con ventioon. and both should In my Judgment receive the unanimous vote of the state convention. The fact that Senator Burkett does not wlsii to be a delegate or to be considered us a candidate for a place on the delegation, should not prevent the other senator and the governor from being on the delegation. Tiiese men occupy high por.l tli't.a In the state and nation and In my opinion they will add strength to the dele gation, not only because of thla, but be cause of the fact that they were successful in a strong fight waged by the republican party of the state against the evlts which have dominated Nebraska political affairs for so many years. There Is no question In my mind that Nebraska will be a strong factor In the-national convention, by reason of Its endorsement of the Roosevelt policies and the Influence It will have on the dele gations of other states will be limited only by the acquaintance and Influence of the Individual members of our delegation."

AVUt'fl RRKKDKKM EXTHl SI ASTIC Meeting at Lincoln Results In Big Booat for Dodtllrs." YORK. Neb.. Jan. 28. (Special.) One of the most enthusiastic meellngs held during the week of organized agricultural meet lngs at Lincoln was the first annuul meet ing held by the Nebraska Aberdeen-Angus Breeders' association. The lecture In agrl cultural building was comfortably filled by farmers, stockmen, students, young stock men and ranchmen from the far west, who are ready at all times to take their hats off to what they think the best breed and greatest money-making breed of cattle. Tho Aberdeen-Angus are black and horn less, blocky, with wide hacks, heavy thighs. full flanks and twists and a t?!iort leg under each corner, large heart girth and uni formly smooth, with great spread of meat They are egg-like In formation iuid lend a liVdf In weight and rich milkers. Nebraska.ns have reason to feel proud of this breed If for no other other reason than It is due to this breed that several thousand dollars of awards and championships at the great stock shows were won Son AnKiio shown by the State university farm. The record made by the Angus for Ne braska at the International, Chicago, and tho Kansas City royal shows, compelled the older states to et up and take notice of Nebraska. Ninety per cent of attendance were stock men, breeders and farmers, who-had in years past raised the well known breeds, ajid these men were better able4o explain why Angus, as compared with other breeds, were preferred. C. S. Reece, a ranchman from north western Nebraska, for years handled a woll known beef breed, and when the t first "blacks' came in his neighborhood he quickly discovered that they were the Ideal range cattle, and his experience demon strated to his entire satisfaction that the "blacks" were more regular breeders, bet ter mothers, better hustlers, more hBrdy, eaaler keepers, uaiiier maturing and that a decent bunch always topped the market. After general business of the meeting was transacted the following breeders were elected officers: Alfred H. Christian, York. Neb., president: S. W. Young, vice presi dent. South Bend; D. N. Syford, Lincoln, secretary-treasurer. IMrectors: C. S. Reece, W. C. Hummel. Fred Sims, R. If. Walcott, D. O. Berg. The association starts out with a nice membership and report of the treas urer showed a good gain and money In the treasury. The organization would be pleased to have every breuiler become a member and It Is hoped those who were unablo to attend will write 'to the secretary.
