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.

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.

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."

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,

a nice membership and report of the treas

to have every breuiler become a member
and It Is hoped those who were unablo to
attend will write 'to the secretary.

Ever Try The Bee Want Ad Columns?
''Wt,'i'-V'eiv :
We could buy beans as low as 30 cent
per bushel, yet we pay $2.10 for ours
We use Michigan beans picked over by hand.
We buy only the whitest,, the plumpest, the fullest-frown.
They are baked in live steam not In dry heat. 'Thus the
skins are not broken, the beans are not scorched.
The result is, all the beans are baked until they are mealy.
Yet they are nutty, not mushy. ,
We could buy tomato sauce ready mado
for one -fifth of our cost to make it
Tomato sauce Is often made from tomatoes picked creen,
and ripened in shipment. Such sauce is flat. Some sauce is
made from scraps of a canning factory, but such sauce is
not rich.
Ours is made only from whole vine-ripened tomatoes. '
That is why you get a sparkling test in Van Camp's,
piquant tang which never is found in others. .
Van Camp's pork and beans .
baked with tomato sauce
Beans, above all foods, should be factory cooked.
, It requires a fierce heat to break down the fibre to make
beans digestible and no home can supply it. , :
Our ovens are heated to 245 degrees.
Then you miss, in home cooking, the delicious blend that
we get by baking the sauce and the beans together.
Put the can in hot water, and your
meal can be served in ten minutes
Beans are Nature's choicest food 23 nitrogenous, 84

JTo food is liked better; no food is cheaper.
Then why not serve the most delicious beans that you

Postum and In a few days noticed

package which gives it its gocd rich taste.
"I have thanked my cousin many
times for telling me about Postum, . for
It haa done great good to my nerves snd
