LINCOLN. Feb. 4. (Special Telegram.)
Formal protect was filed by W. A. Myera
f Alma before the State Railroad com
mission Tuesday against the telegraph mm
TsfilfS operating in Nebraska making re
lured or "press rates" to the newspapers
when citizens are compelled to pay the
full rate.
In his communication to the railroad
commission Mr. Myers says that he bases
bl protest on the ruling recently made by
the commission, making it unlawful for the
Bell Telephone company to '. furnish tele
phone service to the Burlington railroad at
reduce rates, or enter Into any contract
with the 'railroad ' people ' to Install tele
phones in the state on other terms than
Biade to the general public.
, Whether Mr. Myers Is acting for the
railroad company or not Is a matter of
conjecture at the capital, but he Insists
that lie Intends to push the case against
the telegraph companies and newspapers
on the ground that If the railroad com
mission can Issue such an order to a tele
phone company It has the same power to
stop the discrimination between citlsens of
Nebraska and the privileged newspapers of
the state.
Salt Alleged Iaeltectlre.
The express companies against which the
railroad commission brought suit some
time ago to enforce the provisions of the
Sibley law, requiring a 25 per cent reduc
tion In express rates, have filed their an
swer In the supreme court. The com pa
nles allege that the law docs not work
against them, inasmuch as the Sibley law
did not go Into effect until July 5,' 1907,
while the attorney general brought the
suit to enforce the law prior to the time It
.went Into effect. The express companies
hold that their rates wero legally estab
lished at the time the suit was brought
and that the present suit could not pos
sibly effect them, owing to the time of
filing, before the Sibley law was a law.
Hearing: on Can Ileeelpts.
The State Railway commission th's after
noon officially denied a rehearing asked
for by (he plaintiffs in the case of the con
trallzed creameries against the various
railroads of the state In which the matter
of service waa . the issue, except In tlio
request that receipts be given for empty
cans returned by the railroad. The com
mission ordered the transportation com
panieH to appear In Lincoln ' February 18
at lik o'clock In the morning, to show cause
why an order 'should not Issue to require
tueni to give receipts for the empty cans
and ''other empty1 receptacles of a l:ka
nature, returned. This hearing is for the
purpose of securing Information upon
which the commission can Issue an order
covering the whole matter of the return
of empties and not .merely to give relief
to one class of . shippers as In this in

Law Too Drastic.
Attorney Qenerul Thompson has received
from Congressman Clayton of Alabama a
copy of the latter's bill to prevent the
Issuance of federal Injunctions against the
operations of state laws and a personal
letter asking Mr. Thompson's opinion' of
the bill. This measure provides that no
district or circuit judge of the United
States can enjon the enforcement of a;
state law until the same has been tried
and a decree entered to the effect that It
Is In violation of the constitution or treat
ies of the Vnited States. In other words,
that tho federal court cannot Issue a tem
porary Injunction against the enforcement
of any state law. In reply to the letter
Mr. Thompson will state that in his opin
ion the law Is toe drastic and he will ad
vise that it be limited so that no federal
J mine can retrain a state officer from en
forcing a slate law In a state court until
the matter hits been tried in the state court
and a final decree entered.

News That la Not True.
A copy of the Omaha World-Herald re
ceived at the stale house today contained
evidence that it is still necessary to go
away from home to git the news. The
paper had a story about the Lancaster
county republican committee refusing to
endorse the candidacy gf Secretary Taft
by voting down a motion to endorse. No
motion was made at the meeting of tho
committee to endorse the candidacy of
St-cretary Taft und.no suggestion was made
that such a motion should be adopted.
Instead cards Issued by the local Taft
league were passed around to the commit
teemen, each of whom took a bunch, home
with him to get new Bigncrs. The endorse
ment of a presidential candidate was not
even mentioned at the meeting, probably
for the reason that practically every re
publican In the county ia for 'lie nomina
tion of Secretary Taft and his endorsement
formally was not bought necessary. '

Dr. Geo. W. Carey in his book on "The Biochemic System of Medicine" says:
"When the medical profession fully understand the nature and range of the phosphate of potassium insane

"The gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely by the inorganic cell-salt, postpssium phosphate
"This salt unites with albumen, and by the addition of oxygen creates nerve-fluid, or the grey matter of the brain.
Of course, there is a trace of other salts and other organic matter in nerve-fluid, but potassium phosphate is the
chief factor, and has the power within itself to attract, by its own law of affinity, all things needed to manufacture
the elixir of life. Therefore, when nervous symptoms arise, due to the fact that the nerve-fluid has been exhausted
from any caus, the phospsate of potasium is the only true remedy, because nothing else can possibly supply the

"The ills'arising from too rapidly consuming the grey matter of the brain cannot be overestimated.
