So far as I know we do not have any

number of well qualified teachers for its

now in attendance at summer schools,
wnicn gives you an tdea of the profes
sional spirit among Nebraska school-
ma'ams. During the last three years the
aggregate Increase in teachers' salaries In
this state has been over Sl.uOO.OOO. This ac
counts, no doubt. In great measure for our
now naving a sufficient number of teach

Under separate rover I am mailing you
copy of our bulletin on normal tralnlnc
In high schools. During the last year we
nave trained over 1,600 prospective teach
ers In these schools and during the next
year we shall train over 2,000 prospective
teachers, while our state, private and de

universities are crowded to their utmost
capacity.
There haa Just been completed by the
state bureau of statistic a table showing
figures on the various lines of manufac

missioner Ryder. In giving out the table
for publication, says:
'It must be understood that, so far as
this table goes, the figures represent only
goods actually manufactured in this state.
LINCOLN, uly 18. (Speclal.)-Tom Allen,
chairman of the democratic state commit
tee, has figured out a scheme whereby he
thinks he can prevent the populists of Ne
braska from having an electoral ticket In
the field this fall. He has eight favorites
whose names he expects to file shortly with
the secretary of state with petitions asking
that they be placed both on the democratic
and the populist ballots. Should these eight
favorites win out both In the populist and
the democratic primaries, then the deml-
cratlc boss figures on a fusion ticket this
fall, with no Watson electors In the field.
Inasmuch as the Nebraska delegation to
the national populist convention withdrew
from the deliberations of that body when
It nominated Thomas Watson for president,
some question has been raised as to the
legality of the use of the name peoples
lndependnt party on the primary ballot
this fall unless the eleotors are for Watson.
Secretary it State Junkln, however, Is hold
ing that under the supreme court decision
last year, if proper petitions are filed with
him, he will place the same names on
both the populist and the democratic,
tickets. Mr. Allen, however, probably will
run against a snag at the offshoot, as Mr.
Junkln Is also holding that candidates for
elector must file from a congressional dis
trict or at large. The law says electors
shall be selected one from each congres
sional district an dtwo at large. It was
the Idea of Mr. Allen that he could file
the same petition for all eight of his candi
dates, but Mr. Junkln holds the petition
filed for district electors must be signed
hv residents of the district from which
the person is a candidate. Several candl
dates have filed for elector who have failed
to specify whether they are candidates at
large or from a congressional district.
These will be returned for this Informa
tion. '

block over which Mr. Allen may fall down,

PROPPED COFFEE
Doctor Oalns 80 Pounds on Postom.
A physician of Washington, D. C, says
Of his coffee experience:
Tor years I suffered with periodical
headaches which grew more frequent until
thev became almost constant. 60 severe
were they sometimes I was almost frantic.
I was sallow, constipated. Irritable, sleep
less: mv memory was poor, I trembled
and my thoughts were often confused.
"My wife, In her wisdom, believed cof
fee was responsible for these Ills and
urged me to drop It I. tried ;nny times
to do so, but was its slave.
"Finally Wife bought a package of
Postum and persuaded me to try It, but
he made It same as ordinary coffee and
I was disgusted with the taste. (I make
t&is emphatic because I fear many others
nave hrfd the same experience.) She was
distressed at her failure and we carefully
read the directions, made It right, boiled
It. full 15 minutes after boiling commenc
ed, and with good cream and sugar. I
liked It It Invigorated snd seemed to
nourish me.
"Thst was about a year ago. Now I
have no headaches, am not sallow, sleep,
lessneau and irritability are gone, my
taratn clear and my hand steady. I have
gained 10 lbs. and feel I am a new man.
"I do not hesitate to give Postum due
credit. Of course dropping coffee was
the main thing, but I had drorped It be
ore. ustns chocolate, cocoa and other
things to no purpose.
"Postum not only seemed to act as an
lnvlgorsnt., but as an article of nourish
ment, . giving me the needed phosphate
and albumens. This Is no Imaginary tale.
It can be substantiate by my wife and
her sister, who both .changed to Postum
and are hearty women of about 70.
"I write this for the Information and
encouragement of others, and with a
feeling of gratitude to the Inventor of
Postum."

NEW YORK, July 18. A special dispatch
to the New York Tribune from Washington
and which the Tribune will print tomorrow
morning, says: In the opinion of Judson
C. Clements, a member of the Interstate
Commerce commission, the proposed In
crease of freight rates discussed in New
York yesterday by the presidents of many
of the eastern railroads In ths Trunk Line
association, would constitute a violation of
the Sherman anti-trust law and would ren
der all the railroads concerned liable to se
vere penalties. Mr. Clements explained
that the Interstate Commerce commission
as a commission Is not at all Interested
In the Sherman anti-trust law, the execu
tion of which Is entrusted to the Depart
ment of Justice, but he expressed his opin
ion as a lawyer and cited a recent Instance
where the supreme court had so decided.
"As a lawyer," he said, "I am willing
to hazard the opinion that such an In
crease In rates as was contemplated oy
the eastern railroads at their meeting yes
terday In New York would be in direct
violation of the anti-trust law.
"When practically all the eastern rail
roads, and for that matter, all the roads
of the country, by a mutual agreement
ra!se rates, it is, to my mind, a procedure
which brings them under that clause ot
the anti-trust law which prevents pooling
anj Illegal combinations.
'.'Whether or not there Is sny necessity
now for an Increase of rates, I am not
prepared to say. If the Increase should
come the commission will have ample time
to decide that point. 1 am convinced, how
ever, that the railroads will give the anti
trust law careful consideration before they
attempt a general Increase of rates.
"A similar case came up in Oeorgla some
time ago during some lumber dealings.
Federal Judge Epeer decided that the rail
roads had formed an Illegal combination
In increasing the rates and the supreme
court affirmed the decision."
