sued by the Supreme court and the hearing
Is set for tho eeCnjid. sitting of the court
In January. The state gave a bond of

Th attorney general concluded his peti
tion as fololws:
Wherefore, plaintiff prays that dfnd

be perpetually enjoined by decree of this
court from miktng, executing or delivering
any of said contracts, or contracts of like
Import, and from Issuing pursuant to the
terms thereof any ticket, pass, mileage or
transportation of any nature; from the un
lawful discriminations and other unlawful
practice), hi plaintiff's petition described,
nnd from Inventing and carrying out any
other unlawful device-to evade and 'cheat
the laws' of th slat" of Nebraska and to
prevent the state of N'qhraska from exercis
ing Its power to control its Internal com
merce, and to regulate defendant's rates
for and .services In transporting passengers
between places wholly within the state of
Nebraska on defendant's lines of railway.
Plnlntlff further nrivi for such other.
, further or different relief aa equity and
good conscience may require and for cost
of suit.
In his petition the attorney general seta
cut the 2-cent fate bill and calls attention
to the. railway commission law, which pre-
vents discrimination In rates, and the anti-
pass law. Continuing, the petition says
None of the said persons to whom said
transportation was by defendant . Issued
was. or Is, an employe who devotes the
major portion of his or her time to the
services of defendant. Neither does any
, one of them come within? class of per
sons to whom defendant I.. 'awfully issue
a free ticket, free pass, or transporta
tion In any form, but defends, kt, by said
anti-pass law, forbidden to lssde or give
to any of said persons "any free ticket,
free pass, or free transportation In anv
form,: for the transportation of passengers
over us lines or road In the state or Ne
braska," and said transportation was free
transportation within the meaning of aald
act, and the said provisions thereof, and
was unlawful and void.
Each Item of said transportation Issued
under and pursuant to said purported con-
tract, on the terms therein stated, consti
tutes an unlawful change from the regular
statutory rate of 2 cents a mile for each
passenger, as established and executed by
defendant: from passengers generally In the
state of Nebraska under the said provisions
of the said I-oent fare law, and defendant
has nevre applied to the Nebraska Stat
Railway commission for, nor has said com
"mission permitted, a change In passenger
jrates from a&M-rate of 1 cents 'a mile to
Vhe rates, terms and conditions In said pur
ported contract described, and all of said
transportation was, and Is. unauthorised by
any law of the state of Nebraska, but con
trary thereto, la null and void, and Is a
V direct violation of the law.
Each Item of said transportation Issued
tinder and pursuant to said purported con
tract, on terms therein stated, also consti
tutes a special rate, rebate, device, unjust
discrimination, unreasonable preference and
advantage In favor of tho said person to
whom said transportation was by defendant
Issued and against passengers generally In
the state of Nebraska, was and Is a viola
tion of the said provisions of the said rail
way commission act, and is Inequitable, un
conscionable, unlawful and void.
Deal so a Case Iterersed.
The Judgment for 17.600 obtained by
Thomas Dennlson against the Dally Newt
Publishing company of Omaha on account
of alleged libel was reversed today in the
Thomas, attorney for tha Civic Federation,
on the night of November J. 104, In which
a person whose nam was net given was
accuad of throwing a bomb or hiring some
one to throw It for the purpose of wrecking
the home of Mr. Thomas. ...
Dennlson filed suit against the news
paper, alleging that he was the Individual
referred to In the speech and that the
publication was libelous. He sued to re
cover $&0,0CO. He - obtained Judgment for
!7,Suo, and the publishing company then
appealed to the supreme court. The sylla
bus1 of the opinion of the court, written
by Commissioner Epperson, follows:
In a civil action to recover damages for
libel It Is proper to produce evidence show
ing the relation existing between the plsln
tltf and the author of the alleged libel for
the purpose of proving that the plaintiff
was the person referred to. when his name
does nut appear in the article, and defend
ant does not admit that he la the one re
ferred to. ,
Neither the grief experienced by tha plain
tiffs wlie upon reading an alleged libelous
article regarding plaintiff, nor the Influence
of her grief upon the plaintiffs mind are
elements of damage recoverable In actions
for libel.
In a civil action for libel In this sUlo
wherein punltlev damagea are not recover
able evidence of the defendant's refusal to
publish a retraction nor evidence that
others who had also published the alleged
lliwl had published a retraction la ad
missible fnr the purpose of enhancing tne
plaintiff's recovery.
In suh esse the editor or dcren-iant s
paper In which the alleged libel was
published should not be required upon ob
jection, to testify as to whom he "con
sidered ' and "supposed the article re
ferred.
Coaalr Jadge Win Oat.
The suit of Saunders county against
Charles H. Slama, former county Judge,
to recover t44 fees, alleged to have been
retained by him for performing marriage
ceremonies, has been remanded to the dia-
trlct court for further proceedings. The
district court had given a Judgment In
favor of the county.
This opinion does not pass upon the es
sential features of the Vlnsonhaler case In
Douglas county Inasmuch as the court does
not say whether marriage ceremony fees
may or may not be retained by a county
Judge.
Bon Receives Property.
In the case of Mary A. Schley against
Michael and Mary Ann Horan, the supreme
court reaffirms the Biblical Injunction that
the laborer 1s worthy of his hire. Michael
Horan for nine years previous to hla major
ity was a laborer In the Iron mills of New
Jersey. He turned over all his earnings to
his parents. Afterward he worked for
twenty years as a farm hand for his par
ents and received no compensation other
than his bed and board.
A few years before her death his mother
deede to him her 130-acre farm In Colfax
county. The consideration was only love,
affection and II. Mrs. Schley, Michael's
sister, brought suit to have the deed set
aside, alleging that Mrs. Horan was weak
minded and had been unduly Influenced by
her son. She asked for an equal division
of the property.
The court holds that Michael la en
titled t oall he receives from hla father's
estate and that while hla mother occa
sionally manifested hallucinations of
mind they were not sufficient to warrant
setting aside the conveyance of the prop
erty.
Reform School for Profanity.
The court has sustained the Judgment
of the dfktrlct court of Kearney county
in ordering Joy Roberta, a 11-year-old
boy, committed to the 8tate Industrial
school at Kearney. The boy waa con
victed of profane- awearlng and his at
torneys contended that he could not bo
sent to the industrial school bor such an
offense, but that only a fine of not more
than $1 or less than 11 cents could be
Imposed.

The officers of the State Anti-8aloon
league held their quarterly session here to
day and reviewed the situation since the
election, with reference to the defeat of the
county option amendment. They charge
their defeat to the fund that had been
raised by the saloon Interests. They de
clared that If they could have had another
thousand dollars to have spent In the last
week of the campaign they could have won
the fight, or had the election been, held off
three day they could have won. The fact
that the amendment on the election ballot
waa so long the officer believe helped to
contribute to lu defeat.

which results In palpitation' and weakness.
These often cause chronic heart trouble
which may shorten life.
"Palpitation, nervousness, Insomnia and
other ooffee symptom, are the danger
signals nature throw out to the coffee
drinker.
"While yet an Infant on my mother
knee," writes a Penna. lady, "she gave
me alps of coffee. A I grew older, my
appetite for coffee waa indulged until C
did not enjoy a meal without It.
"By the time I grew to womanhood, I
began to suffer the consequences. My
stomach bad become disordered, and often
at night I could not sleep for hour on
account of palpitation of the heart.

ADMIRAL'S SON REPRIMANDED
Admiral Sperrr. in AlDrorln. irin
lag in Evans Case, Sny Penalty
Is Inadequate.
WASHINGTON, Nov. !. Lieutenant
Frank T. Evans. U. 8. N., who was re
cently reduced 150 numbers In rank for
conduct unbecoming an officer and preju
dicial to the service, was, today repri
manded by Acting Secretary Newberry, In
accordance with the findings of the court-
martial, in the following language:
The department, for reasons obvious to
the service, regards this affair as pecu
liarly deplorable and In publishing Us
disapproval of the conduct of Lieutenant
Evans refrains from expressing fully Its
condemnation of the actions of this offi
cer on the occasion In question. A casual
reading, however, of the charge and spec
ifications with the findings thereon will
be sufficient to enable the service to form
lta own estimate of an officer who has
been found guilty of the acts alleged In
this case.
Admiral Sperry, commander-in-chief of
the Atlantic fleet of battleships. In ap
proving the finding, said that he did
so In order that Lieutenant Evans shall
not entirely escspe punishment, but made
known the belief that the young officer
had not been adequately punished.
The courtmartial found Lieutenant
Evan guilty of leaving his station be
fore being adequately relieved, of disre
spectful language to his superior officer
and of Inviting two enlisted men to have
a bottle of beer In hi room.

Poor Tools And
A Good Vorker
That Is What Makes Indigestion, Dys

and Catarrh.
The stomach Is a good strong vital
organ, which Is constantly protecting and
feeding every other organ of the body.
It Is the most abused, neglected and
scorned member of man also. Most men
abuse their stomach with undercooked
food, high living, alcohol, tobacco, pastries
and acorea of other unhealthy practices.
When the stomach at last sickens of all
this abuss and cannot do its full duty,
most men are not warned, but keep up
their assault on the stomach until at
last It rebels and begin to strike back
and cry for help. Man by hi own abuse
has taken away from the stomach th
tool to work with.
These tools are the gastrlo Juices
which go to make up the digestive agenta.
From 7 to 85 lbs. of gastrlo Jules are
turned Into the stomach every day.
When poor, poisonous food consume
this Julco, dilutes it, robs it of Its
strength and throwa It, a fermented mass
from the system, of course there is Just
that much of the gastric fluid which can
not be readily supplied by the blood.
When food comes into the stomach fill
ed with depleted fluids lacking of power
to do their part, the good strong stomach
Is using poor tools and, of course, can
not succeed In Its work.
A condition which often prevail la
that which take place when the gastric
Juice contains too much alkali. If the
Juice were wholly alkaline It would not
only devour and digest the fuid, but
would eat and digest the stomach Itself.
Such gastric fluid does th digestion no
good and attacks th wall of the stom
ach, making them raw and sore and set
ting up Inflammation and Irritation.
Htuart's Dyspspsla Tablet will
strengthen a stomach filled with poor gas
tric Juice. They will remove any abnor
mal alkaline condition, allay Irritation,
swseten Uie breath, remove catarrhal con
ditions and digest food no matter how th
stomach has acted before.
Theae little tablets contain an Ingred
ient, one grain of which will digest per
fectly t.000 grains of food. They will
digest aa entire meal placed In a Jar
without th aid of aay other force except
themselves. They have demonstrated this
time after time.
