Bartow A.atast Special Contracts.
State Auditor aBrton will the first of
the week give out his decision In the mat
ter of special contracts In pollcl'S Issued
by Insurance Companies doing business in
Nebraska, along with several other rulings
the department has made. Auditor aBrton
will hold against the special contracts.
He nas not made purine nis occis:on yi
and haa not yet completed It, having stop-
pea lo consider some oners ruea uy i"
insurance companies that are wr.tlng spec
ial contract policies. At the recent hear
ing some of the companies opposed tht
clal contracts and other companies ad
vocated them. The auditor considered the
question from all sides and hs will knock
out that class of policies.
Robert Malone, late candidate for mayor
on the democratic ticket, today filed his
V petition attacking the lection of Dun Love
.mjI i.l.1mln h- nfttfm himself hv ma ior-
lty of 733. Malone's petition was filed by
T. J. Doyle and It is claimed that enough
mistakes were made to offset the Love
majority and turn it, into a Malone victory.
The chief discrepancy Is found In the re
turns aa certified concerning; precinct B of
the Fifth ward. The returns from that
precinct ars that 3 votes were cast for
Love and 173 for Malone and that the total
number cast in the precinct was 220. The
petition sets out that this would give Love
179 mora votes than the total cast, more
than enough to make up for his reported
majority.
In twenty .other counts of the petition
alleged errors In the returns from each
of the twenty other precincts of the city
are cited.

1 Mayor Love . Is in no hurry to make
'changes In his cabinet, however anxious
outsiders may be to get in and insiders to
spectlon of railroad tracks and the euj
rounding country, a (11 tour Its way back
to Ita maker without having accumulated
any Nebraska dust save that which it
gathered while in the freight house at
Lincoln. The commission made satisfac
tory terms .with the manufacturers by
which the machine Is taken back and the
state Is out nothing, the commissioners
paying all the coats out of their own
pockets. As the car weighed 8.000 pounds,
Commissioner Cowglll refused to take the
contract to lift It from the tracks at the
approach of a train or hand car. Mr.
Clark and Dr. Wlnnett admitted it was
too heavy for them to lift.
Krrm Policemen Caw't Drlak.
Notwithstanding Lincoln Is. dry and It
Is Impossible' to get a drink in the city,
the policemen will not be permitted to be
drunk while on duty or of duty. The new
mayor. Don Love, ha issued an order that
the first time he secures evidence that
nj policeman has been drinking while
on duty or la drunk while off duty ho
will dismiss' the official at once. Dis
missal for such a cause, the mayor said,
would prevent the official from again
serving aa a city policeman. The mayor
even said that It had been reported to
him that some of the police had been
drinking during the last two weeks, half
of which time the saloons have been out
of business.
Compiles Record of Legtalatwre.
Hon. T. Cone, chief clerk of Nebraska's
first democratic legislature, may be elected
United Stntes senator, governor, or railway
commissioner, or general manager of the
state, but It is a safe prediction that he
will not be again elected chief clerk of the
house If the present house Is re-elected
Mr. T. Cone Is tsktng liberties with the
members of the house. In an Index to the
house Journal he haa prepared a history of
the work, the vote, the motions and the
resolutions and Mils of each member. This
will make it easy to discover Just how any
member voted and Just what he did, Insofar
as the records go. These pages have ben
sent to the members for verification and
In many lnstsnces a beautiful roar has
come back from the weeds, to which most
of the members took after adjournment
In thei meantime Mr. T. Cone continues to
use the room set arsrt for the chief clerk
as an office for private work.

The Influence of food upon the brain

Take a person who hss been living on
Improperly selected food and put him
upon a scientific diet In which the food
Grape-Nuts is largely used and the in
crease of mental power that follows Is
truly remarkable.
A Canadian who was sent to Colorado
for his health illustrates this point in a
most convincing manner:
One year ago I came from Canada a
nervous wreck, so my physician said, and
reduced in weight to almost a skeleton
and my, memory waa so poor that conver
sations had to be repeated that had taken
place only a few hours before. I was un
able to rest day or night for my nervous
system was shattered.
"The change of climate helped me a
little, but it waa soon seen that this was
not. all that I needed.' I required the
proper aelection of food, although I did
not realise it until a friend recommended
Grape-Nuts to me and I gave this food a
thorpugh trial. Then I knew what the
right food could do and I began to change
In my feelings and bodily condition.
"This kept up until now after months
use of Grape-Nuts all my nervous troubla
hss entirely disappeared, I have gained in
flesh all that I had lost and what Is more
wonderful to me then anything else my
memory Is as good aa it ever was.
"Grape-Nuts has remade me all over.
