Chappell, Neb., Aug. 2. (Special.)
Several months ago S. S. Groves,
who lives north of here, refused $16,

he diif not.
He has finished cutting the wheat
on the 640 acres and estimates the
yield at thirty bushels to the acre, or
a total of 19,200 bushels. He is cer
tain to' receive $2 a bushel, which

John L. Sullivan on Overeating.
John L. Sullivan, the ex-pugilist,
says that more people die from Over
eating than from drink. One of the
most prominent physicians in England
says that is also the case over there.
No wonder that so many people are
troubled with indigestion. If you have
, trouble with your stomach adopt a
diet suited to your age and occupa
tion. , Then if you should have indi
gestion take Chamberlain's Tablets.
They strengthen the stomach and ert-
ablc it to perform its functions natu-rally.--Advertisement.

Nebraska Brigade Will Go to
Deming, N. M., Without
Mobilizing at Fort Crook
Lackof Adequate Water Sup
ply at Omaha Post Causes
( Change in Department
Plans.
Lincoln, Aug. 2. (Special Tele
gram.) It may be stated definitely
that the Nebiaska brigade will not
mobilize at Fort Crook as many have
been led to expect.
Latest plans call for sending the
three regiments direct to the training
camp at Deming, N. M., from the
respective home stations of the differ
ent companies. This means that they
will not rendezvous at any Nebraska
post. The reason for the change is
given as the lacfc of adequate water
supply at Fort Crook. f
According to present plans, there
fore, the 6,000 Nebraska Guardsmen
will be brought together at convenient
railroad junction points, where they
will entrain for the trip south. The
railroads are already assembling the
rolling stock to take care of this
movement.
No Sleeping Cars.
For the men regular coaches will
be provided, but not sleeping cars, and
it is figured that each coach will ac
commodate an average of about forty
men. It will require three to five sec
tions to move each regiment, for there
will have to be also separate sections
for the baggage and for the horses
and heavy equipment.
By following a carefully prepared
system it is believed the troop will be
transported to destination faster and
tlie tiring effects of the journey ma
terially lessened.
The mustering of the militia regi
ments into the federal service is in
progress and by Monday next, all will
be part of the United States army and
there will be no more Nebraska Na
tional Gu.ird.

U.S. TO ENFORCE THE
NEW BONEDRY LAW
Several Arrests Made Where
Omahans Have Brought
Liquor Into State from
St. Joseph.
Federal officers here are preparing
to prosecute to the limit violators of
the Reed amendment, the new "bone
dry" booze law which is now in ef
fect. The law makes it illegal to
bring or ship alcoholic liquor into the
state. It cannot be brought in for
one's own use or for some other per
son's use. It can't be shipped in as
baggage or by freight or by express.
It can't be given away or sold or dis
posed of in any other fashion.
Mr. and Mrs. Dan Gard, Forty-second

hands of the federal authorities
charged with bringing liquor here
from St. Joseph. Warrants are out
for three other Omahans, whose

have not yet been apprehended by the
United .states deputy marshals.
"We shall prosecute all such viola
tions, whether the persons are prose
cuted by the state or not," said As
sistant United States Attorney Sax

stitute a violation of the state law
which forbids having liquor in pos

amendment which forbids bringing or
shipping it into the state."
Several heavy suit cases full of
whisky, brandy, etc., are in the hands
of the federal prosecutors to be used
as evidence iir the cases.
