out their brains and bodies,-a useless
waste of energy and life. Pabst Malt
Extract, the "Best" Tonic, will bring
sleep to you-you will nestle to slunlber

fore going to bed, and in ten minutes
YOU will go drowsily to Sunderland.
After a week or SO sleep will come nat
urally and you wont need the Tonic.

and the heavy-laden, for PABST MALT

No" said President Everett. We are

dispute about wages or hours of work. A
strike would follow. The 100000 employees
in the postal service would stop work. II
they were inclined to be disorderly, ali
the police and soldiers in the country
could not keep them under
But distress would not wait for dlsor-
der. The most quiet and peaceable in
terruption of the mail service would
paralyze business and carry CONSERVATION
into every home. The well-oiled ma
chinery OF governmental postoffce
works SO smoothly that we do not realize
how much we should suffer If 1t were
subject to the jars and dislocations IN
separable from corporation management.
To small extent the people of Brook.
Ign, and to large extent the pe1sle of
Cleveland, can appreciate the inconveni-
ences of corporate control of public util-
tiles. In Cleveland a strike on single
street car system has brought about alb
solute anarchy. made every citizens life
unsafe, and reduced a great city to the
humiliation of living under martial law.
IL the street railroads had belonged to
the municipality there would have been
no strike and no occasion for one. There
would have been no need to talk about ar
bitration. compulsory or voluntary, then.
Who ever heard of a strike on the
bridge cars when they were run by the
cities of New York and Brooklyn?
Who ever hears of strike on a police
force now?

NEBRASKA REGIMENT LANDED.
Given nm Ovation by Admitting
Eriends md nelm tiXes.

San Francisco, July 3i-The Nebraska
regiment landed from the transport Han
cock this morning and marched to the
Presidlo, where they went into camp pre-
paratory to being mustered out. An i'm
mense crowd OF people lined the streets
and cheered the war-worn veterans.
Whistles were blowing. bells ringing and
cannon fred from the time the men started
until they passed from the business sec
ton out to the Preside. Market street
had been cleared of all traffic. General
Shafter had provided an escort OF artillery
and this body of soldiers, with band,
headed the procession. The men were
cheered to the echo as they passed along
the line of march, but the sight of the
battle flag of the Nebraskans aroused all
the enthusiasm the spectators could mus
ter.
The hospital corps brought up the rear
OF the Nebraskans and seated In the
wagons were several wounded men. Then
came the Utah light artillery, and the well
come they received was fully as demon
strative as that given their predecessors.
Bringing up the rear of the procession
was troop Il of the sixth cavalry and
Third artillery.
In the reviewing stand on VanNess ave-
nue. were General Shafter. Governor Poyn
ter OF Nebraska and several members or
his stan. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
and their friends and ladies'.
As the Nebraska and Utah boys passed
the stand they cheered for General Shafter
and Governor Poynter.
Everything was in readiness for the
reception Of the soldiers at the Presidio.
The camp had been partially prepared by
them and By night they were comfortable
They will remain in camp until they are
mustered out the exact date not yet being

FilipinOs Are Unorganiged Bandits

Chicago, July 31.-Lieutenant Edward
Kelly, of the volunteer signal corps, just
returned from Manila, is in this city.
He said tonight The newspaper
stories have been greatly exaggerated.
There is no organized rebellion In the
Philippines. There are few bands OF
Filipinos continuing the BUSH whacking
fighting but they never make a stand
against the American troops.
When we have enough troops TO gar
rison the towns and maintain order, what
is now left of the Instruction will disap-
pear, General Otis is a hard working
man. He can be found at his office from
6 a. m, until midnight. 1t is my opinion
it will require at least 100000 men to hold
the islands.
