my opinion. it is not orc Of vour du
ties to direct or control the seizure
of any contraband liquor, "goods,
wares, merchandise, or other prop
erty," nor are the constables made
your deputies for the execution and
enforcement of the dispensary law
The sections relating to such seiz.
ures and the disposition of the prop
erty arc Nos 81 and 38 of the act
approved March 5, 1897. Section
81 provides the manner in which
persons, claiming to be improperly
deprived of their goods, may seek
and get relief, and the courts of the
State are the tribunals therein men
toned to pass upon the question of
tho legality of the seizure.
Section 80 provides for the seizure,
confiscaton and sale of the property
by the officer entrusted with the pro-
cess. In cases Of seizure of liquors,
ETC., unless the bond provided for in
section 81 is executed in favor Of the
State board of control within the
time limited, the forfeiture becomes
complete and there is no remedy
provided in the dispensary law where.
by the claimant of the liquors can
recover them. But should the bond
be properly executed and filed, as
provided, the forfeiture is stay ad or
suspended until tho question Of the
liability of the liquor seibura is de-
termined by the magistrate or osher
court having jurisdiction. Of con-
traband liquor seized, in my opinion
the State board of control is merely
the trustee of the State actin as tho
custodian of tho liquors seized and
has no power to pass upon the rights
of the claimants nor to waive the
claim or the State to such COntraband
liquors.
Permit me to suggest that your
board has no general executive pow
ers, the powers Of the board being
exhaustively set out in the dlspen-
sary law. L may add that the Gov
ernor is the only general executive
officer of the State; iii fact, is prop.
erly called the chief executive. 1t is,
under the constitution, his duty to
have the laws Of the State executed
through such agencies az the consti
tuition and the statutes have provided.
Among the laws to be executed is

same period. Starting from the
same locality, each represent the
divergent flow of streams of settle
ment into contrasting environments
The result Of these antagonistic
streams Of migration to the West
was a struggle between the Lake and
Prairie plainsmen, on the one side,
and the Gulf plainsmon, on the other,
for the possession of the Mississippi
Valley. 1t WAS the crucial part of
the struggle between the Northern
and Southern sections Of the nation.
What gave slavery and State sover-
eignty their power as issues was tho
fact that they involved the question
of dominance over common territory
in an expanding nation. The place
Of the Middle West in the origin and
settlement of the great slavery strug-
gle is of tho highest Significance.

COMPLETE CHANGE
IS BROUGHT ABOUT.
STATE BOARD HAS NO RIGHT TO RE.
TURN SEIZED GOODS
Important Opinion or Attorney General
Reiiov'DE state of Much TirenUine
Wurk-The Text
[The state, 7th

A very material change in the exc
cntion of the State disponsary law
cane about yesterday by the Attorney
General in answer to n request from
|ihe chairman Of the State board Of
ffrectors. All along it has been sup
Ss ped that the power to return liquor
property seized by the constabu-
was vested in the State board
sS|sSH this board has been exercising
privilege. To fact much of the
of the board has been taken up
each meeting with the consider
zion of applications for the return Of
s eized goods. The Attorney General,
to state the result briefly, holds that
the State board has nothing whatever
to do with the matter, but that the
power of release of goods seized by the
constables rests solely with the Gov
enor of the State who appoints and
directs the work of the constables.
But here is the opinion addressed
to Chairman Williams, which brings
about the change and states the rea-
sons for the position taken by Mr..
Bellinger:
Dear Sir: You ask my opinion as
to the Jurisdiction Of your board in
cases Of claims made for the return
of "goo9s, wares, merchandise and
other property" seized under the
provisions of the dispensary law, the
contention Of the claimants being
that such seizure was unwaranted
and improper. You further ask
whether, in my opinion, you have
jurisdiction to consider claims made
for the release of horses, mules, wag~
ons, buggies, etc, used in the trans
portation of contraband liquor and
seized by the State constab'"s.
Replying, beg to say That I find
nowhere IN the statutes any power
given you, or duty imposed upon
you, to act iudicially in the case. In

FOOD AND WISDOM.
Brain workers Learn the secret.

Ambitious students who study hard
and try their best to gain an education,
frequently give down under the pressure
and are greatly disappointed when they
find they cannot carry out the cherished
desire of their life.
This result is nearly always caused by
the lack of the right kind Of food to
make UP the waste caused by excessive
brain work.
The average student does not know
how to select the right kind of food, but
food expert has been at work and has
produced a food especially intended to
nourish and rebuild the brain and the
nerve centers throughout the body. This
food is known at Grape-Nuts.
A student, Rosa Scott of Kenoma, Mo-,
says: II was very ambitious to succeed
at school, and started under favorable
circumstances with good health and
used what Is generally supposed to be
good, substantial articles of food, such
as meat, vegetables, etc.
II worked hard and soon became troub-
led with distress in my stomach noticed
confusion of thought and inability to
memorize. l found 1t almost Impossible
to study in the condition was in, and
resorted to medicine, but that did not re-
lieve me of my suffering. and l seemed
to grow worse. l was in despair until
one day friend who had passed through
a similar experience, told me TO stop
using medicine, and in place Of ordinary
food use Grape-Nuts Food. He said it
contained certain elements necessary to
rebuild the worn out tissues Of both
body and brain, and positively assured
me that If would use the food, I would
get we'll and be able to go on with my
work.
ut seemed too good to be true, and
at once began the use OF Grape-Nu
Food, with an egg for breakfast. For
the midday meal used four heaping
teaspoonfuls with some cream or milk
and nothing else. Then for the evening
meal used Grape-Nuts and fruit. Right
from the beginning, my sufferngs were
not so great, and gradually my strength
returned, and could see that my brain
was regainng its former activity.
'"rhese favorable symptoms continued
until I was entirely relieved from my
trouble, and am now stronger than I ever
was before. Can study ten or twelve
hours day with results that / feel are
a credit TO myself
IL would like TO have students all over
the world know OF tho powerful proper
ties contained IN Grape-Nuts Food ar
compared with any ordinary diet"
This sort OF experience teaches plainly
the fact that there n everything IN the
selection OF food II one desires 70 work
hard and make q Kuccean Ia this world
There IL probably no food known that n
AZ perfect for the rebuilding u the body
ana brain ~ lrapo-huts.

OUR BIG GOLD HOLDINGS.
Gross Gold In Treasury $4S2,D1 8, O23
Figures Break All Previous
Recorda.

Washington, March 15.-The gross gold
In the treasury yesterday amounted to
$4s2, s1S,O2S, compared with $416. 21s2 0s at the
same period last year. Yesterdays fig
ures break all records. The increase In
the gold holdings of the department dur
ing the year is s66,6S4,S14 At the depart
ment it is said the prospect that the gold
holdings will continue to increase at the
rate of probably S5,000,000 month, until
the new revenue law goes into effect.
The amendments TO this law will reduce
treausry receipts, ii is thought, about $40 =
100000 a year, but Treasurer Roberts
thinks that this will only serve to check
the growth Of the gold holdings, He does
not believe that the decrease in the re-
ceipts will diminish the amount of gross
gold.

THE MISSOURI PACIFIC.
To BE Greatest system of Southwest
Many Railroads to BE Under
Ifx Confr0l


Chicago. March 15.-The Times-Herald
tomorrow, will say:
Events OF the past few weeks have
made it certain that the Missouri Pacific
is shortly to be made the greatest sys-
tenn of the Southwest. With the Missouri
built UP and placed under one manage
ment, extending from Buffalo to New
Orleans FL Paso and Salt Lake City.
Such is the plan which is being worked
out by the Gould family, and It is equal
to the boldest scheme projected by the
late joy Gould.
The latest evidence in this respect is
the announcement that the Goulds have
acquired control of the Denver and Rio
Grande, and win soon have the Rio
Grande Western. 1t is also
understood that the Missouri Pa
cihc now has control of the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas. which ex-
tends from st. Louis Via Parsons and
Dallas, to Galveston, and that the 'Fris-
co, extending from st. Louis south to
Paris and southwest to Oklahoma will
soon be acquired by the Goulds.
By these purchases the Missouri Pa
cific win not only extend its western
limit TO Ogden, tut VIII occupy the
mountain passes to an extent that will
make 1t difficult for other roads to Sc
cure ingress on a profitable footing.
The Missouri Pacific is In close rela-
tons with the Union Pacific and other
properties under syndicate control, and
will, therefore be in a position to work
tremendously west from Salt Lake City
to Ell Paso. Mr. Gould's present Western
trip and inspection of railroad properties
is said to be the concluding preparation
for the unification of this great South
western system. This condition would
make a system covering 1886 miles.

Fort Meade, S. D.--Just as soon as pos
slbIe this spring the New York Museum
OF Natural History will resume the ex-
cavation work Of the bones found on this
military reservation, which belong to an
extinct animal known as the dlnosaur, or
lizard. The bones were discovered last

vey OF the United States. The expedi-
ton sent out by the New York Museum
excavated number of the bones Some
OF the smaller ones have been shipped
East. The largest bones will remain
where discovered. They have been in
cased in plaster OF paris and thick paper
to prevent them from crumbling by the
frosts OF winter. The large bones are
very heavy and brittle, being impregnated
with iron and silica.
Prof. Weland. one Of the greatest au-
thorities on fossil bones OF this kind, af-
ger carefully examining those found on
this reservation. declares chat they were
left there at least 100000 years ago one
OF the largest bones exposed Is femur
which Is ten feet long and the smallest
diameter is twelve inches. II is very
heavy, and will probably have to be re-
moved In sections. Bones Of smaller
animal OF the same species have been
found In the same place. Prof. Weiland
estimates that the length OF the longer
one was eighty feet and the shorter one
six feet. Almost all OF the bones have

There will be several carloads OF bones
