STRANGER THAN FICTION
A Remedy which Has RevOlutiOnize6

A Remedy which Has RevOlutiOnized
the Treatment of stomach Trouble.
The remedy Is not heralded as a wonder
full discovery, nor yet a secret patent medi-
cine, neither is 1t claimed to cure anything
except dyspepsia, indigestion and stomach
troubles with which nine out of ten suffer.
The remedy is in the form of pleasant
tasting tablets or lozenges, containing vege-
table and fruit essences, pure aseptic pep
sin Government tesD, golden seal and
diastase. The tablets are sold by druggists
under the name of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
let's. Many interesting experiments to test
the digestive power of Stuart's Tablets
show that one grain Of the active principle
contained in them is sufficient to thor
oughly digest 1900 grains Of raw meat, eggs
and other wholesome food.
Stuart's Tablets do not act upon the
bowels like after dinner pills and cheap
cathartics, which simply irritate and in
fame the intestines without having any
effect whatever in digesting food or curing
indigestion.
II the stomach can be rested and assisted
in the work of digestion It will very soon
recover its normal vigor. as no organ is so
much abused and overworked as the
stomach.
This is the secret, IL there is any secret.
of the remarkable success Of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets a remedy practically I'M
known a few years ago and now the most
widely known OF any treatment for stom-
| ach weakness.
This success has been secured entirely
upon its merits as a digestive pure and
| simple, because there can be no stomach
| trouble II the food is promptly digested.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act entirely on
| the food eaten, digesting 1t completely, so
that 1t can be assimilated into blood, nerve
and tissue They cure dyspepsia, water
brash. sour stomach, gas and bloating after
meals, because they furnish the digestive
power which weak stomachs lack, and I'M
less that lack is supplied 1t is useless to at
| tempt to cure by the use of 'tonics, -
pills" and cathartics which have abso-
lutely no digestive power.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets can be found
at all drug stores and the regular use of
one or two OF them after meals will dem
onstrate their merit better than any other
/ argument.

crossing field with a threshing outfit
when the engine set fire 10 the stubble
The flames, famed by a strong south wind
soon enveloped Strough and his team. Be
coming exhausted from heat and smoke
he fell from the machine and was rescued
by several other threshing men who were
following close behind. He was seriously
burned about the face and body, but it is
thought he will recover. The threshins

FARMER SHOOTS MS NEIGHBoR
Man who Does Shooting surrenders

10 SheE1u.
HARRINGTON, Neb, Oct 3-(Special
Telegram.)-A serious shooting ARRAY oc-
CURED nine miles southeast of Harrington
last night about s o'clock in which John
Schievers, a young farmer, was shot in
the hip, the ball from a S2-caliber revolver
passing entirely through the right leg
The shooting was done by a neighbor,
Roy Rankin, who came to Harrington last
night at II o'clock and gave himself up to
Sheriff Rosenberger and told what he had
done The trouble started some weeks
ago when Schevers took exception to some
remarks 1t is alleged Rankin made about
his wife. Rankin went to the Sehievers
home last night to get a neckyoke belong
ing to him, and the quarrel was renewed.
Rankin alleges he started home when
schievers threw a stick at him, and in the
darkness he thought Schievers was coming
toward him, and at a distance of fifty
feet he drew his gun and fired. Schievers
was shot in the back of the leg, which
indicates he was not coming toward Ran
kin. The injured man is getting along
well and will recover unless complications
set in.
A warrant will probably be issued for
Rankin tomorrow and he is today hunting
bondsmen and will probably waive prellmi-
nary examination, The affair has caused
intense excitement I'm the east part OF the
county where the parties are well known.

Railroad Management in Nebraska.

Railroad Management in Nebraska.
GLENWOOD, Ia, Oct. 2.-To the Editor
of The Bee: II the substitution by Mr..
Breen, inadvertently, no doubt, of one
word for another calls forth from the gen
eral attorney of the Burlington in Ne
braska some remarks on English compost
ton, etc, he still has left the main charges
which were urged by Mr.. Breen I'M
answered:
First-That Nebraska railroads could kill
passengers at 5000 per capita.
Second-That this amount was never
paid, and that the usual plan is to weary
the relatives of the victims by intermina-
BILE litigation. and thereby force them TO
accept by way Of settlement any paltry
sum-often N,00o-which the legal depart
ment of the railroad saw fit to give them.
Third-That the railroads pay practically
no municipal taxes, as the following figures
will show:
Total municipal taxes 1904, S2,056, 242.19.
Total railroad and telegraph, $S4,s56.7s.
Thus the real estate owners pay 961 per
cent, and railway and telegraph lines 3s
per cent, or, eliminating telegraph lines.
the railroads pay but fraction over per
cent.
There are many republicans who are
dissatisfied with the above state of affairs
and are turning to a study of state or gov
ernmental ownership as a solution OF the
question. E. B. BROWN.

Military Drill at High school.

OMAHA. Oct. 2-To the Editor of The
Bee: Being a cadet in the Omaha High
school, 1 would like to express an opinion
on a matter which a week or so ago was
being considered in a good many homes
OF this city and which, at the beginning
of every school year to come, will be con-

There are not many boys who really en-
Joy drill. They drill because they are COM
PEELED to by the school, or TO get a credit
point which they could in some other study
in the same time. and out OF which they
would obtain more benefit.
Then, there is tho question OF money.
Many families in this city cannot AFFORD
to pay Sl425 for uniform each year, when
there are the other clothes OF the boy to
purchase also. The uniforms are so ex-
cessively hot and uncomfortable as to al
most compel a boy to have civilian clothes
to wear when not drilling. boy is ex-

WOODNEN HEARING NOW ON
Attorney General Seeks TO Show Reserve
Was Not Returned BY Assessor.
COUNTY INSISTS ALL PROPERTY IS TAXED
Inheritance Tax Case and Appeal in
Cigarette Case, Both from Omaha,
Argued in the Supreme
Court.
CFrom a STAR Correspondeat)

LINCOLN, oct s.-(special This after
noon, In the ONCE Of Attorney General
Brown, testimony in the case involving
the taxation Of the woodmen Of the World
reserve was taken before Minor Bacon,
who had been named a special commits
sioner by the supreme court County As
SCISSOR Reed of Douglas county, County
Clerk Drexel and Secretary G. D. Ben
nett Of the State Board Of Equalization
and Assessment were on the stand for the
purpose of Identifying the records which
will be offered in evidence. 1t is believed
that the argument will be made before the
supreme court Monday, October 16 al
though further evidence may be taken in
the event either party wishes 1t.
Attorney General Brown spent consider
able time in the examination Of County
Assessor Reed, -endeavoring to bring out
an admission that he had deducted the
100000 reserve and the cash in the bank
when making the assessment. II develops
that the state is proceeding on the theory
that this property was omitted altogether
from the original assessment and, there
fore, could be included whenever the
omission was discovered, without resort
ing to the formality of an appeal from
the assessment. II is stated that Drexels
theory appears to be that the assessment
which was made, amounting to T,66s, pur-
ported to cover the entire amount OF prop
erty returned, and that, therefore, the
state board should have appealed from the
assessment In the regular way, instead of
bringing mandamus proceedings.
Although Reed evaded the question the
attorney general believes that the record
shows that the assessment made by Reed
applied only to the 5000 furniture item
and the $50, 81 OF receipts. The return of
the association included four items. the
two assessed and t201s5 90 reserve in
vested and $402, 1905 in various Omaha
banks. 1t is urged now that the records
show plainly that the last two items were
left out OF consideration entirely.
Inheritance Tax Case Submitted.
The inheritance tax case was submitted
this afternoon before the supreme court.
The suit arose out Of the refusal of County
Judge -vinsonhaler TO appoint appraisers
for the estate of Frank Murphy on tho
ground of alleged unconstitutionality, and
takes the form OF mandamus proceedings.
County Attorney Slabaugh commended that
the act providing for the collection of in
heritance taxes is valid. that 1t is a tax
On transfers and not on property, and,
therefore, does not violate the uniformity
clause of the constitution. He denied the
contention Of Attorney Pritchett for Vim
sonhaler, that the law violated the state
and United States constitutions.

Of the act where it sought to impose the

Secretary Royse of the State Banking
Board said today that no commercial banks
will be permitted to operate savings de-
partments without organizing new corpora
tions with separate capital stock. He
stated that two important banks in the
state have violated the statute in this re-
spect, but he believes It was due to care
lessness or lack of knowledge as to the
provisions of the banking laws, which
would render them subject to forfeiture
of their charters for doing unauthorized
business and subject their officers to pun
ishment.

New York. July 9.-Expressing the
belief that the present trustee ar

a real solution of the society's differ
ences has not been reached. George
Westinghouse has suggested new
plan for stock control Of the society.
by 5000 r.olicy holders the PROPOSE
ton is that the society's stock shall
consist Of 5000 shares of $40 each in
stead of 1000 shares of s10o each :
that one Of these shares shall be sold
to each CT the 5000 largest policy
holders and that only policy holders
shall become directors.
Mr.. Westinghouse said:
Il believe the plan would result in
the selection of 5000 Of the most in
f1uential policy holders as candidates
for the position Of directors and would
tend greatly to strengthen the society
in rhe estimation Ct the public.

former congressman from this district.
father OF Gen. Funston, was today
in the police court found guilty of dis
turb.ng the peace and with having car
ried concealed weapons. He was fined
s. on each charge and the costs of the
suits were charged against him. max
Ing total Of $3i.55.
The charges against Funston grew
out OF the wrecking by dynamite by a
temperance fanatic on July 10 of three
lola saloons. The explosions followed
an agitation against the saloons, in
which Governor Hoch was appealed to
in an effort to secure the enforcement
of the state prohibition .aw. Intense
excitement followed the act of the dy-
namiter, and for three days the
city was crowded with people who
came from other places i'm the state to
view the wreckage and hunt for the
dynamiter. During the height of the
excitement, Funston. it was charged,
had made infiammatory utterances to
crowds that gathered about him on the
streets. When patrolman Cannon
tried to persuade Funston to desist a
quarrel arose between the two men and
Funston, it was alleged, attempted to
draw Il revolver.
Funston was arrested and formal
charges made against him, after which
he was released upon his own recogni-
Zance.
The loss caused by the explosions
was extimated at 100000 and the al
legged dynamiter, c. L. Melvin. is still
at large. although a warrant has been
issued for his arrest and hundreds of
men have searched for him.
Funston's attorney immediately filed
motion of appeal to the district court.
There We're but few persons in the
court room at the time and there was
no show of a demonstration.
