CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, June 2e.--lThe wheat market was
weak all day and tho volume Of trade was
small The ideal weather for harvesting was
again the dominating influence. Likelihood
that the movement Of the new crop which has
already begun in the southwest will probably
attain large proportions within the next two or
three weeks helped to depress prices. The re-
mort of a St Louis trade journal also caused
some selling late in the session. This report
said that while low yields are numerous, good
yields are plentiful and some sources report
yields beyond expectations with an outlook ior
a winter wheat crop considerably larger than
last year, Support from bullish leaders pre-
vented serious decline. The market closed
weak. July opened h@Nc lower to q shade

He said he was thoroughly familiar with
the ice company's property.
What did you consider the stock of the
ice company really and actually WORTH
he was asked.
II thought it worth fully par and its
earning capacity easily I per cent he
replied.
Exchanges Loans with Heinze.
Asked about the shift of loans between
the National Bank of North America and
the Mercantile National, Mr.. Morse said
Mr.. Heinze had applied to him for a loan
of $4,000, saying that Mr.. Curtis had told
him that the bank could not make the loan.
Mr.. Heinze had told him, Morse con-
tinuod, that he did not like to borrow for
himself from his own bank, and suggested
a shift of loans, offering to carry $500. 900
for the National Bank of North America.
Mr.. Morse then went on to tell now he had
the Primrose and Braun and Wilde notes
for $4,000 and another 500, OCO note taken to
the Heinze bank and accepted in exchange
for 100000 from the Mercantile in notes.

THE LAND OF WEAK KIDNEYS

1t is admitted that Bright's Disease Of
the kidneys causes more deaths in the
United States than In any other country;
that more than half of the sickness In
America is due to weak or diseased
kidneys.
We are a -kidneyed people, and
the reason is plain. Ambitious to enjoy
more than a mere living, to have all
the pleasures that our neighbors have,
anxious for wealth and success; we over
work, rest little, eat and drink unwisely,
and are ION the go" all the time.
This strenuous life OF today tells on the
kidneys. The human body was planned
I for a simpler life. There is just so much
work that each organ can do. The
kidneys filter our blood day and night
receiving II in a ceaseless stream, drain
ing off the poisonous impurities. THIS
duty is heavy enough I'm a normal average
| life. but when we work early and late,
give up rest and repose for enjoyment
! and retire late to troubled sleep, the work
Of the kidneys is increased enormously.
Every bit of energy consumed throws in
to the blood a quantity of waste like
the ashes of a fire, and If the using up
Is too rapid, the kidneys cannot keep
pace with Il. A cold, chill, fever, strain
or any excess may hasten the inevitable
breakdown. and as the circulation of
the blood never stops, the kidneys have no
time to rest, no chance to mend. SICK
kidneys cannot get well alone.
Omaha daily bee., 1908-10-31

The first warnings of kidney weakness
are dull, aching pain in the back, reten-
tion, excessive flow, discoloratfon or
scalding of the urine. This tells Of kid
ney congestion or inflammation. Neglect
the trouble and dizziness. nervousness
rheumatic pain and swollen ankles and
limbs. dimming Of the eyesight, sediment
In the urine, or fluttering of the heart will
mark the near approach OF dropsy, gravel,
ease.
Only I'm one way can kidney disorders
be checked and cured-by prompt treat
ment OF the kidneys themselves with a
special kidney remedy. Doan's Kidney
Pills are for the kidneys only. They cure
sick kidneys, clear and regulate tile urine,
relieve strain upon the heart and nerves,
and cure backache, rheumatic pain and
dizziness. They are recommended at
home by people you know.
OMAHA Proof
Mrs. Henry witt, living at 1901 Frank
lin St, Omaha. Neb, avs Mr.. Witt
has just as much confidence in Doan's
Kidney Pills today as when he publicly
endorsed them some years ago, as the
cure they have effected In his case has
proven 10 be a permanent one. Prior to
taking Doan's Kidney Pills he suffered
so acutely at times from pains In his
back It was quite impossible for him to
morning feeling tired and unrefreshed.
and little like beginning his days work
lie saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised
AT SchafeT's Cut Price Drug Store, pro-
cured a box, and after taking them a
short time was cured. He recommends
this remedy 10 his friends at every OPP
J portunity.

the State Railway commission. He called
the democratic caucus where it was agreed
to fight the criminal tax law enacted by
the last Legislature. He denounced the
proposition which increased the taxable
property of railroads last yea S9,000.oO0.
It is these facts which makes the calling
of a farmer brother farmer by Tom Allen
funny enough to cause a horse laugh.
There is one way the farmer, the busi~
ness man and tho professional man, the
laboring man and all other men can tell
whether state taxes have been unduly in
creased. Multiply. one-fifth of the total
valuation of his property by Al mills. That
gives the amount Of state taxes he will
have to pay. Compare that with the state
taxes paid last year.
Watching Keifer Campaign.
Considerable interest is being taken in
the candidacy of ]. Warren Keller, jr.,
nominee on the republican ticket for the
legislature from Nuckolls county. Mr.
Keifer, after his nomination for a second
term, was called to Lincoln to be chairman
OF the republican state committee and
therefore has had not one minute to de-
vote to his own campaign.
The republican leaders believe it would
be a loss to the state IL by reason Of his
absence from home MIR. Keifer fails to re-
ceive a majority Of the votes cast neat
Tuesday in his district.
Mr.. Keifer is thoroughly familiar with
the duties OF a legislator and is well
posted on the affairs of the state. He
was chairman of the finance committee
Of the last house and as such officer did
good work and became familiar with the
reeds Of the state and the state institu-
tons. He was a member of the committee
which drafted the railway commission bill;
he took an active part in passing the pri-
mary law, the terminal tax law, the anti
pass law, the anti-lobby law. In fact, Mr..
Keifer was one OF the leaders of the
house and he took a very prominent part
in the enactment Of all the reform lawl
of the last session.
1t is reported that the democrats of
Nuckolls county are making a hard fight
to prevent his reelection. II is impossible
for Mr.. Keller to leave the state head
quarters and go home and work in his
own interests. For that reason all Of the
officials around the headquarters are
watching the action OF the republicans Of
Nuckolls county. The committee officials
expect them to make good while Mr..
Keifer is making good for the whole
ticket.

is now being circulated is even more decep-
tive than at first ret out when 1t was
exposed in advance in The Bee. AS was
said at the time, these circulars are sent
out to the various counties for distribution
by the state committee officials, each batch
to appear as a local affair and was to be
signed "Anti-TaX League"
When the exposure was published the
democratic state committee got busy and
changed the circular in one respect. The
committee chopped off the signature. Sew
eraf of the circulars which have Travelled
out In the state and back to Lincoln show
where the signature has been cut off and
a portion Of 1t remains. On these few at
least the space between the signature and
the reading matter was too narrow to per-
NIT of a clean cutoff. So a portion of the
signature remains. The circular says 1t is
sent out by a committee of democrats and
republicans.
The circular talks about brother farmer
and assures him that he is being robbed
by paying too much taxes. This brother
farmer should be considered along with
the fact that it is Tom Allen saying
.'brother farmer Tom Allen got out the
circulars. He is abusing the railroads for
not paying their share of taxes, when his
name led all the rest when the pass list
of the Missouri Pacific was returned to

Mr.. Ridgeley in a written statement to
day declared that there was absolutely
no truth whatever in such a statement
The letters read during the trial, he said
show, instead of absolving Mr.. Mors,
from all responsibility, the bank had beer
severely criticised for The loans TO Mr.
Morse and the interests he represented
and when Mr.. Morse retired from the bank
the investigation which has led to this
trial was Immediately started by Mr.
Ridgeley, who was at that time comp.
troller of the currency.
Mr.. Ridgeley stated that he never at any
time discussed going into the banking
business with Mr.. Morse, except that Mr..
Morse asked him to accept the presidency
of the Mercantile National bank and he
absolutely refused to consider such a
proposition except on the condition hat
Mr.. Morse and Mr.. Heinze and all the
interests they represented would sell out
to Mr.. Ridgeley and his friends and that
they would purchase at least 10000 of
the 10000 shares of the capital stock OF

troller Ridgely in those conversations not
only absolvei Mr.. Morse from all RESPONSE
bility concerning the Affairs OF the National
Bank of North America, but even discussed
going into the banking business with him."
Protecting O~verdrafts.
Morse said that Mr.. Curtis, in suggesting
a way to settle the 500, 900 Whiting loan.
had agreed to charge off the $780, COO TO the
commission account" really profit and
loss and then give him a $40, 600 loan on
the collateral to balance the account. Sub
sequently, to his surprise, he said that the
ice had been credited to the banks own
purchases and sales account. The note
was still unpaid. He supposed that behind
the loan was the ice and copper stock. He
has told Receiver Hanna that he stands
ready to pay the $4,000 loan IL he would
put the ice back with the loan where it
should have been originally, he said.
He said the custom of covering daily
overdrafts with notes was one understood
at the bank, as he always had between
S6o0,O0O and $4,000. 600 in securities ac-
cessible to the banks officers. He said
nc Hidue the ONeTuTdII DelleNlnR II would
be cared for the same as formerly and
the demand note protected by the ample
securities" he carried in the bank, avail
able to all officers of the institution"
Morse said that since 1905 he had done
business to the extent OF SOS, 900, 600 with
the National Bank of America and his
pass Books show that he always kept IAN
average balance of a little less than $780,
000."

to the hold. The officers did not dare
to open the matches to combat the fire In

fan the flames. Holes were bored in the

president. With the facts In mind 1t takes
a very ordinary imagination for a person
to figure out how much harmony there is
in the democratic headquarters.
And right in the face of all this slashing
of candidates in the interest of Bryan comes
along a democrat and says Bryan expects
toA be the democratic candidate for senator
two years from now. This man said the
democrats are working overtime to elect a
.&najority of the Legislature so as to get n
and be ready when the Peerless
Leader calls on the party two years from
now to boost him into the senate.
This gives an idea Of how much conf
dence the democrats have in electing Bryan
next Tuesday. Right now in the demoeratlc
headquarters moves are being made with q
view OF eIecting and heading off Bryan as
a senatorial candidate. The information
comes too straight from those who know
to be doubted.
Intent to Deceive Voters.
Voters in Lancaster county are liable TO
be deceived by the appearance Of a po-
litical advertisement In the Lincoln Daily
Star and the Lincoln News and Journal.
The advertisement IL that of ]. e Miller.
who announces that he was nominated at
the recent primary for state senator. In
asmuch as all three Of the sheets named
pretend to be republican a reader would
naturally suppose the political advertise
ment Is from a republican. Such is not
the case. Mr.. Miller was nominated for
state senator by the democratic party Of
Lancaster county.

other things, he said in substance he re-

This Information came from the officers OF
the democratic state committee But when
j. e. Miller. who Is an advertiser In the
sheet. sent in his copy which tends to de-
ceive the voter. this Organized Missourian
evidently forgot TO edit It.
And so republicans OF Lincoln who take
these three shcets-the Journal, Star and
Newsstand read thai ]. Il. Miller says he
was nominated at the recent primary for
state senator, they will not know whether
he was nominated by the republicans or
democrats. He was nominated by the DEM
ocrats. The action OF the editor in falling
to edit this copy has caused a lot Of
work for republicans to offset y. But
then II might force some republicans TO
advertise and that's something, in the es-
timation of these republican sheets.
