Nebraska
Baptists Object
to Elder Huff
State Association Takes Action on
Naming of Prison
Chaplain.

LINCOLN, oct. 1.-The Nebraska Baptist
association at its annual convention, pro-
tested today AGAINST the appointment by
Governor Shallenberger of Elder l.. c..
Huff, a member of the Reorganized Church
Of Christ Of Latter Day Saints, as state
prison chaplain. The resolution is as fol-
lows;
Resolved, That as the governor
Of the state Of Nebraska has appointed a
Mormon elder as chaplain Of the state
p~enitentary; and inasmuch as this Is re-
sulting in the complete decentralization Of
the religious work in that Institution, and
is offensive to the Inmates; we, the mem
bers Of the Baptist state convention, do
hereby record our protest and our belief
that the religious work in state institutions
had been carried on in a generous and
Christian manner.
Similar action was taken recently by the
Lincoln Ministerial association.
The main line of the, Burlington railroad
west from Lincoln was blocked to all
traffic for ten hours today by the burning
Of two grain elevators at the village of
Denton in this city. In addition to the
elevators two business houses and a
residence were burned, with a total loss
Of between $50, 900 and $40, OOO.

the San Francisco Chronicle, I'VE have
heard Of a prominent citizen OF San An

trimmed out OF $4,000, actually went back
to his town and raised $1,000, which he
again invested In their scheme and lost.
He was taken In with the fake wrestling
match game, and after he had lost his
money he was told that It was too bad.
but that II he would raise some more
money he would hRve a chance to get back
what he had lost and some more in add
ton. The fake match was pulled off in
New Orleans, and the easy mark went
back TO San Antonio, where he mortgaged
his home and borrowed every cent he could
until he raised t1f 900. which. OF course,
went the same way as the preceding sum.
Altogether, with What he had spent on
training and other expenses, he was out

Watson Sues Liveryman,

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Oct. 7.-(Spe-
eial.)-John c, Watson. one of the leading
attorneys Of this city, last evening filed a
suit in the district court against Payne &
McCallum, who own and operate a livery
stable. He charges that they refused to
send him a hack when he ordered It and
have repeatedly ignored his orders for
vehicles and thereby caused him great loss
and mental anguish. The suit is a peculiar
one and is brought for the purpose of as
certaining whether or not a livery stable
keeper and one who run a general hack
and bus line are not required to send
vehicles when they are ordered and de
pended upon by the public. The defend
ants own the only hack and bus line in
the city and on them the citizens have to
depend when they want to make trains OF
go to and from various parts Of the city.

weak after an attack of typhoid
fever that he could scarcely

him on his feet. The second bot

and strength. He recommends it
to all who are weak and need
something to build them up.
Having read a great deal about Duff
fy's Pure Malt Whiskey, l decided to
try it, and cannot prase 1t too much.
