THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, FATHER AND CHILD REUNITED ets Out of Tabitha Home by the Aid of Btate BoarJ of Oharities. RAILROAD MAGNATES VISIT THE CITY Program of the State Falr Days Indi. eates the Week Will He an Inters esting Onc—Prospects for Fine Exhibit, (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Aug. 2.—(Special)—After a separation of eleven years Henry Brownlee of Canon City, Colo and his ghter, Elste Brownide, aged 17 years, have been reunited through the Instrumentality of Bocretary Davis of the State Board of Charfties and Correctfon. The girl was taken from the Tabitha home of this eity, where she had been for two years, two months of which time against her wiil, by Secretary Davis, who was two months ac- complishing the task, without appealing to the courts. The girl left for her Colorado home Monday night. Elsie Brownleo was placed in the home, which"is a charitable institution, by her mother, who had separated from her hus- band some years previous. Two months ago the attention of Governor Mickey was called to the girl by a letter sent him from her father, asking that she be returned to him. The letter was turned over to Mr. Davis for Investigation. Later Mr. Brownlee wrote the secretary, stating that he had his wife's consent for the removal of the girl from the home and inclosed with the letter was one from the mayor of Canon City, stating that Brownlee was in every way capable and able of taking care of the girl and that he bore an excellent reputation. It was evident from the father's letters that he belleved the Tabitha home was a house of correction and that it required an order from the gov- errior to secufe the release of any one from it. Demand was made upon Superintendent Helner for possession of the girl and those making the demand were glven to under: stand in diplomatic language that it was none of their business whether the girl was released or not. Several weeks later Mr. Davis secured the girl's release, At first the girl would not talk with those who were working for her restora- tion to her father, but as her' confidence in them grew her story gradually came out. Her father and mother formerly lived at Beatrice and later removed to Canon City, where they separated. The girl re- mained with her mother until two years ago, when she was placed in the Tabitha home, the mother giving authority to the superintendent to keep her until she be- came of age. In the home the girl was employed as a bread maker and it was due to her pro- ficlency In that art, she told, that Buper- intendent Heiner did not want to give her up. Raflroad Magnates in City, The presence in Lincoln of George B. Harris, president of the Burlington system, M. M. Kirkman, vice president of the Northwestern, and Charles G. Dawes, ex- comptroller of the currency, as guests of the Country club today, gave rise to many rumors and has created much speculation, Mr. Dawes and Mr. Harris were formerly of Lincoln, but Mr. Kirkman is here for the first time, Mr. Dawes is traveling as the guest of Mr. Harrls and the two came in on a special train. At the Lincoln hotel the party was met by 8. H. Burn- ham and ¥rank W. Brown of the Country club, The men denied that their visit here. at the same time was significant. Mr. Harris said; “I"just came In for a few days' visit at my mother's home. She fs now at Bus- sard's Bay and writes me that she is well, I don't know anything in raflroad affairs that would Interest anyone and my visit here has nothing to do with rallroad mat- tel Mr. Kirkman has been traveling in the northwest with his family and he denled that he was here on rallroad business, 1 am in Lincoln simply for a pleasure trip, he said, “for the first time in twelve years. 1 aid not know that Mr. Harris was here and therefore our visit here ai the same time can have no significance.” Inasmuch as a story was published here some time ago that the rafiroads had an eye on the Lincoln hotel to make that a union station, i§ was the general bellef that these men were Here to look over the ground and do a little investigating. Program for the Falr. Nebraska state fair dates for 1903, Sep- tember 4 to 11, are close at hand. Secre- EE—— COULD COOK But Couldn’t Eat, ' A man who bas seen many years' salling as cook on the “Inland Seas,” as the Qreat Lakes are called, has learned a thing or two about food as the following story shows: “I am & cook on the Great Lakes and have for five years suffered more than pen or tongue could tell from stomach trouble and have taken medicines enough to float the boat I sall in, and yet without any Tellef from pain. \ “There were long stretches of time when 1 could not even keep milk or wine or the lightest kind of food on my stomach and I bad fallen away from 146 to 105 pounds in loss than two years. I saw so much In the newspapers about your food, Grape- Nuts, that one day I decided to try It, ai- though without the least hope of succoss. “So 1 bouglit & package in Cleveland and made the trial and my stomach was #0 cranky 1 was afrald to try more than one teaspoonful with a little milk. To my surpriso 1 kept it on my stomach without any bad feelings and at the end of an hour 1 knew it had digested and gone to the right spot, so I tried two teaspoonfuls more with the same result. And now for the past seven months I have lived almost entirely on Grape-Nuts where before I simply lved on medicines which consisted principally of oplates that relleved me for & tme, but shattered my nerves and weak- ened my stomach. “Soon after 1 began Grape-Nuts I ‘u‘i wp all medicines, for 1 saw that Grape- Nuts was remaking me. Now my nerves wre back in thelr proper shape and my stomach is so strong 1 can eat almost any ¥ind of fopd without any suffering what- ever, “It may interest you to know that your food is very fine in cases of seasickness, for in this lMne It has no equal. In many cases of very rough water 1 have given Grape- Nuts to people on my boat who were sea- slck, when the sight of even coffee would be unbearable, but a few teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts prepared with only water was taken and more asked for and given with perfect results. “You never saw two healthier or happler youngsters than my two grandchildre: who eat nothing else for breakfast or sup per but Grape-Nuts There are two other men on my boat besides myselt who eat nothing else but Grape-Nuts for breakfast Had it not been for this perfect food I would now be dependent on my relatives for suppert. The fellows on the boat make fun of me when they see me coming slong with my little yellow package, but I guess under the glreumstances I ean afferd to teveh with them.™ tary Furnas has opened his Lincoln office at the Lindell hotel, where it will remain until théd morning of the 4th, after which N will be on the fair grounds. Early in the week the members of the board will be gnthered In Lincoln, the superintendents of departments will be early on the ground and the preliminary work will begin prac- tically with the present week. Superin- tendent of Concessions S8impkins, who also has charge of Merchants' Hall, has his office already opened on the falr grounds. Master of Transportation O. M. Druse will have his office on the grounds opened within the next two or three days, and the board of managers will have a repre- fentative at the secretary’s office from this fime on, looking after its part of the work. Friday and Saturday of this week will be devoted to assembling the great volume of exhibits in all departments, and the gates will be open for visitors on Monday morn- Ing the 7th, when for five days the fair will be on In full force. Monday will be Lincoln day and Labor day at the falr grounds. Public offices and business houses In Lincoln will close the greater part of the day, giving every- one an opportunity to visit the fair. The labor organizations will attend the fair In large numbers during the afternoon. Tues- day will be Cresceus day. On that day, In addition to the other good speed” attrac- tions, this notable horse will trot against his record, which until a few days ago was the world's record for trotting. The tact that this horse's record has been low- ered will be an incentive to his owner to make a particular effort to beat his record, and a remarkably fast trot can be ex- pected. Wednesday will be Fraternity day and the different fraternal organizations in Nebraska will be out in large numbers. Competitive drills between different or- ganizations will be a feature of the day's entertainment, and there will be bands In abundance, and parades and demonstra- tions of the most attractive order. Thurs- day, always a great day at the fair, will have some special attractions in races, and on Friday the grand stock parade will oceur. There s no question but the fair of 1803 will be a record breaker in volume of ex- hibits, in attendance, and in attractive features to iInterest the people. Over double the amount of money is given for racing this year over that appropriated a year ago; and there will be the largest lot of good horses In the speed carns ever gathered before In the state, The races every day will be good, starting Monday with four strong races and ending Friday with an equal number. Stock entries are beyond all precedent already, and notwith- standing the fact that new bulldings have been added to the already commodious ar- rangements for stock men, the overflow is on; and two large tents have already been engaged to accommodate late comers. The agricultural exhibit will be the larg- est in years, and while the fruit crop in the state 1s a short ope, Horticultural hall will nevurtheless be one of the most at- tragtive bulldings on the grounds. In every department entries are already from %0 to 60 per cent. greater than heretofore, and there will be no bullding that will not be completely filled and all space taken. The one fare for the round trip from all points in Nebraska will commence on the 5th, the selling dates extending to the 11th inclusive, with tickets good to return on the 12th. The different rallroads center- ing in Lincoln have arranged special sched- ules for excursion trains, commencing Tuesday morning of fair week; and the fair management |18 making every effort to impress upon fthe rallroads the impor- tance of meeting the extra demands that will be made on them for transportation. Plans for Power Plant. A dispatch recetved here today states that the Westinghouse Flectric-and Manufac- turing company ia getting out plans, esti- mates and specifications cn scontracts for the complete olectrical equipment of a new electric power plant at Niobrara, Neb., a franchise for the construction of which has been granted. The plgns ‘nclude a wing dam in the Nlobrara river near its mouth to carry & large part of the current through a channel around Niobrara island. The specifications indicate that an enor- mous amount of electrical current can be developed for power purposes through the use of water motors to generate electricity and transmit current to consumers within avallable territory, both for power and lightmg. It is hoped to secure under these plans the maximum amount of energy with the minimum waste of water and least possible leakage of electricity in trans- mission by using the latest improved pat- tern of machinery. Figures of the estimate are not given out and will not be until contracts are approved and executed. Tt 1s stated, however, to be $200,000. The enterprise to which this dispatch soems to relate s known in the office of the state engineer as the Niobrara River Power company, which flled an application for water rights some two months ago. It is filed In the name of Clarence E. Plum- mer of Minneapolls, and it was claimed at the time that it was filed that it had ample capital behind it and meant business. The plan contemplates the use of a system of patent current motors which are to be placed fn the stream to be carridd through an old channel of the Niobrara near its mouth. Each of these motors is expected to afford a specific amount of power and as many of them can bo utilized as the amount of power demanded will require. This is but one of the power producing enterprises claiming rights at that point, which may conflict. One of them, the Niobrara Irrigation and Water Power com- pany, has been granted water rights prior to the application of this one, and there is still another application pending. Jogxing the Departments. Lincoln people will shortly be advised as to why the work on the new federal bulld- ing has not begun. To find out Congress- man Burkett left this afternoon for Wash- ington. Thus far the plans for the bulld- Ing have not even been completed, though the date for actual beginning of the con- struction s almost here. Repeated letters to Washington have falled to find the cause of the delay. While in Washington the First district congressman will try to learn the reason for the delay of the Postoffice department in establishing the new rural mall delivery routes which have been located. About six weeks ago the Inspector of the department finished a tour of the district and located enough additional routes to have practl- cally gridironed the district. Recently the fourth asalstant postmaster general, who has charge of the rural mall service, ruled that there must be 100 houses om a Youte before a carrler would be installed. This cut out many of the Nebraska routes, leav- ing the prospects for extensions of this service under a cloud. In order to comply with the terms of the order it would be necessary to rearrange the routes laid out some time ago with the result that an- other long delay would ensue. Mr. Burkett will make an effort to have the carriers started on the routes at once. It is generally belleved among congress- men that the fourth assistant postmaster general takes his stand on the matter to protect the fourth class postoffices which have been greatly affected by the extension of the rural mafl service. More than twenty fourth class postoffices have been discon- tinued In consequence of the extension of the rural mail service Bysn is in Barsest. That Robert Ryan meant it when he applied for an injunction during the late legislature to prevent the members of that august assembly from drawing pay for more than forty duys at & a day, is new past conjecturs, Mr Rysn won out in the lower court and has today flled in the supreme court his answer to the brief of Auditor Weston. Mr. Ryan recites the work of the legls- lature that firet decided lost the proposition voted upon to amend the state constitu- tion and then ordered a recount which re. sulted 4n the adoption of the amendment The amendment voted upon November 2, 1886, was to increase the pay of the legls- lators from $3 to % a day and their term of office from forty to sixty days. The brief recites that the highest number of votes cast at that election was 138,511 The required majority for the passage of the amendment was 69,266 There was cast for it as shown by the abstract of votes filed in the office of the secretary of state, .72 Therefore the amendment falled of passage by 3,544 votes. These abstracts were canvassed by the legislature of 1887 and having declared the amendment lost the canvassing board adjourned sine dle. On the fortieth day of the session the brief sald there was passed a bill ordering a recount of the votes cast. By the pro- visions of this act the county clerks of the various countles were ordered to send to the secretary of state all the ballots and poll books returned by such judges and clerks of elections. Inside of six days after the bill became a law a board com- posed of the secretary and auditor of the state and two senators and three represen- tatives, canvassed the vote and declarel the amendment carrfed. Thig work fs designated In the brief as “the greatest work ever accomplished in six days—the creation of the universe alone excepted.' When it became known to the senators and representatives in the late legislature that Mr. Ryan had asked for the injunc- tion, such a grand rush was made for the auditor's office that Mr. Ryan was con- strained to come to tfie state house and assure the members that he was willing to walt untll the adjournment of that session before pushing his case. He has been pushing 1t hard ever since the session closed. Object to Paying Scott Clalm. In a brief filed today in the grand lodge of the United Workmen states to the court why it should not pay the Insurance on the Iife of Barrett Scott, the defaulting Holt county treasurer, who was killed by citi- zens of that county, The statement of facts shows that Bcott was a member of the lodge In which he held a ber~fAciary certificate payable to his wife for $2(i0. At the time Scott joined, it was compulsory on the part of the lodge officers to notify each policy holder when an assessment gvas due. January 1, 1S, this law was changed that each member pay $1 & month unless notified not to do so by the legal paper of the order or some other way designated by the grand lodge. Jn June, 1893, Scott deposited with the financier of the local lodge $5 to be applied on his assessments as they came due. In August of the same year Scott !s reported to have absconded from the county fin which he lived and until October 10, 1893, his whereabouts were unknown. TIn Bep- tember of that year the financler of the local lodge returned tq [Mrs. Scott the re- mainder of the 5 that had not been applied on the assessments and took her receipt for the same. This was done In order that Scott could be suspended from the lodge because of the criminal proceedings insti- tuted against him, and that It might not be necessary for the lodge to expel him. Scott resided at O'Nelll until December 10, 184, when he was waylald and killed without having tried to be relnstated in the lodge. Supreme Court Calendar. The offictal trial list for the first ses- slon of the supreme court in the fall term, September 15, will be issued on September 2, and will include all of the cases in which rehearings have been allowed, which have not already gone to trial, and all of the cases continued from former terms, In T ular numerical order, up to and including general No. 13066, which was the last case upon the docket of the past (January) term. As nearly as it is possible now to esti- cases will be called Curing the fall term, as follows: For session of October 6, cases rumbered 13069 to 13156 will be called for trial.

DEFIERS GO FREE M erat: & Ends the Trouble Arising from Cattle Ordinance in Village of Bellevue, PAPILLION, Neb, Aug. 20.—(Speclal)— Benton Lewls, Jesse McCarty and four other cattlemen; arrested at Béllevue charged with resisting an officer, were re- leased and the case dismissed on account of rome misunderstanding Letween the court and the prosecuting attorney. The trouble started over some stock. It has been the custom at Bellevue to allow the citizens to herd six head each within the town limits. The cattlemen soon in- creased the size of the herds, and the stock became so numerous as to destroy small trees and lawns. An ordinance was then passed prohibiting stock running loose in town. This xtarted the trouble. Citizens vowed that they would not obey the ordinance, and openly expressed thelr eontempt for it. Charles Patrick, the town marshal, attempted to impound the cattle, and finally succeeded In running in a large bunch. One night a party of the cattle- men made a call upon Patrick, selzed him, stripped him of his revolvers and ordered him to release the stock at once. They were released very promptly. The next day Patrick tried to round up the cattle agaln, but the men were too much for him and stampeded the cattle. He then at- tempted to arrest the cattlemen, but they resisted, refusing to recognize the mar- shal's authority. Patrick then came to Paplllion and swore out warrants for the arrest of Lewls, Mc- Carty and four other: CENTRAL CITY SHOWS SITES State Normal Board Visits the Merrick County Town and is Royally Entertained, CENTRAL CITY, Neb, Aug. 20.—(Spe- c'al.)—The normal board arrived here today irom the north, and was met at the depot by a reception committee.

Good Prospect for Republicans. IMPERIAL, Neb. Aug. .—(Speclal)— The political situation is beginning to warm up. The republican county convention is called for Saturday, September 5, and there seems to be an unusually good feeling man- ifest and a harmonious convention will be the result.

The democrats and populists will fuse in this county on the county offices, but there seems to be a lack of the old-time en- thuslasm between them, and from the pres- ent outlook thelr comvention, which is called for September 12 will be rather a warm affair and very lable to leave some sare spots.

SPEAKS A KINDLY WORD FOR WEBSTER Does Not See Any Hrilllant Prospect of Democracy Carry! Nat) Election—Party Too Much Divi CHICAGO, Aug. 20.—~(Special Telegram.)-- Governor A. B. Cummins of Iowa will be satisfied with running for re-election to his present office without seeking the nomi- nation for vice president. At the Audi- torium today he said emphatically that he has no aspiration to become a running mate to President Roosevelt In the next campaign. “1 have no desire for the position sald. “Nebraska has a candidate for the vics presidency in John L. Webster, who is well known to the lawyers of the state. There has been some talk of my state being,given the honor of choosing the nominee, but I am not after the place.” On the chances the democratic party has of victory, Governor Cummins argued that the only hope of the party lles in unity. “Unless a conservative candidate is named on a conservative platform and both are supportéd by Mr. Bryan, the democrats have no show,” he sald. “Mr. Bryan is weak about equally with Mr. Cleveland. Nelther can lead the party to victory, but the support of both is needed by the nominee. If there s absolute unity it won't be a foregone conclusion that the repub- licans will win. I think Judge Parker of New York is the strongest man they have." CASTLES ARE GOING TO DECAY Bavaria Cannot Afford to Keep Up Creations of the Late M Monareh, (Copyright. 1903, by Press Publishing Co.) MUNICH, Bavaria, Aug. 2.—(New.York World Cablegram—Special Telegram.)—The numerous castles of the late mad king of Bavaria, Ludwig I, are rapidly falling into ruin. They are magnificent productions, but in thelr outward shape, position and interior decoration all betray the strain of madness in the mind of their buflder. Some, like Neuschwanstein and Lindenhof, cost fabwous sums, and to keep them in repair would entail more trouble and ex- pense than the Bavarian government can spare. The architectural value of the cas- tles 1s regarded as small, and the govern- ment asks itself why It should go on lay- ing out money In perpetuating for posterity what s of no artistic value and which after all s only the craze of a mad mon- arch. It is in contemplation to preserve In the national museums some of the best speci- mens of art, llke the gorgeous peacock embrojdered with brilllants, at the foot of the poor king's bed, and which is sald to havel cost §,00,000, but the rest of the eccentric furniture and bric-a-brac will be put up at auction and the castles will be left to decay. The reports of the king's health (a younger brother of Ludwig ID), are satls- factory, but his mental state becomes more and more deplorable. He is rapidly losing the power of speech, and no one seesf him but his medical attendants and nurses and the ministers, who visit him once a month as a matter of state necessity and precaution.

Balensl, who served a term In an Ameri- can prison, to whom Lebaudy entrusted 13,000,000 and who was extradited after re- lease from the American prison, has just been sentenced to one year's imprisonment, which is equivalent to an acquittal, as he was immediately liberated, having already spent more than that time in Paris prisons since extradition. The Parisians hardly recognized the former gay boulevardier, now grown prematurely gray and haggard.
