THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1916. OMAHA ROAD PUTS ONE OVER ON BOARD Rearranges Schedule Out of Sioux City to Cut Out Two-Cent Fares. RAIL HEADS ARE MIFFED . (From a Staff Correspondent.) 3 Lincoln, Dec. 4.—(Special.)—It is understood that members of tlfe state railway commission are not pleased over the way officials of the Minne- apolis & Omaha railroad put one over on them a few weeks ago when the latter appeared before the board and asked permission to reconstruct their time schedule out of Sioux City to Omaha in order to make better time and better connections. Their attention has beeri called to the fact that in reconstructing the time card provision was made that certain trains out of Sioux City would make no stop at South Sioux 'City. As a result patrons of the road who had been in the habit of taking a street car for South Sioux City in order to save the higher fare of in- terstate traffic and purchasing their tickets there for points in Nebraska, were left standing on the platform while the train whizzed by, the wheels clicking a merry ha ha as the train passed them up. Case Involving Treasurer's Fees Up at Fairbury Fairbury, Neb, Dec. 4.—(Special.) —Judge L. M. Pemberton opened the December term of district court for the Eightednth judicial district here today. This will be a jury session and a large| docket of criminal and equity cases faces Judge Pemberton for ad- judication. The case of the county commission- ers against County Treasurer D. B. Cropsey for the recovery of clerical fees which he retained will be one of the nwst important cases brought up at this term. The county attorney will represent the commissioners. Mr. Cropsey filed a petition in the district court November 21 asking for a writ of mandamus to compel the county board to fix the allowance for clerks in his office. When Mr. Cropsey took the office of treasurer he asked for an allowance of $1,620, but the commis- sioners allowed only $1,200. This case has caused considerable discussion and nearly resulted in the defeat of the county treasurer at the recent election. He pulled thraugh'by a ma- jority of sixty-three votes in a strong republican county on the second term. \ A criminal case of considerable im- portance is that of the state against Roy Barnes. This case is the out- growth of a shooting fracas at the home of E. E. McLane in this city in May, 1914. Barnes asserted he had been robbed by companion sat the Mc- Lane home of $3.80. When he tried to recover his money, a quarrel ensued and he later procured a revolver and attempted to compel several of his companions to reimburse him., He fired a shot that struck McLane in the leg. The case of Mrs. B. Z. Millikan, suing four Jefferson county boys for $25,000 damages for injuries sustained in an automobile collision, has been continued. Notes From Beatrice And Gage County Beatrice, Neb. Dec. 4—(Specid.)— The case against Jake Workman of West Beatrice, who- was arrested at his home Thursday evening, where he was entertaining some friends at a beer party, was heard before Judge Ellis yesterday and the defendant dis- chafged because there was no cause of action. ' The court held that it was not . illegal for a person to purchase beer and bring it into a dry town to en- tertain friends at one’s home. William Theye, wife and daughter, were struck by an auto on the high- way near Odell as they were riding to their home in a- buggy. All were thrown out and Mr. Theye seriously injured. His left side 1s paralyzed and at last reports he was in a seriou: condition. \ The Elks held their memorial serv- ices at the Gilbert theater Sunday aft- ernoon. The principal address was given by Hon. E. C. Paige of Omaha. Successful Farmers’ Institute at Harvard Harvard, Neb., Dec. 4—(Special.)— A very successful two days’ session of the Harvard Farmers’ institute ended here Saturday evening when John Lawton of Lincoln, judge of the live stock exhibit, awarded the prizes for stock judging, following with a talk upon the “Care and Management of Stock.” Friday afternoon the women had a good meeting at the opera house with an addfess by Maude Wil- son on “Home Furnishing.” The men had a meeting at the Community club room at the same time, at which P. L. Gaddis of Lincoln was the speaker, his topic, “The Nature and Care of Our Soil.” In the evening there was a joint meeting at the opera house ddressed by Miss Wilson and Mr. addis, with several musical numbers by local talent interspersed. Saturday afternoon was stock ex- hibits and stock judging. Mr. Law- tomof Lincoln had charge of this de- partment, and complimented those who participated in the judging con- test very highly upon their near per- fection. The poultry exhibit on Saturday was the best ever shown here and de- velopeq the fact that there are some breeders n this immediate vicinity that are gure “on their job.” The display of chickens, turkeys, geese and ducks was high grade in every re- spect and greatly admired by the large number of visitors to the show room.

The congratulations and condolences between the members who had been re-elected or had been relegated to private life, were spoken in the lobbies or in' private, the en- livening scenes of former gays, where men of opposite pares threw them- selves into one another’s arms, being entirely missing from the picture.

Look and Feel Clean, Sweet and Fresh Every Day Drink a glass of real hot water before breakfast to wash out polsons. Life is not merely to live, but to live well, eat well, digest well, work well, sleep well, look well. What a glorious condition to attain, and yet how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside brath. Folks who are accustomed to feel | dull and heavy when they arise, split- ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stag- nant matter. B Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous day’s indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and furifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly ex- tracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs. The milliors of pegple who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get quarter pound of lime- stone phosphate from tl]e drug store, which will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pro- nounced crank on the subject of in- ternal sanitation.—Advertisement.

RULING BY SUPREME COURT Washington, Dec. 4.—Interstate Commerce commission orders permit- ting railroads to give lower transcon- tinental freight rates to San Francis- co, Oakland, Portland, Seattle and other Pacific ports, while denying them to the inland cities of Sacra- mento, Stockton, San Jose and Santa Clara, Cal, were sustlined today by the supreme court.
