To the people of the state of Nebraska: The officers of the Nebraska County Option League deem it advisable to make a plain and concise statcim ni to vhe public concerning the purposes and plans of the league. The central purpose of this organi zation is to' secure the nomination and election of a governor and legis lature favorable to the principle of county option. The plan by w hich this can best be accomplished is thought to be that of organizing a local committee in each county and precinct, to be com posed of men of all parties and creeds favorable to county option, these com mittees to be charged with the duty and responsibility of securing the nomination and election of legislators pledged to the enactment of the law. We believe that the committee in each county should carry on its cam paign in its own way, with only such guidance and assistance from the state organization as it may voluntarily request. We ask the local committees to report full details, including the names and addresses of its officers and mem bers, to Secretary Frank A. Harrison at Lincoln.

Prohibited From Doing Business in the State of Tennesee by' Same Court. WASHINGRTON, May 2 The lands of the states in their fight against the "trusts were upheld today by the supreme court of the United States with teling effect. The association of retail lumber dealers in Mississippi and Louisiana were disbanded by affirmance of the decree of the su preme court of Mississipppi, and the Standard Oil company of Kentucky was ousted from Tennessee by the ap proval of the decree of the supreme court of Tennassee. Roth state courts held that the corporations violated the anti-trust act of the respective states. Judge Lurton announced the opin ion ot the court in the .Mississippi case. It was his first utterance from the supreme court bench in the "trust" question, lie said the members of the association had obligated them selves not to deal with a manufacturer or wholesaler in lumber tho sold to consumers in the localities in which they conducted a business sufficiently large to meet the demand of the people. He accepted the findings of the state courts and considered only whether the statute was in conflict with the fourteenth amendment by abridging the freedom of contract.

A law which would infringe his freedom of contract in that particular would stand. No decision of the supreme court of the I'nited States was announced today in the corporation tax cases. The court took a recess until May 1G. The only other day the court will be in session this term will be Mav 31. The decree of the supreme court of Tennessee was today affirmed by the supreme court of the I'nited States. The proceedings was begun in 1007 under the Tennessee anti-trust act. Charles 1.

NOT LOYAL TO PRESIDENT'S PLAN Will Be Made to Stand Responsible For Failure ol Presidential Bills. Children Voices. Those who did not attend the meet ing at the Methodist church last night missed something that they may never get a chance to see again, unless pos sibly they go again this evening. The children's chorus which Mr. Alva Campbell has been drilling since he came to riattsmouth took the place of the regular singers on the platform. lhere were something over fifty of them and the iiuiie they rendered was exceedingly fine. New words had been set to some of the popular church music while another set of words had been set to the music of "A Hot Time" and evrybody enjoyed the oc casional changes to the latter tune as well as to all of them. The ser vices in connection with the music were very interesting and productive results which were no doubt due a great measure to the singing of the children. The audience, while not large was intensely appreciative of the singing and no preaching was tad during the evening. Tonight the children will sing again and in addition to this the male quar tet will assist, so that those who go will be well entertained during the evening. It you have not attended these meetings tonight is your good time to go. I 9, and Harry, age b, went up to the hospital on the noon train today. Mr. Renner is a popular young man of this city, having a comfortable residence on High School hill where he has lived a short time. The injured man was of fine stature and build and being in good physical condition is very likely to survive the shock in the best possible manner. He stood the pain remarkably well while in the city and the doctors are of the , opinion that he will safely come through the accident.

They will face a team consisting of three girls. Wahoo has always been very successful in their work of debating and have so far succeeded in sending a representative to every state debute at Lincoln and each time have pulled down first or second honors. Roth of the contending teams of tonight's contest tried to get the affirmative side of the question, but when left to the president of the league at Lin coln, Plattsmouth was given the de sired side. If the team is successful tonight, one of it's members will be sent to the debate at Lincoln which is held the latter part of this month.

The time of his bond recently expired and being unable to secure a new trial he was confined at the coun ty jail awaiting the order for his re moval to the penitentiary. WASHINGTON, May 2(-rresi-dent Taft's railroad legislation will be emasculated at the close of a protrac ted conference of leading "regular" republican senators tonight; It was apparent that the revolt of the senate insurgents had been virtually success ful and that the sections of the bill relative to tariff agreements and mer gers, which Senator Cummins and other insurgents have been fichtinir to amend, will be abandoned. Practi cally nothing distinctive of the orig inal bill will remain, save the sections, providing for the creation of a court of commerce. Even that had a peri lous time in the house, and nobody tonight is preparing to guarantee that it will be enacted. In fact the differ ences between the senate and the house are so great that iu view of the radical action decided upon by the senate leaders tonight it would surprise no body if the entire bill should fail in con ference. So serious became the situation of the bill today that President Taft himself, at Pittsburg, was advised over the long distance telephone by Senator Aldrich. Despairing of putting the bill through the senate in the form in which it was reported from the committee ion interstate commerce,the leaders in the conference tonight decided to eliminate section 7, which the insur gents claim practically would have re pealed the Sherman anti-trust law by permitting traffic agreements, and! section 12, which wou'd have legalized mergers in cases wherein a railroad corporation owning 50 per cent of another desired to control outright. Upon the "insurgents" the admin istration will endeavor to place the respnsibility for the future of the Taft railroad legislation.' To Senator Aid rich over the telephone Mr. Taft is said to have expressed himself emphat ically to this effect. That he had initiated the pending measure, and had advocated it through out the country in the form in which it was reported to the senate, and that if a committee of insurgent republicans . and democrats rendered it impossible for the republican majority to enact the bill, he felt that the adminis tration should be relieved of respon sibility for its defeat. Although admittedly stopped from passing the bill in the form in which they wished, the administration sena tors began the formulation of plana. through which they will endeavor to take away from the insurgent republi cans the chance to claim a clean cut victory for themselves. They even wore an air of jubilation tonight over the prospect of putting the "in surgents" to route on the pending Cummins amendment to the traffic agreement section, which will be the first matter voted upon when the bill is again taken up, probably tomorrow. exxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx!
