DON'T 60 UNDER OLD LAW
Supreme Court Decides That Saloon Men
Could Not 6i6 Surety Bonds
Under Old Law.
The supreme court in the case of
Lee vs. lirittain, involving a remon
strance aeainst the establishment of
a saloon at Silver Creek, Merrick
county, establishes the fact that a
surety bond given by a saloon keeper
prior to the enacunent of the new law
by the recent legislature, was invalid
because it did not comply with the
provision of the Slocurab law requir
Ing that two freeholders go on the
bond. This belated decision or the
supreme court now establishes the
fact that many saloonkeepers were
operating under illegal bonds. Whetb
erthat fact will affect any pending
causes of action is not yet known in
statehouse circles where the decision
has been noticed.
The decision does not affect existing
licenses, since they have been renewed
under the provisions of an amendatory
statute introduced by Speaker Rouse
iu the last house of representatives
which changed the Slocumb law by
the insertion of a proviso dispensing
witli the freeholders in the cases where
surety bonds are given. The News, at
the time the decision affecting surety
bonds was rendered, stated that there
was grave question as to the validity
of the liquor bonds, and it was with
that belief in mind that House intro
duced the amendment, although the
saloonmen denied the statement that
they were affected. The anti-saloon
representatives in the house made a
tiirht anainst the measure, claiming
that it would weaken theSlocumb law.
The current case holding that surety
aloon bonds were invalid was taken
to the supreme court by W.T.Thomp
son, of Central City, who is now
deputy attorney general.
The fact that an amendment to the
Slocumb statute has been made is re
garded as unfortunate in some quar-
ers. since it is feared that it will pave
the way for other changes, resulting
n the eventual repeal of the statute.
The argument advanced against the
louse amendment is that men ought
lot to ho jermittcd to do business in
l community, unless they are able to
command the coniidence of two free
holders to go on their bonds.
Uelative to the adoption of tht
Kouse amendment, it is stated that
the anti-saloon league has singled out
some of the legislators, w ho were most
active in its support and will take
steps to prevent their renomination.
Lincoln News.
IN THE LINCOLN ASYLUM
Men and Women Seek Riddance of Drink
and Morphine Habit.
A Lincoln correspondent says: -The
second patient to be treated for the
liquor and drug habit at the Lincoln
asylum for the insane, under the pro
visions of the Epperson dipsomaniac
law, was discharged Monday. The
man was formerly a well known doc
tor, but had become a slave to mor
phine. He now seems to be complete
ly cured, has gained forty pounds in
weight, and for the past month has
been of great assistance in tbe hospi
tal in treating other patients. He says
that he intends to take up his medical
practice again in some distant com
munity. The tirst patient to enter
the asylum for treatment under the
new law was to have been discharged
Saturday, but has earnestly requested
that he may be allowed to remain in
the hospital for another ninety days,
in order that he may be sure not to
backslide.
Thirty-nine men and one woman
have been treated at the hospital
since the law went into effect. A pro
vision is made for three years' resi
dence in the asylum, but it is not
necessary in most cases to serve the
entire term. As soon as a patient is
completely cured, he is discharged.
Ninety days is the time usually re
quired for a cure. During the first
thirty days a rigorous treatment, tend
ing to thoroughly purge the digestive
organs of any drug or alcoholic taint,
is followed. The last sixty, days are
devoted to building up the patient's
physical and mental faculties. All
the patients now under the care of
Dr. Greene and his assistants express
much gratification at the results be
ing effected in their own cases.
After Twenty-one Years.
A special from Weeping Water says:
'"O. K. Cromwell has traded thej
"Gibbon House" to T. T. Pessler for
a farm near Pawnee City and will!
give possession December 1st. By the
time Mr. Cromwell vacates he and his
wife will have run the Gibbon House
successfully for twenty-one years and
six months. They will be very much
missed both by the citizens here, and
by the traveling public."

Superintendents Meet In Lincoln.
In commenting upon the meeting of
state superintendents' and principals'
association In session now at Lincoln,
the Journal says: "The opening ses
sion of the annual meeting of the state
superintendents' and principals' asso
ciation opened last night with about
150 in attendance. This is the largest
attendance at an opening meeting of
the association for several years. The
meeting has been unusually well ad
vertised this year, and the program
offers discussion and papers of extra
ordinary interest to Nebraska high
school teachers and educators in gen
eral. Several features of not a strictly
educational nature have been provided
for in addition to these, which are
aimed to furnish entertainment and
instruction for the instructors, out
side the line of the usual subjects dis
cussed at such meetings. The first of
these was given last night as the open
ing address of the session. It was a
general discussion and criticism of the
prase and poetry of Edgar Allen Poe,
by W. M. Davidson, superintendent
of the city schools of Omaha. Mr.
Davidson's paper was rather lengthy,
but thoroughly instructive and enter
taining, and was accorded close atten
tion by the large audience."
JUDGE JESSEN'S SUCCESSOR
The Noted Burlington Attorney of this City
Mentioned for Successor.
Current political gossip, says the
Lincoln News, has brought the name
of Byron Clark of Plattsmouth into
connection with the vacancy which
will occur should Paul Jessen, who has
been named to succeed E. A. Tucker
on the Arizona bench, resign. Clark
has been known as one of the
local political manager for the Bur
lington railway. The candidacy of
Clark will excite considerable opposi
tion, since the friends of reform in the
republican party believe that lie stands
in the way of the anti-pass bill and di
rect primary movements and railway
rate regulation. Clark is a member
of the state central and executive
committees of the republican party.
Clark is the man who was most fav
ored by G. W. lloldredge for the con
gressional nominat ion in the First Dis
trict, and that fact alone is regarded
as evidence that the Burlinirton is
still deeply interested in his welfare.
At one time it wassupected that the
Burlington hoped to defeat Pollard
by bringing out Clark.
Wliile no application has been hied
in the ot'ice of the governor in behalf
of the Plattsmouth man it is alleged
that the Burlington politicians are
already laying plans todvise theexec-
utivetoactin Clark's favor. So' far,
the appointing power has declined to
listened to any of the applications.
The :govemor fs a warm admirer of
Jessen, who has always been in the
ranks of the anti-machine element.
When the dispatches brought the in
telligence of the president's action, the
governor paid a high tribute to Jessen
and republicans who pattern after him
On this account, it has been surmised
that the governor would endeavor
to appoint another man of the same
type.
When the press dispatches announced
that the Nebraska City man had been
singled out by the president, the
governor was called up by longdistance
telephone and advised that a certain
jurist would like to make formal ap
plication. He was informed that be
had better wait until there was a va
cancy, as Judge Jessen had not tiled
any resignation. Nothing has been
heard from Judge Jessen in regard to
his intentions and until there is some
thing the governor will refuse to no
tice applications.
may xot ACCEPT.
The following from a Nebraska City
newspaper indicates that Jessen may
not accept:
"It is known here that Judge Jessen
was not consulted in regard to the ap
pointment to the Arizona judgeship in
successor to Eugenne A Tucker, and
the opinion seems to prevail that he
may not accept the honor as it only
pays$l,C00 a year more than he now
receives as a judge of the district
court, and the extra expense of receiv
ing and the extra work will more
than make the difference in salary.
Moreover many trips will have to be
made in stages in that territory to and
from holding couit
Talk ofitoot.
"Should he resign his present posi
tion to accept the other within twen
ty days before the fall election his suc
cessor will be elected, but should he
hold the office until after election, as
he has much unfinished business on
hand, the governor will appoint his
successor. In either case the person
will probably be Jesse L. Root, ex
county attorney, residing in Platts
mouth. Should an election be held
County Judge II. D. Travis will pro
bably be the democratic candidate."

FOR THE BOYS AND GIRLS
Proposed Agricultural and Domestic Science
Association.
The boys of Nebraska will have an
opportunity toorganlzean agricultural
association of their own and the girls
of the state w ill have a chance to form
a domestic science association, says the
Lincoln Journal. The time and place
is December 14 and 15 at Lincoln. On
that occasion the Nebraska boys corn
growing contest and the Nebraska
girls cooking contest will take place.
Deputy State Superintendent E. C
Bishop who is fostering these proposed
organizations received word yesterday
that the western passenger association
has granted a one fare open rate for
the meetings.
The objects of the state organization
to be known as the Nebraska boys'
agricultural association and the Ne
braska girls' domestic science associa
tion, are set forth in this manner by
Mr. Bishop:
"To organize the school boys and
school girls of the state for definite
work along lines which will bring the
home and the school into closer rela
tion; to prepare young people for the
fullest enjoyment of their environ
ment; to dignify, by a better know
ledge of its conditions and possibilties,
the farm life of the twentieth century,
to educate the youth of country, town
and city to a knowledge of their de
pendence upon nature's resources, and
to the value of the fullest self-develop
ment of hand, head and heart; to stim
ulate activity that will give industrial
training its due emphases in our educa
tional system; to give to the state the
services of her ambitious boys and girls
in study and experiment in fields that
will bring a better and a greater de
velopment of the resources of our com
monwealth. "Any public school pupil of last year
or the present school year may become
an active member of his or her respec
tive state association,
The state association will hold one
general meeting, annually. At this
meeting, in addition to features of
business, instruction and entertain
ment, the results of the work of in
dividual members and of country, dis
trict and other eligible organizations,
will be show n.
"The state organization, while
anticipating good results from the
work of the individual and other state
membership and state meetings, ex
pects t he greater good from its oilice
as an encouragement and assistance to
county organizations.
"The county organization, reaching
directly into every school district,
from its local position, can organize
more factors and can secure a greater
personal interest in, and attendance
at its meetings and its exhibitions: it
occupies a field, broader in scope and
more potent in possible results than
does the distance and more restricted
state organizations.
Arizona Territorial Judgeship.
The Nebraska City Tribune, in
speaking of the position tendered
Judge Jessen by President Roosevelt
says: "Judge Jessen left this city for
the Pacific coast on his wedding tour
on October 4. From intimate friends
here has been obtained a confirmation
of the report that the vacant judge
ship has been tendered to him and ac
ceptance awaits his decision, which
had not been announced up to this
time. Judge Jsssen's friends do not
undertake to predict what his decision
will be. The tender of this appoint
ment by President Roosevelt is a dis
tinct honor to Judge Jessen and a well
merited recognition of his established
reputation as a jurist. Should Judge
Jessen accept, Arizona will obtain
what the territory seems to be much
in need of, a territorial judge of full
size, able, capable and thoroughly
equipped to meet every demand of the
high office."
