liINCOLN , Juno 23. ( Special. ) Many ru
mors have been circulated that the supreme
court would meet In a few days to render
decision * ) In the Omaha and Uncoil charter
cases. Justlco Norval was Interviewed to
day on the matter. Judge Norval said thit
there had been no notice or call for an ex
tra session for any purpose , and he had no
knowledge that there would bo a call made.
HP said that there was a special session two
years ago on the Omaha ( .barter , but that
he himself had always been opposed to extra
fii-wlons. When asked as to the authority
of the court to meet In extra session Judge
Norval quoted from the provisions of the
statutes as follows : "The Judges of the
supreme court , or a majority of them , are
hereby authorized to appoint and hold a
special term at such tlmo as they may des
ignate for disposing of the unfinished busi
ness of any general term of said court , and
may appoint one special term of said rouvt
In any one yrar for general or special pur
poses. " In regard to whether tin- dispos
ing of the charter cases would bo unfinished
or general business , Judge Norval gave It
as Ills opinion that It would bo unfinished
biislne. > a , and that a special scission could bo
called on the charter roses nt any tlmo
two of the judges agreed to make such a
call.

The Stnlo Hanking Hoard has * had the
affairs of the Merchants' bank of Lincoln
under consideration , but so far has taken no
action. Some of the members , and In fact
most of the stockholders and depositors of
the bank were under thu Impression that It
was the duty of the board to appoint a
receiver for the defunct bank , but today
It was discovered that the banking law of
1895 made a different provision. Jt would
seem from thu petition filed by Mr. Uhl ,
ono of the depositor ; ! , who asks for the
appointment of a receiver and charges the
board with being derelict In Us. duty ,
that the law of ISOfi has also been over
looked by tbo attorneys. According to this
law It Is the duty of the attorney general
when the State Hanking board shall have
communicated to him facts to warrant nuch
n procedure , to cause application to be
made to the district court for a receiver for
the shaky bank.

Christian Endeavor society , was at Hurling

pleting arrangements for the special train
that will carry his society through to the
California meeting. Ho reports that the
Iowa delegation Is growing In numbers every
day. TMs corresponds with the Informa
tion obtained concerning the Nebraska dele
gation , which has selected the Union Pacific
as Its official route. Ono prominent passen
ger man said yesterday that there was
really more business than the railroads cared
forv as there was but little or no revenue In
the traffic at the rates offered.
So far as open sales are concerned Chris
tian Endeavor rates are stable. There has
been some talk about an investigation by
tbo "low Joints" Into the Rock Island's cut
of $2 for a few hours on Monday , but the
rumor Is not taken seriously. I'assengot
nu'ii generally concede that association rates
have not been maintained at all times. The
Hock Island maintains that It has not mis
behaved more than the other lines that are
In the Christian Endeavor business , insisting
that there U hut little difference between a
cut of $2 per ticket and an offer of ono
free ticket for every eight passengers , or of
four round trip tickets for the olllcora of a
slaty delegation.
