filonn It ) * ( In : Court.
LINCOLN , Sept. 22. ( Special. ) The supreme
premo court has declared void the section of
the statutes providing for the control and
maintenance by county boards of bridges con-
Ktructcd by Irrigation companies or owners
of Irrigation systems. This decision ls In the
case of State , ex rt > l. Dawson county , against
Farmers' and Merchants' Irrlcatlon com
pany , the power of the leglnlature to enact
laws securing for certain persons Immunity
from burdens which , under similar condi
tions , rest upon all other persons , being de
nied.
nied.One
One section of the statutes of 1897 provides
that any corporation , canal company , mill
owner or any other person , shall make and
keep In good repair sufficient crossings over
imbllo or private highways. Section 58 of
the ecsfllon lawn of 1895 provides that any
owner of any system of Irrigation shall con
struct miltable bridges across its ditches on
public roads and that the county boards shall
thereafter control and maintain them.
Pt'lnr ' to 1895 all owners of ditches crossing
public highways were charged with the duty
of keeping public bridges across the dllchce
In repair. The legislature of 1895 , the court
holds , assumed to exempt Irrigation com
panies from this burden whllo leaving all
other ditch owners still subject to It. The
opinion Is by Judge Sullivan and closes with
tbo following :
"Section 58 of the Irrigation law of 1895 ,
being an attempt to confer a special privilege
on a particular class , cornea under the ban of
the constitution and Is therefore null. The
seotlon Is not BO connected with the balance
of the act as to be incapable of separation
from It. Neither can It be said that it con
stituted an Inducement to the adoption of the
measure. The balance of the law la , there
fore , unaffected by this decision. "
CoiiHtriicd IIH Mandatory.
In the case of George W. Doano , appellee ,
ngulnfat the City of Omaha the supreme
court rules that the word "may , " when
used I a statute or enactment to Impose a
duty or delegate a power , the performance
of which Involves the protection of the
jiubllc , shall be read as "must" and be con
strued as mandatory. The construction of
this word was Involved in an action insti
tuted to obtain an Injunction against the
levy of a special osserflmcnt by the city of
Omaha to pay the expenses of constructing
u sidewalk on or near the property of the
plaintiff. A trial of the Issues resulted In a
decree in favor of the plaintiff and the case
\vofl appealed to the supreme court by the
city. There were but two questions raised
and discussed , both of which related to a
notice which was given the holder of the
property , by which Wio construction was
ordered. It was asserted that the owner
of the property had actual notice of the
order , but on this point the evidence was
conflicting.
At the time the city council passed the
resolution which required the construction
of the sidewalk in question there WAS In
force an ordinance which provided for the
publication of any such resolution during
a prescribed period of time , also that on
"icsldents of the city a copy of the reso
lution may bo personally served. " The or
iginal section of the ordinance In relation
to notice was of publication alone , but had
i jipty > oen ; < unended , , thelaqjendatory-portion ;
-publication belcg applicable1 to 'notice Tto
residents of the city. The contention was
regarding the contention to ho given to the
ordinance or specifically the word , "may. "
The decree of the district court was af
firmed. A similar decision was made In the
case of Henry W. Yates against the City
of Omaha , the same points of law being In-
\olved.
In Jacob Zimmerman against the Kearney
County Bank the cqurt rules that a witness

A decision of Interest to people con
nected with building and loan associations
Is found in the case of the Interstate Sav
ings and Loan associations , appellee , against
Hattlo B. Strlne. The contention of the as
sociation in this case was that the umiry law
was not applicable to cither foreign or do
mestic corporations of the class to which
It belongs * . That building and loan associa
tions , incorporated under the law of Ne
braska , ITO not affected by the statute
against usury lias been settled beyond con
troversy , the court holds , but In other cases
It has been ruled that foreign corporations
are not within the provision of section 9 of
the act of 1891 , that being the clause under
which the exemption was claimed. The syl
labus in this case is that :
"Foreign building and loan associations
doing buulness in this state are , on their
usurious contracts , subject to the penalties
of the statute against usury. "

HASTINOS , Neb. , Sept. 22. ( Special Tel
egram. ) As this WBS next to the last day
of the Hastings street fair and carnival ,
there was an Irrtnenso crowd of visitors In
the city and when the homo people turned
out thcro was such a Jam on all streets that
It began to feel uncomfortable. There -were
thousands In attendance at the raced , base
ball games and foot ball games , yet there was
not the least sign of a decrease in the crowds
on the streets. People came from every
direction and from almost every town In
the western part of the state.
'Many ' now features have been added to the
atreot fair during the last few days and all
are doing a thriving business , There were
plenty of free miscellaneous events In vari
ous parts of tbo city today , Including a bal
loon ascension by Prof. Hendrlcks , several
vaudeville Shows , fancy bicycle riding , Jug
gling , band concerts , etc.
This has been Traveling Men's day and
they made It a dny to be remembered for
a long time In the minds of many. At 10
o'clock this morning the much advertised
"horseless carriage" parade materialized.
Nearly 100 traveling men paraded the streets
In woman's attire. About forty of them
pushed baby carriages In which was placed
a dollar eack of corn meal to represent the
Infant. The procession was headed by the
Fourth Missouri regimental band.
Another feature of the parade was the
"Kalamazoo" band , composed of traveling
men dressed as clowns. Banners wore car
ried upon which were printed : "This Is a
horseless carriage parade. " "Don't make a
nolso or you'll wako the baby , " and several
other appropriate sentenced. At every
corner the procession was stopped by Drum
Major II. H. Cherry , who announced the
program , which consisted of cake walking ,
oouchce-couchee dancing and solos from va
rious members of the "Kalamazoo" band.
It was a eight that would have put a comic
opera In the shade. Some were dressed as
babies , some a % prlma donnas , others as
coquettish maidens.
It was by far the best burlesque ever put
on In Hastings < ind the fun created was In
tense. People climbed telephone poles , eat
on top of booths and clung to the very edge
of window sills In order that they might
not miss a single turn of the burlesquers.
The parade lasted nearly two hours and
there was a continuous uproar of laughter
from thousands of spectators.
After the races In the afternoon the trav
eling men returned to the city , where they
went through many fancy maneuvers under
the leadership of their drlllmaster , "Billy"
Schmidt of the Van Nn.tta-L.ynd Drug com
pany of St. Joseph.
Tonight has been a repetition of Tuesday
night , when all took advantage of the lib
erties that come with carnival nights. It Is
down on the program as "Grand Out-All-
Nlght Parade of the Hoboes They Toll
Not , Neither Do They Spin , " and from the
looks of the make-ups and the amount of
din that followed the proce-sslon It Is safe
to say the crowd will see the sun rise.
Hundreds of men and boys dressed as
farm-hands , carrying broomcorn , hang to
gether and parade the streets , yelling and
tooting horns , while hundreds of girls , boys ,
men , women and children are masqued , mov
ing hither and thith r , throwilng rice , corn
and confetti. The streets are llterally jcov-
'
ored with crushed rloe and they hav th'e
appearance of being covered -with about an
Inch of snow. The traveling me/a have Joined
the masquers and the whole town Is wild
with the ( frolic. The bands are out In full
force and from almost every corner floats
the melodious strains of "There'll Be a Hot
Time In the Old Town Tonight" and "Geor
gia Camp-Meeting. "
Great preparations are being made for to
morrow , which is Omaha and editors' day.
AB this will close the street fair and carni
val it promises to be a hummer beyond a
doubt. Many new features have been added
to the program and there will bo a continu
ous round of special events and entertain
ments during thn day and night. By special
request the flower parade will bo repeated.
The women of Hastings have made arrange
ments to entertain their Omaha friends at
Elks' hall , where committees will be In waitIng -
Ing throughout the entire day. A foot ball
game will como off In the afternoon between
the Omaha High school team and the second
eleven of Hastings college.
A message was received today from St.
Joseph that a big crowd of wholesale mer
chants were contemplating a visit to the
Hastings street fair tomorrow.
Before the Grand Island firemen returned
homo this morning they said they had never
been so royally entertained since their or
ganization went Into existence as they hod
been whllo In Hastings. They were given a
smoker in the city hall last night uy the
Hastings volunteer firemen and It proved a
most enjoyable and social affair.

Omaha and Newspaper day , follows :
9 a. m. Free concerts , , cake walk and
other contests.

BRYAN'S ' CONTINUOUS TALK

the Same Old -Story ( < > n York
Audience.
YORK , Nob. . Sept. 22. ( Special Tele
gram. ) About 2BOO people , of which about
one-half wore women , listened today to W.
J. Bryan's two-and-one-half hour address.
Populists had posted bills on nearly every
fence corner announcing that W. J. Bryan
would talk for freedom , and from the amount I
of work and advertising they expected !
crowds similar to those of 1890 and previous
years , when speakers not nn drawing as
Bryan talked to crowds of 8,000. Bryan
recognized that a number of republicans
wcro present. Throughout his speech , and
when argument failed , him , ho lost no oppor
tunity to make a dig at Mark Hanna.
He denied that any good had roaulted
from republican victory and nothing slnco j (
then had changed his opinion as to free sil
ver. Ho attributed the prosperous condi
tions of York county farmers to the fact
of good crops and good prices , which ho
claimed were brought about by famine , the
discovery of gold In the Klondike and the
war with Spain. He said ho didn't think
famine and war good things to rely on and
cppcaled to the farmers to vote for free
silver , the only remedy for Ills political.
Ills Ideas on the Income tax were the same
as in 1S06. Ho blamed the administration
for the formation of trusts , but offered no
real remedy. He deplored the expense of
the Philippine war , calling It an adminis
tration war. Ho thought because Spain In
100 years had not whipped the Filipinos we
could not and If wo did secure the Philip
pines that syndicates and trusts would soon
own the Islands. He closed his specich with
n strong appeal not to let the republicans
carry Nebraska , as all eyes arc on Ne
braska.

MITCHELL , S. D. , Sept. 22 ( Special. )
The financial condition of the people of
South Dakota Is shown by facts and figures
to bo In a remarkably healthy state. This
statement Is made by reason of the Informa
tion obtained through the banks doing bus-
IIIMS In South Dakota ,
Sometime ago the various banking insti
tutions In the state were requested by Na
tional Bank Examiner Sllsby of Mitchell to
furnish him with a statement of the total
amount on deposit at the close of business
Juno 30 , 1S99 , and also to classify the state
ment so that an accurate record could bo
compiled , showing the aggregate deposits
and their classification.
Mr. Sllsby says that nearly every bank
responded , which enabled him , for the Ilrst
time In the history of the state , to lay before -
fore the gceral public a comprehensive re
capitulation. Mr. Sllsby said :
"I am confident the showing made will
be especially gratifying to the people , and
will do much to dispel the Idea , somewhat
prevalent In the east , that South Dakota Is
a drouth-stricken and unprofitable field for
human endeavor. "

Deposits of churches and so- .
cietles 201iBS.iD
Deposits of public funds ( state. .
county and municipal ) 1,033,507.49
These deposits , which represent only a
portion of the money In the state , give a
per capita on a. basis of 400,000 population
of $31.86 ; merchants and business men ,
$3S.SO ; farmers , $32.08 ; laboring men , $9.47 ;
minors , $7.80 ; capitalists , $8.50 ; professional
men. $1.78 ; whllo the churches , etc. , have
$1.57. The report continues :
"Grouped together In another form. I find
that a very surprising result Is obtained , and
one hardly expected In "this " state. Take the
merchants , capitalists and professional men ,
and their aggregate deposit Is $5,843,809.78 ;
whllo the total of the laboring people , farm
ers and stockmen and miners amounts to
$5,908,766.53 , or $64,936.75 more than the
first named class.
Not the Ilcnt Time of Yenr.
"Tho last of June Is about the most unpro-
pltlous time that could be selected to find
farmers or stock raisers with a bank ac
count. It Is the season when his resources
arc 'being ' exhausted , and when but small
returns are coming In , but If he le able to
havu a deposit of over $3,838,000 , what
might not we expect In November , when the
crops have been garnered and aold , and the
cattle and hogs and other stock turned
off ?
"Even the laboring man Is taken at a
disadvantage , as many of them are com
pelled by the rigor of winter to lay Idle for
some months , and thus would encroach ma
terially upon the funds in the bank , that
would again -be | augmented in the fall , when
the season's labors were just ended.
Again , many farmers and laboring men
never use a bank as a repository for sur
plus funds , and the proverbial stocking
bulges with Its hidden treasure , while the
rule with the business and professional
men Is to employ the bank to do their clear
ings.
"The magnitude of the deposit in Itself
proves that our people are making rapid and
substantial progress In these fertile plains
and evidences the fact that well directed
effort In South Dakota brings ample reward ;
while the equitable distribution among the
various classes and industries shows that

SIOUX FALLS , S D. , Sept. 22. ( Special. )
The establishment at Alexandria of a grnln
elevator by a slock company largely of
farmers living there has resulted In open
warfare between some of the merchants who
purchased stock In the new elevator company
nnd the regular grnln buyers. In retalia
tion for the assistance given by Uio mer
chants In establishing the new elevator the
grain buyers have rented a building and will
put In a complete stock of general mer
chandise , which will bo sold at cost.
The fanners In that locality will not loia
anything by this move of the regular grain
buyers , but on 4ho other hand are certain
of obtaining good prices for their grain , as
well as securing the necessaries of life at
cost.

Do you ever sit down to read In th
afternoon or evening and find yourself
fioliiK to sleep before you have read a
do/.en lines ? JThcrc are a great many
who are troubled In this way. In a
Rood many cases It Is due to some slight
defect of the eyes. Not a marked de
fect , but just a slight one. I do not say
that every case of drowsiness In readIng -
Ing Is catiHod In this way , but a part of
them certainly are. If you llnd you
have these symptoms I will bo very
glad to make an examination and tell
you if ( he cause Is in your eyes. If It
Is glasses for reading will bo a comfort
to you and will keep your eyes from
growing worso.

The microbes that cause chills and
fever and malaria enter the system
through mucous membranes made
porous by catarrh. Pe-ru-na heals the
mucous membranes and prevents the
entrance of malarial germs , thus pre
venting and curing these affections.
