Circuit C'nnrt of Aiirnl A HI mis the

LINCOLN", May 22. (Special.) At
torney General Smyth was notified yestcr
day that the United States circuit court of
appeals at St. Paul hnd affirmed tho do
cislon of Judge Mungcr of tho federal court
In retiming to grant an Injunction restrain
Inc the Hoard of Transportation from fix
Ing or regulating live stock and freight
rates. This action of tho court of appeals
will leave tho secretaries of tho board frco
to proceed In tho matter of ratr against
the Burlington railroad unless prevented by
the complicated railroad litigation now
pending before the supremo court.
Tho attorney general has Instituted suits
ngalnst nearly every railroad In Nebraska
to collect penalties for tho violation of
some of tho numerous orders of the Hoard
of Transportation or for violating the old
maximum freight rate law. No effort has
been ma"de to Hav'e'fhcfo cases advanced,
and If they aro taken up In their regular
order they will not be heard for a year
or more. In the meantime tho secretaries
of the Hoard of Transportation havo noth
lng to do hut draw their salaries.
It was learned at the state housn yes
torday that tho United States circuit court
of appeals at St. Louis had Issued a man
date directed to J. V. McDonald of thin
city, receiver of the defunct Capital Na
tional bank, compelling him to pay a divi
dend of 15 per cent on the money lot.t In
that bank when It failed. Tho state's por

It Is believed In tho legal department at

court until after It has been finally disposed

For almost thirty-five yexirs Nathaniel P.
Hill occupied a leading pcsltlon In the offi

When ho dlcl ho was the owner ot the
Boston Colorado, better known ns the
Argo, smelter, the chief owner of tho ell
fields at Florence, controlled by the United
Oil company, nnd the chief owner ot the
Denver Republican. Besides these he had
large Interests both In this state and Montana.
Senator IIIU was born In Orange county,
New York, In 1832. Ills father, of the same
name, was nn extensive farmer, owning a
large farm within a few miles of the Hudson
river. At lho ao of 21 Senator Hill entered
Brorn university. Chemistry was his es
pedal delight and he became so proficient In
It that In 1836 ho was made a tutor ln tho
chemical department of the university, and
In 1860 he was elected by the board of
trustees protestor of chemistry and contin
ued In that position until 1861. ln the mean
tlmo he had gained sucn a reputation ns a
scientist that n number of Boston nnd Provl
denco gentlemen wcic Induced to plnce at
his disposal a sufficient sum to enable him
to mako a thorough examination of the Gil

erecting his works nt Blackhawk thcro wore

Mr. Hill's political career began In 1879,
when he was brought out as a republican
candldato for United States senator. He was
successful nnd served six years In the upper
house of tho national congrets. Ho was de
