LINCOLN. June 5. (Special Telegram.)
In the Omaha fire and police case the
motion of City Attorney Conncll for lcavo
to Mo briefs on behalf of the rcsponden.s,
with tho objectionable portions of his former
brlcfa eliminated, was granted ny tne court.
Mr. Conncll disclaimed any intention or
ournosc In his former brief of reflecting on
any member of the court and contended tho ,
objectionable statements by reason of which '
his briefs were ntrlcken from the files w re j
merely historical statements and directed '
t0 opposing counsel and In that conned m
ir me rtsaurun rU
L t
Ih. brief fl.ed by Mr. Connel. today ?, ,
with a brief hl.tory of the case and a short ,
reference to the laws under which the, two I
commissions were appointed. Concern ng
the act authorizing the governor to appa.nt
the commissioners the brief says:
In n wnnl (h.i npnvlulnna rpfprfPfl tO. In
substance, put the locul lire und police
rnri nf mptronilttun oltles under .1
scheme of covr-mment of which the head
tin snime of l.ower nnd authority was the
irovernor of the state. Hon. Slla A. Hoi
comb, now a Judge of this court, wan at
that time governor of the state. Pursuant j
to the act mentioned and soon after Its I
SK tonMlU
Hoard of Fire and Police Commissioners of
the city of Omaha. These appointees In
due time uunlllled nnd entered upon the
! duties prescribed for them by law. Some
mon report tnat tne oltlzens of Omaha wero
awakening to the fact that the attempt to
limo in thf roiiowing January u was com
vest In the governor of the state and hi
nnnolntees the power to control, manage
and direct the local tire nnd police forced
of the city was a most dangerous Infringe
ment upon that right of local seir-govern-ment
which was the Inherent and inalien
able privilege of the citizens of Omaha. It
became DUblUiv known that the citizens of
Omaha, through their mayor and council.
were ant to take stuns to assert their do-
lltlral right by themselves appointing tho
memDers or tne Doarci.
Former Action Settles It.
The brief next treats In detail the former
case Involving the constitutionality of tha
law under which the governor made tha
appointments and adds:
The former action Is a complete bar to
this action. The law supporting that propo
sition Is clear and direct. In following its
course no difficulties of consenuence ob
struct the road, nor docs uny conlllct of
authorities give cause for perplexity or con
fusion. in the former action the state was the
original and principal party Invoking the
decision of the court. So It Is now. In the
former action the city of Omaha was Its
chief adversary. So It Is now. In the for
mer action the sole contention was whether
the governor of the state of Nebraska or
the mayor and city council of the city of
Omnhu has the right to designate tho mem
bers of the Board of Fire and Police Com
missioners of the city of Omaha. So it Is
now. Can that question be tried over nnd
over again between the same parties with
out ever reachlnc a Judcment which shall
he final between them? Can tho attorney
general of the stnte, as soon us this case
shall be decided agulnst him. pass from tho
Judges' room to the clerk's otllce and tile a
new Information reopening the same quar
rel between the same parties? Is this trial,
and tho Judgment to follow, a farce Can
not your honors enforce your Judgment
against any party who pleads his caso be
fore you? Can even the state voluntarily
enter your court room, claiming a right
against an adversary, and when yu
solemnly say the state has no such right,
can Its chief executive olSWr Immediate ,
In tho name of the state, exercise that rlgnt
and tell you to your faces that tho state
Is not bound by your Judgments and that
he, In his otllclal character, Is under no law
to obey your decrees against the state?
First, the legislature attempts to confer his
personal political rights upon tho governor
and then the governor defies the Judgment
of the courts In his effort to retain the
power unlawfully granted. It Is time that
even the governor of the state should be
admonished that he is neither the state nor
Its superior pillcer, but only one of its
ngents to whom Is entrusted the duty of
executing certain of Its laws according to
the construction put thereon by this court.
Your honors have protected the people
against the threatened encroachment upon
their rights. Wo can safely rely upon you
to maintain your own powers, tho dignity
of your oltlies and the elllcacy of your
judgments. The storehouses of the law fur
nish you with ample means for doing so.
to somo of which we now direct attention.
I'liivem of the liiirrrnnr,
Referring to tho constitutional power and
Jurisdiction of the governor of tho state tho
brief eaya:
ThP sovereign of Nebraska Is not a king
combining In himself all the attributes of
ovcrelgntv and sheltered by the maxim
that "the king can do no wrong." The peo
ple of Nebraska nre the sovereign. They
exercise the powers of sovereignty through
i ueir agents, wno are iu tne lawmakers of
the state (2) the law Interpreters of the
".l'"" V" l"u "lw eniorcers or me state
! Not "n '0,n of sovereignty abides in uny
tehA s'i' a1
the,m- for ,the time being, certain powers
nnd certain functions, which as mere
agents they hold and exercise. Tn tho lmv
makers Is delegated the power of mak
ing the lavys. To the law Interpreters
is delegated the power of construing
those laws and of pronouncing them
urn enact no law which in Its nature is
above or beyond the power and authority
of this court to declare absolutely null, void
mm in un rueti.
The brief closes with the following:
The constitutional questions involved In
this case are of more than passing Interest.

They say the girl had no sister In Omaha.
"I saw her in Kearney Sunday," said ono

out and Is guaranteed for one year, after which It can be renewed nnd will last
many years. No other belt can be renewed for any price.
The electrodes on other belts are covered with chamois In Imitation of my pat
ent, but when you examine them you will see that they ure the same old style
electrodes arranged to deceive the eye, but useless in the application of electricity
so as to be curative. If you unfortunately have an old-style belt that burns or
gives no current, I will take It as part pay for one of mine.
My new Electrical Suspensory for the cure of various weaknesses of men Is
FREE to every male purchaser of one of my Belts,

Is the only wonderful conveyor of
electricity to the human system yet
devised It is a godsend for weak men
und Is demonstrating Its virtue every
day In cases where lives seemed
wrecked nnd the most powerful drugs
and tonics would not even stimulate
the heart and nerves to healthy action
and give even temporary vigor I have
had men come to me and weep like
children trying to repent the same
story of physical downfall they had
often told to many an unskilled spe
cialist. I have taken hold ot these
men with common sense logic about
electricity, showing them what Dr.
Dennett's Electric Belt had done for
others, gave them a sample trial to
convince them that my Belt sends the
currents passing through the entire
body Instead of harnessing nnd keep
ing them on the outside, and In a few
months I cured these men so that they
nre as strong, tlno examples of human
ity as any one would wish to meet.
