The ref erees In the case of the State of Nebraska gainst the I'nton I'acltlc railroad con cluded their work of lulling testimony In thin city toduy and adjourned to meet In Omaha tomorrow morning. Tho rhlef qties tlon Involved In tho action Is thn constitu tionality of tho State Hoard of Transporta tlon. Attorney (Jcnernl Smyth seeks to collect penalties for violation of an order Untied by the hoard In 1S!)7 ami thn prin cipal difensu offered Is that the law creat ing that hranrh of the state government Is defective In title and therefore Invalid. From Omaha the referees will go to New York to complete tho examination of rail road nfllclalH and testimony. Attorney General Hmyth will accompany them and conduct tho ease for tho state. This will make his second trip to New York In the Interests of Ills trust and corporation lit igation. The bar docket for the Soptemher term of tho supreme court contains 1,415 cases, or about 1,000 more than ran possibly be considered by the three Judges In ono year.

The cases against tho Burlington and Llkhnru railroads were submitted during the last term of court, but by general agreement of all parlies concerned thuy have been re opened again for argument on tho consti tutionality of tho llonrd of Transportation. It Is not probahlo that the referees In tho Standard Oil company ease will hu prepared to report their findings at tho first sitting nml consequently It Is believed that tho case will bo continued. The time for gath ering evidence was extended from August 1 to August 19 and It will bo at least two weeks later before the referees make their final report. School Money I,) llltt Idle, The last quarterly report of Treasurer Mescrvr shows that tho schools of tho Mate are rerelvlng no benefit, whatever from over $200,000 of permanent school money, which Is either lying Idlo In his custody or Is Invested In his own name nnd not In the name of the state. The constitu tion of Nebraska requires tho treasurer to Invest nil permanent educational funds for the benefit of Nebraska educational Insti tutions anil his failure to comply with Its provisions works u hardship upon the tax payers of the stale, as tho diversion of rev rnue from that amount of money Increases the amount that must be received from dher sources. Mr. Meservo announced ionic time ago tlmt within four months ho would have the major portion of the perma nent funds Invested, but his report for the three months ending August 31 shows nu Increase rather than n decrease In Hip cash on hand.

T. Cramp ton of Clay precinct. The picnic was held under the ailfplces of the Itoosevelt Hough Killers' club of Clay precinct nnd was a success In every particular. This precinct can show a large list of republican recruits. There are no less than fourteen voters who four years ago supported llryan und fusion who are this ear "supporting McKlnlcy nnd the flag." The following statements wero given to Tho Ileo correspondent nt the picnic yesterday: A man Is very liable to make mlstnkes In polities, hut one mistake gunrdi against an other. Four years. ago I winked and voted fur William J. Ilrynn and the democratic party. I see and nm willing to acknowl edge my mlstikc. The last three years of prosperity and republican administration, have been tuilllclent to com lure the most skeptical, I think, that the country has been governed with wisdom and patriotic Intentions. This year I positively refuse to give aid or support to a party or camlldato with principles repulsive to the best inter ests of the republic, or to aid or abet any schemes to 'haul clown the Hag" from any territory under the Jiirlrdlctlon of uiu Fnltid States. I am this year supporting .Mciviniey nnu tuo nag. j. i . niAjino.x. Developments of the last four years In tile Icmocratlc nartv are such that I believe It my duty to withdraw the support 1 gave Its presidential candidate four ears ago. I see only ruin to the country In the present nnlloles of that nartv. I Indict e that duty demands that every patriotic und prosperity Deiieving citizen or the country should sup port William .McKlnley und republicanism. That opinion, I believe, will come nearer being unatitmmiH this fall In Clay precinct than ever before. C. II COM STOCK. 1 cannot conscientiously mintmrt the plat form nor tlie candidates of the fusion party this year as I did four years ago. There Is no opportunity this jrar for an honest democrat to vote his principles with the fusion outfit, especially In Nebraska. Hot ter tlmoH, too, prosperity everywhere, make It Imperative that otery patriotic citizen vote for these better conditions. I nm for William McKlnley. I'J. C. llll'llAKDSU.N. Although not a voter four years nito I gave my support and worked hard for the election of W. J. llryan. Conditions ut present, resulting from wise legislation, warrant me lu the belief that tho Inter ests of the people are best subserved by repuoiienn principles una policies. rue prosperity prevalent In the bind makes It my duly us u young man nnd first voter to support the party and persons who have made these conditions possible Therefore I am wonting for anil will vote the straight republican ticket. HAUL I1HOWN. This year of all years should see tho triumph of republican principles. Loyalty to the country nnd future prosperity de mand it. Democracy can offer nothing In the way of prosperity superior to what we tire now enjoying. Looking backward four years the present afford a most pleasing contrast. At that time 1 thought I was doing the proper caper by voting for Wil liam .1. Hryan. Now I can see the error of my ways. This year I am supporting re publican principles and candidates. lll UhliV HHAFFKR. No more Ilrvanlsm for me. I hnvn learned my lesson lu the last four veins.

Tho prophecies of tho democrats mado four years ago wero thoroughly aired and extracts from Mr. Drynn's speeches mado In that campaign nnd tho ones he Is now making wero held up In odious comparison.

ACCIDENT ON JACOB RICHTMAN Defective .Mnybolt IlUahlm Boiler nnd Cnne Pnule Anionic l'nReiiKrr. A defective staybolt In a boiler of the steamer Jacob Rlchtmnn was the cause of an accident to that vessel Thursday after noon, precipitating n mild panic among thn passengers add delaying the return of tho boat nearly four hours. Two passengers Cnlob Haley, a Fnlon Pacific engineer nnd Edward Smith, n laborer, were iiulte se verely burned about the face and hands Tho others escaped with n "scare. The Jacob Rlchtman. with 130 passengers on board, made Its usual trip up the river Thursday afternoon. All went well until the boat had turned about In the channel near Florence and started on Its return. The first sign of trouble to thoso on tho lower deck was a loud hissing of steam, followed almost immediately by nn ex plosion that shook the boat. Instantly tho engine room and bar adjoining were filled wth vapor. This caused a general stampede to the windward side. Forturiatoly most of the women nnd chil dren were on the upper deck, whern tho atmosphere was virtually free front steam, but even from this point of view the great clouds of vapor that rolled up from the sides prrsented a most disquieting spectacle. Soot swept out by the rush of steam was mistaken by the passengers for smoke, nnd the first Impression was that the boat was on fire, t'nder this delusion many of tho women and children screamed with fright, nnd some of tho moro nervous tried to leap Into the wnter. The panic lasted for less than n minute, however, ns the lire under the disabled boiler was iiulckly quenched. The burning of Haley and Smith seems to have been due to the fact that they neg lected to fieo from the dangerous quarter at the first sound of escaping steam, as did a score or more others. The boiler Is not seriously Injured. Four teen staybolts were torn from their threads nnd the plate they held In placo Is twisted. The necessary supplies to make the re pairs will bo sent from Chicago. Tho boiler will hnvo to be examined by a government Inspector beforo It Is again placed In serv Ire, but meanwhile tho boat will run ns usual with one boiler. Tho two Injured passengers hnvo been sent to St. Joseph's hospital. The surgeon reports them not seriously burned.
