The' Injunction which was so suddenly
brought to the attention of the court was
Issued by Judge Dundy August 2. 1S93, and
was served on the attorney general and all
members of the State Iloard of Transporta
tion. It prohibited the Chicago, Rock
Island &. Pacific Railroad company from
making, publishing or posting a schedute
of Its rates and from reducing their charges
from the rates charged on July 31 of that
year to those prescribed in the maximum
freight law, and from obeying, observing or
conforming to the commands, provisions
and prohibitions of said act. Regarding
proceedings that might be commenced by
the attorney general for violation of the
act the Injunction read as follows?
And that the said attorney general be in
like manner eniolned from bringing or aid
ing, or bringing or causing- to lie brought,
or advising to be brought, any proceeding
by way of Injunction or mandatory, or
other process or civil action, or indictment
against said company for or on account of
any act of omission on their part of the
commands or ram nousc ron m.
It is said in behalf of the former attorney
generat that he did not know this Injunc
tion waa In force when the suit' was begun,
but It is nevertheless true that it was
served on the office and that a copy of the
order was in his desk when be retired at
the end of his term.
At the close of the last sitting the su
preme court Instructed Clerk Herdman to
notify the various attorneys Interested that
they would be given an opportunity to
argue tho questions that arose from the In
junction, but no order was made on the
motion to submit the case. The questions
propounded by the court were:
Does the Injunction bind the attorney
general In his official capacity, or as a
member of the State Board of Transporta
tion? Does it bind Ills successors In office?
Doea the Injunction nftect the state?
Can it affect the state7
Is an injunction against the Rttorjiey
general In effect an Injunction against the
state?
The tase haa been assigned on the ien
dar for the next sitting a'nd ft Is probable
that the attorneys will be prepared to
argue the questions at that time.

Nebraska's University
There had been several "State Unlreral
ties" and "Universities of Nebraska" char'
tered In territorial days, but none of tbem
had survived the Infantile maladies, so
statehood found Nebraska with no provision
for higher education. The bill establishing
the university was Introduced into the state
senato February 11, 1S63, and four days
later on the last day of the session It
was signed by the governor. The Srit build
ing came Into being hand In hand with the
first building erected at Lincoln for the
care of the. Insane. The bill as Introduced
provided for the erection of the "State
Lunatic Asylum," and a "State. University
and Agricultural College." On motion of
the member from Lancaster county the
order was reversed, leaving the university
at the head of the procession with the luna-
tics, or as tome one has put It, the "other"
lunatics following In the rear.

university authorities that they should fix
the entrance requirements, must not be
criticised too severely, for the standard of
the public schools had first to be raised to
a proper level, before It was safe to accept
their work as a sufficient basis for higher
education. Sometimes the demands seemed
excefslve and drastic, but it is believed that
no public school man would now deny that
theso very demands were of prime lm-
portancc In creating a healthy public sentl-
mcnt In favor of high Ideals. Greek, Latin,
modern languages, higher mathematics, as
well as many other subjects, were forced
Into the curriculum upon a reluctant public,
and in some cases, a reluctant teaching
force as well, when the teachers knew It
meant a change of occupation to them. The
writer Is also desirous of stating that be

Is no burden on any to pay the few dollars
of taxes that may result from free tuition,
There Is a.n enormous burden placed upon
those whom misfortune or Ignoble ancestors
have left to struggle for even the necessities
of life. Tbe very Idea of democracy, of the
brotherhood of man, of American idealism
condemns in radical language a suggestion

ernors were present and witnessed tho
reconciliation.
"We'll let bygonea be bygones." said
Mr. Boyd when he met his predecessor in
office and both grasped hands as would
old-time friends. Governor Dietrich and
the six former chief executives then posod
for a photograph and af'erward Boyd and
Thayer stood togethr-r in front of the
camera.
The former rulers of the state's des
tinies that met with Governor Dietrich
were Robert W. Furnas, John M. Thayer.
James E. Boyd. Lorcnro crounse, snas A.,
Holcomb and William A. Poynter. It was
the unanimous opinion that the annual
meeting of former governors on Wash

told by the guests, but politics was left
entirely out of the conversation.

Hon. W. N Roach, United States senator from North Dakota, personally
endorses Pcruna, the great catarrh cure and tonic. In a recent letter to The
Peruna Medicine Company, at Columbus. Ohio, written from Washington, I.
C. Senator Roach says.
"Persuaded by a friend I h.tve used Pcrtttn us a tonic, and I
nm glad to testify that it lias greatly helped mc in strength, vlcor

ef ficticious as a cure for the almost tinivers.il complaint of c.ttarrh."

As a result of the changeable cli
mate, catarrh has beccme one of the
most prevalent and , universal dis
eases known to man. Nearly one
third of the people of the United
States are afflicted with catarrh In
some of Its many phases and stages
Add to this the fact that catarrh rap-
Idly tends to become fixed or chronic,
also tho further fact that It I capa
ble of producing a great many other
diseases, and we begin to realize the
true nature of this dread disease.
So formidable has catarrh become
that In every city or town of any size
numerous doctors aro to be found who
make the treatment of catarrh a
specialty. Of course, a great deal of
gcod Is accomplished in this way, but
as yet a comparatively small number
of tbe people can avail themselves of
this treatment, becuuse of the great
expense necesasrlly attached to It

remedy, Peruna comes sa a great
boon. Not only is It more successful
In curing catarrh than tbo treatment
of the catarrh specialists, but It lj
wttbtn tho reach of every person Jn
this land. Peruna can be bought a,
any drug store and Is a remedy with
out equal for cattrh in all forms,
coughs, colds, bronchitis, consump
tion and all climatic diseases of win
ter. Peruna is not a guess, nor an ex
periment; It is an absolute, scientific
certainty. Peruna cures catarrh
wherever located. Peruna haa no
substitutes no rivals. Insist upon
having Pcruna. Let no one persuade
ou that tome ether remedy will .do
nearly as well. Thero is no other
systematic remedy for catarrh but I'o
