(From n Stnft Cornspondent.)
LINCOLN, Aug. .!. (Special.) There will
bo another legal controversy over the office
of tax tommlrslonrr and tho legality of the
city charter, p.. 0. Whedon, nctlng In behalf
of a local corporation, Instituted quo war
ranto proceedings coveral monthes ago nnd
the supreme court decided against him on
every objection ho raised with a view of
Invalidating the city charter law. Today
Mr. Whedon filed a motion with the su
prcme court clerk for a rehearing.
Mr. Whedon Insists that the court In the
rrcent decision must have misunderstood
him, as the decision Is based on claims he
never trade. As an example ho Insists that
the law wns. void because of the uncertainty
of Home of Its clauses. For Instance, tho
law names the commissioner as the assessor
Df tho city and then empowers him to name
five deputies not to afslst him but to actu
illy do tho asserting. The law, he claims,
appoints an officer and then furnishes other
olllcers to do his work. Again It does not
say whether tho commissioners shall act
separately or together In assessing the city.
On several minor points he takes Issue
Tilth the supremo court commissioners, lie
Insists that some of the premises of the
court arc Immaterial and foreign to the
question at hand. Ho disputes the asser
tion of tho court that equality of taxation
meaiiB uniformity within the same taxing
district.
The court In the opinion declares that
the city charter Is In legal accord with the
general revenue law upon which It Is baaed.
Tho courts maintain that to annul the Lin
coln charter would bo to wipe out every
revenue Htatutc In operation In the state ns
well as the Omaha city charter, from which
tho tax commissioner section of the Lin
coln charter was copied.
Among attorneys, the course of Mr. Whe
don awakens considerable surprise. The
decision of tho court was broad and sweep
ing, they declare, not n single contention of
Mr. Whedon being unhcld.

Nebraska's Hot July
LINCOLN, Aug, 19. (Special.) Section
Director Loveland of the United State De
partment of Agriculture reviews the Ne
braska weather for July as follows:
"The first week In July was warm, with
heavy showers In eatern counties and
light showers In western; the next two
weeks were excessively hot, with only an
occasional shower, and the last week was
very hot, with genoral showers.
'The harvesting of winter wheat waa
completed early In tho month, and thresh
ing progressed rapidly during the last three
weeks. The yield was largo and the quality
excellent. Spring wheat and oats suffered
seriously during the second and third weeki
from dry, hot weather and chlnchbugi.
The oat crop of this year, which never
promised a good yield, was about ruined In
many southern counties, a large number of
fields being cut for hay. The result of the
dry weather was not to serious In northern
counties, but the yield there was reduced
one-third or one-half In many places, and
in some places even more.
"Gross In pastures was badly damaged
by tho drouth In southern counties, and by
the middle or last of the month feeding the
stock In pastures commenced Jn most
southern couutlos. In the northern and ex
treme western counties pastures wore In
much better condition and generally fur
nished sufficient feed for stock. Ha) Ins
was In progress the last half of the month;
tho crop Is light In southern counties, but
generally above tho average In northern.
Infarorahle for Corn.
"Tho extremely high temperature, com
bined with a great deficiency In rainfall,
was very unfavorable for co"rn. Early
planted corn was about ruined In alt except
a few northern counties, where It was con
siderably damaged. Late planted corn suf
fered severely. All corn was backward and
tasseled later than usual, and thus stood
the drouth better than It would have done
If It had reached normal development for
the season of the year. Late corn was
Improved somewhat by the rains of the last
week of the month, but most fields had boon
considerably damaged before the rains and
somo fields even of late corn were prac
tically ruined.

Daniels says:
"I, Francis Daniels, being duly sworn,
on oath depose and say that I am a resi
dent of tho state of Nebraska. That on
tho evening of July 5, 1901, 1 left Omaha,
Neb., In company with Richard Latta.
Lntta and I went over the Omaha railway
on train No. 24, northbound. When near
Blair Latta and I left the train and walked
back south about two and a half miles to
the home of my wife's parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Sam Brown. Early the following
morning, July the 6th, wo proceeded In
an easterly direction to the west bank of
the Missouri river, thence north to the
Blair bridge, which we crossed to tho Iowa
side. Wo then went to the homo of my
stepbrother. It. Olllon, where wo had
dinner. After dtnuer wo went to the
Cut-Off lake, where we spent the after
noon fishing. In the evening Latta and I
went to California Junction. I was with
Latta at the time the train going west
pulled Into the Junction. I was standing
near the car and watching for Latta when
he entered the car. I told him I would do
so.
"I further depose and say that I wss
there at the request and solicitation of
Chief DctectUc Fred M. Hans. Hans told
me to accompany Latta. I told Hans that
I did not want to get Into trouble. He
sold I was working for him nnd shauld
go. I told him I could not afford to lose
tho time. He replied that my time would
go on Just tho same and 1 would get a
piece of money besides. Hans said he
would see the ofTlccrs of the road and fix It
all right. Hans said he would bo on that
merchandise train going west that Sat
urday evening. I expected that Hans was
on tho train when It pulled Into tho
Junction."
Daniels said ho was and has been at all
times willing to make this statement and
that ho did make the statement to Chlof
of Police Albro of Council Bluffs, as testi
fied by the chief. He further said that
tho only reason ho had been keeping tho
same still was because Hans In tho pres
ence of Sheriff Skclton at the Council
Bluffs Jail told him to say nothing and not
to go on the witness stand.
Tho confession of Daniels corroborates tho
confession of Latta and the matter of
tracing blm to tho place of the crime has
bfon corroborated by the testimony of
parties from tho time they left Omnha until
they were seen near California Junction.
The preliminary hearing of Hans was set
for August 20, but o continuance has been
taken by Hans until Septembor 10.
Assistant Acting County Attorney Georgo
W. Egan has spent much time In looking
p testimony In the raso and has dis
covered a great deal more than Is apparent
from Daniels' confession.

CHICAOO, Aug. 19. (Special Telegram.)
Dr. E. Monjamln Andrews of tho University
of Nebraska Iocturcd on "Temperance" In
the University of Chicago today and said
that when Paul told Timothy to "tako a
little wine for your stomach's sake" he
meant that Timothy should drink real wino.
"Our Mlblo students," said Dr. Andrews,
"have tried to nrove that tho wine snokon
of In the Dlble was not real wine, but this;
Is not true. Wine means wlno, both In tho
Old and New Testament. Timothy wm a
very ambitious man and consequently n
sovere worker. Paul advised him to take a
llttlo wine. Do not regard Paul as Intern-
perate on this account, for there was less
danger then than now from Intemperance,
because people were In tho open air bo
much. The dangor then was from Impure
water, as the wells were In the midst of
dense populations and were not free from
contamination."
Dr. Andrews declared that while a llttlo
alcohol might not bo injurious, total ab
stinence was the best aud safest rule for
most people. Ho said that tho strenuous
llfo of the present time was intoxicating
and that additional stimulant would be dan
gerous.

ANN ARDOR, Mich., Aug. 19. The 12-year-old
son of Martin Howard, who lives
north of this city, was shot In the head
yesterday and sneered out tho bullet. Ho
and a younger brother had found a rovolver
belonging to their father. Tho smaller boy
pointed It at his brother, supposing It to
be unloaded, and tho revolver was dis
charged. Tho bullet entered the head of tho
older boy behind the ear, passed around tho
base of the brain and lodged ln tho roof of
the mouth.
Medical assistance from tho city was
summoned, but beforo the doctor arrived tho
victim was taken with a sneezing fit. Dur
ing one of bis "kerchoos" tho bullet was
forced through tie flesh In tho mouth and
dropped out. When tho physician arrived
he stopped tho flow of blood from tho
wound. Tho boy will recover.

PEN8ACOI,A, Fia Aug. 19. It Is feared
that the Russian bark Neptune, Captiln
Zctkoff, which sailed from hero August 10
for Montevideo, was lost in the recent

fact that pieces of stern of n vessel with
the name '"Neptune" were picked up today
on the outer bench of Santa Rosa Islnnd,
several miles out. William Iomtxon, nn
ex-pilot of this city, was a passenger on the
