(From a Staff I'orrf sp--ndcnt )
LINCOLN, Oot. 3. (Special. )-0lty Attor
ney Council of Omaha ha appealed to the
supremo court from th decision of Judj?o
Dickinson In tho mutter of the implication
of Henry Coombs for a writ of habeas cor
pus for ThomnB Coombs and Charles Hoss,
who wore arrested ami convicted on the
iharge of hauling garbage without havln?
o contract with the city. Tho validity of
tho garbage ordinance Is Involved In tho
litigation. The appeal Is bated on seven
assignments of error, which arc as fob
lo.vs That the order releasing the men
was not mnalned by the evidence; that
the order was contrary to law; that tho
ordinance ami law warranted a refusal of
the writ, that rrror was eommltted by the
court In receiving a copy of the McDonald
contract, that error was committed In de
termining tho McDonald contract unauthor
ized and void, In determining tho gnrbagu
ord'nance void and In overruling a mo.
tlon for a new trial.
In a brief filed In the office of the court
City Attorney Connell asserts that tht
right of a city to grant an exclusive con
tract and privilege, which necessarily In
cludes the right to deny tho privilege to
another, has been fully nettled by tho de
cisions of the supreme court of Nebraska,
also by the supremo court of Michigan.
The opinions cited, Mr. Connell Insists, dis
pose, of all contentions that can be made
In this case and on the reasoning of these
authorities he suys tho lower court should
be reversed,
KITort to Cirt Acciirntc Stn t IMck,
The officers of the State Bureau of Labor
and Industrial Statistics are endeavoring
to formulate somo plan by which accurate
Btatlstlcs may b gathered In Nebraska.
With this purpose In view Deputy Commis
sioner Wntaon haB been corresponding with
statisticians In various parts of the country
and the replies so far received Indlcato
that only a few of the states succeed In
obtaining a complete registration. The fol
lowing discussion of tho subject was ro
reived today from Chief Crcssy L. Wilbur
of the vital statistics division of Michigan.
"You will find In the bulletin recently
Issued by the United Slatca census, No.
83, a statement of tho registration states
in this country which wore available for
tho purpose of tho census year 1&99-1900.
These states nro as follows, Including tho
District of Columbia, which is properly a
city Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont. New
Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island. New
York, New Jersey, District of Columbia
and Michigan, These nro all of the states
whose mortality statistics were sufUclontly
accurate to be included In tho census re
port as registration states.
"Many other states have endeavored to
collect mortality statistics, but In most
cases with vory poor success. Some of
these are: Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Florida, Alabama, Ohio, Kentucky. Tennes
see. Illlnbls, Iowa. Wisconsin. Minnesota.
California and Washington. There nro two
states which have adopted modem systems
of registration, but so recently that their
resultH could not bo passed upon by the
census, to I am not sure whether they can
be Included In thP list of registration states
or jot. .These are. Colorado and Indiana. Of
the latter I am 'culto stire that the accuraev'
of the registration Ib very good. I may
nay also that tho state of Illinois has
ndoptcil a new law by which certificates
of death will be required. This law. If
effectually administered, may perhaps bring
Illinois In the list of registration states,
although It has some very serious organic
effects.
"I hope that In the near future Nebraska
may adopt a satisfactory law for the regis
tration of vital statistics. Should any such
legislation be undertaken, howovcr. It will
bo of great Importance to avoid the verv
serious mistakes which are very frequently
made, Thus, Iowa only a few years ago
adopted new registration laws for the col
lection of deaths, which any person at all
Informed In registration methods could
havo said from the start would he utterly
worthless In practice, as they have sluco
turned out to be.
"At a meeting of the American I'ubllc
Health association at Buffalo this week I
understand that there will be a discussion
of a standard form of certificate of death.
This Is the root of tho registration subject,
ins requirement of a proper certificate of
death to be filed with tho loral registrar
In advance of Interment."

(From n Stnff Correspondents
DES MOINES, Oct. 3. (Sptclnl.)-The
sixth nnnunl meeting of the National Grain
Dealers' association closed here this even
ing, and It was reported by all Interested
to be the most satisfactory and eu?cesaful
ever held. The association wit be, If pres
ent plans aro carried out, virtually reor
ganized before another year nnd placed on
more of a business basis nnd as a national
association. The membership is now so
large that It can begin to hnve some In
fluence In national affairs ns related to the
transportation and shipping questions. The
grain Inspectors have orgmlzed with a view
to securing absolute uniformity In grain
Inspection and grading, and congress will
be naked on behalf of the grain dealers to
revise the Interstate commerce law with a
view to better transportation matters.
The convention adjourned after re-electing
Its old officers, recommending Mem
phis as the scat of the next convention and
ndcptlng resolutions mcmcrlnllz ng congrcsj
to nmend tho Interstate commerce law;
condemning bucket shops; recommending
the organization of the government crop
scrvlco nnd Its co-operation with the Na

tho Kansati City exchange to repeal Its
rule forbidding nfflllatlon within any other
organization, and Inviting It to aflMlatc with

A fight In the convention nnd a posslblo
split In tho association were averted by
the refusal of the committee on resolu
tion', to Incorporate Into :t) report a res
olution prepared by a committee from the
Chicago Board of Trado condemning the
use of sulphur In doctoring grain. This
resolution met such severe opposition from
so many of the dealers, both from Chi
cago and elsewhere, that a compromlso
was effected by the adoption of the bucket
ehop resolution.
Adopt-. Arbitration Scheme.
Tho convention adopted In full the ar
bitration scheme reported by the arbitra
tion committee. It also adopted a new sot
of trado rules, requiring purchasers to mall
confirmation of card or wire bids; defining
"Immediate," "quick" and "prompt" ship
ment; requiring purchasers to wire billing
Instructions for prompt shipments; requir
ing the seller to notify the purchaser on
tha last day before the expiration of the
time specified If he will be unnble to fill
the sale; making the seller liable to de
murrage 'charges; requiring sellers to de
liver grain fully up to sample; requiring
sellers to load In accordance with the rules
of originating roads, the sender to pay
all telegrams; surplus shipments to bo
handled according to rules of markets to
which shipped; no grain sold on regular
market terms to bo forwarded by the pur
chaser to interior points without the con
sent of tho seller, and requiring shippers
to mall detailed Invoice of every shipment.
.tKHln. Bucket .Shop.
Tho following resolutions were passed on
the question of bucket shops and kindred
dovlccs'
Wtiereas, Tho so-called dealing In bucket
shops has become tho national mode of
gambling and consists of merely betting
on tho lluetuntlons of tho market prices
of commodities nnd securities bought nnd
sold on the commerclul nnd llnnnclal ex
changes of the country; nnd,
Whereas, This form of gambling Is n
serloiiH detriment to tho grnln trade nnd
a constant menace to vnlues, thereby work
ing n great Injustice and Injury to pro
ducers throughout the land as well ns
tending to promote a low state of public
morals; therefore, be It
Resolved. That the Grain Dealers' Na
tional association In convention assembled
respectrully nut urgently petition the con
gress of the United Stale"; to so nmend
paragraph ,'t of schedule A of the United
States war revenue act by Increuslnc tho
ratio of tnxntluii on this Illegal
and pernicious truftV carried on In
bucket shops na tn render tho Fame un
profitable; nnd that whenever tho war
revenue net shall be repealed tho said ec
tlon be permanently Incorporated In the
United States excise laws.
Resolved, Thnt a copy of this resolution
be forwurded to rncb of the houses of con
gress nnd to each senntor and congress
man from the several stntes represented
In the membership of the Grain Dealers'
National association.
Growth of Rlerittor Itimlncnii.
Frank H. Peavey of Minneapolis, In dis
cussing the elevator business, said;
I will give you briefly my innervations
and experiences, covering a period of thirty
vuiirts iivii uuu in in mm i ii'i'itii euurifii
In a feed store with less than n carload
of assorted grain and today this same firm,
wnirn nns never cnungeu uh name, con
trols nnd prnctlcnlly owns elevntors scat
tered throughoit tho country of nn aggre
gate stoingu capacity of SO.(k,0iDO hushels.
l urst cnance 10 iiuiik now wheat was
handled in Sioux City. In.. In 1SG7 that
section which now boasts of Its magnifi
cent corn crop and hns Its corn palaces
was supposed to be beyond tho corn belt
at the time I mention. In those days the
aggregate wneai receipts were small, al
though the entlro country to the west was
trlbutnr. Fnrmers delivered the grain In
acks and the grain merchant used his
back to convey the wheat tn one corner
of tho warehouse; later It wns rrsacked
and carted to n Missouri river steamboat
nnd shlppeil to umnna, the then nenrest
railroad point.
With the advent of the railroad came
partitioned warehouses, nnd those among
you old In the tuslncss will recall how we
fought for hill or knoll locations high
enmnrh tu snout our cars withojt rchnncl.
ling. Lntcr came the balloon elevator
driven by one blind horse, with a fanning
mill In tho basement. Some of you will
remember alternating between the mill nnd
the horse, using the same stick for both.
What nro now known aw line elevntor
companies had their origin In the early
seventies, and one of the first was located
on tho Dnkoln Southern railroad from
Sioux City to Yankton, u distance of slxtv
rive miles (one of tho HrBt roods to Invnde
Dakota) now known as a branch of the
I'hlciiRO, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway.
The most phenomenal growth of tho
grain business has occurred in tho north
west, with Minneapolis nut! Duluth ns ter
minals. When we commenced doing busi
ness through Duluth tho elevator capacity
of that city wns 3.W,ouO birhels; toouy it
has n capacity of 32.cno.CifO bushels, Min
neapolis In lssn had an elevator capacity of
l,000,0i bushels; In 1901 Its elevator ca
pacity Is 33.OH0.O0O bushels.
Diverging n little It may Interest you
to note the Immense growth of the grain
option of speculative business In the north
west. Citing Minneapolis nlone. tho (rHt
pit wns put In on tho Hour about lourteeu
years ago; afterward It wos taken out on
account of no business, a couple of jenrs
later It was again tried and succeeded, and
s.nco that time has grown to very large
proportions. Last year the trades aver
aged nearly S,t.(V) bushels per day of
wheat nlone. The Inrgest trade of' any
ono day was 2l.ii0,00n bushels of wheat
dizzy tlgures and practically the growth
ot ton jears.
Ill the old times wo have paid 20 cents
per b.ishel freight chargra on wheat from
uulutli to liuffnlo; todny we regard a 2.
cent rate excessive, nnd have shipped
wheat for three-fourths of n cent. In
1&S5 the all-rail rnte from Fargo to the
seaboard on whrnt was 39 cents ier bushel
and this tall the rnte has been 21 cents
ner bushel. In other words, the nrmlnenr
I at Fareo can ship hU train to the sea
board and sell It for Is cenls less than he
did In I.'vj and still realize as tmi.il men.

expenditure of this money would be for
the bcnellt of the entire community.
llcfeiuU Wenther Bureau.
John R. Sage of the Iowa weather bureau
defended thut branch of the government
bcrvlco, saying:
Within limited areas of our broad domain
there have been drouths und relative short
age of crops In nearly every season. It
Is this constunt swinging of nature's pendu
lum from excess to ilenclcncy of bent .ind
moisture that causes anxiety from the tlmo
of planting till the crops aro safely gui
ncred, A hnrd blow nt the corn belt strikes
below the belt. For It Is hero the sur
plus must bo produced for shipment to re
gions of scant production and general fail
ure of the staple cropi In this vast pio
duclng nren would reduce millions of peo
ple to short rutlons. During the period
of extreme ht.it und aridity lust July, when
the hot winds weio killing tho tns.-els tti
the cornfields and strong blasts of hot nlr
were nweeplng through tho corn pit 1 1
Chicago, thete was somo real occasion for
the panic that caused many people to Ion:
their heads. But the outcome, us In the
experience of former seasons, proves that
the scare was greater than the aclli il
calamity. When we have llnlshcd tak.ng
account of stock wo shall llnd a mighty big
quantity of cereals and forage on nand
for the approaching winter, though for the
whole country the output of merchantable
corn Is probably 6UO,0,K).UM bushels below
the average of our best seasons.
IIciihoiik for Spots lii Corn Hell.
The newspapers and grain dealers ttll
us the corn crop this year Is good only 111
spots nnd narrow belts. ThW Is true nnd
tho reason is found In the fact that the
showers fell In spots and belts In tho
critical period of growth. And the close
observer of the facts nnd lecords us to
the rainfall during the season was best pre
pared to make nn estimate its to the final
yield. Throughout this corn nnd wheat belt
the really competent crop exports are tho
men who have mnde the most thorough and
comprehensive study of climatic condi
tions as well ns crop statistics. It follows,
then, thnt Improvements In the crop re-
Cortlng system may be made only through
ringing It Into closer connection with the
weather bureau and by enlarging the seupu
of the bureau's work In Its climate and
crop division. My experience In this lino
of work hns deepened the conviction that
the wenther service and crop reporting
service nuturally and logically should to
conjoined.
For the benefit of producers, dealers and
consumers there Is need of Improvement In
this line, especially In the wny of obtain
ing morn full data ns to rainfall In tho
critical months of the crop season. Insofar
as may be practicable, all our township
crop reporters should be provided with
rain gnuses and in times of special sties
nnd anxiety wo should have dullv reports
by telephone from every county wherein
showers have fallen. In other words, tho
corn nnd wheat region reports should b
greatly enlarged In scope whenever the
conditions arc deemed critical enough to
warrant tho extra expense. There Is posi
tive need of fuller and more complete
rainfall data.
Closer To ii eh . rer usury.
In various states, as In Ion-n. Ohio nrd

Dr. J. W. Heston of tho South Dakota Aj
rlculturnl coIIck'. In a paper on "Farmers'
Opportunities," discussed the necessity ot
government aid for the reclamation of the
arid lauds of tho webt. 11c declared that
private enterprise had already iiacompllshcd
all that was possible to be done, und noth
ing further could bo expected until the son
oral government came to aid.
Ho said that tho general government had
received J5UO.uOO.000 from tlio salu of west
ern lauds since 1875 anil thought It not tin
reasonable to ask that .1115,000,000 a year bi
expended for ton years In tho reclamation
of lands capable of supporting n population
etiuiil to tha present population of the United
States. Ilo declared that the states could
not dtnl with thu pioblcm and that nothing
could be done until tho general government
mado an appropriation, nnd ho urged the
Farmers' congress to press tho (matter to
the attention of congrews.
The discussion developed thu probability
that n resolution would bp adopted tomor
row In favor of national legislation to aid
the irrigation of arid lands of tho west.

HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glass with your
water nnd lot U stand twenty-four hours;
a sediment nr settling Indicates nn un
healthy condition of the kidneys; If It
stains the linen It Is evidence of kidney
trouble; too frequent deslro to pass It, or

that tho kidneys and bladder aro out of
order.

Hoot, Iho great kidney and blndder rem
edy, fulfills every wish In curing rhouma

necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to got up many times
during the night. Tho mild nnd tho ex

wonderful cures of the most distressing
