The annual convention of the Nebraska
Btato Uar asjoclatlon came to nn end yon

third vice president, V. T. Vllcux, North
riattcj secrotary, Itoscoe round, Lincoln;
treasurer, C. A. floss, Omaha, member of
executive council, It, V. DrHckenrldgo.
At the opening of the afternoon session
Francis A. HroRnn iiresentcd some phases
of "The MnkliiR of Laws." He roferrcd to
the power of courts to set usldo the ac
ton of lpclnlnturcbi dlvldlnf; this power
Into two classes, one where the act Is'
opposed to t lit) fundamental Ir.ws of tho
land and tho other where tho net wns de
fective In ItH form or operation. .
"In tho cxerclso of this power," said he,
"lhcro has been n well-defined growth. At
first thcro was u ntrung minority In favor
of' permitting n legislature to dcflno ItH
own, Hcopo of action. At first this power
was chndncd to setting aside laws abhor
rent to the constitution; then came a time
wjien some stat ronstltlitlons made pro
visions regarding the form of bills, Moro
ivh lmvo been net aside In the statu of
Nebraska on account of defective form
than In any other state In tho union. Tho
supremo court In this state has gone muHi
further than courts in other stntes. In
tlls 'state, before it lawyer can advlso a
cllont as to tho force, of n law, ho must
not only lmvo a copy of the session laws,
bu.t a full copy of the Journals of both
houses, and then must take chances on
thoso records having been mutilated.
X'onniillililtliHI of I, ml .MIkM I'nll.
"In tho matter of tho consolidation of tin
rlllts In IJouglao county It Is safo to sav
that no bill enn be prepared nuil passed
which will successfully stand tho scrutiny
of the supreme court under tho terms of
the present constitution. So complex havo
become tho subjects of legislation that tt
has become Impossible to draft n bill
which can be' said to nh.solutoly contain but
ono 8UbJect.lTlie true' remrdv- for the evil
Is to omit from tho now constitution of the
elnto of 'Nebraska the provisions which wo
have been considering. Tho ofTecl of this
will bo to confer moro power upon tho leg
islature, but It 1h to be remembered that
tho conferring of power has a tendency to
beget a conscientious performance of n
public duty."
K. 0. Cnlklns of Kenrnoy read a paper on
tho subject of "Reforms In Revenue Laws."
The speaker referred to tho permanent
school fund of tho stnto as a standing
temptation to weak men nnd ft constant
uunieu u) Hining mini m uiu iiiulii in iiium-
urcr; ho said that the system of setting
natdo special funds for the redemption of
cortaln obligations should tie discarded.
Referring to assessments, ho' said that
property should bo assessed at ItH full value
nnd tho rnto should bo correspondingly
rqduccd. Tho best system of taxation Is
thni which taxes least.
Tho last paper of the afternoon was bv
Ucoe IViund. on the subject of "Tho Do
cadenco of Equity." Tho paper was an nblo
discussion of a matter of great Interest lo
lawyers.
At tho conclusion of this address Chair
man Wright of tho memorial committee ro
portcd sultnblo resolutions of respect for
the memory otW.3. Strftyvn nnd Judge
Clinton N. Powell, tho only members of the
association wlin illocl since, the last meeting.
Vrluht, on.lrrlftiitloii.
At ye3tert)ay ' morning's session the first
subject discussed wna that of "Irrigation,"
on which a paper was presented by 0. 0.
Wright. Ills conclusions wero as follows:
The, common law doctrine ot riparian
rights to meandered streams in this state
and partlctilurly tho Plntto river nro not
liuil have never been considered applicable
on account of the condition In the state,
tho necessity nt modlllcntlon of tho old
rule, the character of the streams and tho
established public pulley of the state.
Tho common law doctrine of riparian
rights Is not applicable to the meandered
htrcnms of this state because the lltlu to
' the beds of ItH streams ami to tho waters
thereof were vested In tho Htato by the
organlu act of Ncbrnskn and this doctrine
t ilpurlau rights, limiting tin use of
wntcrs for irrigation, has no application to
publlu waters, but only to thoso streams
which may bo ilenonitnatcd private waters
or which. Haw through or over a man's
land. " . . u
Tho legislative history of this stato In
assuming the control of the beds ami
vaters of meandered streams has been such
that tu one purchasing lands along tho
bunks of Hyi'li'HtrcuniH can claim any right
as against thb state In Its power to divert
nnd use tho waters of said streams.
Lunger anil 'HIm Jury.
Judge W. O. Hastings of Crete presented
tho second paper, which was 'a discussion of
"Tho Lawyer and His Jury." Tho speaker
brlolly' traced tho early form ot Jury trial;
Its dqvrlopmcnt nnd moditlcatlon from the
Introduction ot tho Inquisition by William
tho Conqueror. Ho said that tho Jury sys
tem was tfio cause ot the vitality of the
common law.
At the request of the association J ml go
Y. O. Itamer of Keurney presented u paper
on tho BUbJect of "Irrlgutlon," In which ho
particularly discussed tho ubo 'of wator In
Nebraska.
Tho following pcrsbn'R wero admitted to
No cures to report,
of testing, nothing to
dence but talk, all talk. lhat s the
truth about nearly all cough medicines.
But there's a record of 60 years of cures
tback of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. And phy
sicians endorse it, prescribe it for colds,
bronchitis; and coughs of all kinds, j Prob
ably your own doctor does. Ask him. He ,
knows all about it has the formula.
"I know- from personal' experienco that Ayer's Cherry Pectoral la the 'I
best mcdlclno la tho world for quickly breaking up a heavy cold that has
settled on the lung." D. C. Snedkkkr. Tine Hill, N. V,

FROM MORPHINE POISONING

In llnlltrn).
Charles llmnctt, 45 years old, a well
known character of the east end, died lu
tho Presbyterian hospital shortly after 12
o'clock Friday, supposedly of morphlno
poisoning. Though detectives wero engaged
In Investigating the case nearly all ot Fri
day ntyemoon, little could be learned about
It. lie was found about noon lying uncon
scious In a hallway on tho second floor of
1010 Capitol avenue, where ho lived with
a notorious woman named '"Illg Hertha."
An lumato of the houso who found him
called a hack, nnd had him sent to tho hos
pital, Vthora h'c died In a few minutes.
Tho phvslclans nt tho hospital wero un
ablo to determine positively tho cause of
death, nnd this probably will not be known
utflll nfter tho autopsy. Tho body, at the
request of friends, was sent to tho under
taking houso of Heafey & Hcafey, after
which tho coroner was notified. Ho Is now
Investigating the case.
Ilennett was known ns on absinthe
drinker, nnd he had been drinking heavily
for several, weeks. Lato Thursday night ho
was seen leaving tho Turf saloon In a state
ot maudlin Intoxication, and this, so far
ns" known, was the last seen nt him until
he was found unconscious In tho hallway.
At ono tlmo during tho afternoon tt was
reported that ho had been murdered by a
woman who was Jealous of his attentions
to another, but tho police wero unablo to
find any foundation for such a theory. In
tho opinion of thoso who worked on the
enso ho died either of an overdoso of mor
phine administered with suicidal Intent, or
as tho result of excesstvo drinking. Ho Is
not known to havo nny relatives living.
A collection Is being taken up among tho
habitues ot the cast end to pay his funeral
expenses.
Coroner Ilralley said: "I haven't had
nny tlmo to look up tho caso as yet, but I
shall do so tomorrow. Ono ot tho doctors
from the hospital telephoned mo that he
thought tho man died from natural causes,
but I hear from other sources that ho died
ofi poisoning. If tho, factB warrant t I
shall order an autopsy nnd hold nn Inquest.

Omnha peoplo aro thoroughly familiar
with tho norvo-racklng possibilities ot Sar
dou's exposition of what Jealousy may lead
to. They know also Just what Mr. Mac
Dowell conceives to bo tho character of
Scarpla. Thrroforo tho only Interest that
might have been folt In last evening's per
formance centered around Miss Stone.
liven this Interest was not sufficient to
attract a large'nudlcn'co to'the theater. It
requires more than mcro curiosity to In
duco peoplo to undergo the strain of tho
terrible, third and fourth acts of this piece,
nnd having had Iiernlianlt, Davenport and
Walsh In tho part, not once but several
times each, tho Omaha public Is evidently
willing to tako Miss Stone's will for the
deed.
Miss Stono certainly gives an Intelligent
Interpretation of tho part. Sho has 'the
charms of person and grace ot carriage
that might havo marked the original Florla
as the prey of the unscrupulous Scarpla,
and n volco that Is excellently adapted to
the requirements. Through the, trying
scenes of tho third and fourth nets she
bears herself with effective force and skill.
Her acting Is most natural tn Its. detail,
especially her grief and horror during the
torturo of her lover. In tho fourth act
sho rises well to tho holght ot tragedy.
Miss Stono will likely not be known to
many moro Omaha peoplo when sho leaves
than when sho came, but those who do Hp
to sco her will recall bor as a painstaking
and really clover actress.
"La Tosca" will bo given at a matlnca
today and again this evening,

Matter, Which Onlr Adds to
the Tronlilr of the
Authorities.
Secretary Charles Marsh of the local
Young Men's Christian association yester
day completed his annual report. It shows
that tho receipts for tho year 1901 from
all sources amounted to $2,002.63. In tho
matter ot disbursements 1,89.1 was spent
for salaries, whtlo $368 went for rent, fuel
nnd light. Tho physical department cost
lo0. Miscellaneous expenses make up tho
balance. There Is, or was on January 1, n
balance of $1.1:62 on hand.
It, was tn 1S96 that the association hero
was organized and tho receipts by years
follow: 1S9, $1,433! 1897. $1,113; 1S9S,
$1,353; 1899, $1,810; 1900, $1,550; 1901, $2,692.
Tho bills payable for 1901 amount to $1,112,
whllo tho bills receivable omount to $6S1,
leaving n balance of $431. Commencing
with January 1, 1897, with a' membership
of 2C1, thero ban boon a steady Increase,
until now tho roll call shows 322 members.
As an cvtdenco of tho Interest taken In
tho work of tho association, tho total at
tendance nt tho rooms during tho last year
was 19,069, as compared with 18,427 tho
year bofore.
Secretary Marsh says that the organiza
tion is handicapped In every department
by lack of room, tho equipment being de
ficient for the needs of the members. An
effort Is now being mado to Increaso tho
membership and thus procure financial sup
port enough to cither secure moro commo
dious quarters or clso Increase tho present
equipment.
Sow Improvement Clnh Orunnliteil,
Quito a number of citizens and taxpayers
met Thursday night at tho office of Dr.
W. J. McCrann nnd perfected an organiza
tion. Dr. McCrann was chosen president,
Judge F. A. Agnow, secretary, and Henry
Michel, treasurer.
Following tho organization tho club ap
pointed a commlttco to wnlt upon tho mayoV
and council for tho purpose of 'suggesting
names of men to bo appointed on tho library
board. Auothcr purpose ot tho club Is to
securo tho location of tho building porno-
whero south of N street nnd botween
Twenty-flftn stroct on the west and Twenty-
third street on the east. Jt Is understood
that tho club will work "for a slto near
Twenty-third anfl'O Btrcets.
Tho organization of this club for tho pur-
poso named Is only causing trouble for tho
authorities In this library matter. It has
been given out that as soon as tho library
board la appointed and tho members qualify
and organize, bids for sites will bo asked
for. No bids exceeding $5,000 will bo con
sidered, as this Is tho amount of tho ap
propriation.
At any rate, tho members of tho club
nssert that thoy propose to do their ut
most to hnvo n public building of somo
sort erected south of N street.

Superintendent McLean 'of tho public

Since tho announcement has one out
that all of tho nine members of tho Hoard
ot Education havo been Indicted bv tho
grand Jury, somo of tho members of the
Taxpayers' league have been nsktng -who
will pay the bills for defending- tho mem
bers. Judge J. J. Drecn Is tho regular nt
torney for the board, but as ho receives a
salary of only $300 a year, It Is thought that
perhaps tho board will employ additional
counsel In order to assist In tho defense
Then again thero Is the question whether
each member will demand a separate trial
and employ his own attorney. On this
point the members of the board aro muto
Somo of tho league members are watching
developments closoly, as thoy fear that tho
board will appropriate school board mon in

tinue IVrsonal friendship.
The two police Judges are Maying battle-
doro and shuttlecock with Jim Dacon, the
alleged burglar. First Judge Qordou bound
him over to the district court, but there
was no ono to record tho action, to accept
his bond or to tako him to Jail, so yesterday
ho was arraigned before Judgo Hcrka,. who,
ignoring Judgo Cordon's ruling, aet his case
for hearing January 20, and accepted Louts
Goldmnlth on a new bond ot $650 to Insuro
his appearance at that time. Ho Is to have
another hearing aud tho hearing before
Judge Cordon counts tor naught.
This is tho program us mapped out at
prcsont, but It by somo trick of fate Judge
Oordon should bo In tho ascendency at or
beforo that time, It will bo subject to
amendment.
"Jim's llacon Is not necessarily cooked,"
said Attorney Tom Donohuo, tn addressing
Judgo llerka yesterday morning, "and I'm
glad we havo two chances. That's tho beauty
of havlDg two pollco Judges. If you don't
llko the ruling ot ono ot them, recognize
tho other."
"Sleepy" Hewitt, who was discharged
Thursday, and Jim Bacon wero co-defend
ants on tho same chargo and tho evidence
against, them la tho same. Slnco Howltt's
caso was dismissed it Is likely that Ducon's
will bo also.
.Mister nnd MUtrr.
Judgo Cordon, aB usual, spent tho morn
Ing out In tho hall, closely guarded by
Offlcor Davis. At 10:30 ho arose, continued
a batch of Imaginary cases until tomorrow
morning nnd dismissed a mythical court.
An hour latpr Judgo Oordon and Judgo
llerka met on the street. It was tho first
tlmo they Imd mot faco to faco since tho
clash of last Tuesday morning nnd tor nn
Instant It looked an though they wero going
to bo "strangers." Than Judgo Ucrka
smllod voluminously and held out his hand.
Judge Cordon seized It.
"There's no reason why we should bo
personal enemies, Mister Oordon."
'Nono whatever, Mister llerka. You havo
your way and I havo mine."
'I havo mine, nil right," said Judgo
nerka. Then they forced a laugh and scp
arnted.
"aordon nnd Ellcr.havo got something up
their sleeve," said a police station hnblltl'o
yesterday, "and I think I know what It
Is. They aro waiting for Judgo Dcrka to
bind someone ovor to tho district court,
then they'ro going to get him out of Jail on
a writ of habeas corpus, and when' tt comes
up for a hearing before a district Judgo
they'll test Judgo Uerka'a right to tho offlco
of pollco Judge."
Attorney Eller, to whom this report was
communicated, would not deny that he had
in mind somo such schomc.
