On tress OBthi, Hit evleete film Tbelr Oath f bflee with Seeretarr f State. fFrom a Btstt Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Jan. (Bpeclal.) The ques tion has been rslsed here why the su preme court haa not appointed a commls alon of live Judges of the district court to revise the statutes aa provided for by a law enacted by the legislature of 1WL One member of the court ald he had never heard of the law until his attention was called to It this morning. It was passed In 1901 and was approved March 10 of that year. This is shown In the enrolled bill on file in the office of the secretary of Mate and It la contained In the session laws f 19TC, but so far no one around the state house haa been abla to find It In the Statutes of 1M or of IMS. It is possible that the court bad some ' ood reason for pot carrying out the law. but apparently the only reason Is that the coart did not known of Its existence. It Is said the measure Is unconstitutional, though the supreme court has not yet passed on It. , - Allea Xot a Candidate. Arthur B.

Byron Beall went the rounds of the Tenderloin this afternoon, gathering Infor mation for a sermon to be preached the evening of the J4th on "What 8unds In the Way of the Reform of the Women of the Half World?" Now that Rev. Beall has a rival In the person of Rev. Batten In the reform movement the women of the reser vation are being brought Into much prom inence. Mr. Beall was given the glad hand by the women and to the best of their ability they explained to him why they did Hot reform. The general reason for their presence on the reservation aa given by the women was that the salary In stores was too small to provide a Hvlng and that once tm the reservation always there.
