FUNDS FOR PU3LIC SCHOOLS OF STATE Supreme Court Hales Auditor Hult Issue Warrants Against Mill Levy tor University, Though Money Una Not Been Collected. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, May 24.-(Spoclal.)-The State Hallway commission has been asked by the interstate Commerce commission for an opinion on tie best way to fairly appor tion the earnings and operating expenses of railroads handling Interstate traffic be tween the various states. In the past arbitrary apportionments have been mado, which according to the railroads and to the Interstate commission has not always been fair and Just to the railroads or to the States and at this time an effort Is being ado to map out a plan whereby justice may be donn all the states as well as the roads. . At a recent meeting of railroad representatives, members of the Interstate commission and several railroad commis sioners of states. It was decided to ask the commission In each state to express Its Vlows on the matter. In making up a plan the states are cautioned to consider "con structive mileage," which the letter ex plained Is where one state is allowed more mileage than It actually has because of the Increased cost of operation or other reasons. While the state commission has not yet had an opportunity to consider the matter. It Is sure to protest against any mileage being taken from Nebraska and credited to another state because of any increased cost of operation in another state. The commission figures that as It costs less to operate a road In Nebraska, owing to the absence of grades and hills, more ton nage can be hauled In this state, so con structive mileage will cut little figure In the suggestion It makes to the national commission. Connilulos and Itoads Draw. The recent order of the State Railway commission for local agents of railroads to report direct to the commission the num ber of cars on hand and the amount of freight shipped in and out, against which the railroads protested so vigorously, has resulted In a kind of dog fall. Today the commission Is getting ready to Issue another order for the local' agents to report to the general headquarters of the roads and the general auditor and general superintendent are to sign and forward the original re ports to the commission. This Is to be a dally report, while' the division superln tendents are to report weekly. U. O. Powell, rata clerk, has been look ing' Into express rates charged In other States and he has reported to the commis sion that In Missouri and Texas the rates are O to S3 per cent lower than In Ne braska. In the two states named there Is also a Joint rate In effect which allows the Shipment of express over the routes of two companies st the rate of one. In this state there Is no Joint rate In force, but separate rates have to be paid when the UWment covers two lines or more. Stat Contract Let. CL C. Allen, representing the Atlas En. gine works and the AJlla-Chalmers com pany, secured the contract for installing a dynamo, boiler and engine at the state penitentiary this morning, the price to be 7,46J.

Stratton of Cherry county, sen tenced for the keeping of gambling devices, gets no relief from the supreme, court. Ills argument was that sections 214 and 215 of the criminal code as they now stand are Invalid for the reason they were not passed In accordance with the constitutional re quirements. The court holds an enrolled bill, If In all respects In proper form. Is prima facie evidence of Its rroper passage, but If the executive Journals unequivocally contradict the evidence furnished by the ctirolled bill the evidence furnished by the Journal wtll control, but where tho legis lative Journals are silent, as In this case, this mill not be taken as evidence that the constitutional requirements were not ob served. Judgment of the district court Is affirmed. I'nlverslty Warrants Issue. . The supreme court has ordered a writ of mandamus to require State Auditor Searle to Issue warrants on the state treasury on the funds derived from the 1 mill tax levy for the benefit of the State university. The auditor refused to Issue the warrants, al leging that the appropriation bill appropri ates tho proceeds derived from the levy and that there were no funds on hand In the treasury for this fund as a result of col lections. The court says that when tho auditor of public accounts has audited and allowed a claim payable out of the 1 mill levy fund, and there Is an unexpended bal ance therein of a sufficient amount It is his duty to draw warrants therefor In favor of the claimant, although there may be no money actually In the treasury belonging to said fund.

I do not hesi tate to say that In my Judgement, a lunge percentage of disease Is caused by poorly selected and Improperly prepared food. My personal experience with the fully cooked food, known as Grape-Nuts, en ables me to speak freely of Its merits. "From overwork, I suffered several years with malnutrlton, palpitation of tha heart, and loss of sleep. Last summer I was led to experiment personally with the new food, whlcbI used in conjunction with good rich cow's milk. Iu a short time after I commenced Its use, the dlHa greeable symptoms disappeared, my heart's action became steady and normal, the functions' of the stomach were prop erly carried out and I again slept as soundly and as well as In my youth. "I look upon Gripe-Nuts as a perfect food, and no one can gainsay but that It has a most prominent place In a rational, scientific system of feeding. Any one who uses this food will soon bs convinced of the soundness of the principle upon which it Is manufactured and may thereby know the facts as to Its true worth."

KIMBALL, Neb., May 24. (Special.) Homesteaders In this county are preparing to enforce the herd law against range cattle. The country has filled up with settlers until nearly every piece of gov ernment land is taken up, the larger por tion of it by actual settlers. They are breaking prairie and putting in crops and they don't propose to have them destroyed by cattle. No fences have been removod In this section In acordance with the order which went Into effect April 1. In fact, no attention was paid to this order here. So far there has been no trouble between ranchers and farmers and no serious trouble Is expected, only that the farmers propose to see that cattle do not destroy, their crops. The homesteaders are organizing quietly to enforce tho herd law rigidly. Case A srn Inst Williams Nnlled. AUBCRN, Neb., May 24. (Special.) Charles Williams will not be tried on the charge of murdering his father, Isaac Williams. The case pending in the dis trict court agnlnst the -young man has been nolle prossed, this action having been taken by the court officials the first of the week. Isaac Williams was killed Sep tember 11 last. Clarence Williams ' was tried last winter. Ho testified that he fired the fatal shot. lie was cleared. The young men killed their father during a quarrel, one firing a revolver, the other a shotgun. The shots from the gun were pronounced to be the ones that produced the death of Isaac Williams, and the gun was In the hands of Clarence Williams, the elder brother. The case against (Jlarence, which resulted In his acquittal, was a very costly one to the county. It was doubtful If Charles could have been convicted under the circumstances and the dismisnul of the case against him may save the county a big expense. Bryan and Williams at Pern.
