James Jonesrr., sent to tha penitentiary for fire years from Chaae county f"r the killing of Joseph B. Rowley, secured a re versal at tha hands of tha supreme court. Tha court held that testimony Irrelevant, but prejudicial to tha defendant, was per mitted to be lntrodud. Jones alleges elf defense. Ores pat Ism Tax mm Physicians. It Is lawful for a tum in Nebraska to levy an occupation tax upon tJ.a practice of medicine. The village of Dodge, in Dodge county, levied such a tax upon wai ter A. Guldlnger. and tha suprema court today upheld that action. The question at laaua was simply tha right of the village to levy an occupation tux upon tha prac tice of medicine, and In his nylabus Judge Root, who wrote the opinion, said: "Village trustees may. for the purpose of raising revenue, lawfully enact an ordi nance levying a tax upon the occupation of practicing medicine within the village limits." The defendant contended that the prac tice of medicine waa a profession and neither a business or an occupation and that the statutes are silent on the ques llon of a. profession and therefore the tax Is void. In the opinion of the court a physician practicing . medicine as a busi ness la engened lit an occupation within the meaning of the statutes. i Reverse MetJrew Case. The supreme court has reserved the de cree of the Lancaster county district court, which refused to grant a divorce to Theo McGrew from Ray V. McGrew.

Powell has testified to facts, which the legal department oa state believes will .end to put an mid to the present method of apportionment of expenses and reve nues between atate and lnter-state busi ness by the railroads. In the case of the Rock Island. Mr. Powell said, that-If the Aldrich bill was not a law the net earnings of the road In Nebraska for the last year would have been rr.oOO. based on the examination of f.jur montha business. According to the railroad the revenue amounted to $M8.00. Add to that IT.i". which would have been earned without the operation of the Aid rich law would make the total earnincs flli'vitW. Under the method of appottion ment by the railroad of revenues, the atate waa credited with $1,811. insuad of the 17.50. This would make some cred ited to the tnter-staie business, when as a matter of fact the Aldrich law had nothing to do with inter-state bueineas. mirkHrk fiiMt Ceae.
