Minden. Neb.. Oct. 3. (Special)
Judge Harry S. Dugan of the district
court yesterday decided what is
known as the Carrico water rate case
in favor of the city of Minden,

water rent for two years or more
claiming that he would not pay until
those in offices, such as lawyers and
and dentists were compelled to pay.
His water was shut off and he was
compelled to pay to get water.
Mr. Carrico then commenced an ac
' tion in mandamus to compel the
mayor to enforce the ordinances by
collecting water rentals irom omce
people and others, contending that
they were served free water although
all water was metered. The Mayor
contended that the ordinance had re
ceived such construction for more
rhan nine years and that such admin
istrative construction was sufficient
to give the interpretation it had been
given.
The court decided in favor of the
mavor. H. P. Andersen. J. L. Mc
Pheely, M. D. King and F. L. Carrico
appeared as attorneys for relator and
(.. tf. Anderberry tor the mayor,

Years of Suffering.
"After suffering for over twenty

there was no cure for me, I think it

within two months," writes Jul. Gro

SUPREME COURT TO

Hearing . October 16 in Omaha
Will Determine Jurisdiction
of Rate Controversy.
INJUNCTION IS CONTINUED
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 3. The injunc
tion suit of the Nebraska Railway
commission against the railroads of
the state, prohibiting them from put
ting into effect a schedule, approved
by the Interstate Commerce commis
sion, was argued before the supreme
court this evening, and the case taken
under advisement. A temporary re
straining order, issued a week ago
against the roads, and which expired
this evening, was continued by the
court. The case is an offshoot of the
hearing in the federal court at Sioux
talis, t. D., last Saturday, in which
three federal judges decided they had
jurisdiction, but delayed a final ruling
until a further hearing was held in the
district federal court at Omaha the
16th of this month.
The railroads objected to the juris
diction ot the -ebraska supreme
court, and the ruling continuing the
injunction is interpreted to mean that
whatever decision is reached at Omj
ha will end the case, so far as the
state court is concerned.
Bible Study Course
' In North Platte
High is Popular
North Platte, Neb., Oct. 3. (Spe
cial.) Bible study is proving attrac
tive to many students of North Platte
High school. An even larger number
of high school students than were ex
pected by the school authorities have
registered for the course. When the
registration closed for the new course
that has been introduced in the high
school sixty-seven pupils of five de
nominations had enrolled. Eighteen
chose the Christian church in which to
study, sixteen the Presbyterian, fif
teen the Methodist Episcopal, four
teen the Lutheran and eight the Bap
tist. The ' pastors of the different
churches will conduct the classes.
Ihe Bible as a whole is to be taken
up for study during the first semester.
Its authorship, the various forms of
composition, the classification of the
books, the principal points of differ
ence between the old and new testa
ments. The work for the second sem
ester has not as yet been mapped out.
Wilson Tout, superintendent of city
schools, hopes to obtain the accredit
ing of the course in the schools of the
state, and has a letter from State Su
perintendent A. O. Thomas sueeest-
ing his co-operation in arranging for
the installation of such courses all
over the state..
