Lincoln, April 2C What constitutes
a dependont relative as regards the
Issuance of a railroad pass has been
settled by the Stato Hallway commis
sion In a complaint filed a short time
ago by J. O. Mahaffoy of Omaha against
the Union Pacific railroad.
It appears from the evidence that
John T. Stuart, an englnecor of that
road, was given a pass for himself and
two daughters, one of them named
Irene. Some time last year the daugh
ter eloped v.lth the complainant Ma
hatfey, who was n train newsboy, and
they went to Denver, later returning
to jOmnha. About n month later the
coifolo separated and the wife Went
homo to hor parents in North Platte,
and was assured If she would throw
over Mnhaffey for keeps she would he
takon back Into the family and taken
care of. Sho promised, to do so and
asked her fathor to go with her to Om
aha to get hor trunk. They used the
pass for the daughter's transportation
and Mahaffoy complained thai It was a
violation of tho antl-iinss law.
The commission holds that as tho
daughter, Irene, had been takon back
Into the family and was supported en
tirely by her father, that he had a
right to use the pass In transportation

Conductor W. I. Smith of the Bur

experiences In a run from Red Oak to
Hamburg last Friday which Btlll has
an air of mystery which ho has a long
ing to clear up. Tho mnln points aro
clear but Conductor Smith is puzzled
nnd anxious to learn how one passen
ger on Fridny's run managed o
keep a ticket twenty-five yearn,
On this run a passenger presented
a ticket bought, or at least dated, Oc
tober 14, 1890, at Lynn, 111., nnd good
for a trip from Lynn to Essex,
Ia.'The terms of the ticket were such
thnt Its apparent value for traveling nt
this Into day were Just as good as the
day of Issue. Conductor Smith demur
red at accepting tho ticket, but when
tho passongor declared the conductor
could put him eff the train if he desired
adding thnt It would be at 'lie conduc
tor's risk, Conductor Smith decided not
to tnke tho risk and the passenger com
pleted his long deferred Journey.
There was no layover clause on the
ticket, neither did it call for one
continuous trip. It is the belief that
tho ticket was used as Jar as Red
Oak over the main lines oHho railroad
and that tho balance of tho Journey
twenty-tlvc years and six months ago
was completed by wagon or stage.

Coori Heads for Nebraska.
Stato Engineer Johnson very suc
cinctly and pointedly states tho case
for good roads In Nebraska when Ik1
says wo aro now spending a little
more than $3,000,000 a year on roads
in this state and are getting no bene
fit from it. Tho blame for this attaches
not to any one in particular, but to
all, becauso of the lack of system un
der which the money Is spent. Mr.
Johnson also shows the actual cash
benefit that comes from good roads
quite as forcefully. On the 'road, ns It
Is generally found In Nebraska, It
costs tho farmor 25 cents rier ton mile
to transport his .freight;- on a properly
prepared and surfaced, , road, this
charge can bo reduced to10' cents
ton mile. A possible saving of 1C cents
per ton mile on the millions of tons
annually moved by farmers of Nebras
ka in itself should bo sufficient in
ducement to enlist all In the move
ment for better highways for the
stnto. Omaha Bee.
