DOC NOW. in the The U n 7J DOC BUT A AW Ml REPUBLICANS VERY MUCHLY WORRIED Grave Doubts of the Legality of the Speciat: Election July 18. A special from Lincoln to t !) );nuiia : World-IIeraM say: j Grave doubts of the legality ir t!i special election called for July 1 have , been expressed by attorneys, ami the Lincoln republicans are worried ab ut the matter. The obliteration of the biennial law has brought about a discussion t he case. A meeting or the republican congressional committee will doubt less be called within a short time to discussthe matter. It is claimed that Governor Mickey exceeded his author ity in issuing the proclamation. Several attorneys have expressed divergent views, and it has been stated that two conventions miht have to be called to renominate candidates. Kichard L. Metcalfe, chairman of the democratic congressional com mittee, said: "I notice that the Lincoln Star says that Attorney General IJrown and Governor Mickey carefully considered all aspects of the case before the proc lamation was issued, and they dec'are that it is free from technical Haws. "I take it for granted that Attor ney General lirown would not plunge the people into an expenditure of fl-V ooo without being sure of his ground. Mayor Hrown's friends are ready for the contest on J uly If an error has been made in issuing the procla mation for a special election it is not our error. If our friends have become alarmed and prefer that the tight take place later, the power is in their hands. At all events, we will meet them and do our best, whether it be Julv is or in November." funeral of S. P. Metz. William Ossenkop and G. S Metz of Waucomis, Oklahoma, were in the city today for the purpose of having an ad ministrator appointed for the estate of his brother, S. 1. Metz, who died very suddenly Wednesday morning. The funeral occurred yesterday, and was quite largely attended, and Mr. Metz was called here on account of his brother's death. He has li"ed in Oklahoma for about four years, and is well pleased with the country. Mr. Metz says the wheat has all been har vested and that corn looks tine. The deceased Mr. Met, was a partner of Mr. Ossenkop, and that gentleman has closed the business until an ad ministrator is appointed, and Mr Metz will not return home until mat ters are adjusted satisfactorily. A Regular "Frost." Speaking of the "opening meeting" of the congressional compaign last Sat urday the Auburn Herald says: "The openintr gun of the congressional com- paitrn was tired in this city Saturday by a couple of 22 calibre orators. It was only a corporal's guard that as sembled in the courthouse yard to hear Senator Uurkett and E. M. Pol lard discuss the issues, Saturday af ternoon. There was no enthusiasm while Burkett or Pollard spoke. Half the crowd left while the latter was holding forth. If the postmasters of the county had remained at home the audience would have been very slim indeed." Will Cure Consumption. A. A. Herren, Finch, Ark., writes: "Foley's Honey & Tar is the best preparation for coughs, colds, and lung trouble. I know that it has cur ed consumption in the first stages."

Chief Justice Holcomb Hands Down the Opinion of the Judges. CONFLICTS WITH FUNDAMENTAL LAW This is Another Great Mistake the Repub licans Will Have to Answer For. WHAT ARE TO BE ELECTED THIS FALL. The biennial election law has been declared void. Chief Justice Holcomb is the author of the opinion and it was unanimously approved by the other judges. The law, which seeks to do away with the odd year elections, was declared unconstitutional because the judges thought it sought toextend the tenure of otlice of officials whose terms were fixed by the organic law. The decision makes it neccessary to hold election this fall for supreme judge, regents and county officials. Chief Justice Holcomb, in discussing the argument that the legislature has a right to interpret the constitution when it bears on subjectsof a political nature and that the rule contended for seems reasonable, but that it can not be given the weight urged because the provisions of the constitution will not bear a construction permittiing the legislature to change the time of hold ing of elections for judicial office and extending their terms one year. The court says: The conflict is so palpable that the legislature enactment must give way. The action of the legislative branch of the government is entitled to and should receive from the judicial de partment the greatest of respect and deference. This has been freely ac corded and ever kept in mind in the consideration and discussion of the case at bar. The court should and does approach a conclusion, resulting in a holding that the law is unconsti tutional, with great caution and hesi tancy. The wisdom, policy and ex pediency of the law have not been al lowed, that we are conscious of, to in the slightest degree influences our de cision. We have endeavored to keep within the legitimate sphere of action belonging to the judiciary. And inso far as human falibility permits us to reach a conclusion from a strictly legal and judicial standpoint, the final and ultimnate construction of the con stitution is by that instrument in trusted to the court. We have en deavored to discharge the trust thus reposed in the tribunal over which we for a time give expression to its utter ances and decrees, according to the meaning expressed or arising by impli cation. In to doing we are unable to escape the conclusionthat the legisla tive enectment in controversy conflicts with several of che provisions of the fundamental law, and that the former must give way and beclared without legal force imperative and void. In regard to the provisions of the schedule, which the attorney contend ed were merely temporary and direc tory, Judge Holcomb say.? that they are in many instances as lasting as other portions of the constitution and were so inted. Much reliance had been placed on a Kansas decision upholding a similar statute, but Judge Holcomb points out that there is a marked dif ference between the constitution of the two states in that the Nebraska document designates specifically the time when terms of otlice shall begin and end. ith reference to the contention that the legislature had the power to postpone for a year the choice of the successor to the present incumbents Judge Holcomb says that it would leave the control of the offices exclus ively in the legislature. He adds; The provision of the constitution providing that an officer shall hold over until his successor is elected can not be understood to confer on the legislature the power to unnecessarily postpone the election of a successor to the office and thereby create a condi tion authorizing the incumbent to hold over after the expiration of his term. The mischiefs which would result from this construction of the constitution and the recognition of his authority in the legislature are too evident to require discussion. By the adoption of measures of this character the legis lative department would appropriate to itself an extensive and dangerous power and influence over a great num ber of offices and officers. The "knocking out" of the law necessitates the election of the follow ing county officials in November: One judge of the supreme court, two re gents of the state university, sheriff, treasurer, county clerk, county judge, surveyor, coroner and county superin tendent of schools, who would other wise have held over to next year under the law passed by the last legislature. Right You Are. Plattsmouth stands a chance of get ting the state national guard encamp ment to be held next August. The state military board i anxious to se cure a location for the encampment where a satisfactory rifle range can be secured and as bluffs and hills are an almost necessary adjunct to a rifle range, the military experts are inves tigating the country around Platts mouth, where there are more hills than anything else. However, the encampment could hardly be better located than near Plattsmouth. Ne braska City Tribune. i INTERESTING LETTER PROM MILWAUKEE Mrs. J. N. Wise Enjoying Herself Among Friends of Girlhood Days. (In t .lournitl i Mii.w ai kkk. Wis , June 21, l'".", Yesterday at 11 a. m . I said V"od luoiiiinn" to this beautiful city. The streets vere washed clean and sinn ing Ilau's an 1 banners, streamers and penants, arches and devices of all kinds bearing the word Welcome," were on every side. Of course, I ap propriated Lhis hospitable greeting at once, but when 1 saw the big parades and heard the numberless bands, 1 concluded I would be obliged to divide the honors with the Woodmen, for the city is .simply swarming with them. However, if I could not appropriate the city's welcome, 1 could that of my friends. Some of them thav have called on me I have riot seen before for forty years. We have grown old, we have grown gray headed, some of us have had cares and sorrows heavy to bear, but in thisre-union our hearts will be gladdened and we will be girls and boys together, and quite as giddy and frivolous as we were in the old days. Our re-union, or the final ceremonies, will take place the twenty-ninth. Letters are coming in from all parts of the country of acceptance. lam, in intervals of talking and receiving calls, busily employed directing invi tations, making badges and assisting generally my friend, Dr. Evelyn Hoehne, who is secretary and prime mover in the re-union. Of course, all outside interest is cen tered in the Woodmen's camp: it is not altogether a session devoted to pleasure, as the prominence of amuse ments on the daily program would in dicate. The business sessions give promise of sensations that threaten the old line insurance companies. It seems as if the home territory of the old line companies is to be invaded by the fraternal societies under the lead ership of the Modern Woodman, but the coming contest is not one of su premacy in insurance competieion; it includes a thorough investigation into the financial and business methods of every old line company of prominence in the country. A resolution, calling tor a great fraternal conference in New York, has been introduced by A. O. Cro.ier, of Wilmington, Delaware, and it is expected it will receive fav orable consideration of both the com mittee on resolutions and the head camp. It is considered in the light of a strategic movement to carry the fight to New York, if the Woodmen with a membership of 700,000 receive the co-operation of other fraternal so cieties with a membership of many millions and act unitedly it is a pre cursor of one of the most sensational disclosures ever made in the world Delegate Crozier thinks this will be a movement of national importance and will result in insurance being placed on an economical basis never before known. The Woodmen are asked to bear the burden of organization, be cause they represent the strongest in surance association, numerically, in the world. There is such a wealth of amuse ments offered by the city for the en tertainment of visitors that it will be difficult to decide which to choose. I think the automobile and floral parade Friday morning and the carnival pa rade in the afternoon will be well worth seeing. If we have any Ne braska people here besides myself I have noe yet seen them. Will send you a program of the Eighth Ward School re-union later. Let me apologize for this fragment ary letter. I have been repeatedly in terrupted by telephone and other calls and finally in despair of copying it or otherwise making in presentable, I send it hoping you may be able to make some use of it.
