THH SLOCUMB STATUTE
Can An Informer Collect One-fourth cf the
Fine Collected for Spite Work?
TO BE DECIDED BY THE SUPREME COURT
Can an informer against a bootlej.'
ircr or saloonkeeper who violates the
.Mocumh li'iuor law collect one-fourth
of the tine recovered? asks the Lincoln
News? That question, says the News,
in which the prohibitionists of the
state are greatly interested, has been
raised in the case of J. A. Chapin vs
Seward county, in which the plaintilT
claims one-fourth of two tines paid in
to the school fund of the county by
men who were prosecuted for the ille
nal sale of liquor. The case is now
pending in the supreme court and to
day the attorneys for the claimant til
ed a brief in which they sustain his
contention, notwithstanding the ac
tion or the district court in upholding
a demurrer of the county to the peti
tion. It is urged that the successor
the claimant would give great impetus
to prosecutions for the illegal sale of
liquor.
Chapin, according to the brief filed
in the case, took the initiative and
was complaining witness in two prose
cutions, one against Frank J. Schmehr
and the other airainst Albert II.
Hrooke.
lie tiled a claim with the county for
one-fourth of the money collected and
paid into the school fund, but the
county board disallowed them and on
appeal the district court sustained the
general demurrer of the county.
The provisions of the statute under
which the suit is brought is known as
section :::, chapter of the compiled
statutes of l!o:5. It is as follows:
"All tines and penalties recovered
under the provisions of this act shall,
when collected, be paid into the proper
treasury for the use of the school fund,
and the corporate authorities by w hom
such license was issued shall pay to
the complaining w itness in such ac
tion, out of the general fund of the
county or city, an amount equal to
one-fourth of the sum actually collect
ed and paid over to the school fund as
aforesaid."
Doth of the men in Seward county
case were arrested and fined for boot
legging. Schmehr paid S1.7J fine and
Brooke $100.
It is contended by the attorneys for
Chapin that it the intention of the
statute providing for rewarding the
informer that the right to the money
is based not on the question whether
or not the offender had a license, but
on any successful prosecution for vio
lation of the Slocumb law which opens
the way for a wide range of prosecu
tions on the evidence of complaining
witnesses who have an interest in the
fines. Against the general demurrer
of the county, the attorneys for Cha
pin contend that it was not necessary
that the persons fined be licensees
caught in violating the statute in or
der to entitle him to the reward. They
insist that it was a sweeping scope and
includes bootleggers, as well as saloon
keepers who have a license.
There is no distinction in the sta
tute, allege the attorneys, between
bootleggers and licensed saloon men,
notwithstanding the fact that the sec
tion providing for the reward refers to
licenses. Taking the Slocumb law as
an entirety, it is stated that there can
be no question as to the intention of
the legislature. They quote section
11, chapter 50, of the compiled statutes

to substantiate the allegation.
That section, "after fixing the pen
alty for bootlegging, referring to the
bootlegger, says: 'and shall be liable
in all respects to the public and to in
dividuals i he same as he would have
been had h given bonds and obtained
license as herein provided.' In other
words, the legislature never intended,
and did not make any distinctiou be
tween licensees and 'bootleggers."
The intent is plain, it is urged, and
the courts are bound to place such a
construction on a statute as will best
attain the results sought by the legis
lature. The brief continues:
"What did the legislature mean by
the enactment of the section? Un
questionably the law makers intended
to aid in the suppression of violators of
the liquor act by encouraging and re
warding those who, at the expense of
their time, money and effect, should
aid in the enforcement of the law.
The legislature did not aim to encour
age solely the prosecution of licensed
offenders, but all offenders against the
liquor laws. Why the express pro
vision of the section, 'all tines and pen
alties recovered under the provisions
of this act w hen collected and paid in
to the proper treasury for the use of
the school fund, 'if this was not the in
tention?" It is not a penal statute and ought
not to be strictly construed, it is ar
gued. The phrase in the section pro
viding for the reward of informers,
'by whom such license was issued." is
intended simply to identify the cor
porate authority which is to pay the
one-fourth of the fine to the complain
ing witness and has no reference to the
phrase, ''all lines and penalties recov
ered under the provisions of this act."
In concluding the brief, attention is
called to the importance of the case
and the fact that the prohibitionists
of the state are asking for a final de
termination of the question in the
hope that they may avil themselves of
the rewards offered to encourage the
tiling of complaints by informers. The
interpretation contended for will make
the work of coping with bootleggers
much easier, and that is one of the
chief objects of the prohibitionists w ho
desire to absolutely exclude liquor
from a community where they have in
duced the people to vote no-license.

This afternoon Mrs. Harriet M.
Steele, through her attorney, J. C.
Watson, began suit in the district
court against the Missouri Pacific rail
way company for 35,000 damages for
the death of her husband, which oc
curred at Weeping Water on June G,
1905. It will be remembered that her
husband was a watchman in the em

Weeping Water for some time, and it
was while watching one train going

A Little Mixed.
A young man not a thousand miles
from Plattsmouth, went with his
sister to a dry goods store in this city
last week to purchase a pair of gloves
for his sweetheart. The sister bought
a pair of hose for herself. In wrap
ping the goods the clerk got them
mixed. Now comes the joke, and the
explosion also came when the sweet
heart opened the package sent to her
and found a pair of long black stock
ings. She of course blushed. Then
she opened the note and read the
following tender lines: "I am sending
you a little present. Oh, how I wish
that no other hands but mine would
ever be permitted to touch them after
you put them on. But, alas, a score
of fellows may touch them when I am
not by your side, and other eyes may
see them when you are on the street
or at parties. I bought the longest
pair I could get. and if they are too
long you may let them wrinkle down.
A great many girls I know wear them
slipped down a little. Always wear
them at parties; I want to see how
they fit when I call Tuesday night.
You can clean them easily, dear, with
benzine, if you leave them on till they
dry. I hope they are not too small.
Blow in them before you put them on."

GRAND STAND COLLAPSED
Filled With People. But With the Exception
of a Few Scratches, No One Injured.
A BIG CROWD AT LOUISVILLE
The Ball Game Between Louisville and the
Plattsmouth Elks.
LOUISVILLE WINS BY A SCORE OF 12 TO 4
tuite a large crowd went from here
to Louisville Thursday to take in the
street fair and witness the ball game
between the Elks of this city and the
Louisville team.
When the game was called it seems
that the grand stand was tilled with
people, and during the progress of the
same, all of a sudden, and without even
the cracking of aboard to warn the
occupants, it was lowered to the
ground and the people fell all in a
heap. It was indeed very fortunate
that no one was seriously injured.
Sheriff McBride and Deputy County
Treasurer Frank Schlater were both
oceppants of the grand stand and both
escaped without a scratch on their
gerson, but the sheriff's vest was badly
wrecked. With the exception of a few
scratches all escaped without serious
injury.
The ball game resulted in a victory
for the Louisville boys by a score of 12
to 4. The Elks remained over to con
test in another game today, and the
Journal hopes they will have better
luck. Sheriff McBride and Frank
Schlater returned home last evening
and report a large attendance at the
carnival, and a very orderly crowd
present.
Qaite a Scare.
During the storm of Thursday eve
ning of last week the family of Peter
Kell, a well-known farmer living near
Cedar Creek, had an experience which
they will not soon forget. While
attempting to reach the cyclone cave
the wind literally lifted them from
the ground, and it was only by crawl
ing on their hands and knees that they
were able to get into the cave at all.

Women HusK Corn for Church.
The women of the Baptist church
are certainly self-sacrificing, and are
not above doing hard work to earn
money for their church.
One day this week the women of the
congregation needed some money to
complete a church fund. They wanted
to raise the money quickly, and so
they went down to the canning fac
tory in a body, and from the hour of 8
to 11 o'clock in the evening they were
as busy as a whole hive of bees, husk
ing corn.
As a result of their combined efforts
they husked $t3 worth of sweet corn.
The money was turned over to the
church fund. Auburn Herald.
The Right Talk-
A raw boy without a dollar present
or prospective, sparking a girl regular
ly and talking about marriage is a
spectacle for gods and men. He
should be reasoned with and if he will
not quit it until he is able to support
a wife and to know why he loves, and
the difference between love and
chicken pox, he should be quarantined
or put in a convent erected for such
cases. Nine-tenths of the unhappy
marriages are the result of green hu
man calves being allowed to run loose
in the society pasture without yokes
on them. They marry and have
children before they have mustaches.
They are proprietors of two pairs of
pants, and the little girls they marry
are old women before they are twanty.

five years I was troubled with kidney
and bladder affections which caused
me much pain and worry. I lost flesh
and was all run down, and a year ago
had to abandon work entirely. I had
three of the best physicians who did
me no good and I was practically given

recommended and the first bottle gave
me great relief, and arter taking the
