HARDWARE! Claim They "Knocked-Down." A special from Sioux City, la., un der date of August 16, says: "The Burlington Railway company has discharged five conductors, Tom Astle, Fred Crosby, Frank Logan, Ed. Young, Ed. Ledruth and R. A. Dyson, station agent here, for what Is claim ed to be the Irregular sale of tickets on the O'Neill, Lincoln and Ashland extensions of the line. "The alleged Irregular sale of the tickets came to light after six months of careful work by railroad spotters and members of the Pinkerton detec tive agency. According to the alle gations of these man, an agreement was entered into some time ago, whereby tickets were not to be punch ed on the trains but returned to the ticket office, where they would be resold. Every man, woman or child who has entered the trains has been counted for two months, and the total number of passengers each night has been tallied with the number of pun ched tickets turned in. The balance has been far from favorable to the company it is declared. One spotter is said to have been sold the same ticket to Lincoln on three different occasions. "Dyson Is said to have offered to make a complete confession to the Omaha officials of the road." Ham Struck by Lightning. The severe electrical storm which swept over the vicinity of Weeping Water last night was the worst for a long time. The barn of Peter Miller, a prominent farmer living a few miles cast of Weeping Water, was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. The details of the loss could not be learned, but It is sup posed that the barn and contents were insured. Struck a Rich Mine. S. W. Bends of Coal City, Ala., says he struck a perfect mine of health in Dr. King's New Life Pills for they cured him of Liver and Kid ney trouble after 12 years of suffer ing. They are the best pills on earth for Constipation, Malaria, Headache, Dyspepsia, Deblity. 25c. at F. G. Fricke & Co. In a Hurry- Emergency situations demonstrate the value of the Bell telephone. ( When you want to get something done in a hurry you want service that is instantaneous and reliable, and that is Bell service. Distance does not matter, either, when you have a Bell telephone, fori ts extensions are universal. .- It is the centralization of capit.il, the years of experience, and the able management back of the Bell System that causes its ser vice to be the best in the world, for behind every associated coin-, pany stands the strength of one policy, one system and universal service. By the way, have you a Bell Telephone? clothiuf? , shoes or food stuff. To such a one, LUTH ER'S FARM SPECIAL will strongly appeal. Up to the time we put out this great labor saving tool he had to be content with the old, slow-cutting grindstone or ' unsatisfactory emery grinder, but now he", can have the service of the most perfect farm tool sharpening device ever invented. There is not a tool used about the farm that is superior to our FARM SPECIAL GRINDER as a labor saver. It sharpens everything in one-twentieth the time it would take on the grindstone. The grind stone cuts so slow that you would prefer to work with a dull tool rather than endure the backache and HARD WORK of keeping tools sharp on it. IT IS EASY to sharpen tool on the Farm Special. Your ten-year-old hoy will tell you it is fun to sharpen everything on this FARM SPECIAL GRINDER. JOttN BACJErR HEATING! Kid Keller Champion. In a six round bout last evening at the Majestic between Champion Dutch Seliska and Kid Keller, for the feather weight championship of Cass county Kid Keller came out vic tor. Dutch went Into the fight a fav orite and was a game fighter from the start, and had not Kid Keller taken advantage .of an unguarded moment and landed on Dutch's pro- bosis In the first round and bronght forth a crimson flow of blood, it is thought Dutch would have been able to have defended the, championship and still been "it." After the con testants had gotten into the sparring the "Kid" had everything his own way, putting the "champ" down and out in the sixth round. Entertained at Ruffner Home.

A most delightful surprise party was given in honor of Miss Helen Haller of Kansas City, Mo., by her aunt, Mrs. Mary Evans, at the charm ing home of Mr. William Honer, two miles west of Manley, Monday even ing, August 15th. The many games which were played occasioned con siderable merriment for the young people and made the evening oue which will long be remembered by those who participated in this enjoy able social affair. Refreshments and Ice cream were served at 11:30 and it was a late hour when the guests departed for their home, having spent a very pleasant evening. Those in attendance were Misses Bertha Miller, Mabel Lorenson, Anna Rauth, Nellie Kelly, Bessie Heeney, Agne3 Tlghe, Agnes O'Brien, Eliza beth Glaubitz, Elizabeth O'Brien, Ethel Rockwell, Susie Mockenhaupt, Laura Kelley, Frances Stander, Anna Stander, Thressa Rauth, Anna Kelley, Bertha Stander, Lena Stander, Messrs Mallas Breckenrldge, Charles Mur phy, James Murphy, Paul Tighe, Charles Bouseh, Aaron Rauth, Ray Bolden, Vena Rockwell, Edward Hee ney, William Kelly, Charles Glaubitz, Fred Lorenson, Guy Bolden, Frank Glaubitz, Joseph O'Brien, Floyd Rockwell, Herman Rauth, Valentine Mockenhaupt, Leander Schaeffer, William Rau, William Honer, James Murnhv Charloi Schaeffer, Leo T(ghe Humphrey Murphy, Hugh and Walter O'Brien, James and John Heeney, Henry Peterson, J.

The Press is pleased to note that complaints have been filed against Nebraska postmasters for too much Indulgence In the political game. This Is a proper move. But what good will come of it? The postmast ers are appointed by the very men they are trying to help In politics. Complaints, If they follow the usual course, will be referred to the bene ficiary of the political work and noth ing will come of it. One of the moves of Theodore Roosevelt was to stop the dangerous and prenlclous habits of some of Un cle Sam's servants In playing the po litical game. Roosevelt was con demned at first by machine politi clansbut finally even they saw the wisdom of his orders. Postmasters are appointed to serve the entire community, at least that is a popular supposition although, like many other governmental func tions, it is getting to bo a popular myth. Nebraska City Daily Press, Rep. Departs for Hi'iincHsey. A. S. Will and son T. J., departed ror Hennessey, Okla., on the morn Ing train today where they will look auer repairs on me Duuuings on their farms, and see that their grain Is properly housed. Mr. Will says that in the vicinity of Hennessey the crops have been good this year, rains falling at needed intervals during the crop season. Wheat and other small grains were excellent, and the corn crop will be fair. Not heavy but much better than Cass county. KK''tt'd Home. T. E. Parmelo and wife, R. A. Duff and Miss Julia Atwood, who went by auto from Louisville to Denver via Kearney and North Platee, were ex pected home yesterday. On the out going trip last Friday, Mrs. Dunbar was notified by card that the party had encountered heavy rains at Kear ney. But the sandy nature of the soil Is thought not to have Impeded their progress with mud to any ex tent. The chute to the hereafter is soap ed with good Intentions.

There are some who wouldn't be modest even if there were money In it. Many a boy begins his political career by learning how to fool his mother. Marriage being a lottery, in these days, of the divorce, many share the one prize. o When a two-bit pup eats our 1 steak, the Incongruity of things is maddening. o Sometimes when the angel of is a sign peace begins to hover it there's a hen on. Lots of men who wouldu't sell their Integrity are willing to lease It for a term of years. It has come to pass that it requires more courage for a man to split rails than to rob a bank. o As a general thing, the kind of girl who cries over a novel hates to bend over a dlshpan. The trouble is, a fool has to get money before being parted from It, which wastes time. When a girl's face Is her fortune she ought never to marry a man whose cheek is his main asset. o The silver lining of our cloud in these days Is that the pirate who sells us meat has to buy ice. o About the easiest thing in this world for a man to decide is that they are unworthy who solicit his help. The closest a child comes to trans-1 lormation into an angel is wnen it asks Its pa questions while he's shav ing. -o The modern boy needs a machine to thresh his wild oats preferably one of forty-horsepower and a five-seated tonneau. An Ohio judge Is said to have ren dered a decision to the effect that it is legal for a woman to go through her husband's pockets. It is quite often fruitless. Probably there Is nothing that ter rifies a young housekeeper more than not knowing whether the cook will stay longer than the company or the company longer than the cook.

Files Reply in the State Supreme by Attorney General The Nebraska Telephone , company filed replies in supreme court yester day to list of question propounded by Attorney General Thompson after he had Instituted suit In that court to drive the Nebraska company from the state on charges of having violated the anti-trust laws of the state. The questions of the attorney general touched upon all phases of the busi ness of the company. Some of the replies are very exhaustive and oth ers very curt. The Nebraska Telephone company Is capitalized at $7,500,000. Of this the American Telephone and Tele graph company, the giant parent com pany, holds 34,305 shares. The reply states that all of these shares were paid for in cash except 3,076 Vi which were turned over for the use of the Dell patents In this state and 864 4 which were turned over in lieu of cash dividends. These stock divi dends were paid in the early '90's when the Bell company was using all its earnings for extensions. It is also stated by the officials of the Nebraska company that the American Telegraph and Telephone company has acquired about 5,000 shares of the Nebraska stock lately by trading 3 shares of A. T. and T. stock for 4 shares of Nebraska Dell Btock. The reply filed by the com pany also asserts that It employs no publicity agent and that it has ap propriated no money for publicity purposes. Regarding Us relations with the American Telegraph and Telephone company, the Nebraska Dell officials Ill None of the Bidders Complied With the Requirements of the Board. Judge Travis has settled the dls pute between the county commlsslon- ers and John S. Hall In regard to who should have the contract for building the heating plant for home at the poor farm. It will be remem bered that the contract was let to John Dauer and that Mr. Hall. through his attorney, D. O. Dwyer, served an Injunction on the county commissioners and the matter held up pending the decision of Judge Travis, to whom the case was ap pealed. The following is the decision of the district judge In the matter, just as it comes from journal entry of that court: 'Now, on this 17th day of August, A. D. 1910, this cause came on for an order by the court upon the ap plication ot plaintiff for an Injunc tion the cause having being hereto fore argued and submitted to the court on motion for temporary In junction. "The court finds from the evi dence that the board of county com missioners advertised for bids for heating plant for building on "poor farm," of Cass county, Nebraska, that due notice was given of the require ments and conditions required of bidders for Installing the said plant. That none of the bidders on snld work complied with the requirement of said board, two bidders failing to put up certified checks as required with the bid and one bidder filing his bid one day too late." As a conclusion of law the court finds that under the statuto no legal duty rests upon the county board to Invite bids for Biich work, or to award contracts thenfor to lowest and best bidders or any bidder, A court of equity Is without power to In any way control the discretion of the county commissioners In awarding the contract for said heat ing plant. Temporary injunction denied. Harvey I).

Thompson. assert that money is borrowed from the parent company just as it would be from a bank; that these loans have run as high as 1500.000 and that negotiable paper turned over to the parent company Is handled by it just as a bank would handle similar paper. The suit of the attorney general rose primarily from the purchase ot small telephone companies In this state by the Nebraska company. Ia reply to a question the respondent names the companies in which it has acquired controlling Interests during the present year, but asserts In each, case that the company purchased did not operate In competition with the) Nebraska company. Within the last eight months controlling Interests have been obtained In telephone com-, panles at the following places: Platts mouth, Nebraska City, Papllllon, Ra venna, Broken Dow, Alliance and Mo Cook, as well as in the Douglas coun ty, Butler county and Phelps county Telephone companies. The respondent asserts that the Dell company Is ready to make a phy sical connection with any other line for the extension of service and that It is ready even to exchange service with the Lincoln Independent sys tem, but that the latter has bound Itself not to exchange service for a period of twenty-five years. A copy of all contracts existing between the Nebraska company and the giant foster company Is also In cluded in the reply, the typewritten copies of contracts covering 100 pages or more. .. .. , MTNARD.
