Th board was restrained by ths rjhona company Irons proceeding to 4aYC3tl5ato .ta reasonableness of the ; rates of charge mads by the telephone and axpreat companies, on the ground . that ths law creating ths board was void. Thus was squarely raised ths . Question no. only of the validity of ths law creating that boardT but of all ths laws creating boards. Ths case was v carefully briefed and elaborately ar gued; after months of consideration the court sustained ths contention of ths state. From this Judgment ths 'oempantes took' ths case to ths ' au xrsms court. . -Ths contest In ths supreme court re suited in a victory for ths stats in the telephone case, but a rehearing was ! 'granted. . Ths stats was victorious on ths new hearing. - - ' Subsequently the express case was argued and submitted, and resulted in sv complete triumph for the - claim of ths state. Thus has been squarely set tied a question which has been in doubt for many years, and the validity of all stats -boards established beyond controversy. It was not done, how ver, without much work on the part " of ths attorney general. -. . Blano et al. vs. The State. Oil In spector Hilton went out of office a de faulter in the sum of about $6,000. 'Action was brought against him and his bondsmen, by Attorney General tanurchllL After a' week of trial the jury disagreed. When the present at torney general took charge of the case be succeeded in preventing it from coin- to the jury,' and secured a Judg ment in favor of the state for the en tire amount sued for. Ctata of .Nebraska vs. Omaha Na , tlonal Bank. Ex-Treasurer Bartley embesxled $201,834.05. in the Omaha National bank, on the 2d of January, vlS97. On the theory; that the bank , aided him In this conversion, the attor iaey general brought action against' it ; tor the amount of money stated above. This la another one of the very difficult ;nd stoutly contested cases with which the attorney general has had to deal during his stormy career. - First a motion was made to remove ' the ease to the federal court. This was contested by the state, but Judge Baker austalned It and sent the case to the federal court. In this latter court the "fight was renewed before Judge Hun ger, exhaustive briefs were filed on both, sides, hut Judge Munger sustained the motion to remand . The fight, how ever, ran through about three months. Four of Omaha's attorneys were em Sklcyed against him, and he wsa beaten In the district court of Douglas county. But he took the case to the Bupreme court where he argued it in September, last. His brief covered an investiga tion of the questions involved, not only In the light of the decisions of this country, but also of England for 300 Tears. It was a difficult task, and re quired much application. The result, however, justified the labor involved. For the court reversed the judgment of the lower court, and upon grounds which practically Insures a victory for the state at the next trial. ' The State vs. Home Insurance Com pany. Eugene Moore was as heretofore atated, at the completion of his term of office, an embezzler in the sum of about $24,000. But thesupreme court held that his bondsmen were not liable for that amount, on the ground .that the money embezzled did, not belong to the state, but to the Insurance com panies. And further, that Moore, as auditor, had no authority to receive any money for the state. This being so, the attorney general reasoned that if the money embezzled by , Moore be longed to the insurance companies, then the insurance companies had never paid the state the, fees which they owed to it. Hence, he brought the action to recover the fees. He was beaten in the district court, but won In 4. 1 " supreme couri a xew aays ago. The Insurance companies have accented the judgment as final, and are npw paying the amounts which they owe to the state. Thus, the entire shortage of Eugene Moore, amounting to nearly sst,uvw, wiu be made good. Home ror the Friendless vs. The State. Few cases, with which the at- torney general had to deal caused more labor and annovance to him than this. !But he finally won and the property oi me state was restored to it. ; State vs. First National Bank of Or leans. Judgment was recovered in this case by. the state in the federal court for the sum of $15,825, on a depository bond. Thomas P. Kennard vs. The State: Mr. Kennard brought action against tne state in the district court of Lan caster county to recover some $20,000 on an oia claim, , The court gave judg ement in his favor and against the state. The attorney general took the case to the supreme court of the state, briefed It with a great deal of care, because it presented some very Intricate Ques tions; and finally won it, thus saving to, the state the sum of money staiea aoove. . Mr. Kennard has laid the . foundation for takine United ates, but the attorney general has no zear or the ultimate result. The State vs. The Standard Oil Co A HUNGRY She Tamale Man: 1 hope they s,r This case was brought in the supreme court for the purpose of excluding the Standard Oil company' front doing bus InMS In the state on the ground that U U trust. ' The Oil Company objected to the ju risdiction of the court. Senator Thurs ton came from Washington to Lincoln, to aid Mr. Eddy, the general western attorney of the company, la': arguing the company's objections. , The decision of the court was in favor of the state, and now Mr. J. M. Woolworth is added to the number of attorneys against the Attorney General in the action. The State vs. American School Fur niture Co. Thiols another anti-trust case. It presents, however, a different phase of the trust problem. Smyth et al. vs. Ames et al. This is the maximum freight rate case. When Mr. Smyth came into office all the testi mony had been taken in- this case, a decision of the United States circuit court adverse to the state rendered, an appeal taken to the supreme court of the United States and the case there argued and submitted to the court. About a year before his term of office commenced, the case was restored to the docket and a reargument ordered. As soon as he took possession of his office or within a few. days thereafter, he filed a motion in the supreme court of the Unitea States to have the case set down for an early hearing. This motion was sustained, and the hearing set for the following April. The record of over 1,000 pages of testimony had to be examined, and the whole question of the law bearing upon the case studied. This was done and a brief prepared. But no attempt was made by the attorney general to control the direction of the case. This he left in the hands of Mr. Webster, the special counsel of the state, who had been paid a fee of $10,000 for looking after the in terests of the state in connection with the -case. The case was argued and submitted, and in about a year there after decided against the state. This was rendered almost inevitable by rea son of a failure of the state to make out a case in the testimony offered. The gentlemen who furnished the tes timony for the state rendered better service to the railroad companies than they did to their nominal employer, the state. After the decision was rendered and the special counsel had severed his con nection with the case, Mr. Smyth felt that he then was responsible for any steps which should be taken with re spect to it. Consequently he examined the decree which had been rendered by Judge Dundy and found to his amazement that it, In effect, took away from the state not only the right to enforce the maximum rate law, but also the right to ever effect a substan tial 1 reduction in the rates which the railroad companies might see fit to charge. He at once prepared a motion for rehearingand a brief in support thereof; went to Washington and sub mitted the motion to the supreme court. Its allowance was, of course, vigorously resisted. The court, how ever, sustained the motion of the at torney general in every respect. And thus was restored to the state of Ne braska the right to regulate freight rates. This victory was and is worth to the people of this state just what the right to regulate railroads is worth. The attorneys of the different roads had counted confidently upon the objectionable feature of the decree passing unnoticed until too late to have H eliminated. But in this they reckoned without their host. The great value of the modification secured by the Attorney General was shown in the recent application of the Burlington road, to Judge Munger for and injunction against the State Board of Transportation. That modification did much to win the contest for the state, and the railroads were, for the first time, in a struggle with the state, made to bite the dust of defeat. The Attorney General has recently commenced a number of suits against the railroads of the state to compel them to obey the laws governing rates. This opens up a big fight, but he anticipates that hard work and loyalty to his client, the state, will bring him victory. The foregoing of course, does not in clude anything but the most important cases, both civil an criminal. More than 200 additional cases, chiefly crim lnal, were tried and disposed of. It is far more labor than ' has been per formed by any attorney in the state If tho business in the attorney gen- erars department is to continue as heavy in the future as in the past three yearsthe next legislature should provide for the appointment of an ad ditional assistant.

Every one in Nebraska fully realizes the danger of loss of crops by hail storm. . A farmer's growing crop is as important and .valuable to him as are his buildings. To protect him from the loss of ni9 buildings he carries insur ance against fire All business men in the cities do the same. They also carry insurance to protect their stock of merchandise which is sufiunent to prove the wisdom of the principle of in surance, it is equally important tor tne farmer to protect his "stock of mer chandlso'"-13 growing crops incase of loss by hail. The danger to the mer chants "stock" is 1 fire,' and he insures against loss by fire, r The danger to the farmers stock of merchandise" is hall anc t 3 equallv important that he should insure .against loss by hail.' ,'. The most substantial and ' intelligent farmers realizing the importance of hail insurance organized the United Mutual Hail Insurance Association. Nothing has more clearly shown the business ability and high intelligence of Nebraska farmers than the success of this com pany. It has been conducted in an eco nomical and business way, and has paid its losses with greater promptness than any other Hail Insurance Company in the United States. Its field is limited to 64 counties in the eastern part of the state. Farmers interested in hail insur ance will find the United Mutual- safe, conservative, satisfactory. Agents wanted.

A Fuzzie Wuzzie Meeting Editor Independent: The report in the "True Populist" printed at Omaha of a mass meeting at North Platte of the straight populists is untrue. It was without doubt reported by repub licans. The intention of that paper is to lead populists over the state to be lieve that this county particularly is following the lead of D. Clem Deaver. There was a man here Sat urday last, March 31st. He was ad vertised by our local republican papers. I believe his name was Osborne. He spoke on the corner of one . of our streets in an open buggy, Lucien Steb bins holding the horse. I do not think that there were fifty people at any one time giving attention to his speech. I am safe in saying that half of the fifty were men of republican political belief. There were no arrangements made by any kind of populists for a meeting unless it was Mr. Stebbine. I doubt if there were ten populists in this county who knew he was com- ng or heard his speech. The article n the paper was written for the pur pose of deceiving the people of this state. No set of men can hope to suc ceed, however just their cause, by re sorting to such deception. ARTHUR BUCHANAN. North Platte, Neb. (There are 253 of these fuzzie wuzzies in the state and six more that are on the doubtful list. Of these last six all will be for fusion if they get nominations otherwise they will go to the fuzzie wuzzies and that. will make 259. That is their voting strength in the state of Nebraska.)

The best answer to the argument of Speaker Henderson, of the House of Representatives, that the republican policy of placing a tariff on Puerto Rican products is a direct slap at the trusts is contained in a circular issued by the agents of the Standard Oil Trust here to-day. This circular announces an lmmedi ate advance of 3 cents per gallon in the pr.ee of refined oil. The Standard Oil Company got the president to remove the tariff on crude oil entering Puerto Rico, but to retain the tariff on refined oil. The Standard Oil Trust has a refinery here, and, hav ing arranged matters to its own satis faction with the McKinley administra tion, it had immediately proceeded to put up the price of its product. James Creelman. IT WAS POWDERLY Powderly one day gave out the decis ion and the next day the senate passed the Porto Rican bill. Now they say that it was Powderly who did the whole busi ness.

The court of appeals of Kentucky has decided that John Cripps Wickliffe Beckham is legally the governor of this state. Two republican judges joined with the four democratic judges in making this de cision, leaving Judge George Duvelle (republican) as a solitary minority of one. Republicans say tney win appeal to the United States supreme court. Soon after the decision was an nounced, Governor Taylor, who only reached here yesterday, drove out of town in a buggy. It is believed he is making for the mountains, where he would be safer from arrest. It would not, indeed, be surprising if he had decided that he was unsafe here, for by the confession that was made to-day by H. E. Youtsey, who has turned state's evidence, he is impli cated with the republican secretary of state, Caleb, Powers, and a former sec retary of state, Charles Finley, in the hatching of the plot that ended in the murder of William Goebel. This confession ' of Youtsey desig nates the man who actually fired the rifle that killed the late democratic governor, it declares tnat tne assassin was Jin .Howard,' ofj( Clay county feud fame, who slew George Baker. Youtsey's story fits in the links in the chain, of the murderous conspiracy, as already forged by the confession of Golden and Culton. It is believed that it was first planned to have a riot excited in the legislature, and one of the men was, on the Friday before the shooting act ually occurred, to arise and say: "We have come for justice, and justice we will have." The words were to be the signal for a general shooting, and it was planned that enough democrats would be slain to give the republicans a working ma jority in the legislature. This plan fell through because the legislator selected did. not make his speech. ; It is asserted- that . the murderer, Howard, received a money payment just before he fired the shot that killed Goebel, and that immediately after tho shooting he ran into the room of, at that time, Governor W. S. Tay lor. The declaration is likewise made that Taylor promised to pardon the man who accomplished the death of Goebel, or perhaps, rather, left it to be understood by all that he would do so. The evidence against Caleb -Powers and Charles Finley. is damaging in the extreme. ; Ho DISEASE' hao so bafflad tho medical ctdll of all aaoo ao RHEUMATISM. and no remedy has ovor boon known : ' to ouro it until "B Drop,9' tradb mark years or active practice or jMLeaicine ; 1 have never before in mv Years of practice of medicine eiven my testimonial or recom tnendatioa to anv tatent medicine, but there $9 own observation ; for there is no Disease which has so baffled the medical skill of all ages aa JKnenmatism and to find a Reliable remedy o DROPS," manufactured by the Swanson .

Ada St. Clair, the actress played lead ing lady parts from 1890 to 1896, when she became so stout that she had to leave the stage. She tried many medical remedies and nostrums without avail. The more anti fat remedies she swallowed the fatter she became, and in July, 1896, she weighed 205 pounds. One day she found a perfect cure, and in two months thereafter she appeared in a high-class young girl part, weighing just 128 pounds, and the reduction in flesh was without the least injury to her health or purse.
