eiottoi thm state board of transport
ti90. 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.

Mutual Hail Insurance
The season for Hail Insurance i$ close
t hand. 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.

San Juan, Puert6 Rico, March 30.
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

THE KENTUCKY FIGHT
Beckham Is- Declared Governor by the
Coart of Appeals and Taylor Flees
to the Mountains
Frankfort, Ky., April 6. 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. ;

She tried many medical remedies and

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.
