They were discussing the law of en tail—tbe English law bequeathing the bulk of the family property to the eldest son. “There is 50 per cent, of logic in that law," said a physician, “and if the family property went to the firstborn, whether son or daugnter, the law would contain 100 pe- cent, of logic. For the first bom child is practically always the best—best in brain, in buiid. in beauty, in everything. "Why is this so? It is because mar ried people love one another more pro foundly at the beginning than after ward; for love, like all things, grows old. grows weak, often dies. ‘ Mrs. Craigie—John Oliver Hobbes —was a first born child. So was Marie Corelli. So was Richard Mansfield. So were Joseph Chamberlain. Lord Kitchener, Mas Muller, Henry Irving, George Meredith. ‘‘Look back into the past, and we see again the prominence of the first bo-n. among them Mohammed. Con rucius. Raphael, Milton, Dante.

She was very graciously in clined. and did her utmost to make conversation. "Are you not a poet?" she finally asked. ‘‘’Well," said Browning, "people are sometimes kind enough to say that I am." ‘‘Oh. please don’t mind my having mentioned It," the duchess hastened to say. with the kindest of smiles “Yon know Byron and Tennyson and others were poets.” A Value. “Nonsense,' said the high financier, “we did not sell a worthless fran chise.” “But such is current report,” ven tured the Interviewer. The high financier made a gesture of impatience. “Young man.” he re turned. severely, “if yon got hold of any old franchise that you could un load for two millions, would you re gard It as worthless?” No reply being possible to this, none was made.

HER “BEET FRIEND.” A Woman Thus Speaks of Postum. We usually consider our best friends those who treat us best. Some persons think coffee a real ff friend, but watch it carefully awhile and observe that it is one of the meanest of all enemies for it stabs one while professing friendship. Coffee contains a poisonous drug— caffeine—which injures the delicate nervous system and frequently sets up disease in one or more organs of the body. If its use is persisted in. “I had heart palpitation and nerv ousness for four years and the doctor told me the trouble was caused by coffee. He advised me to leave it off, but I thought I could not," writes a Wis. lady. “On the advice of a friend 1 tried Postum Food Coffee and it bo satis fied me that I did not care for coffee after a few days’ trial at Postum. “As weeks went by and I continue.!] to use Postum my weight Increased from 96 to 118 pounds, and the heart trouble left me. I have used it a year now, and am stronger than 1 ever was. I can hustle up stairs without any heart palpitation, and I am cured of nervousness. "My children are very fond of Post um and It agrees with them. My sis ter liked it when Bhe drank it at my house, bat nut when she made it at her own home.

A letter was I'eceivecl from Passen ger Traffic Manager P. 6. Hustle of the Burlington inflaming the railroad commission that trie new cream rates promulgated to go into effect on No-/ ▼ember 1 must await judicial determi natioB hr the Chicago federal court. Mr. EustU says the Burlington would gladly place the rates on its tariff sheets, and. in fact, had the new sched ules already prepared, but for the or der of the federal eourc. Now he in dicates there is nothing to do but to let the courts decide. This presents an actual conflict be tween the federal conn and the rail road commission, and it is certain the. commissioners will at once take steps to enforce their order. No restraining order of any federal court lias been served- upon the board, and they are of the opinion that the order of a Chi cago federal judge on the Burlington has littie weight in Nebraska under the circumstances. A notification to this effect will ie sent to Mr. Eustis. and the® tbe battleground will change from Chicago to the Comhusher state This is practically the first order of the board that has gone far enough to enable a test a! this character, and that it will be made is certain unless the Burlington changes front and de cides to -enforce the new tariff on cream. For each offense on the part of a road in disregarding an order of tbe commission the penalty fixed is ; a fine of not less than 51.000 or more | than $5,000. and officers and employes j of the road involved may be fined j from $10C> to $500 for each offense. ! These provision;?, are certain to be used, anti prompt action on the part of the commissioners may be looked for. Later—Notice was received Friday by the railroad commission in the shape of a telegram from Traffic Man ager P. S. Eustis of the Burlington i that his road would enforce tbe new cream rates in Nebraska beginning No vember 4. Friday was the time fixed by the commission for the new charges to be elective. While on I the face of the situation the attitude of the railroad appears favorable, the i members of the board will take steps to secure evidence of violation of their order should anv occur. This means that if f*e commissioners ascertain that cream is being shipped ar. the old rate the road so offending will be amenable to the state courts for vio lation. The St. Joe fr Grand Island road at first accepted the new cream rates, and filed its schedules witb the board, but later withdrew the new rates, giv ing the same reason as the Burlington. Brief in Pure Food Law. General Ccwin, attorney fo- the ; packers, has fiietd a brief with the i pure food commissioner in which he contests the interrelation put on the pure food law by the commissioner. General Cowin expressed the opinion that where meat packages are not stamped at all with the weight, the law has not been disobeyed. But if the weight is stamped on the package in correctly. then tite law has been vio lated. He calls attention to the na tional law and the lawr, of other states which are like the national law in this respect, and th«*e provide for the stamping of the net weight when the contents is set out in the weight. Be says. The law in for the purpose of preventing deceit, said General Cowin. and if the weight is not stamped on the package, then deceit is not prac ticed. As for stamping the weight of a ham on the outside wrapper, the brief says it is practically impossible, as the meat constantly shrinks. The wrapper iF put around the ham to gether with the oil paper, the brief said, to prevent it from spoiling, and when thus wrapped is guaranteed for thirty days. Otherwise the purchaser buys at his own risk. Transferred to Federal Court. The case of Woods BroB. against the American Express company, in which they sue for $10,000 damages for de lay on a cable of funds to Antwerp. Belgium, was transferred to the fed eral court from the Lancaster district court, where it was first filed by the plaintiffs. The transfer was made by the defendants in the case. The plain tiffs allege that on November 1. 1905. they cabled to Joseph Watson at Ant werp 80,000 frants, or 815.480.67, to pay for thirty-six horses The cable was so delayed Thai Watson was un able to ship the horses by a certain boat, and they did not reach Lincoln in time for ar, advertised sale at which they were to be sold. Railroad Commissioner "Williams last week telephoned to Secretary Clark Perkins of the commission from Sargent that a large shipment of cat tie was received there, on which there was due $1,300 freight, which the con signee was unable to pay in cash be cause of the recent decision of the banks not to pay currency except in j small amounts. The cattle were un loaded at Sargent in the railroad yards, and as feed is scarce, there is likely to be a caniiitlerabie amount of liability to some one. E. E. Brown, one of the Bartley bondsmen, has brought suit against Robert Ryan, his attorney, for some thing over $2,000, which he rlattna in due on a note. On one occasion $100 war- credited on Hie note and on an-, other $2,000 for legal sendees. Ryan wee attorney for Brown in the Bart ley matter and succeeded in getting him off without the payment of the bonds. Ryan claims no setthsnent has been made fon hte services and Brown owes him considerably j *1 HIm State Treasurer Report*. Treasurer Brian hat> filed his report of the months' bus in .re with the state auditor. Mr. Brian is carrying as cash items warrants which otherwise would have to be rej^stered lor pay ment and which would draw 4 per cent interest. By taking up these war rants with money out of the tempo rary school fund and merely holding them until the general fund is able to take care of them, he loses the 3 per cent interest which would accrue were the temporary school fund deposited. But in the long run he saves the state 1 per cent, inasmuch its the registered warrants would draw 4 per cent inter est. Contrary to the general impression all ol the Lincoln hanks save one have state deposits and ate paying 3 per cent interest, while in Omaha the Brandeis bank pays the state 3 per cent. At this time Mr. Brian has on hand in currency in the neighborhood of J800. His business has always been carried on largely with checks, and he is continuing to issue checks, giving to those who need the cash just as little as possible. Warrants issued against the tempo rary university fund are being regis tered, but usually run only a short time. Since January 4. 1907, the state debt has been reduced $567,211.64. Janu ary 4 the debt was $1,841,228.40 and at elose of business Thursday the debt was $1,284,016.76. The school fund invested in bonds since January 1 has increased $993,712.22. January 1 the school fund invested in bonds amount ed to $5.722.42412, and on November 1, the investment in bonds amounted to 96.716,137.515. Pollard Preparing for Terminal Tax. R. D. Pollard, tax c ommissioner of the Burlington, accompanied by his son and assistant. Frank Pollard, called on Secretary Bennett of the state board of assessment to talk over the forms to be used in assessing the property of railroads located in towns and villages under the provisions of the terminal tax law enacted by the recent legislature. While the new law will occasion much work, especially for the engineering department, Mr. Pollard said in his department he probably would need no extra help. Mr. Pollard has already had exper: ence with the South Dakota terminal tax law. and he said while the asses sors placed the value of the property plenty high, he did nox know what in crease would be made in the amount of taxes, because the levies had not yet been made. In Kansas a tax com mission has been created which has full charge of the matter, and the rail roads are yet to test this method in •that state. Heretofore the local prop erty has been assessed by a state board there, and returned to the city or village in which the property is lo cated. Hay Car Case Appealed. The Northwestern railroad has ap pealed to the supreme court the case brought by Frank Dabney of Stuart, before Judge Westover, asking for a mandamus to compel the road to fur nish five cars a day for ten days for shipment of hay. The mandamus was granted by Judge Westover. Judge Letton has allowed a supersedeas, the bond being fixed at 82,500 and signed by R. W. McGinnis, Northwestern agent at Lincoln. The railroad claims it is not in the jurisdiction of the dis trict court to mandamus a railroad in this way. Overcharges by Railroads. Secretary of State Junkin is of the opinion that overcharges have been made by the railroadE on all packages of books sent to county clerks. The total sum thus realized is estimated at about 85d0. aF such packages have been sent to each county. Mr. Junkin has received a letter from the Burling ton agent at Mullen stating that the charges on the rejected house and sen ate journals, w^re 46 cents instead of 90 cents, as at first reported. Mr. Junkin has ascertained that the charges should have been 25 cents in stead of 48 cents. Not Admitted to Home. Because Burdette M. Cleveland of Fremont receives a veteran's pension of 830 per month, he cannot be ad mitted to the Grand Island soldier’s home. This was the decision made by Secretary of State Junkin and Land Commissioner Eaton, who declared that the home at Grand Island was maintained for indigent veterans, and that this man's pension was too large to allow him admittance. Missouri Pacific Reports. The Missouri Pacific Railroad com pany has made its weekly report to the railway commission showing the amount of work done on the line. To October 26 tier had been spotted to the number of 11*6.188; ties renewed, 67.854: ties received, 66,764; ties on hand, 910; section men employed, 256. This report was for one division. No Mare Special Rates. No more special rates tar parties in special cars. The Union Pacific in formed the railway commission that the present plan of carrying eighteen persons in a special car was unremu nerative. After this there must be first-class fares tor eighteen, unless the travelers are only going one way. This will be a hard blow to the land seekers, who are in the habit Of en gaging cars tor the round trip. They will be compelled to pay full fare both ways. “There is not a cent of state money in the suspended hank at Grand Isl and,’' mid State Treasurer Brian, A balance of $4,000 was withdrawn some months ago the treasurer added be cause the bank demurred to paying 2 ■per cent interest.
