ERIEF ABOUT READY. And Will Soon Ee Filed in Supreme Court. Arthur Muller has prepared a part of the brief which be will file in sup port of his application to 'the supreme court fee a rehearing of the case of State vs. Ragan, in which the Donohoe non-partisan judiciary act was declared invalid. Thus far Mullen has treated only the limitation of signers to ,'00 in each county. He points out that this provision is only in line with the general acceptance as a fact that the power of nomination is not as free as j the power of voting. He also urges j that this limitation was only in line with the accepted fact that the legis lature may make necessary restric tions in election laws. He then points out that voters are restricted in alt states where a certain percentage of the total vote must vote each ticket in order for the party to have a legal standing. In Nebraska a party must poll 1 per cent, in Minnesota 10 and in other states varying proportions. Hu also points out that if the limita tion of the Donohoe act was illegal that something may be wrong with the federal constitution which will not permit an elector to vote for a vioe president and a president from the same state. Along this line he points out that tux presidential electors are named in six congressional districts of the state and two at large. Conse quently no voter in the state has a right to dictate the nomination of more than three of the eight electors in Iiis state. He also urges that if the Donohoe act is invalid on account of Us invasion of the Dili of rights that tlie present convention act is out of line. Companies Must Prove Themselves. Companies which propose to begin the insurance business on a very strong basis may be required to prove tlie genuiness of their intentions in Nebraska, according to the statement made by State Auditor Barton, after his return from the meeting of state insurance commissioners at Denver. It is merely a question of whether the mom y received from stock sales is actually used to build up a surplus or to feather the nests of promoters. A characteristic scheme for such promoters to use is for the promoter to approach one well up financially and assure him that there is a gilt edged proposition ahead, wherein $100 share of stock is to be sold for $200. this extra $100 being turned into the company for a working surplus. This idea carried out, would provide the basis of a strong company. But it seems that this surplus is usc-d largely lor promoting purposes and that some of the more unscrupulous of such com panies thus charge the subscriber $100 for taking $200 away from him with little promise to make good. Australia Interested in Guaranty. Richard A. Crouch of Australia, writ ing on a Parliament letterhead, has re quested the governor to send him a copy of the Nebraska depository law enacted by the late legislature. Mr. Crouch wrote that he understood Ne braska had passed such a law and he desired full information concerning it. Complaint Against Saloon. R. D. Evans of Dakota county has written to the legal department of the state to the effect that he believes the Sioux City Brewing company and the Inter-State Brewing company of that city are violating the law both of Nebraska and Iowa. He said these companies haul their beer into Ne braska and ship it back to Iowa and by tliis way lie says they violate the law of both states. Object to Lowering Rates. At Lyons the Home Telephone com pany concluded to reduce its rates and proposed that the state railway com mission grant the authority. Before the commission got busy, however, the Lyons Independent Telephone com pany. which has not yet started busi ness, appealed to the commission to permit it to show cause why these rates should not be reduced. The hear ing will be granted. Pullman Seats Free. At 'tlie request of the I'nion Pacific ited the Pullman company, the State Railway commission has modified its orrler relating to the sale of seat tic kets on trains Nos. 7 and 8 of the Union Pacific, The new order issut?d following a conference of the commis sion and officials of the Pullman and railroad company, provides, that no seats may be sold on these trains, but that when the local coach is full, pas , sengers arc entitled to any vacant aeats on the parlor and sleeping ear witout extra charge. It is provided, however, the passenger who is riding in the parlor car without cost must return to the coach whenever there is a seat for him mere. Postmaster Appointed. Kdward Zink has been appointed postmaster at Sterling and Miss Dora Beubler will act as his deputy. The places of the Burlington train men at Wymore, who were discharged for taking goods from ears in transit, are being filled by new men. In ah. about twenty employes were let out. Bid to Old Normal Board. The Commercial club of Alliance showed its faith in the ‘'old" Normal board by submitting to it a proposi tion for the new normal school. The Commercial club sent to Luther P. Ludden, secretary, an offer to give to the state eighty acres of land, if the school is located there. Enclosed "with the proposition were several petitions from neighboring towns asking that the school he located there, and also a statement signed by numerous bu siness men offering a bond of $20,000 to guaranty title to the property. Switch Wanted at Schuyler. The Wells-Abbott Neiman company of Schuyler has filed an amended peti tion in its request to the state railway commission to compel the Union Pa • cific to construct a transfer switch to connect with the Burlington at Schuy ler. Bert Taylor Appeals. Bert Taylor, the Minden murderer ■sentenced to ho hanged, has appealed to the supreme court. His attorney. I J. M. McPheely of Minden, tiled the appeal in the supreme court. | f SYNOPSIS. “Mad” Dah Maitland, on reaching Ids New York bachelor club, met an attrac tive young woman at the door. Janitor O’Magan assured him no one had teen within that day. Dan discovered a wom an’s linger prints in dust on his <l.*sk, along vrith a letter from his attorney. Maitland dined with Bannerman. his at torney. Dan set out for Greenfields to get his family jewels. During his walk to the country' seat, he met the young woman in gray, whom he had seen leav ing iila bachelors’ club. Her auto had broken down. He fixed it. By a ruse she “hi:”" him. Maitland, on reaching home, surprised lady in gray, cracking the safe containing his gems. She, apparently, look him for a well-known crook. Daniel Anisty. Half-hypnotized, Maitland opened hi.*t safe, took therefrom the jewels, and gave* them to her, first forming a part nership in crime. The real Dan An sty. sought by police of the world, appeared on the same mission. Maitland overcame him. He met the girl outside the house and they sped on to New York In her au to. He had the jewels and she promised m meet him that day. Maitland r. eived a "Mr. Snafth.” introducing himself as a detective. To shield the girl In gray, Maitland, about to show him the jew els, supposedly lost, was felled by a blow from “Snaith's” cam*. Tim latt* r proved to be Anisty himself and 1 c secured the gems. Anisty, who was Maitland’s dou ble. tmikqin raded as the latter. The c riminal kept Maitland’s engagement with the girl in gray, lie gave her the guns, after falling in love at first sight, ’’hey wore to mee t and divide the loot. Mait land revived and regretted missing his « ng.igement. Anisty, masquerading as Maitland. narrowly avoided capture through mysterious tip. The girl in gray visited Maitland’s apartments during; his absence and returned gems, being dis covered on return. Maitland, without cash, called up his home and hca \1 a woman’s voice expostulating. Anisty. disguised as Maitland, told her his real identity and realizing himself tricked tried to wring from her the location of the gems. Then lie proposed marriage. A crash was beard at the front door. Mait land started for home. He found Anisty and the girl in his rooms. Again he over whelmed the crook, allowing him to es cape to shield the young woman. Dan himself narrowly avoids arrest. Janltoi O’ifngan wined and dined the office's of the law. Hickey, a delc< live, dupe 1 by Anisty. refused to partake and mused on his HI-fate. The girl i|* gray made he: • c ape, jumping into a c ab. An instant late r, by working a ruse, Anisty was at her side. CHAPTER XIII.—Continued. Bitter as poverty the cruel lash cut round I he horse's flanks: and a: the hansom shot out at breakneck speed toward Fifth avenue, the girl cowered back in her corner, shivering, staring wirle-evtd at the man who had sc coolly placed Jiimself at her side. This, then, was that nameless dan ger that had stalked her on the stair case, this the personality whose ani mosity toward her had grown sc virulent that, even when consciously ignorant of its proximity, she had been repelled and frightened by its subtle emanations! And now’—and now she was in his power! Dazed wilh fear she started up. aei ing blindly on the primitive instinct to fly: and in another moment, doubt less, would have thrown herself bold ly from the cab to the sidewalk had her companion not seized her by the forearm and by simple force com pelled her to resume her seat. "Be still, you liltle fool!" he told her sharply. “Do you think that I'm going to let you go a third time? Not till I'm through with you. . . . And if you scream, by the powers, I'll throttle you!” CHAPTER XIV. Retribution. She sank back, speechless. Anisty glanced her up and down without visible emotion, then laughed un pleasantly—the hard and unyielding laugh of brute man brutishlv impas sioned. This silly ass, Maitland,” he ob served, "isn't really as superfluous ad be seems. I find him quite a conveni ence, and i supjiose that ought to be totted up to his credit, since it’s be cause he's got the good taste to re semble me. . . . Consider his thoughtfulness in providing me this cab! Whal'd I’ve done without it? To tel] the truth 1 was quite at a loss to frame it up, how to win your coy consent to this giddy elopment, back there in ibe hail. But dear kind Mis ter Maitland, bless his innocent heart! fixes it all up for me. . . . And so." concluded the criminal with ironic relish—"and so I've got ycu, my ladv.” He looked at her in sidelong fash ion. speculative, calculating, relent less. And she bowed her head, as senting. “Yes-—" "You're dead right, little woman. Got you. Cm-inmm.” She made no reply: she could have made none aside from raising an out cry, although now she was regaining something of her shattered poise, and with it the ability to accept the situa tion quietly, for a little time (she could not guess how long she could endure the strain), pending an oppor tunity to turn the tables on this, her persecutor. "What is it." she said presently, with some effort—"what is it you wish with me?" "i have my purpose," with z. grim smile. "You will not tell me?” "You've guessed it, my lady; I will not—just yet. Wait a bit.” She spurred her flagging spirit until it flashed defiance. "Mr. Anistv!" Yes?' he responded with a curling lip. cold eyes to hers. “I demand—" "No you don’t!" he cut her short with a snarl. “You're not in a position to demand anything. Maybe it would be as well for you to remember who you're dealing with." "And—?”—heart sinking again. "And I've been made a fool of just as long as I can stand for it. I’m a crook—like yourself, my lady, but with more backbone and some pride in be ing at tlie head of'my profession. I'm wanted in a dozen places; I'll spend the rest of my days in the pen, if they ever get me. Twice to-day I’ve been within" an ace of being nabbed—kind ness of you and your Maitland. Now —I’m desperate and determined. Do you connect?” "What—?” she asked, breathlessly. “You—You Mf.in You Would Shoot Me?” She Whispered. “I can make you understand, 1 fancy. To-night, instead of dropping to the backyard and shinning over the | fences to safety, 1 took the fire-escape I up to the top-fiat—something a copper would never think of—and went i through to ihe hall. Why? Why, to i interrupt the tender tete-a-tete Mait i land had planned. Why again? Iie i cause, for one thing. I've never yet j becti beaten at my own game; and I’m too oid a dog to learn new tricks. Moreover, no man yel has ever laid hands on me in anger and not regret ted ii." The criminal's voice fell a note cr two, shaking with somber pas | sion. "I'll have that pup’s hide yet!” j ho swore. The girl tried to nerve herself. “It i —it doesn't seem to strike you,” she t argued, controlling her hysteria by j sheer strength of purpose, “that I i have only to raise my voice to bring all Broadway to my rescue.” For by now the cab had sheered off into that, thoroughfare, and was rock ing rapidly south, between glittering walls of light. A surface car swooped down upon them, and past, making nigh; hideous with gong and drum ming trucks, and drowning Anisty's response. For which reason he chose to repeat it, with added emphasis. "You try it on. my lady, and see | what happens.” I She had no answer ready, and he I proceeded, after waiting a monent: ! “But you're net going to be such a j fool. You have no pleasure in the prospect of seeing the inside of the Tombs, yourself; and, besides, you ought to know me well enough to know. . . "Wliat?” she breathed, in spite of herself. Aniniy folded his arms, thrusting the right hand beneath his coat. “.'.Init laud got only one of my guns,” he announced, ironically. "He'd 've got the contents of the other, only he chose to play the fool and into my hands. Now I guess you understand” —and turning his head he fixed her with an inflexible glare, chill and heartless as steel—“that one squeal out of you will be the last. Oh, I’ve go; no scruples: arrest to me means a living death. I'll take a short course, i by preference, and—I'll take you with i me lor company." j "You—you mean you would shoot j me?" she whispered, incredulous. ! "Like a dog,” he returned with unction. "You. a man. would—would shoot a woman?” “You're not a woman, my lady; j you’re a crook. Just as I’m not a man; I'm a crook. We're equals, sex less. soulless. You seem to have over looked that. Amateurs often do. . . . To-night I made you a fair proposition, to play square with me and profit. You chose to be haughty. Now you see ihe other side of the picture.” Bravado? Or deadly purpose? How could she tell? Her heart misgave her; she crushed herself away from him as from some abnormally vicious, loathly reptile. He understood this: and regarded lier with a confident leer, inscrutably I strong and malevolent. | “And there is one other reason why | you wiH think twice before making a i row,'' he clinched his case. “If you ! did that, and I weakly permitted the i police to nah and walk us oil. the busi i ness would get in the papers—your name and all; and—what’d Maitland think of you then, my lady? What’d he think when he read that Dan i Anisty had been pinched on Broad way in company with the little woman he’d been making eyes at—whom he wa.-. going, in his linn manlike way. to reach down n hand to and yank up out of the gutter and redeem and— and all that slush? Eh?” And again his low evil laugh made her shudder. “Now, you won't risk that. You'll come with me and be have, I guess, all right." She was dumb, stupefied with mis ery. He turned upon her sharply. •Well ?” Her lips moved in soundless assent —lips as pallid and bloodless as the wan young face beneath the small inconspicuous hat. , The man grunted impatiently; yet was satisfied, knowing that he had her now completely under control; a condition not hard to bring about in a woman who, like this, was worn out with physical fatigue and overwrought with nervous strain. The conditions had been favorable, the result was pre-eminently comfortable. She would give him no more trouble. The hansom swerved suddenly across the car-tracks and pulled up at the curb. Anisty rose with an ex clamation of relief and climbed down to the sidewalk, turning and extending a hand to assist the girl. "Come!" he said, imperatively. “We’ve no time to waste.” For an instant only she harbored a fugitive thought of resistance; then his eyes met hers and held them, and her mind seemed to go blank under his steadfast and domineering regard. "Come!" he repeated sharply. Trem bling. she placed a hand in his and somehow found herself by his side Regardless of appearances the man retained her hand, merely shifting it beneath bis arm, where a firm pres sure of the elbow held it as in a vise. "You needn't wait,” he said curtly to the cabby; and swung about, the girl by his side. “No nonsense now," he warned her tensely, again thrusting a hand in his breast pocket significantly. “1 understand.” she breathed faintly, between closed teeth. She had barely time 10 remark the towering white facade of upper Broad way's tallest sky-scraper ere she was half led, half dragged into the entrance of the building. The marble slabs of the vestibule echoed strangely to their footsteps— those slabs that shake from dawn to dark with the tread of countless feet. They moved rapidly toward the cle vator-shaft, passing on their way de serted cigar and news-stands shroud ed in dirty brown clothes. By the dark and silent well, where the six eleva tors (of which one only was alight and ready for use) stood motionless as if siumbaring in utter weariness after the gigantic exertions of t'ne day, they came to a halt: and a chair was scraped noisily on the floor as a night watchman rose, rubbing his eyes and yawning, to face them. Anisty opened -the interview brusquely. “Is Mr. Bannerman In now?” he demanded. ' The watchman opened bis eves wider, losing some of his sleepy ex pression; and observed the speaker and his companion—the small, shrink ing, frightened-looking little woman j who bore so heavily on her escort's arm, as if ready to drop with ex haustion. It appeared that he knew Maitland by sight, or else thought that he did. "Oh, ye're Mister Maitland, ain't you?” he said. “Nope; if Misther Ban nerroan's in his ofils, I dunno nothin’ about it.” “He was to meet me here at two,” Anisty affirmed. “It’s a very import ant case. I’m sure he must be along, immediately, if he's not upstairs. You’re sure—?” “Nali, 1 ain't sure. He may ’ve been there all night, fr all I know. But I'll take you up 'f you want,” with a doubtful glance at the girl. “This lady is one of Mr. Banner man's clients, and in great trouble.” The self-stvied Maitland laid his hand in a protecting gesture over the fingers on his arm; and pressed them cruelly. “I think we will go up, thank you. If Bannerman’s not in, I can 'phone him. I’ve a pass-key.” The watchman appeared satisfied; Maitland’s social standing was guar anty enough. “All right, sir. Step in.” The girl made one final effort to hang hack. Anisty's brows blackened. “By God!” he to’d her in a whisper. “If you dare . . .!” And somehow she found herself at ! his side in the steel cage, the gate's | clang ringing loud in her ears. The motion of the car, shooting upwards with rapidly increasing speed, made her slightly giddy. Despite Anisty's supporting arm she reeled back against the wall of the cage, closing her eyes. The man observed this with covert satisfaction. As the speed decreased she began to feel slightly stronger; and again opened her eyes. The floor numbers, black upon a white ground, were steadily slipping down; the first she recognized being 19. The pace was sensibly decreased. Then with a slight jar the elevator stopped at 22. “Yous know the way?” “Perfectly,” replied Anisty. “Two flights up—in the tower.” “Right. When yous wants me, ring.” The ear dropped like a plummet, I leaving them in darkness—or rather j in a thick gloom but slightly mod- ! erated by the moonlight streaming in at windows at either end of the cor ridor. Anisty gripped the girl more roughly. “Now, my lady! No shennanigan!” A futiie, superfluous reminder. Tem- ! ! porarily at least she .was become as j wax in his hands. So complex had been the day's emotions, so severe her nervous tension, so heavy the tax upon her stamina, that she had lapsed into a state of subjective conscious ness, in which she responded without purpose, almost dreamily to the sug gestions of the stronger will. Wearily she stumbled up the two brief flights of stairs leading to the tower-like cupola of the sky-scraper; two floors superimposed upon the roof with scant excuse save that of giving the building the distinction of being the loftiest in that section of the city —certainly not to lend any finishing touch of architectural beauty to the edifice. On the top landing a door confront ed them, its glass pane! shining dimly in the darkness. Anisty paused, un ceremoniously thrusting the girl to one side and away from the head of the staircase; and here fumbled in a pocket, presently producing a jingling bunch of keys. For a moment or two she heaid Iiim working at the lock and muttering in an undertone—prob ably swearing—and then, with a click, the door swung open. The man thrust a hand inside, i touched an electric swileh. flooding the room with light, and motioned the girl to enter. She obeyed passively, thoroughly subjugated, and found her self in a large and well-furnished of fice, apparently the ouier of two rooms. The glare of electric light at first partly blinded her: and she halted instinctively a few steps from the door, waiting for her eyes to be come accustomed to the change. (TO TIE CONTINUED.) The Renaissance. The word “renaissance” has in re- • cent years acquired a more extended j I significance than that which is implied i in our English equivalent, “the revival j of learning.” lly the term is now j meant the whole transition from the : middle ages to the modern world. Al- : though it is possible to assign certain j limits to the period, we cannot figure | on any date so positively as to say between this year and that the move ment, was accomplished." THE PROLIFIC QUEEN BEE i ne queen nee is a great antagon ist of race suicide. She strites to perpetuate the race with an ardor and an understanding that is worihy of the highest commendation. Some have been known to lay 4,000 eggs a day for a year, the number lessening after that to 1,200 and going forward at that ratio for another two years. With 00,000 bees to the colony that single praiseworthy queen laid enough eggs to establish 40 colonies. Bee keepers litres cm a net income of three dollars a colony each year. If the owners of the bee under discus sion profited from her labors to that extent the gain was $14S. It is not tj be presumed that any such results ' ~ i were obtained.

Union Pacific Passenger Depart ment announces that Colonist Fares will he in effect from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, 1909, to all points in the West and Northwest. This year the West looks more promising than ever. Now is the time to secure land at low prices, and, at the same time, to visit the many inter esting points in the West and North west. at which liberal stopover ar rangements may be made. A better estimate of raw lands can be made now than formerly, because these lands are in proximity to new farms that are producing wonderful crops. For descriptive literature, write to E. L.

Consumption can be cured, or ar rested, in any section of the United States, and the percentage of cures in the east and the west is nearly the same. Any physician, therefore, who sends a person to the southwest with out sufficient funds, or in an advanced or dying stage of the disease, is guilty of cruelty to his patient. Renewed efforts are being made to stop this practice, and to encourage the build ing of small local hospitals in every city anu town in the country. At tempts are also being made in South ern California and in Texas to ex-, elude indigent consumptives or to send them back to the east. Care In Preparing Food. In recent years scientists have proved that the value of food is mens ured largely by its purity; the re sult is the most stringent pure food laws that have ever been known. One food that has stood out promi nently as a perfectly clean and pure food and which was as pure before the enactment of these laws as it could possibly be is Quaker Oats: conceded by the experts to be the ideal food for making strength of muscle nnd brain.
