ED CINCHES CASE
CITES SUPREME COURT RULINC j
IN RAIL BOARD MATTER.
DI6S UP MORTENSEN AFFAIR
Opinion Handed Down by Chief Jus
tice Reese in 1911 Similar to
Present Controversy.
Lincoln.—Attorney General Reed
has. played another trump eard in
support of liis contention that the
three members of the Nebraska rail
way commission were holding office
illegally. Having waited to see what
the commissioners would say Mr.
Reed comes back with a recent de
cision of tlio Nebraska supreme court
which apparently cinches his case.
The attorney general has dug up a
decision in which the opinion was
written by Chief Justice M. B. Reese
in 1»11 in the suit, brought by Peter
Mcrtensen to decide whether he or
VV. J. Purse was entitled to hold of
fice. Purse was appointed to till the
vacancy created by the death of VV.
H. Cowgill. Mortensen claimed the
office by virtue of nomination and
election, he having tiled for it after
the governor appointed Purse. The
question raised in the case was
whether the governor had the right to
appoint, the constitution naming sev
eral executive offices which the gov
ernor can fill when they become va
cant. The railway commission was
not named in that connection. It was
claimed by Morteneen and his attor
neys that the only way to HU the
office of railway commissioner was
by election. The supreme court held
the office of railway commissioner to
be executive, precisely as Mr. Reed
lias contended all along. It found
the governor had the right to appoint
to fill a vacancy. The railway com
missioners claim they did not come
until Article 5 of the constitution,
which relates to the executive depart
ment, and therefore they did not
have to file bonds. Mr. Reed cites
flit opinion as conclusive proof of his
contention that bond must be filed.
Fear Horse Malady.
A spread of glanders is feared,
with numerous reports of out
breaks of the horse disease in var
lous parts of the state which have
been coming into the office of the
state veterinarian. Or. .1. A. Boyd of
Mason Pity, a government inspector,
who was a state house caller, said
that at least fifty cases of ttie disease
had been found between Mullen and
Heela. Neb. A good many of these
■uses, it is believed, can be traced to
importations of horses from other i
states.
Slate Veterinarian Anderson was j
called to Beatrice recently to investi- |
gate a supposed case of glanders and
Assistant Veterinarian MeKim was !
called to Homer. Neb., on a similar
mission.
Murphy Under the Ban.
Believing that the action of Ken
neth Murphy. George Carlson and
Ernest Elrod, paroled convicts, in
breaking their paroles will jeopardize
their chances of being favored, cor
victs at the penitentiary are said to
have taken steps to boycott the men
so< tally They do not approve of the
action of the men in breaking faith
with the governor, pardon board and
lie warden, and will show the re- 1
turned men by numerous little ways
that they ate in bad in prison society.
Improving State Roads.
The State Board of irrigation has j
named an advisorv board or state ;
highway commission, which will look \
after the work of improving state
roads. They are Harry Miller of i
Stanton. Pat Welsh of McCook and j
Dr. Condra of the State Conserva- i
tion commission of Lincoln.
May Wrestle During Fair.
State fair visitors may have an op
portunity to see a real "rassle" if the
plans of Joe Steelier materialize.
Steelier is anxious to take on some
one on Wednesday evening of the fair
who will make it interesting for him i
and lias entered into negotiations j
with I)r. Roller of Seattle.
Raise in Phone Rentals Granted. j
The increase of phone rentals for
the Valparso Telephone Co. was
granted by the state railway commis
sion iu line with the request of the
company. Phone rates have been
raised to $2.50 on business phonps,
$1.50 on residence and $1.25 per
month on farm lines.
Complains of Stock Yards.
A letter was received at the office
of the railway commission last week
from R. J. Howard of Wellfleet. who
complains that the railway stock
yards in that town are not sufficient
to take care of the demand and that
they are unfit for occupancy.
Preparing to Police Fair Grounds.
Adjutant General Hall and other of
ficers of the National guard returning
from Crete, where the Fifth regiment
camp was held, expressed much sat
isfaction over the success of the
camp. “The drill was excellent and
the aeroplane features added much
to the camp," said the adjutant gen
eral. The guard is now preparing
for policing the state fair grounds
during fair week. Captain Brown of
Hastings ami Captain Todd of
Omaha will have charge of the forces.
Prehistoric Camel Found.
Another specimen of oxydactylus,
one of the great prehistoric camels
that roamed over the middle west
millions of years afo has just been
discovered by Prof. A. C. \\ hitford of
tlie university museum in Murphy
Canyon, near Ainsworth, Neb. This
Is the third known specimen of this
strange humpless camel of bygone
ages; one specimen Is in Carnegie
museum and the other is in the pri
vate museum on the Cook ranch In
Sioux county.

GERMAN SOAP FROM SUGAR
Discovery That Promises to Be of Im
mense Importance to Country in
the Midst of War.
The discovery is announced of a
method of manufacture of soap from
sugar, of which Germany has plenty,
instead of from oil, which is scarce. In
the past it has been possible to use
sugar only in soaps that had little
value By the new method, it is
claimed, the soap produced is not
only fine and delicate, but it acts as
efficiently in salt water as in fresh—
a fact that may make the soap valu
able for the navy.
Articles that formerly had to be
sent to chemical laundries can now be
washed with the new kind of soap.
The finest kinds of silks, it is alleged,
not only are not harmed by it. but
their colors are brought out brilliantly
and as uew. In addition, the sugar
soap seems to be responsible for a
minimum of the wear and tear occa
sioned by old-fashioned cleansing
soaps.

Hieroglyphics.
“You seem interested in that Egyp
tian obelisk.”
“1 am.” said the man with the faint
grin. “There’s no doubt that the pic
tures are funny. But the artist ought
to have put in some reading to show
what they're about.”
Heat Oranges Before Peeling.
Before peeling oranges, set them
in the oven to heat for a few minutes
and you will find that the tough white
skin can he easily removed with the
yellow rind. This makes the oranges
much safer to give to children.
Curb on Swiss Legislators.
In Switzerland, on the demand of
50,000 voters, or of eight cantons, any
law passed by the federal parliament
must be submitted to the general body
of the people for acceptance or re
action.
POINTED PARAGRAPHS
The wise man has doubts, but the
fool is always positive.
Most of us have loose purse strings

GINGERBREAD OF OLD DAYS
Was a Luxury That Filled an “Aching
Void’’ in the Down
East Boy.
U hat memories tills reference to the
tive-cent ginger cake of commerce will
arouse in the ngnds of men approach- ■
ing or past middle age who passed ;
their boyhood in the country! [
At all public gatherings where con- ;
cessions were given for the serving of
refreshments it was the chief feature j
in the order of the day down to a j
period of much later than half a cen- j
tury ago. And then it seems to have
disappeared, suddenly and mysterious- j
ly. after the manner of the disappear
ance of the bootjack and the passen
ger pigeon, and like them probably
never to return.
Who among us whose hair has grown ;
thin atop or disappeared altogether
cannot recall the bill of fare of the
refreshment venders in those earlier
and simpler days at fairs, town meet
ings and Fourth of July celebrations!
The assortment was not elaborate, hut
it was filling and satisfying, and one
got a good deal for his money, says ;
the Biddeford (Me.) Daily Journal. I
Most conspicuously displayed were |
those ginger cakes, everywhere lo
cally known as “baker's gingerbread,”
to distinguish it from homemade gin
gerbread, which lacked the delicate
color, the spicy fragrance, the work
manlike finish and pleasing regularity
of the imported article. Then there
were coffee served in big mugs; crack
ers and cheese, baked beans and j
brown bread, not infrequently home- I
made doughnuts, and always raw oy- j
sters.
The gingerbread and the oysters
were the things that took with the -
crowd; for only on such occasions
were these viands readily attainable.
What country boy has not watched
some older person order a saucer of
raw oysters, cover them with vinegar
and cayenne pepper and then absorb
them as to the manner born, with
out admiring the grace and notichal- |
ance with which the trick was done
and wishing for the time to come
when he might venture to give such :
an exhibition?
His consolation lay in a “sheet” of
1 that famous baker's gingerbread, and
| if he was particularly well fixed finan
I ciall.v, a piece of cheese to go with
it. Those were, indeed, happy days,
when a piece of gingerbread and a
hunk of cheese at a total expense of
3ix cents, would fill an aching void
which in these degenerate days is
hardly satisfied with a six-course din
ner.
It may be assumed that the men j
who made that famous gingerbread j
are not all dead. Here and there- i
throughout the country there must be !
several survivors who retired for well- !
earned rest after long service in the (
best interests of hungry humanity, i
This being the case, 't is barely pos- 1
sible that the recipe for those ginger i
cakes is not irretrievably lost.
Coal is Dethroned.
The Norfolk & Western railroad has |
•Mectrifled 100 miles of its system in !
West Virginia, one of the heaviest i
coal carriers in the world. The elec
tric locomotives in use weigh 270 j
ions each and two of them attached to i
a 4.000-ton train recently carried it j
with ease up a two per cent grade at
‘^e rate of fourteen miles an hour, a !
rate twice that attained by the most
efficient steam locomotives formerly
used on the system.
The Species.

"So have I.”

"Mine's a Plymouth Rock."

"Isn't it warm today?"
"Yes; but how lovely and cool your
furs do make you look.”
Exactly.
"What do you think? They pinched

my own son." continued the voice.
"I've always been devoted to your
interests. You know that, don't you.
Tom?”
"Of course," agreed Shipp.
“And always,” relentlessly pursued
the admirer. ‘‘I’ve watched your ca

your rapid advancement. It has made
me happier than I can say. You know
that, don't you, Tom?"
"Certainly,” replied Tom, whose arm
was beginning to ache from holding
the receiver.
