Protest on Attorney General.
Attorney General Willis Reed’s
name will not be placed on the re
publican primary ballot by Secretary
of State Pool, unless he is forced by a
writ of mandamus to do so. Mr. Pool
made this announcement, after a pro
test signed by Chairman J. C. Mc
Nish, of the republican state commit
tee, had been filed against allowing
Reed’3 name to go upon the ticket.
The protest was delivered to the
| secretary of state by R. Wr. DeVoe of
j Lincoln, himself a republican candi
date for attorney general, and J. Reid
Green, of this city, a candidate for
delegate to the republican national
I convention.
Reasons assigned by Chairman Mc
| Nish against the placing of the at
J torney general’s name on the republi
: can ticket were that the democratic
, and republican parties are in no way
I affiliated, and that Reed has made
i a statement under oath that he af
j filiates with the democratic party,
\ which disqualifies him from becoming
a republican candidate also.
Fees from Food Commission.
Food Commissioner C. E. Harman
cleared up some of his financial ac
counts with the state by paying $14,
722 to the clerk of the supreme court,
as oil inspection fees collected dur
ing February under the court’s or
der of January 20, and $515 ‘to the
state treasurer as the proceeds of
cold storage and commission mer
chants’ licenses issued in February.
Mr. Harman is still retaining his
fees for food and drug inspections and
using them in payment of operating
expenses of his department.
F. P. Corrick has filed protests
against all republican and democratic
office seekers who received “Bull
Moose" filings. Of those protested.
H. L. Cook, republican candidate for
land commissioner, Congressman
Reavis, of the First district, repub
lican; and A. O. Thomas, republican,
for state superintendent, have with
drawn the progressive filings. Others
protested by Mr. Corrick are: Treas
urer G. E. Hall, democrat; P. L.
Hall, candidate for regent, and Con
gressman Sloan. Shallenberger and
Kinkaid.
The Kearney State Normal school
has announced a new venture in the
way of ■ extension work, which has
been extensively carried on by this
school for the past year. Recently a
rural teachers’ training department
was installed at the school, .with Prof.
L. B. Spiple in charge. This has been
developed and as a result an appeal
has been made to the president to ex
tend the work carried on. As a result
both the rural schools at Glenwood and
Buda will benefit to the extent of hav
ing a special normal course in rural
training
No Right to Charge Meter Rental.
Cities and public utility corporations
in Nebraska furnishing electric lights
or other service from generating
plants or distributing systems have no
right to charge patrons a meter ren
tal in addition to the regular rates,
unless specific provision to that effect
is contained in the local ordinances
governing service and rates.
This is the holding of the Nebraska
supreme court in an opinion handed
down in a case from Nemaha coun
ty, brought by M. S. Mclninch, an
attorney, against the Auburn Mutual
Lighting & Power company. Mclninch
applied for and obtained an injunc
tion restraining the company from
taking out his service because he re
fused to pay 25 cents per month elec
trict meter rent for three months dur
ing the year 1913. The high bench af
firms the order of the district court.
The opinion, written by Judge
Hamer, does not deny the authority of
a city to provide by ordinance for the
collection of meter rent, but holds
that in the absence of such precision
it cannot collect such a charge. The
city or company furnishing the serv
ice, declares the opinion, must supply
th- meter as part of the necessary
equipment. The ordinance serves as
a contract between the city or com
pany and the patrons, and no charge
can be made for service beyond what
it provides.
Consignor Must Pay Shortage.
The supreme court has affirmed the
judgment of the district court of
Buffalo county in the suit of the
Union Pacific road to collect freight
charges on certain shipments of lum
ber. W. L. Stickel Lumber company
was the defendant. The lower court
decided against the railroad company.
The Union Pacific sued to recover the
difference between a rate charged for
a shipment of lumber and thp amount
that it should have charged under its
rates filed with the interstate com
merce commission. The court holds
that the company is entitled to collect
such a difference, but the carrier must
look to the consignor of the lumber
in Spokane with whom it contracted
to transport the shipment. The lum
ber was billed to the Fall City Lum
ber Co., Elm Creek. Added to this on
the bill was "Notify W. L. Stickel
Lumber company.” The railroad had
charged 46 cents a hundred and later
found it should have charged 60 cents.
Rev. W. H. Buss Wins Ode Contest.

ed to make a selection of the Nebras
ka state ode for the semi-centennial

tendent’s office Saturday morning to

President W. E. Nicholl of Bellevue
college and Miss Mary Crawford of
the Kearney state normal school, and
the award went to Rev. W. H. Buss
of Fremont. Miss Helen Carraher of
Lincoln, bein given second place.
State Superintendent Thomas has
appointed Dr. J. A. Beattie as moral
ity code writer for the state of Ne
braska. in connection with a national
organization that is urging moral in
struction in the schools. Character
education for children is the purpose
of this organization.

is to bring the university into closer
touch with the state. The German
dramatic club will make a separate

land and Hastings.
Brown and Keva Paha counties have
applied Jointly to the state board of
irrigation, highways and drainage for
a state aid bridge to be constructed
over the Niobrara river at McLean
crossing, to take the place of an old
structure which was carried out by the
ice this spring.
The week of April 3 is being boost
ed as pure food week, and the sug
gestion is made that “peace and
plenty” be adopted as a slogan and
the American flag used for decora
tive purposes in connection with food
displays.
The board of managers of the state
fair elected T. H. Wake of Seward
a member of the state board of agricul
ture to fill a vacancy caused by the
death of George F. Dickman of Seward
who was treasurer. Mr. WTake was
later elected superintendent of the
automobile exhibit. Jacob Sass of
Chaleo, who is an old member of the
state board was elected treasurer. The
selection of Mr. WTake was asked for
by a delegation of eighteen members
of the Seward Commercial club and
agricultural and live stock societies.
After April 1 it will not be possible
for anyone in Nebraska to register as
a veterinary practitioner under the
special provision of the state law al
lowing pereons who have had ten
years’ experience in the state and at
least one year in their own communi
ties to continue in practice without
taking the regular examination. If the
law had been rigidly applied, the time
for registration of such practitioners
would have expired on September 1
last year, but the state board of veter
inary examiners decided to extend it
six months
Ross’ Name on Both Tickets.
In the absence of any protest filed
within the legal period of time. Sec
retary of State Pool has decided that
the name of Robert W. Ross must
be printed on both the democratic
and republican primary ballots in Ne
braska, as a candidate for president of
the United States. Ross sent in his
own petitions some time ago, and the
newspapers called attention to them,
but nobody protested on behalf of
either party and now the time has
gone by in which this may be done.
MIISM WORK
“INTERESTS” SEEK TO CREATE
WAR, OFFICIALS BELIEVE.
PRESIDENT RESENTS ACTION
Sensational Stories From Border An
gers Wilson—Land1 Owners
Thought to Be Responsible.
Washington, D. C.—What are re
garded as evidences of activity of
powerful influences in Mexico through
the spreading of alarmist reports are
current in official circles here.
The administration is of the opin
ion that a definite effort is being
made to bring about war between the
United States and Mexico. One cabi
net member expressed the opinion
following a recent meeting that the
attempts to force intervention were
hacked by interests owning property
in northern Mexico.
Well defined steps are being taken,
he said, to stir up public opinion in
Mexico and the United States to a
point where a general clash between
the two nations would be inevitable.
Several warnings against spreading
alarmist reports have been issued by
admir.iiflration officials already, and
it was said recently that President
Wilson deeply resentful over the
situation, was determined that the
agitation be brought to an end.
Legal steps to stop the spreading
of false news are understood to be
under consideration, but officials have
not decided yet what can be done.
One step suggested was the use of a
law against the publication of re
ports calculated to incite to “arson
and riot.”
It was also understood that the ad
ministration had under consideration
tightening the censorship on Mexican
news and warning army officers along
the border against giving out reports
unless fully verified.
Allies Reject Plan.
Washington, D. C.—All of the en
tente powers, through their embas
sies here, have handed to Secretary
Lansing formal responses rejecting
the proposal made by the state de
partment in its circular memorandum
that they enter into a modus vivendi
and disarm all of their merchant
ships with the understanding that the
United States government would en
deavor to secure from the central
powers a pledge not to attack such
unarmed ships without warning and
without providing for the safety of
the passengers an,d the crew.
Reports Russian Losses.
New York.—Losses in the Russian
army, killed, wounded and missing,
for one year January 1, to December
31, 1915, were 2,542,639, according to
Boris S. Schumacher, a Jewish news
paper correspondent who arrived here
from Petrograd, via Copenhagen on
the steamship United States. Mr.
Schumacher exhibited printed lists of
names which he claimed were official
Russian reports of casualties and
which he said he secretly obtained
while in Petrograd.
Teddy Finds New Bird.
New York.—Col. Theodore Roose
velt on his return from the West In
dies announced the discovery in Trini
dad of what was to him a new varie
ty of bird in which he was much in
terested.
The bird, he said, was about as big
as a barn owl, lives in caves, is noc
turnal in its habits and eats nuts. Its
native name, he added, was the “Gua
charo.”
Three Americans Reported Killed.
Douglas, Ariz. — Three Americans,
two women and one man, were killed
near Gibson's Line ranch on the New
Mexico-Mexico boundary, eight ‘miles
west of Columbus, N. M., presumable
by Mexicans, according to the story
brought here by a party of five Doug
las people, who said they arrived on
the scene shortly after the bodies had
been removed by soldiers.
Uncertainty at Tampico.
Washington, D. C.—First advices
from Tampico, where the situation
has been causing alarm, came to the
state department reporting conditions
as uncertain. The garrison seems in
control of the situation. Some 2,000
Americans, thtf dispatch said, would
pass through there if they left Mexico.
Fined for Drinking Patent Medicine
Fort Dodge, la.—Because “Mike”
MacKey drank too much of a patent
medicine which is said to contain 60
per cent alcohol, he was fined $25 in
police court here.
Sheriff Calls for Militia.
El Paso. Tex.—Evidence of the ser
iousness with which the local author
ities regard the border situation was
supplied in an announcement by
Sheriff Peyton James Edwards tha*
he had sent word to Governor James
E. Ferguson that he believed the
state militia should be sent to the
frontier. Sheriff Edwards said that
he did not wish to be considered an
alarmist, but that developments in
Mexico convinced him that additional
protection was needed for Americans
along the border.
Bird-Woman Will Fly.
Shenandoah. Ia.—A woman aviator
I who has been startling the world with
her daring feats. Miss Katherine Stin
son, has been engaged by the Shenan
doah Fair association to give two day
flights and one night flight August 16
