IHE HAL LAW
SETS ASIDE THE STATE REGULATIONS.
GOSSIP FROM STATE CAPITAL
Iteme of Interest Gathered from Re
liable Sources and Presented In
Condensed Form to Our
Readers.
There appears to bo some mlsunder
standing in regard to when tho sea
son for shooting ducks and other
water fowl closes. The state law It
supposed to be set asldo by tho na
tlonnl regulations. Chid Game War
den Rutenbnch will endeavor to en
force the national regulations anc
drop the state law. Tho state law per
mlts the shooting of water fowl dur
ing the winter and in tho Bprlng. The
national regulations provides that the
season for killing water fowl shall be
closed from Decombor 16 until the
first of the following September. From
the 16th of December until September
1 it will be unlawful undor tbe
national regulations, to kill water
fowl. As there are no duckB or
geese In Nebraska during tho winter,
except in tho extremo northorn
part of the state, the national regula
tion will not deprive Nebraska sports
men of any shooting except in the
early spring. The stato law provided
that tho season should begin Septem
ber 1 and close April 5. Under the
government regulations it will open
September 1 and close December 16
which means a period of three and
one-hnlf months of fall shooting. The
next open season will bo on fish. This,
opens April 1 and cndB November 15,
with the exception of tho open season
for trout not less than eight Inches
long, which begins April 1 and ends
October 1. The open season for bass
not less thnn eight inches long begins
April 1 and ends November 15.
Are Within Their Rights.
County boards act within tholr dis
cretion when they agrco not to call a
special election for voting bonds for
a county telephone system under the
provisions of the Fuller bill, In tbe
opinion of Judge Cornish of tho dis
trict court. The judgment was handed
down by him In the application or
1-ancaster county public ownership
leaders for a writ of mandamus com
pelling the county boards to call tho
election which they long ago pe-
tioned for under the county owner
ship bill. According to tho court's
finding the county board has tho right
to either call or refuso to call tho
special election. Tho question de
cided means that unless the supremo
court remands tho caso after revers
ing the finding, the proposition will
have to go over until next fall's gen
eral election.

Typhoid among attendants and in

ed the milk supply as the source of
the disease and an analysis of the pro.
duct proved tho theory true. iHe
learned thnt the disease germs had.
developed from the manner In which,
tho milk had been handled, Instead
of diseased cows, and tbe sterilizing of
all milk used from the slxty-threo
head now milked, together with the
vaccination put, a stop to its further
spread.
