In the same decision It holds that the sale of i homestead under an ordinary ex mention during the temporary absence sf the owner Is void. The decision of tlio lower court is reversed. Allen brought the suit to quiet title to him self and lost out in the lower court , the defendant being the county of Holt. According to n press dispatch Wm. V. Allen , former United States sen- nTor , who Is just now In lown defend- ng an Iowa editor charged with mur der , said that although he Is a delegate to the populist national convention , 10 will not attend that meeting , for the reason that he could not consist ently do so when he expects to sup port W. J. Bryan. Mr. Allen declared that Bryan and Taft will undoubtedly lie the candidates , and that he be lieved the latter would be stronger than Roosevelt. The police force selected by the mayor In office next May , whether the mayor's name be Sturgeon or Durland , will start in under a new salary ordi nance. The city council has passed a new ordinance fixing the chief's sal ary at $05 a month , the policemen's salaries at $50 a month and providing that all fees collected save those ac credited to the police judge , should be paid into the city treasury. After the police trouble last fall the council passed a salary and anti-fee ordinance but it was never put into effect. It was found that 'the salaries had been made higher than the city charter permitted. Accordingly the police still draw fees and work under the old sal ary ordinance. A license fee of $500 exacted from wholesale liquor house's ' having vaults In Norfolk , the money to go Into the school fund , Is one of the possibilities of license granting next May. The past year there has been considerable confusion in this direction in Norfolk. The Guild Brewing company took out a license nt the beginning of the mu nicipal year , paying $750 to City Treasurer Haase. No other wholesale licenses were collected. Charlie Rice , however , is going to engage in the exclusive wholesale liquor business after next month and has sounded the city council with a view of having a uniform license fee of ? 500 exacted from all firms doing wholesale liquor business In Norfolk. The license fee which goes to the school fund Is $500 , the extra ? 250 being assessed against the local retail saloons as an occupa tion tax. Good thing to move If you live in the wrong place good thing to watch the ads. for a time before deciding on the new place , however. Autolst Fined. Spencer Advocate : .Toslah Coombs accompanied Will Woods to Naper Tuesday to act as his attorney In the case wherein Will was sued for not stopping his auto when signaled to do so. The man's dog got tangled up under the car and took Will's attention so ho did not see their signal If they made one. We believe Will will win the case ; we hope so , any way. Those fellows up there seem to be trying to act a little smart. Joslah has blood in his eye and if he once gets them on this hip , he will flatten them out like a pancake , Later They stuck him for $15. Hard to fight in enemy's camp. BAIL TO THE EXTENT OF $10,000 FURNISHED. LIKELY OUT OF JAIL SUNDAY It Is Believed That the Clerk of the Supreme Court Will Approve the Bond Today and That Boche Will Come Home Sunday Night. The $10,000 ball required by the su- lireme court for the release of Her man Boche from custody pending the review of the case by that court , has been secured and It Is probable that lloche will return to hlH farm near Norfolk Sunday night. He Is now In | all nt Madison. Following are the signers of the bond : August Klentz , Carl Relche , Mrs. Carl Sorg and Herman Boche. The three slgner aside from Bocho himself Justify to the extent of $25- 000. Boche Justifies at $14,000. This gives about $40,000 behind the bond. The bond was approved by the clerk of the district court , W. H. Fields , at Madison yesterday and then went to Lincoln where It was said the clerk of the supreme court would undoubtedly approve the bond today. It will probably be six months bo- tore the supreme court reviews the case. During that half year Boche will be at liberty. In case the supreme court so orders , the case may be returned for new trial. Otherwise Bocbe will go to the penitentiary to begin bis ten-year sen tence on the charge of manslaughter for killing Frank Jnrmer May 1 , l'J07. ' South Dakota News.

CONGRESSMAN KINKAID WORK ING FOR AMENDMENTS. FAVORABLE REPORT IN HOUSE One Gives Credit for Improvements on Original Entry , Another Applies to Reserves Exemptions From Paying Appraised Value. Washington , March 215. Saturday Congressman Klnkald secured a favor able report from the committee on public lands on two sections of his bill to amend the Nebraska one-section somestead act , known as the "Kinkaitl law. " The effect of one section of the bill Is to entitle entrymen to credit for improvements upon the old home stead yet owned and occupied , made subsequent to the date of new entry as compliance with the Improvement requirements of the new entry. Until a year or two ago the department had held as this amendment expressly pro vldes , but by a later ruling credits for such Improvements have been dlsal lowed , yet under the old ruling him dreds of ontrymen , In accordance therewith , made their improvements on their old entry , hence the eqult > of the amendment , which will affon relief to many entrymon. The other section exempts from pay ment of their appraised value lands of the old Fort Sheridan military res ervatlon , located in Sheridan county and the old Fort McPherson reserva tlon. situated In Lincoln county. Botl of these sections apply to existing tin perfected as well as to new entries- The section of the bill providing for reducing the value of Improvement re qulrements from $1.25 to10 cents per acre , was defeated by a small major tty , but the Sixth district congress man expects to resume his efforts for such an amendment at the next ses slon , and advises that entrymen of Ilm Ited means should not grow uncasj about being able to "pass muster , " as lip expects to secure a liberal admin isitratlon of the improvement clause and hopes to reduce the amount to10 cents per acre. The exemption of these mllltarj lands from appraised value will save to entrymen who are just making a start the payment of many thousands of dollars for lands which they ma > Invest In live stock which tend to mul tlply their wealth 'and Increase their prosperity to the benefit of the public as well as themselves.

WORK UPON OWN EMPLOYES Employes Will be Enlisted In the Work and Business Interests Arc to be Sought Will Keep Out of Poli tics In Future. Railroads arc seeking to change the trend of public opinion , SIIJK ( he Lin coln Journal. They will not enter po litical contests as railroads , it is said , but they will seek In many ways to turn the tide of public sentiment , which is now strongly against them. They will begin by working upon their own employes , who they declare have been against them for several years. They will endeavor to point out to the employes that the Interests of the railroads are the Interests of the men who work for them. Going beyond the employes they will point out to business men anil farmers that what affects the railroads affects gen ern ! business ; that where the railroads are put up against conditions that re tard development and hold back ex pansion of transportation business tlie effect Is to retard business in every line. Just what means are to be employed to reach all the people in the effort to turn the tide of public sentiment Is not made plain , but with the employes the labor unions are to be worked with. It Is claimed that in most instances em ployes will not be difficult to reach. It Is pointed out that a few years ago almost every Burlington employe in the state was ready to do what he could in a political way for the man agement. The men were loyal in every sense to the Institution that gave them employment. Then the tide of prosperity set In , work became more plentiful , the unions on the Bur lington became stronger , the senti ment against corporations dominated politics was growing , and the men left the road to fight its own battles. Now , it is claimed , that the whole sale discharge of railroad men because cause of a lack of business , and the changing conditions from big traffic to a more moderate volume , has had its effect on the men and they are ready to help the road. A meeting of union railroad men hap been called for Lincoln and In thif meeting men from all the unions have been Invited. It has been said that "self-preservation" is the subject to be discussed and pome have takei this to mean that help for the rail roads in a political way may be con sidered. The railroad vote in the state is a big one , and the greater part of It gets to the poll in everj election where the men are interested For the railroads It Is said tha never again will they seek to domi nnte political affairs as they have In the past. What they desire now Is a let-up on what they call pernicious legislation. The managers of the roads are admitting that some of the laws passed recently have helped the roads , but they declare at this time , with business unsteady , that further attempts at regulation should be post poned. THE FREMONT MEETING. Northwestern Agents Discuss Econ omy at Fremont.

Reynolds of Norfolk was In attendance and made some Interesting remarks , whllo Trainmaster Loppla and Chief Dis patcher William Golden of Fremont also gave explanations of what would prove beneficial in the operating de partments in the future. This Is the first mooting of this kind that has been held west of the Missouri river in two years , and by reason of being so will no doubt prove beneficial , as the Ideas of many , oven though all not carried out , are better than the one man's opinion , and the meeting was called for a gen eral expression of conditions as the different agents in attendance saw them. One of the principal topics dis cussed was the nine-hour limit as working time for telegraph operators , and all Its phases was touched on pro and con. Notice.
