Kealing of Indiana and others identi

the "allies" created dissension. Some
of the other spokesmen for the "al
lies" declared the announcement to be
ill advised and they busied them
selves Sunday to counteract its ef
fect. After numerous conferences the fol
lowing, which was headed. "Statement
from the allies," was issued:
"Upon the authority of the repres
entatives of all presidential candidates
other than Secretary of War Taft it
was announced today that they would
continue to present their side of the
contested delegate cases to the nation
al committee. The decision of the na
tional committee will not be taken as
final by the candidates known as the
'allies,' but an appeal will be taken in
cases where it is believed injustice
has been done, first to the committee
on credentials and later to the conven
tion itself.
"The determination of the repres
entatives of the 'allies' to continue the
presentation of the contests to the na
tional committee is not to be taken as
an indication that they approve of the
manner in which these contests have
been decided. But in order to be in
the position to present all of the cases
in proper form to the committee, on
credentials it is deemed advisable to
comply with the form of procedure
laid down by the national committee.
"It is the firm determination of the
representatives of the 'allies' to first
give the national committee an op
portunity to consider all the contests
on their merits."

THE STATE CAPITAL
MATTERS OF INTEREST TO ALL
CITIZENS.
THE CONVICT UBQR CONTRACT
Broom Company to Continue as Now
Until June Seventeen, at Fifty
Cents Per Convict
Labor Contract With Convicts.
The State Board of Public Lands
and Buildings decided to permit the
Lee Broom and Duster company to use
convict labor until June 17 at 50 cents
a convict per day. After that date the
labor is to.be paid for at a rate of 75
cents a day for each convict This
notice was served on C. R. Lee, man
ager of the company, so that he wou;d
know he is expected to vacate the
penitentiary by June 17 unless he
agrees to accept the convicts at the
higher rate of pay. The action of the
board was reported to Governor Shel
don, who approved' it.
The Lee company objected strenu
ously to paying a higher rate for the
convicts and Mr. Lee said he would re
commend to -the next legislature that
the state install some kind of manufac
turing plant and use the convicts it
self. "This," he said, "will show the
people that little money is made out
of convict labor. The state will never
be satisfied, however, until it has tried
the experiment of using the convicts
and the quicker this is tried, the bet
ter I will be satisfied."
While he said he had several offers
from other prisons to use their con
victs, Mr. Lee said if he finally con
clued to quit the penitentiary here he
hoped to quit prison labor entirely.
Report on Nebraska Banks.
Te annual report of Secretary Rcyse
of the State Banking board, now in
the hands of the printers, will shortly
be issued to the public. Notwithstand
ing the recent panic the report shows
the state banks to be in good sound
condition and only one failure during
the entire year, the Citizen's bank of
Firth. This failure was due to heavy
speculation on the board of trade by
the cashier. During the year there
were examined 689 banks, and building
and loan associations for which fees
were collected to the amount of $12,
440; forty-seven banks were chartered,
for which fees were collected to the
amount of $1,175. Mr. Royse condemns j
the ownership of a chain of banks as
follows:
"There is one practice that exists
to some ,extent in this state which, in
my opinion, sooner or later will have
to be remedied or serious trouble will
follow I refer to a chain of small
banks owned, operated and controlled
by the same management, or used as
feeders for some larger bank. This is
a practice that will require more than
ordinary skill to avoid disaster sooner
or later. I am firm in the conviction
that some legislation is necessary to
enable the State Banking Board to
meet this practice, when in their
opinion the interest of the depositors
demands it."
River Too Quick for Courts.
The supreme court has admi.ted its
jurisdiction cannot keep up with the
changes in the Big Muddy and there
fore John Rober, who sought to have
title to land on its banks quieted in
him. will have to go to the Iowa
courts, for the last reports were to
the effect that the farm was now ;
camping on that side of the river. The
land was settled back in 1S55. when
the pioner thought he was getting lo
cated in Washington county, Nebras
ka, and patent was sued for it in
1860. During the civil war the river
got to flopping about and finally set
tled down on top of the farm. Ac
cretions attached to the astern bank
and the farmer waked up cue morning
over in Iowa. In 1873 the river took
a sudden notion to go over into Iowa
itself, and it cut a new channel. leav
ing the farm in question high and
dry, between the river on the east and
the old channel on the west. The
court holds that in cases of that kind,
where the changes in the river are
sudden and not gradual, the boundary
of the state remains in the old chan
nel and does not follow the new river
as in the case of a gradual change.
Street Railway Sale Void.
The United States court of appeals
at St. Paul, Minn., has set aside the
sale of the old Home Street Railway
company to the new Citizens' com
pany of Lincoln. The effect of the de
cision is to deprive the Citizens' com
pany of the franchises permitting use
of the streets of the city. A defect in
the confirmation of the sale of the old
company is the basis for the ruling.
The Citizens' company claims that this
merely sets aside the sale, but that
under a decision of the supreme court
of Nebraska it cannot be driven from
the streets.
Bequest Goes to Widows.
By reason of a decision of the su
preme court handed down the widows
and servants of fishermen in the king
dom of Norway will be permitted to
participate in the division of a trust
fund left to them by Nils O. Nilson of
Boone county, who died some time
ago. Nilson's only relatives were
brothers and sisters. He left to two
churches in Norway $6,000 and $5,000
and two-thirds of the remainder of his
estate to be kept in trust for the ben
efit of the widows of fishermen and
servant girls of his old home town.
Boys Escape from School.
From the accounts filed with the
state it is evident boys sent to the In
dustrial school at Kearney don't like
the place. For the last four months
the expense of returning escaped boys
has been unusually large. For Febru
ary it cost the state $32.67, by reason
of the escape of inmates of the school:
S81.51 for March: $6.94 for April, and
j $43.05 for May. Whether the large
number of escapes is due to a microbe
at work, or carelessness on the part
of officers of the school or just hap
pened, the account does not state.

Weuld-Be Contributor "Up Against"
the Misanthropic Editor.
The editor looked up as the caller
came forward, says the" Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
"Sir," said" ther latter, "you ob
jected to the meter of the spring
poem I submitted to you the other
day. Because of this I have for the
present dropped poetry and turned
my attention to the art of the essay
1st Here, sir. is a paper on 'Woman
and Her Defects, which I trust you
will find to your liking."
The editor stared hard at the title
of the essay.
"'Woman and Her Defects." hs
repeated. "Are you a married man,
sir?"
"No," replied the caller. "I am not
married."
The editor laughed harshly.
"You should choose subjects." he
said, "with which you have had an
opportunity to become familiar."
And he handed back the essay on
"Woman and Her Defects.
Using the Telephone.
It was the first time she had ever
used a telephone and the drug clerk
detected the fact by the nervous way
in which she held the receiver.
"Dear me." she exclaimed, timidly,
"why are all those sievelike holes in
the mouthpiece?"
"They are there for a purpose," re
plied the drug clerk, solemnly.
"What purpose?"
"Why, so you can strain your voice."
And she was so embarrassed sho
forgot the number she was to call up.
A Matter of Time.
It was the day of the ball game, and
Willie, the office-boy, approached the
head of the firm, and stammered: "If
y-you p-p-pl-please, sir "
"Come, hurry up!" said his employ
er. "If you have anything to say, say
it Don't take half a day."
"But that's just what I was going
to ask you if I could take." said Wil
lie. Harper's Weekly.
The Modern Nomad.
"Did you ask that man why he paid
rent instead of owning his own home?'
asked the real estate agent.
"Yes," answered the other. "He said
he didn't. He kept moving."
