JUDGS SEDGWICK4 AS LAWYER
AND JURIST.
' It is said of Judge Sedgwick, one of
the republican nominees for the su
preme bench, that in his thirty-one
years' practice in Nebraska, exclusive
of his service on the bench, he has
been so successful in prosecuting
cases against corporations that hi3
services have been sought in nearly
every case of this kind that has been
brought In York county.
He believes in compelling all per
sons and corporations to obey the
law, and those more familiar with his
services on the bench unite in saying
that he is entirely free from prejudice
or fear, and that his decisions are not
affected by the personnel, either of the
parties or the attorneys. He is not
afraid to decide a case upon its
merits, and for this reason' he is popu
lar as a judge with the best lawyers in
the state, and all who are familiar
with the work of the courts.
The decision of the Supreme Court,
sustaining the present railway com
mission, was written by Judge Sedg
wick, and his reasoning is so clear and
conclusive that it was accepted at
once by the bar of the state, and the
Interested parties. It is to this deci
sion that Nebraska owes the exist
ence of the railway commission and
that the public is enabled to exer
cise control over common carriers
and all public service corporations
through the commission system.
Case of Polo-Myelitis.
Tecumseh. There is a case of polo
myelitis in this vicinty. Gladys Irvin,
the 9-year-old daughter of Mr. and

board of health, says this is the only
case reported from Southeastern Ne

thing like forty bushels to the acre.

els per acre. The acreage of wheat
sown this fall will somewhat exceed

At the National Corn Show.
Kansas, the habitat of alfalfa and
the "hogs' idea of heaven" will show
the results of some interesting ex
oeriments with alfalfa, the plant whih

they have, but has at once solved tho
problem of soil fertility and mainten

Lyons. Ed. Burdick's 4-year-old
ch'ld got hold of a bottle of strychnine
and swallowed 'a quantity of it. Dr.
Keetel was at once called py phono

bile in just thirty minutes a distance

for the attorney geiral to pass on the
question before making a statement.

for one candidate for judge on an
other ticket.
Without having given the matter
any study the legal department of the

mark was made would- receive the

ticket for the same office would not
receive the vote.
For instance, if a democrat should
make a cross in the democratic circle
at the head of the ballot and then
vote for one of the candidates on the
republican ticket for judge, it is the
belief of the legal department that the
vote would count for the one repub
lican candidate for judge and for all
the candidates on the democratic
ticket except the three judges. Or the
election board might throw out the
ballot entirely, though it would be an
injustice to the candidate after whose
name a cross has been made, but no
more so than to two of the judicial
candidates on the other ticket, for
each person is entitled to vote for
three candidates for judge.
Homesteaders Ask Help.
The Sackett law for the removal of
derelict officials may be brought into
use to remove from office some coun
ty commissioners who have failed to
clean roads along section lines in the
west end of the state.
Governor Shallenberger received a
letter for help from a homesteader out
in the hills near Dalton in the west
end of Nebraska. The writer, Mrs.
L. G. Simer, says lands owners have
fenced in the land along the section
lines and in going a distance of two
miles she had to onen five eatcs. She

necessary for her to take her three
children the eldest of whom is four
j years of age. These she had to leave
,n the biiggy while she gets out and
opens and closes the gates. She is in
constant fear of a runawav, to say
nothing of the fact that she has ruined
several skirts getting in and out of
the vehicle.
When she complained to the land
owners, she wrote, she was told that
if she ever left the gates oren they
would be fastened with wires and she
would be forced to stay in the hills
and never get to town at all.
Homesteaders, she wrote the gover
nor, are trying to develop western Ne
braska and tbey are undergoing all the
hardships of pioneers and she believes
tbey are entitled to tbe help of the
officials to the end that life may be
made as bright as possible.
Others, she said, were in the same
fix as she is and she is writing for
them all, asking for relief from the
authorities. In answer to the letter,
the governor wrote that he would
render all possible help.

The law requiring coTimission mer
chants to register their names with
the secretary of state and give a bond
after paying a license fee of $10 is

hae taken out the licenses and of
these five are grain merchants. Every
one paid his money under protest.

Where Inspiration Sits.
Mrs. Quilluser came tiptoeing softly
into her husband's study, rested a
hand lightly on his shoulder and
peered over at the sheaf of half-written
sheets on his desk.
"What are you working on now,
dearest?" she asked gently.
"On Mary's mittens," he answered
pleasantly, but without looking up.
Mrs. Quilluser studied a moment, as
if planning. "Dearest, Willie needs a
pair of shoes more than Mary does
the mittens. I have already promised
them to the poor boy. Hadn't you bet
ter work on Willie's shoes first, dear?"
"All right, Nellie, all right,'' he re
plied kindly, turning his eyes up into
Nellie's great patient ones.
Then he pushed back "An Ode to
the Dancing Leaves" and cheerfully
began to write a Sunday special on
A New Substitute for Coal." Puck.
