MILEAGE D0N7 60 MEMBERS OF THE PRESS CANNOT USE THE SAME. SD DECIOES SUPREME COURT Railroads Cannot Exchange Advertis ing for Transportation Other Matters at the State Capital. It has been held Illegal by the su preme court for a ralroad to issue mileage to newspapers in exchange for advertising. The court gave this decision in the case where the at torney general brought an original action to restrain the Union Pacific railroad from carrying out certain contracts it had with newspapers to exchange advertising space for mileare. The court had heretofore is sued a temporary injunction and this has been made permanent. The opinion was written by Judge Letton ::nd was concurred in by the court except Judge Rose, who did not sit. Judge Letton In his syllabus says the railway commission act, anti-pass and l-cent fare acts must be con strued together. He said: "Under the law, in this state a ralroad company or other common carrier may not ex change transportation for services or property by way of barter, uniformity of charge being required. To procure uniformity there must be a standard measurement. The only standard measure possible in order to insure absolute uniformity in the charge is money. "A contract which provides for transportation to be issued in ex change for newspaper advertising or for services the value of which is in determinate and which permits the amount to be paid for such services to be fixed by agreement of the parties, leaves the rate charged for the transportation a variable quantity. "A contract by a railroad company to furnish to the proprietors of a newspaper, as requested, transporta tion at the statutory rate under cer tain limitations, restrictions not re quired in ordinary tickets in payment for advertising to be furnshed at agreed rates, which agreed rates are not specified In the contract, but which are to be selected by the parties themselves, by another agree ment, is in violation of section 14 of the Railway Commission act. Section 30CC2. amended statue 1901. which prohibits common carriers from charging one person a greater or less compensation than another, and which prohibits charging "other than the rate fixed and established." "If the proprietor of another news paper may be selected by defendant to receive transportation In return for such services while the proprietor of another cannot avail himself at his option of the privilege of such con tract, then, equality and uniformity of charge do not exist. "Such a contract contravenes the intent and purpose of the statutes, which prohibits unjust discrimination and which seek to preserve to every Individual an equal right to the trans portation service of every common carrier within the state upon equal , terms with every other individual." Damages Against a Newspaper. The case of Thomas Dennison ngainst the Daily News Publishing company of Omaha for libelous publi cation, in which the district court found for the plaintiff, has been affirmed by the supreme court.

State Superintendent Bishop has certified to State Auditor Barton the amount of the semi-annual school ap portionment and the amount due each county In the Htate. The county of Garden is not included in the list, be cause the state superintendent has no official knowledge of the school census in that county. So the amount due the school districts in the new county has been accredited to Deuel county and when the school census is taken for Garden, the amount due will be paid it by Deuel county. No Power to Fine. Because the police judge of Lincoln had no authority to fine Gus A. Jugenheimer $200 for violating a rule of the Lincoln Excise board the supreme court has dismissed the petition in error. The district court had affirmed the judgment of the police judge and none of the lawyers called atention of the supreme court to the fact that the police court had no jurisdiction and that the affir mance by the district court was a nullity, but an examination of the re cord disclosed that condition. STORING THE WATER. Werk Done at the North Platte Sub Station. The Nebraska Experiment Station Aas issued Bullet! No. 114, on Stor ing Moisture In the Soil. This bulle tin is a report of work done at the Experimental Substation located at North Platte. This bulletin takes up the necessity of storing water in the soil during periods of wet weather to be used during periods of drouth. A short de scription is given of the type of soil found on the Substation farm, the manner of sampling, and the depth of sampling. Some sample were taken to a depth of 15 feet in order to reach a point below which the crops could not obtain water. A map is given showing the divi sion of the farm into fields and also one showing the soil areas of the state. A brief discussion of the move ments cf the water found in the soil is also given. The charts show that water is con served in the soil through cultivation and that It is necessary to keep the surface of the soil loose and in a re ceptive condition to get the water into the soil. Almost as much water is gotten into the soil during the early part of the season where a cul tivated crop is being grown as is con nerved by summer tillage. This is due to the fact that the surface soil is kept loose enough to-.hold the water that falls" until it can get down into the soil, and the loose soil on the surface prevents evaporation; it is also due to the fact that comparative ly few plants are being grown in a cultivated field and these do not draw- very heavily on the water supply dur ing the early part of their growth. In a small grain field more plants are grown, with the result that the water Is used more rapidly and less water is gotten into the soil. In fields growing alfalfa or bromo grass where the number of growing plants are large and the surface of the soil Is smooth and hard. It Is seldom that enough water gets Into the soil to moisten the soil below two or three feet. By the method of summer till ing practiced, from 40 to 50 per cent of the season's rainfall has been stored for the use of the subsequent crop. On this type of soil the water is available for the crop. Several charts and tables are given in the bulletin, to show the amount of precipitation at North Platte. One table given shows the daily precipita tion during the period that this work was being done. Charts showing the annual precipitation and the average precipitation by raonth3 are also given. Tis bulletin may be had free of j cost by residents of Nebraska upon application to the Nebraska Agri cultural Experiment Station. Lincoln, I Neb. j No Reduced Rates.

The new bank will have a paid up capital stock of $10, 000. The Incorporators are J. B. Mc Grew, C. H. Waldo and J. V. Kirk bride. Consolidation Approved. State Auditor Barton has approved the plan of consolidation of the High land Nobles of Waterloo, la., and the American Order of Protection of Lin coln. Before the consolidation may be effected it Is necessary that two thirds of the membership in both lodges vote in the affirmative. The first protest has come from Cheyenne, Wyo., where a member of the latter company entered a protest and insist ed that if the order would change its headquarters to Cheyenne there would be little trouble about enlarg ing its membership. Petition Being Circulated. Petitions are being circulated among buttermakers and dairymen In Nebraska protesting against the passage of the proposed federal law to lay a tax of two cents on colored and uncolored oleomargarine. At present uncolored oleomargarine, which is easily detected and which does not compete seriously with the butter trade, pays a tax of a quarter of one cent per pound. Colored oleo margarine, which is readily mistaken for butter, if it3 appearance alone is judged, pays an almost prohibitive tax of ten cents a pound. School Money Distribution. W. D. Redmon, statistician in the office of the state superintendent, will be able in a day or two to certify to the auditor the amount of money each county in the state is entitled under the semi-annual distribution ot the temporary school fund. The amount to be apportioned this May is $324,266.89. This will be 87 cents for each pupil, there being 371,452 children of school age in the state at this time. Douglas county will re ceive of the fund 134,484.93. A year ago the amount was 1293.182.49. Hearing a Complaint.

DESIGNED TO TEMPT INVALID Concoctions loth Appetizing and Healthful of Especial Service In the Sick Room. Chicken Broth. Skin and cut tip aa old fowl, which makes more nutritious broth than a young chicken. Break the bones with a mallet Corer well with cold water and boil slowly for three hours. Salt to taste. A little rice or tapioca my be boiled with it. If desired. Arrowroot Mix a teaspoonful of arrowroot with four of cold milk. Stir it slowly into half a pint of boiling milk, and let it simmer for five min utes. It must be stirred all the time to prevent lumps, and keep it from burning. Add half a teaspoonful of sugar, a pinch of salt, and one of cin namon if desired. Cornstarch or rice flour gruel is made in the same way. Jellied Chicken. Cut up a fowl In Joints, and put in a saucepan with enough water to cover it, a teaspoon ful of salt and a little pepper; let it stew till the meat will leave the bones. Remove the bones from the meat, ar ranging the meat nicely in a mold. Season the liquid with a little more salt and pepper, if necessary, and dis solve in it a quarter of an ounce of gelatine. Pour over the chicken in the mold. Beef Jelly. To one pound lean beef add half a pint of water and the knuckle end of a leg of mutton. Simmer gently in a stewpan for two hours. No meat is required on the knuckle of mutton, as it is only used to cause the liquid to jelly. Strain, through a jelly bag. This will keep in a cool place for four or five days. Queer Feathers. If the Audubon society attempted to find the birds that are responsible for some of the unique feathers observed on the hats this season, they would seek in vain. One of these odd creations of the milliner's work room when subjected to close observation proved to be a quill common or barnyard variety on which bad been glued the long hairs of monkey fur. There is little wonder that these or nate trinkets command such a high price when one thinks for a moment of the infinite patience and time re quired to make them, for each must be carefully pasted by hand. Cushion Designs. The present-day cushion design Is usually conventional and takes on the upright lines of long stems or trellises rather than a circular Dattern. Certain There, for Instance, are the Tudor rose, the poppy, the Japanese iris and the tulip, all of which work up well with long stems and straggling leaves. For these cushions the ilat Japanese stitch is considered more effective than padded work, and the floss chosen is usually coarse stuff that fills in speed ily, producing the best effect in the least time. Use of Foulards. That this is to be a season of foulards most women have heard, but feW kU0W that. this soft enduring ma- . ls being made up nto facjnK f0I ciotn coats and their linings. The satin spotted and striped de signs are selected rather than floral motifs. Be sure to get a waterproof quality and -ou will have untold satis- fni'tinn In the new linines. Attractive is a dark blue serge faced with blue and white or black and white striped foulard, a dark green herringbone with green and white coin dots, and a mouse colored faced cloth with brown foulard dotted with white. To Brighten a Carpet. Potato water is excellent for bright ening up shabby or faded carpets. First of all. the carpet should be well beaten and brushed. Then take half a dozen good-sized potatoes and scrape them as finely as possible into a bucket of warm water. Strain, wring a cloth out of the potato water, and with it give the carpet a good rub all over, rinsing the cloth frequently. Stewed Brown Onions. Peel four Spanish onions and fry them a light brown color in two table spoonfuls of hot browned butter. Re move them from the pan and add one teaspoonful of flour; brown this, then add one cupful of brown stock and seasoning of salt and pepper; boil up. put back the onions and stew gently lor one hour. Serve hot with the gravy strained over. - . . , D' , h J?,,y w w . Cut Into inch lengths one bunch of rhubarb, nlace in a bakins nan.

When cold unmold on a plate and garnish with whipped cream. Peas With Bacon. Four slices of bacon cut in small pieces and one small onion cut fine. Cook together until a light brown. Add half a peck of green peas, salt and pepper to taste, and just enough warm water to cover peas; cook until tender and serve. Canned peas can be prepared in the same way. For the Cook. Eggs which are to be broken Into water should not be broken into boil ing water, as the motion destroys their shape; but let the water be as hot as possible without boiling, and then let them stand several minutes on the back of the stove. Simple Salad. Boil radishes in salted water until tender; then slice. When cold add to half the amount of boiled potatoes cut into thin slices a shredded green pep- per, one teaspoonful of minced green parsley, and mix with boiled salad sauce. Cleaning With Bran. Curtains, ottomans and sofas cov ered with worsted can be cleaned with whcat bran- rub,bed ,on ?'itQ "an,ntL It Is surprising how fresh and bright this process of cleaning will render such articles if done in the proper manner. AWFUL. p-J ' Maisle Was he on his knees when he proposed? Daisy No; hut he went down the steps that way when papa caught him. Old Men in Responsibility. The American business system, wnlch gives mere boys responsible po sitions before they have acquired prac tical experience, is to an Englishman quite unaccountable. He wonders whether it does not cause reckless trading and wild speculation. In other countries they prefer to keep elderly rfien in responsible positions because hey can he depended upon. Messrs.
