John Smith was brought up In Justice Hummer's court yesterday for trial on th'o chnrso of having conspired with Frank ICano to get the latter out of thu city so as to avoid a trial for grind larceny. It was supposed that there was a very strong case against Smith , hut it seemed that forsomo reason or other the city did not deslro to prosecute him. It alto turned out that there had never been any Information lllcd against , Him nor niiy warrant Issued for his arrest. If Smith had known enough ho could have made It decidedly warm for the oftlcer who had niado the arrest , but for tunately ho did not and ho therefore retrained from perforating the onlcor's skin. Smith spent two niphts in the city jnll without any complaint being fonnnlly lodged ngalubt him , and at the end of that time ho was discharged without a trial , the prosecuting witness being unwilling to prosecute. Smith was somewhat wruthy over his treatment , and it Is said ho contemplates an action for damages against the city oftleials. Siviinf-ou music company , J3. Broad- wuy. Sunday Gnnio.

The main object of the meeting bin hecn nmiounccd to bo the adoption of the amendment to the constitution which \\us submitted to the hoard .it Its last meeting cbungliiK the tlmo of the annual meeting for the election of officers from January to the third XVCOK following the clfljo of the lissom- hly season. According to expectations , the amendment was brought up for consideration. Someone suggested that In the event of there helug no assembly at some time in the fiuure , there could not ho any annual meeting , and thnt It would ho better to chiuipo the wording of the amendment hy chnnglni ; the tlmo to thetliin' ' Monday In August , m thut wus sure to como around about every to often , wlthoutdcpond- Intf upon the assembly or any other cnutin- Koncy. Some of the members objected , on the ground that any change of that kind would have to ho laid over another ton days , according to the constitutional provision for amendments , so the original amendment was adontcd. No sooner had the amendment been adopted than eomplieationi began to arise. There were twenty-one trustees already , and this would necessarily add seven more , unless these whoso terms do not expire until next January would bo kind enough to resign at oat'o , in order to reduce the hoard to its nornial si/o a thing which they hud no as surance would ho done. And even if the extra trustees did resign , there would have to bo an election of ollicora , In order to livn up to the provisisns of the amendment , and as the ofllcero now elected hold over for several months yet there would bo two sols of oftlccrs , unlo&s one of them could ho legls- Intnit nut rtf nMlrn A itil Thla f.nnt.l tint tir > done without hurting the feelings of the oflleers who would bo ousted , as well as transgressing all parliamentary rules. Some of the members hold that these ob jections had no weicht , Inasmuch us the Inten tion of the board in passim ; the amendment had not Intended that It should take cited until next year. Others , however , wore hon est enough to admit that thu idua that these complications might nrUe had never entered their hoails , nnd that they had fully Intended that the new provision should tuko effect as soon as pnssoil , After over an hour had been spent In dis- ( uV.iIng the affair in all Its bearings , it was decided that the quickest way out of the dlfllculty was tg rcsclnf tji ? motion that hud been carrlcil , adopting tlio fnCI'-H ' ] , ana1 the whole business exactly where it was two wedks ago. This was done and the amend ment was referred hack to the same commit- tea that dished it up in its present unsatisfactory way , and another moot ing will bo held next Monday evening to hear the report of the committee. It will bo nearly tUreo weeks before the amendment can bo finally passed and the ex ecutive committee put to work on the prepa rations for next year.

The Bun of the IQth has boon forwar ded to me , and I road with pleasure thu sugges- lon of n train through the east , with Nebraska exhibits. Suoh n scheme , well ilanned and carried out , would I bollovo beef of Incalculable advantage to the state. I am of the belief that Nebraska is the least tnown of anv state in the country In nropor- .lon to Its marvelous growth nnd its possi bilities , present and future. The cast , as n rule , knows no difference between Kansas and Nebraska. But , Nebraska Is abundantly ablu to demonstrate , if she will , that the con ditions wliiuh exist are bound to make of her .li o greatest and richest agricultural state In : ha country. Connecticut and all Now England have suffered greatly from losses In Kansas , anJ are disposed to condemn western investments leuorally. Nebraska's ' newspapers and her business men should unite as one man in the determination to scatter broadcast through out the east the facts ( tlio facts are good enough ) , regarding Nebraska's climate , soil and location. The enclosed tlguros , which 1 have gathered from the Government. Sta tistical Abstract , finding the c-vorago nnd l > er cent of increase , bringing Nebraska into comparison with other western states , tell a story which has surprised me. I think they fully substantiate what I said nt the commencement , thut Nebraska is the least Known. I le ret that 1 am not iu Nebraska to help , however little , to push the project referred to. E.

Koart lOv.ircssos Vloivs on tlio Nulijcot. O.M ui i , Aug. 24. To the Editor of THE 3rc : I rospjotfiilly ask sp.ico in your col umns to correct a serious misapprehension hat may nrisu from a statement made in our editorial columns under the head of 'liato Reduction" lu your issue of this date. You state that The Stuto Hoard of Transportation cannot escape its duty by any sort of subterfuge. It las already po-tpoued action so louj ; thut the iiesonteroi ) of small urn In will bo largely nurkoted before action Is uiiiioiinuud , It Is iloar to the avoriuio observer llrit the hoard s far miiro anxious for an ovusa not to mo l- fvexlstlii buhi'dules Hi.in to provide lellef. The rates upnii coal , lumber anil buildnj ; niu- crlulcstnouml und of coul ( rum Wyoming mil Colorado , und the rates upon stock and ; ralu cust-houud , are tln > o lu uhlch the pco- > lo are cblelly Inturestod. Tliuy no not iihk .ho bo'ird for u reduction of average charge iur ton upon all flushes of freight. They HIM ) vlllliiii enoush to pay the mosenl eh irjes limn ordinary inin--liiiniliso If the commodity at Ills .ire madu lo.isonublc. You evidently misunderstand the facts. \ppllrd to the facts as they exist today , the above quotation from your editorial is a good argument against rate reduction. It Is very rue that the people of this state do not asker or a-reductlon in the tariff upon merchan dise , and that n reduction of this ibid would bo of no use wnatevor o the fanners or to other classes of iconlo In tills stale. Freight rates constitu- ute so small an item in the priceof groceries , dry Roods , and oven farm wagons nnd implo- nents , that the prices cannot he affected by nny reduction in the freight rates. That this statement Is absolutely correct. Is evidenced jy the -fact that proceries , dry goods nnd farm Implements nru retailed today nt as low irlccs In Nebraska as In central and western owa. You make a demand for reduction In atcs upon farm produce , lumber und coal , evidently supiioslnp ; that upon these articles the rates In Ncbiaska are high The fact Is that these articles are moved In and out of this state at r.ites considerably lower per toner > or mile than the rates paid by Iowa towns. The rate upon corn , Ior example , from the Missouri river to Chicago Is Hi cents per 100 lounds , or lor Is'i miles . ( XJ7B cents per ton icr mile. From Hastings , Neb. , to Chicago , MO miles , the rate is : > : ! cents' ' per 100 pounds , or .UOT'J cents per ton per mile. No reduction thut was proposed by the iigislaturo of lust winter , or that has over > ecu suggested oy the mo'.t ardent advocate or rate mluution , can In any wav alfect the r.ites upon grain from Nebraska points to the imrkets. Thu rates per ton per mlle upon oal nnd lumber mo also less from thu points of production to Nebrnskn points than to ) olnts In Iowa , nnd cannot bo nlfcctnd uy the State Hoard of Transportation , It has been shown ut tlm recent hearing be- 'ore ' thu State Kuard of Transportation In wincoln , that the average rale paid upon all ommgo to and from Nebraska points Is less ban the nverago rate paid on all tonnage to and from Inni oolnts.
