Attorney General Does Nothing to Recover
from Lincoln Cooperage Company ,
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS DUE THE STATE

AiMlon to Collect.
LINCOLN , Neb. , Aug. 20. ( Special. )
Attorney General Smyth hna not yet car
ried out the Instructions of the State Prison
Board relative to instituting proceedings
In court for the recovery of about $5,000
duo the eta to from M. U , Welch and th < j
Lincoln Cooperage company for convict
labor. Deputy Oldham has been at Lexing
ton for aevoral daya attending the congrco-
slon.il and district conventions at that place
nnd Mr , Smyth has so far shown no dispo
sition to push the claim to a settlement.
The amount duo the elate Is Increasing
rapidly , as the cooperage company abso
lutely refuses to pay anything at all for
prison labor until Its set-off claim for $2,400
IB allowed. Ex-Warden Lcldlgh made sev
eral unsuccessful attempts to secure a set
tlement through the Prison Board , hut that
organization of state officials did not give
the matter any serious consideration until
about the time his successor took charge of
the penitentiary. The attorney general
\\aa then recommended to commence suit ,
the amount due nt the tlmo belne $4.000
nnd ibo set-off claim $400. A week later
another meeting of the board was held to
give Mr. Welch an opportunity to explain
why ho hod not imld for the prison labor.
Ho then claimed n set-off of $2,100 , Just
$2,000 more than his claim of a week pre
vious. 'Members ' of the Prison Board have
nothing to say of the case other than that
the attorney general has been Instructed
to take the necessary legal steps to recover
the amount due. The dockets of the dis
trict court for the September term closed
yesterday nnd trial of the case can not be
hold before the winter term. State officials
have no explanation to offer as to why pro
ceedings have not been commenced.
Wan In Writ tit Mniidiimiift.
Allen 1' . Ferguson , treasurer for the
Sprague school district , this county , has ap
plied to the district court for n peremptory
writ of mandamus to compel William Krull ,
n district director , and William I'icpho ,
moderator , to sign a lease for a building
which the directors propose to rent for
school purposes. This application Is a novel
one In that It seeks to compel a director to
consent and approve a certain proposition
which he emphatically opposes. The trouble
arises over the location of the building , the
applicant for tbo writ holding that the buildIng -
Ing In question has the most advantageous
location , while Krull favors leasing a build-
Jug In another portion of the district.
The Lincoln Traction company of this city ,
through Us vlco president , William Belcher
of Now London , Conn. , has made another
proposition to Mayor Wlnnett , looking to
ward a settlement of the city's claim for
$11,000 , duo from the company as paving
and grading taxes. A largo portion of this
amount , for which Judgment has been ren
dered In the district court , represents Inter
est nnd fines Imposed for the non-payment
of paving nnd grading taxes assessed against
various companies which were later merged
Into the Lincoln Street Hallway company.
This company was succeeded by the Lincoln
Traction company about two years ago and
elncc then numerous nttcmpta to compromise
have -been made , the last being an offer by
Prealdont Seudder to pay the city $38,000
and have the suit dismissed by the euprerao
court , to which It has been appealed by the
defendants.
The proposition of Vice President Belcher
13 to pay the city $65,000 as a full settlement
of the claim , ihcso figures representing
nearly tbo amount of the claim , less the In
terest and penalty. By accepting this propo
sition the city will save considerable ex
pense and It Is not thought likely that It
will bo rejected by the council. It will bo
brought to Its attention tomorrow night.
The otreot railway company acknowledges
Its liability for a portion of the claim , but
disputes Its liability for taxes assessed
against a lot of defunct railway corporations
and from which It has received no benefit.
The penalty Imposed for non-payment la al
so disputed by the Traction company.
This case Is a complicated ouo and hat
been dragging along In the courts for sev
eral years , making It necessary for the city
to employ additional legal talent to assist
the regular city attorney. The case was
first tried by N. C. Abbott whllo ho was
city attorney several years ago. Because of
his understanding of the case ho was cm-
ployed by the council last week to assist
City Attorney Webster In pleading the case
In the supreme court , the consideration be
ing $1,000.

SECRETARY ROOT'S ' WAR MAP
I'oMtloti of American Troop * Marked

C'oniiiiur the 1'Mllplno * .
WASHINGTON , Aug. 20. The map of the
Philippines and especially of that portion of
the Island of Luzon north and south ot
Manila , which has 'been ' prepared for tlio
use ot Secretary Root , may assume a moro
important part in the coming campaign than
has been clven It heretofore. Secretory
Root has not only ascertained v > hcro the
United States troops are located nnd has
them nicely marked off on the map , but
ho has also taken Into consideration such
Information ns can bo obtained relative to
tha DODUlatlon of the adjacent country , the
kind cf people and their disposition toward
the United States. The secretary has also
been studying the lines of transportation
nnd learning what ho can of the geography
otthe country.
It h believed that more than one army
can operate to advantage In the Philippines
and the suggestion has been mode by some
army officers that an army should start from
different points and operate In such a man
ner as to distract and destroy the Filipino
forces. At present the United States forces
do not occupy the line ot railway halt way
to Llngayon , on the gulf ot the same name.
It has been suggested that If ono force
were to start from Llngaycn and niovo
south at the same tlmo that another were
moving north there would bo a very great
probability of soon securing the entire rail
way for the use of the army and the Insur
gents would bo separated into divisions east
and west by the railroad , as they nro now
divided Into northern and southern bands.
Between Ansclcs nnd Llngayen Is Tarlac , a
town of considerable size and situated In
a province where the natives nro said to
bo not unfriendly to the United States. If
this province could be occupied It might ho
of great advantage to the Government.
Whllo these are merely suggestions. It
may bo that when the army In the Philip
pines consists of 60,000 men. Instead of
about 20.000 or 25,000 , It will be possible to
have four or more armies operating Instead
of two. ns during the last campaign.
The locations of troops , as marked by pins
on the map prepared for Secretary Root ,
show the places occupied as follows : North
of Manila , under General MacArthur A
point above Angeles ( General Wheaton ) ,

GERMAN AGRARIAN MOVEMENT
It IN Vrry Strong nnd In TnrnlnR Its
Attention to Iiitcrcntn of ARrlcuI-
turnl Clnxnrn In Germany.
WASHINGTON , Aug. 20. Baron von Her
man , agricultural expert of the German em
bassy , Is Just back from a two months' visit
to Germany , during which period ho had
opportunity to observe the progress of the
meat Inspection bill In the relchstag and to
note the development of the agrarian move
ment which Is having such a marked Influ
ence on German affairs , Including the ques
tion of exporting German beet sugar to the
United States. Baron von Herman talked
qulto freely on these non-political questions
to a representative of the Associated Press.
When asked as to the status of the meat In-
epcctlon ho said :
The bill was brought for the Reichstag
last spring , but a strong opposition developed -
opod among the agrarian members on the
ground that the government measures were
too friendly to the United States. And you
wlfl remember that about that tlmo a provision -
vision was placed In the agricultural ap
propriation bill passed in this country giv
ing the secretary of agriculture authority ,
to exclude such Imports as he considered
injurious to health. This provision was di
rected against certain German products ,
ouch ps toys , which it was said might be
Injurious to health because of the paint on
them. At all events this provision caused
a bed fooling In Germany and made it more
difficult for the government to secure tbo
meat Inspection bill. H was referred by the
relchstag to a committee which bad full
power to determine what course was to be
followed. The committee reported adversely
and that was equivalent to n refusal by the
Relchstag to take any action. H may be
brought forward again , as there really ought
to bo some modification of the present law.
But It Is too early to say what the future
plans will bo , as the Reichstag Is adjourned
until November nnd everything Is nt a
standstill through the summer. It is prob
able , however , that the government will
consult with tbo leaders and see if some
understanding can bo reached oa the meas
ure.
Concerning the agrarian movement , Baron
von Herman said :
It la very strong and Is turning Its at
tention to the Interests of the agricultural
classes of Germany. The sugar question is
essentially nn agrarian one. Our sugar In
terests are seriously Injured by the tax and
countervailing duties In the American
tariff law , and tbo agrarians hold that this
not only prejudices their Industry , but that
It Is a discrimination against them. They
feel It most because it touches their pockets -
ets and tbo rceuFts of their labor. They
contend that the question should bo dealt
'
with on b'road grounds. In the final analy
sis it comes down to this slmpfe question :
"Shall hero bo a development of the cane
Industry of uncivilized , semi-barbarous
countries , or shall there bo a continued UBO
of tbo sugar products of civilized countries
which are able to buy something In return.
As the United States does not produce the
sugar actually required by consumers a
supply must como from outside eources.
Now la it not to the Interest of this coun
try to buy off the German producer rather
than turn to tbo cane Industries of Java ,
for example , when Java can give llttfo erne
no return for the purchases made of her ?

The effort of the Armour Stars to wrwt

an Ignominious failure , and It has now been
established beyond pcradventurc that ( hero
ID no local team which stands a ghost of a
show of defeating the lrewors on the diamond

The game was a highly Interesting event
find was witnessed by the largest crowd
which has turned out to an exhibition thin
season , it resulted In n victory for the
Brewers by a score of 11 to 3. The Armour
team had been strengthened by the addi
tion of the best players In South Omnlm nnd
put up n fnlrly good article of bull. Up un
til the fifth Inning It was n close contest , the
score being 2 to 2 , but In the following thrco
Innings the llrcuers struck a gait which
their opponents were unable to check.
The first score for the Armours was mndc
In the third Inning. There were two outs
when Whitney got to llrst on n single. Ho
was followed to the bat by Camp. It urta
Camp's second time up. The llrst he had
struck out nnd ho grasped his bat with ,1
determination to do some mischief with one
of McElvalne's curves. And ho did. He
struck a long fly away out In right field , far
beyond the reach of Scully nnd circled
around the diamond at race horse Hpeed ,
bringing In Whitney and scoring a home
run. The only other score made by the Ar
mours was In the ninth , when LaFontaln
made- home run.
In the fourth Inning Lawler made the
first score for the Brewers by lining out a
homo run. Waller followed him to the bat
and got to first on a quartet of balls. By
an error of Withers , who threw a wild ball
to LnPontnln on first , Waller got clear
around the diamond and mada the second
score. In the sixth Withers , who had been
hit by a pitched ball on the arm , retired
from the box nnd Sullivan replaced him. By
this time the Armours showed the fatiguing
effects of their previous warm work , nnd the
Brewers succeeded In piling up nine run *
without any difficulty. The score :

Mrs. M. U. Honton , 706 South 30th street ,
says : "I suffered with kidney trouble for a
long time. Of late years I was almost dis
abled and a constant sufferer from rheuma
tism , I had no peace by day , nor scarcely
any rest or sleep at night on account of
backache , rheumatism , nervousness and oth.
er distressing nnd annoying symptoms of
disordered kidneys , I was also troubled
with torpid liver and biliousness. I tried to
got relief by using different kinds of kid
ney and liver remedies , but my troubles re
mained until recently I heard about and
procured some of Morrow's Kld-ne-olds
and Liver-Lax , The use of these remodlci
wrought a wonderful change la my physical
and mental condition , In less than a week
I was free from kidney backache , rheuma
tism and In fact all pain and other symp
toms of kidney and liver troubles. "
