Yeiser of Omaha today complained to the State Board of Transportation that the express companies doing business In Omaha neglect to deliver promptly to con- Rignees packages that nro entrusted In their care. He alleges that they turn such pack ages over to local delivery concerns and that they charge nn extra fee for delivering them. The board Is asked to Issue an or der compelling the four express companies to deliver to any address In the city ot Omaha without the addition of local charges. Mr. Yeiser also asks the Hoard of Trans- portatlon to order a gate placed In the fence between the Union and Burlington depots In Omaha. A cac9 Involving the constitutionality of one of the provisions of the deficiency Judg ment law of 1897 was submitted to the su preme court this morning. The action was begun nnd a decree rendered In 1S9G , re serving by agreement of the parties the question of the liability of one of the de fendants for deficiency Judgment. It Is con tended that the net of 1S97 docs not apply to actlonn pending at the time of Its pas sage , nor to accrued causes of action nor to decrees already rendered. This conten tion Is based on n section of the etntu'.e which provides that "whenever n statute shall -bo repealed the ropcal shall In no manner affect pending actions founded thereon.

Mistak ing the signals , the scouts and the patrol proceeded to a kopje , from whence a terrific rifio and Maxim gun fire suddenly opened. The Boors lost fourteen men killed nnd twenty wounded. The British loss was probably Insignificant. The bombardment of the Boer positions from Swartzkopt was resumed yesterday , chiefly from n battery brought across the river. In the afternoon the cannonading bcjame exceedingly brisk , nud under cover thereof the Infantry advanced In three lines to a second row of kopjes , which they occu pied at nightfall , but later they retired to their old position. During the night a score of shells were fired by the British and a balloon was sent up to spy out the Boor position. The naval guns resumed the bombard- menC thlB morning from a new position , but without results. PRETORIA , Sunday , Jan. 21.
