LINCOLN, .Vet., Junu' 18. (Special. )
Attorney General Trout 13 Being unjustly
condemned IV the IujIou press, for allow
ing his nam to' te .iscd In Vbo CMe In
fetltuiwd by the Lincoln 'Oas and Electric
cnmjnny and toe Lincoln Trictlon company
to test the 'co-jr.tltutlo.iailty of the sec
tion Of the Lincoln chniter which rreated
and i-rovlded for the ofllce of tax controls
ojoner In this city. Mr. Prout has taken
mi part whateve, in the action and In the
lecords of the court ho Is not named as
on attorney for either tide of the contro
ferny. He knows nothing a'jout the esse,
ether than whit he has read In the news
paper!. Grossly :nlsreire3cntlrs the facts, the
fu'.lon papers have declared that Mr.
I'rout was employed by the corporation to
fight tbo office of city tax commissioner.
As the records disclose, .the corporations
employed an attorney to appear In their
behalf and he Is going ahead with the
prosecution without consulting the attor
ney general.
Tun lawsuit In question Is In the nature
fif a quo warranto proceeding, which can
be Instituted only in the name ot the
state. Through courtesy Mr. Prout agreed
to ba.ve his name appear on the petition as
the person bringing the suit. This act
expedited hearing on the constitutional
question, which otherwise would had to
have been brought up In another and more
tedious way.

Mate Military Hoard.
Adjutant General Colby today1 Issued a
call for a meeting of the State Military
Boarin-lrls, cltyVTuesday, June 25. Here
iofore it has been customary for the' board
to meet at regular monthly Intervals, the
members churgtug their railroad trans
portation and per diem to the state. Tbo
higher authorities considered this an un
necessary expenditure and it was decided
to go back to tho old rule of calling the
board together only when thero Is neces
sary buslnets to be transacted. The mem
bers of the board are Colonels Hayward
r.nd Archer, Judge Advocate Brown and
Adjutant General Colby. The call for the
meeting announces that "business of Im
portance" is awaiting consideration, but
so hint is given as to its nature.
When asked what matters would be
brought before tho board, Adjutant Gen
eral Colby said: "The meeting Is for tho
purpose of considering the usual claims,
which must be approved by the board be
fore they can be allowed."
Location of Stnte Cnmp.
Adjutant Gencrnl Colby said further that
the location of the nnnual encampment ot
tho .Nebraska National guard would likely
be discussed at the meeting. There aro
various propositions before the board and
if the question is opened at an tno location
will probably be definitely settled.
Senator JHarlan for Alaska.
A psrslstcnt rumor, which has not been
denied, says that Senator N. V. Harlan of
York has been recommended for the ap
pointment of United States' district attor
ney for Alaska to succeed A. M. Post.
Judgo Post has agreed to turn over the
office at any time convenient to Senator
Harlan. Both were in the clty yesterday
and arrived at an understanding as to the
tinnsfer. The position tarries a salary of
J3.000.
Problem of' the Penitentiary.
The 'state Board of Public Lands and
Buildings Is confronted by. a serious prob
lem In connection with the reconstruction
of the state ponltcntlary. Not a contractor
can bo found who is willing to undertake
tho Job of putting up a new building for
the money available. The board will wait
a few days longer and then If no bids aro
received arrangements will be made to have
the building put up by convict labor under
the direction ot some experienced man.
The legislature appropriated $75,000 for
all expenses incidental to restoring the
penitentiary. The board has already dis
posed of J1S.O0O for cells for the old cell
house and as many more will soon be
bought, bringing tho total expended for
cells alone up to 130,000. After paying for
plans, ndverthfmcutB for bids and other
miscellaneous things, there will be about
$rs.000 remaining for building material. It
Is believed, however, that with this money
exclusively for building material and with
convict labor at no expense, a pretty fair
cell house can be constructed. The state
officials would much rather some contractor
would assume the responsibility of con
structing tho bulldlnr. but as this evidently
Is out of the question the stslo will assume
chars') of the 'work.

Lniirnalcr County Hepnltlleaua.
Acting Chairman Dawson ot the Lancas
ter county republican central commlttco
will Issue a call In a tew days for a meet
ing of the committee on June 2S for the
purpose of deciding upon the tlmo and
place for the county convention. While
some ot the leading county politicians are
In favor of having the convention early
next month, a majority prefer a later date,
either In August or September.
Besides determining the time and place
for the convention the committee will bo
called upon at the meeting to arrange tho
order In which nominations are to be made
and to make some preliminary arrange
ments for tie campaign. The candidates
want the o'fflce for which they aro striving
to be' nominated to come close to the head
of the list, whlrh Is always a favorable
position for trading.
It is also possible that the committee
will pass upon a proposition to change en
tirely the method of making nominations
In convention. It has been proposed to
have the delegates vote by Australian bal
lot, thus making trades and combines next
to Impossible. It Is hardly probable, how
ever, that the politicians will look with
favor on this plan.
Cum Company Plead Poverty.

by the city tax commissioner. It Is con
tended that the estimate Is entirely too
high and out of all proportion to the as
sessed valuation of other corporation.

United States Department of Agriculture,
Nebraska section, climate and crop Service
of tho weather bureau, University of Ne
braska, Lincoln, June IS, 1901:
The past week hns been cool, with heavy
showers. The dally mean temperature has
averaged 2 degrees above normal In the
southeastern counties and 2 degrees be
low normal In the northern and western.
The rainfall was much above normal In
all except a few eastern counties, where It
was below, being from a quarter to half
an luch. In a large portion ot the central
and western counties the rainfall ranged
from two to five Inches.
The heavy showers of the past week were
tiufflclently general to cause a decided Im
provement In crop conditions, although In
some small areas the rainfall .was Insuffi
cient for crop needs. Winter wheat has
continued to Improve and In most places
Is filling well; in the southeastern coun
ties It is beginning to ripen. Oats have
grown well, but are heading very short.
Corn has grown slowly, but rather better
than during the preceding weeks this year;
the stand Is good and the crop Is quite free
from weeds. The heavy rain In the north
ern and western counties has placed the
ranges In exceptionally fine condition and
makes probable a large hay crop In those
counties. The first crop ot alfalfa Is nearly
all In the stack In southern counties, a
good crop, secured In prime condition. In
the central and western counties consider
able alfalfa was damaged by rain. Cher
ries are a large crop; apples promise a
poor crop.

URLINGT0N TICKETS STOLEN
Robbery of Offlce at David City I Dis
covered Former Operator
I Accnaeri.
DAVID CITY, Neb., June 18. (Special.)
Some time ago that B. & M. Railroad
company discovered that a number of tick
ets had disappeared from the depot In
this city and the affalrsscemed a mystery.
In a few days those tickets begun to be re
turned by the conductors to the head of
fice. Detectives were sent to work on tha
matter and became suspicious of Clyde F.
Kcmmerer, who was telegraph operator at
the tlmo tho tickets disappeared and car
ried a key to the ticket case. He has been
arrested, charged with the crime.
The tickets stolen were long distance, be
ing to Denver, Portland and various Pa
cific coast points. On of them In the
possession of the officials here shows that
at Portland, Ore., a rebate of $2t was
paid, another $22.50. One ticket to Seat
tle does not show whether any rebate was
paid, also one to San Jose, Cal. The total
number of tickets stolen Is sixty-one, the
average foce value of each ticket being
$50. The plan seems to have been to de
tach the coupon part of the ticket from
David City to Lincoln. In taking the
tickets out of the case the top ticket was
not taken, but nbout the fifth ticket, then
skipping one or two another one was taken
and so on through the entire, package. The
party who took the tickets no doubt had
an accomplice, as he could not have, com
mitted the crime alone. Only part of the
tickets have been returned to the head of
fice of the company. All conductors have
been notified of the number of the tickets
not returned.
Superintendent Blgnell was in the city
last night and today and filed a complaint
against Kemncrer. His preliminary ex
amination will be Saturday. Kemmerer Is
a young man 22 years old.
