1 LINCOLN. Feb. 8. (tfaecltl.) Defend
ant' brief- and argument on tbe plea of
abatement In the case of the 8tate against
the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company were
filed In the aupreme court today. The suit
was begun by the fusion attorney general
to recover penalties for violation of the
maximum freight rate law. The railroad
company aeta forth the following reasons
why It should not be held to answer:
"Because the violation of the maximum
freight rale law would be a misdemeanor;
a criminal offense punishable by a fine,
and under the constitution and laws of this
tat this court Is not given original juris
diction In criminal actions, hence this
court baa no Jurisdiction of the subject mat
ter of this action and no authority to try,
bear or determine the Issues . therein.
"Because the plaintiff seeks to recover
In this action upon nineteen separate
causes of action, based upon nineteen
claimed separate violation . of the maxi
mum freight rate law, denominating and
constituting each separate shipment a vio
lation and cause of action, when at most
all matter alleged In plaintiff's petition
could constitute In law but on violation
subjecting defendant to but one' penalty.
"because there Is another action pending
between the parlies hereto. In the district
court of Saline county, Nebraska, which
court has jurisdiction of the subject mat
ter of thla action, and In which action plain
tiff herein claims the right to recover for
the same violations of the said maximum
freight rate law. That is to say In said
lotion so pending In the district court of
Saline county the plaintiff demands recov
ery for the first, second, third, fourth and
up to and Including the tenth violations of
aid maximum freight rate law, although
such violations are alleged to have oc
lurred at different places and on prior dates
lo those alleged In the petition filed herein."
State Sues for f435,(MM.
Th petition of the state is to. recover
435,000 for the alleged violations of the
let. The atate insist that every exaction
of freight rates In excess of the rates pre-
...... v .u-5- - ieno ..l.t. l
ind of Itself a separate and distinct of
fense, and that the state can recover a fine
tor each freight rate exacted In excess of
the maximum rate prescribed by that act
The defendant contend that in any event
the nineteen violations could constitute but
one offense which would be a violation of
the entire act and hence creates but a sin
tie offense. In other words, the company
Insist that It is no greater crime to vio
late every item In the schedule than it Is
to violate one item, and that If this court
had jurisdiction of the subject matter but
one fine could be Imposed If the defendant
was adjudged guilty of all the charges con
tained In the petition, and the fine would be
regulated by the amount fixed for the first
Violation of the law. . .

Can't cure an incurable disease. Nor can
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. But it has cured a
great many most desperate cases, chronic
cases, such cases as no other medicine in the
world touches.
The next time you talk with your doctor
ask him if knows of any other cough medicine
that so quickly cures colds and coughs, even
the hardest kind of lung troubles. He will
give you an honest answer. Abide by it.
" I was given np to di with quick consumption. I rapidly lost in weight
from 138 to 98 pounds. I had repeated hemorrhages, and at last went to bed
never expecting: to get p. I then tried Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, and in Bin
months I had regained my old weight and was a well man again."
