Home Company In Court.
Attorney General Prout this afternoon
filed an extensive brief in the supreme
court In the action pending to annul the
corporate existence of tha Nebraska Home
company, an Omaha Institution. The at
torney general Insists thai this company
Is Issuing an Illegal investment policy. Mo
ays: "Tha abuses of which complaint Is
made consist In soliciting, selling and exe
aiting unlawful contracts for the ostensi
ble purpose of assisting tha purchasers
thereof In procuring homes. (The contract
set eut In the petition Is a copy of one
submitted by the defendant to the State
Board of Banking for the purpose of ob
taining a ruling that the company was not
within the Jurisdiction of that tribunal."
Secretary Dobson of the State Board of
Irrigation returned today from a trip along
the Irrigation sections of the Platte and
Niobrara rivers. He says the supply of
water In these rivers It about normal for
this season of the year. In many places,
howsver, the demand far exceeds the sup
ply. This Is because many ot the appro
prlators take more than tbelr share of the
water. Mr. Dobson Is in favor of allowing
on approprlator on a ditch to use all of
tha water for a time, bis right to be re
linquished to the next approprlator after
a stipulated period, and. so on down the
stream until the last approprlator shall
have had the benefit of the full flow of
water. There is no law or rule, however,
under which distribution may be compelled
la this way.
Heavy Rainfall la Llncola.
One of the heaviest ralna of the season
fall here this morning, beginning at I SO
and continuing for two hours. There
have been numerous showers during the
day, bringing1 the total precipitation up to
