The Douglas County School Officers aso- clatloa baa asked Superintendent Fowler for a ruling as to whether or not It Is lawful for school district to Insure school property In mutual Insurance companies. Toe attorney general, responding to a re quest from the superintendent, has given the following opinion, which will be the rule of the department: Bchocl district officers have the power to Insure school district property. M-ituil fire Insurance companies are authorl'ed and recognised by the statutes. One taking out a policy In such company, however, be comes by that art a member of the com pany. He Is subject to asssments for Insses Incurred by the company and as--liimM other duties and responsibilities which are not within the ordinary powers and duties of school districts, and wh'l there is perhaps no statute prohlMtlng such action on the part of the school district still I doubt the advisability or excellency of their becomln a member of such corpora tion. I would advise, therefore, that If they desire to Insure the iltr1ct property they take a policy In an old line company, psy the premium on it and subject them selves to no othei liability, Flm Corporation Assessments.

A. S. Tlbbetts, apprarlng la a legal ca pacity for the Commercial club, brought out the fact that the receipts for use of t:ll lines were not included In the figures. It was asserted by the company's representa tives that the receipts for the use of the toll lines are credited at large to a district and not to the station in which they arc paid.

FARMERS UP AGAINST TRUST Confronted hy Tkrethers Combine la Doaae Conaty, Who Advance Price Tweaty Ter Cent. FREMONT. Neb.. June it. (Special.) When tbe farmers of thla vicinity began to make contracts for threshing their grain recently they were much surprised to find an advance of about 20 per cent in ths charges msde by the threshers, std It now appears that there Is a threshing combine or trust In this vicinity which Is likely to make the farmer pay more than usual to get his grain ready for tbe market. In April last a meeting waa held here which was attended by the principal own ers of threihing machines In this and ad joining counties, at which it was 'decided that on account of the general advance la the price of machines, repairs, coal and other things they decided to advance tbe price. Committees were appointed and an organisation perfected, which Is likely to be a success. Lsst week another meeting was he'd st Hooper, which was quit well at tended. Farmers are satisfied that a combine ex ists, Including practically all the machine owners In thla vicinity and extending throughout this entire portion of tbe state, and are contriving some means to get their grain ready for market at the usual prices. Seme say they will buy machlnea of their own before tbey will pay the price charged. The increase In price come the hardest on tenants who rent on shares or pay a certain number of bushela per acre for their landi as they are without mean to buy machine, and many are obliged to market their grain very soon after it Is cut The wheat harvest will commence here next week. Winter wheat Is looking well and will make a good crop. The cblncb bug is reported aa working In spring wheat. The Indications are that tbe oat crop will be a big one and that there will be a consequent fall In prices. It Is owing to some extent to these facts that farmers are refusing to contract for their threshing at the present prices.

WASHINGTON. June 26. Admiral Dewey made a statement before tbe senate com mittee on the Philippine this morning concerning the early operations at Manila, when be was In command of the American naval forces In Philippine waters. The ad miral's statement contributed an Important addition to tbe history of the surrender of tbe city of Manila. This consisted of a positive statement by the admiral to the effect that the city had been surrendered to him at the flme that the Bpanlah fleet was sunk and that when tbe city did sur render It was in pursuance of a definite un derstanding between himself and the Span ish governor general. The admiral wa questioned by Senator Lodge. He said be bad first beard from Agulnaldo and bis friends about April 1, Ug, a month before the battle In Manila bay, when it became certain that there waa to be war. "I then heard that there were a number of Flliplncs who desired to accompsny tbe feet to Manila," be continued. "All of them were young and earnest. I did not attach much Importance to them or to what they said. The day before we left Hong Kong I received a telegram from Consul General Pratt, located at Singapore, saying that Agulnaldo waa at Singapore and would join me at Hong Kong. I replied 'all right; tell him to come aboard,' but I attached so little Importance to the message that I aalled without Agulnaldo and before be ar rived. There were then many promises as to what tbe Filipinos would do, but I did not depend upon them. Consul Williams arsured me that upon our arrival and ths firing of the first gun 10,000 Filipinos would rise. None did arise, and I frequently Joked bim on this point." Admiral Dewey said tbe 8panlsh gov ernor wanted to surrender tbe city te bim after tbe destruction of the fleet and that he Dewey) would have accepted the formal surrender If be bad had 6.000 troops to garrison the city. He told about Agul- nsldo's arrival, saying that he put bim ashore and told bim to organise bis people. Agulnsldo came back discouraged and wanted to go to Japan, but the admiral told him to continue fc'.a efforts. The admiral said he paid no attent'on to Agulnaldo' first proclamation of independence of the Filipinos. Speaking of Agulnaldo' military operations, he said he did wonderfully In whipping the Spanish. Admiral Dewey aald emphatically that hs never bad recognised Aguiaaldo's govern ment, nor did he salute Agulnaldo's flsg. He never caUed Agulnaldo "general," but addressed him aa "bom Emlllo." The admiral said he had never given the Philippine republic the slightest recogni tion; that he had no authority to do so. and did not consider It an organiied govern ment. He aald the Spanlah were fearful of the Filipinos entering Manila, and there fore surrendered to him In advance. Ha said there was no need for the loss of -a man in the capture of tbe city.

Bring your pictures manded that a few shot be fired, "so I bad to fire and kill a few people," eald the admiral, but tbe Spaniards did not fire, because he (Dewey) bad warned them not to do so. He did not believe the Filipino could bare taken tbe city unaided, but the Span lards were greatly demoralised. The admiral said he never received a letter from Consul Pratt telling him he must co-operate with Agulnaldo. He added that Pratt wrote a number of foolish let ter about that time. Admiral Dewey said be had written the Navy department that the Filipinos were more capable of self-government than the Cubans, because be saw that congress con templated giving Independence to Cuba and he knew that the American people bad little information concerning the Filipinos. The admiral said that when Agulnaldo was at the height of his power the British admiral, Seymour, had advised the Filipino chief to tie to tbe Americans, as they were his best friends. He said that when be let the Filipinos have guns and ammuni tion he thought that it was a military necessity. Looking backward, be could see that they were not needed. He considered them very ungrateful In turning against tbe United States. Tbe admiral said be and not the Filipinos had captured Sublg bay and be had taken possession because a German man-of-war was preventing Ag ulnaldo from passing. Admiral Dewey hsd not concluded when the committee adjourned. Will not effect kratz Additional Article to Mezleaw Ex tradition Treaty Does Hot Operate Asalast Alleared Brtaer. WASHINGTON, June it.
