LINCOLN, Sept. 15. (Special Telrgrem.)
The last of the penalty suits brought by
Constantino J. Bmyth during bla tenure ai
attorney general against the railroads of
Nebraska la about to be expunged from the
records of the supreme court of the state.
Early In I960 the fusion attorney general
began several cases, taking In practically
very railroad doing business In the state,
nd asking that the court assess penalties
aggregating 13,000,000 for alleged violations
ef the maximum freight laws. One by one
the suits have been abandoned and dis
missed until the only one remaining was
that against the Union Pacific, the amount
which Mr. Smyth asked the road to con
tribute to the state exceeding $. 000.000.
The t'nlon Pacific case, after running the
gamut of the co6rta' delays for over two
years, wss referred some time ago to ref
erees to take testimony and report to the
court, with . findings thereon. E. R. Duf
fle and Ed P. Smith of Omaha were named
by the court as referees. Their report wss
filed with the court today. The documenl
asserts that exhaustive Inquiry Into the tes
timony and the law leads to the conclusion
that the penalities cannot be legally exsed
from the railroad company. They recom
mend that the statute be declared "uncon
stitutional, Inoperative and void, and that
the action be dismissed. " ' ''
The court Is . expected to approve the
recommendation at Ita September sitting,
beginning tomorrow. The finding of the
United States supreme court In the Ne
braska maximum rate cases. It is under
Stood, was the determining factor with the
referees in disapproving the suits.
"vase Recover Ilia Diamond.
Governor Exra P. Savage turned Dio
genes last night and, armed with a lan
tern, stalked the streets of Lincoln. The
executive . waa searching for a diamond, a
large four or Ave carat sparklei, which he
had loat from his shirt front. Governor
and Mrs. Savage visited friends In the
uburbs In the evening, returning home
late. Then It was that the stone was dis
covered to be missing. . Mrs. Savage was
certain It waa In Its accustomed place as
they were about to return home. Procur
ing a lantern, the governor walked from the
executive mansion to street corner in
the business center, where he had pre
viously changed street cars. The search
waa rewarded after a half an hour, by
the governor seeing the gem shining from
a crevioe In the pavement. Governor Sav
age would, not estimate the valae of the
stone, which 1s a large one, and was given
to him by friends In South Omaha on his
tcoessloa to the executive chair.
Coateatloa Over Water of Platte.
The contention over the right to take
the lower waters of the Platte river for
power purposes assumed a new phaee to
day. Andrew Rosewater of Omaha pre
sented to Secretary Dobson of the State
Board of Irrigation an amended applica
tion for right to take the water. His
previous application had been protested
by J. E. Riley, promoter of the Platts
tnouth Power company, and hearing on
thla protest will ocour before the irrigation
. board about October 'L " 7 . " '
Mr. Rosewater'a new application pro
vides for the tapping of the Platte river a
few miles below the town of Valley on
the north aide of the river and Just above
the mouth of the Elkhorn. He proposea
to conduct part of the water from the
Platte Into the main stream of the Elk
horn, below which a dam will be built,
and from this sufficient head Is to be ob
tained te give a fall of fifty feet. The
specifications provide for a developed
horse power of. 25,000. Several miles be
low another reservoir Is to be constructed
which will furnish an additional 25.000
horse power. The estimated cost of the
undertaking la $2,000,000.
The Riley canal would not be harmed
by the amended Rosewater plans, provid
ing only the' tatter's upper reservoir Is
constructed, the water from which would
later flow Into the Riley ditch. It Is now
suggested that a compromise has possibly
been effected by which the two canals may
be built without one Infringing upon the
other.
Foor New Baaks.
Four more state banks will be added to
the roll of Nebraska'a financial institutions,

ON THE TRAIL0F NIEGENFIND
Two C'laes to Whereabaats of Mar
derer, bnt Mont Probable Owe
froaa Pllsrer.
PIERCE, Neb., Sept. 15. (Special Tele
gram.) County Attorney Barnhart, who la
directing the pursuit of Nlegenflod. the
Pierce county murderer, has two clues as
to his whereabouts. It waa reported this
morning that two traveling men saw a man
answering his description last Friday be
tween Crofton and Hartlngton. Another re
port waa received this morning from Con
stable G. W. Goff and Defect 've Franklin,
who are Stanton. They say th-t a man told
them that he was acquainted with Niegenflnd
and that on Saturday Niegenflnd rode with
hi ji nearly tc Fllger. The man lid not
know that Niegenflnd was charged with
murder. Constable Goff thinks they are
about four hours behind the murderer.
Henry Carsten, a farmer ani. a bacholor,
living about four miles southeast of where
the murder was committed, aays that Nie
genflnd stayed with h'm all night after the
murder was committed. All be said was that
he and Breyer had had a fight anl that
maybe he had killed Breyer. That a wagon
went past the bouse thnt night and that
Niegenflnd rose up In be! an l cocked his
revolver and eald if the sheriff came after
him he would shoot him. That If he were
kurrounded by too many men. hi would
kill himself. Carsten said Niegenflnd was
prepared to get out any Uuin as be did not
take off hla clo'.hes when ho retired. Nlt
genflnd rode wl'.l him mi to a load of bogs
until lthln one mile of Wlnalde when he
left, going south. Car-tor went to Win-
elde with another load of hogs the next
day, but heard nothing of the murder, until
on the road home. He was Informed of It
but refused to believe It until be asked his
neighbor, August Koerttug, vrho told him It
was true.
The county rommi. .inner! held a meet
lng today and offered a reward of $300 for
the capture of Niegenflnd. . The funeral of
Albert Breyer and daughter held yesterday
was largely attended. Mr. Breyer was an
old aettler in Pierce county and was a
highly respected citizen.
MINISTERS GO OUT SLUMMING
Tell Concrearatlona on Honda- Who
They Saw la the Disreputable
riaeee. ...
HASTINGS, Neb., Sept. 16. (Special.)
A thunderbolt from a dear sky penetrated
nearly al the prominent churches of Hast
ings yesterday morning when the respective
ministers began their aermona by telling a
few facts which they had seen and learned
about the places of degradation In Hastings
and the people who visit them. It seema the
clergy of thla city conceived the Idea of vis
iting all tbe palaces of sin and places of
iniquity In the city, and last week tbey put
their Idea into action. Before starting they
found themselves wondering how they could
gain admittance into the places of vice, but
soon they learned that all doors swing open,
even to them, and they also found all that
they were looking for, and more too. Rev.
Van Dyke of the Presbyterian church said
In his sermon yesterday morning that In
every den or disreputable place tbe min
isters visited they found a member of some
one of their churcbea there, apparently en-
Joying himself. Mr. Van Dyke further
said that he did not hold Mayor Mtlea
to blame for these dens of Iniquity in the
city, because the mayor was enforcing the
laws according to the manner In which the
church membera desired It. The sermons
were all full of Ore and were quite sensa
tional. From all accounts the male members
of the various churches must have had a
"hunch," for tbey were conspicuous by their
absence from church yesterday.
'Wholesale Grocery for York.
YORK. Neb., 8ept. 15. (Special.) It is
nearly an aasured fact that York will toon
have a wholsale grocery house. Last week
parties Interested came here and aecured
options on trackage property near the Bur
lington depot and on Lincoln avenue. They
asked part lea whom they talked with to
not aay anything about It. It Is supposed
that the parties are either interested in
one of Omaha's wholesale houses or are
aome of the leading employea who expect to
go In business for themselves. York's geo
graphical location Is such that It would
make one of the best distributing polnta in
eastern Nebraska. Its railroad facilities are I
the very best. Railroads run out of York
In every direction. If something should
happen that these parties do not build and
start a wholesale grocery house, there are
parties here who are becoming Interested
and may start one.

Etprruei Fear that Militia May Be

the Manenvers.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, 8ept. 15. (Special.) The Ne
braska National guard will not take part
in the coming fall maneuvers at Fort
Riley, Kan. Governor Savage today made
public the following statement upon the
subject:
Arter looking into the matter fully I have
concluded that Nebraska Is not In position
to accept of the Invitation of the War de
partment to mobilise the National guard
at Fort Riley, and I have advised Adju
tant General Colby to that effect.
Various reasons Impelled me to that de
cision. It would entail an expense of ap
proximately 1:5,000. Many of the members
are engaged In school work, both aa in
structors and students, and to take them
from their work at this time for a period
of two weeks would work a hardship on
them and seriously Interfere with the edu
cational machinery of the state. My policy
has been throughout my administration to
require each institution and each depart
ment to keep within the amount appropri
ated and guard against expenditures In
excess of that amount. The unexpended
portion of the money appropriated for the
National guard la sufficient to defray In
cidental expenses only, and such expense
as would result from moblllzatlng at Fort
Riley would have to be met by a deficiency
appropriation, a proposition -I am unal
terably opposed to.'
Another reason why I deem It unwise Is
the industrial situation. For some time a
strike has been In progress on one of the
principal railway corporations, and while
no request for troops haa yet been made.
It la liable to come at any time, and It Is
necessary that the state shall be prepared
to respond promptly. To send the troops
out of the state In face of such conditions
would be unwise, if not perilous.
However, that Nebraska may reap some
of the benefit 1 have accepted an invita
tion from Adjutant General C'orbln to send
a committee of officers of the guard, and
I have appointed Adjutant General Colby
Itrlgadler General Barry Inspector General
Hills, Surgeon General Evans. Colonel Wil
liam Hayward, Colonel Harry L. Archer,
Captain W. K. Brooks and Captain Bamuel
E. Yoder as said committee.
Unless detained by official business I shall
attend the exercises myself.
Will Make bat One Speech.
The hopes of LIncolnites who wanted to
hear two speeches from President Roose
velt on the occasion of his visit to this
city were dashed today by a telegram from
Secretary Cortelyou, in which he said that
tbe president declined to make more than
one talk in any city. The arrangement
was to have him address one gathering at
the capltol grounds and another from the
balcony of the Lincoln hotel.
The program of entertainment will em
brace a big procession and a general wel
come. The president will be here one
hour. He will be escorted to the capltol
by a cordon of police and militiamen and
citizens and uniformed organizations. Gov
ernor Savage will Introduce the president,
but will make no speech. Following the
president's address a reception will be held.
The street cars will not run during the
hour the chief executive Is here. Thla was
decided upon as a certain means of avoid
ing any repetition of the Plttifleld tragedy.
Mr. Day Will Walt.
George A. Day of Omaha, one of the
commissioners of the supreme court, who
haa been tendered' tbe Fourth district
judgeship made vacant by Judge Keysor's
resignation, had a long conference with the
governor today. It is understood that he
will hot make hla decision until after the
judicial convention la held. If he secures
the nomination he will accept the appoint
ment to tbe vacancy, while it someone else
Is nominated he will retain tbe commit
slonership. Commissioners la a Mqaabble.
The minority and the majority In tbe
Board of County Commissioners have again
clashed. The trouble began some months
ago, when Commissioner Tllton, conclud
ing that he bad been duped Into giving a
favorite, of Mr. Welton the remunerative
contract for building tbe county bridges. In
stigated proceedings which resulted In tbe
annulment of the contract. In delivering
Its opinion the court reprimanded the com
missioners for tbe careless manner In
which they let the contract and the haste
displayed. This led to a feud between
Tllton on one side and Welton and Borgelt
on the other.
An effort waa made to block Tllton's re
nomlnatlon, but tbe convention was held
too soon to make It possible to do this.
Tllton lives In the most overwhelmingly
republican district in the county, and a
fight against bis re-election was found to
be hopeless. At a meeting of the majority
faction late Saturday evening a resolution
was passed redisricting the county. It
was not made public until today, and the
fact that It makes it nearly an even ques
tion whether Tllton can be re-elected from
the new district has caused considerable
comment. Friends of the commissioner say
that It Is an attempt on the part of the
other faction to make It possible to defeat
blm at tbe polls. Tbe majority faction in
sists that It was done to equalize the vot
ing strength of the three districts. Wel
ton had a close call when be ran, because
all of the populist precincts in tbe county
are In his district. He la said to desire a
third term and wants to make himself
safe. Another reason assigned is that
Borgelt, who has moved from the Second
ward to the Fifth, wanted the district
changed so that he would be In line for
a second term. By the redisricting the 1
Firth, formerly in Tllton's district. Is added
to Borgelt's, and the Third ward, which
has a candidate or two already for next
year, is tacked onto a country district.
By the new arrangement the city has one
commissioner exclusively and the country
two.
Bald to Be la Hiding.
Mrs. Albert Secbrest, alias Mrs. George
Hertzler, the Lincoln woman who has been
the central figure In a Kansaa City sen
satlon, where she was discovered to be
posing as the wife of two different men. Is
said to bo hiding In this city. There Is no
pending charge against ber In the Missouri

Is a railroad yardmaster. The woman's

At no time In the history of disease has
there been such an alarming Increase 'In
the number of rases of any particular
malady as In thst of kidney and bladder
troubles now preying upon the people of this
country.
Today we see a relative, a friend or an
acquaintance apparently well, and In a few
days we may be grieved to learn of their
serious Illness or sudden death, caused by
tbe fatal type of kidney trouble Brlgbt's

Kidney trouble often becomes advanced
into acute stages befor tbe afflicted Is aware
of Its presence; that la why we read of so
many sudden deatha of prominent business
and professional men, physfclans and others.
They have neglected to stop the leak In
time.
While scientists are puzxllng their brains
to find out the cause, each individual can,
by a little precaution, avoid the chances of
contracting dreaded and dangerous kidney
trouble, or eradicate It completely from
their system If already afflicted. Many
precious lives might have been, and many
more can yet be saved, by paying attention
to the kidneys.
It is the mission of The Omaha Bee to
benefit its readers at every opportunity and
therefore we advise all who have any symp

today to Dr. Kilmer Co., Blnghamton, N.
Y., for a free sample bottle of Swamp-Root,
the celebrated specific which Is having such
a great demand and remarkable success In

MAY REINSTATE STILWELL
Jndare Grant's Petltloa to Discharge
Receiver of Guardian Trust Com
pany of Kansas City.
KANSAS CITY, Sept 15. Judge Amos M.
Thayer of the circuit court today granted
the petition of the stockholders, represent
ing Arthur E. 8tilwell to discharge tbe re
ceivers of fhe Ouardlan Trust company, ap
pointed over a year ago at the instigation
of John W. Gates and his following.
The supporters of Mr. Stilwell, who at the
.time the company waa thrown into the re
ceiver's bands was president of the com
pany, asserted In their petition to have the
receivers discharged that tbe business could
be conducted more economically with them.
The Gates contingent opposed the move
on the theory that Stilwell desired to merge
the Gulf and Trust company into tbe Mex
ican Trust company. It is said that Mr.
Stilwell will be reinstated as president.
Judge Thayer's order authorizes the re
ceiver to pay Immediate direct liabilities to
tbe sum of 1199,433, and make paymenta of
contingent liabilities to the amount of $31,
880, taking from the persons holding the
contingent claims agreements extending the
Ume for tbe oavment of tbe residue. The
direct liabilities ordered to be paid Include
outstanding debenture bonds, mortgages on
real estate, trust funds, open accounts and
116,000 due the estate of tbe late F. M.
Black, by order of the court for services as
receiver.
A statement accompanying Judge Thayer's
memorandum shows that there is $382,397
cash available at this date to meet the re
quirements of the order, and it will leave a
balance of 1101,624.
Judge Thayer's order authorises and di
rects the receiver, immediately on the elec
tion and organization of the new board of
directors of the Guardian Trust company,
which the court understands will be elected,
and will convene on October 22, to turn over
to such board all property and assets of the
Guardian Trust company in his hands.
The stockholders of the company at their
coming meeting are to adopt a resolution In
structing tbe directors of the Guardian
Trust company and Its executive committee
to sell to the best advantage all the real
property of the company, save such as may
be needed for the transaction of business.
The executive committee is also to sell, col
lect or otherwise reduce to money, with all
convenient speed, all bonds, stocks, bills, de
mands, claims and securities which the not
good Interest-bearing securities, to the end
that the affairs of the company may be put
In a condition for speedy and convenient
liquidation.
The minority stockholders wbo have ob
jected to the discharge of tbe receiver must
be given at least one representative en the
board of directors to be elected October 22,
who shall also be a member of the executive
committee of tbe board. If such a committee
is elected.
Today's order by Judge Thayer marks
the near approach of the end of the Guard
Ian Trust company. This company wss or
ganised ss tbe Missouri, Ksnsas and Texas
Trust company in 1889 by A. E. Stilwell
and E. L. Martin, with an authorised cap
ital stock of $1,000,000, divided Into lO.CHH)
shares of $100 each. In 1899, soon after the
capital stock had been increased from
$1,500,000 to $2,500,000, the name was
chnnged to the Guardian Trust company.
Tbe efforts of John W. Gates to secure
control of tbe company and oust Stilwell
culminated by Gates throwing the com
pany Into the hands of a receiver. This
was in November, 1900.

SCIENTIST CHARJER REFUSED

aad Rellajloa,
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 15. The applica
tion for a charter made by tbe First Church
of Christ (Scientist) was refused today by
Judge Arnold In the common pleas court. In
hla opinion Judge Arnold says:
The charter applied for in this case covers
a double purport' a church and a business.
We have power to grant a charter for a
church, but we have no authority to grant
a charter for a corporation for profit, that
la, a business corporation.
