SUPREME COURT ADOPTS A NEW RULE tat Committer Haay Mapping Oat CinftUn-Spcikm of national Repatatlan tor tate of Xrfcraaka. (From a, Btatf Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Sept. 16.Sperlal.)-Tne fall emester at the State university began this doming". The flrat leasons will be given out Saturday and the firm recltatlona will be held Monday. Until then the executive force of the university will devote Its effort to registering and carina- for the student. The registration rooms were crowded alt day and the force had all It could do to list the rtudents presenting themselves for matriculation. For the first time in the history 'of the Law college its students were registered the opening week. Usually the Law college doea not begin until October, a month later than the academic and other departments, but this year all begin at the same time. The rush la expected to continue for sev eral days. No comparison with last year can be made, because for the first two days the number is only bounded by the ability of the clerks to register them. The good tlmea and the plentltude of money among the farmers and tradesmen of the mall towns is regarded as good grounds for belief that the, attendance will exceed that of any previous year, although Mr. Crabtree of the business staff says that the highest point In attendance was reached at a time when the opportunity for em ployment waa smallest. Quarrel Over Paring. A bitter quarrel U on between the prop erty owners of three different streets in the fashionable residence aectlon over precedence In the matter of paving. Some of the aggrieved gentlemen threaten to carry It into court, a proceeding which will tie up all of the districts so far as any Improvement this fall Is concerned. The council ban ordered C street, from Eleventh to Seventeenth, pnved with as phalt. This takes up every bit of available money In the Intersection fund. B street property ownere and persons living on Washington between Seventeenth and Twenty-third streets, each of which com prises newly created districts. Insist that their petitions were on file first and that th council cannot lawfully pase them by for any other section. The C street people retort that their petition .was on file two years ago, but because the council had no money for intersections tney naa 10 wan so lone that much property ensngea nanan, In order to make It lawful they had to get out new petitions. The , matter will be aired In court if the quarrel Is longer maintained. , , . Retail Oroeere Here. The annual meeting of the Retail Grocers' &2sc!at!sn -was to have opened fit " Iln- dell hotel this afternoon, but the number In attendance was so small that It was ae termlned to poetpone the program of exer cises until tomorrow. The Omaha delega tion did not appear, as was anticipated, but word cam that a half hundred of them would be here tonight and tomorrow morn ing. The program consists of addresses of welcome and a talk by President Coning- bara of the association. J. S. Bishop of Lincoln, one of the organizers of the asso elation.

Williams of South Bend. Ind.. na tlonal president, la expected tomorrow. A big banquet will be one of the closing fea- tures. The small attendance today waa rather discouraging to the promoters, but they look for many from out In the state tomorrow. No towns have yet formally en tered the race for- the location of the next convention. Adapt a Sew Rate. At today' session of the supreme court a new rule was promulgated by the clerk. acting under Instructions from the Judges. It reads: "Hereafter no continuances will be granted by thla court after the case Is once on the call." ' Ever since the court has shown signs of speedily catching up with the docket there ha been a steady Increase in the numbT of request for continuances. The court has been much annoyed to find, after lay ing out plans for a good term's work, half of the cases set go by the board because tome attorney Is not ready. Thla will not be permitted In the future. The attorneys dn't like the new rule very well, as they Insist It I Impossible sometimes to tell so far In advance a the making out of a call whether their bualness will alwaya permit them to be here. 8ome other case of greater Importance may call them elaewhere and they think the court will find it diffi cult to enforce the new rule arbitrarily and yet do the right thing. The Miles will case, from Richardson eounty, waa one of those that went over for the term. So waa that brought by the state against the Union Paclfls, in which the ref treea reported favoring a dlamlssal. The major portion of the morning sitting waa devoted to memorial services In eulogy of the late Oenlo M. Lambertson and Wil liam Leeae. The full court snd commis sion, with several scorej of the members of the stat bar, were present. Resolutions were presented by committees nsmed by the court giving expression to the esteem of the court and the Nebraska bar for the "An All-Day Food Wheat and Fare Frail Onmblaed.
