OUR REPUTATION IS YOUR SAFEGUARD. KELLEY, (From Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Sept. 27. (Special.) Att-rney General Prout has filed his Anal brief la the qua warranto proceeding brought by blm some time since on behalf of the atate to ouat tha Nebraska Home company from doing business In thin atate. Thla cast la down for hearing before the supreme court, October 7. The company operated extensively for a time In Omaha. The method was to enter Into contracta with Its patrons ostensibly to enable them to pur chase homes and pay for them. All of Its contracts were numbered and dated. A tea of $3 each was charged for registering nd dating them and each holder of a con tract was required to pay It. 35 each month la to the company. Of thla amount the company bound Itself to dpposit In nme approved national bank In Omaha 11 as part of a trust fund held by the bank for the benefit of contract holders. This fund could only be drawn upon In a specified manner by the company officials and for the bene fit of contract holders. The remaining 35 cents of the monthly charge went to the company ostensibly for Its services, In con ducting the business. Each contract provided that It should nature whenever there should be over and above what was required to be paid out on contracta of a lower serial number tbaa lta own, either an Income of $59 a month due the home fund from contract holders or an amount of money In the home fund which, when added to the Income due from contract holders for a period of twenty months, would equal $1,000. The company agreed that upon the maturity of each contract It would pay the holder $50 a month for twenty months to enable blm to purchase a home, pay off a mortgage on his home or erect a dwelling bouse on a lot belonging to him- The bolder was required to select property deemed by the company to be worth $1,000, Whereupon the company would make the purchase and put him In possession. After maturity of the contract the holder was required to pay $5.25 a month until he paid In $1,000, of which payment $5 went Into the home fund and 35 cents to the com pany. Failure to meet a payment when due, rendered all sums to be paid under contract due and collectable. The contract also contained a provision, making the sec retary of the company his attorney. In fact Irrevocably, with full power to sell or dis pose of the 'holders rights In case he be came' delinquent. Tha attorney general contends that 'the use of $1,000 without Interest until It can be returned In monthly payments of $5 each, or a present of $1,000, If the person re ceiving It wll py jntrt thereon for sixteen and two-thirds years, at 6 per cent, la sufficient to constitute the prize essential to a lottery. , "The $1,000 used by the holder of con tract No. 1," says the attorney general In his brief. "Is, with the exception of a few dollars, furnished by subsequent holders. The use of this money Is worth 6 per cent per annum, and if properly loaned for the benefit of those who created the fund, can be secured by first morts-asea on tmnroverf farms. The cities and towns are full of .reliable bualneas men who will use $1,000 belonging to holders of unmatured con. tracts, pay them for such use $5 a month s' (per cent Interest for sixteen years and eight months, or $1,000, and at the end of that time pay them back every dollar of their $1,000. "The nrlvlleae of imln tl Ann until l can be returned In monthly payments of $5 without Interest will cost the earliest holder $83, and the value' of such use or prlxe, as already shown. Is $1,000. The latter sum Is largely In excess of $83, and the excess of $917 Is something for nothing." The attorney general contends that a man cannot give good money for nothing as a business matter, honestly and fairly. Many of the provisions of the contract are discussed In the brief to show that the scheme la nothing less than a lottery, and the attorney general's arraignment of the scheme la a scathing denunciation. In the case of George A. Neal, the firm of Bartlett, Dundy Martin of Omaha and Coffin A Clementa of Lincoln are counael for the company. Thompson 8(111 ladeclded. While D. E. Thompson still saya be la undecided aa to whether he will accept the Brazilian ministry or not, hla friends are of the opinion that there Is no doubt about his taking It. All that is now preventing blm from giving a decision, they say, Is bow to handle his newspaper proposition A number of men out in the atate who have been associated- with Thompson in various business enterprises went Into the newspaper company on hla request and be cause they thought Thompson would be her to run it. II does not desire to Ihrow down these friends and it is probable bis final decision w'll not be announced un til he" has heard from them. Mecrnand Gets Better.

H. S. FERRAR IS THE NOMINEE Manager of Local Factory the Party's Candidate for Representative Sapport Pleda-ed to Administra tion's Cnban Policy. GRAND ISLAND. Neb., Sept. 27. (Spe cial Telegram.) The republican county convention was largely attended, an inter esting contest for the nomination for rep resentative between W. A. Prince, former ly a member, and H. S. Ferrar, manager of tne American Beet Sugar company, bring ing In a larger number from the country than would otherwise have been expected, owing to muddy roada. George L. Rouae, candidate for one of the two nominations, had no opposition. Owing to the result of two caucuses In the city last evening, W. A. Prince prac tically withdrew this morning.
