LINCOLN. Oct. 9.Bpeclal.) Daniel
Freeman, who made In Oage county the
flrat filing ever made under Uie homestead
law, baa achieved a nw distinction. He
has aecured from the supreme court a de
cree for a writ prohibiting the utterance
of the Lord a prayer, the reading of the
bible and the tinging at auch hymn at
"Jesus, Lover of Mr Soul," "When He
Cometh" and "Nearer, My Ood, to Thee,"
In the public schools. It waa eorae two
year a ago that Freeman brought ault In
Oage county to secure an Injunction against
the Board of Education of one of the
echool districts of that county restraining
It from permitting the teacher, Edith
Beecber, from conducting the customary
religious exercises In the school a. In bis
application he alleged that ahe waa In the
habit of reading from the Bt. Jemes trans
lation of the bible, which Is an Incorrect
translation made In the Interest of a cer
tain English church and unfit In many
places to be read to children; that he was
not a believer In the bible nor Its teach
ings; that be paid taxes for the support
of the public acbool, which .was attended
by two of his children; that the morning
exercises also Included singing from "Ooa
pel Hymns," edited and compiled by Ira
D. Sankey, known as "The Singing Pil
grim," and that the teacher also engaged
In prayer In the presence of the pupils.
He maintained that the prayera were
often not addressed to anyone but the chil
dren and were Intended to guide them in
the faith of their teacher. He held that
these religious exercises took up '.Ime that
abould be devoted to education of the chil
dren and that be did not desire to pay
taxes for the support of a houae of worship.
There was practically no denial of any of
hie allegations In regard to -the holding of
the exercises to which he objected, but It
waa shown that hs had caused several
teachera before Mlaa Bee:her's time to dis
continue them and had cauaed the school
board a great deal of trouble by his deter
mined opposition! to any such services In
the schools.
On the hearing In the district court of
Gage county In Decembth, ISM, Judge Let
ton denied the application for the writ and
beld that It was wlthft.'the discretion of
the authorities of the school to have such
exercises conducted. Tcday the supreme
court hsnded down an opinion In reversal of
this holding and ordering a, writ to Usue
from the supreme court. The opinion la by
Commissioner Ames, Justices Sedgwick and
Holcomb concurring. The former attaches
hs special concurrence "solely on the
ground that the exercises complained of
were sectarian Instruction within the mean
ing of ths constitution," and the latter con
curring In a separats opinion. One Inter
esting feature of the case la that one of the
briefs filed waa from John H. Llndale as a
friend of the court. In which he protested
In the name of ths Roman Catholic church
and Its membership against the reading of
the fit. James bible In the schools.

, In an opinion submitted today the su
preme court haa said that the release of
John Henry Loechner of South Omaha from
prosecution for the .frauds, ohargad against
Mm at a member of the Magic City Board of
Education was wrong. Loechner escaped
prosecution Just prior to the last city elec
tion In South Omaha In time to become a
democratic candidate for mayor. Hla re
lease was effected upon a technicality. It
waa urged In bla behalf that tbe atatute
Upon which It waa proposed to prosecute
hlra applied only to public officials holding
administrative offices, and the merabersi'p
In the Board of Education waa not of that
sort. After his releaae the county attorney
.filed exceptlona to the findings of the court
and brought the case to the supreme court
to test the question. In an opinion handed
down today by Justice HoMonib the excep
tions of the county attorney are suitalned,
but It Is too late to apply the law to Loech
ner. Among the opinions submitted was one
affirming the decision of the district court
of Boyd county In tbe cass of Melvln Hub
bard, sentenced from that county to seven
yean for the crime of criminal assault. In
thla caae the victim of Hubbard's alleged
paaalon wrote a letter from Iowa after his
' conviction, In which she said that she had
worn falaely at the trial and that It was
Hubbard'a hired man, whom she after
wards married, with whom she had been
Intimate, but the court waa evidently In
ellned to believe her first story rather than
ner last.
There was some disappointed among ex
pectant ones when It waa discovered that
the supreme court had adjourned without
having appointed a auccesaor to Oeorge
A. pay on the commission. Ths resigns
tlon of Commissioner Day was accepted by
tse court.

Charles Benson, one of tbe leaders In
the molding of sentiment among tbe saloon
keepers of Lincoln, said today:
"80 far as we are conrerned, there baa
be-n absolutely no organised movement or
action threatening the republican candidate
for governor. There are some men In Lin
coln who belong to the retail liquor dealera
of tbe state, but there It no local organisa
tion and those who" belong to the state
association do ao simply for the protection
It affords them on their bonds. The state
association waa formed to fight aulta
brought under the liquor law, and for that
purpose only. I used to belong to It, but
have not been a member lately. Its mem
bership Is chiefly In the small towns. Over
In Omaha, out of over SOO saloon keepers,
leas than twenty-five belong to the Retail
Liquor Dealers' association. Most all of
the saloon men of Lincoln are republicans
and will support tbe republican candidate
for governor thla year."
"If the saloons undertake to regulate the
politics of the state," said ex-8peaker Paul
F. Clark, "It would be a mighty easy
thing for the state to regulate the saloons
out of existence by means of the state dis
pensary system, or some other of that
character."
Dlsaate Over Proceeds.
Saline county financiers are well repre
sented in Judge Frost's court today. Henry
Gund, president of the Blue Valley bank
of Wllber, which went Into voluntary liqui
dation a year ago, la suing Byron O. Lane
and A. S. 8ands to compel them to give
bim hla share of the proceeds of the liqui
dated Institution, nearly $7,000.
They refuse to do this, claiming that
Gund really owes tbe bank $6,578, and ask
for the appointment of a receiver to make
all remaining collections and to compel
Ound to make good, or else, permit a credit
to tbe amount atated on his third share of
the money awaiting division.
Gund waa financial backer for w. L.
Hayes aV Bro, In the grain business for
years. As such he became Indebted to
the bank In various sums, which notes
were renewed from time to tlms and In
creased steadily until they . aggregated
$6,578. Gund says that the real amount
due on these notes was but $1,606, and
this sum was adjudicated by tbe Thayer
county district court, where be paid It.
To thla Lane and Sands retort that this
was a made-up suit, In which the bank
bad made no defense to ths claim of
usurious interest, and that it was all tbe
result of a conspiracy between Gund, the
president, and Judge Hastings, J he attorney
of the bank.
They claim further that they bought
stock In the-Institution on ths faith and
credit of the note being worth Us face
value, receiving such assursnce from. Gund
himself.

P. Coursey Richards, a man 62 years of
age, who has a gallant record as a unluu
scout In the wsr of the rebellion, will have
to serve a twelve-year term In the atate

FIGHT WITH A RAILROAD
Aeeased ( Dlserlmtaatlaa; Asjalast
Private Elevator Compaay
t Vlroiala.
BEATRICE. Neb.. Oct. . (Special.)
There promises to be an Interesting time
at Virginia, this county, In the near future
because the railroads at that place bave
refused to give the Vircinla Grain and
Elevator company the right to erect Its
elevator beside their track.
When the company was organised It
purchased the grain houae of J. V. Allen,
situated upon the Missouri Pacific tracks.
After the sale had been made Mr. Allen
was notified to remove his building from
their right-of-way before October 23. Later
the traffic manager visited Virginia and
rescinded that order, but refused the ele
vator company permission to enlarge the
building, which Is too small to accommo
date the business tbe company expects to
do. The railroad further refuses to con
struct a sidetrack to an elevator that tbe
company may build upon private ground
adjoining the right-of-way.
The arbitrary action of the railroad man
agers has so Incensed the farmers com
prising the elevator company that they de
clare they will build, and If ths railroads
refuse to build a track to them, they will
haul their grain to tbe cars, or to other
points.
The men who comprise the elevator com
pany are among the wealthiest farmers In
eastern Oage county. They are ths men
who grow the grain and are In tbe fight
to a finish. The outcome will be watched
with Interest by residents of this section.

COLUMBU8. Neb.. Oct. . (Special.)
The eighth annual meeting st the Ne
braska Federation of Women's Clubs
closed st 4 o'clock this afternoon, the en
tire day having been given over to busi
ness. Action upon the proposed changes
In the constitution, chief smong which was
one providing for a biennial Instead of an
annual meeting, was taken up first, and
as this chsnge practically occasioned all
of the others. It csrae first. Without
recommendation from the board of presi
dents It was presented, the discussion be
ing long snd spirited, but It was finally
rejected almost unanimously and meetings
will continue to be held annually..
Article Iv occasioned the most bested
discussion of the entire meeting. This
article as amended, in addition to the
seven offices already existing, provides tor
six additional vice" presidents, one from
each of the six congressional districts of
the state, whose duties shall be a general
sunpervlslon over the clubs of their re
spective dlstrlots, to encourage the exten
sion of club work and organize local dis
trict federations wherever possible. That
this addition to the executive board would
be of value In bringing them In touch with
the work of the state all seemed to realise,
but as the question of adequate income to
properly support the work Is at present
one of the serious problems of tbe federo
tlon, the question arose whether the fed
eration could afford to add to its already
heavy expense, the expenses of six addi
tional officers, Incurred in attending board
meetings.
Aatlolpate aa Income.
It was maintained by many that with
this addition to tbe board a sufficient num
ber of new clubs would bs brought Into the
organization to more than make up the
additional expense. This did not satisfy
the others, but the measure was finally
carried and had been so declared when the
wording of the amendment waa questioned
as not giving tbe district vice presidents
ths privilege of voting In tho executive
meeting.
The parliamentarian was called upon and
decided that this was tbe case, owing to
the unfortunate wording of the article, and
tbe women found thaf, though tbey had
Intended Including this prlvelege, through
a technicality the new officers could not
enjoy it until tbe expiration of the year,
when the constitution, after due notice,
could be again amended.
An amendment to the bylaws, providing
that all moneys and dues shall be paid to
the recording secretary, who shall pay the
same over to. the treasurer, was the only
other change of Importance, after which ths
election of officers was taken up, resulting
as follows: . -,.
President, Mrs. Emma I ig of Syracuse;
vice president, Mrs. E. J Halner of Au

The following recommendations were
made by the executive board: That the
office of federation librarian be abolished
and all subsequent business of that na
ture to be left to the library extension
committee; that a committee of three be
appointed to Investigate tbe proposed plan
for the establishment of a monthly pub
lication in tbe Interest of the 'federation,
which should be sent to all of its mem
bers. The credentials committee reported an
attendance larger than that of any pre
vious meeting, there telng ll8 delegates
present, representing forty-seven towns
and fifty-eight clubs. In addition to these
there were over 100 visitors.
It was decided that the standing com
mittee of household economics be made a
special committee to devise plsns for se
curing an amendment to the present pure
food laws of the state, together with an
appropriation sufficient for its proper main
tenance. Invitations were extended by Fremont,

Including the men, women and children,
gathered to bear Hon. W. J. Bryan speak
la Tecumseh this afternoon. The principal
Ingredients of bis speech wert wind and
tunny stories. He presumed to discuss the
leading questions of the day, but his dis
position of them was by no means satisfac
tory and his audience was a cold one and
It waa by ths greatest effort that be se
cured applause. The republican party and
the administration were scored up one
side and down the other. The president
deserved some little praute, be admitted,
for his effort to settle the strike. Things
seem prosperous enough, he said, but ths
country Is on the verge of a great calamity,
as there Is by no means the money In the
country that there seems to be. Mr. Bryan
was disappointed when the hour came to
speak and such a small crowd was on
hand, fn previous meetings hers he had
been accorded a larger hearing, but the
town people are too busy now to come
out to an afternoon meeting and the
farmers were not sufficiently Interested to
leave the fields.
AUBURN, Neb., Oct. 9. (Special Tele
gramsAfter being thoroughly advertised
for two weeks, about 1,000 people, more
than half of whom were women and chil
dren, gathered at the court house yard to
listen to W. J. Bryan give a remedy for all
the Ills that humanity Is heir to. Bryan
arrived at 4 p. m. from Tecumseh. He was
met at the depot by a few of the faithful
democrats and escorted to the court houe,
where a platform had been erected for the
speaking. H. H. Hanks, the fusion nominee
for congress, was first Introduced and spoke
for a few minutes. Bryan was then Intro
duced and spoke for more than an hour.
He confined his remarks principally to the
Fowler bill and the trust question. He
dwelt at length upon the coal trust and
offered as a remedy the Kansas City plat
form, which provided for a board of arbi
trators, to settle such difficulties. There
was a marked lack of enthusiasm and the
applause was very tame and Infrequent.
The lack of interest in the Bryan meeting
was shown by tbe fact that many fusion
farmers who were In town did not attend
the meeting at all, saying that they were
busy at home and bad not time to listen to
Mr. Bryan. Some of tbe republicans took
occasion to put up posters containing some
of Bryan's prophesies. This was resented
by the democrats, who quickly tore them
down. The demopops gained nothing by
bringing Bryan to Auburn, aa this meeting,
compared with his former meetings here,
was almost a failure.
