.HlCAGO, Nov. 7. A. B. Stkkney, presi
dent of the Chicago Great Western rail
way, was the first witness before the In
terstate Commerce commission today. He
bad prepared a number of figure to show
that the rates Imposed by that road were
not unreasonable.
Mr. Btlckney's testimony waa to tbe effect
that, while there was an apparently large
disparity between the rates, on livestock
and the finished product, yet the conditions
of transportation made the two rates al
most equal. '
He declared that all rates were es
tablished on a baHls of an absolutely free
market and that the Intention of the rail
road ccmpaoy was not to hurt Chicago or
to build ttp Kansaa City. The rate of 18V4
cents on packing house products waa made
after negotiations with large shippers and,
while the Oreat Western had aecured the
best rate It could arrange, yet the one now
established 'was not unreasonable.
He further asserted that the livestock
rate, all things considered, was not out of
proportion to the other. . .
He submitted a table of .figures to prove
lila statements and closed by stating that
rates ahould be based on the cost of serv
ices and not on the value of the property
hauled. i

.. .i ' '
W. B. Ulddle, freight traffic manager of
the Santa Fe, who waa the next witness,
took lasue with Mr. Stlckney In regard to
rates on live stock. He began by stating
that th rate established by hia company
on packing bouse products was the same
as that of tbe Great Western, while on live
stock It waa only 12 rente, compared with
ISVi cent charged by the Oreat Western.
The coat of both were about equal, and
railroad men generally recognized that
rates should be higher on the finished
product than on live stock.
A. C. Bird, third vice president of the
Chicago, Milwaukee A St. Paul, was re
called and declared that rates are governed
largely by market conditions.
In reply to a question he asserted that
the rates enforced by hia road on eattlq
and packing home products did. not Injure
the public and that they brought the great
eat good to the greateat number. He ad
mitted that ratea now In force were not
Ideal, but said they were suited to the con
ditions generally prevailing. Nevertheleaa,
'he would not attempt to defend or condemn
the prevailing rates on finished products.
E. B. Boyd, general freight agent of th
Chicago. Rock Island A Pacific, Darius
Miller, vice president of the Chicago, Bur
lington Qulncy, and the general freight
agent of the Wisconsin Central, were ques
tioned by tbe representatives of the Chi
cago Livestock exchange, but their testi
mony did not differ materially from that
of the prevloua witness,
Mr. Thompson, .secretary of the Chicago
Livestock exchange, went on the atand
ahortly before the adjournment and sub
mitted statements compirlng ratea enforced
by various roads. He will give additional
testimony tomorrow. '
The commission had hoped to conclude
the bearing thta week, but Mr. Bird, aaid
the railroads would want time to prepare
Statements In answer to Mr. Thompson. It
til agreed, therefore, that a date for fur
ther examination be fixed tomorrow.
The Mioursota atate railroad commission,
will also Introduce evidence at the next
meetlo.

CONDITIONS IN POLICY ARE BINDING
Governor 9sTie tall I poa tae
People of Nebraska to Obaervo
November ST a Thanks
giving. (From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Nov. 7. (Special.) A decision
of great Importance to fraternal Insurance
societies, overturning a It doe prevlou
rullnas of the court, I that Just rendered
In tbe case of tbe Royal Highlander
against Scovllle. Hon. D. A. Scovllle of
Aurora was the plaintiff In the lower
court. He secured a Judgment tor $500 a
beneflciary of a policy of hi daughter,
Mr. O. M. Decker of Omaha. The latter
died In Omaha June 21, 1899. On the 26th
of the previous January he had been In
itiated Into the Highlander. She per
mitted her due to become delinquent June
On June 18 she was taken suddenly III
and on June 21 at 3 o'clock in the after
noon ber physician telegraphed her father
at Aurora of her dangerous condition and
advised that be look after her Insurance
If there waa any delinquency. He went at
once and paid the dues. Three hour later
she died. The local secretary tried to re
turn the dues, but the beneficiary refused
to receive them.
The question waa, did the receipt and
acceptance by the local agent bind tho
company? The court have heretofore held
that It did. In this case It holds the con
trary. The court bases It decision on the
fact that, knowing of the dangerous Ill
ness of hi daughter, Scovllle did not act
In good faith In tendering the amount of
tbe dues when she was hopelessly 111. One
of the conditions of reinstatement Is good
health at the time of payment-and the
court holds that this Is binding. It say
"Officers of subordinate lodges of benev'
olent societies have no authority by reason
merely of such office to waive any of the
provisions of the rule and regulations of
the order which enter Into and form a
part of the contract of membership.
"When one of such rules was that after
suspension for nonpayment of dues a mem
ber could only be reinstated while In good
health, the receipt of her duee for reln-
atatement by the subordinate lodge a sec
retary, while she waa In a dying condition,
was no waiver of such requirement of
good health."
Power of Conaty Board.
An Important decision defining tbe power
of county boards Is rendered In the caae
of J. B. Bacon against Dawea county, a
controversy arising over refusal to pay cer
tain warrants bold by Bacon. The court
says:
"Levtea made for other funds cannot be
transferred by the county board to the gen
eral fund before the tax so levied has
been collected.
Warrants drawn upon the general fund
of the county In excess of 85 per cent of
the levy for that fund and where there
la no money In the treasury belonging
to that fund are void.
"No right of action accrues upon county
varrants until there la money for their
payment In the fund upon which tbey are
drawn or tbe proper authorities have bad
opportunity to provide funds to pay them
and have neglected to do so."
The court hit tbe county board of Lin
coln county, a hard whack. Some year ago
It levied a large tat for bridges, but be
fore tbe levy was collected, transferred
tbe amount of the general fund. The Bur
lington Railroad company paid under pro
teat $312 of bridge tax and then brought
suit to have It returned- on tbe ground
that it waa all a acheme to get more
money for the general fund than tbe law
allowed.
The supreme court took a similar view
of the matter holding that It was for an Il
legal and unathorized purpose and la void.
aed the Wrong Party.
Tom Murray will not get anything from
tbe city of Omaha for tearing down the
ramahackle buildings be once permitted to
adorn various sections of tbe metropolis.
Tbe court say that he sued the wrong
party; that be should have sought dam
ages from the Individual member of the
building Inspection board, and not from the
city of Omaha..
It aays that It la true that the board
la appointed by the municipality, but It
derive It power from and 1 a creature
of the atatuea, otherwise the state. It
therefore follow that the city I not llablo
for any wrongs committed by the board.
Nor la the munlcpality to be held liable
on that ground that It ratified and adopted
the acts of the board where tbe matters In
volved are not within the acope of the
powers conferred on It by the charter, but
are expressly confided to the board.
Blow to Literature.
The social, literary and artistic side of
life in Chapman, Merrick county, was bard
bit In a decision of the cburt. Ciaua
Sotham was before tt on the charge of hav
ing sold liquors without a license. It de
veloped that he waa tbe steward, clerk
and treasurer of a aoclal club In that vil
lage. Tbe Initiation fee was 25 cent and
In return tbe member got a coupon ep
titling him to It value In liquor. The
number of coupon be could get at the
aame figure was limited by his willingness
and ability to pay. The court says this
fact Is sufficient to indicate that the club
waa not formed for the purpose claimed.
The caae la reversed, however, because
of tbe faulty Information. Instead of di
rectly charging the crime the county at
torney had the Information recite that he
believes and had reason to believe that
Sotham committed the crime alleged. The
court aays that tt does not follow that tbe
man 1 guilty, but that tbe county attorney
oeiieves ne la.
Aa to Deteetlre'a Testimony.
Frsnk Frutde's conviction of the charge
ci seiung row county people intoxicaota
without having a license therefor Is re
versed by the supreme court, because the
court below Instructed tbe Jury that) It
vhould give the teatlmony of detectives tbe
same weight a It did other Interested wit
nesses. FruMe's conviction was brought about
by two detective from Lincoln, who found
him with a government license in bis pos
session. He and bia wife denied the
charge.
Jaat Legal Rhetoric.
Justice Sullivan's oplntona are remarka
ble for their clear-cut, vigorous English,
and In tbe decision affirming tbe conviction
of William Reed of Douglas county for
theft of $2s0 from an old man who wan
dered Into bia aaloon. One of tbe error
claimed by Reed' counsel was that th
county attorney bad been guilty of mis
conduct in that be declared before the
Jury that he hoped God would send light
ning down from heaven and consume him
If the defendant waa not guilty Of this
tbe court saya:
"The fart that he avouched hia faith In
tbe Justice of bia cauae by offering himself
to crdeal comes under the beading of pro
fessional enthusiasm: not much Importance
should be attached to It, It la of no sig
nificance, but mere rhetorical fiourlah.
Calling spirits from the vasty 4ag or
levla from the sky I, la thla materialistic
age, a perfectly harmless diversion, for.
however vehement th call may be, no an
swer Is expected."
Another allegation of error was that tbe
value of the money taken waa not proven.
Tbe court aays:
"It I not necessary to prove the value
of money. The Judge, a well a other,
know what It Is. Tbe court will take Judi
cial notice of whatever la generally known
In the limits of Its Jurisdiction." '
In the 8outhman rase the following I
laid down: .
"The court of this state will take Judi
cial notice that beer I an Intoxicant."
Dealea Rehearing of Shelby Caae.
The court refused a rehearing In the caae
of Mr. Shelby against John A. Crelghton
of Omaha. John and Joseph, year ago. In
herited considerable property from thetr
brother Edward. John was made adminis
trator and In his Inventory omitted to In
clude a large tract of land now In Omaha.
Later he purchased, for $30,000, all of th-9
Interest of Joseph In the estate. Mrs.
Shelby, a daughter of Joseph, brought suit
to secure her father' Interest In the omit
ted property, claiming that It waa, Inten
tionally omitted. The court doe not take
this view of the matter, but holds that It
wa Innocently done.
It aays, however, that tbe contract may
be reformed, and that where, by mutual
mistake, a contract la made to convey more
than was Intended, or In the contemplation
of the partien thereto, a court of equity
may reform It to conform to the Intention
Thanksgiving Proclamation.

TELEPHONE COMPANIES AGREE
Interchange of Bnalne Between
Three Systems at Fre
mont. FREMONT. Neb., Nov. 7. (Special.)
After rejecting varloua propositions and
counter propositions tbe Independent Tele
phone company of this city, tbe Farmer
company of Scribner and the Bell Tele
phone tompany finally adopted satisfactory
traffic arrangement at a meeting of the
Farmer company at Scribner, which wa
attended by the representative of the
other companies. When the Independent
company of this city wa organised It wa
expected that traffic arrangement would
be made with the ' Farmer company,
though there wa no agreement to that
effect. From the beginning there waa
some Ill-feeling between the two com
panies, which the Bell company waa not
slow to take advantage of. Both compa
nies submitted propositions for a traffic
settlement with the Farmer company and
finally at the Scribner meeting that of the
Bell company wa accepted. The Fremont
company and the Hooper company then got
together and made a satisfactory agree
ment. The Hooper company baa an agree
ment with the Farmers company and In
thla way tt la thought the Fremont com
pany can reach the country. The Fremont
company ha nearly all their polea set and
all their other material on band. They will
probably have the 'phone tn by the mid
dle of December. Their lines are to be
extended into Saunders county.
