blXCOLN, Not. 19. (Special.) In an
txtended opinion written by Justice 8edi
wlek the tupreroe court today put the. Ne
braska Home company out of business In
tbla (tat by declaring tbat It Is a lottery
and tbat Ita promoters promise Impsslblq
things. The court finds that the number
ing of certificates In the order In which
applications therefor are received gives
to the enterprise the element of chance,
which makea It a lottery. It also finds tbat
while the first twenty-two applicants out
of 1,000 may receive the benefits prom
ised by the company Inside of the second
twenty-month period after the filing of
the applications the 1.000 ' applicant has
little to hope for in the way of benefit in
this world, an It will take tint seventy
years to realise, and that tho company does
not profess to do anything for b:m In the
Beit world.
The suit Is in the nature of a quo war
ranto proceeding and was Instituted by At
torney General Prout on behalf of the
atate to prevent the company from doing
business In Nebraska. The syllabus or the
court la aa follows: ,
1. To Constitute Intterv It l nmr
that a prise be offered and something of
iuh m given lor a cnance to oDtain tne
prise.
2. The prise mav be anvthlna- of value:
a preference or .privilege In the dlstrlbu-
ui a t-ummon iuna among inos en
titled thereto may constitute a prise.
3. A Scheme mrherehv m nnmmnn fnnri
Is to be produced by the contributions of
various parties and afterwards distributed
among the parties contributing thereto, and
a valuable preference or privilege In the
distribution thereof la made to depend
upon chance, la a lottery within the mean
ing or our statutes prohibiting lotteries.
4. Contracts In which a comoration. In
consideration of stated payments made to
It, makes promisee, which are the main
Inducement to such contract, and are Im
pneslhle to perform, are unlawful, being
against public policy.
6. A corporation organised under the
laws of this state which Is engaged In a
Dumness lormauen ny statutes, or unlawful
an against nubile Dollcv. mav be deprived
of Its charter and dissolved by proceedings
n quo warranto.
The court states the case as follows:
First. Bald company shall number and
date all contracts issued In regular numer-
im oraer an applications are received at
the home office and ahall keep a record
thereof ahowing the date and the serial
numoer oi eacn contract.

This defendant cannot be allowed the

this etate for another reason. Ita plan

upon contracts which on its part it Is
Impossible to perform. It professes to be a
home company." and It agrees and under
takea to assist the holder of Its contracta
In purchaalng and paying for a home.
It issuea contracts which, through the
misfortune of the holders and the number
of the application, will bring no assist
ance before the expiration of the ordinary
allotment of three ecore yeara and ten.
It cannot result In aeaistance to auch
holders In procuring a home in thla world
and It doea not render assistance In any
other.
This company la a branch of a Kansas
City establishment organized In Omaha.
For a long time It la reported to have done
a thriving business In the metropolis. It
first sought the permission to transact its
business under the law authorising building
and loan associations, a privilege which
waa denied it. Thereupon It died articles
et Incorporation and started out In that
way. It waa then that the attorney gen
eral Interposed his objection. Blnce then
the Nebraska parties connected with It
have severed- their connection, aud the
company waa ostensibly bought by the
' Kansas City company or the parties who
compose It, and its business Is now being
carried oa by them.

Under a ruling of the supreme court
the state treasurer Is required to com
plete the contract made some days since
by the Board of Educational Lands and
Funus whereby fSOO.OvO of- school funds are
to be Inyeated In SV4 per rent gold bonds
of the state of Massachusetts. The appli
cation of the attorney general for a writ
of mandamus against the treasurer la the
test case was allowed.
Caavlct Cieta ftew Trial.
Becauae the Judge of the district court
of Otoe county. In sentencing John Mc
cormick 'to serve twenty yeara In prison
for the murder of the keeper of a hotel
while In a fit of Jealousy at the attentions
she waa receiving from another favorite,
did not acquaint him with the nature ot
the verdict of the Jury . and ask him
whether or not he had anything to say
why sentence of the court should not be
pronounced upon htm, the condemned anas
la decreed a new trial by the aupreme
court In an opinion rendered today. Tho
court holds that the statute oa that point
la mandatory, and that If the custom la to
become obsolete aa a mere formality. It Is
for the legislature and not the courts to
wipe It out. .
Declared I'aceaetltatlaaal.
The aupreme court has conferred upon
County Clerk Alvln Blessing of Valley
county the privilege cf continuing to dis
charge the duties and enjoy the emolu
ments of clerk ot the district court In that
county. There la a statute which provides
that la count lea of less than 1.000 popula
tion the duties of clerk of the district court
shall be performed by the county clerk.
I' poo the assumption tbat the county had
paased the limit In population there was
an election held In that county for clerk
of the district court, at which Horace
M. Davis claimed to have been elected and
soutfit to administer the office. Thereupon
Blessing brought an action la the mature
of quo warranto to oust him. and haa won
bis suit. A referaa aonolataal tka wri
reported adverse to the respondent Davla.
The whole question hinges on whether Val
ley county bad 1.000 population November
1.9!. when Davis was elected clerk of
the district court. Taking the census re
ports and the vote cast for president In
1900. the court holds that the population
fell short of g.ono at the time of the elec
tion. The evidence is found to sustain the
report of the referee. At the same time the
court holds unconstitutional the act of
1901, providing for clerks of district courts
In counties having more than 8,000 popula
tion, because It failed recently to receive
on Its final parsage In the house a consti
tutional majority of the members of that
body.
Lemuel T. Goldsberry, Guy Goldsberry
and Melvln Goldsberry, residents of Au
burn, Nemaha county, were convicted of
having received four horses and one muli
atolen In Missouri from various parties,
knowing thm to have been atolen. It
appears that an accomplished horse thief
named White furnished the testimony upon
which they ere convicted. The first
named was sentenced to ten years, Guy
to four and Melvln to two years In the
penitentiary. Thla Judgment is reversed
and the case Is remanded for a new trial
for error committed by the court In taking
away from the jury the question of fraudu
lent Intent and authorising It to find the
defendants guilty without finding tbat the
Intent charged was proved by the evidence
beyond a reaaonable doubt. "Although,"
said the court, "there Is much reaaon to
suppose the result of the trlsl would have
been the aame If the case had been sub
mitted under proper instruction."
Will Coateat Begaa.
Before udge Frost In district court to
day waa begun the hearing of a will contest
In which the Catholic church la an Inter
ested party. When Mrs. Mary A. Bentley,
a devout Catholic, died a year and a half
ago, aha cut oft her adopted son, Constable
W. A. Bentley. with but $25. while tho
remainder of her $7,000 estate went to
Bishop Bonacum and the German Catholic
church of this city. The son contests on
the ground that various priests and 'offi
cials of the church Influenced his mother
against him and In favor of the church.
Insaraace Company Wins.
Judge Cornish In district court today
ordered the Jury to find a verdict for de
fendant In the case of Kate King against
the Knights Templar and Masons' Indem
nity association. The case turned on a
point of law. A provision In the policy
was that If a member did not pay the agent
on the first of the month he waa sus
pended and could not be reinstated until
his money reached the home office at
Chicago. If he waa alive when It got
there he was again In good standing. In
thla case the friends of the -dying man
ralaed the money to pay his assessment
while he was In extremity, but the money
did not get to Chicago until after he had
died. The company refused to pay. An
effort waa made to prove waiver by the
fact that the local agent bad previously
accepted money after the first, but tho
court held the facta did not establish
agency.
Lost Hie Prisoner. .
A rery disgusted lot of penitentiary offi
cials and local policemen gTeeted Sheriff
Klum of Hamilton county when he got
off the train this morning with hla pris
oner, Fred L. Denny, for whom he had
gone to Minneapolis, mlaslng. He said
Denny eluded him at Albla. Ia. The peni
tentiary officials aay that on the other
side of Albla the man, who waa manacled
to the sheriff, got permission to remove
them while he went to the closet. The
sheriff sat In a seat waiting for him to
return. It was late at night and he fell
asleep. When he woke up he waa past
Albla, and Denny waa gone. .Then he came
right on to tell Detective Malone about
It. Malone had located Denny and the
prison officials wanted him becauae he waa
a missing witness In the opium smuggling
case that had to be dropped because of
Denny'a skipping out. .
Barltnartoa Bwltchasea Get Increase.
Burlington switchmen received notice to
day that they will at once receive an In
crease of pay, the aame as Is now being
paid at Chicago. Last September they got
a boost In salary, and the new Increase

Four companies, doing business here,
have become engaged In a fight for the
grain and have pushed the price tip so
that It Is now higher than In either Kan
sas City or Omaha.
In some Instances they have paid 10 cents
a bushel more than the market justifies.
Outside towns have been forced to raise
their prices to get any of the grain. The
meeting broke up without any satisfactory
understanding.

FATHER SHOOTS AT HIS SON
Trouble in tho Coney Family at Kearney
Almost Leads to a Tragedy.
TWO OUT OF THREE SHOTS ARE EFFECTIVE
Fortunately Woanae Are Not Serloaa
and Infuriated Man Is Disarmed
While Following; tp
Ilia Victim.
KEARNEY, Neb., Nov. 19. (Speclat Tele
gram.) Kearney was enllvenen with a
shooting affair about S o'clock this after
noon that came near being serious. At tho
hour named Captain D. A. Dorsey met
his son, Edward S. Dorsey. one ot the city
mail carriers, on the street and began
talking to him about matters concerning
the family. The son tried to evade the
conversation, saying that there was no
use of talking about their private matters
on the street. At this point Captain Dor
sey drew a revolver and began shooting,
firing three shots, one of which passed
through Edward's hat another through the
fleshy part of the arm above the elbow
and another one going wide.
Edward got out of the way as fast as he
could and dodged Into Blakely's store be
tween Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth
streets. The father followed, but before
the shooting could be resumed Constable
Nichols and George Ray took the Infuriated
man In tow and he was placed In custody.
As Is known to many, there has been aa
estrangement between Captain Dorsey and
his wife and children for several years.
This trouble, preying on the father's mind,
led to the assault, no doubt, during a
period of mental derangement,
MISTAKES MADE BY MAXWELL
gome of the Points Overlooked by
the Great Irrigation
Agitator.
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 19. To the Editor
of The Bee: Omaha seems to have
been chosen by Mr. George H. Maxwell,
otherwise the National Irrigation associa
tion, as a center from which he will hurl
hie thunderbolts. An address delivered by
him there not long ago has been placed In
the hands of western editors and has to
some extent been quoted. This address at
tacks the system of state control and ad
ministration of public waters which ia
In force In our own. and some neighbor
ing states. In making this attack, he abso
lutely Ignores the facts which serve to in
trench those laws In the favor of those
who have acquired or who expect to ac
quire water rights under them. He under
takes to prejudice the mlnda of those who
may not be fully Informed, using to this
end such terms as "a corps of state ditch
tenders appointed by state officials." He
states that the system in force "puts the
control of the distribution ot the waters
of a state In the hands of a great political
Irrigation machine, controlled by the atate
politicians," and presumably expects no
one to recognize the fact that a similar
statement might be framed In regard to
any of our affairs the administration of
which la Intrusted to stale er national au
thority. He takea up "home rule In Irrigation"
as a "slogan," and with the aame abandon
which he assumes when he assured the
delegate to the Irrigation congress at
Colorado Springs that when the govern
ment built Ita reservoirs and Irrigation
works, there would be 'plenty f water
for everybody," he now brushet aside all
difficulties In the way of a system of water
administration which would permit "every
drainage basin, every irrigated community,
every canal system, and the whole body of
Irrigators on any stream to "control Its
or their affairs" Independent of any cen
tral state authority. On this point, doea
It seems that the lecal control ot the North
Platte and Platte rivers would be simpler
than the present state control? Mr. Max
well must Imagine that nothing would
be eaaler than for the people of Scotts
Bluff county and those living several hun
dred miles nearer to the mouth of the
river to get together in the town meeting
and fix up their affairs.
He speaka ot the "complicated code of
atate laws," In the face of the fact that
the mere completely the element ot
state control of streams has been embod
ied In the constitution and statutes of the
Irrigation states, the more simple and In
expensive Is the process of adjudication of
priorities of right to the use ot water and
the more definite and secure are those
rights.
Mr. Maxwell says that the codes of state
water laws "would complicate and retard
beyond calculation the operations under the
national irrigation act," and, further, he
limits what the atatea should do In this
matter to the establishment of "a few fun
damental principles by constitutional
amendment and Judicial decision."
President Roosevelt eays that a majority
of tltlea to water In the weat already "rest
on the uncertain foundation of court de
risions rendered In ordinary suits at law.
With a few creditable exceptions the arid
states have failed to provide for the cer
tain and Just division of streams In time of
scarcity."
Note the radical departure of Mr. Max
well from the opinion entertained by the
president In regard to the desirability ot
Judicial decisions as a foundation for water
rights. Moreover, who can doubt tbat Ne
braska and Wyoming were foremost in the
mind ot the president when he noted that
there were creditable exceptions to tho
general rule that states had failed to pro
ride efficient laws for the distribution of
water.
In Mr. Maxwell's own ststs of California
kls program has been Ignored. There a
representative commission, composed of
three leading members oi the California
bar and some of the foremost economists
and engineers ot the state, headed by a
chief Justice of the supreme court, "has
framed a bill for putting Into effect a law
in that state which follows precisely the
lines which Mr. Maxwell condemns.
There are now Indications that a cam
paign haa been Inaugurated which will cen
ter around the legislatures of those states
which have not as yet reached firm ground
In respect to Irrigation legislation. This
campaign will be one of agitation and mis
representation, having Its origin In private
selfishness and personal spite, and will be
directed to the end of preventing that dis
passionate and unprejudiced study of what
has been accomplished and the lessons
which have been learned In other states and
other countries, and which should precede
any wise move tn the formulation of Irri
gation laws. The campaign will have the
support of every lawyer of that class which
has everything to gain and nothing to lose
by the creation of conditions of chaos and
anarchy In those states.

THERE are but few families that
have not from time to time seri
ous illness in the home. At auch
times the first question is what is the
safest and quickest way to regain the
health of the sufferer. In try home
and ainonff women relatives and
friends we nave come to the conclu
sion that doctors are an expensive
luxury. Tbeir prescriptions may
sometimes relieve, but tor real, per
manent cure 1 know of nothing
which I can so surely depend upon
as Wine of Cardui. It must be a
skillfully prepared medicine for it
seems to answer the purpose ia
numerous complaints peculiar to
women. I learned of its value per
. sonally three years ago when two
bottles cured mo of periodical pains,
and I was so pleased with the
results that I recommended it to
a number of friends. I have known
of severe cases of inflammation and
ulceration which were cored in a few
Mrs. Whittaker it a highly intellectual woman, and as president of a
prominent Savannah woman s organization her words are worth con
sideration. She has made up her mind that doctors are an expensive and
often unnecessary luxury, and that Wine of Cardui is a medicing that
can be depended on. Besides being surer and more lasting as a remedy
the trifling cost of Wine of Cardui ccunuends this great remedy to every
suffering woman. If every woman in the land today wouldstudy existing
conditions as Mrs. Whittaker has studied theni she would come to the
same conclusion regarding Wine of Cardui. Kvery woman has friends
who have paid doctors bills for years with no particular result.
Many families have been dragged down to poverty in this way. At
the same time over a million women have secured health br taking Wine
of Cardui, purchased from druggists at a nominal cost. Wine of Cardui
cures menstrual disorders and drives weakness from the female system.
Yon can get the same good health as Mrs. Whittaker by securing a $1.00
bottle of Wine of Cardui today.
