penitentiary land, situated In Lancaster

land became the property of the state at
the time of Its admission to the union.
The greater part of this land waa sold at
the time of the construction of the present
building. A little oyer a section was not
sold, however, for the want of buyers, and
that land still remalna an unclassified ap
pendix to the accounts of the commissioner
of public lands and buildings. Year after
year recommendations have been made by
the incumbents of that office as to the dis
position of the Income of this land. At
the present time there la to the credit of
this land the sum of tl.OM, the Income of
several years past. Mr. Follmer recom
mende that this amount be turned over to
the general fund or placed In the temporary
school fund.

ages. Miles appealed to the supreme court,
and that tribunal holds the lower court wsa
correct. If a complaining witness, In his
statement to his attorney before Institut
ing a criminal proceeding, makes a recita
tion of facta claimed to have been per
sonally knowa to him, which the Jury
thinks untrue. It U no protection that be
acted on the advice of attorneys. Malice,
It save. Is not necessarily presupposed to
be personal hatred or 111 will, but an action

Tolata la Commercial Law.
A point In commercial Isw Is decided in
the case of Oakley against Csrr, from Lan
caster, which I reversed. The court ssys
that notice of the dishonor of a promissory
note Its being protested Is sufficient If
sent to the Inst Indorser by the first mall
of the day following dishonor, even though
such Indorser Is an agent for collection
merely, and he Is entitled to one additional
day to notify the Indorser Immediately
preceding him. This need not be a new
one, but he may utilize the one sent htm
by the protesting officer.
The court holds that an action In the
nature of a creditor's bill cannot be main
tained to set aside the conveyance of prop
erty which Is exempt to the defendant as
a homestead. The case cam from Phelps
county, where Henry D. Jayne tried to have
a conveyance from the Holdrege National
bank to the wife of Its president, W. E.
Hymer, set aside on the ground of fraud.
The court ssy there was no fraud, that
the conveyance was bona fide, and that the
temporary residence of the Hymers In
University place for the purpose of educat
ing their children did not rob them of the
claim to a homestead in Holdrege. To
maintain an action of this kind It must
be alleged and proven that the relation of
creditor and debtor existed at the time of
the conveyance, or that It was executed
fraudulently-with the expectation on thn
part of the husband that he would become
Indebted to the plaintiff and to hinder the
collection of the debt when contracted.
York Can l'e Sevrern.
The city of York may continue to empty
its sewage Into the waters of Beaver creek.
John Todd and some others resident along
the creek sought to enjoin the city from
doing so on the ground that It would cause
life on their farms to be unbearable and
would amount n fact to depriving them of
the use of tbelr property. On behalf of
the city It was retorted that It was neces
sary for the health of the Inhabitants
thereof to have an outlet of that character
and that as a matter of fact there had
been a lot of hog pens along the creek that
amelled louder unto the heavens than
would the outlet. The district court dis
missed the case as lacking In equity, and
the supreme court affirms this decision. It
holds that It Is always a question of fact
In cases of this character, the law being
that equity has the power to prevent pol
lution and contamination of running
streams.
Mont Amend Insnrance Contract.
The Sons and Daughters of Protection
will have to amend Ita contracts of lusur
ance and forms of application If it desires
to avoid paying death losses to the families
of members who have taken their own
lives. The supreme court has Just affirmed
a Judgment cecured In Cherry county by
Emma E. Underwood against the order.
The decision of tbe district court In the
case of the Chicago House Wrecking com
pany against tbe Stewart Lumber company
was affirmed.
Two will cases were decided. In both of
which the validity of the wills was upheld.
They were that of John Knox from Otoe
county and Jerry C. Elliott from - Burt
county, i ,i ,
Terminal Cent pan? Mnst Pay.
The supreme court affirmed the award of
damages for $5,059 in the ease of Reed
against Omaha' Bridge and Terminal Com
pany. The company took property on which
Reed had a mortgage and the question in
volved waa whether Reed bad a right to
appeal from original mortgage.
Rank against Garvy waa a case Involving
the ownership of some land In South
I Omaha, formerly owned by Thomas Ryan,
deceased. Swift and Armour wanted the
i property and through a representative Ar
mour secured option on the land, while the
I sale was pending Swift offered more
money ror it ana the heirs accepted this
proposition. Suit arose over this. The
court held that original contract was
good.
In the esse of E. C. Hager against South
Omaha Hager got $1,000 damages In the
district court because of a fall on a side
walk. The court reversed the decision be
caure the court In instructing the Jury
omitted a material allegation that city
must hsve notice.
V. Wrzensunski against City of South
Omaha was a suit for damages. Tbe plain
tiff while going over a street v'sduct on
foot went through 'a hole, and he waa
awarded $1,500 damages. The supreme
court sustained the verdict. The city relied
on thn fact that no claim had been Died,
but the plaintiff showed that a letter had
been received bv a former city clerk.

CHADRON, Neb., Deo. 1. (Special.)
Considerable difficulty Is being experienced
during the last few days In this place in
getting a sufficient supply of coal to meet
. th Immediat demanda of th people on
. account of the refusal of the Elkhorn rall
1 road to handle coal from the Sheridan
mines loaded in Burlington car. One of
the largest coal dealers has at present a
number of csrs of coal from the Sheridan
mines at Crawford, the Junction point of
the Burlington and Elkhorn roads, which
the latter road refuses to haul to this
place, as it gives them a haul of only thirty
i miles, while If the coal had been pur
1 chased from the Olenrock mine, which
i are located on their own line. It would
; give them a haul of 175 miles In their own
cars. It is understood that an offer of 60
i cents per ton additional to regular freight
, rates for hauling the cars has been re
, fused by the company, and to relieve the
; situation the coal will have to be trans-
ferred Into Elkhorn cars or purchased
from the Glenrock mines, which are now
unable to fill their present order.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb.. Dee. 1. (Special
Telegram.) The coroner's Jury continued
Its Investigation Into the death of the
4-months'-old Baxter baby and recalled
Mrs. Baxter To the astonishment of the
Jury, coroner and officials she absolutely
denied every charge she had made against
her aged husband last Saturday and admit
ted that what she hsd ssld on Saturday
was wrong. She proved herself Incompetent
to testify, being very weak-minded. She
did not know how long she had been mar
ried, nor yet bow old she was. Baxter,
placed on the stand, told practically the
same story he has told from the beginning.
He Is nearly 70 years of age and of more
tban ordinary intelligence.
The testimony of tbe woman today re
moves every particle of evidence against
him, and his attorneys will move to have
his sentence of ten years set aside. Baxter
was, on Saturday night, finally Induced to
plead guilty to manslaughter, but did so
protesting that he was Innocent. Judge
Thompson on Sunday ordered the negro re
tained here until a further Investigation
could be made. The verdict of the Jury waa
that the baby had come to Its death by
smothering, but whether accidentally or by
malicious cause the Jurors were unable to
determine.

What Is Said of It.
"It Is without a peer In the whole noble army of encyclopaedias."
LYMAN ABBOTT. I). I.
"Tbe Encyclopaedia Britannica Is king of Its trlble." PROF. DAVID
SWING. . ,.
"The most useful reference book for young or old Is the Encyclopaedia
H'ltni)tiU a. Children becinnina at ten years old nnd on need Its stories of
historical, biographical, mvtholoKlcnl. elementary-scientific, natural history
Information. The eager bov can study balloons, kinds of firearms, loco
motives, habits of tho houxefiy r cockroncli. The youth may want In
formation cn subfects from geology or electricity to the settlement of the
FIJI Iflnnds, or volcanoes and earthuuakes. or o most faHcinotlng story of
Napoleon; and for the still older all the fundamental conceptions of law,
W"diclm theology, ethics, nrlology, curves nnd function, architecture, are
all the wny up, ' perhaps, to the orlcln of some fine eriltorlal on Chinese
met .lphvfics. Whether for education or Information no man who
who once has this book will ever let hlmwelf or his children bo with
out con!nnt access to It. If another deluge came mid the ark had
room for but one wectilnr book, this Is beyond any doubt the one."
