(From a Btaff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Auc 7 Sreclal )-Cle'k Rob
erta of the secretary of alate'a offl a says
that some misunderstanding hss r ri
over lila rejection of the proffered srtlcles
of Incorporation of the Omaha Electric
Light and Tower company. He says that
hla understanding la that the scope of hit
action limply extended to the corpirat'on
whose articles he had refused to file. Ha
stated that companlea organised under the
lava of foreign statea could atllt continue
to do business and no attempt wouli be
made to force them to pay the filing fei,
unless they wanted to file their artlc e
and make them of (record In the state. It
la atated that praotleVilly the only advan
tage that would arlae from such a filing
Would be to rive Nebraska lnvetors an op
portunity to examine the article of Incor
poration without the need of sending to
other states for copies, .
Attorney K. M. Moraman of Omaha, who
represents the Omaha company which was
turned down, stated that he would Insti
tute mandamus proceedings to compel the
secretary of state to file the articles.
Deputy Attorney General Brown has not
yet given any opinion on the question ln
olved, and this morning was rather retl
cent about entering Into a discussion of the i
problem before looking up the law. The
action of Clerk Roberts makes It necessary,
however, for the Omaha concern to Insti
tute mandamus proceedings.
The statement was made this morning
that the state would run up against the
constitution of the United State rhould
any attempt be made to require corpora
tions to file their articles preparatory to
doing business In the state. Section 2,1
article lv of the constitution provides that
"the cltlsens of each state shall be entitled
to all the privileges and Immunities of cltl
sens In the several states."
This section has been construed by the
supreme court to mean that no state has
the right to refuse to the cltlsens of an
other stale any of the rights or privileges
enJoyeH by the citizens of this state. The
United States supreme court has frequently
held that corporations are cltlsens ss far
as the application of the section quoted Is
concerned. This Is the tack that will be
followed by the corporation attorneys
should any attempt be made by the state
to make the filing of the articles of Incor
poration of foreign concerns obligatory.
Accede to Reqaest.
Information was received at tha execu
tive office this morning from Governor
Cummins that, the Iowa State Board of
Health had agreed unanimously to allow
the shipment of the body of Mrs. Cook
from Detroit to Nthawka, Neb. Mrs.
Cook, who was a former university stu
dent, died several weeks ago of smallpox
at DetiolL She had relatives at Nehawka,
and arrangements were made for the ship
ment of the. body to that placa for burial,
but objection was made to the shipment
of the body until the permission of the
tat authorities of Iowa could be secured,
as under the laws of that state such pro
cedure Is absolutely forbidden where the
person died of any ' contagious disease.
Governor Mickey was appeaied to by the
Nehawka relatives, and through his ef
forts the state board gave Its permission
to the relatives to take the body through
the state.
nave) a New Ma a.
A crowd of Pawns county republicans
was In Lincoln today, touting F. A. Bar
ton, county judge of Pawnea, as a candi
date for state university regent. Mr. Bar
ton will run. He now lives at Pawnea
City, was for four years deputy superin
tendent of public Instruction under Super
intendent Corbett, and for four years he
was superintendent of the Pawnee City
schools. While la Lincoln be studied law
in the university and took the bachelor's
degree.
One of the arguments which the Paw
nee county people advance for tha nomina
tlon of Mr. Barton Is that that county.
next to Lancaster, has the largest number
of stilBenta In the university. This, It Is
said, gives the county a right to demand
the selection of a Pawnee county man to
act on the Board of Regents. Though one
of tha smaller counties, from thirty to
thirty-five students register from It every
year.
. Belles Protestaatlsa.
Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts, superintendent of
tha international reform bureau at Wash
ington, Is the speaker who Is attracting
(cost attention at the Ep worth assembly
by reason of the vigor and sensational
character of his utterances. This morning
he aroused soma Interest by his remarks
upon what ha called the overlaudatlon of
the pop by Americana. He said that the
disposition to say kind and complimentary
things of tha dead had made many belle
their protestantism not only, but their
Americanism In recent utterances on the
pop, whose general excellence as a man
should not prevent us from speaking truth
In love about tha errors he represented. In
cluding not only Marlolatry and miracles
aueh as that associated with Lourdes, but
the mors serious claim that the pepe Is the
king of both church and slat in all lands.
In the one government Qod directly ap
pointed Mow aa prophet. Aaron as chief
priest and God the only king. And tha es
tablishment of monarchy In tha days of
Baul was counted an affront to God. When
Usxlah insisted in acting aa both priest

one but Christ has ever been authorised
to be prophet, priest and ktng at once.

working for him. Mr. Lederer has been
in tha office nearly four years and by light
of succession ought to have the nomination.

NEW TORK, Aug. 7. Judge Ray In ths
United States circuit court handed down
two decisions todsy overruling the demur
rers taken by George R. Indwell, when
collector of the port. In the suit of tbs
American Sugar Refining company' to re
cover duties upon certain sugars brought
from Pansy, In tha rhillppins islands, and
from Porto Rico.
The refining company sues for I3S.027, with
Interest from October 11, IN. In the mat
ter of the Philippine sugar and for 121.716 In
the Porto Rlcan sugar, with Interest from
April W, 1899. The allegations of the plsln
tlff say that the amounts were Illegally ex
acted and collected by duress of the goods.
The action was begun In the supreme
court and removed to the United States
circuit court. Collector Bldwell demurred
on the ground, In the Panay -matter, that
wheh the sugar was shipped on March 14,
1899. the Philippine Islands were foreign ter
ritory, ss Jhe tresty of Farls was not rati
fied by the Spanish authorities until March
IS and by the Washington authorities until
April 11.
Judge Ray held that:
It would seem thst merchandise Is to be
deemed Imported on the day when It arrives
st the port of entry and not before. The
demurrer of the defendant must be over
ruled with costs. So ruld.
The arguments were advanced by the col
lector and defendant In the Porto Rlcan
surar mutter snd the collector was araln
overruled. Judge Ray stating that "this
court Is of the opinion that the transports
tlon of the goods on the high sees was an
act preliminary to Importation and not any
part of the Importation. Had the vessel
with Its cargo been lost at sea. It Is clear
that the sugars would not have been Im
ported Into the United States, nor would
they have been Imported had they been
thrown overboard during stress of
weather."

and there have been some exceedingly good

from the exterior of the building and new
designs will be placed thereon. Several
thousand dollars will be expended In mak
