It Is with considerable ahxlety that- the people In this part of the state are await ing the decision of the supreme court com missioners regarding the constitutionality f the revenue law enacted by the late legislature. Owing to the Importance of the matter, it Is more than likely that the commissioners will take the full time al lowed, and not make a report until the next sitting of the court If this Is done, f course another day would havo to be set for the discussion before the supreme eourt In order to give the attorneys In the ease an opportunity to prepare their briefs. While there are many who fear the out come of the suit, believing that It will be the wind-up of the aew law, over which to many weary, nights and days were pent. Governor Mickey Is one of the op timistic kind. "It would be little short 'of the wonderful If a law like that was enacted vlthout there being some flaws In It that would require the courts to straighten out. But even If some of tho sections are found to be unconstitutional, that may not altect the entire law, and in my opinion the law in the main will be found all right. And even If the entire law ls'knonked out, we till have the old law to fall back on, and ths next law makers will know how" to avoid the mistakes made In this ono." The governor .refused to state whether he would call an extra session of the legis lature to frame a new law If this one was knocked out. "I will await the decision ( the court," he said, "before worrying about the extra session." Widow saea tor Property. ' In Judge Frost's court this morning a; 0ttle, old, faded German woman sat, on. - torn witness stand all day, telling In a tear-' nil voice of how she came into her sitting room last March and saw her husband sit ting on tbe floor dying and of the trouble the two .had gone through because of the Interference of her son-in-law. She was Mrs. Henry Buettggenbach and she is try trig to save of her husband's estate sum Blent to keep her the remainder of her lays. Those who are opposing her are her lea children, to whom the husband and father gave all his money at la death, cut ting oft the widow and one daughter with l dollar each.- The estate la valued at about 18,000. The woman told how forty-six years ago the and her husband settled near Lincoln on the unbroken prairie and that while her husband drove the first plow In this part ttf the country she planted corn. Soon her husband tired of turning over the new soil, he said, and she began to do all the work and he began to make frequent trips to places where liquor could be secured and that during all the forty-six years both had kept elt to their work. In the meantime he found time to rear eleven children, all Of whom are married now. Some lime ago ' ne daughter and her husband, Henry Ger hlg. moved to the farm, paying rent there .rfor and allowing the old folks to live with them. Than was when the real trouble be gan.

The governor, however, re fused to Interfere with the court's decree at this time and the sheriff was told to bring on the prisoner and he would serve the state while the governor made a per sonal Investigation. Nothing to Do with Onesatng. The Hastings people who wanted to start a guessing contest with prizes to the best j guessers, win not do so by permission of the State Banking board, because the board decided this afternoon that It had no Juris diction In the matter. The scheme was to organize a company with a capital stock of $00,000 and the people were to pay so much a guess at the number of people who attended the St. Louis fair on the first day. A capital prize of $10,000 headed the list and besides there were these prizes:, one $1,000; fifty $100 each; one hundred $30 each; ICO $10 each and 700 $6 each. Three monthly prizes of $500 each were to be given. The board acted upon the advice of Attorney General Prout who said It had no Jurisdic tion In the matter. The Board of Educational Lands and Funds this afternoon accepted the ap praisement of the Howard county lands, passed on some bills and transacted regu lar routine business. Boys Fail to Retora Rone. YORK.. Neb., , Nov. 10. (Special.) The Lincoln police captured the two runaway boys from York, Lester Wiley and Donald McDonald who were kept over night and owing to their youth were' placed In car of the police matron. Each on being searched had a revolver In his possession and when questioned as to who they were and where they came from, neither would tell. When Information was received by the police from York about two runaways, the boys weakened and seemed very peni tent, promising If furnished tickets they would return home where they wanted to go. They were put on the first train to York, and nothing more has been heard from them. Somewhere between here and Lincoln, they left the train. They are the sons of respectable well to do parents who are anxious to learn their whereabouts. Independent Telephone Conference. FREMONT. Neb., Nov. 10. (Special.) About twenty-five representatives of in dependent telephone companies in eastern and southeastern Nebraska met here this afternoon for the purpose of perfecting plans for better service and .more perfect co-operation among the different Independ ent companies. Over forty towns can be reached by the lines of these companies. At present there is no fixed schedule of toll rates. All the companies report an Increasing demand for connections with outside towns and their local business In a satisfactory condition. The eastern part of the state is now so well covered by the Independent companies that with a satisfactory arrangement for interchange of business they will very soon prove a strong competitor with the Bell company.

C.reaory t'onntr Indian !ands. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON. Nov. 10.-(Speclal Tele gt am.) There Is a disposition on the part of the Nebraska delegation, that Is the repub lean members, to meet In friendly consultation and If possible bring about unanimity of action looking to legislation In which the state Is Interested. Represen tative Bjrkett, who Is the senior member of the delegation. Is naturally expected to call his colleagues together. It developed today that an effort was made several times during the summer to get the mem bers of the lower house from Nebraska to gether for a conference, particularly with a view of agreeing upon committee assign ments. Business, courts and other matters Interfered, however, with the meetings and tho new members from Nebraska never met as had been planned. Now the new members are at sea. All of them naturally desire advantageous committee assign ments, but when two or more are asking for the same place somebody Is bound to get left. This Is Nebraska's position. It Is anticipated that Speaker Cannon will be -very conservative In hie committee as signments, looking to his lieutenants to aid him In deciding upon the relative merits of rival candidates for the same place. In order to present a united front the Ne braska members contemplate getting to gether this week with a view of agreeing upon the committee places Nebraska of right should obtain, In view of the changed conditions over that in the Fifry-seventh congress. Then there were four democrats and two republican. Now the delegation stands live republicans ami one democrat, a percentage of gain which haa not been exceeded by any other state. Mondell to Get Chairmanship. The appointment of Representative Reeder of Kansas as chairman of the house committee on mileage practically assures the appointment of Congressman Mondell of Wyoming, as chairman of the committee on irrigation. Reeder was the ranking re publican member of the latter committee and expected to tecure the chairmanship, but having heen given one chairmanship he cannot expect another. Mondell being the next ranking member, will now. In all probability, succeed to the chairmanship of Irrigation. Wants More Money for Indians. Representative Burke called on Indian Commissioner Jones this afternoon and had an extended conference with that official relative to his bill looking to the opening of some 500,000 acres of land In Gregory county. South Dakota. Mr. Burke pro posed that the government pay the Indians a lump sum for their lands based upon a valuation of $2.50 per acre.

He had been to town snd had received his pension. He had some transactions at the bank and had a check cashed.

Neb., Nov. 10. (Spe cial.) Lee Herdman, clerk of the supreme court, has another guess or two coming.

Thle had hardly disappeared when another one of a vivid crimson color, although smaller, sped along In Its track, followed very closely by a small one. It was not known at first how to account for the spectacle, but the opinion Is that they were meteors. Battle Creek Business Changes. BATTLE CREEK, Neb.. Nov. 10.-(8p-clal.)

It Is a secret formula, and while it has cured millions of people during the last half century, the secret has never been discovered. Dr. William Hooker Vail, one of the leading physicians and surgeons of St. Louis, Mo., writes enthusiastically about what Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey has done for himself per sonally and his patients : Gentlemen i Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey wis Introduced to ma through a consumptive patient whom I was treating. I called on her one afternoon after an absence of about two months and remarked that she was so much Improved. ' I inquired after medicaments, etc., and she stated that she had been using nothing but good food and plenty of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. Her improvement was so marked that I went directly and purchased it for several other patients suffering similarly, and In a short time they all expressed decided improvement, and from personal observation and physical examination there was great improvement in the lung tissue. Two who had Laryngeal Consumption ((onsumption of the throat) are now entirely well. I am employing it extensively now in my practice, In La Grippe, Pneumonia, Bronchitis, Anaemia (Inanition or Marasmus), starvation from lack of assimilation of food, etc.j always in convalescents.
