County Knstlneer Lin Invalid.
The county engineer law was declared un
constitutional today In an opinion written
by Commissioner Letton of the supreme
court. The suit originated In Lancaster
county. At a former heating of the court
It was held that mo warranto was not the
proper remedy under the circumstances.
At this hearing the question was whether
or not the law of 1900. chapter 32, page 2.
session laws of 1303, by which the county
surveyor was made ex-officlo engineer Is
In violation of the constitution. The court
says it Is clear that the act is a violation
of section 15. article III. of the constitution,
which prohibits the passage of local or spe
cial laws regulating county and township
offices, and further provides that In all
cases where a general law can be made ap
plicable no special law shall be enacted.
The act of tt legislature which regulates
a county office and which by Its terms
llmlte Its operation to counties having a
population of 50,Ono "according to the census
of 19o0," the court holds is local and spe
cial In Its application, since It can never
apply to any other counties than the two
which were In the. claw at the time of
the passage of the act. The act applied
to Lancaster and Douglas counties only.

Alfred Moline. twice convicted of fraud
ulently securing the names of Frederick
Kraph and his wife to a deed to property
valued at 12,500, will have to serve out his
sentence of two years and four months in
the penitentiary, the supreme court today
having affirmed the decision of the lower
court. The case was once before in the
supreme court and rehearing;' stfas granted.
It came up from Phelps coun(,yand the
defense argued that section 125 of the
criminal code under which the Information
was fled was unconstitutional. becau.e
the title failed to cover the body of the
law The court held the section was con
stitutional. John D. Smith, who with James Gaughsn,
was convicted In tho Douglas county court
of having assaulted one Henry :terman in
an attempt to rob him of 36 cents, has been
convicted also in the supreme court and
will have to go to the penitentiary. The
defense argued In drawing the Indictment
the words of the statute were not used.
In his opinion Chief Justice Holcomb held
that If words equivalent to the words used
In the statutes were in the indictment the
information would be uphe'd.
Tito Get Sew Trial.
E. L. Ferguson, convicted In Clay ccunty
of having received stolen property knowing

burglary and on a second count of having
received stolen property. On th nn.t
count he was found not guilty and on the
second he was convicted. The supreme
court reVia tided the case.
The supreme court today reversed the
decision of the Cedar county district court
which sentenced Alexander Blair to th-j

Anton Boaac, harness dealer, announced
yesterday thit he had received a good
supply of Roosevelt and Fairbanks and
Parker and Davis watch fobs, It wss only

he had sold the last watch fob of the re
publican candidates. Councilman John
McKay walked In and asked for a Roose
velt and Fairbanks tag, and. then Boaac's
political dander was up to the highest
notch. Said Boaac, "This is the worst
town I ever saw. I have sold only three
of the Parker and Davis tags, and the
whole lot of the Roosevelt and Fairbanks
batch is gone."
"Why, man a live," said McKay, "If you
have sold three you have glutted the mar.
ket," and the front entrance was too small
to let McKay through quick enough, with
the Parker and Davis adherent close on his
heels. Orders on hand for the Roosevelt
and Fairbanks tags will absorb the ad

"I.Ike thousands of my comrades, the
hardships nnd exposure of campaigning
completely undermined my constitution
and planted In my system the seeds of fu
ture disease. My throat and lungs gave me
considerable anxiety, nnd shortly after the
close of the war developed chronic bronchi
tis and consumption, in vain I tried all the
usual remedies. Nothing did me any good
until I commenced on Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey. The effect was marvelous. At
once I begnn to pick up. and was soon en
tirely cured. I heartily recommend your
snlendld medicine to any one who Is run
down, weak or nervous, or who has any
disease or throat or lunns. It cures when
nil else falls." Kronk Myers, Commander

WORK OF THE A. IE. CHURCH
Missionary and Educational Fields Oct
Night at the Conference.
NEGRO URGED TO BE A MAN AMONG MEN
Speakers Tell of What Has Been Done
and of What May Be Accom
plished Through Chris.
tlan ICd Mention.
The contemplated program at the African
Methodis. Episcopal church last evening,
which was originally Intended to be ex
clusively an edueationffl program, was
changed to a missionary and educational
program combined. The missionary sermon
was preached by Rev. J. J. Pleasant of
Ttxas, from the text of "Go ye Into ali the
world and preach the. gospel to every
creature.". The . speaker eald: "Those
churches which exercise the missionary
spirit at home and nbrosJ are the most
prosperous in their work. The gospel traces
the word of Providence from the creation
to the salvation of man; It begins with
Eden and ends with the Revelations. It
commands us to effort and work for the
sake of humanity. It points us to the open
door of heaven, where Christ and the
angels bid us welcome for His name's
sake."
Prof. Lovengood of Austin, Tex., an ac
cidental visitor in. tho city, was the next
speaker and told of the early struggles of
the Austin African Methodist Episcopal
school and Its subsequent success. Prof.
Lovengood s1d: "The question of our de
velopment lies with ourselves. As colored
men we cannot overcome the race prejudice
against us. Christian education Is the
most Important thing for the negro race.
Whatever hns been the past of the negro
race, let every negro of today determine
himself to be the founder of a royal race.
Back of every great enterprise is a man.
Be one of those n. n who create great en
terprises. It lies with us to do great things
for ourselves. The problem of the race
question In the south is different from what
It Is here In the north. Yet we ore doing
much there and expect to do more. There
we are contending against an almost Inef
faceable prejudice, yet we are succeeding
in conquering much of that prejudice. Our
Christian schools are the most potent fac
tors In doing this, and with God's help we
will do much more."
Importance of Little Things.
Bishop Grant In his address on "Little
Things" spoke of the prevailing weakness
of the negro race, especially of certain
negro ministers who had a tendency to
preach with big words, vainly presuming
their use to be an Indication of learning,
when In fact they were confessions of
Ignorance. He said: "The greatest speak
ers are those who use the simplest
language that can be understood of ell
men. While In some communities the
prejudice against the negro race Is vanish
ing, especially where Christian education
Is gaining a foothold, yet my observation
Is that today the prejudice against the
negro race is stronger than It was fifteen
years ago. We must Judge of our strength
by the opposition that we have. It is be
cause we are beginning to enter those fields
from which we were once barred In com
petition with others who claimed these
fields as exclusive to themselves. Both In
times of war;and( peace we have done
something for this land, and we propose
to stay here and fnjoy It. I have seen
many a $50 suit of clothes on a 60-cent man.
There are some good people In the south
and many of my best friends are In the
southern state.s."
The meeting closed with an appeal for
subscriptions to the missionary cause, to
which very liberal responses were made
