LINCOLN", Net.., Ic. 21.-fBrclal Tcle
Rram.) The stiprtni court lui declared
valid the art or 161 forbidding railroad
rompanlra to charge more for a short haul
than a long hauL The court holds that this
act, whlrh I aeparnte and distinct from
the act known as the maximum freight rate
law. la within legislative discretion and Is
valid.
In the caae of the Chicago. Burlington &
Uiiincy against Albert And'Tson. error
from Kearney county, the railroad attacked
th" law on the ground that the tltlo was
defective" In that it contained more than
one aubject. The court holds that the
title "An act to fix a maximum standard
cf freight charges on rallroada and to pre
vent unjust discrimination therein, or
liecret rates, rebates or drawbacks there
fore," contains only ona subject.
The defendant operates a line of railroad
from Curtis eastward through Axtell to
Mlnden. In the winter there are Ice fields
at Curtis from which people both at Ax
tell and Mlnden may be supplied, but at
tlie latter place alone Is there competi
tion with another railroad. In order to
rueet such competition," so that Curtis Ice
will be purchased for consumption at Mln
den, It became necessary to transport It
between the last two named places dur
ing the winter of 1902, for a freight charge
of 3 cents per 100 pounds, which the de
fendant did continuously In the months nf
January and February of that year. Dur
ing the same months the company trans
ported Ice from Curtis to Axtell for the de
fendant In error, Anderson, fur which ser
vice It demanded and received compensa
tion at tbe rata of 4 centa per l' pounds.
The difference In distance Is ten miles In
favor of Axtell. This action was brought
by Anderson to recover the difference of
1 cent 100 pounds between the charge made
against him and the rate In force at the
ham time between Curtis and Mlnden.
There was a Judgment for the plaintiff In
n. Justice court, and afterward In appeal
in the district eourt and the defendant be
low prosecuted error.
Widow beta Insurance.
The supreme court baa reversed the de
cision of the lower court in the case
wherein lira. Elizabeth Ilardlnger brought
ullt apalnst the Modern Brotherhood of
America for 13,000, the amount of a policy
rarrleo by her husband in the lodge. The
lodge claimed that Hardinger had com
mitted suicide and for that reason his
policy waa void. Hardinger was found
dead In a park In Chicago and It was sup
posed at that time that he had shot hlm
yelf. and as a motive the police of that city
found that lie had been discharged from
the Overton (Nob.) bank, of which he waa
cashier, for being short In his accounts.
The court held that tt was necessary for
the defendants to prove conclusively that
the man had killed himself, and this had
not been done.
C ity Caa Grant Franchise.
The supreme court, in deciding In favor of
the Interstate Telephone Company aguinst
George W. Clark, who sought by injunction
to prevent the company from securing a
franchise from South Omaha to Install a (
tcleptootnf my stem," has this to aay In the
syllabus:
A taxpayer of a city cannot maintain a
suit to provent the city from granting a
franchise to a leiepnone company unless
the franchise constitutes such wrongful
squandering or surrendering of the money
or property of the city that taxation would
be Increased thereby.
The remedy to set aside a franchise Ir
regularly or fraudulently granted, where
the party to whom It had been granted. Is

state and not by an equitable action at the
suit of private parties.
The lower court Is upheld.
Roast of Allen Mands.
The little roast handed to former Senator
Allen by the supreme court is still a por

mont case and to have the records ex
punged. Holds Election Board for Costs.
When members of an election" board re

of power of the court burning. This Is the
decision of the court in the casa of Wil

The case originated In 1894 In the village of
Gothenburg at an election of members of
the boasd of trustees of the village. Be
fore the votes had been canvassed John
Strajley began a proceeding In the county

Railroad Refnacs to Furnish Cars to
Farmers to Ship Grain.
MINDEN, NelJ., Dec. 21. iSpeclal.) The
Fanners' association of Newark Is having
a bard time to get shipping accommoda
tions from the B. & M. railroad and if they
cannot got them any other way, propose to
test the law, whleh In other Instances has
obtained results. The situation is this:
Newark is a small station on. the B. & M ,
Just across the I'latte river south, in Kear
ney county, and about half way between
Minden, the eounty seat of Kearney county,
and the city of Kearney, the county seat of
Buffalo county. The time was when
Newark was of enough Importance on the
B. & M. map to maintain a station at that
point, with an agent employed to look
after Its business, but for some reason
It was closed as a regular station, and after
It had been closed for a time the depot
burned down, since which time It has sim
ply been a sort of tall to the B. & M.
business, which might be done at the city
of Kearney. A regular elevator Is run
ning there, owned and managed by a
man who lives In Kearney.
The farmers have organised a farmers'
shipping association and want to ship their
own grain and stock, but are handicapped
because the B. A M. Railroad company
will not furnish them cars. The elevator
man has no trouble getting cars, but there
are none for the farmers. These farmers
have what is known as a bovel house,"
and are prepared to load oars in a reason
able length of time, and so far as this
branch Is concerned, in Just as good time
for shipment as the elevator. They have
at present time more than 3,000 bushels of
grain In their house, ready for shipment,
but no cars can.be obtained, while side
tracks all along the line are filled with
empty box cars. ,
There are nearly 100,000 bushels of splen
did grain in the hands of farmers in this
neighborhood ready for shipment when
they can get cars, and if the B. A M. peo
ple will not furnish them they propose to
test the provisions of the law.
