(From a. Starr Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Dec. ..- Special. -8tte offi
cials are much alarmed over the rte-lton
tit the supreme court In the rase of the
Vldellty snd Depo.'lt Company against
LMbby. holding that fruftrsnty bonds are not
valid, since several prominent attorneys of
the dty have declared the decision win re
sult In vsrstlne; the offlcs of all officials
who failed to file personal bonds two years
ago. Only Superintendent Foster. Land
Commissioner Follmer snd Beoretary of
Rtate Marsh filed Such bond, and It Is de
clared that all the remaining offices are
vacant according t a technical construc
tion of tha statutes and the recent decision
together. The sUitute provides a limited
time In which bonds may be filed, and it Is
claimed now that the Mine; of an lnnltd
bond has the effect of leaving the office
Vbcant. M.iny county officials who gave
Ituuds of guaranty companies are also af
fected. In addition It la contended that every
count official who filed a guaranty bond a
year ago Is now out of office because of
tha failure to comply with the terms of sec
tion IE, chapter x, of the Compiled Blstutes.
which on the failure to file the bond makes
ths office Ipso facto vacant. That section
reads ns follows:
Tf an person elected or appointed to any
offl'-e shall neglect to have his official bond
executed and approved as required by law
n filed for record within the time limited
by this act his office shall thereupon Ipso
facto become vacjitit. and such vacancy
sIihII thereupon be filled ly election or ap
liointment as the law may direct in other
cases of vacancy In the same office.
All ths county officers, with the exception
tif county attorneys, were elected at ths
general election a year sgo. The following
statute fixes the time for the filing of their
iHinds:
Official bonds, with the oath endorsed
thereon, shall be) filed In the proper office
within the time as follows: ji ail onicers
elected at any general election on or before
the Mrs Thursday after the first Tuesday
In January next succeeding the election: of
II appointed officers within thirty days
after their appointment; of officers elected
t any special election, and city and vil
lage officers within thirty days alter the
ranvass ot the votes -of the election at
w hich they were chosen.
The allowing officials to give guarantee
bonds has been held Invalid In the follow
ing terms used by Commissioner Ames In
the syllabus of the case referred to:
The act of IMS, entitled "An act to facili
tate the giving of bonds, undertakings and
recognisances and to authorise the ac
ceptance of certain eorporatlons as surety
thereon, and to repeal all acts end parts
of acts In conflict herewith." Is Ineffectual
as an amendment or repeal of chapter x
of ths Compiled Statutes, entitled "Bonds
and and oaths. offliJal." or to dispense with
personal sureties upon official bonds as re
quired by that chapter,
Maay Offices May Be Vacated.
In view of the statute and the decision of
ths court holding the guaranty law Invalid,
It la believed that there are grave doubts
as to the tenure of many state and county
officers. It Is feared that many of the
official acts .may be subjected to attack in
the courts on the ground)' that the persons'
acted without authority.
The suggestion is frequently heard that
the governor could reappoint the state offi
cials who are affected, but It Is pointed
out that he, too, filed a guaranty bond
two years ago and Is In the same situation.
Lieutenant Governor McQllton, also gnva
ai guaranty bond, so thst the acting gov
crnor, if the attorneys are light. Is W. H.
11. Harrison of Hall county, .-who Is presi
dent pro. tern, of the state senate, and on
Mm will devolve the duty of making the
appointments for the Interim lasting until
next Thursday, if any are made. Governor
Mickey has filed a personal bond for his
next term beginning January S.
In some Instances county commissioners
havs all given such bonds, It Is said, and
there will b no appointive power to fill the
lacsa of the other county officials whose
offices become vacant Ipso facto. Lancas-
er county officials, except County Clerk
"Walt Pawson and County Attorney Cald
well, gave guaranty bonds. All the com
missioners also gave guaranty bonds, so
that under the Interpretation placed on the
statute and the decision of the supreme
court this county may be practically with
out officials until the next election rolls
tuouud.
Will Seek to Pile Personal Bond.
Supreme Court Clerk Lindsay has been
duluged with applications for copies of" the
opinion of the court. Muny officials are
taking steps to file personal bonds In an
effort to comply with Its terms.
It U said that Commissioner Ames, who
wrote the opinion, takes the view that all
oniclala now in office muat have personal
bonds. .
Norrls Brown, deputy attorney general,
eays that the bonds In guaranty companies
4111 serve to protect the state, although he
Is not so sure as to their effect under the
terms of the section declaring the office va
cant for failure to Mis a bond. He utated
that he believed personal bonds might be
filed, although he hopes to see tike legisla
ture adopt a vlld act providing fur the
use of guaranty bonds, which arc regarded
as safer and leas liable to put an official
under undue obligations to his friends.
Mortensen to Give Personal Basil,
State Treasurer Mortenaen was in mood
to resign when he was told by the governor
that a personal bond would be required, but
today he has practically concluded to se
cure a personal bond until the legislature
pees a valid set. which will permit him
ills a guaranty bond. Because of the
railway litigation the amount of money
which he will have in his charge during the
next thiry days will not be great and It Is
believed that a S0O.0O bond will suffice. His
Jtresent bond Is for tl.000.Oio.
Mr. Viortensen is very much oppoaeil U
the personal bond, which places an offUlul

latter for lack of time in which to have
the necessary papers executed st the vari
eus eastern offices of the companies, flteps
were taken several days ago to execute
the m-w bond, but that work Is useless
since the ruling of the supreme court has
been put Into effect by the governor.
Peeking? Bonosasen.
Several tther offlrials-sleet at the state
house had made arrangements for a guar
anty bond, and today they were skirmish
ing around seeking sureties. It is regarded
as fortunate thst the governor's attention
was called to the matter so soon, as some
of the officials would hsve been In a seri
ous predicament had thay been obliged to
secure sureties a day of two before the
Inauguration. Governor Mickey wired offi
cials who were out of town.
Among the appointive officials who hsve
been giving guaranty bonds are Supreme
Court Clerk Lindsay and Private Secretary
Allen. The case which Is the cause of all
the trouble will come up for rehearing In
the supreme court. It Is said thst many
of the officials affected will take an active
Interest In the litigation In an effort to con
vince the court that the decision la defec
tive. .
City officials say that If the decision Is
allowed to stsnd saloon bonds are Invalid,
because they are all executed by the
barred companies under the terms of the
set which has been held Invalid. It Is
stated, however, that the companies will be
liable on the bonds because having sccepted
the premiums they are estopped from set
ting up the invalidity of the law as a de
fense. It Is believed that the Invalidity of
the bonds will lay the saloon Interests open
to revocation of licenses. Every saloon In
Lincoln gave bond of, the character placed
under the ban by the court.
Only a few of the city officials gave bonds
signed by guaranty companies, snd they
are now seeking personal bonds also.
qnestlsn Jurisdiction.
Judge Holmes heard arguments today
upon the proposition that the action of the
State Board of Health In revoking certln
tates of doctors Is final and not appealable
from. Over a month ago the board re
voked the certificates of Dr. Walker of
Newman Grove and Dr. Hunk of Llndsey
because of violations of the law. From
this action of the board the two physicians
appealed to the district court. To this ap
peal a denial was entered that the cour has
no Jurisdiction to hear any such appeal.
Judge Post of Columbus and M. F. Har
rington of O'Neill represented the doctors,
and It. C. Vail of Albion and H. F. Rose of
Lincoln the state board. Judge Post con
tended that It was possible to appeal from
the decision of any Inferior tribunal, while
Mr. Vail Insisted that the state board was
the final arbiter In rases of this character.
Mr. Vail neatly turned Judge Post's ar
gument by quoting from one of his de
ctalons upon the supreme bench. In which
he denied Dr. Hay, formerly of the Lincoln
asylum, a hearing to contest his removal
by Governor Holcomb.
Mr. Rose took the ground that as between
the three co-ordinate branches of the gov
ernment there can be no Interference one
with the other, and that to give the courts
the right to final decision of cases coming
purely within the right of the 8tate Board
of Health, "composed of executive offices,
would be a violation of this constitutional
right of freedom from Interference.
Dismantles Factory.
The Nutional Biscuit company, known as
the Cracker trust, today started to dis
mantle Its Lincoln factory. The Institution
wna .closed several months ago, but at the
time It was strenuously Insisted that It was
but a temporary move. The building has
been sold to the Lincoln Hardware company
and will be used as a warehouse hereafter.
The machinery will be shipped to Omaha,
which, will' "be . the ' baking center of. the
state. A distributing house will be main
tained here, however.
Will Wage a Dry Casasalaru.
The Law and Order league of the city,
which is championed by Rev. Samuel Z.
Batten, pastor of the First Baptist church,
announces today that It will wage a cam
paign against the Issuance of licenses to
sell liquor In Lincoln during tha coming
year.
Tfcip,uestlon, under the law. may be sub
mitted at any city election, if certain for
malities are followed. The lesgue gives as
a reason that the liquor men have not
obeyed the laws in the past and that they
meddled In the campaign two years ago for
the purpose of foisting a bad administra
tion upon the city, getting a reduction of
the license fee from fl.tflO to $1,000 a year
as their share of the spoils.
The lesgue has been meditating this ac
tion for some time, and will at once begin
an active campaign. Three years sgo tha
same question was submitted and came
'within sixty-seven votes of carrying.

after this was done the railroad company
