The lively time is prjmlsed when nn effort will be mado to do away with the time-honored custom of referring matters to tno "e.xrt.itlv committee with power to act." Tlio executive committee appointed by Chairman Ludden Is com pod or J4.iJors, C-gg anu Ludden. It lias always been the custom of Ludden to move to refer matters o the executive committee anJ give the cflmmlttee power to net. This -haa been done over th objec. tlon of Mortensen, who holds that this vlr tual'y gives to t'ree members of the board tho power delogsted to the board. This he holds Is contrary to tha statutes and he holds, further, that the board has no right to allow the executive committee, to act, no-, having the power to delegate au thorlty. . .

Letters reflecting seriously on Louis Bur molster, one of the candidates for a por tion on tha board to pass on election ma chines, have been sent to Governor Mickoy and by him shown to tho other two mem ber of the commission to select the board. One of the letters was written to a com pany which handles voting machines by Biirmeister, who It la reported by the state Ulcers asked the company for a position as Rttent, and announced In the letter that he expected to be placed on the commis sion, and therefore would have great In fluence In placing the machines of this par ticular company. The machine company, which has an office In Omaha, sent the let ter to Governor Mickey and It has been re turned to the company. The board has held no meeting and Mickey and Gulusha are now waiting for the return to the city of Auditor Searle to prt together and name the men. It Is ex-jM-cted that Searle will be here by tomor row afternoon. Burmelster Is one- of the men whoirr it wns reported Searle and Ga lusha had decided upon to be one of the members of tho commission.

FORFEIT REQUIRED OF THE DEALERS Laat Da? of Testimony I it Hearing Wahoo Developa Abont Same Line of statement aa Prevlooa Onea, WAHOO, Neb., June 9 (Special . Tele gram.) The taking of depositions In the case of the Worrall Grain Company against the Omaha Elevator Company was con cluded this afternoon, twenty-one witnesses having been examined, the testimony mak lng 235 pages In typewriting. Subpoenas were Issued for a number who had Just left home when the officer serving the sub poenas arrived and their whereabouts Is still a mystery. Trenmore Cone was the first witness called. He Identified certain records and papers and Was asked some further ques tions In cross-examination, but nothing of special Importance was elicited. Joseph Tomes of Yutan, who worked for the Omaha Elevator company at that point, testified that he was buyer for the ele vator at that place, that he maintained card prices received from Omaha, did not ride the country for grain and did not know anything about what any other grain buyer was doing. Otto Ostenbergor, living in ahoo, was In the grain business twenty-six or twenty- seven years, was a member of the Ne braska Grain Dealers' association until ho sold out and quit about a year ago. lie attended the meeting of the Grain Dealers' association at Wahoo February 15, 1901, put up a forfeit of $100 to maintain prices. Tot to store grain and not to pay the raise In price; thought other towns had the tame arrangements. After this agreement prices were maintained in Wahoo until witness went out of business and for some time after while he was working for his successors, Ewart, Wilkinson & Co. Could not tell when he got back his $100, but got It from Mr. Bewsher, secretary of the Ne braska Grain Dealers' association. Other dealers also put up a forfeit. Members of the association were not to ship to coin mission houses or commission men that made bids to track buyers or scoop shovel men; did not think that members of the association bid to track buyers If they knew it. The reason they did not make bids was to protect the regular elevator men. Ho also received bulletins from the association, concerning the Irregular grain dealers, the purport of which was to keep members of the association posted on dif ferent things. Hamilton Wti Good. The first witness this afternoon was J. B. Mather, representing J. H. Hamilton, at Colon. He got price cards, which he lived up to, did not ride the country, once in a while solicited from a friend, did not raise bids, when his bids were raised notified his employer in other words, was good. W. T. Craven, representing the Nebraska Elevator company at Valparaiso, stated that slips were made out of nil grain bought for some time, but that practice was dis continued. Didn't know whether there, was a division of grain or not. Gets price cards. There Is no competition at his station and has not been for four years except three or four times for a short time. Charles Murfln works for the Duff Grain company at Ithaca, received the cards containing prices, but does not always live up to them. Sometimes his competitor over bids and he does the same In retaliation. Gets his cards and prices fforri! allsback Bros. A. F. Hawkins, who works for Railsback Bros., testified about the same as the rest. J. H. Hoetorf is operating an elevator at Malmo; gets card prices, but does not live up to them; has had a great deal of trouble with his competitors; has made numerous agreements with his competitors, the last one In December. He violated the agree ments himself, because he believed there was a higher authority In Nebraska than his competitors In the grain business to set the price, and he paid very little attention to It. REVOLUTIONISM N THE SAND HILLS Conarreeeman Kinkald fees a New Era for Country. NORFOLK, Neb., June 29. (Special.) "Brpme grass Is going to revolutionize the sandy country of western Nebraska, and will make It a 100 per oent better oountry," said Congressman Moses P. Kinkald of the big Sixth district, author of the section homestead law, and who has Just been out over the territory to Investigate the progress. of the grasses which the gov ernment has planted In the northern part of the cattle raising section of the state as an experiment. "Grass will make a new country of west ern Nebraska. A grass that mats the sand together and at the same time grows high enough for hay, will make It a dif ferent territory. Brome grass is doing this. Alfalfa Is growing well, too, but It Is not the success In the sand that the brome grass Is. We are preaching to the con stituents that grass Is vital because all flesh, after all, is grass. With grass, the section homesteads which have Just recently been taken, will make wonderful ranches. And the gov ernment has now solved the problem." CHAMBERLAIN CASE GOES TO JURY No Verdlrt Reached Last Night n . Bnnk-W rerklugr C'harsce. TEOUMSEH. Neb., June 29. (Special Telegram.)

Mortensen out of his home last Thurs day night and giving him fifty-two stripes for wlfebeatlng and abuse. According to the testimony, Mortensen has been In the habit of doing this sort of thing whenever he got under the influence of John Bar leycorn, which happens quite frequently. As he has been brought Into court more than or.ee and It apparently had no effect upon him, the surrounding residents de cided to take things into their own hands. Accordingly, on Thursday of last week, whan he drew a knife on bis wife and the frightened woman had to wade a swollen stream in order to escape, and was taken to her son-in-law's by C. T. Tarieton, who happened to be driving by, a quiet meet ing was held and between 11 and 12 o'clock tha above program was carried out.

Tarlewn, George .WUtJftuos, 0 Eron and Ray Wells. Charles Kldd. F. J. Doty, Ran Sargent. Ed Powers and E. JerTord.
