In the offlco of the attorney general, a consultation was held between Attorney Ueneral Norrls Brown, Former Chief Jus tice Sullivan and Attorney Howell of Omaha. Tom Worrall, who be nan the fight on the trust With hie suit for damage, was present. The purpose of the meeting, beyond a general discussion of the cane and the evidence, was not divulged, al though there was an Intimation by Sullivan In regard to the possibility of prosecutions for contempt ,of the restraining order. In speakltitc of the time which the state has for the preparation of the case, he said to a reporter that it might come up sooner than September IS, the return day for the writ, if a Judga of the supreme court were In the state. Later he ex plained that be had referred to summary proceedings for contempt. Further than that he would not fo. Attorney General H"ws declined to state whether or not any violations of the order preventing the acceptance of rebates, controlling prices, and destroying competition had been vio lated. There Is, however, considerable speculation -as to the emergency which drew the four men together, and It Is pointed out that the utmost secrecy would be, maintained If contempt proceedings are contemplated against any of the grain men, since nothing can be done until a member of the supreme court returns to the state. Worrall, who was present at the conference, Is alleged to have Inside lrr formatlon Which might enable him to pro vide the evidence of violations of the order, especially smce his firm I still In business. Chief Justice Holeomb Is expected back shortly after September 1. Ufate Prohibition roarentton. Today .the state prohibition convention met at the- Auditorium, with 160 delegates in attendance. The convention Is claimed to have been the largest and most enthu siastic of recent years. It developed at the meeting that a general eampalgn Is being quietly rarrled en throughout the state by the members of the party. One of the most effective means In use Is the circula tion of pledges to vote for tha ticket. It Is claimed that It Is an easy matter to get signers because they do not bind until the party has a majority of the voters signed tip, and the votera sign without any hesi tation. The prohibitionists count on the ease of obtaining these pledges to give them the requisite majority of 'voters which will lead to the .placing of a ticket In the field and general call on the signers to support the nominee. 1'lana are under way for a school nense and literary campaign and $5.0110 has been raised for the purpose to sslst In maintaining organisers.

Plans for a new Irrigation project which will Involve the expenditure of $150,000 have been filed In the office of the State Board of Irrigation by persona residing In Chey enne and Kimball counties. It Is planned to construct reservoirs along the Lodge pole creek to catch the winter and flood waters with which, it Is claimed, 10.000 acres of land can be irrlrated without Interfering with the existing water rights, Attempt at Kidnaping;. Jamea M. Gray, who was recently di vorced from his wife, was arrested this aft ernoon after an exciting chase by Police man Boegh and landed in the station on the charge of having attempted to kidnap his C-year-old daughter, Ruth. A call came to the station about 2 o'clock stating that a man was attempting to steal a child. Tha man was running south on Ninth street with the screaming girl In his arms, pur sued by the mother and a mob of men and women crying vengeance. The policeman captured the man and lodged him In the city jail, while the child was returned to the mother who had, by the end of the chase, become hysterical. ' Militiamen I nder Arrest. When the Lincoln Light Infantry started for the camp of Instruction at Kearney today Private Roy Davey, a plumber, was taken along under guard, charged with vio lation of his military duties by refusing to go with the company. Yesterday, ac cording to Plumber F. C. Phillips, for whom the man works, a detail of six men under a sergeant, sent by order of the adjutant general, went to Twenty-second and Wash ington streets, where the man was work ing and placed him under arrest. Phillips said that he had three other men In his employ who are members of the guard. Recently he told them that they could not remain In his employ and go to camp, as their absence would seriously Interfere with his business. Because he did not want to lose his place, Davey re fused to obey the command of the first lieutenant to attend the muster of Company F for the trip to the instruction camp at Kearney. It Is stated that there is no question as to the right of the command ing officer of a company to order the arrest of any member of the command who falls to respond to a call for active duty, whether In the field for active service or merely for the purpose of Instruction. When called out Into service for Instruc tion the National Guard is regarded as a part of the regular army and subject to the same regulations. Reoently Adjutant General Culver addressed several letters to employers of militiamen asking them to al low them to attend the camp. Politics and Itella-lon. "I am talking politics now," said Rev. Stephen J. Herben to the Epworth leaguers this morning. "This country needs a re vival of righteousness, more than It does a revival of religion." , .' ,, 1 . The speaker was talking about the mag nificent opportunities that were offered to the league for work In different lines, re ligious and moral. He digressed after telling of the oppor tunities for carrying the work of Christ Into the slums of the big cities and to the heathen in far off lands and gave the youn.r people a strong talk along the paths of civic purity and business Integrity, He eulogized President Roosevelt for his stand for a square deal and also com mended the work of Governor Hoch In Kansas, La Follette in Wisconsin, Folk In Missouri and Mickey in Nebraska, He declared that members of the Ep worth league must get In politics. The sa loons were in politics and they were a foul blot on the country. He declared that the saloon existed in all Its hldeouanesa be cause Christian people let it live. He re ferred to Nebraska and pleaded with his audience to clean out tha saloons through the ballot. "Our beloved county never will be purged of corruption until every Christian man, backed by the glorious womanhood of the nation, deposits his ballot against the sa loon," he Insisted with passionate earnest ness. Lets Contract fop Malford. Today the State Board of Public Lands and Buildings let c contract for a net. boiler at the Mllford Industrial home for $3,487.50 to Howard Burns and company. Governor Mickey and the members of the board authorised the creation of a" de ficiency owing to the fact that the legisla tive appropriation had been Insufficient to provide for a new boiler to take the place of the one now In use, which has been condemned. The members of the Board of Public Lands and Buildings say hat there was nothing else to do. Treasurer Morten sen had demanded of his colleagues, how ever, that the Institution, which now has sixteen Inmates, be closed up. In addition to women there are fifteen Infants. The treasurer proposes to remove the Inmates to some other Institution. rnlveraltr Student at Panama. Linn Huntington, a former State uni versity student, who left less than a year ago to accept a position as civil engineer on the Panama canal, writes that the work is progressing fast. ' He says that he never felt In better health In his life. and does not appear to think that he Is In much danger from yellow Jack. He declares that the number of deaths from fever and also tha number of cases have been exaggerated In the American papers. lew Lighting Plant. City Engineer Campen Is of the opinion that the new municipal lighting plant will be finished by September 1 or shortly after that date. The materials to be used by the contractors In connecting up the boll ers and lor otner inside worg are ex pected to arrive within a day or two, and after that the work can be pushed rapidl;-. Governor Visits Veterans. Governor Mickey went to Central City today to attend a district reunion, lasaraaea Stork Mast Be Tsisd, . Today Deputy Attorney General Thomp son advised County Assessor Miller of Lancaster county that stockholders In Ne braska Insurance 'companies must list their shares for taxation. Miller went to Sec retary Bennett of the stata board In the first Instance and by htm was referred to the deputy attorney general who tald htm that the statute Is explicit In Its require ment that the stock be listed for taxation and advised him. to Institute perjury pro ceedings against persons who had filed their schedules without Including this property. It Is understood that the holding of the legal department applies also to Douglas county, where according to Miller, tha stock was not listed. The assessor stated that tha amount of stock taken at Its market value would be J5.OO.0u0. Us said that tha gross premiums of III Nebraska companies had been assessed as required under section tl of the revenue act and with that the assessors stopped. The same method, he said, had been used In Douglas county a.id the stock had not been listed. He did not state whether or not the stock had been omitted with the consent of the assessors, but said that he had been In doubt about the matter. Deputy Attorney General Thompson takes the view that the stock must be listed for assessment by the holders, since the com panies paid taxes only on their gross pre miums. He holds that the value of the property of the company. Including re serve, will be secured for the tax list when the stock is scheduled at Its market value. Because of the fact that the statute pro vides no exemption. It has been In his view, the duty of each holder of such stock to list It, and when their schedules were sworn to as the complete Inventories of their personal property, without having listed the stock they committed perjury, under the provisions of section 63 of the revenue act, which provides: "And If any person shall knowingly swear falsely regarding any matter contained In such- schedule or Interrlgatorles, he shall be deemed guilty of perjury and be pun ished accordingly." The attorney general told County As sessor Miller that the men who hare made such false statements should be prosecuted for perjury In order to teach them the weight which Is to be given to an oath. In Iowa several such prosecutions have been Instituted, and, according to the deputy attorney general, with good effect In making property holders list their prop erty for taxation. He is quoted as having said that the chief trouble with the ld revenue law was the fact that false sched ules were made In utter disregard of the statute. Under the provisions of section 81 all Ne braska Insurance corporations, fire, life. accident or surety are to be taxed on their gross premium. Fraternal and mutual companies are excepted. ALBEK DEKIE! THAT HE IS DEAD Man "apposed to Have Been Murdered Pnta la Appearance. FREMONT. Neb.. Aug. . (Special.) J. E. Albee, who for six months has been mourned for as dead by his friends in Ver mont, called at the office of a local paper this morning and sssured them that he was not the man whose body was found with a bullet hole In the skull near the depot at Ames laHt January. His resem blance to that individual, however, was startling. Albee, whose business Is that of cattle broker and shipper for a Chicago firm, says that he came to North Bend and stopped at Day's hotel. While there he received a telegram calling him to Denver on urgent business. He left his grips at the hotel, expecting to be back In a Wew days, but not informing the proprietor of his destination. On arriving at Denver he decided to go, on to the coast on some business. He says that he remained In California during the most of the winter, then entered the employ of Clay, Robinson & Co. of Chicago as a broker and cattle buyer and has spent some time In Montana, Wyoming and the Black Hills country. He was returning to Belle Fourche, S. D., from Chicago, where he had been with a shipment of stock for that firm. He had with him a clipping from The Bee contain ing' an account of the affair. It was qhlte a long time after he left North Bend, he said, before he learned that he was sup posed to have been murdered In an out building near the Ames depot. He didn't write to his brother, who was. his only relative, very often and besides that a little trouble had come up between them, but nothing serious. He left this afternoon for Belle Fourche. The Identity of the man found dead at Ames and whether a case of . murder .or .suicide will probably never be disclosed. The affair caused much talk In this vicin ity last winter and also in Rutland, Vt., the former home of Albee, and many clues were followed up by the officers here In connection with the Rutland officers with out avail. About ten days after the body was found It was learned there were two grips In the Day hotel at North Bend left there by a man who answered the descrip tion of the body In Dengler's undertaking rooms. Sheriff Bauman brought the grips to Fremont and opening, them found from tholr contents that they evidently belonged to J. E. Albee of Rutland, Vt. They con tained clothing, papers, receipts and a lot of shipping bills for stock, from which It appeared that Albee had done considera ble business as a stock shipper. The pro prietor of the Day hotel Identified the body as that of the man who had left the grips at the hotel, stating that he would call for them In a few days. High Diver la Hurt. GRAND ISLAND. Neb., Aug. 8. Speclal.) At a picnic held by Hook and Ladder company and Otts Hose company No. 1 of the fire department at Harmony hall last Sunday, two attractions were a high dive of ninety feet and a balloon ascen sion. W. H. Speedy, who was to do these feats, met with accidents In attempting both feats and the extent of tha Injury Is not as yet known, though ha Is be lieved to be aerlouBly Injured, In making the high dive the poles, which held the net and which were In soft ground, let him to the ground and he lay there In an un conscious condition. The net partly stopped the fall, but it was evident that the man was seriously hurt, as he did not regain consciousness for over an hour, and then appeared to be under some delusion. He was in no fit condition to make a balloon ascension, but all the urging of his man ager was of no avail. In getting the ropes tangled he was unable to cut the para chute loose, but suaceeded In coming to the ground slow enough to avoid serious Injury from the fall. Both were consld ered miraculous escapes from Instant death. Seek Pardon for Clark. NORFOLK, Neb., Aug. . (Special.) Ef forts are being made to secure a pardon from Governor Mickey for John Clark sent to tne penitentiary more than a year ago on a charge of assault upon a girl In South Norfolk. The majority of the Jury have signed the petition for pardon, and It Is bellaved by many that Clark was absolutely Innocent of the charge. His employer states that he knows Clark was at work when the deed was committed Llark is a young man from the east. His mother does not know where he Is to day. He fell In bad company when he came west and one night in Sioux City wnue under the Influence of liquor, he was married, as a Jest perpetrated by com panlons. When he awoke and realised his 'situation he fled to Omaha. Later he came to Norfolk to work. Friendless and penniless, he was unable to appeal his case In court. When the Jury brought In the verdict he collapsed. He is thought to be suffering from consumption and it Is feared he cannot live If he Is not se at liberty. Electrla Goags at Crossings. SCHUYLER.

A substantial farmer who has lived here for forty years says that on crops of all kinds this has been the best crop year Nebraska has witnessed.

The wheat is of fine quality. The oats are unusually heavy. The weather Is most favorable for the corn and Cass county will have one of the largest yields It has had for several years.
