LINCOLN, Neb.. Auk. 8. -(Special. To
day. 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

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.

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.

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.

fever and also tha number of cases have
been exaggerated In the American papers.

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.

CROPS OF SMAIX (iRMl I.ARGF.
Yield Is Heavy and the Quality First
Class.
AUBURN, Neb.. Aug. . (Special.)
There Is an excellent wheat crop In this
part of the state. Wheat Is going from
fifteen to forty bushels per acre and the
quality Is first-class. There does not seem
to be any damaged wheat. Wheat Is now
selling for 70 cents per bushel, but has
been higher. Not very murh wheat has
been marketed the last week, but up to
that time all the elevators were busy.
Oats were supposed to be very poor, but
when the farmers commenced to thresh
they were agreeably surprised to find that
their oats were going from twenty to
forty bushels per acre. The straw Is short,
but well filled. There never was a better
prospect, for a com crop. The weather
has been Ideal. 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 spring waa dry and cool, good for
wheat, and the summer has been warm
with frequent showers, which Is Just what
Is needed for corn.
PLATTSMOUTH, Neb.. Aug. . (Special.)
The winter wheat In this vicinity Is
being threshed. John Kralgey, living eight
miles southwest of this city, has ninety
acres of winter wheat which averaged
forty-eight bushels per acre. 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. Some small grain Is being
marketed here; the quality Is above the
average, and there la a good demand for
wheat and oats. Wheat Is selling for 66
to 70 cents per bushel; oats, 22 cents; corn,
40 cents. The farmers are somewhat dis
posed to hold their grain, thinking the
prices will go higher.
SCHUYLER Neb., Aug. g.-(Speclal.)-The
corn crop this year promises to be
a banner one. plenty of rain has fallen
during the past two weeks and crops are
In excellent condition. The hay crop Is
exceptionally good, a number of fields
yielding two crops.
BURWELL. Neb., Aug. 8.-(8peclal.)-Crops
are fine In this county and the prices
of real estate are steadily advancing. A
number of 'pieces of winter wheat have
averaged over thirty-five bushels per acre.
The 300 acres of land belonging to the I.
W. White estate waa sold yesterday for
$12,000. A number of places have recently
