COURT ORDER MAY ENABLE THEM TO DO SO Mr. I.eaa LIUIc Mack Depressed 0r Refusal of the Supreme Coart to Grill Her a Sm llearlag. (From a 8tttft Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Nov. 13 (Special.) Attorney General Brown said today that county treasurers cannot safely accept the ten der of a part of the taxes now being mod by the agents of the Union Pacific and the Burlington. The law does not provide for the acceptance of a portion of the tax due and make no provision for mora than one receipt. It Is taken for granted that the two companies will en Join the county treasurers from attempt ing to collect the tax, and the attorney general believes that the federal court will Insert a provision In the order per mitting the acceptance of the amounts offered without waiving the right to the balance, following the precedent estab lished in the order Issued last year, when a similar exception was made, under which a large percentage of the taxes was paid and accepted by many of the coun ties. In order to- put the county officials on 1 their guard, the attorney general has Is sued a circular letter, which Is a copy of his reply to a query from County At torney C. O. French of Nemaha county, inquiring as to the duty of the treasurer to accept part payment of the Burlington tax. He said: In reDlv I beg fo advise you that the revenue law nowhere authorizes the county treasurer to receive a partial payment 01 taxes which appear on his books to be due from any person or corporation. It Is ob vious from an Inspection of the law In question that It was the Intention of the legislature to authorise the tax collector to collect taxes In full. There is no dis tinction made between taxpayers. Thoy should all be treated alike. The treas urer is required by law to keep a set of books! his form of receipt Is prescribed by statute; his warrant to collect taxes, and the manner of making payment, all lead to but one conclusion, ana tnai is that the treasurer has a right to refuse, and It Is his duty to refuse, a tender of anvthlng less than the full amount due as shown on his books. The treasurer Is vested bv law with no discretion or ludg ment touching the validity of the tax as sessed or any portion of It. In the ab sence of an order of a court having Juris diction of the subject directing or author izing the treasurer to do otnerwise. 1 am clearly of the opinion that It is the duty of such officer to refuse to receive from any taxpayer a portion of the taxes as sessed against him. The warrant of the treasurer provided by law commands him to collect taxes; tnis means an taxes as sessed, and not a portion thereof. Cut Temporary Fund. The railroad Injunction suits, withhold ing taxes, are charged with responsibility for the small temporary school fund ap portionment which Is In prospect. Treas urer Mortensen said today that it amounts to about $210,000 at present. It will accumu late until about December 1, but it is not believed that the amount will reach the $260,000 November apportionment of last year. Mr. Mortensen says that the prospect of another suit to tie up the railway taxes will not embarrass the counties to such an extent as might have been anticipated, since warrants can be drawn against the levies, and with the prevailing state of the Investment market, readily sold. The state can keep on Issuing general fund warrants, most of which are purchased by the per manent school fund. Mrs. Llllle Appear. Depressed. Warden Becmer said today that "Mrs. Lena Margaret Llllle seemed much de pressed over the action of . the supreme court in rejecting her application for per mission to file a moaion for a rehearing. Persons who have talked with her recently say that she placed much reliance on the I appeal and hoped to secure another trial. Her attorney had filed an extensive brief and it was claimed that new facts were ud- duced which would lead the court to grant a new trial. The woman has been making dresses during her spare moments in order to secure money with which to defray the cost of this last appeal to the court. The woman has three companions In the woman's ward Mrs. Hutchinson, the al leged assassin of Farmer Feasle In Nuck olls county, and two colored women. They are employed during the working hours In mending the garments of convicts. Today Mrs. Llllle assisted In mending 300 pairs of socks belonging to the male convicts. All fo Joe Burns. This afternoon the State Board of Pub lic Lands and Buildings considered a proposition of Superintendent Kearns of the Hastings asylum to make provision 8,5 for a larger boiler and engine than orig inally contracted for with Howard Burns at $4,500. It Is claimed that th equipment is not large enough and the proposal as made to the board contemplated the mak ing of a new contract with Burns, who is a visible head of the corporation of which Representative Bums was the official head up to the time of his election as a mem ber of the legislature. The larger equip ment would have cost about $2,500 more. Members of the board protested against giving the additional contract to Burns and insisted that new bids be called for. The matter was taken under advisement. Typhoid Wiped Ont. Superintendent Greene of the Lincoln Hospital for the Insane said today that typhoid fever had been wiped out beyond JJ: ' all possibility of further Infection.

Did Superintendent Fallf State Superintendent McBrien Is puzzling over the status of two superintendents chosen at the recent election. Both of them took th examination for the first grade cer tificates, but failed to pass In all branches Under his former holding they are Ineli gible because they did not have first grade certificates at th time of their election However, he haw thought of a precedent which may save them, because ordinarily applicants who pass in more than three- fourths of the subjects are allowed another trial as a matter of course. HeJs now ask ing the attorney general to determine when the certificate secured under such condi tions would run. The practice In some counties In to date them from the first ex amlnatlon.

YORK, Neb., Nov. 13. (Special.) Two tramps, shut up In a boxcar, came near being mobbed today at Knox, an elevator siding south of York on the Kansas City & Omaha railroad, not because they were tramps, but on account of refusal to ac cept work shucking corn. A freight train had set the boxcar on the siding, snd when the farmers who were hauling grain to the elevator saw two able-bodied men crawl out of the car they pounced on them, offering 1 cents per bushel to shuck corn, free board, room and washing, and when one of the tramps replied "that he had all the work he wanted to do picking his teeth," the farmers made a rush for the tramps, who ran down the track and soon disappeared. Tramps coming to York county are liable to get mobbed if they refuse to husk corn. York county farmers have so large a crop and scarcity of labor thut they are nearly desperate and. owing to the scarcity of help, hundred of wives, daughters snd small children are in the cornfields from early morning until dark husking corn. One farmer has Just fin ished building a corncrlb holding over g.OuO bushels, attaching to it an elevator that elevates wagon and all except team' and dumps the load of corn in top of the crib.
