peech In the senate today on the bill

committee and chairman of the subcom
mittee dealing with educational matters,
much of the work of preparing the re
organisation bill fell upon his shoulders.
Mr. Galllnger, chairman of the District
of Columbia committee, paid Mr. Burkett
a high compliment by stating that during
the consideration of the District of Col
umbia bill the splendid presentation of
the measure and the excellent defense he
put up for the bill justified Mr. Burkett's
appointment as chairman of the subcom
mittee Rebate for a Draft.
' Representative McCarthy today secured
the passage of a bill to reimburse Robert
Oray of Schuyler, Neb. , to the extent of

certed over the result and turned up smil
ing and took and exchanged Jokes with
.tlylr colleagues on the floor. "We are not
the only ones who have gone down to de

Flabt Over Itralnase Qneation.
NORTH PLATTE. Nfb.. June g.Spe
cial.) The first application for the forma
tion of a draliiHgo district in Lincoln
county since the passage of the law pro
viding for the diuinage and reclaiming of
low and swamp lands was denied yeaterday
In the diHtrlct court. The Suit was filed
during the fall of last year and the idea
was promoitd mainly by the Nonh Platte
Lund and Water company, which owns
coiiHlilerahle land In the proposed district.
The land sought to he drained Is lo
cated weitt of this city between the North
nnd South Platte rivers and comprises
some Com acres. It was charged In the
petition that these lands were low and
swamp and would be benefited by drainage.
This case has been one of the must bitterly
fought In this county for some time and
practically every law firm in the city was
engagd on one ide or the other.
So many of those who signed In favor of
the district finally withdrew and opposed
It that at the close of the taking of one
day's testimony the evidence showed that
those who yet remained In favor of the
district did not constitute a majority of
the resident land owners nnd the case was
dismissed by the district court because U
then did not have Jurisdiction to hear the
matter.

BOYD COUNTY SETTLERS GET A CHANCE
rirt Be Onstea from l4f la Con
trorrrir Wlthoat Appraisement
and Payment for 1 m-trTmfiti.
From Btaff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, June 8. The Omaha
Board of Fire and Police commis
sioners Is not required to furnish a tran- )
script to a party desiring to appeal from
the decision of the board granting a liquor
license, without the payment of fees there
for. This Is the decision of the supreme
court fn the mandamus suit of Elmer E.
Thomas against the Board of Fire and
Police commissioners.
The court holds that a party desiring
to appeal from the decision of the board
Is entitled to a certified transcript of the
record upon demand and the payment of
reasonable fees for making such transcript.
While Judge Letton concurs In the result,
on account of the failure of the relator
to tender a reasonable fee for the
transcript. he dissents from the
views expressed as to the board
not being compelled to furnish the tran
script of the evidence on account of the
manner In which It was taken. If the
evidence Is taken pursuant to stipulation
the, decision of the court Is that the board
will not be compelled by mandamus to
reduce the evidence to writing In the
manner provided for by such stipulation
without payment of the extra expense
for so doing, made necessary by the usual
manner of taking the evidence.
Chance for Royrf Conntr Settlers.
The court has decided that neither the
state not the Intervenors who leased state
lands in Boyd county were entitled to the
possession of these lands when an action
was begun by the' state to oust settlers
from the lands without first having their
Improvements appraised. The action was
dismissed at the cost of the state. The
state sought to oust George W. MeCright,
Alexander H. Blair and others who had
settled on the land In controversy In 1P03
and who began Improving the land. In
a former decision by the court it was held
that title to the land was vested In the
state. In this case the right of the settlers
to possession of the land Is asserted on
the ground that they have made valuable
Improvements and that the state cannot
oust them without first having their Im
provements appraised. The state officials
refused to appraise the land separately
front the Improvements, the defendants re
fused to Jease them and the lands were
leased to other persons who Intervened and
demanded possession of the lands under
their leases. These leases were made by
Land Commissioner Follmer.
Dipsomaniac Law I'pheld.
That the dipsomaniac law is constitu
tional In the main Is the decision of the
court In the application of John Schwart
lng for a writ of habeas corpus. Thexcourt
decides that the law Is pari materia of
other laws providing for the detention, care
and discharge of persons committed to the
hospital for the lnrane and must be con
strued In connection therewith. That part
of the law which provides for paroling
dipsomaniacs, requiring them to refrain
from the use of liquor and to keep out of
the company of drinkers, was declared un
constitutional. Judge Letton wrote the de
cision. The decision states that:
The law Is an exercise of the poternal
care of the state, designed for the heneflt
of those persons whose mental fibre has
Become so weakened by the excessive use
of intoxicants and narcotics that they are
unable to refrain from an undue indulgence
In the same and In whom the craving has
become so Intense as to be In the nature
of a mental Intlrmity.
The law la not enacted to punish crime
and Is by no means penal la its nnture.
When the dipsomaniac Is released, he stands
on an equality with all other cltlsens. In
sofar as the provisions of section 7 provide
for the restraint of persons who have been
cured, tney are In conflict with the constitu
tion and must fall.
The application of John Schwartlng for
writ of habeas corpus Is denied.
Norfolk Hearlna- AdJonrnrd.
Governor Mickey, Attorney General
Brown. Land Commissioner Eaton and
State Secretary Galusha and Treasurer
Mortensen returned at noon from Norfolk,
where they went to take testimony in the
rhages against Superintendent' Alden and
Dr. Nicholson. They will return to Nor
folk next Wednesday to resume the hear
ing. None of the officers will discuss for
publication the testimony introduced, al
though It seems to be the opinion of most
of them that little evidence against Dr.
Alden was secured. It is the Intention of
the board to examine all of the employes
of the Institution.1'
Tabltha Home Rolldlng Barns.
The old orphanage building at Tabltha
home wa completely destroyed by fire this
morning. Owing to the efforts of' the
matron of the home, Mrs. Hattie Hamlin,
seconded by Mayor Brown, none of the
inmates was injured and the flames were
prevented from spreading to the main
building. The loss is estimated at about
$4,000. It has not yet . been discovered,
whether or not Insurance will cover any
part of this, aa many policies were allowed
to lapse after the deposition of Henry
Helner and Rev. Mr. Sherck has been In
charge too short a time to have attended
to obtaining new policies.
The glare" from the fire awakened Mrs.
Hamlin at about 2:90 this morning. She
Immediately telephoned to the city fire
department, but was told that the home
was too far from the city to send out
the fire appuratus. The, police told her
the same thing. In desperation, she called
up Mayor Brown, who promptly4 ordered a
company of firemen out to the scene. The
building was almost gone when they ar
rived and they were unable to attach their
hose to the water tank, but the fire was
prevented from spreading to the other
buildings. There are about twenty chil
dren maintained at the home and a num
ber of aged Inmates. Some think that the
blaxe was the work of an Incendiary, but
Mrs. Hamlin declares that she believes
that mice and matches were responsible.

School Case Decided.
Governor Mickey and State Superintend
ent McBrlen have won their contention that
state officers have a right to send their
children to te public schools of IJncoln
without paying tuition, even though they
retaln their legnl residence elsewhere. Chief
Justice Hedgewlck. in his opinion, held this
the proper Interpretation of section 2 of
the laws of lssl, as amended by section .
chapter 62, of laws of 1S99, state office's
have this right during their terms of office.
If a family of the person or persons having

other than the district-of their legal resi
dence, and such removal Is not for the pur
pose of obtaining school privileges, but Is
principally from other motives, such
children are entitled to school privilege
while so living in the district.
Fire Escape Law I .ante.
An agent acting for the owner of a build
ing in Nebraska cannot be punished under
the fire escape law for a failure to main
tain Are escapes In a manner provided by
law. This is the decision in the case of
the state against Henry F. Dailey, an
agent having charge of a building in
Omaha, whose owner lives outside of the
state. He was arrested on complaint of
Deputy Labor Commissioner Bert Bush.
The court holds the provision of a penal
statute will not be extended by construc
tion so as to apply to persons not clearly
within Its terms.
Bank Most Pay.
Ida M. Helm Is held to be entitled to re
cover from the First National bank of
Humboldt $1,600 which she handed to Pres
ident F. W. Samuelson, who was behind
the counter of the bank apparently in
charge at the time Mrs. Helm came to de
posit the money. Mr. Samuelson gave her
a time check signed by him as president
In his indivadual capacity and It contained
nothing to Indicate that the money was
deposited with the bank. Samuelson failed
In the summer of 1903 and sent notice to
Mrs. Helm to meet him In his office at
Falls City. Upon receiving this notice the
paper which had been given Mrs. Helm
was taken from a safe and Its true char
acter ascertained.
Ruling on Divorce Law.
In the case of Mida A. Branson against
Isaao R. Branson, a divorce suit Inst!
tuted In Hamilton county, the court says
an agreement between the parties to a
pending suit fpr a divorce for the coluslve
rendition of a decree will defeat the ac
tion and It is Immaterial that one of the
parties may have supposed such agree.
ment to be free from legal or moral wrong.
The decision Is by Commissioner Ames.
Mrs. Branson sued for a decree of divorce
and while the action was pending entered
Into a written agreement with her hus
band that in consideration of her husband
not going personally upon the witness
stand to testify against her In her suit
against him for a divorce she would make
no application for alimony; that In case a
divorce should be granted she should have
separate to her certain property and
money wheh she claimed as her separate
estate, and she would execute to her hus
band a quit claim of all dower estate.
This agreement was identified by the wife
lit the course of her cross-examination
and brought tq the attention of the court,
who therefore dismissed the suit.
Railroad lerarei Reversal.
The court has reversed and remanded
the suit of Elizabeth A. Healy against
the Chicago, Burlington & Juincy Rail
road company; error from Douglas county.
Mi. Healy sued upon - a certificate of
membership issued to Cornelius R. Heal)
In the insurance organization known as
the "Burlington Relief Department." This
latter suit Is reversed because Mrs. Healy
had formerly sued the company to re
cover damages under the statutes for
causing the death of her husband. The
court says that a suit by an administrator
of a deceased employe of the Chicago,
Burlington & Qulncy Railroad company,
who was a member of the relief depart
ment of that company, to recover dam
ages under the statutes' for wrongfully
causing the death of ssld employe Is a
bar to subsequent action upon the mem
bership certificate In said department when
the administrator Is the same person
named as beneficiary In the contract. Mrs.
Healy's suit under the statutes to recover
damages was dismissed by her' prior to
the beginning of the new suit.
Parker fJeta New Trial.
A new trial Is granted Samuel Parker
of Thurston county, who was sentenced
to the penitentiary for a reriod of five
years upon being found guilty of killing
Andrew Johnson. He was found guilty of
the crime of manslaughter.
No Appeal from Tax Levy.
The commissioners of Lancaster county
won tlielr.milts against C. O. Whedon, in
which he sought to overrule the action of
the board In raising the assessment of
property of the Fifth ward of Lincoln. The
court holds that the statues of this state
make no provision for an appeal from the
order of the county board in mr.klng the
tax levy and attempt to prosecute
such an appeal confers no Jurlcdio-
tlon in the. district court to review such
order. Judge Barnes wrote the decision
and he says that it would seem clear that
the legislature never Intended to confer
Jurisdiction on the court by appeal to re
view or control the discretion of the county
board In the matter of levying taxes. To
grant the district such power would In
effect substitute its discretion for that of
the county board, the tribunal to which the
statute has specified the duty.
Wrlgler silrrps on Ilia Rights.
Robert Wrigley of Beatrice, who carried
around in his vest pocket a draft for $90
from August 10, 1K4 until October, 1899, Is
held not to be entitled to payment. He
sued Jhe Farmers and . Merchants State
bank at Beatrice when he discovered the
draft In an inside vest pocket. The court
holds where the holder of a bank draft
neither demands payment of the bank on
which It Is drawn or takes any other steps
to secure payment within five years from
the time It came Into his possession, his
right of action against the bank issuing
the draft Is barred by the statutes of
limitation.
Court will not adjourn until tomorrow
having to pass upon motions for rehearing.
