R RAILROADS ASR FOR DELAY Cert U EtTf Tax Cm Be for Enpramo Court Pamd When Oallsd In'Ootober. ATTORNEY GENERAL INSISTS ON TRIAL Reasoa Aslae by the Railroads la There la Hat a Pall Beach at Praseat Owlag ta Retlreaaeat of .last lee Brown. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Bept. H.-(Bclal.) Attorneys for the Burlington and Union Pacific rail roads have served notice on Attorney Gen eral Brown that they WJli ask that the railroad tax easer be put over for hear ing. Mr. Brown has replied that he wl)l appear before the United States supreme court October I to resist the motion of tba railroads and that he will Insist en a trial of the case at that time. The railroad attorneys have Insisted from the start that they were shxlous for a speedy hearing and their present attitude x cornea as a sur prise. The Burlington case was decided by Judge Munger of the United States circuit court against the railroad, which sought an Injunction to prevent the collection of the taxes levied on Its property for the year 1S04. An appeal was Immediately taken by the Burlington end later the Union Pa cific agreed to submit its esse at the time the Burlington case was submitted. The date set for the hearing In the United States court was October . Now John N. Baldwin, attorney for the Union Pacific, Informs Attorney General Brown that it was the understanding that the cases were Co be submitted before a full bench. . As Justice Brown has resigned' and there la no probability of the president filling the place soon, Mr. Baldwin gives notice that ha will on October file a motion to have the case assigned for hearing at a time when there Is a full bench. Attorney C. J. Greene for the Burlington naa given sim ilar notice. The contemplated delay might set the cases over until after the first of the year, when Mr. Brown will retire from the attor ney general's office. The rules of the United States court do not provide for continuance because of a temporary nu merical deficiency In the bench. Attorney General Brown will have his supplementary briefs on file at Washington three dsys before . the cases are called for bearing. The railroad attorneys must have theirs on file five days prior to the data of bear ing. Democrats Certify. CM. Bktles, chairman of the democratic state convention, and Ed P. Berryman, sec retary, have certified to the secretary of state the names of the nominees of the con vention. The name of W. H. Thompson, en dorsed by the convention for United States senator, 'heads the list The officers of the convention also certify that the convention adopted resolutions endorsing the proposed amendment to the constitution creating an elective railway commission. This endorse ment was a part of the platform adopted by the convention and Mr. Sklles has en closed two of the planks, one endorsing tbo proposed amendment and another declaring tn favor of the plan of adopting the same railroad valuations for purposes of taxa tion that are adopted for the purpose of regulating rates, and demanding that the legislature empower the elective railway commission to appraise the value of rail road corporations and other common car rlers for these two purposes. ' Hlteheoek Bllarhts Thompson.' The fact that Mr. Hitchcock's paper has apparently slighted W. H. Thompson in Its columns has given rise to the belief among Thompson's friends that Mr.' Hitchcock Is not so eagsr to run for congress aa he is to become United States senator. They fear that If conditions are right Mr. Hitch cock may yet Coma before the legislature as a candidate for the senate. It was pointed out by one of them today that In reproducing what Mr. Bryan had to say about the state ticket - before his de parture upon his southern trip, the World Herald carefully eluded everything therein that Mr. Bryan said that waa favorable to Thompson, and printed only the kindly referenoee to Shallenberger. They say, too. that the World-Herald has been decidedly chary In its references to Thompson ever since the convention. Repablleaa Campalam Opealagr. The repubjican state campaign will be opened Wednesday by Attorney - General Norris Brown. George I Sheldon and Judge Boyd with two meetings. 'The first will be held at Emerson, Dixon county.

His victim was a French-Canadian rancher named Belle ' Isle. Boucher , has been in the penitentiary since January, 1908. Indian Agent Kelly of the- Rosebud agency stands sponsor for the prisoner under the terms of the parole. Defletenelee mt tha Gaard. Adjutant General J. H. Culver has re ceived word from Washington that ' the recent Inspection of the Nebraska National guard by Captain F. A. Wilcox. Thirtieth Sense v. j a xkj .v.w vuoj jrcatC) uub e v.-n t -i . , ' .' Infantry, has bean reported o tha War department. General Culver has received word that tba report shows a deficiency tn evercoAta, of which garment the guard haa only til ta supply an enlisted strength of l.ttl. The War department haa ruled that equipment for field service la Incom plete without overcoats and that requisi tion should be Immediately made. Bat tety A, Wymora, Is reported not suffi ciently armed, uniformed and equipped for active duty In the field. The armament of the battery Is obsolete and the harness tn bad order. This ntnst be remedied. The tentagn of. the, guard Is sufficient tn quantity, but about half of It Is too old to stand a season of service. It ts recom mended that conical tenfs, with stoves, be supplied. The War department will not deprive Nebraska af tta share of, support from the government on account of these deficiencies. The allotment will be al lowed, aa usual, with the- express under standing that prompt steps be taken to aupply the deficiencies noted. General Culver haa returned from He. girt, N. J., where he left the guard rifle team Indulging In Individual shooting. He believes the work of the team, while not remarkable, is better ,than last year and that many members of fhe team will be well Qualified to coach In rifle practice. Mother Seeks Har iChlld. Having surrendered her two daughters several years ago to a child saving Insti tute at Omaha, Mrs. Sarah Clark is now denied their custody. The , elder girl, Mabel, now 1 years .of age, is In the home of the Good. Shepherd at Omaha, while the younger sister Is with a family tn Iowa. The mother haa been making stren uous efforts to reclaim Mabel, and a short time ago she wrote to Governor Mickey about it. The letter was referred to dec retary J. A. Piper Of tha State Charlttea board, who, after ah Investigation, finds that it would be better for H he girl to re main where she now is until she reaches the legal age of II. i " Four years ago, - When the girls were taken from Mrs. Clark with her consent, she waa living at Fremont. The Child Sav ing - Institute1 found homes for both, but Mabel proved somewhat Intractable and waa afterward returned to the Institution by people In Boyd county, who had taken her to rear. About a year' ago she waa delivered to the home of the Good Shep herd, which devotes Itself to the care of young girls possessing willful or wayward dispositions.- She has been getting along well there, and Secretary Piper will write her mother that the state does not wish to Interfere. . -' - Other Roads Make a Rate.

The Burlington soil and crop report for the Nebraska district for the week ending September S shows: On the Wymore division' the gronnd : Is very generally tpo.dry to permit of plowing fr winter fermfn. ' A large portion o( the ground lias been prepared, however, for the winter crop. In places where they have had local showers a little plowing to still being done. The ground on the Lincoln division Is not generally quite so dry and some plowing ts still being done and some winter grain ia being sown. As a rule, however, the ground Is becoming too dry on the Lincoln division to plow. On the McCook division there are places where plowing can still be done snd work Ja going on in a limited way. Considerable winter wheat has been sown on all divisions. Not very much more wheat will be sown, how ever, until it rains. Reports this week Indicate damage to corn by dry weather from neariy all parts of the Wymore division: in fact, the only exception Is the line from DeWItt to Hol drege. It Is stated in the superintendent's report that corn on this line is uniformly good and a very large crop Is expected. The damage on all parts of the division Ik confined to the late corn. The week was hot and corn that was still green has been. In farmers' parlance, pretty generally, "fired," which means that the extreme hwi and lack of moisture has resulted in th stalks becoming dry burned near tho roots, having the appearance of being actually scorched by fire. , All reasonably early corn Is past tne stage wnere it couia ds nrea and Is now . "Ailing," or maturing. It ts possible If the dry weather continues the result may be considerable light and not properly matured corn on the Wymore di vision. Conditions on the Lincoln division are somewhat similar to those on the Wy more dlvlFlon, except that the ground is not so dry and conditions are generally more favorable. More rain bns fallen on the Lincoln division, although the weather has been equally ns hot. Damage to late corn on the Lincoln division is estimated from 10 to SB per cent. It Is difficult to give a correct Idea of such damage, as much of this late corn could not at any time be considered properly as a matter tnv con nection with the present crop; that is to say, It was never more than a possibility. On ths McCook division conditions are bet ter, so far as corn Is concerned, than on either of tke eastern division". In this week's report some damago Is reported to late corn between Wllsnnvllle and Hemdnn, but not elsewhere. It is Impossible to make a close estimate of damaae to corn at this rflme or predict very .definitely as to the final outcome of the crop. Indications are. however, for a very good crop of corn, at worst. ' Pastures are very generally getting dry and yielding very little green fresh feed. The cured feed In pastures is excellent be cause of recent dry weather. There are places in the district where the fourth crop of alfalfa will be cut. All hay crops, In cluding wild prairie hay, are especially good. No unfavorable ' report this week on sugar bfcets and Indications are that the cron will - turn out as well, generally, as predicted In previous reports. Attention, . A. R.
