'their treatment the disease spread to
four different parts of his body. The
longer the doctors treated him the worse
It grew.. During the day it would get
rough and form like scales. At night it
would be cracked, inflamed, and badly
swollen, with terrible burning and itth-

nearly breaks my heart. His screams
could bo heard down stairs. The suf

I had no ambition to work, to eat, nor

Ready for Railroad Tax Case.
Attorney General Brown has completed
his brief In the Burlington . railroad tax
case and th copy Is bow In the hands
of the printers. The brief will be filed in
the United States supreme court October
t, at which time. Mr. Brown will make his
argument for an affirmation of the de
cision of the federal court at Omaha.
Forter Wants His Child.
Wallace Porter of Omaha Is seeking
through the supreme court to gain pos
session of his 4-year-old son, who by a
decree of the Hall county district court
Is now held by Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Thomp
son, grandparents of the child. Over the
objections of Mrs. Thompson, 10 the brief
filed in the supreme court this morning
said, WalUce Porter married Edith Thomp
son. By the assistance of Mr. Thompson
and his own father he built a home end
started In the grocery business. Not mak
ing a success In business he sold out and
removed to Cedar Rapids, la., and became
a traveling salesman for the Cud ah y Pack
ing company. It was shortly after . this
that Mrs. Porter died, leaving a child T
month's old. It was her wish, the brief
said, that Porter live with Mr. and Mrs.
Thompson and he did for a time, having
the child with htm. During this time, the
brief said,. Porter paid for every meal he
ate at th Thompson home and employed
a girl to look after th child and paid
her board. Finally he removed to Omaha,
where he fitted up a home near Hanscom
park, and brought his parents there to live
with him. When he brought tha child to
his own home, Mr. Thompson through ha
beas corpus secured possession of the
child, and took him back to his own home
in Grand Island. The brief holds the court
of 'Hall county had no Jurisdiction over
th child In Douglas county and seeks to
have the decision reversed. It Is asserted
Mrs. Porter on her death bed asked thAt
her parents take car of th child and Pot
ter signed an agreement giving' them cus
tody of him. j I
TrestsNr Cremln Appeals.
Daniel Cronln has appealed from the de
cision of the Holt county district .court In
the case wherein he, as county treasurer,
wss held responsible for the loss of the
county funds deposited In the Elkhorn
Valley bank, which failed some time ago.
The bank was a depository.
Bice Get New Trial.
Robert Bice, sentenced to th peniten
tiary on a charge of assault with intent
to do great bodily Injury, today secured
a reversal of the decision of the lower
court. Under the evidence the supreme
court held Bice was' guilty of common
assault and battery. Bice, while drunk,
picked a fight with James Adklns, who
threw him to th ground and then choked
him. Bice then drew a revolver and at
tempted to shoot, but the weapon was
taken away from him and he did no
one Injury. The two men had not quar
relled before and have been on good terms
since.
Damage Case Reversed.
In the appeal of the Burlington Rail
road company against Richard Cleve, the
company obtained a Judgment of reversal.
The case Is remanded to the district court
of Otoe county. Clove obtained damages
In the lower court for the loss of two
steers In a shipment of cattle from Ne
braska City to Chicago. It was charged
that the cattle died from overheat on ac
count of delay In the shipment. The com
pany's answer was In the nature of a
general denial and a plea of the statute of
limitations. The supreme court held: "In
an action to recover damages from a car
rier for Injuries sustained by live stock
In transit which are accompanied by tha
owner or his agent, the burden Is on the
owner to show that tha loss complained of
waa olc&fltoned by the carrier's neg
ligence. In order to recover damages for
an alleged delay in the shipment of live
stock It la necessary to Introduce aome
competent .evidence tending to show the
length of time ordlnarly required to trans
port the shipment from a place where
received to the point of delivery, and
that a longer time waa aotually consumed
than waa necessary for that purpose. Evi
dence examined and held Insufficient to
sustain the Judgment of .the trial court"
Kern fallen ta Us plate.
Superintendent Kern of tha Hastings asy
lum is to be called to Lincoln shortly to
meet with he Stat Board of Public Lands
and Buildings to straighten out th con
tract let to Earl Wesoott for the construc
tion of elevators at the Institution. Mr.
Ualusha said, hs notified ' Dr. Kern to let
the contract' to Westcott because Westcott
had th lowest Wd. while Chairman Katon
of the board said no member of the board
had been authorised to tell Kern to let it.
When Governor Mickey returns from Nor
folk and seta a time Dr. Kern will be called
In to tall what he knows about th matter.
InlTCrslty Oris the Caab.
Stat Auditor Sear! will have to pay th
Stat university th 15,000 which lies in th
treasury for th us of th experiment sta
tion. Th supreme court today allowed the
writ of mandamus which mill compel the
auditor to draw the warrant for the money.
Mr. Searle refused to draw this warrant
because there was no specific appropria
tion of the money by the state legislature,
He contended that after the money had
gone Into the state treasury It could not be
paid out unless th legislature approprl
ated It
Cemetery Case Comes Back.
The former opinion of the court In th
case of Jesse Lowe and others against tha
Prospect Hill Cemetery association of
Omaha Is adhered to. Tha court Is still
of the . opinion the cause should be re
manded to the district court with the direc
tion to allow further pleading and proof
If neceesary to ascertain whether or not
certain restrictions and regulations of the
right of sepulture can be made on a strip
of ground adjoining a cemetery so ss to
prevent Injury to the plaintiffs, and If It
be found that the rights of the plaintiffs
may be protected by proper regulations,
then that the court modify the Injunctions
so as to allow burial to be made under
regulations and conditions subscribed in
Its decree.
Workmss Recover Wagreai.
The Judgment of the district court of
Lancaster county la affirmed In the case
of Frank E. Wageman against Borden
Bros., and action to recover wages gar
nlshed and attorneys . fees. The action Is
grounded on the act of 1889, entitled "An
act for the better' protection of the earn
ings of laborers, servants and other em
ployee of corporations, firms or individuals
engaged In Interstate business."
The plaintiff, an employ of the Burling
ton at the Havelock shops, alleged and
proved that the defendants claimed to
hold an account against him; that the de
fendant assigned such account to some
person unknown to the plaintiff; that there
arter suit waa Instituted thereon in
another state by a party other than the
defendant, claiming to own the account
that In said suit the exempt wages of the
plaintiff were attached for the satisfaction
of said account. Th supreme court holds
that this Is sufficient to- make a prima
facie case under the provisions of the
statute. The amount of the claim against
the plaintiff for indebedness waa S21.lt. The
amount of wages garnished was $32.87,
wnicn amount, together with 110 attorneys'
feea, was given the plaintiff by a Judgment
in tne lower court. Thla Judgment la af.

BIO CROWD HEARS KORRIS BROWJf
Major Portion of His Speech Devoted
to the Railroads,
NEBRASKA CITT, Neb., Sept. a. (Spe
cial Telegram.) Hon. Norrls Brown, candi
date for United" States senator on the re
publican ticket, spoke in the county court
house this evening to ' one of ths largest
audiences that ever assembled In the dis
trict court room. A number of county can
didates delivered short addresses, after
which Judge William Hay ward, as chair
man, Introduced Mr. Brown. As Mr.
Brown arose the audience greeted him with
hearty applause.
In beginning Mr.' Brown said he did not
come to speak about men, but of prin
ciples, and would not discuss the candi
dates on the opposing ticket. He spoke
on national politics and discussed the dif
ferences between the two great national
parlies. He said he was In favor of en
forcing the McKlnley tariff law and was
not in favor of making any changes in
Its provisions. The law was enacted to
protect the factories of this nation and
should be left alone. Even ths democratic
party would not attempt to repeal the
law. Mr. Brown said that President Roose
velt stood for the protection of the people
of this country against tne grest corpora
tions and In his message to congress he
asked that body to enact laws for the
protection of the masses. He said Presi
dent Roosevelt had two - mora yeara In
which to fight for the people and if tha
people had their - way he would have alx
more yeara. (Oreat applause.)
In discussing 'tha railroads Mr. Brown
stated that the railroads fought the peo
ple and fought the politicians who would
not be controlled by them and he thought
now waa the time for the government to
control these corporations and President
Roosevelt waa fighting for government con
trol. He discussed the freight rates In
Nebraska and compared them to rates
being charged in adjoining states, show
ing that the rates charged by railroads In
Nebrsska were greater than those charged
In other states. The only way to secure
fair rates was by electing a railroad com
mission of men not controlled by the rail
road corporations snd these men were ths
nominees of the republican ticket.
In speaking of Hon. George L. Sheldon,
Mr. Brown called him the Teddy Roosevelt
of Nebraska and urged the voters to elect
Mr. Sheldon their governor. Ha scored
the railroads for bringing the injunction to
prevent the county treasurers from col
lectlng the taxes assessed against them
under the new assessment law and be
lieved the United States supreme court
would uphold Judge Munger'a decision.

tric widow, wife of the late ' John Smith,
pioneer settlers of south York county,
and many other residents regret that they
had not been more kind and attentive to
'.'Aunt Sally," as she was familiarly known
to all south York county. When the will
of Sarah Smith waa read today and filed
for probate It caused a great commotion
and every resident has tsken sides and
prospects seem good for a long and bit
ter content in the courts, and It Is all
over thla will, in which Sarah Smith left
property to the amount of $6,000 to resi
dents of McCool Junction who were not
related to her and cut off her , adopted
daughter, Florence Wright, a realdent of
McCool, with only $10.

FREMONT COMPLAINS OF COAL RATE
Greater Than Omaha with Omaha
Fremont Local Added. , -
FREMONT, Neb.. Sept. 2L Special.)'
Fremont people have read the reports of
the hearing en ths coal situation with
much Interest, as it was thought a change
In rates to conform to ths new law might
make a reduction in tha cost of western
coal here. Ths local dealers have known
for some tlms ths difference in rates In
favor of Omaha, buf It was news to many
consumers that tbs rata was higher than
ths Omaha rats, with a local rata from
Fremont added. One dealer undertook to
even up things some time ago by billing
hla coal to Omaha, than ordering It re
shlpped to Fremont at local rates, thereby
aavlng 80 cents a ton, but ths company
refused to accept the shipment unless ths
coal was unloaded Into other cars. It Is
the opinion among coal men here the road
will not reduce Fremont's coal rates, but
that the company will comply with ths
law by raising Omaha rates. All dealers
hers complain of being unable to gat Rock;
Springs . coal, though ordered several
months sgo.
