to be carried on. There Is on hand now
and unfinished the Oraln trust case, tho
State Journal suit, the Lumber trust case
and the railrond tax cases. This latter
case Is In the hands of the United Statea
supreme court, but It cannot be argued
until after the first of the year, when Mr.
Thompson assumes the head of the office,
i rractlcally nothing haa been done in the

McBrlen want the state to pay for the

asking them to get out extra editions con

bill amounts to llju.42. ' These telegnims
war went out In addition to the messages
wired by Secretary of State Galuslia asking
for special editions because tha resular
elltl..n In homo Instances did not give
the required thirteen weeks' time for the
publication of the amendments. Mr. Ga
lusha did not put in his bill to the state
for the messages he tent. The other state
officers had no - neet to aend any mes
sages, but merely did so, they explained,
to reinforce the request of the secretary
of stata and to impress the country editors
with the hnportence of acting. At that
tlma the question of poj'lng for the tele

That the patients of the Orthopedic hos
pital are not given enough food or the
light kind of food Is said to be due to the
superintendent of the Home for the Frlend-
less refusing to allow the hospital authori
ty a to draw on the funds for the home,
'as she was told to do by the State Board
of public Liitids and Buildings. The re
port that the head nurse had not drawn
her salary for some time, bat was working
on credit Is false, because she has re
ceived her warrants regularly. The bill

be no deficiency, but the bewrd Interpreted
the appropriation for the Home of the
Friendless to mean available funds that
could be used fof the hospltul and If nec
esaary a deficiency could be created In
this fund. Mrs. -Johnson, It la . claimed,
does not want a deficiency and for that
reason she refuses to provide delicacies
which the patients In the hospital need.
In this It Is snld she haa tho backing of
the governor, who appointed her, while the
bonrd wanta her to furnish what the pa

EROKBN BOW. Neb., Nov. 13. (Special.)
William W. Hlllla, who was shot and
killed by J. F. Wallage at Grand Island last
Saturday, seemed to have acquired an un
savory reputation In more places than one.
In November, 1898. he came to Broken
Bow and rented rooms for tonument put-
poses of 1. A. Rcncau. a well known real
estate man of this city. As ha traveled
with a sporty bunch, and had no visible
means of support. It was but a short time
bot'oio auspicious rumors began to circu
late. However, ho succeeded In lying close
to shelter until the latter part of Decem
ber of the same year, when rumor and
suspicion became busier than ever, and the
officials determined to make a thorough in.
vesttgatlon. A raid upon his apartments
was accordingly made, but Hillis had been
'tinned off" bv some of the "inner clr-
j cIe and ,Ucceeded In making a etragetlc
get away" by procuring one of the beat
j 1)very rlg, ln town and uklnr a midnight
drhH acres the line Into Buffalo county.
The apartmenta yielded Up a complete
"layout," however, und enough evidence
secured to convince the town that ho had
been running an illegitimate game, with the
assistance of a few "bloods," who made
It their special business to keep atrlctly ln
the background. It afterward came out
that Hlllla had had a serioua row with one
of bis patrona, who, had it not been for
timely Interference, would then and thera
have robbed Mr. Wallace of hla opportun
ity of putting the gambler underground.

whether or not the freight rates fixed by

the witness declared that the Burlington
freight ratea were from 23 to to per cent

"The method of keeping accounts adopted
by the Burlington Is not falj In showing
the apportionment In Missouri earnings."
Fisher testified. "Rates here are from 13
to X per cent higher than In Iowa or
Illinois, and the earnings are 90 per cent
greater. Two reasons may be assigned for
this. First, the higher rates: second, the
density of population and traffic."
"What were the net earnings per mile
on the entire system In lfc'l?" asked At
torney General Hartley.
"They were $2,347."
"What were the earnings in Missouri?'
"They were (5.110."
"What were the net earnings per mile on

"They wero (:'.534.M."

"They wore (4,33.41."
Fisher will be cross-examined by the at

The Burlington, contending that It cannot
adhere to the ratea on furniture, live stock,
agricultural implements and lumber und
make a profit, secured a temi .ary Injunc

officials from enforcing the law. Two weeks
were spent hearing evidence In the case
In Chicago recently, when Attorney General
Hadley attempted to enow that the rate
fixed by law Is reasonable.
C. I. Sturgls of Chloago, general auditor
of the Burlington system, testified us to the
cost and maintenance of the system and
gave figures to show that If the maximum
freight law had been enforced against his

The- demurrer Is based on the grounds
that tha allegations of the Indictment art

that the r'efr-ndaut ta not bound to answer j

Richardson Savea Money.
RULO.. Neb.. Nov. V2. (Special.) Th
first . county bridge work was done last
week and shows a remarkable saving to
the county. The county was busy repairing
tho bridge near Jacob Hunkers' farm,
northeast of Falls City. The work being
completed and the expense figured up at
$116.88. .The same bridge, if it had been re-
I paired by the Gllllgan Bridge company
j under the contract offered would have cost
j the county J176.4T. In this one bridge alono
( there was a clear saving of W.59 In face
! of the fBct that this timber was bought
at local yards In the county and paid for
at retail prices. When the county bridge
j gang Is running steadily the lumber can
; be bought cheaper and by buying In quan-
titles larger savings can be realised. It is
estimated that the county can save I17.0JU
each year by building its own bridges.
