Annual January Sale of Muslins,
Sheets arid Pillow Cases
People are beginning to realize that prices on cotton goods have gone up along with other
necessities of life.- The fact of the matter is, they have been going up almost every day for the
last two years. We bought months ago, anticipating a rising market. Since then prices have
gone up at a bound. The last advance was Vfcc'per yard, just think of it. But in spite of all this,
we shall cut the prices. And so we say, "Buy now and share with us the advantages we enjoy
because we placed our contracts early. , . . .

suit is brought to test the constitutionality

Hudson J. YVinnett; Robert Cowell snd J

truded himself Into said pretended office
and have each taken sn oath of office
to faithfully perform the duties of said
pretended office of state railway commis
sioner of the state of Nebraska, and that
they and each of them are now usurping
the functions of said pretended office and
aie Jointly threatening to exercise and
perform the pretended duties of regulating
rates, services and the general control ot
common carrier In the stat of Nebraska,
and to do and purform any other duties
now prescribed by law and any that may
hereafter be authorised by the legislature
and conferred upon said alleged state fall
way commission, and are each claiming
any emoluments of office that now are or
that may hereafter be by the legislature
provided as the salary of the members

That after thus taking said pretended oath

are threatening and are about to tak pos
session of and occupy certain ruoma ill
the state rapltol building of the state of
Nebraska as office rooms for use aa said
pretended State Railway commission and
to furnish and equip the same at public
exprnae.
Whetefore your relator hereby challenges
the legal existence of any such office as
Stale Railway commission, stat railway
commissioner or state railway commission
ers cf the state of Nebraska;' challenges
the right, title and authority of re
spondents and each of theru to Intrude

legally el cted thereto, and whether they
have qualified or are entitled to oualitv

farther relief aa th fact In the premise
and the law demand. -
"Th big .fight of thl legislature will
be over th taxation ef railroad terminal
for municipal purposea," said a member
who bad been out lu the stat over gun-
day. "I met a couple of members who
are full of the Idea that to tax railroad
terminals for local purpose will be" to
tak from the school funds of the various
districts of the state. I told them It wm
merely an additional tax levied for city
purposes and that otherwise th present
law would npt be changed. The railroad.
I believe, are working overtime on this
proposition and they ar employing men
not well known as railroad lobbyists to
do their work for them."
Th Lincoln evening fake sheet refers
to Clarke of IYiuglas county ns having
pledged himself to Vote against Norrls
Brown and then repudiated the pledge.
It Is presumed this wa done to prejudice
the members sgalnst the author of the
terminal taxation bill. As a matter of
fart. In the morning edition of th fak
sheet published In the early part of Oc.
tober Is a letter signed by Mr. Clark In
which tt I stated that he was not present
st the Yelser meeting and repudiated th
action rt that meeting. The fak heet
baa said It will correct the mistake.
Cone of Saunders, supposed to be door
leader of the minority, has stacked away
a lot of things to be brought out at reg
ular Intervals and tossed In on the re
publicans In order to get them stirred up
or rattled. This afternoon he got off one
ft his spouts and It was ruled out of
order quick enough to make his head
swim. He objected to the speaker nam
ing the standing committees to work with
a senate committee on platform measures.
He talked of the same things the other
day and was squelched. Here is what he
offered today.
As an individual member of this house
I respectfully object to the api , ointment
st this time of any Joint committee to
draft measures to present to this body for
the following reasons:
First It is a destruction of the Individ
ual and constitutional rights of every
member of this tvdy.
Second It In effect destroys the effi
ciency of the standing committees.
Third It takes the legislation dele
gated by the vote of the state from the
liands of the whole membership and
places It In the hand of a few men until
the measure of Individual members can
not be considered without prejudice.
Fourth All this centralisation of rower
Is not to the best Interests of this stat.
It Is a dangerous precedent to be estab
lishing. And all of this I contrary to
the spirit of our Institutions, that ran
but In the end subject this body to un
warranted criticism.
I move that further consideration rf
the appointment of such Joint committee
be dispensed with until after the fortieth
day of this Session.
Speaker Nettleton Is working on a bill
he will Introduce shortly providing that
telephones shall come under the Jurisdic
tion of the State Railway commission,
which shall have power to compel different
systems to connect up their lines, to trans
mit messages and to regulate rates to bs
charged. Bills have already been Intro
duced to compel telephone lines to con
nect, but this bill will leave the whole mat
ter to the railway commissioners.

Sooth Dnkotans Court Investigation.
The South Dakota delegation In Wash
ington, arid by that Is meant 8enator Klt
tredge and Representatives Burke and Mar
tin, ar fighting nutd over the speech made
by State Senator Dillon of South Dakota
that Senator Gamble and his friends
courted the fullest Investigation regarding
the charges made against him, but that ths
Investigation must include the entire South
Dakota delegation In congress. The speech
made by Mr. Dillon In the senatorial cau
cus created consternation for a little
while among the South Dakotans here. It
was finally decided to accept the gauntlet
thus thrown down by Stat Benator Dillon
and today the following telegram was sent:
Hon. C. H. Dillon. Pierre, 8. D.: News
papers Just received report you stated be
fore senatorial caucus that Senator Gamble
and his friends court full Investigation by
legislature, but must Include whole con
gressional delegation. W accept chal
lenge, request Investigation Immediately
and ask fullest Inquiry Into all our official
act. To this end we will respond promptly
to any call of legislature.-

This probably la a swan song of Senator
Klttredgs and his associates, for It Is gen
erally expected In Washington that 8ena
tor Gamble reads his title clear and will
be his own successor. '
Date for Tax Case.
Congressman Hlnhaw today presented
the order and stipulation entered Into be
tween the sttorneys representing ths state
of Nebraska and the railroads growing out

son requested Mr. Hlnahaw to enter stipu
lation. Maxwell Evarta. representing th
railroad. Intimated that January 21 would
not uit and asked for a later date. To
day a telegram was received from Mrt
John M. Baldwin asking that th dat be
set by the court, which would lndlcat that
January a 1 satisfactory. The court will
probably decide the date tomorrow.
