LINCOLN. April 15. (Special.) Judge
I lamer of Kearney waa In the office of
Secretary Junkln a (Jay or two ago look
Ing up the bill vetoed by Governor Shel
don appropriating (15,000 for an addi
tion to the Kearney Normal achool. It
la understood soma of tire people In Rear
ney who are throwing fits over the veto
hare It In mind to take the matter into
court an the theory that the governor
failed to take action on the measure until
after the five daya allowed him by the
constitution to act on measures. If this
were true the bill would have become a
law without action by the governor. Ac
cording to the legislative record the five
daya after adjournment would have been
up at midnight Wednesday. According to
the time thla bill reached the governor
thla would have been tne time. Wednes
day, before midnight, Governor Sheldon
railed up Secretary of State Junkln to
"ome down town and accept several meas
ures which he had acted upon, among
them being the Kearney Normal achool
appropriation. Mr. Junkln did not come
down, but the numbers of the bills were
given to him and accepted, though the
bills did not actually reach him until the
next morning.
Thomas May Lose Pla.
It la understood her that Superin
tendent Thomas is the one person more
sorely distressed over the veto than any
one else, and it Is also understood It was
largely his eentlmenta expressed In
Kearney paper regarding the veto and
Governor Sheldon. Thla may lead to 0
whole lot of changes ahovtly, because Gov
ernor Sheldon is anxious to have an ad
ministration at peace and harmony with
himself. It has been auggested he could
In the Interest of harmony have Superin
tendent Thomas removed from his posi
tion and get a superintendent who would
do the beat he could with the means at
hand. Thla could be done. It has been
suggested, by appointing someone else
In harmony with the governor's views in
place of Tom Majors on the normal board
and then appoint another person In placa
of Member Gregg, who has always stood
sponsor for Thomas. Majors' time is out
shortly, but It Is understood if the gov
ernor hinted at such a thing Mr. Gregg
could be Induced to resign and make way
for peace and harmony. With two ap
pointees who would no doubt reflect his
views and with Treasurer Brian and Su
perintendent McBrten a majority of tho
rormal board, there la said to be no doubt
Mr. Thomaa could be spared the trouble
and worry of trying to run a achool in
a building too small for the purpose.
Stores Tiro of Betas; Robbed.
Two young women, heretofore highly re
spected, who have been employed at the
Hot of Rudge & Guenxel for some years,
were aaught pilfering from their employers
Saturday and several dollars' worth of
silks and laces waa recovered In their
room. Both young women were dis
charged, but wilt not be prosecuted. Inas
much as from four to six young women
have been caught stealing In this store
annually, the firm today notified all em-
ployes they wrruld be placed under bonds,
the firm to pay the coat of the bond and
hereafter an employe caught stealing would
be turned over to the tender mercies of a
bonding company and prosecuted to the
limit of the law. Pilfering among employes
has been going on to such an extent In
Lincoln that thla firm last year brought
In several detectives and placed them In
the atora with the result that several old
and trusted employes were discharged.
Other stores took up the plan with the
earns result.
Trooblo Over Bills.
Bills contracted on behalf oh the state
subsequent to April 1. 1907. to be paid out
of the appropriations made by the legis
lature of 1906. are going to have hard sled
ding because Deputy Auditor Cook holds
that while the appropriations do not lapse
until the last day of August, It la beyond
Ms authority to Uauo a warrant to pay
a debt contracted after April 1. He In
terprets the constitution to mean that be
lated bills for work contracted prior to
April 1 ahall be paid out of the appropria
tions of the subsequent legislature up to
the last of August but that It does not
mean that bills may be contracted after
April L - The matter has been passed up
to the legal department for an official
opinion, and . while Mr. Thompson haa not
yet given his decision. It Is likely he will
hold with the deputy auditor.
Assessors to Be Elected This Yeor.
A fact which la not generally known Is
that county assessors are to be elected thla
fall In every county In the state. When
the biennial election laws were enacted
two years ago, among other terms of
county officers extended was that of county
assessor, which was lengthened one year.
This would make the selection of these of
ficers occur In 1M. Alf of the biennial
election laws, except this one, were knocked
out by the supreme court, and this one
waa not tested. The recent legislature.
however, enacted a law which requires
the assessors to be elected this fall. This
means that after the November election
the flute Board of Assessment wilt not
only have to achool ninety new asaesoors
in the provisions of the law, but the secre
tary will also hsve to Instruct the new as
sessors regarding the handling of property
under the terms of the terminal tax law.
Thla new law will have to be tested first
by assessors who have had no experience
in thia line of work, aa the county asses
sor Is not eligible for re-election.
Move to Disbar Captain Fisher.
Attorney General Thompson, It Is under
stood tomorrow will file In the supreme court
papers for the disbarment of Captain
Fisher of Chadron for alleged unprofes
sional conduct. The claims committee of
the house, which investigated Captain
Fisher's connection with the Oedde claims
before the legislature, recommended that
thla be done, and turned over to the legal
department of the state all the evidence
taken in this matter.
Objeets to Post's Report.
Attorney General Thompson filed In the
supreme court today formal objections to
the report of Referee Post recommending
that the suit against all but two of the
lumber dealers be dismissed, and holding
the Nebraska Lumber Dealers' asoclatlon
not guilty of attempting to restrain trade.
The attorney general also asked for thirty
days in which to brief the caae of the state.
Tho objections of the attorney general
were to the part of the findings of the
referee relating to the statement that the
association waa not guilty aa an associa
tion.
Governor's Mother ierlonsly 111.
Late this afternoon a message waa re
ceived from Governor Sheldon, who has
been at Nehawka for two days, that the
condition of his mother had not changed
and he would remain at her home at least
tonight. The message Is taken to mean
that the condition of Mrs. Sheldon Is very
serious.
Berge Sues Racer.
I Charging with bod faith and fraud Frank
O. Eager, sometime owner and publisher
of the Nebraska Independent, a political
weekly lately merged by the Journal com
pany, George W. Berge haa begun suit In
district court to recover $8,000 damages, the
alleged amount of net loss to him by virtue
of a journalistic venture.
According to the allegations of the peti
tion, Barer represented to Berge that the
paper waa reasonably worth $11,500. Thia
Mr. Berge believed. Ignorant aa he admit)
himself to be In the matter of printing
machinery and newspaper adjuncts. E)ager
also displayed the subscription list, it is
alleged, showing 14,000 subscriber. Mr.
Berge found out after paying the $11,500 de
manded, that the plant, good will and sub
scription list were valued at no more than
$5,000. He also found that most of the names
on the subscription list were not bona fide,
he asserts, and that thousands of names
had been affixed by Mr. Eager just before
the transfer of the property.
Mr. Berge slso charges that, though It
waa stipulated that he waa to have the sole
copy In existence of the subscription list,
other persons now have copies, among them
T. H. Tibbies, a former editor cf the Inde
pendent; Charles Q. De France, formerly
connected with the paper, but now with
Tom Watson's magazine, and others whom
Mr. Berge does not know. Mr.Eager also
haa a copy, alleges Berge.
By the terms of the contract, says Berge,
Eager waa not to ally himself with any
other periodical dealing with political sub
Jecta, and thereby become in any way a
competitor. But in thla, he has played
false, says Bwe, for he haa provided
oodles of the 1. pendent subscription list
to Tom Watson's magaslne and also to the
Omaha Investigator, a weekly political
journal.

The Grand Island Independent recalls the
fact that In April. 1871, Mr. Thorp brought
159 families to Hall and Buffalo counties.

of that party would be Interesting.

In closing a letter from Mexico to the
Custer County Chief, former Senator Currle
writes: "The Mexicans have made progress
In many lines since my last visit, three
years ago, but they are still backward in
the matter of stock breeding. None of the
good breeds of cattle are seen here. They
are the same long-homed, hamlpss, sun-finished-ribbed,
deer-limbed races that
were here hundreds of years ago. We are
told that our breeds dstlorate quickly
and are not nearly so prolific as the natives
and, after all, are not so profitable.
Agents in Demand The Burlington has a
fierce time of It to keep an agent at this
place. Agent Harrell has resigned, the
night operator has resigned and nearly
every one employed at this station gets
enough of the Job in a few weeks. The
reason Is that there is about twice as
much work as there are men to do It and
the employes decline to become slaves. To
an outsider It looks as though the com
pany ought to bestir Itself and handle this
station In a manner befitting its Importance
and the amount of business done. Scott's

$140.00, other roads have done similarly, and they didn't traverse a country offering gi eater
earning possibilities than does this. THE OMAHA & NEBRASKA CENTRAL is bound to do as well.

GOVERNMENT RESTS ITS CASE
Prosecution Beaches. Period in Trial of
Prominent Land Men.
SAME OLD STORY OF HOW FILINGS CAME
Much Evidence and Many Witnesses
Instrumental In Former Convic
tions Are Potent la the
Present Cases.
"The government rests."
Such was the announcement made by
Special Assistant Attorney General 8. R.
Rush In the rand trial before Judge T. C.
Munger of the federal court Monday after
noon at 4 o'clock.
The last witness examined was James I.
Armell, an old soldier from the Mllford
Soldiers' Home, one of the group of a
dozen old soldiers who were Induced to
make filings within the Spade ranch en
closure by Ami B. Todd and others. His
story waa similar to those of the other
soldier witnesses. When he was asked by
Todd to make the filing he said:
"I told him I would never go on the land
to live1, as I was too old to go out there.
Todd told me It would not be necessary
for me to live on the land, and so with
that understanding I made the filing."
The hearing, with T. M. Huntington, Fred
Hoyt and Ami B. Todd as defendants, was
resumed "Monday morning. The first
witness was Charles G. Simmona, an old
soldier from the Mllford Soldiers' homo.
His testimony related to his having made
a declaratory statement and filing on a
section of land at the solicitation of A. B.
Tcdd and others without expense of any
kind and the understanding that the land
could be sold to the cattlemen for $309 upon
final proof, sltould he be disposed to sell It.
On of Former Witnesses.
Simmons waa one of the witnesses In the
Richards and Comstock trial and his evi
dence was a duplicate of that given In that
trial. He further said T. M. Huntington
had been designated In the N declaratory
statement aa the agent with power of at
torney to locate the land under the declara
tory statement, although the witness under,
stood that another party had been named
for thle purpose at first, but that Hunting
ton's name was afterward Inserted aa the
agent. He could not recall the name of the
agent first named.
About a dozen other old soldiers from the
Mllford horn gave similar testimony dur
ing the forenoon seaelon of the court and
each testified he had no Intention of living
on the land, but that his general under
standing waa the leasing of the land was
equivalent to settlement and cultivation
under the meaning of the land laws and
rulings of tha land commissioner. All of
these witnesses testified similarly at the
former trial.
Last Witness for Government.
With the conclusion of Armell's evidence
the examination of witnesses by the gov
ernment was dispensed wllh.
Several letters were read from Bartlett
Richards to one Fred J. Houghton of Chad
ron, In which Richards gave him directions
relative to 'certain old soldier filings that
wore deficient In some qualities and an
nouncing that In one Instance a frlnmlly
filing had been made over one of these
filings, as the location was an important
one. Houghton waa a land agent at Chad
ron, who Is alleged to have worked In
collusion with Richards, Comstock, Hunt
ington, Hoyt and Todd, and one of the
letters closed with the observation: "I
have no means of knowing about these
filings except as you advise me." Houghton
was advised to give one old soldier, named
Martin, 15 to quiet him," as there was an
error In his filing and as he could not re
linquish the matter hnd better be left to
rest and to fix the matter with Martin
for $5." ,
The government attorneys then announced
that the government rested, but reserved
the right to call other witnesses. If after
consultation it may become neceseary.
The defense expects to put about fifteen
witnesses on the stand and will begin Its
evidence this morning.- It now looks as If
the case may be finished Tuesday or
Wednesday.
