NORTHWESTERN ASKS INTERPRETATION
Ranker of Names Being- gM4 (or
te Vacant Place on the Board
t of Regent of the State
talTerslty.
(From a Btaff Correspondent.)
LINX'OLN. April 17. (Special.) Benjamin
T. White, head of the Northwestern legM
department, and Hob MeGlnnls, general
agent of the same road, at Lincoln, were
before the Btate Railway commission this
rnnrnlng for an Interpretation of the pro
vision In the commission law requiring the
railroad! to report tonnaice on all through
and local freight Mr. White wanted the
board to aet out specifically Just what waa
.wanted In order that Tila road could con
form to' the wishes of the commission. A
a result of the Inquiry the commission
rnade an order directing the railroads to
report tonnage as follows:
1 On freight which Is purely through
traffic. That la, freight which, for In
stance, originates In Council Muffs and
goes through the state to Ienrer.
t That freight which originates In the
state and has Its destination In some other
State.
That freight which originates In some
ether state and has Its destination In Ne
braska. ' The roads are alao required to report the
tonnage on all freight which orlglnatea
and terminates In Nebraska and In addi
tion a report will be asked for covering
'the amount of the receipts from every
road In the state. These reports are to be
(separate, that la, covering the branch
lines and the main Unas and the subdivis
ions of the corporations.
Under the law these reports have to be
made by August and Mr. White assured
the board his road would endeavor to
comply with the request and furnish any
Information the commission desired by
that time.
The commission alao ordered posted In
very railroad station In the state an or
der calling attention to the fact that un
der the law no railroad may charge more
than I cents a mile for tickets to destina
tions in this state. This order suggests to
the purchaser of a ticket that Inasmuch
mm tickets bought to destinations outside of
Nebraska th roads may charge t cents a
tnlle, as that Is Interstate business, the
' purchaser going out of the state should
fcuy his, ticket to the Nebraska point near
est the state line and then get off the
train and buy a ticket to the station across
th line. This would enable him to get
the full benefit of the 2-cent fare. For
Instance, If the purchaser of a ticket starts
Jrom the west end of the state for Chicago
fc should, to get the I-cent rate, buy his
tlrkat to Omaha and then at Omaha buy
i ticket on to his destination. If he does
Hot do this he will be charged the full S
eent rat If the railroads so elect. 1

Osceola Man Wants to Know.
Th commission received a leter from a
cittsen of Osceola, this morning asking for
Information which It probably will require
a railroad expert to answer. This man
wrote that the rate on a carload of corn
from Osceola to Omaha Is from 160 to W) a
car, while on live stock the rate Is from
CO to 130 a carload. He says corn Is worth
less than H cent a pound and live stock
from I to cents, snd he wants to know
why this Is thus.
Another letter, received from a Phlla
delphlnn this morning, said the writer had
invented a patent switch which absolutely
prevents a train frorh running onto an open
switch. This man Is willing to let the
commission rent out this patent on trial to
any railroad In the state, or, heTsald, he
Is willing to accept a position with the
commission and allow the members to see
how the patent works.
The commission has received Its new fur-,
nlture and la now duly Installed In what
Is now the best office In the building. Clark
Perkins, the secretsry. Is here snd at work
and the commission la now ready for the
first formal complaint.
Men Suggested for Regent.
Since the vacancy occurred on the State
Board of Regents b reason of the resig
nation of Member Calkins, various parties
have called at the executive department
and suggested men who, In their opinion,
would make good members of the board.
Among those who have been mentioned are
Senator Randall of Madison, who during
the recent session attracted considerable
attention to himself by reason of his desire
to know Intimately Just how the affairs of
the school are managed. Senator Wilts
of Cedar Is another member of the legis
lature who stands close to Governor Shel
don and In whom the governor has great
confidence, who has been mentioned for
the place, while several parties have sug
gested ths name of Hen. Peter Morteneen,
former state treasurer. In his behalf Mr.
Mortnnsen's friends argue that he is fa
miliar with the finances of the university
and with the finances and resources of the
gtate probably better than any other man,
and for that reason he would be a valuable
aid In lo-k!n after spending the nvmey ap
propriated for the use of the school. Bo far
as known, however, no one has applied for
the place and probably none of the men
mentioned knows his name hasTeen sug
gested to the executive department.
Metkews Cannot Practice.
The action of the State Board of Health
In revoking the license to practice medicine
of Dr. J. T. Mathews of Omaha was af
firmed by Judge Frost. Dr. Mathews was
accused of performing an operation which
later resulted in the death of a nurse at
Green Gables.
Oldham Appears as Attorney.
A half dozen attorneys, among whom was
Judge Oldham, who for the first time In
ten years appeared other than as a Judge,
argued for the release of M. J. Wilbur,
who has been arrested for selling liquor
without a license. Th Issue argued was
whether th municipal year In Lincoln Is
thirteen months or merely an ordinary
twelve months. Wilbur did not pay $l,RO0
and take out a liquor license at the end
of th twelve months year because he held
that with the extension of the terms of
office In the city officials the license year
waa extended on mouth. So be kept open
and was arrested. His attorneys are trying
to release him by habeas corpus. Judge
Oldham, who went off th bench yesterday,
was retained to show th court th munici
pal year la thirteen months In this Instance
and his last maiden effort before th bar
was listened to by a large crowd.
WILLIAM SIMMOKS RUNS AMUCK
Skoots On Man and Attempt to Shoot
. Anotker.
RULO. Neb., April 17. (Special.) A
bloody shooting scrap took place about
five miles southeast of Rulo about 4 o'clock
Sunday afternoon.
William Blmmons rode up behind William
Asher and shot him with a shotgun, tear-,
ing all his ribs loos from the backbone
and forcing one Into the entrails. He then
tried to shoot Ell 'Asher, but Ell's sister,
Ethel, stepped before th gun to prevent
It. Ell ran and as h was crawling
through a fenoe Simmons fired at him, but
missed. Blmmons fired three more shots
at Ell, but all missed. Simmons tried to
follow, but in crawling through th fenco
broke tha slid to his gun, rendering It use
less. He went horn, repaired the gun and soon
appeared at the Asher home. He threat
ened to kill Mr. Asher, but others present
prevented It. Simmons then rode up and
down the road, threatening the lives of
those In the houses he chanced to pass.
He continued this till midnight. A farmer
being tired of this telephoned to tha sheriff
of Brown county, Kansas, at Hiawatha
and got him out there. By this time, how
ever, Simmons had disappeared and after
several hours' search the hunt was given
up for the night. Next day Simmons ap
peared In Hiawatha and gave himself up
to th proper officials.
' It seems that conslderabafe domestic
trouble had occurred In the Simmons home
and Mrs. Simmons fled to th Robert
Asher horn for safety. .Simmons followed
her and with open knife threatened her
life. As he waa about to put his threat
Into execution Ell Asher picked up a rock.
but before he threw It William Asher
grabbed a club and hit Simmons over the
head. Without much talk Simmons went
horn and got his gun. Thinking all w
over, th Asher brothers and some young
women started out for a drive in a two
seated wagon. They had not gone far until
Blmmons overtook them and commenced
the shooting.
Two Hiawatha doctors are caring for th
wounded man, William Asher, but have po
hopes for his recovery.
Lincoln Ms. a Drop Money.
FREMONT. Neb., April 17. (Special.) H.
C. Payne of Lincoln reported to the sheriff
that h had lost (70 In a poker gam on a
Northwestern train this afternoon and he
wanted th thro men who did him up,
especially th coed looking man with the
diamond ring, arrested. It was th same old
story. Payne was coming down from Albion
and to whil away th time he Indulged In a
little gam. Just before reaching Fremont
on of th men suggested that he had a
"fair poker hand," another Intimated that
his was not a bad one either, and when
Payn looked at his and saw four kings h
thought h had a cinch, and th game waa
turned from that to poker. The bets were
raJoed until Payn had hla entire wad of
170 up. when the other man called. Payn
laid down his kings and th other showed
up four aces, grabbed th money and left
Just as the train reached th station.
Payn appears to b a pretty bright young
man, familiar with th way of th world
and not a man likely to be caught by the
old poker swindle.

NEBRASKA CITY Since Dunbar has
been a village it has always had one cr
more saloons and it seems strange that a
question should be raised as to granting a
1. cense again, but such Is the case. One of
the ministers there some time ago asked
permission to educate hie children ut home,
claiming that he did not want them to at
tend school where money received from sa
loons was used in defraying the expenses
of the schools. This man is now trying to
Induce all to refrain from signing a petition
for a saloon license snd the prospects are
that he will succeed.

NEBRASKA CITY-Mayor John W.
Sieinhart, at the regular meeting of the
city council, delivered his annual address,
in which he made a good showing for his
administration. He took a decidedly ad
vanced stand in favor of the enforcement
of ail the laws, particularly In regard to
the selling of liquor and gambling, and
promlse3 to follow the example set by
Omaha curtailing the selling of liquor by
drug store. During the year he reduced
the debt fc3.D00, and will withdraw $3,500 In
a few months. Last year all public places
of gambling were out, but gambling has
been carried on at other places quietly. He
asked that the city ordinances be compiled
and, in conclusion, after discussing non- .
enforcement of the laws, said: "My policy '
during the coming year will be more ag- 1
greewlve; non-compliance with the orders ,
will le followed up by strenuous measures, t
and in that way try and enforce an Im
proved condition.
