slble for It.
LINCOLN. April SO. (Special.) The Btate
Railway, 'commission will makt a schedule
of rates for all railroads In Nebraska on
May T. A circular was sent out bj the
commission today to all the railroads noti
fying them of this fact and calling their
attention to the' law which requires the
roads to file their schedules of rates with
the commission. This has not been done,
but the circular calls attention to the pen
alty provided for a failure to do this. Tho
circular Is as follows:
Whereas, Section five of the railway
cnmmlnaton act makes It the duty of this
commission to fix a schedule and classifi
cation of rates and charges for the trans
portation of freight, etc., between the dif
ferent polqtn wltnln this state; and
Whereas, The said law requires the 'com
mon carrier doing business In this stnte
to rile with this commission on or before
April J7, 1907, all freight and passenger
approve an appropriation for liO.noo. Oould
of Greeley, who was a member of the
senate finance committee, suggested cutting
the appropriation to fS.onfi, and he suc
ceeded In grttlr.g the committee to rec
ommend this amount. Again the governor
sent -word-to the Kearney lobbyists that
they could not get more than IVi.ooO. Luther
P. Luddcn, a member of the State Normal
board. Insisted that the Kearney member
accept liAflno. A meeting of the Normal
board was held and the appropriation was
discussed. At this meeting Ludden rec
ommended ths $.v,oo, but' Oregg and
Thomas would not stand for It. but ar
gued thnt If they could get the bill through
not for what we have used, but lor what
we )Hve wasted.
For the nation as for ths man or womsn
snd the boy or girl, the road to success is
the right ue of what we have and the
Improvement of present opportunities. If
you neglect to prepare youisell now tor
the dunes and renponslbllitles which will
tall upon you later; II you do not learn
the tnmgs which you will need to know
when your school days are over, you will
sulier the consequences. So any nation
which In Its youth lives only for the day,
reaps without sowing, and consumes with
out, husbanding, must expect the penalty
of the prodigal, whose labor could with
difficulty find him the hare means of life.
A people without children would face a
hopeless future; a country without trees
Is almost as helpless; forests which are
so used that they cannot renew themselves
will soon vanish, and with them all their
benefits. A true forest la not merely a

were then asked to put the appropriation
In two Items, but they refused to do this,
because, they said, the governor would
likely veto one of them. The bill was then
log rolled through the senate and went' to
the s-oTernor. It was necessary for him
to cut out ISrt.OOO. and he did. the normal
appropriation being In the list."
How Board Members Feel.
As to whether the Normal school needed
the 1100.000 or not. the members of the State
Normal School boarr" are the best
j Judges. Member McBrlen, state su
j perlniendent. was for ' a bill carrying
J PA 000. Rev. Mr. Iudden, another mem-
ber of the board,, was In favor of
the appropriation for fBO.ooo and urged
Oregg and Thomns to accept thnt amount.
schedules, classification, rates, ' tariffs and i other member of the board, so far as
the records show, waji here looking after
the larger appropriation. Gregg was ths
only one who made a flght for It Hon.
Peter Mortensen. for four years n member
of the board, was opposed to the $100,000
and publicly said $15,000 would be sufficient
for the needs of the school. Members of
thethouse understood the governor would
veto the appropriation if It were over 160,030.
and It Is the general belief that It could
never have passed the house, and senate
except for the public Information that the
governor would not approve the measure.
It was eeml-publlc property that the Kear
ney member of the board expected Norris
Brown to Influence the'govemor to change

Whereas, Tills commission Is not.yet ad
vised as. to the intrastate rates Tiow In
force In this state; and
Whereas, It is Impossible to make a re
adjustment or revision of the rates, etc.. In
this atate, txeept after ascareful examina
tion and study of the question; and
' For the purpose of, complying with the
law and 'n order to establish a basis for
future action by this commission;
Notice Is hereby given to all common
carriers and shippers doing business within
ths state of Nebraska that the Railway
Commission of Nebraska will, on the 7th
dny of May, OT. at Its office In Lincoln,
Nebraska, ' consider the question of fixing
rates, schedules, classifications, tariffs and
charges for the transportation of merchan
dise, property, messages, etc., by the Com
mon carriers between points within the
state of Nebraska and will then adopt the
schedules, ilaaslflcattons. rates, tariffs and
charges used hy the common carriers In
Nebraska betVeen points In Nebrsska and
In effect January 1, 1S07, with such modi
fications as may be deemed necessary, un
less good and sufficient reason for other
aetlon Is established. '
, Attention .Is also tailed to sub-section
C) of section li of the said act, which
provides that It shall be unlawful for any
railway company or common carrier to
charge any rate, schedule, or classification
' until application has been made to the
railway commission and permission' had
for that purpose. Any railway company
or common carrier violating this provision
shall be deemed gallty of a misdemeanor,
and on , conviction thereof shall be fined
In any sum not exceeding ten thousand
(110,010) dollar.
Limits Passes to Attorneys.
In an opinion given to the county attor
ney of Cass county Attorney General
Thompson today held that It Is unlawful
Under the nntl-pasa law for an attorney
employed less than half of his time by a
railroad to receive free transportation, even
though he Is subject to call at any time
by the corporation and It has first call on
Ms services. He holds that the Intent of
the legislature was to prevent anyone not
exempted Yrom the provisions of the law
from receiving transportation at less than
tho rates charged the general public.
Kearney Mea to Blame.
' Inasmuch bs some people at Kearney be
came 1 so Incensed at the action of Gov
ernor Sheldon In vetoing the normal school
appropriation of $85,000 that they hanged
the editor of the Kearney Democrat In
effigy because he upheld the chief execu
tive of the state In his action, It Is be
lleved here that the people of Kearney are
not acquainted with the facts In the case
and , they are venting their anger on the
wrong person, and therefore the (acts
should be published and ths blame placed
on C. H. Oregg and A. O. Thomas, who
were In reality the men who kept Kearney
from getting an appropriation. One who
was here during the entire legislature and
kept close tab on this particular measure
gave the following history of the Kearney
bllli
"The bill as Introduced carried an appro
priation of $100,000 and t passed the house.
All of this time Gregg and Thomas were
in Lincoln working for the bill. When It
reached the senate Governor Sheldon pub
licly stated he would not permit any ap
propriation to go through In excess of the
estimated revenue of the state and that he
would not sign a bill carrying $100,000 for
the Kearney normal. He did say publicly,
however, and be said It to Gregg and
Thorn aa, or cne of them, that he would

The value of forestry deserves, therefore,
to Vie taught In the schools, which aim to
make good cltlxens of you. If your Arbor
day exercises help you to realise what
benefits each one of you receives from the
forests and how, by your assistance, these
benefits may continue, they will serve a
good end.
Telephone Company Incorporates.
The Independent Telephone company of
Omaha filed Its articles of Incorporation
with the secretary of state this afternoon.
Its capital stock la $5,000,000 and the filing
feo was $2,502, one of the largest. If not
the largest, fees ever paid for filing cor
poration articles In Nebtaska. The Incor
porators are F. 11. Stow, W. It. Ely and
Benjamin F. Baker. Of the stock $3,500,000
Is to be preferred and $1,500,000 common.
Fifteen thousand shares of each at $100 a
share are to be sold and paid for at the
time the corporation comes Into existence.
Bonds may be Issued by the board of di
rectors, three of whom shall be bona fide
residents of Omaha.
Tremble of the Tiara Tree.
Governor Sheldon today rabbed hold of
the plum tree and shook and shook and
shook, and a big crowd was close around
watching, as a downpour was expected. It
was -a nice little plum that fell, and It
dropped to Mrs. J. C. F. McKesson. It
was to be a member of the visiting board
to the Industrial school at Mil ford, a posi
tion she now holds.

board ffels about the veto, the following
statement from Superintendent McBrlen is
published:
"It mle-M not be out of place here to call
attention to what the state has done for
the State Normal school at Kearney as
compared with what It has done for the
Btate Normal at Peru. The legislature of
1003 appropriated $60,000 for a normal achool
building at Kearney; In 1906 $15,000 for a
heating plant there, making a total .of
$fio,0OO. The propoaal of the citlsens of
Kearney to the Board of Education of the
State Normal schools to locate the new
State Normal school there contained the
following subsidy: (a) Twenty-acre site,
$10,000; (b) Green Terrace building, $50,000;
(c) Repairing Green Terrace buUding.
$1,000; (d)Water right from Lake Kearney,
$10,000; (e) Saving to state for sewer system
and water mains, $20,000, total $91,000. Tho
members of the -executive committee, speak
lng fof the citlsens of Kearney, IrV. their
proposal said: , 'This amount i$!l,00Cl being
a conservative estimate of the coit to the
state for providing these necessary essen
tials.' This $01,000, plus $66,000. makes $15,
000, amount of the state's property in the
State Normal school at Kearney."
"In the beginning of Peru, Mount Vernon
hall, built In 1866 by subscriptions amount
ing to $8,000, and a site valued at about
$1,000,- were given to the stat when tne
normal" school waa established there a year
later. The appropriations by the state have
been as follows: (a) In 18C, for completion
of dormitory already started by subscrip
tion. $10,CO0; (b) In 1872, north wing main
hiiii.iinr 128.000: ic . In. 1873. power house.
$3,000; (d) In 1877, library building, frame,
$1&,000; (e) In 1885, south wing main build
ing, $20,000; (f) in 1897, dormitory to replaoe
old one destroyed by fire, $20,000; (g) in 1903,
new chapel, $42,500; (h) in lu6. new library.
$32,000; (I) In 1905, remodeling old library
for science hall, $2,800; (J) In 1907. heating
plant. $26,000; total. Including site and Origi
nal Mount Vernon hall. $207,300.
Comparison of Two Schools.
"In four years the state has made a per
manent Investment of $150,000 at Kearney.
In forty, years It has made a permanent
Investment of $207,300 at Peru. Peru has
had to turn away mf.i students than Kear
ney during the laaC year. Under the in
creased entrance requirements at the State
Normal schools, Kearney will be no more
crowded than Peru during the current bien
nlum. In the light of the facts set forth
herein, it Is safe to say that the real
danger to the success of the Btate Normal
school at Kearney lies not In the veto of
Governor Sheldon, but In the attitude of ths
Kearney Hub and the Fremont Herald.
We want the State Normal schools, both
at Kearney and at Peru, to prosper and
to grow greater In, their Influence and
power for good from year to year. In my
opinion the -next leglalature should make
an appropriation of $50,000 for new build
ings at each of these schools. But no eau-
cattonal Institution, public or private, must
be promoted at the expense of the common
schools. The common schools have waited
long and patiently for their hearing, and
the people of the state, regardless' of po
litical affiliations, will approve the action
of the last legislature and Governor Shel
don In their attitude toward the common
schools, which are of, by and for the peo
ple. The logic of time win vinaicaie gov
ernor Sheldon's every act In the matter of
pproprlatlons."
As a matter of fact It is oeuevea aruui.u
here that Mr. Gregg and Mr. Thomas are
more put out because the legislature
passed the junior normal school" bill and
tt was approved by the governor than over
the veto of the appropriation bill. This
bill creates three more Junior normals.

t'NIVERSITT PLACE, Neb., April 20.
(Special.) The Intercollegiate debate be
tween Doane and Wesleyan In the Audi
torium Friday night resulted In a decisive
victory for Wesleyan. The Doane debaters
were George La Reu, C. R. Smith and
Sloniger. Those representing Wesleyan
were Miss Ethel Brlggle, Rose Gortner and
A. C. Hlsey. It had been requested by
the. chairman. Prof. Patterson, that there
be no yelling during the debate, so the
occasion lacked enthusiasm until the time
for the Judges' decision. Then, too, ship
subsidy, which was the subject discussed,
does not appeal to Kebraskans as do some
questions more local In their Import. The
home team had -by far the best training
in public delivery. The Judges were Lin
coln men, mostly professors of the State
university.

The association Is to be known as the
Grain Dealers' Protective association with
headquarters In this ctty, and tt Is for
the mutual benefit, and protection of its
members and to put a stop to unjust
weights at terminals and other discrim
inations to which the grain men of this
territory have been subjected In the past.
The committee to which waa referred the
legal phase of the association made a par

another meeting to be called shortly.
The association retained attorneys Pltxer
and Hay ward, to look after the matter of
what rights they have to bring suits for

the shortage of cars and unjust discrim
ination at terminal points. A number of
suits will be Instituted aa soon as the
papers can be prepared and the data se
cured on which to base them. The grain

Upland girla, about 14 years old, caused
considerable excitement last night by at
tempting to run away, when tney were

neighboring towns were called up by tele

they had run away with some young men.
About 11 o'clock one of the parties who
drove out discovered them In the hills
about six mile south of town and brought
them back. On being Interrogated no in
formation whatever could be gleaned as
to their Intentions In running away, ex
