SECOND OF ROADS TO FILE SCHEDULES Stat Officials Talk of Teatlae; Rntlnaj aa to Whrthrr Old Apnraprlatlaae Lapae March 81 Faaeral of Mrs. Sheldon. (From a Staff Correspond"') LINCOLN. April 26. (Special.) A nun of documents filling a dry goods box nearly to the brim was carted Into the ofllce of the State Railway commission today and de livered over to the custody of that body. The papers represented the freight and passenger tariff schedules In force on the I'nlon Pacific railroad, both for state and Interstate business. K. B. Blosson, general agent of the I'nlon Pacific In Lincoln, made the delivery with the aid of a van. Agent Slnsson's action was In conform ance with the law enacted by the recent legislature requiring all railroad companies transacting business In Nebraska to file their schedules with the commission. The Union Pacific la the second railroad to recognise the law. the Northwestern being the first. The statute specifies that all schedules shall be on file not later than April 27 of each year. The Burlington, Missouri raciflc. Rock Island and the others are expected to make their deliveries tomorrow. The commission la also flooded with rate schedules sent In by upward of 100 Inde pendent telephone companies, which also are required by the law to file copies of their rate charges with the commission. With the schedules coming from the rail roads, express companies, street car com panies, lnterurban lines, telephone com panies and telegraph companies, the office of the commission blda fair to be over crowded with documents, taxing both the office force and the capacity of the com mission's headquarters In the capital. It will be a new deal In Nebraska to witness the subservience of the various public serv ice corporations to the law of the Mate, but all of them are expected to fall Into line and respect the statute. In the two weeks time since the rail way commission organised, Its correspond ence has grown to a point where the office force Is fairly swamped In taking care of It. From fifty to a hundred letters are coming In every day, and a large propor tion of them require answers. In addition, It la necessary to notify the railroads and other carriers of grievances coming before the commission. If this condition keeps up for any length of time. It will become necessary to provide more atenographlcal help. Something over $2,000 still remains In the $30,000 fund allowed by the legisla ture, for salaries of the commission and Its assistants, after deducting what the six persons now at work there will receive for their services during the blennlum. This Is enough to employ an additional stenogra pher and still have a few hundred dollars left. Cornorntlona Becoming; Alarmed. Secretary of State Junkln and his as sistants have tholr hands full Just at present answering telegrams and letters of Inquiry In regard to S. F. No. 168 and filing reports In conformity with that act. This Is King's bill ' requiring all foreign corporations doing business In the state ; to nie witn the secretary or state and with 1 the register of deeds In the county where they have their principal offices In Ne 1 braska, a statement aa to their principal I place of business, the location of their branch office In this state and the name of the person In charge. They are also required to appoint the state auditor their agent, upon whom service may be had In all suits and other matters. The bill carried the emergency clause and gave the corporations twenty days In which to comply with Its provisions, the time being up today. Failure to comply with the law subjects a corporation to a fine of $1,000 and only a small percentage of j them have thus far compiled. It Is stated ! that the time allowed Is altogether too 1 short and that many of the companies I do not yet know of the passage of the j act. Others have Just been Informed and , are rushing In the papers as quickly as ! possible. Secretary of Btate Junkln states that though he regards the main provisions of the law as meritorious, it will be a money loser for his office. The fees re quired are only SO cents, which Is not enough to pay for sending out the blanks. j keeping the records and doing the other I things required. The county officer who : records the reports required, la allowed j nothing for the work. j Want Lapsed Appropriations. j It la probable that a mandamus ault will I soon be begun In the supreme court to de termine whether appropriations made by the 1906 legislature lapsed March 31 of the current year, aa Is contended by the at torney general. Food Commissioner Red fern, who had about $1,800 left over from the last blennlum, will In all likelihood bring the ault. It waa his Intention to use the money to equip his office with labora tory paraphernalia such as will be re quired under the more amplified food, drug and dairy law, but by reason of the at torney general's opinion, the auditor has refused to draw warrants against the old appropriation. The state constitution aaya that the legislature shall make appropria tions to run until the and of the firat fiscal quarter after the next legislative session. Thus appropriations made by the 1906 legislature would be available until July 1 of thla year. The appropriations made by the 1906 legislature, however, were made with the provision that they should oeaee March $1, 1907. It is deemed questionable whether the legislature had the power to make any such limitation In the face of the provision of the constitu tion, and thla is what the court will be aaked to pass upon. The board of public lands and buildings Is also interested In the Blood Poison in a wound or a scratch is pre vented by two things cleanliness and application of an antiseptic.

The funeral of his mother will occur tomor row afternoon at 1 o'clock at Nehawka and nicst of the state officials and their deputies will be there. There will be clerks In the offices in the morning, but all will be closed during the afternoon. Aaaeaaor After Antomolillea. County Assessor Miller of Incaster county has gir.e gunning after the owners of automobiles in Lincoln and vicinity, many of whom In late years have escaped paying taxes on their whla carts. Mr. Miller has hied himself to the office of Secretary of State Junkln and secured from the records of the latter the namea of all persons having received state licenses to own and operate automobiles. As a result of his activity the assessor has unearthed the fact that upwards of 150 automobiles are owned In Lancaster county. A year ago taxes were paid on less than fifty ma chines, some of which were listed as bicy cles or tricycles and thus escaped taxes on an honest basis. The Btate Association of County Assess ors is reputed to be behind the movemept to force the owners of autos to pay taxes on their property, and art effort will be made to locate every cough cart In the state and compel its owner to fall Into line before the tax window at the office of the county treasurer the same aa other property owners. ' Lincoln Trne Rxcnrslon. Lincoln Jobbers will run a trade excur sion out on the I'nlon Pacific hext month. This waa decided unon at a meeting held J at the Commercial club thl afternoon. It Is proposed to start from Lincoln about Mv 27 and go as far as North, Platte. The branch lines lending out of Kearney, Orand Island and Columbus will also be explored Beet Wnrlters for Colorado. The vanguard of Lincoln's Oermsn-Rus-slan beet field workers, consisting of nearly led families, departed this morning for Colorado to be employed In the fields near Grand Junction, Ft. Morgan and Ft. Col lins during the summer. Later other de tachments are to go to Michigan and Mon tana.. The city authorities estimate that this annual pilgrimage takes nearly 2,000 Lincoln people to the beet fields In other states. In many cases entire families make i the trip, with as many as a dozen in each i family. The pilgrims return to Lincoln late in the fall, bringing with them their j earnings for Investment In local real es tate. It is estimated that the capital city profits nearly $100,000 annunlly by this em- i ployment of a portion ot Its citizenship. Many of the more prosperous members of the colony are nuite wealthy, several of them owning a half dozen and more resi dences In the Russian settlement from which they collect a neat sum each month In rents. Father Kidnaps Child. , Mrs. Charles E. Means of College View, the seat of the. college of the Seventh Day Adventlsts and a suburb of Uncoln. re ported at the office of Sheriff Rees today that her year-bld daughter had been kid naped by her husband, from whom she Is seeking to . get a, divorce. Tho marital woee of the Mans family have been aired In the courts of Lancaster county many times during the past few- years. Several I months ago Mrs. Means applied for a divorce, but while the proceedings were pending before Judge Frost, the defendant gave evidence of a mental breakdown and he was adjudged Insane. This step checked 1 the divorce proceedings, as the Nebraska I law forbids the Issue of a divorce while one I of the parties is Insane. Recently Means was discharged from the nsylum as cured and his wife had been preparing to renew her suit. Both of the children were In her custody. According to her story. Means sneaked Into the home last evening and snutched the child while It lay asleep In bed. She soon discovered the absence of the child and later was apprised that Mr. Means was seen carrying the child down the Toad. This Is the laat trace as to his flight. Means formerly was a lumber mer chant In College View.

The state, In the caae against John Hamlin for the "murder of Rachel Bngle, rested Its case, and the defense began the Introduction of Us testimony along the line of Insanity, Following the witnesses Introduced to show the direct commission of the shoot ing, the state Introduced Coroner Suther land and Drs. McGrath, Farns worth and Hoge. The latter was the first physician called In the case and had charge of (he wounded girl throughout, though the other pyslclans were called In at Intervals and aided in 'the operations. The physicians were quite united In that death resulted primarily from the bullet wound. Dr. Farnsworth differing to the extent of tes tifying that the results of the breaking of a catheter might have aided In the physical decline. Dr. Hoge testified that the wound was a mortal one and that the sores over the body and the gangrenous condition would have resulted, regardless of the breaking of the catheter. Through Witnesses Goss and Darr, for mer fellow employes of Hamlin, the state Introduced testimony to show that Hamlin had previous to the shooting declared that he was in love with Rachel Engle and would furnish her money at any time tc leave her home. To Witness Goss Hamlin stated, as testified to, that If Charles Smith (who was at Miss Engle's side when the shooting took place), ever crossed his path he would send a bullet after him. To Darr Hamlin complained, according to the testimony, that Mrs. Kent, Rachel's mother, would not permit him to talk to Rachel or Rachel to him and he some times felt like shooting her. Witness was not permitted to state to the Jurors his Impression as to whom Hamlin had meant by "her." Defense Inirndncea Evidence. The state, through Witnesses Wood. McFarlane and Peterson, showed the ar rest of Hamlin, Ms giving an assumed name,- denying that he was from Grand Island, the searching of his pockets, the finding of the revolver in evidence and Its delivery to the sheriff. Witness Peterson la the marshal of Danneborg, and his rela tion of how he had arrested Hamlin and guarded him after arrest, and his droll gestures and manner, lent an air of com edy to the proceedings to auch an extent that the court had repeatedly to call for order. "Did the defendant attempt to resist?" asked Hamlln'a counsel, when Peterson re- I lated that, in arresting and handcuffing Hamlin, he held his revolver eighteen Inches from the head of the prisoner. "Oh, no," responded the marshal In a Danish accent, "if he would ha wouldn't be here today." ' The state here rested, and the defense began Its testimony with Mrs. Davis, slater of Hamlin, on the atand. She related that in his Infancy he had "fits." In 18fl7 her brother rented a farm near her In Iowa and one day the team came home without him. He waa found unconscious. This was in June. He did not recover, wltneas stated, until October. Again in 1598 John Hamlin had been at her home and when attempting to do any work requiring stooping would have severe head- ach?s and dlzsy spells. He also acted queerly at times, having resolved one thing, then doing Just the opposite, John Hock of Alda. a farmer from whom Hamlin worked In 1904, testified that the first morning of Hamlin's employment by Mm he was told to do the chores and was warned as to two bronchos. But It waa J not long before Hamlln'a cries attracted i him to the barn. He was under the ; horses. He could not work for eight daye. Hamlin had sometimes acted strangely, among other things talking to himself. The testimony was, In ths main, corrobor ated by another farm hand. Snrnrlae In Tnmn are Caae, BEATRICE, Neb.. April 2S.

PERU, Neb., April 26. (Special.) A heavy, wet snow commenced falling In the night and has reached a depth of three Inches and Is still falling, with the thermometer registering two degrees below freezing.

OLD ISDIAS GllWF. s- OPESKI) Legend of ttnrleit Treasure of Tribe Revived In Hall C'onnty. ORAND ISL.AND, Web., April 25. (Spe cial.) Near the village of Cairo anij about twenty miles nothwest of this city there. Is a spot which has been a place of in teract to those familiar with the locality for many years. Yet no one ever thought of making the further investigation made In the last few days by a young man from Illinois named Walter Bchalrcr. who was visiting with his uncle, Charles Hodgson, a resident of this vicinity. The result of Mr. Schalrer's Investigation was the ex humation of the bones of an old Indian chief, and tho revival In the memory of the first settiera of the region of a strango legend. The district Is what Is known locally aa "The Hills." A particular elevation Is named "Kyne's Bluff." It la on this one, sloping to the east, that the peculiar formation has frequently attracted atten tion. Around a level spot on the bluff there la a ring, such aa might t. formed by horses traveling around an old-fuah- loned horse power apparatus, and worn deeply. The ring Is covered with" grass, as is the rest of the bluff, and therefore not so noticeable until one Is upon the spot. The ring Is from one to two feet in depth. Upon visiting the place Mr. Schalrer decided to dig into the place. At a depth of about five feet he came to what at first appeared to be a mass of de cayed wood, but Immediately beneath there waa found a lot of human bones. The body had evidently been burled in a care fully constructed basket and covering made of willows or other small limbs and shrubs. . The bones taken out Indicated that the man had been a large person. The Jaw bones, with a splendid set of. teeth, were intact, and the arm and thigh bones were very large. Many of the bones were In a state of decay, but those which held tholr natural shape Indicated the height and ! bulI(1 the ieron- The head and beak head ornament had been burled with him. 1 Special lor SatadayEventao Between 6 and 9:30 $2.00 Wilton Rugs, 27x54 $3.50 Wilton Rugs, 27x54 $5.50 Wilton Rugs, 27x54.. s Miller, Stewart & Beaton 413-15-17 South Sixteenth Street ; , I ColleCIothes '' m , 3 While they cost less 'r't' 4 - 1 than others, are un- .

Another object of much Interest to those versed In Indian lore was a piece of polished horn with a hoio for stringing It on. a belt, and on which there ware cut twenty-two notches. This is taken to Indicate that twenty-two persons fell victim to ths warrior. No articles of Intrinsic value were found n the grave.
