(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

funeral of his mother will occur tomor

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.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., April .-Spe-c!al.)
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.

"No end of aleeplesa nights would have

FAIRMONT, Neb., April J5. (Special.)
Snow to the depth of four Inches fell here
last night. Fruit treea were In full bloom
and are now laden with wet snow. It
la fine for wheat.
HARVARD, Neb., April 25.-(Special.)-Followlng
a severe wind and dlrtstorm
yesterday, it became colder towards night
and about 11 o'clock snow began falling
so that this morning, by measurement
fairly taken, six and -one-half Inches was
found to have fallen. The mercury dropped
to 28 degrees. The snow Is heavy and as It
hangs on trees, covers fruit blossoms.
- LOUP CITY, Nob., April 25. (Special.)
Two or three Inches of snow fell here
last night.
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. A freeze now will put an end
to the peach and cherry crop as the last
few days of warm weather brought forth
the last blossoms on the trees. All amall
grain needs rain and warm weather.
BLUE HILL, Neb.. April 26. (Special.)
Blue Hill and vicinity was visited by a
Bnow covering the ground one-half foot,
but 1t is melting rapidly. It will put the
ground In fine condition as It waa very dry.
GIBBON, Nob.. April 25. (Speelal.)-SiK
inches of snow fell here during last night.
It Is warm and pleasant this morning and
the general opinion Is that this snow Is
worth much to Nebraska. The trees are
hanging full of snow and the pink apple
blossoms show up fine among the snow.
Yesterday was dry and windy and a hard
day on small grain.
GENEVA, Neb.. April 26. (Special.)
Three Inches of snow covered the ground
this morning, the thermometer registering
29 degrees.
AUBURN, Neb., April 2S.-(Speclal.)
About two and one-half Inches of snow
fell thla morning, but owlnir to the tem
perature all trace of It gone within

' two hours and It is the

this time, and in fact, waa .i benefit to ths
growing crops.
SHELTON, Neb., April 25. (Special.)
During the night six Inches of snow fell
snd trees and bushes were almost bending
to the ground with the moisture. Tester- .
day the wind changed to the north and
rapidly became colder and the dust blew
in gusts until after Nightfall, when It
calmed down and the temperature was al
most at the freezing point. But the snow
which had fallen at other points during
the laat week had not amounted to any
benefit to thla part of Nebraska. The
moisture of this morning will be of much
benefit to the large acreage of fall wheat
of thla part of the state and to the pas
tures, as the ground was very dry on fop.
CAIRO, Neb., April 26.-(Special.)-The
extreme cold weather of the first half of
April was followed here by three days of
ideal summer, but yesterday about noon
the thermometer commenced falling. This
morning the ground la covered with about
five Inches of very wet snow, which will
relieve to some extent the drouth that has
prevailed so far this spring. It Is not
thought that the snow will Injure anything,
as the freezing weather of laat week killed
everything that waa In condition to be hurt.
CAMBRIDGE, Neb., April 26. (Special.)
The heaviest snowstorm of tha aeason
reached this section of the state during
last night, when seven inches of rain and
snow fell. The snow, being very wet, did
not drift.

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.

A wooden dish, fairly well preserved. In
dlcated that the Indian custom of provid
ing food for the Journey to tha spirit land
had been observed. A bullet Indicated what
might have been the cause of death of
tho occupant of the lonely grave. 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.
All ot this has brought back recollec
tions of the paM with those who hnve long
lived In this vicinity. It waa often told
them by the Indians that a valuable treas
ure was buried somewhere In this local
ity, the exact plaoe being known only to
the chief of the trlbo and that this chief
was killed without revealing the spot. For
many years the Indians, It Is known, came
back and searched and dug around the
bluffs and In tho evening would gathor
at this spot and hold their pow-wow,
singing their songs and dirges, with the
hope that tho spfrlt of the warrior would
guide them to the spot where the treasure
lay covered. As the years went on the
visits of the Indians became less regular
and finally ceased altogether, none having
come In the last twenty years. But the
lonely mound and tha dance circle re
mained Just the same until finally the
contents of the mound have been re
vealed. Tha grave Is located on the east side of
the bluff within thirty feet of the brink
of an almost Insurmountable precipice and
at a point from which a picturesque view
of the country to the north, south snd east
can be enjoyed.
The bones were brought to the village
of Cairo and left In the office of Dr. Pier
sol, where they now are, an object of great
Interest to many.

Leon Harrison closed the lecture course at
the normal last night with "A Plea for

overflowing to hear Rabbi Harrison defend
Shylock. The plea was very eloquently de
livered and undoubtedly the views of many
persons were changed, especially in thslr
feeling toward the Jewish people.
