(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, May 24.-(Spoclal.)-The State
Hallway commission has been asked by the
interstate Commerce commission for an
opinion on tie best way to fairly appor
tion the earnings and operating expenses
of railroads handling Interstate traffic be
tween the various states. In the past
arbitrary apportionments have been mado,
which according to the railroads and to the
Interstate commission has not always been
fair and Just to the railroads or to the
States and at this time an effort Is being
ado to map out a plan whereby justice
may be donn all the states as well as the
roads. . At a recent meeting of railroad
representatives, members of the Interstate
commission and several railroad commis
sioners of states. It was decided to ask the
commission In each state to express Its
Vlows on the matter. In making up a plan
the states are cautioned to consider "con
structive mileage," which the letter ex
plained Is where one state is allowed more
mileage than It actually has because of
the Increased cost of operation or other
reasons. While the state commission has
not yet had an opportunity to consider
the matter. It Is sure to protest against any
mileage being taken from Nebraska and
credited to another state because of any
increased cost of operation in another state.
The commission figures that as It costs less
to operate a road In Nebraska, owing to
the absence of grades and hills, more ton
nage can be hauled In this state, so con
structive mileage will cut little figure In
the suggestion It makes to the national
commission.
Connilulos and Itoads Draw.
The recent order of the State Railway
commission for local agents of railroads
to report direct to the commission the num
ber of cars on hand and the amount of
freight shipped in and out, against which
the railroads protested so vigorously, has
resulted In a kind of dog fall. Today the
commission Is getting ready to Issue another
order for the local' agents to report to the
general headquarters of the roads and the
general auditor and general superintendent
are to sign and forward the original re
ports to the commission. This Is to be a
dally report, while' the division superln
tendents are to report weekly.
U. O. Powell, rata clerk, has been look
ing' Into express rates charged In other
States and he has reported to the commis
sion that In Missouri and Texas the rates
are O to S3 per cent lower than In Ne
braska. In the two states named there Is
also a Joint rate In effect which allows the
Shipment of express over the routes of
two companies st the rate of one. In this
state there Is no Joint rate In force, but
separate rates have to be paid when the
UWment covers two lines or more.

Oambllnsr Law Is Valid.
John H. Stratton of Cherry county, sen

the criminal code as they now stand are
Invalid for the reason they were not passed
In accordance with the constitutional re
quirements. The court holds an enrolled
bill, If In all respects In proper form. Is
prima facie evidence of Its rroper passage,
but If the executive Journals unequivocally
contradict the evidence furnished by the
ctirolled bill the evidence furnished by the

this mill not be taken as evidence that the
constitutional requirements were not ob
served. Judgment of the district court Is
affirmed.
I'nlverslty Warrants Issue.
. The supreme court has ordered a writ of
mandamus to require State Auditor Searle
to Issue warrants on the state treasury on
the funds derived from the 1 mill tax levy
for the benefit of the State university. The
auditor refused to Issue the warrants, al
leging that the appropriation bill appropri
ates tho proceeds derived from the levy and
that there were no funds on hand In the
treasury for this fund as a result of col
lections. The court says that when tho
auditor of public accounts has audited and
allowed a claim payable out of the 1 mill
levy fund, and there Is an unexpended bal
ance therein of a sufficient amount It is his
duty to draw warrants therefor In favor
of the claimant, although there may be no
money actually In the treasury belonging
to said fund.

DR. TALKS OF FOOD
Pres. of Board of Health
"What shall I eatT" is the dally inquiry
the physician is met with. I do not hesi
tate to say that In my Judgement, a lunge
percentage of disease Is caused by poorly
selected and Improperly prepared food.
My personal experience with the fully
cooked food, known as Grape-Nuts, en
ables me to speak freely of Its merits.
"From overwork, I suffered several
years with malnutrlton, palpitation of tha
heart, and loss of sleep. Last summer I
was led to experiment personally with
the new food, whlcbI used in conjunction
with good rich cow's milk. Iu a short
time after I commenced Its use, the dlHa
greeable symptoms disappeared, my
heart's action became steady and normal,
the functions' of the stomach were prop
erly carried out and I again slept as
soundly and as well as In my youth.
"I look upon Gripe-Nuts as a perfect
food, and no one can gainsay but that It
has a most prominent place In a rational,
scientific system of feeding. Any one who
uses this food will soon bs convinced of
the soundness of the principle upon which
it Is manufactured and may thereby know
the facts as to Its true worth." Read,

ENFOHCING HERD LAW IN KIMBALL
Settlers Do Not Propose to Have Crops
Destroyed.
KIMBALL, Neb., May 24. (Special.)
Homesteaders In this county are preparing
to enforce the herd law against range
cattle. The country has filled up with
settlers until nearly every piece of gov
ernment land is taken up, the larger por
tion of it by actual settlers. They are
breaking prairie and putting in crops and
they don't propose to have them destroyed
by cattle. No fences have been removod
In this section In acordance with the order
which went Into effect April 1. In fact, no
attention was paid to this order here. So
far there has been no trouble between
ranchers and farmers and no serious trouble
Is expected, only that the farmers propose
to see that cattle do not destroy, their
crops. The homesteaders are organizing
quietly to enforce tho herd law rigidly.
Case A srn Inst Williams Nnlled.
AUBCRN, Neb., May 24. (Special.)
Charles Williams will not be tried on
the charge of murdering his father, Isaac
Williams. The case pending in the dis
trict court agnlnst the -young man has
been nolle prossed, this action having been
taken by the court officials the first of
the week. Isaac Williams was killed Sep
tember 11 last. Clarence Williams ' was
tried last winter. Ho testified that he
fired the fatal shot. lie was cleared. The
young men killed their father during a
quarrel, one firing a revolver, the other a
shotgun. The shots from the gun were
pronounced to be the ones that produced
the death of Isaac Williams, and the gun
was In the hands of Clarence Williams, the
elder brother. The case against (Jlarence,
which resulted In his acquittal, was a very
costly one to the county. It was doubtful
If Charles could have been convicted under
the circumstances and the dismisnul of the
case against him may save the county a
big expense.
