Peculiar Case of Mr. Nichols The pecu

and dewy evenings, and he waa trying
artificial light on our Nebraska worms,

A True Fish Story Wednesday morning
Arthur Bower caught an 18-pound catfish
Bear the upper mill. Nothing uncommon
bout that, really, but the way It waa
taught Is interesting. Mr. Bower had set
a line the night before and along came
small aatl.sh weighing about a pound
and a half and took the hook. Later the
big catfish came meandering along looking
for a lunch, and, seeing the little cat on
the hook, swallowed It. But, as the big
fellow was about to continue on his
fourney, he noticed that there was a
"string" attached to his lunch, and. In his
attempt to pull himself loose from the
lunch or string, the tough, sharp-pointed
bone In one of the little fish's fins was
forced through the stomach of the big
eat, protruding through the flesh about
an Inch, acting precisely as a fish hook
Would, holding him fast. When Mr. Bower
came along and tried to pull up the line
the big catfish fougM viciously, but was
soon landed, a portion of the little fish
being plainly seen In his mouth. Steele

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Neb.. June t-(Speclal ) The
Union Pacific railroad has filed an answer
with the Str.te Railway commission deny
ing the allegations made in the complaint
of Bradstreet A Clemens of Grand Island,
who charged that the railroad would not
give them shipping facilities at the rail
road stock yards, but compelled them to
load and unload at a long distance at the
yards of the Union Stock yards outside
the city limits. In reply the company as
serts that It had not adequate facilities at
the company yards In town snd that these
yards have been practically abandoned ex
cept for the shipment of hogs. The com
pany alleges that it furnishes the same
facilities to the complainants as furnished
to all other shippers and that to grant their
request would be discrimination against the
general public In support of the allega
tions of the company It Is asserted that
the city ordinance makes It difficult to
maintain stock yards In the city limits
without laying the company liable to the
charge of maintaining a nuisance.
Cadets Coert-Martlaled.
The university cadets at Beatrice In an
nual camp did not have entirely smooth
sailing. Tale Holland of Seward, first ser
geant of Company A, and Walter Webster
of Lincoln, first lieutenant of Company D,
were charged with misconduct and their
caaes reported to the chancellor for action.
Albert A. Drawbough of Bell wood and
Stanley Huffman, both of Company A, fired
blank cartridges after tape and were given
demerits.
School for Guard Officers.
Adjutant General Culver has decided to
hold a school of instruction for the officers
of the Nebraska National guard In Lin
coln the last week In June. The Instructor
has not been selected. The delsy was
caused by the movement of the United
States troops, from which Instructors are
detailed.
Railroad Rearalatlna.
In furtherance of the plan engineered
from Washington to deprive the states of
the powers they now eaerclse In regulat
ing railroads and other common carriers,
for the purpose of centralising such au
thority in the federal government, the
annual meeting which was to have been
held by the National Association of Rail
way Commissioners at. Seattle on July 29
has been called off and Instead It Is an
nounced that the gathering will occur at
Washington on the second Tuesday In
October. The excuse for changing the place
and date Is to give those attending the
convention a chance to visit the James
town exposition, but the real significance
Is evidently to bring Its deliberations under
the Influence of the federal administration
and to assure the dominance of eastern
rather than western sentiment In the meet
ing. Chairman H. J. Wlnnett of the Nebraska
Railway commission is in receipt of a letter
from Isaac B. Brown, chairman of the
executive committee of the association,
stating that the Seattle conference has
been abandoned and announcing the Wash
ington meeting In Its place. It was expected
by the Nebraska commissioners that one
or two of them, at least, would go to
Seattle, and the probability is that this
state will be represented at the national
capital.
Members of the Nebraska Railway com
mission are noncommittal on the respec
tive merits of federal and state regulation,
so far as giving any public expression Is
concerned. They are Infants at the busi
ness, figuratively speaking, and do not
evince a disposition to become Involved In
a controversy over the question.
It is set down as the general sentiment
prevailing throughout Nebraska that, hav- '
ing established the railway commission
and provided $30,000 for salaries tn that 1
department for the ensuing blennlum, with j
an allowance of 390,000 more for general
expenses, the people of the state would
prefer to look for resultgTn this Invest
ment, rather than depend on the Interstate
Commerce commission, which has the whole
country to look after and generally advisee
with railroad managers before acting on
complaints laid before it.
Actlag Goveraor Hopewell.
Lieutenant Governor M. R. Hopewell ar
rived todav at the canitnl and will remain
until June IS. when Governor Sheldon will
return from the Pacific coast. Actlnar Gnv.
; ernor Hopewell today signed several vouch,
jers and one commission for a commissioner
of deeds In the state of New York. He will
not commit himself In the matter of ap
pointments, but merely states when asked
that If people have friends whom they
desire to get place they may file appllca

T. B. Allen of this city, chairman of the
democratic state committee, today received
a letter from General Attorney B. P. Wag

Issued without the knowledge of Mr. Al
len and was sent to him complimentary
because of his partnership with A. R. Tal
bot. Lincoln attorney for the road, and
