The supremo court today handed down a decision over ruling the demurrer of the attorney general and ordorlng the writ of man damus to compel tho secretary of state to permit fusion on the primary ballots. The question was argued yesterday at a special meeting of the court. The fualon Ists now have until August 3 to get their petitions out and n...ms of candldutes filed. The suit was the out- om of tha re fusal of the secretary of urate to put the name of a populist on the democratic ticket as candidate for regent of the stnte unl-. Verslty, he acting on the advice of At torney General Thompson, who wanted the law tested. The suit was brought to compel Secre-1 tary of State Junkln to place the name of J. L. Sundean on both the populist und democratic tickets as a candidate for re gent of the state university. No opinion In the case has, yet been written. Some Statistics Valnelrss. "Figures of railroad shipments from Douglas county outside of Omaha and Bouth Omaha are most peculiar," said Ijibor Commissioner Ryder. "In fact, they ure worthless for publication purposes. I presume this Is because of reshtpments of commodities at Omaha. I it me Just give the figures as returned by the stations In Douglas county outside the two cities. They will be Interesting rather for what they do not show, than for what they do show. Here they are: Raspberries, 1 crate; peaches, 2 baskets; grapes, 26 baskets; fresh fruit, 70 pounds; blackberries, 3 crates; apples, 1 barrel; timothy seed, 600 bushels and millet seed the same quantity; wood, 304 cords; cattle, 3.800: hogs, 23,463; horses and mules, 70; sheep, 10,200. "Of hay, 490 tons were shipped; of wheat. lO.OtO bushels flat, and of oats, 34,437 bushels, while the corn shipments from country stations ran up to 718,000 bushels. Of but ter, there was shipped, 23.075 pounds and 3o,35 doien of eggs are accounted for. In the poultry line the shipments comprised, . E?S pounds dressed, and 60,075 pounds live. No frogs' legs, as Frank Handle captures . and uses about all of these. There were , 26.4R6 pounds of dressed meat shipped, of hides and pelts 355 pounds, of wool 37.500 pounds, and of furs StO pounds. Of cream JW gallons are noted, of milk 9T.6M gallons, and of honey io pounds. "One of the most valuable shipments that left the county was l.fltO tons of Ice, which must have been worth the price of a few automobiles. Waterloo shows up strong with 10 cars of onion sets, while Valley shipped out 150,210,000 pounds of sand and gravel. "Stuff raised, handled and old by mar ket gardeners and fruits raisers, or ths products of dairies and creamery men, are not accounted for at all by these figures. And the chicken and egg farmers of Omaha's suburbs are also unaccounted for." Express Companies Weaken. After a consultation with the representa tives of the various express companies this morning, the State Hallway commission look the matter of Issuing a reduced axptvas rate under advisement, but none of tha members was willing to say Just what would be done. While the express company representatives objected seriously to put ting In the 25 per cent reduction as pro vided for In the Sibley bill, no definite In formation could be secured from the com mission that it would nullify this law and allow the corporations to charge a higher rate. The Sibley law provides ths express companies may charge 75 per cent of the rates In effect January 1, until the railway commission granta them permission to put In a higher rate. 80 far the law has not been obeyed by the express companies and now a suit Is pending In the federal court at Lincoln, brought by the state, to re starin them from violating this law. The companies contend the law does not go Into effect until August 8, or one month after July 5. when all bills not carrying the emergency clause go Into effect. The ex press agents seem to be willing to stand for a 16 per cent reduction without fight ing the case In the courts, but whether the commission will rermlt them to set Hftlfln Ha law 'l(hni,t fira lyU.ln .V,- ne M I " ... .. ..1.....U. (lint (.11. -I ' cent reduction rates a trial remains to be seen. A very short time ago members of the commission were In favor of Issuing an emergency order and putting the agents of express companies In Jail and doing a few other things to them, but that was right after the president of one of the companies had telegraphed to Nebraska to his agents to disregard the law. The commissioners seem to have an Idea since the hearing that maybe the express company rates are not so high after all. . Street Car Hearing; Draars. The State Railway commission again had a session wMh the application of the city of Lincoln to compel the Traction company to sell six fares for 25 cents, this afternoon and President Scudder and General Man ager Ilumpe of the Traction company were on the stand most of the time. Incidentally, they both verified a rumor which was go In gthe rounds last winter regarding a pro posed consolidation of the Traction com pany and the Cltlxens company. Mr. Scud der said Mr. Shorpe and Mr. Boggs of the latter company made the proposition to him to forr.i a third company to take over both the old companies. The new company was to consist of ten men, of whom Scudder wns to be one, but the others were not mentioned. They offered the stockholders of the Traction company 300 In bonds of the new company for their stock, but Scud der said many of them hnd paid 1400 In all for. the stock and the price was too low. The scheme was to Issue 2,0n0,0C0 bonds and 13,000.000 stock, ell to be sild In Lincoln and Nebraska. Scudder refused to go Into the new company and nothing came of the conference. In the meantime anyone In Lincoln can get Fix fares for 25 cents on either car line. The Citizens company accepts the tickets of the Traction company and also sells Traction company tickets six for 25 cents. Hut the commission will continue the hear ing tomorrow. Pncklngr Companies Submit. The Armour. Cudahy and Swift packing companies today announced submission to the franchise tax imposed under the new state law and will not appeal to the su preme court.

To the Man Who Appropriates $1,000 Annually for Advertising A great many of Lord C& Thomas most successful clients began their advertising with appropriations of a thousand dollars and even lesa THE Lord & Thomas Agency has grown to be the largest advertis ing agency in America through the successful development of small advertisers. Today our volume of business $4,000,000.00 per year represents the appropriations of nearly 700 clients, so the average appropriation is less than $6,000.00 per year. Some of our clients who started with small appropriations are now placing over $100,000.00 yearly with us, and their businesses have grown and are continuing to grow in proportion. The great majority of our clients are now appropriating less than $3,000.00 per year. Our future growth depends upon the development of these $3,000.00-a-year advertisers into the $ 100,000.00-a-year class. We want an opportunity to show you bow YOU can start advertising with a small appropriation and get into the $100,000.00-a-year class. The small investor always is in greatest need of protection for his investment We realize that the $1,000 appropriation of the beginner means more to him than the $100,000.00 appropriation of the older advertiser. We govern ourselves accordingly. We want to tell you how we safe-guard your advertising appro priation by basing your investmaot on the only trustworthy guide in advertis ingthe Lord & Thomas Record of Results. Our exclusive Record of Results is the classified, indexed tabulation of actual results from hundreds of small and large advertising' campaigns.
