LdNCOLK, Auk. 2. (Special-) A rumor
I 1-a reached Lincoln that, owing to the dll-
Itory tactics of the State Railway cnmmls
lon, agents of the various express com-
panic doing business In the state are to to
be arrested and prosecuted upon complaints
filed by a county attorney, for alleged vio
lation of tha BIMey act pnssed by the I ant
legislature, providing for a a ner cant re
action In express rates. ' The law Is sup
posed to -liar a gon Into effect July 6, but
so far It has not been compiled with by
the express eompanles, who claim they have
, tBJrtf day to file schedules anyway, and
: that this dafart Its operation.
, Thers Is no reason why a county at
I torney cannot begin prosecution of tha ex-
press companies under the Sibley act," said
i Attorney General , Thompson, "but I have
. receive1 no Intimation that this Is contem
plated, and' such 'proceedings will not be
started with the sanction of this office. We
Kb all keep faith -with the federal court and
. Will Hot attempt to Impose the penalty
clause of tha law-tntll Its constitutionality
I settled. .We have adopted this course
bscaua we believe it the best course. If
i the law la hold tob valid then officials or
employe ttt expreaa companies can be pros
ecuted and pa'ttuthed. We have eighteen
months' time to prosecute from the time
toe. act la .oommt4ed. so If the law Is valid
! tha guilty parties can be prosecuted after
the law Is held valid just as well as now.
Should we arrest some employe who Is
acting under orders and then the law Is
held Invalid, we Just cause a lot of trouble
' and do no Rood. The question of the con
, StltuUonaltty of 'the law has to be tested
some time, and It may just as well be done
now as later."
On the day the law went Into effect the
attorney general filed a petition In the state
1 supreme court asking for a restraining or
i der to prevent the express companies from
' disobeying its provisions. The supreme
, court took no action on the petition and
; within a few days the express companies
! transferred the case to the Lincoln branch
. of the federal court and at the sama time
filed a petition In the Omat;a federal court
for an Injunction against the state author
ities from . enforcing the law. Upon the"
statement of the commission and the at
torney, general that they did not Intend to
enforce the law at thlse time, but to test
' Its constitutionality, Judge W. H. Munger
; denied the application of the express com
i panles for the Injunction. Since then the
j commission has practically decided to allow
.tha express companies to reduce rates 15
er cent. Under the law the commission can
do this, but If It does the Sibley act becomes
null and void, and If the express companies
accept this reduction, as they said they
would, there can be no' prosecutions. In
. the meantime no suit has been brought to
I test the legality, of the act making tire pen
r alty for committing burglary with explo
sives not less than twenty years or for life
Imprisonment. This law was enacted at
j the same time the Slblry law was passed.
.r, . . , Aatwer la Cream Case.
The big creamery1 companies of the' state
today filed their answer to the petition of
the Western Freight association asking the
fltats Railway commission ,to lncreasetho
rates on cream. The creamery 'mrfn aver
that the Western Traffic association Is not
Y common tarrier,-' a railroad or an- asso
ciation entitled to 'maintain an action In
this state and, therefore, Its petition should
be denied. The' answer 'alleges also, that
cream rates are excessive now, and, con
sidering the services rendered, the rates
Should be - reduced. The creamery .com
panies contend that they have Invested
more than $1,000,000 In their business and
to Increase the rates, they say, would be
to ruin them financially by destroying their
business. They claim for the commission
to accede to tha demands of the traffic
association would ruin the dairy Interests
In tha state. The following signed the
answer: taFrmers Co-operative Creamery
and Supply company, Fairmont Creamery
company, Omaha Cold Storage company,
9Davld Cola, Klrechbaum Son, Beatrice
Creamery eompany, Ravenna Creamery
Company, Golden Rod, and Fountanelle.

Stanton county, Is of Intereat to every
county In the stats. It Is as follows:
In a recent Inquiry you submitted to
this department a request for an opinion
on the liability of the state for the pay
ment of expenses of keeping a convict
the county jail of Stanton county, where
his sentence to a term In the penitentiary
ns suspended durlnr a review In thj
supreme court and afterward sfllrmed.
The rate established by law for ooard

Tlrd. The lialiUltv of the state for pay
ment of the jail guard ha already been
tnssel upon by this office In a claim liv
the sheriff of Sioux County for such com
pensation. Attorney General Brown rules
as follows:
"irnder our laws the county jail Is. the
property of the county and the officers
and employes who protect It and guard It
are officers AP lh, r . . I n , . m . v. .
statute does not require the state to p.ir
onicers of the county or county em
ployes for guarding the Jail, I am of th
opinion that no such liability exists, and
that therefore the claim o fthe sneriff

Jail Is not a legal or valid claim against
the state. (Opinions of attorney gen

The Pullman Car company In Its annual

kans In the list of pass holders not desig
nated as employes. Mr. Gould was a mem

ago. The Nebraskans who own stock in
the company are the following of Omaha
Ward M. Burgesa, three shares; Mary F.

no separate record is kept of the Ne

Fair Board Held Down.
The State Board of Agriculture, which
Is about to slim a contract for the erec
tion of a $25,000 stock barn, when the legis
lature appropriated only $20,000 forthls pur
pose, haa found Itself up against a stump.
The fair board thought to pay the differ
ence out of Its own funds, but the appropri
ation reads "for a building, the contract
price of which shall not be more than $20,
000." Members of the board are beginning
to doubt that they have the right to uso
the $20,000 except to erect the entire build
ing and therefore new plans and specifi
cations may havo to be drawn.
Flaares from School Census.
The agitation started by Superintendent
McBrlen for an honest school census upon
which - to base the apportionment of the
temporary school fund has resulted In
several cities watching, each other, with
the result that the number of school, chil
dren in these towns are very much re
duced. A comparison for a counle-of vear
of the census Is interesting. Here Is a
table showing the reductions in the towns
about which there has been considerable
talk of census padding:

When the blood becomes infected with unhealthy humors the effect is
shown on the skin in the form of pimples, rashes, eruptions, or some other
type of skin disease. ' These humors circulating, in the blood, come in con
tact with the delicate tissues and fibres of the skin and produce irritation
and inflammation, and often excessive itching and burning. Tryin? to cure
skin troubles with external applications is treating the effect instead of the
cause. Such treatment perhaps allays sotn of the itching and discomfort,
but does not reach the blood where the real source of troubles lies. A thor
ough cleansing of the blood is the only cure for humors in the blood.
S. S. S., a gentle acting, safe blood purifier, is the proper treatment. It goes
down into the circulation and neutralizes tbe humors and removes them from
the blood. S. S. S. supplies the' blood with the fresh, healthy properties
necessary to sustain the skin and keep it free (rem disease. S. S. S. cures
Eczema, Tetter, Acne, Salt Rheum, pimples, boila, rashes, and all other
skin affections and diseases, because it purifies the blood and removes the
humors which are responsible for the trouble. Book on Skin Diseases

ALL IS QUIET IN ""BELFAST
Government Dismisses Strike Leaders
. and Promises to Consider Grlev.
nnres Properly Presented.
BELFAST, Aug. 2. Having secured tho
presence In Belfast af a . strong military
force capable of dealing with any possible
development In the police strike, the gov
ernment has dismissed the leaders of the
strike movement and promised through the
lord lieutenant, the earl of Aberdeen, to
take under consideration any genuine griev
ances presented through ths proper chan
nels. This prompt action on th part of
the authorities, it Is believed by many, will
avert what at one time appeared to bs a
dangerous situation. Additional troops
reached the city tonight, but everything
remains quiet.
It is quit impossible to predict what will
happen at th parade of the disaffected po
lice tomorrow, but the belief 1 general
that there is much difference of opinion be
tween the constabulary over the advisa
bility of proceeding to extreme measures.
The authorities, however, will neglect no
precautions In disposing ths military forces
tomorrow to meet any possible emergency.
A peremptory message was dispatched to
Arklow today ordering that all avallablo
members of the constabulary In County
Wlcklow should be sent Immediately to
Belfast. The message caused a sensation
among the Arklow constables, who de
clared their determination to stay by their
Belfast comrades.
