LINCOLN. Aug. I. (Special.) The State
Railway commission la completely In the
lr today over the Bibley act, which, ac
cording to the ex pre com pan leu, goes Into
effect today, and. like a ghost, the affidavit
wlch each of them filed In the federal
court baa rleen up to haunt them. Thla
affidavit seta out that the commlwlnn and
tha attorney general do not Intend to en
force to penalty clause of the romnMnn
law until the constitutionality of the Sibley
35 per cent reduction act la determined hy
tha courta. Commissioner Wllllama la will
ing; 4o repudiate the affidavit, while Com
tntesloners Clarke and Wtnnettt are In
favor of keeping faith with the federal
court and trying the case on the plan
mapped out, even thought It require con
siderable time? The matter came to a nhow
down thla morning when Commissioner
Wllllama Introduced a resolution to make
the ratea In the Bibley act the rates of the
commission. Commissioners Wlnnett and
Clarke are not In favor of this. The resolu
tion haa neither been voted up nor voted
down, but la still being considered. Wln
nett and Clarke believe It Is better to test
the constitutionality of the law before
bringing criminal proceedings. In thla they
are aupported by the attorney general. They
aay the legality of the act has to be tested
either In a civil or a criminal suit. In a
civil suit they hold more evidence can he
put In the record than In n. criminal pro
ceeding, for In that depositions cannot be
uaed, but that witnesses must be brought
Intd court and no outside matter 'injected.
They believe with the showing made by the
express companies that the state would
lose If a criminal suit were brought. By
ticking to the civil proceedings the 'suit
probably oan be kept In the state court and
tha matter threshed out there.
Unless the commission adopts the Sibley
a It own only the company can be
prosecuted and the penalty Is a fine of not
! than $10 nor more than 11.000 for each
offense. Should the commission adopt the
Bibley ratea the penalty can be Imposed on
tha agenta of the company and the Hne Is
from $1,000 to $5,600 for the company and
for the agent a fine of from flOO to CCV
nd a Jail aentence of from ten days to alx
months.
Commissioner Williams says the affidavit
filed does not bind the commission. Inasmuch
aa the express agenta have not kept faith
with the commission. He would not discuss
the motion he made today, but the other
commissioners said the matter was merely
a question of procedure and both believe
If the people have patience they will find
In the long run It will be belter to test the
Iaw before beginning criminal proceedings,
a the decision ir in favor of the law will
be retroactive.

Grand Island Jailer Brings Him Oat
of Ills Trance.
GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Aug. -(Special.)
Jailer Henry Mehlert haa believed
for some time that W. J. Bloan. the self
confessed murderer of " Frank Hermann,
has recently been shamming Insanity. 8ome
weeks ago, shortly after relative visited
him and he waa arraigned on the charge
of murder In the first degree, he suddenly
went Into a sort of spasm, from which
he did not emerge for two daya. The phy
sicians at first thought he had taken soma
sort of opiate poison and pumped th stom
ach, from which they could get nothing
Indicating what waa the matter. His sud
den recovery waa another mystifying fea
ture. But little more waa thought of It
until yesterday when, as suddenly, Sloan
had another "attack." He appeared to
have, without any previous indications,
gone Into another Joint stupor and con
vulsion. The county physician ordered him
placed In a room bv himself and no treat-
J ment waa given. He was to be left there.
and watched from time to time, for a day.
Jailer Mehlert became so convinced that
his prisoner waa shamming that he re
solved upon a somewhat heroic method
of treatment. He remarked that he would
hang Bloan .now and save trouble. Sloan
did not respond until the Jailer actually
produced the rope and then Sloan suddenly
came out of his trance.

the hundreds of people along the line. This should convince the people living away from the line of the sincerity of the
proposition and that the road is under construction and will be completed and when completed will be the biggest paying
proposition in Nebraska. Notice our map and you will readily realize that the territory through which we pass is in great
need of this line and a proposition for which there is a need is one in which to make a sure and paying investment. Wo
don't need to tell you of the millions of bushels of grain and the thousands of head of live stock raised along this line to bo
transported to market. "We don't need to tell you of the tons of freight that will have to be shipped into this territory. "Wo
don't need to tell you of the thousands of homes to be lighted by electricity and the hundreds of thousands of people to be
served by this proposition. You know all this and know that it means large dividends to its investors. "What you want to
know is will the road be built. The fact as we state above in regard to the amount of work that has already been accomplished
and the donation of $80,000.00 of bonds by the people along the line to assist in this work and that the road is actually being
built now should convince you that it will be built. It is no test case. Over Thirty Thousand miles of these roads are in
operation today, and you know that the dividends are something great.

a well khown stockman and farmer, was
on of th contestants, and now Is 111 from
th effects of swallowing a nail placed tn

the contestants waa a wire nail placed
there in aa Innocent way and evidently
for th purpose of giving th eaters a sur
prise with no thought of a serious ending.

at the first bits. But In hla case tha nail
was swallowed with the pie and la now
lodged in hla stomach or the canal leading
to the stomach, and Is causing him some
suffering. Mr. Huwaldt waa naturally
very angry over the matter and gave
notice that h would mak some one a

On th way to Bellevue hospital where
the Injured wer taken, young Tarbell,
who owned and drove the car, regained
his senses and Inquired whether tha ma

glad of It. I'll never ride In an auto
mobile again."
The party waa bound for Long Island,

Tarbell. Their forty-horsepower machine
was coming down th incline of West
Thirty-fourth street at fair speed, whn

the surface car between the trucks and
wedged between the brake beam and pave
ment. Had tho rear trucks moved a few
Inches further they must have cut him In

ning board of the car and one side of the
wrecked machine. His broken leg had.
been pushed through the spokes of a wheel.
Woodeson was pinioned under the trolley's
forward trucks. It was necessary to rats
the passenger car before the Injured men
