"The meeting was 'ntenscly Interesting." said Mr. , Thompson, "so much so that ths officers presant were hardly able to adjourn long enough for luncheon. It was a curious Tact that out of seventeen attorneys general In attendance five of them were under In junctions, seme. of them carrying th weight of as many as nineteen different order of, that kind, sued out In courts by corporations to restrain them from ctlnsj or enforilng laws. One of ' the number, the attorney general of Minne sota, expected to be arrested on hla re turn home for violating an Injunction. On the whole the officers reported great progress in the enforcement of laws non trolling corporations. . The state of Mass achusetts, according to Its attorney Ren aBj, has a law which gives a Board of Control almost absolute power over cor porations. No corporation in that state can issue stock without something tangi ble behind It and the board baa power to value stock. Wtsoonsln has had no dis putes between state and federal courts, because It has a state, law requiring cor porations that enter the state to do busi ness to sign a stipulation that they will not carry suits Into the federal courts.

The tficrM-Included a con siderable amount of special taxes and as ftessmenta and th property was bid in by Patterson for ISO. Ifall became the owner of ' the equity after the sale and Fred Selllck was his tenant. Pinal notice to con firm the sal was served on them December 13, 1904, and the entry In confirmation Is of record Msrch H 1W. On March 11 of the February term, the order confirming the sale was entered and on the twentieth day of the same month and term Hall 'filed a motion to set aside and vacate the confirmation. On March 3 the order of confirmation was vacated. On April 2, Hall then filed supplemental objections to the confirmation, stating that notice was not served on all th occupants of the land and that the city council of Omaha, In whom Interests the special taxes and assessments had been levied, had passed a resolution directing the tax com missioner or other official to attend all sale and bid In the property for the city where outside bids did not amount to a certain percentage of the city's interest. This fact was advertised In the Omaha papers and was well known to all In terested people. Ifall intended to bid In the property and pay much more than was paid by Patterson,' but the tsx com missioner had told him that the city would get much more than fie contemplated and he did not know of the sale until long after it had occurred. ' The sale was vacated for review by the court. Hall depositing 1900 as a guarantee that he would bid that amount. The 'first assignment of error Is relative to the trial court setting aside the confirmation of sale. The court holds that the power of the district court .over its own Judgments during the term at which the Judgment Is rendered Is discretionary and Is not sub ject to review. The decree was by default and by It the owner was not deprived of the taxes determined prior to' the. confirmation of the sale. Jadguent Against Railroad. For the third time the supreme court has handed down an opinion In the csie of John P. Parkin against the Missouri Pacific Railway company and has araln affirmed a Judgment tor 17,488.08 obtained by the plaintiff liu the district court of Sarpy county. This action was based upon a contract entered Into In 1191 under the terms of which Perkins was to furnish to the defendant 50,000 cubic yards of travel for ballast purposes, the earn to be loaded on th cars at Springfield and approved by the defendant's superintendent. The court holds that a new trial will not be granted upon the ground of newly discovered evidence where such evidence la merely cumulative and would not In all probability affect the result If a new trial were granted. It is also held that th defendant is not entitled to a new trial upon the ground of surprise, as the testimony complained of as surprising could have been brought out Dy ciosb xaminatlon at any of the previous trills. Cannot Prohibit Card Playing. In an opinion the supreme court lays down the doctrine that a city ot the sec ond class cannot by ordinance prohibit Innocent card playing In a place of busi ness. The power to ' enact and enforce such an ordinance must be specifically conferred In the charter of a municipality and there la no suoh -power conferred In the charters of cities of the second class. The case In which this opinion was ren dered was an application for a writ of habeaa corpus, the applicant being Martin L. Sapp of Wymote. He was convicted of keeping a card table In his place of business and allowing card games to be played which was In violation of a city or dinance.1' Ha applied for a wilt which the court grants, holding that- there- 4s no statute prohibiting the table and Innocent games and that the city cannot In the absence of specific authority pass and en force an ordinance such as that at Wj- more.

NORTH VLATTE The Union' Paclflo railroad Is having a great deal of trouble with th large quantity of coal which has been piled here along the switch tracks In large quantities. Fires from spontane ous combustion have been repeatedly breaking out and the rain during the past few days caused hundreds of such fires to start In these coal piles.

In one Instance, on a business property, the rate mi raised from $1.85 a hundred to IS. 17 a hundred. This raise of rates affect only the business portion of th city, but the increase is so radical that serious com plaint Is being made by those affected, and a number of Insurance agent her announce that they can and will plave Insurance at the former rates In non union Insurance companies. It seem that only the trust insurance companies are bound by the new rate.
