PLAINVILI.E. Neb., Nov. 12 -Marsh Van
Dover, a demented character, living east
of town, created considerable stir here tliis
morning by demanding possession of the
Security State bank, and ordering the post
master to close up the government's busl
I uess. Shortly after the bank opened this
I morning Van Dover appeared and asked
1 the 1 resident, O. E. Engler, If he was
ready to turn over the money In the bank
, to lilrii. Mr. Engler politely Informed the
I unfortunate man that he was nut. where
; upon. Van Dover stated that he would go

of the building at the point of a revolver.
Van Dover then climbed Into his vehicle
and went home. He was followed by Mar

LINCOLN. Nov. 12 (Special Telegram.)
John McConnell of Somerset. Neb., baa
no coal to sell and as a result the people
of his town are shivering. There Is no
coal In the place to burn and where the
kindling wood ddes not hold out there la
nothing to put In the stoves. The railroad
commission was asked to Intervene today
and It took the matter up with the Bur
lington, which promised to hurry up the
htpment.
Mr. McConnell says he bought coal In
Denver August 2 and paid for It. The con
signment was shipped October It and has
not put In an appearance.
When asked about the mater Mr. Dicken
son said the delay probably resulted from
the congestion of freight south of Denver.
He promised to take the matter up Imme
diately. Governor Sheldon has been invited to
attend the tournament of roses given on
New Tear'a day at Pasadena. He will not
be able to go west at this time.
Warden A. "D. Beemer today received
the death warrant of Harrison Clarke, the
condemned negro murderer who la to hang
Friday, December 13. Clarke was con
victed tt shooting a street car conductor
In South Omaha. The supreme court has
twice refused to reverse his sentence.
Railroads Fight Oil Rates.
Attorneys for the Northwestern and
Santa Fe railroads have filed a brief before
the State Railroad commission In the case
where the May shall Oil "company and Na
tional Petroleum association and National
I Refining company have asked for a re
j duced rate on the shipment "of oil. The
: brief admits the rates in Nebraska are
1 higher than In Kansas and Iowa, but that
the rates In these two states were put In
force by the Railway commission over the
objection of the railroads and therefore
could not be used at "prima facie" evi
dence that they are compensatory, in the
meaning of the law, when It sets out the
lowest rate In any state shall be taken as
prima facie evidence of a fair rate. The
brief contends that no evidence was In
troduced to show that the rate In Ne
braska was too high. The real gist of the
matter is, the brief says, that the Marshall
Oil company wants the rate reduced so that
it can compete with the tank lines of the
Standard Oil company. Inasmuch ss there
Is no discrimination In the rate, but the
same rate Is given all the shippers and
that no evidence has been Introduced to
show that It Is too high, the brief asks that
the complaint be dismissed. The brief was
filed I by J. W. Orr of -Topeka and C. C.
Wrljht of Omaha.
To Settle Boyd County Land Cases.
The State Board of Educational Lands
and Funds will listen to arguments from
the Boyd county settlers "Wednesday. Tho
question to be discussed Is the time the
lands should be appraised, the settlers
having been given permission to purchase.
The land was appraised some two years
ago under the direction of Land Commis
sioner Eaton, and an average value of $12
was placed upon It. The settlers contend
that the value ot the land taken at the
time the case went to the supremo court,
which wds about (hree years ago, should
be the basU of sale. The. land m.-questlon
Is a part of the school land and has been
In controversy for many years.
Express Companies Kile Answer.
Attorney General Thompson has received
the answer of the express companies to his
petition filed In federal court In answer
to their application for an injunction
against Ihe operation of the Sibley law.
It was filed In federal court at Omaha,
and alleges that the attorney, general Is
not specific enough In his answers.
Looks I.Ike a Rebate.
The State Railway commission is up
against a hard proposition. The Nebraska
Telephone company wants to know whether
It would be discrimination for It to sell
coupon books calling for $120 worth of lon
distance talk for $100. The question Is
difficult for the commission because some
time ago It required the Lincoln Traction
company to sell six fares for 15 rents,
though it Is permitted to charge 5 cents for
a single ride. One member of the commis
sion Is now of the opinion that this is a
dlscrlmlnaton against the man who has
only a 6-cent pece and wants to ride. If
it is not a discrimination In the street car
case he detm't see how it could be a dis
crimination n the case of the telephone
company, though at this time he feels It
Is. The matter has already been discussed
with the legal department and while At
torney General Thompson has given no
opinion and neither has he had an op
portunity to look up the matter, he Is of
the opinion the cases arc not similar at
all. Inasmuch as the 25 cents charged for
six street car tickets Is merely a nominal
sum, while in the matter of selling $12u
worth of. telephone coupons for $100, the
figures look large "enough to resemble
rebate for the big business concerns, which
can afford to buy so much at one time.
Mearaon Resumes lfla Plan. 1
Prof. J. W. Searson, who was acquitted
of the churgi of criminal assault preferred
by one of his pupils, Miss Katharine Hud
son, went to work yesterday morning at
his old place as an Instructor In the Pefu
Normal school. The normal board met the
day of the acquittal and upon the recom
mendation of the investigating committee
exonerated him and reinstated him in his
old position.' Treasurer Brian, who was
a member of the Investigating committee
of the normal board, aaid be was thor
oughly convinced of the innocence of Sear
son, but he was unable to explain why the
young woman ever made her charges.
Banks Wot Being Examined.
The bank examiners are taking a rest.
The banking department thought It the
better policy not to send them out at pres
ent inasmuch as the presence of a bank
examiner in a small town Just at this time
night do Injury, when as a matter of
fact the bank may be all right and In good
condition.
Aa to Para Food Law.
The matter of calling a meeting of the
various county attorneys to discuss the
enforcement of the pure food law has been
suggested to the attorney general by Food
Commissioner Johnson. If the goverr-or
thinks It advisable, such a meeting will
be calld.
Eaton Needs the Money.
Mrs. H. M. Eaton began her duties In
the office of her husband. Land Commis
sioner Eaton. In explanation of his part
In extending the family circle Mr. Eaton
merely said he needs the money and let It
go at that. Others have made no explana
tion. The number of relatives in state In
stitutions have not been checked up yet,
but the last to get on the pay roll Is the
wife of Commander Preason of the Mil

LONG PINE, Neb., Nov. 12. (Special.)
During the last summer Ue residents
of Long Tine have seen more new build
ings completed than at any other tlma
In the history of the town. Twenty-five
new dwellings were finished within the
last five months. The brick work on the
Masonic building has Just been finished,
and when this building Is completed It
will be one of the finest In this part if
the state. The building is of cement
brick, with the exception of the front,
which Is of pressed brick. The building
Is 60x60, the first floor being divided Into
1 two psrts. The north part will be used
by the Brown County bank and the south
room by the postofflce. The top floor Is
being built by the Masonic lodge and will
consist of a reception room, a dining
room and a large lodge room.
The foundation for the new Methodist
church has been finished, but the balance
of the work will probably be postponed
until spring on account of the disagree
ablo weather. When completed this will
bo the finest church this side of Fremont.
This church Is to take the place of the
one wrecked by the tornado which visited
Long Pine last July. The church peoplo
will spare nothing to make this a fine
piece of work for their house of worship.
