(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Feb. 8. (S;eelal.)-The State
Railway commission Is looking up facta
and Investigating the work of tlio com
missions of other states preparatory to the
hearing to be granted P. A. Caldwell ion
his application for the promulgation of a
distance tariff rate. The commission has
secured a complete copy of the proceedings
of the Minnesota commission, which hud
the matter under consideration from May,
106, to September, 190G, before It finally
Issued an order, In the meantime hazing
Held several hearings at which testimony
, was given both by the railroads and the
ihlppcrs. The Investigation was made as
l result of a legislative resolution, the leg
islature providing an appropriation for the
purpose. The matter of Importance to the
Nebraska commission Is that part of the
final order which reads, 'This order does
not prevent the charging of a lower rate
than that provided by exhibit A, but In
case a less rate is charged on one class all
classes must be reduced so as to preserve
the relative relations between the classes
fixed In exhibit A."
September 7, 1906. a protest was received
by the Minnesota commission from the Job
bers and wholesale manufacturers against
the adoption of the rates, claiming It would
work a hardship on the city of Duluth.
The protest was overruled on the ground
that the rates made were maximum lates
and in Its opinion sufficiently liberal to
warrant the railroad companies In pre
serving the relative conditions which then
existed between the different terminals of
the state." The commission's order pro
vided a maximum rate for all terminal or
distributing stations, but permitted the
railroads to charge a maximum -rate 5 per
cent higher for station other than those
mentioned and not denying the railroads
the right to charge lower rates In order
to prevent a change in the system then in
.vogue.
Stock Shippers C'onivlala.
R. w. Ralston has complained to the
' State Railway commission about the way
. stock shippers are treated by the Union
Pacific at Grand Island, referring par
ticularly to the through shippers. He wrote
that iho through stock trains are stopped
two miles from the depot, and the yards
are not lighted. That If tho shipper had
to go to the town for something to eat
he frequently returned to find the train
' gone, and he always has to run the risk
of being injured by Turlington trains,
having to cross the Burlington tracks to
get to the town. The commission will take
the matter up with the company.
War on "Dope" Habit.
Governor Sheldon is going to stop the
"dope' habit at the state penitentiary. He
Is ifoliig to prevent prisoners from securing
morphine or other drugs, even If he has
to deny visitors admittance to the institu
tion. Including workers in the broom fac
tory. At his suggestion Dr. Giffln. the
prison physician, has Just made an in
vestigation of the Institution with a view
to finding out how many prisoners are
"dope" usere. His report says the peni
tentisry Is not a reformatory, but a "dope"
house. He gave the names of twelve prison-
' who are habitual "dope" fiends, but

Written In 1007
he said this report Is only a partial list,
and that probably 150 prisoners In all use
drugs. ' . r ,
Governor Sheldon has talked the matter
over with th5 members of the Board of
Public Lands and Buildings, and all agree
that drastic measures must We taken to
break up the habit. Warden iieemer has
tried In vain to prevent the prisoners from
getting morphine and Governor Mickey also
tried to break up the practice, but he, too,
was unsuccessful. The governor Is seri
ously considering having Ur. Giffln doclaro
the institution under quarantine and refuse
to permit anyone from either going in the
prison or leaving it until the habit is bioken
up.
Just how the prisoners get the drugs has
not yet been discovered, but before he
concludes his Investigations the governor
expects to discover Just who Is at fault.
Case Is for Tnft.
"I think the republicans of Cage county
favor the nomination of Secretary Taft,"
said Samuel Rinlker of Beatrice, who is
here attending1-to private legal business.
"In my opinion. Secretary Taft, while more
than any other candidate representing tho
Roosevelt policies, has a Judicial mind,
which qualifies him for the Important posi
tion to which he aspires. He Is able, pro
gressive and has had wonderful experience.
So for as I have heard, practically all of
the republicans in Gage county favor his
candidacy." In discussing the personnel of
the delegation to the national convention,
Mr. Rinlker suld while he believed as a
general proposition the party is strength
ened by passing around the honors, he saw
no reason why an office-holder well quali
fied for a position on the delegation should
be kept at heme solely by reason of the
office he held.
o Pardon for Von Haller.
George Von Haller, serving a life sen
tence In the penitentiary for a murder
committed in Douglas county, will get no
relief for the present at least though his
appeal to Governor Sheldon. The governor

for the present take no action In this case.

tentiary for ten years for murder In the
second degree from Douglas county, will
be released February 11, after having
served four years nine months and twenty
days. Govenor Sheldon commuted his sen
tence to six years, which brings about his
release on the date mentioned. McGuigan

phy in a row which began in a saloon and
terminated on the outside, when Murphy,
so McGuigan said, with other railroad
graders, Jumped on him. Judge Estelle, the

Wife Gets 10,000 Alimony.
NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Feb. g.-(Spe-cial.)
The sensational divorce case of Cal
vin Chapman against his wife, Harriet,
was decided In the district court last even
ing, and Mr. Chapman was given a decree
conditioned that he deed over to his wife
one-third of his holdings, which are esti
mated at J38.COO. The court rendered the
decree giving Mrs. Chapman $19,000 as her
alimony. Mr. and Mrs. Chapman were
married in this city some forty years ago
and lived together all of these years. To
them were born three daughters, who mar
ried. One of them has been divorced. De
spite the fact that Mrs. Chapman la about
five feet and four Inches In height and her
husband is six feet tail and a very large
man, he charged her with cruelty and with
abusing him. This testimony was given to
the court while the wife remained away
and accepted the alimony, which had been
agreed upon by their attorneys before the
trial.
Mr. and Mrs. Chapman are both promi
nent, and Mr. Chapman, aside from being
one of the leading deacons of the Baptist
church of this city, has held many public
offices and several times has been candi
date for mayor. He and his wife started
In life, and by hard work and saving ac
cumulated the fortune which they have.
Mrs. Chapman has considerable property
In her own right, and several years ago
adopted the plan of not signing any deeds
for her husband unless she was given one
third of the sale price. This money she in
vested well, and is quite well to do.
Their children have tried to adjust the
matter, but have failed, and the wife, in
her cross-petition, charged that the hus
band had met his "affinity" and was ask
ing for the divorce so he could marry her.
The affinity was a divorced woman, whose
husband, after the divorce proceedings. In
stituted a suit against Mr. Chapman for a
large sum for alienating the affections of
his wife. The case Is still on the docket in
the form of Bond against Chapman.

for all time, unless overruled by the su
preme court.
