Thla la the Information, that, has come to the railroad commission from I'latte county, wjiere the county attorney la now determined to begin criminal action under the rfew law at once. County Attor ney Hensley delayed for a time, having received Intimation thai, the passes would be returned, (hiring the negotiation that took place the attitude of the railroad waa made known. Where rami a have been held prosecutions will at once he begun. Attorney Edson" Illch 'of Omaha. r.'pre "sentlng the I'nlon Pacific, aent a letter to the railroad commissioners today In which he made further explanations of the iais Ituatlon. In this he anys the transporta tion given surgeons In Nebraska by the I'nlon Pacific Is in accordance with con tinuing contracts entered with them In 1906 and under which the passee are renewed each year. The contracts were made be fore the enaefment of the anti-pass law, hence the claim tjie transportation Is un affected. Each contract Is perpetual, de fending .on the , pleasure of the road for termination for cause. The road, there fore, claims the right to Issue It surgeons their pasteboards. Compensation for Service. The road, Mr Klch says, compensates Its urgeons In addition to furnishing free transportation end the pass In a portion of the payment under thls4 contract. Mr. Klch names three physicians who have returned their pauses, being Peter C. Kelley of Alda, Fronts Swoboda of Barnard and C. J. Smith oPUlg Spring. Mr. Rich say further that In the first record made, John J. Kllck and C. U. Ken nedy of Omaha. were Jiiade recipients of passes, when a a matter of fact, they had never received them. pr. Thomas Truel en of Omaha, has at contract with the road for his service and Is paid $133 a month and devotes more than half his tlmo to the service. , An exception' to the contract rule apply ing to other surgeons Is the cast of Ells B. Mills of Kearney. Dr. George Brash of Beatrice, one of the board of secretaries of the State Board of Health, has na pass, though hi was reported aa having one and 'Dr. V. A. Graham of Lincoln, whoee namo waa not reported should have been on the list as possessing one.' ' It Is not thought the representation of the lallroad will be of avail. The state board and attorney general have Informa tion that the passe aent surgeons bear on their back the usual sjar?ment that they are free passes, hence the foundation for prosecution In spite of the alleged con tracts. The attorney general Is not dis posed to yield from his announced posi tion. ' Editor Arai Arrlvlnar. , Trepidant H. C.

F. L. Loveland. WORK AFTER GETTESQ THESE Finality Beat (in Graveyards, Not la Life, and Heaven 1 Scene of Perpetnal Energy. Surprising hi hearers with he statement that heaven Is not a 'plsce of everlasting, restful peace, and that those who reach th promised land will not forever rest on Abraham's bosom. Rev. Ftank L. Loveland at th First Methodist church 8unday morn Ing declared that heaven will give the faith ful a chance of expansion of capacity and extension of activities. In support of his theory, he quoted Christ's parable of the talents: "Well dore, thou good and faith ful servant, thou hast been faithful over a few things; I will make thee ruler over many things, enter thou Into the Joy of thy Lord." "The theoioglsn teach us that when we reach heaven come rest and peace, and all human effort, all Intellectual effort, all scriptural effort cease," said Rev. Mr. Loveland. "Thla Idea Is fostered by the thought that heaven la a gosl to be won and that wen we have reached that goal It Is all done. But that does not seem to be the conception of Jesus Christ With Him heaven was never a goal to be won, never an attainment. With Jesus of Nasar eth. heaven was simply not a goal and the completion of a program, but waa the be ginning of the everlasting life and th com mencement of a program. Activity, Not Idleness. "The parable of the talents prove that heaven Is not a place of Idleness, but a place of activity. Heaven Is by no means a place of psalm singing, waving of palms and lolling on the banks of the river of life with nothing to do forever, but, to my conception, heaven Is the soldier who haa fought well In the ranks and steps out Into command of a regiment; It is a scholar who has learned well his lesson and heard his Master say he may matriculate In the sky; It Is the artisan who has done well and heard the call, 'Come up higher, enter thou Into the Joy of thy Lord.' "What Is the 'Joy of thy Lord?' Is it simply waving palms and walking over golden streets? Never. Get rid of that thought that through all milleneums to come we have got to be laxy. I know that If I am faithful with the talent I have here I will have some kind of rulership over there. For Jesus hitches this world right onto the next. What's right here will be right over there; what's duty here will be duty over there; what's service her will be service over there; what's wrong here will be wrong over there, and If Idleness la wrong her it wllj be doubly condemned over there. "Finality rests In graveyards, not In life. Heaves Is a scene of perpetual acUvlty. Jesus gives us the Idea that It will be of expanding duties: 'Thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make you master over many things.' " KEEP BUILDING FOR ETERNITY Rev. . A. Deck Tells Itl Aadlence Not to Be Weary of Well Doing:. Rev. Q. A. Deck of the First United Evangelical church at Twenty-fourth and Franklin streets preached Sunday morn ing from the text Gallatlans vl.:. His theme was "Be Not Weary of Well Doing." 'He spoke of ' the reward that eventually coma to all ' good . . efforts, though at the outlet things may appear very discouraging. "Jesus knows i what we aim to do, and if we put all of our might into well doing He is there to help us." said Rev. Mr. Deck. "Yet It Is well to bear In mind that those who soweth of the flesh shall reap corrup tion, but he that soweth of the spirit hall reap life everlasting. Criticism of painstaking religious effort is sometimes very discouraging. Any fool can tear down, but It takes a mechanic to build up. Then there are some who tear down to build up again. The world has too many critics of the tearing down kind, but not enough of the building up type. I would rather seek to save souls In my humble way, even though subjected to criticism, than not to do 1 at ell. We are sometimes discouraged over the apparent lack of results. I am not one, who believes that the whole world can be converted at once.' The conversions must com on by one. God tells us we shall reap a bountiful har vest from well doing, and I like God's 'must.' The seed of the soul is inde structible. The seed of 'the word Is alive because the spirit of God 1 in it. Some time result are a long time in com ing. I believe in working for immediate resul.s, at least they are worth striving for. The little seed of effort Is potent and will In due time come to an abundant harvest. There la a time coming when we shall reap the things we nave sown. Be they for good, then will be the good fruits of the harvest. A little faithful effort for Jesus Christ ' will have Its boundless reward. Is that reward there for not worth striving for?" EDUCATION A FIRST ESSENTIAL Calvermal Learning; Neeeaaary to Good Cltlsenshlp, Says Dr. Conley. "Be ye good citizens in the kingdom of God. for If a man Is a good ctUsen in that kingdom he will be a good cltiten everywhere," said Rev. J. W. Conley, pas tor of the First Baptist .church, Sunday morning. In a sermon on "Good Citizen ship In the Kingdom." "Intelligence I one of the first essential element of good citizenship in a nation or any kingdom. Charlemagne long ago Insisted that all who helped In government should be educated. A all In this country assist in government, we should insist on universal education.

Hugh Campbell, Jr., haa had croup time and again, but hla parents feared no serious results when they had Chamberlain's Cough Remedy In the house. It always relieved him promptly. When he had tonsllitla we found that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was the best medicine we could give him, and I had a chest full of different medicines. Chamberlain's was tho one of my choice because it always cured and because it was pleasant and safe to take. Mrs. Hush Campbell, this boy's mother says, "I wish every mother of young children that have croup was as familiar with Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as I am. The first cause of my pinning my faith to this wonderful cough medi cine was on account of being informed that it contained no oplun or other narcotic, and that it was as safe to give a child as to an adult." r Your chance to, get a desirable small room "We have at this time three particularly desir able small offices, one 8x15. feet, which rents for $10.00; another, 12x15, renting for $12.00 on the sixth floor; another slightly larger office, with a vault, on the fourth floor, 14x18, which rents for $18.00 per month.

Vie reporter had run the gantlet past the fii'ti iiHsiHtant secretary, and was now to !e admitted Into the presence of the great Man of Finance. The Man of Finance wheeled In his chair, laid down the reporter's card, and greeted the man from the newspaper affably. The newsgathercr had anticipated trouble In getting the Man of Finance to talk on the financial stringency, and his graclouuness camo as a surprise. . "I do not mind being quoted to this ex" tent," smiled the man at the desk, "to the effect that I believe that the preaent un easiness has a cause. Cause and effect ko hand and hand. Everything would now point co the fact that money in various quantities Is hard to get readily. No doubt the origin lies somewhere or A'thor; I am positive that there Is an origin. The money market fluctuates under different condi tions. It Is Just now fluctuating; this, I would say, is due to the different condi tions.
