(Special. ) The meet ing of the Nebraska Press association came to a close tonight with a reception and ball given by the Lincoln Typographical union in honor of the editors snd Its own twrnty fifth anniversary. The last day was the busiest of all and the program was sprinkled with big guns and the discussions were vigorous and warm. Being slow to recover from the effects of last night's banquet, the editors did not begin the morn ing session until most printers had already done a day's work. This gave them time only to elect officers and hear Will Mauptn read his annual report as secretary and treasurer and decline to be considered for re-election, because he said he wanted to enjoy the next meeting without having to work himself to death. The association elected the following offi cers: L. V. Varner of the Sterling Sun. president; N. J. Ludl of the Wahoo Demo crat, vice president; C. C. Johns of the Wood River Sunbeam, secretary and treas urer; Mrs. Kelthley of Syracuse, corre sponding secretary. Grand Island was chosen aa the next meeting place. Secretary Maupin reported that the total receipts of the meeting amounted to $328.25 and tbe total expenses $214.15. The follow ing resolutions were adopted: Protest aa Postal R alias;. We felicitate ourselves that the thirty fifth nnnsal session of the Nebraska Press association has twen one of profit ard great pleasure to those In attendance. Us suc cess Is due to those who have been active and efficient In arranging the program, as well aa to those who have given addresses and pupers; therefore, be It Resolved, That to all these we return our sincere thanks Resolved. That since the growth In Im portance of the commercial side of the publishing business In Nebraska is such as to demand a more systematic develop ment of the business, we renew our en deavor each to Introduce and employ more businesslike method in the conduct of our affairs, and we urge that in these associa tion meetings the practical questions that daily contront us tie as largely presented for discussion as rney be done; and. Whereas. We realise more and more fully the responsibility of the power In our hands as custodian of the channels of news and directors of the public thought and Intelligence, we here resoli'e to dedicate ourselves even to higher ideals p.nd stand ards, that we may more worthily perform the hiph mission that is ours.

Whereas. All newspapers possess more or less historical value; and. Whereas, There is need for their preser vation for the use of the future historian, student and investlgalor; and. Whereas, The Nebraska Historical so ciety has provided suitable vaults and is willing to receive, bind and care for all Nebraska newspapers; therefore, be It Resolved, by the Nebraska Press associa tion, in convention assembled. That the editors and publishers of Nebraska be urged to send regularly to the said His torical society two copies of their rospective papers. Resolved. That we recognize In the re cent ruling of the Poetoffire department concerning limitations of unpaid newspaper subscriptions to the right of second-class rates of postage es a stimulus to the adop tion of more businesslike methods by pub lishers, but we submit that the enforce ment of this ruling threatens the countrv publisher's right of Implied contract and governmental interference with the legiti mate business relations between the coun try publisher and his patrons The program for the day included sjieeches by such statesmen as Alfred Sorenson, who talked on reminiscences, but who told only a very small part of what he might have told had he told it all.

Gates of the Auburn Granger, who talked of the "Newspaper Woman;" M. A. Brown, who talked of a "Party Organ." and R. B. Walqulst, who led the discussion on this subject, and then W. J.

M FT ill III I To correct any possible misunderstanding as to our business methods, we publish the following letter, written by John Gray Vawter, whom we have already placed in two good paying positions: THE WESTERN Suite 721-722 N. Y. Life Cldg., Omaha, Neb. GENTLEMEN: Replying to your inquiry relative to any complaint I have made against your company on charges you have made for the two positions secured me, I wish to f-tate that I absolutely have made no com plaint whatever to this effect; that I am perfectly satisfied with your services. I am at the present time again open for another position and will be more than glad to pay the nominal charge you make of 25 of the first month's salary if you will secure another position for me. I take this opportunity of recommending your company to anyone who is in need of a position. Thanking you again for the valuable assistance you have always rendered me, I beg to remain, Yours very respectfully, n Va The Western Reference and Bond Assn., Inc.

Be fore his latter reached Mr. Hitchcock he said he received a telegram from the lat ter asking; when he would return to Ne braska and would he consider accenting; the proposition of editor of the Dully and Weekly World-Herald. I'pon coming; home Mr. Metcalfe, he said, insisted upon Bryan becoming the editor-in-chief, l.e himself lielng willing to lie the associate editor. It was due lurg-ely to Mr. Metcalfe, Mr. Bryan said, that he became editor of the Omaha paper. Mr. Bryan told the editors I there was mote than merely making money ' connected with a newspaper. He warned . the editors against the prcas bureau, many j of Which he said were operated from I Washington for the purpose of deceiving j the people. He called attention to the re- i cent publication by a press bureau of j articles that municipal ownership of water ' works In Lincoln was a failure. Thin the j people here knew was false, he said, but-, It was meant to discourage municipal own- ershlp In other places. I Worth of a Jolljr. Colonel Ryder gave the tiewsparer nr-n ) something to think about that wou'.d result In advertising Nebraaka as he believes the 1 state should be advertised. He said: In a somewhat extended exiieriem e ai country newspajier man and city reporter I have gained the belli t that the very hL ! thing In life is to jolly along. The faculty i to dn this helps In business, in politics, in j the home life; it lightens the solemnity that too often attaches to rhurch affairs: the ! judKe with the light heart most easily teni- ' i s jUBtioe w ith mercy. It is the sense of I humor, the ability of the distressed soul to looii beyond immediate I Is, that paves many a man and woman from despair. h.Vrn , d'-fcat brings no fatal canker of cre to j mortals who have within them the disrvi- 1 sit ion to use a jolly Instead of a jimmy. With the one you can get inside a man s i guard: if you undertake to use the other be will fight. Nebraska editors have really a great deal to lolly over, when we sift out the chaff, we can, without presumption, call for so:ne special music for Nebraska, and can uf pardoned for singing a little soni? as we jolly along. Kansas has us beut-n for noise, but our measure Is more stately. From a scat away back our nelFhb'r on the south has been moved into the front row bv the nowe.r of the press, wisely used. With the same amount of exertion directed j in a similar channel. jvetirasKa would long ago have taken in the minds of people else where the high pos'tion she Is entitled to. Working for Kansas, a man named Ooburn has made the world realise that the fr thy things of politics which crea'ed a hurri cane of bufoonery did not affect the s ll or shake the solid bane of agriculture. He has forced a nation-wide admis.-ion of the richness and the attractions of Kansas, by BHtnng forth persistently and with a sym pathetic touch her high lights, reflected from the farms. He has bet n sturdily backed up by the home newspapers, an by the Kansas correspondents of the press as sociations and the eastern newspapers. For some reason Nebraska has failed to reap as she should In this flWd. -t ub see what claims we can put forth, and I feel sire vou will find satisfaction in the show nt. Set Weight flaws 1 aeaastltatloaal. Judge Cornish, of the district court, held this afternoon that the section of the pare food law providing for the stamping of net weight upon packages was unconstitutional and instructed the Jury to return a verdict of not guilty In tbe case against Swift and Company charged with stllng meat pack ages upon which the net weight had not been stamped aa. there was attempt to de fraud. Judge Cornish said the police pow ers of the state did not extend lo compell ing the stamping of net weights upon food packages and therefore that section of the pure food law was unconstitutional. County Attorney Tyrrell, who filed the complaint at the request of Food Commis sioner Johnson, will appeal the case to the supreme court In order to have the law passed upon by that body. Attorneys for the packing house filed briefs with the food commissioner before the ault wss filed and tried to convince him that It was Impossible to comply with that sect lu on of the law In the matter of meats, but the food commissioner Insisted on bis Interpre tation of the law and in this he was finally seconded by tbe attorney general. The case has been on most of the week. OsiBMlttaa ta Klakala. Reliable Information has reached Lincoln that Congressman Kinkaid la to have op position for a renomlnation and that shortly two candidates will come oat against him. The men mentioned are Judge Grimes of North Platte and P. EL it --e man of Kearney. Judge Grimes was electad district Judge at the last election without opposition. Mr. Beeman is an attorney re siding at Kearney and has for some years been talked about as a congressional can didate. Hearlasj aa fssl Rate. Railway Commissioner Clarke left this afternon for Washington where he will represent tbe Nebraska commission at a hearing before tbe Interstate Commerce commission en Union Pacific and rates jhwiyj j REF. & BOND ASS'N, from Rock Springs and Hanna, Wyo., to Nezrabka points. The Union Faclflc charges a blanket rate of $3.50 and (4.50 on all coal shipped Into Nebraska from the above mentioned points. These rates, the brief of the defendant states, are excessive and are much higher than those In effect in other states. The complaint sets forth a proposed schedule on lump, nut. pea and slack coal from the mines to all sta tions in Nebraska. Holleaberk Has Complaint. Dr. S. B Hollenbeck of Lincoln has com plained before the State Railroad commis sion that an extra charge cf t2 a month is made for a residence telephone In his home, the company charging him M a month, while ordinary patrons are charged J2 for the same time. He declares this to be dis crimination. The company explains this Is done because in the directory the title "Dr." is prefixed to tbe name and the ad vertisement is alleged to be worth the money. Kearney people appeared before the rail road commission this morning and a hear ing continued through the day over tele phone rates. The Kearney Telephone com pany desires to raise them and citizens, headed by 8. G. Beeman, are resisting, al leging that usual '"corporation" methods are being followed. Bellow Like a Ball." P. M. Frease, a stockman of North Bend, has written the railroad commission that the man who calls the trains In the Omaha Union station "bellows like a bull." He declares no one can understand him and then he continues that if information Is asked of htm on tbe side the chance is It may be wrong. He declares he was misin formed about the time of departure of a Union Pacific train and. supposing it to be thirty minutes late, returned to find It departed on time. Mr. Frease also wants to know tf the commission cannot enforce a regulation that a freight caboose shall be stopped near the depot instead of half a mile away. Mate Fair Races.

NO PLANETS T0 DRAW STAR Aatronosner Will Hare to Formu late New Theory for Artloa af Mercarj. BAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 2C.-That there are no planets between the sunand Mer cury and that scIi-nt;Mfi wiH have to build up some other theory to explain, why Mercury does not move in t! e regular ornii described for it are the curd; utions I'rof. W. W. Campbell, head of tl),e Lick ob servatory, has arrived at from the devel opment of photographic plates taken at Flint Island several months ago. They show the complete absence of any planet between the sun and Mercury. i For fifty years astronomers have been disturbed by the problem that Mercury does not follow the path of orbit which should be Its natural course, and which mathematical, astronomy has outlined for it.
