LINCOLN. Feb. 26. (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.
Resolved. That we tender our hearty
thanks of appreciation to the Lincoln Com
mercial club for the very enjoyable banquet
given by it In honor of this B.ssoclatlon ;
to Lincoln" Typographical union for its
cordial greetings, reception and ball given
in our tie'iaii: toirovcrnor ana Mrs. sneiaon
for the courtesies shown us In the recep
tion tendered the members of the associa
tion at the executive mansion.
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.
"The Trust that Affects I's" was discussed
by George Lyon, N. J. Ludl and others;
Colonel John J. Ryder, who told the ed
itors about "Jollying Along;" Anna V.
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. Bryan, who closed
the spee hmuking.
The wives of the members of the asso
ciation attended a performance at the Ma

the people. He called attention to the re- i

It was meant to discourage municipal own-

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.

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

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

are being followed.

P. M. Frease, a stockman of North Bend,

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.

Aatronosner Will Hare to Formu

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. That there was some force pulling It
from Its orbit and that thia compelling
force was the attraction of planet inter
vening between it and the sun was the
general theory.
Prof. Campbell last night said:
These photographic plates dispose of
this theory and mathematicians will have
to look elsewhere for forces. While the
plates have not received their final devel
opment, they make the absence of planets
certain."

till role doe not suffer by comparison. As
"Jim Tucker." captain of the crew. Waller

who has the college Interest at heart be
fore everything; else. With bis excellent
Interpretation of "Jack Randall." the col
lege chum of Dick. Emce Hamilton pushes
the role among the leaders. As "Jlmsey,"
the messenger boy, Mathew Kelley fits, and
completely captivates the audience wtth the
rendition of the popular son. "When We
Were a Couple of Kids," during the last
act. The thankless hole of "lve Burley,"
w ho would stop at nothing to gain hi end.
Is well enacted by Charles Brabain. while
William Vaughan Is the typical professor
of pugilism. Besides being attractive, Phyl
lis Bostwtck gives a charming interpreta
tion of "Dorothy Randal," In lov with
"Dick."
The production is excellently staged and
