dictions to the contrary, we feel that there
v.ill be a heavy movement In real estate

please ask all those who have any kind of
City property or sale to kindly call on us
at an early date and leave with us a full
description of same. We do not Ask ex

and forget about It, but give the matter
your immediate attention.
In our land department we have some
very desirable cheap lands for sale at
prices ranging from $3.50 to $20.00 per
acre. ThlB land is an excellent Investment,
aa It Is rapidly Increasing in value. If you
have a piece of City or town property that
you think has about reached its limit In
Increase In value call and tell u. about It.
Perhaps we can exchange It for a nice

How I Made $50,000 for One Man in 50 Days
Fifty days ago I leased my rights to New York, Pennsylvania and the six
New England States to Mr. Arthur Vernon. His interests in the company
he has since organized and to whom he turned over his lease, are now worth,
on the open market, at the price the stock in his company is selling daily,
over $50,000. He says he could not be pried loose from what he got from
me for twice that sum.
If you want to know all about the Car-Sign business, write me and I
will send you a booklet telling the whole story. Yours very sincerely,

LINCOLN, March 18. (Sieqlal.) The ap
fclk'attoa of the attorney general for an
Injunction, against the express companies
Coins bualnejE In Nebraska to compel
them to obey the provisions of ths Sibley
law pending th final disposition of tho
Cass will be heard In the supreme court to
Snorrow. This application followed the re
cent decision o he court that the legal
department had a right to apply to the
courts for the enforcement of legislative
acts. The original suit against the express
companies was filed July 5. at which time
the Sibley law went tnto effect. The Bib
ley law provided that the express com
panies had thirty days after the passage
and approval of the act in whleh to file
their schedules of rates, and the express
companies held that ihia gave them until
August S to comply with the law. The de
cision of the court was tothe effect that
the law became operative' July S. After
the suit had been filed by the legal de
partment the express companies transferred
It to the federal court. Itere they asked
for an Injunction agajnst the railway com
mission and the attorney general, and the
application was rejected and the case trans
ferred back to the state court , and an
opinion handed down as referred to.
The express companies named In the suit
are the Adams, American, United States,
Wells-Kargo and Pacific. Each filed an
answer In the supreme court today ex
actly alike, with the exception of the in

done In Nebraska. Each asks for an In
junction against the railway commission
and attorney general.
Asiwrra jtl Companies.
Following Is -the substance of the an
swers filed:
The defendants aver that the state of
Nebraska, In Its sovereign capacity, has no
power or authority under the constitution
and laws of the state to maintain this suit.
The defendants deny that they had any
purpose on July 6, 1907. or before that time
or since to disobey the Sibley act in either
its letter or Its spirit. That prior to July
S In conference the officers of the several
express companies decided to obey the act
and put In force the schedule enforced by
Its terms unless a court of competent
jurisdiction should determine that the rates
were unreasonable and therefore invalid.
Subsequent to 'his conference counsel for
the several companies agreed among them
selves to advise tbeir clients and did ad
vise them to put Into force and effect the
schedules of rates provided unless a court
of competent jurisdiction adjudged the
rates confiscatory.
To that end the defendants, believing
that they were not bound by the terms of
said act to put Into effect the schedule of
rates until the expiration of thirty days
designated by the act within which they
were obliged to file with the railway com
mission, the rates In effect on January 1,
did Institute In the circuit court of the
United. States a suit In equity against the
railway commission and the attorney gen
eral. It was charged In this suit that the
rates wore confiscatory and a temporary
Injunction was asked for against the en
forcement of the act.
In said cause the railway commission and
the attorney general, resisting the action
for an Injunction, represented to the circuit
court that they had no Intention to enforce
or attempt to enforce the rates fixed by
the Sibley act until this court should ad
Judge and determine the validity of said
act and the rates prescribed therein.
The circuit court decided that the de
fendants were entitled to a temporary In
junction, but for the showing and assur
ances given by the members of the rail
way commission and the attorney general,
"that they had not taken any steps, had
not threatened to take an steps and had
not contemplated talng any steps to en
force any of the penal provisions of the
statute or to enforce the statute In any
manner, excepting the suit brought by the
s'He In Its supreme court for the purpose
of testing the validity of said enactment
(meaning this suit) and that they do not
contemplate the enforcement of any of Its
provisions until after auch question shall
be determined."
Leave was given by the circuit to renew
the -application for Injunction if changed
conditions should require it.
Of Its earnings the Pacific Express com
pany said for the year ending March 21.
1907. it recelvet for the transportation of
exnress mutter !r Ncb-aska l.il6 73. and
paid out riM.EJ6.94. To ;.iforce the Sibley
law would cause this company to lose
money. Had this law been In effect In
1 It would have lost Sl.tsTO.
The American Express company claims
If the rates In the act are put Into effect
the result will be an average reduction
of not less than 23 per cent. In the year
14 this eomptoiy received tl 56.874 and the
expenses amounted to 'not less" than
(127 lf. Had the Sibley rates been In effect
In 19d the company would have lost M.OU)
or more. '
The WeMs Fargo Express company re
ceived during the veer ending March 81.
19)17. the sum of HITS and paid out not less
than S3.000. Had the Sibley rates been In
effect durina- th'-t period the loss would
hsve been !.&.
The I'nited States Express company In
the year 1f4 received $12 761.10 and paid

The Adams Txress company's reeeiots
for the same period amounted to S77&.M3.
and expenses t?70.ttiO. The loss under
the Blbler act would have bten ttO.Cfl).
In conclusion the companies ask for an
Injunction against the state.

Superintendent Kera of the Hospital for
the Insane at Hastlags has not remitted
any cash funds to the state treasurer within
the past six months, according to the re
port of the state accountant. El B. Fair
field. Under the law enacted by the last
leg-slature cash funds la excess of S3D0 must
bs remitted to the stats treasurer, to be
credited to the Institution collecting ths
money and to be expended upoa proper
vouchers being filed, but. according to the
report Dr. Kara na tut baA la sissm vt
1300 on hand In any one month. The ac
countant says:
Cash is received and disbursed as It was
before state cash was required to be turned
Into the state treasury; no remittances
made, as balance does not exceed fcjoo. The
cash fund is chiefly spent by order of the
steward for miscellaneous Items. No vouch
ers are filled for state cash Items as there
is no balanoe on deposit with the state
treasurer. The state officers have no op
portunity of scrutinising state cash ex
penditures excepting as they appear on re
ports filed by the state ' superintendent.
This affords opportunity for scrutiny, but
not for auditing. .
During the last six months rash fund
receipts amounted to 876.76; dlsbursmnts,
$930.85; balance on hand, $153.06. The chief
source of the cash fund Is he sale of hides
from beef cattle. Beef cattle, butter and
eggs, are big Items in the list of goods
bought by permit. During the last three
months S6.SO0 was expended by permit from
the state board. During the prior three
months $4,500 was expended by permit.
The accountant believes purchases by per
mit may possibly be reduced. The account
ant will make a special report in regard
ta the condition of the funds of the insti
tution. In addition to his $2,600 salary as
superintendent and living expenses Dr.
Kern receives $300 a year for his services
as postmaster. He says the eostofflce at
the institution saves the state money, as
before Its establishment the state paid a
mall carrier from $30 to $35 a month.
