LINCOLN. March 17. Bpeclal.)-In the
matter of tho aulta against tha express
companies to compel them to obey tha
Bllbey law, Deputy Attorney General
Grant Martin, acting for Attorney Gen
eral Thompson, thle morning filed a mo
tion for tha appointment of a referee ta
take teatlmony and recommended tha ar
polntment of C. A. Rawls of Caas county
to act aa referee. In presenting tile mo
tion Mr. Martin Informed tho court that
Attorney General Thompson waa out of
tho city and ihnt he waa not familiar with
the cane.. He asked that tha application be
argued April 7 at tha name tlma telling
the court that jf tho atata waa entitled
to a temporary Injunction It ihould be
granted.
Today waa aet for tho express companlea
to make their answers to tho application
of the atate for an Injunction and these
answers, filed yesterday, were supple
mentcd by affldavlta filed today In which
the attorneys and the orflclala of the five
companies swore that It waa never their
intention to disobey tho Sibley law; that
Just as soon aa a court had passed on the
reosonahleneas of th rates they wero will
ing to put them In effect If tho ratee were
found Just by the court; that tho rail
way commission had set out In affidavit
that It had no Intention of starting penal
aulta until tha matter of the ratea had
been adjudicated In the courta; for these
reasons the express companies asked for
an Injunction against tho railway commis
sion and attorney general and asked the
court to refuse tha Injunction asked for
by the slate.
After tha atate had filed Its motion for
tha appointment of a referee thla morn
ing Judge Williams, a member of tha
railway commission, filed a protest agalnat
the appointment of a referee. Judge Will
iams argued that testimony could only
be given on business dona under tho old
rates and therefore would be worthless
In determining the Justness of tho ratea
In tha Bibley law; that It would delay tho
enforcement of the law; that the law It
self acted aa an injunction and should be
obeyed; If the rates were too law then tho
express companies could apply to the rail
way cominlHslon for relief as tle law pro
vided. Hearing; In Fralt Rates.
The hearing granted tho fruit men today
tiy the Railway commission was strictly
Informal and fifteen or twenty railroad
men and fruit ralsera went over the mat
ter thoroughly. The proteat against pres
ent rates was made originally by a. commit
tee of tho Horticultural society, consisting
of Messrs. Youngers, Marshall and Russell.
The complaint was agalnat both the ex
press companies and the railroads. The
hearing brought out that a low rate for
the shipment 'of fruit had been made last
year from those towns In the fruit produc
ing belt, but ho fruit was shipped. These
rates Jiad been overlooked by the express
companies, but when, Mr. Russell Investi
gated he expressed himself as being satis
fied, provided the express companies would
add a few mora points from which these

Prvsaoat Kate Qaeatloa.
The Commercial t?ub of Fremont tiaa
wrltten'a letter to 'the State Railway com
mission giving tha views of members of the
club on the proposed schedule of rates to
be promulgated by the commiaslon after
a hearing, which begins . March 24. The
club sent out circular letters to the people
of Fremont, asking for Individual opinions
on the matter. The result, the club re
ported to the commission, as follows:
1 Re-adjuatment and correctlone can beat
and most safely be accomplished by a
gradual, evolutionary process, rather then
by a sweeping and summary one.
That at best by whatever corrections
effected or revised system adopted, there
are bound still to be about ao many seem
Ing Inequalities and faults, the result of
much attempted correction being simply to
substitute one set of faults and Inequalities
with another set equally objectionable.
Thst the time la Inopportune for any
material attack on the revenue of the rall
roada In the state, regardless of what may
have been attempted or proposed In other
states; that It Is unfavorable If for no
other reason to the continued maintenance
of prosperous general financial conditions
at thla time.
The letter to the commiaslon was signed
by J. F. Hanson, secretary of the Com
mercial club.
No Rebate ta stockholders.
The fit ate Railway commission has or
dered the IIn wood telephone company to
charge the owners of the property the same
price for telephones that the general public
pays. Heretofore the owners of telephone
stock paid only tl for realdence and $1.28 a
month for business telephones, while non
owners paid 11.25 for residence and $1.75 for
business telephones. Everybody now pays
the higher price.
Stock Train Restored.
The railway commission has received
word that the Burlington la now giving
the people of Atlanta and Funk a dally
service for the shipment of cattle and
stock. Some time ago the road concluded
that a stock train twice a week would
suffice for this part of the system. A big
row waa started by the shippers and the
road came across with Its old time service.
OH Rate Remains.
Because the National Petroleum company
of Cleveland Informed the railway com
mission It Intended to aend a bunch of cars
of oil out to Scott's Bluff and Crawford for
distribution, the commiaslon has turned
down the application of the Burlington to
put back the old oil rate. The railroad
some time ago made application to be per
mitted to put back the rate aa It waa pre
vious to the promulgation of oil ratea by
the commission. The company said the
rate was a paper rate anyhow, and no ship
ping to amount to anything waa done on
the rate.
Proteat on Appraisement.
County Treaaurer Hill of Chase county
protested to the State Board of Educational
Lands and Funds this morning against
the recent appraisement of Chase county
school lands. The new valuation of school
lands ranges from $1 to $4 an acre, while
the old valuation in 1889 was from 15 cents
to 26 cents an acre. The board has re
jected the valuation of school lands In Per
kins county at 67 cents an acre and has
ordered the land reappraised by three free
holders. Governor Sheldon, chairman of the Board
of Educational Lands and Funds, has made
a tabulation which ahows that school lands
In Perklna county are appralaed for lease
purposes lower than school lands In adjoin
ing counties, and also lower than the as
sessed valuation of other lands In that
county. The county commissioners of Per
kins county last fall appralaed all school
Jnda-in. tk countjat 67-oeotsBj -acre.
Thla appraise merit was -rejected by tha
state board as being too low and not In
accordance with the actual value of the
different tracts. Under the existing ap
praisement school land In Perkins county
is appraised at 35 centa an acre for leasing
purposes. A leasee pays 6 per cent of the
appraised value to the state, which, In the
case of Perkins county under tho existing
appraisement, ta S.1 centa per acre. The
average appralaed value of school land In
adjoining counties Is as follows: Chase,
$2.39; Keith, $2.50; Hayes, $3.48 and Lincoln,
$1.6.
The discussion of tha appraisement of
school lands in Perkins county brought up
the matter of atate aid to this county aa
provided for in one of the educational laws
enacted last winter. This law provided for
an appropriation of $50,000 to be given week
counties for the maintenance of publlo
schools and the 1-mlU levy for apportion
ment to the various school districts waa
abolished. Under the new law ' Perkins
county gets $4.61 a year for each pupil,
while In the eastern counties, taking Lan
caster for an example, the state, pays only
$2 a pupil a year out of the semi-annual
disbursements.
Elevator Caae Appealed.
Tha Manley elevator case has been ap
pealed to the United States supreme court
Thla Is the ease where the Manley Inde
pendent Elevator company brought suit
against the Missouri Pacific Railroad com
pany to compel it to construct a sidetrack
to its elevator. The elevator company won
In the district court and last week In the
supreme court.
Crelfhtoa Has State Banal.
Governor Sheldon has given his official
permission to the management of the
Crelghton band to call the same the "Ne
braska 8tate Band." In return for being
recognised as the official band of the state
this musical aggregation has promised to
furnish music on all state occasions. It la
probablo the first duty of the band will
be to go to San Francisco with the gov
ernor and his staff and play at every sta
tion. This will cost the members not to
exceed $300 eaeh. Whether the governor
will call the band down to play at his
reception to members of Ms staff has not
been announced. The band agreed to play
without compensation.

CLUB WOMEN IN BUSINESS
Mrs. 'Dare Lyons la Ralalnsr Chick
en Others Are Praetlc
lST Law.
Some club women. It seems, have tired
of discussing publlo questions and are
turning their attention to business enter
prises. One of the first women to turn
their backs on club life ia Mra Dore Lyon,
former president of the New York City
Federation and an officer In the New York
State Federation, president of the Electric
and a member of nearly every other club
In New York. Mrs. Lyon has gone to rais
ing chickens on her farm at Esopus, ad
joining that of Judge Alton B. Parker.
Mrs. Richard Aldrlch, formerly Miss Mar
garet Chandler, head of the Women's Mu
nicipal league of New York, haa for some
time conducted a model dairy at her sum
mer place at Barrytown-on-the-Hud&on.
She sells the product of the dairy In New
York.
Miaa Mary Garrett Hay and Miss Helen
Varrlck Boswell. both Imptrtant women In
the club world, have become associated for
the purpose of giving women travelers In
formation about hotels, . railroads and
steamships. They will help any woman to
plan a trip either at home or abroad, will
arrange hotel accommodations, as well aa
railroad comforts; will attend to the check
ing of baggage from residence to destina
tion; In short will do everything "to secure
the comfort of the women travelers and
minimise her personal effort In the matter
of traveling, and all without coat to her."
A large number of club women have
studied and become practicing lawyers and
a half score have gone into the real estate
business. One Is telling her sister club
women how to look and keep young, and
It is unnecessary to state she Is kept busy.
Another is earning a nice lutle income by
selling club engagement books to her
friends.

COURT I10USE BONDS TO POLLS
Proposition of Submitting Question
Unanimously Favored by Board.
MAY FIVE FINALLY DECIDED ON
People Snail Say Whether Million
Dollara at Four Per Cent Shalt
Be Toted for Building;
on Present Site.
By a unanimous vote the county board
Tuesday morning passed the resolution
calling for a special election on May 5
to vote on the question of Issuing $1,000,000
4 per cent bonda for a new court house
on the present site. L're, who opposed tho
method of paying off the bonds provided
for in the resolution, voted for It, with
the statement he thought that feature bad,
but he favored the proposition in general
and believed It would carry at the elec
tion. Tho feature to which he objected was
that part providing $00,000 of the bonds
shall become duo In 1917 and $M,000 each
year thereafter for ten yeara, when the
remaining $500,000 will mature. He declared
$50,000 a year waa too much to raise and
he favored beginning the payments six
years after the date of the bonda at the
rate of $30,000 a year for four years and
after that at the rate of $38,000 for ten
years. This plan would retire $500,000
at the end of twenty years, the same as
the other plan, the only change being the
payments would extend over fourteen In
stead of ten years.
Ure announced he would offer an amend
ment embodying hla Idea, but, aa he re
ceived no second, he abandoned the at
tempt to change the resolution and voted
for it.
Text of the Question.

How Those Ilnttened In Rack Mar
Be Mastered Without
Help.

about her neck she slips her arm through
Into, the sleeves, pulls It down at the waist
and by reaching up the back she very

of It doesn't seem as though It could b
accompllHhed, but, as a mater of fact, tho
Inventor of the method declares that It
is Just the easiest thing In tho world.
