BOARD NOT DEFYING THE COURT Attorney General Denlee Story That Injanrtlon In PiifrfH Case, if Isaned hy Federal Court, Weald Be Ignored. (From a Btaff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. April 18. (Special.) The state bureau of statistics has just finished a compilation of mortgage statistics fur the years 1906-7. Farm mortgages filed during 190 numbered 17,461, but during 1907 the number fell to 16,131. The total amount rep resented by the farm mortgages filed 'in 1906 was $44,003,848.79. while for 1907 the amount totals 135,322,577.99. In both years the number released exceeded Ihe number filed, releases In 1906 being 19,632, and In 1907 17,538. The amount of money represented by re leases In 114 was i6.8! 1.51J.31, while in 1907 the total released was I125.639.512.S0. Tills latter figure, however, .Includes a re lease ota L'nion' Pacific Instrument in Hall county representing $100,000,000. It will' thus be seen that the proportion of releases in the two years is practically the same. Custer county leads In number of farm mortgages filed In both years, and In 1906 the amount involved In that county was 110.111.050.92, which simply means, accord ing to Commissioner Ryder, that there was a, tradlngln real estate and a development In that county probably unprecedented any where n the state In recent years. Many large ranches were changing hands, and to day there are: a great many mora smaller farms In Custer county. That county also hows the greatest number of releases of farm mortgages In. the two years, 890 in 1906 snd 6J3 in 1907. It has been a case, Mr. Ryder thinks, where small loans have been cleaned up and larger indebtedness assumed for the purchase of more land. "The people out there, as well as investors, have al most unbounded confldenre In the future of their section. This is true of about all the western counties, since the people are be ginning to realise that they have land worth holding on to. and prospects In the near future greater than they dared hope for a few years ago. In fact, It is my opin ion that there is a hustling and a practical bunch of people In western Nebraska who are now fully awake to the immense pos sibilities of what they have In their con trol. They are going to hold on, and out aide of a very small area land in that sec tion will never he had for a song or a team of mult s again." Insnrnnee Case Postponed. The two Pacific coast companies which ought a restraining order against the auditor to prevent him from Inteffcrlng with their agents in this state will make their showing Way 4. to. which date the bearing was continued this afternoon be cause the state auditor was out of the city. Until that time the two companies may do business In Nebraska without taking a risk of violating the law. Another Phase of Primary Law. The question of the r;g!it of a county clerk to refuse to place on the official ballot at the November election the names of candidates which have been written on the primary ballot, though no lines were left for this purpose, is to be de cided by the supreme court. The case comes up from Dakota county, where the district judge Issued a mandamus to compel the county clerk to put the names on the ballot, holding aiso that blank lines must be left "on the primary ballot for writing in names wnere no nomina tions have oven made. The dcmocraltlc party had no candidates at the primary except for sheriff and for superintendent. The names of other parties to complete the ticket were written in. but the county clerk refused to place them on the No vember ballot until ordered to do so by the court. He appealed the case. Jaat Hpar filler. The sensational story published in the Lincoln papers yesterday that the State Railway commission and the attorney general would go to jail be fore obeying any order of the federal court tending to enjoin them from enforcing the bib ley, law. does not apply to the legal de partment, but Is hot air purs and simple. According to the attorney . general the legal department of the state will obey any order Issued In a lawful manner by either the state or the federal court. The story published, Mr. Thompson said, will tend to place the state In a bad light, he aid. and there wai no Justification for tt. "The legal department has not deried nny coMrt." said Mr. Thompson, "and It does not intend to go before the court In any such attitude. If the supreme court or the federal court Issues any or der this department will obey that or der." . Mr. Thompson and members of the Hall way commission expect to win another victory' In the federal court Saturday for the reason the federal court itself ha already remanded the express cases and lias held the state has Jurisdiction and Is proceeding under that Jurisdiction. No one . believes there will be any occasion for a grand stand play about going to Jail. Pos't All Speak at One. Oertrud A. Wells, stenographer em ployed by the Stat Railway commission.

The report that Governor Sheldon was suffering severe pains in his right arm as a result of pitching the first ball in the Sioux f'lty-Llncoln game yesterday Is not true. Tho governor has suffered no serious results from that act physically though the poor exhibition he put up as a pitcher Is still the talk of the state house, and will be as long as the executive allows himself to bo seen. The crowd Insisted that tho governor take off his coat when he threw that ball yesterday, but the executive de clined, giving as a reason this morning, he knew about where the bull would land that Is he had a general idea that It would hit somewhere betwen first base and home, and for that reason he kept on his coat, and the coat Is to blanio for it all. It was the first ball the governor had pitched since 1887. though he participated In a game at Havelock last summer where the age limit was 6 years. Crete Sets Rood Example. "There is so much grief aaid disappoint ment connected with the fire escape end of this bureau that when an encouraging Incident comes my way I feel like record ing It in the hope that it may M emulated," said Labor Commissioner Ryder. "As a general rule, the most eligible and the most useful place for a fire escape is on the front of a building, especially if the struc ture Is of old construction. But owners insist on hiding their fire escapes, and not orly that, they will not put up proper signs Indicating where the escapes are with out continual jacking up. Very often the cost of escapes in the right place would be less than the cost of the hidden ladders or stairways, but that fact Is lost sight of In the strange desire to give the public the Impression that the building does not need and has not got eny fire escape. "At Crete yesterday I found a different and much more commendable disposition. The trustees of Doane college had planned to put three escapes on Gaylord hall, on tho rear walls of the three wings. After goirg over the building with me they con cluded that It would be much better to put the escapes on the front of the building. In the locations that presented themselves as most likely to serve the larger number of students in the shortest space of time in case of emergency. This decision not only means a substantial saving In money, but It also means that there will be created a confidence among students and parents that is worth as much as the presence of the escapes themselves. "The Board of Education at Crete had a difficult proposition to face snd one tint means a large expense, but the members are meeting It In a thoroughly business lik3 way. Their plans provide for cutting away of window ledges wherever necessary so that the platforms of their escapes will all be on a level with the floors of the rooms, with exits to the escapes that will be real exits. When the Crete school equipment of fire escapes Is in place It will, in my Judgment, be fit to serve as a model for any Board of Education to follow. For the wholesome effect their action must have on other men who are entrusted with the safety of schools 'the Crete men deserve to be complimented most highly, and this should Include the superintendent. Prof. Gregory, who has been most progressive In his ideas." y W. C. T. I'. Institute. HUMBOLDT. Neb., April 16. (Special.) The attendance of delegates at the Women's Christian Temperance Union in stitute Increased with tell second day and good sized crowds greeted each session. After the devotional exercises and musical numbers a paper on "Missions" was read by Mrs. Knowles of Pawnee. Mrs. Lydla K. Andrews of Table Rock, gave a fine reading, after which came the question box, and a discussion of the problem, "The best way to keep our boys from using tobacco." The question of whether or not we re benefitted by our Institutions was answered by many In the affirmative. "Old Soapy" was the title of a recitation by Mrs. Bedea of Pawnee. Mrs.- Neshit of Pawnee City gave an interesting talk and In closing extended an invitation for the Institute to meet at her home town negt time, which invitation was unanimously accepted. The evening session consisted of an elo cutionary medal contest at the church, par ticipated in by five contestants from differ ent parts of the district, and witnessed by a large crowd from this city and sur rounding country. The session was pre sided over by Mrs. Manger of Kails City, while devotional aerciscs preceded and a Mood's SarsapaHlla The Economy of It "ONE HUNDRED -DOSES ONE DOLLAR" The Success that has been won by Hood's Sarsaparilla is well known. It is the standard remedy of the world for all blood diseases, humors and eruptions; and as a general tonic, appetite-restorer and kidney and liver specific, we doubt if its equal has ever been made. But there is no feature of Hood's Sarsaparilla of which we are more proud th an we are of i,ts practical economy. A Bottle of Hood's Barsaparilla contains 100 doses, and will average to last a month, while other prescriptions and medicines will lat but a week or fortnight. Thus the argument for the great economy of Hood's. Srrsa parilla is unanswerable. As a Spring Medicine just now it is the best medicine you can pos sibly take. This is a strong statement, but we can prove it a thousand times ow. It is perfectly safe, puregenuine and reliable. musical selection hy Mrs. Aydelott were Interspersed with the readings.
