LINCOLN. June 13 i Special, i Warden
Beemer has a plmi for the construction
ef call at th stste penlnf lary which he
rallevea wtr! be better thao th present
cella In which two prisoner, ar kept. Th
. warden would have cells hi which five
Vrlaoaers cnuld be housed comfortably. In
the opinion of flie wir)n It will not be
Vine; before sdditlnnal cells will have to he
. constructed and he wllf recommend that
laraer cella be metalled. Hla araumep.t la
jthat It will not only ha to the beat Interest
nf the prisoners, but it will aave money
j for the state.
"After earful consideration," said the
1 warden. "I have come to the conclusion
that etla In which two prlsonera are con
fined la not satisfactory. In time w will
hav to have another tier of cells, as our
present eella were built for one prisoner
' amy. I hava studied the matter careful'y
and X believe the ceUa should be large
enough for fire prlsonere. The bunks could
. be arranged around tha walls and a center
, table, and one electric light provided for
each cell. Admission to these cella of
course; would be recognition of. good be
havior and the warden would have to use
' care In making the eelectiona. The good
prlaonera could be put In with some of the
younger onea and teach them and help
them In many ways to become better fitted
for rltixenahlp aftT their release. Mm-t
people who hava studied the question are
not satisfied with having two prisoners In
; a cell. 'We have six single cells now not
connected with the sewer end these ceils
ara not used. They could be sold for more
money than they cost and new cella put in
their , place large enough to house five
prlaonera. I hail recommend to fhe? next
prison association the endorsement of the
' large cell proposition.
Fee frm Railway roaamluloa,
While tha State Railway commission has
been . figuring on freight ratee and doing
ether things, it has also contributed to the
atate I1.5&1U and has on Ita books uncol
lected, but good. I2M.3 due for transcripts j
of evidence In hearlnga before the commia-
alon. To get the transcripts the commission
has bad to pay out in extra help and for

aeveral parties. Including the stenographer

J. A. Williams, railway commissioner, has
received information from South Dakota
that hla brother. R. H. Williams, had re

Tha State Railway commission la about
ready to decide the case where the York
Commercial club filed an application to
compel tha Burlinsrton and Northwestern
ratlroada to furnish a transfer track and
also to furnish track scales. It la a aafe
guess to say the Commercial club will win
out. at least in one of Its cases that cf
".ha switch. In the mat er cf ihe track scales
it is likely the commission will decide in
favor of tha roalroads. One decision bos al-

will announce the decisions the first of

To the Republicans of Nebraska: In re
sponse to the petition from Platte county
republicans asking that my name be placed
on tha primary ballot aa a candidate for
railway commissioner. I hereby make
formal announcement of my candidacy.
, subject to the will of the republican voters
af Nebraska at the coming primary el"c

; acknowledge Jny sincere gratitude to the

't ability to assume the important duties of
thia responsible office. Especially gratify-
Ing Ig thia petition because it containa the
names of those republicans who have dona
much toward establishing the "square
deal" In republican pollttca in thia atate. I
wish also to express my dec-p appreciation
tf the kind words of brother editors in sup
. port of my candidacy.
I believe that much has been accom
pllsltyl by the present commission In be
half . the people of thia atate and that a
basis has been laid for much greater ac
complishment in tha future. I be!, eve that
. tha commission, in the exercise of its legal
and constitutional supervision over the
i common carriers of this state should stand
inflexibly for the enforcement of every
power with which it is clothed, having In
mind always the securing of exact Justice
llffce to the people and the carriers.
It haa already been established that ovr
railway eammlsalon has the power and au
thorlty to fix and establish rates. The
reaponaibllity imposed, therefore, upon the
commission la great and of far-reaching
Importance. In order to exercise the Im
portant functlona Imposed I am fully aware
. that the most careful and r"inslaklng in

to the end that stock watering may be pre
vented and ratea be adjusted upon thba1e
of actual physical valuation. Nor do I be
lieve that a atraightforward and vlgoroua
exercise of this authority can injure honest

vest their capital and expend their energlea
In public aervice enterprises are entitled to
fair and remunerative profits. Indeed, the
great agencies of transportation cannot be
Injured without Impairing production. The
Interests of the railroads and the producers
are necessarily Identical in the long run.
But the Interest of all the people la greater
than that of any one class and the public
la entitled to rates based upon an honest
valuation of stock, free from the elements
of speculation and gambling. ,

Th uniqu old English Invitation Bent
out to the patrons of Saunders school at
Forty-first avenu and Cass street, for the
entertainment given by the school Satur
day afternoon, may have had much to do
with the very large attendance which taxod
the capac;.- of the main floor corridor of
th school to th utmost. "A Midsummer
Night". Dream" was presented.
Th north end of th corridor rn trans
formed Into a atage, presenting a wood
scene, with an abundance of natural foliage
and flower. The performera wer all
members of the school, and th play waa
remarkably well produced. Th play waa
costumed with artistic fidelity, and the
beauty and youth of the performera made
th production a moat delightful on. All
of th leading characlera performed their
roles with real artistic ability, aeveral of
which were exceptionally good. To spe
cialise would do injustice to some, and suf
fice b It to say that th play would have
been a credit to professtonala.
The play haa been In rehearsal since last
fall at such intervals as th children could
find the time, and the production, aa a
whole, showed th results of the painstak
ing industry of the teachers and Principal
Mlsa Mary A. Reld in a marked degree.
There waa not a hitch nor a flaw during
th entire performance, nor waa there any
tiresome walta, that ar so common to am
ateur performancea. Frequent applause at
tested the appreciation of the audience, of
which the non-partii-lpating membera of
the school with their parents and friends
constituted tha greater part.

"Th habit of grating a lemon correctly
Is easily learned when one one', attention
Ib called to tha matter. The grating should
begin at th end of th lemon and aa amall
a surface of the grater ahould b used aa
