(From a Staff Correspondent )
LINCOLN, Aug. lS.-(9peclal.)-Evldence
waa taken today In the case brought by
the atate to mak permanent it temporary
Injunction Issued against the Wells-Fargo
Express company to prevent that company
from violating the Blhley 25 per cent re
duction law. Attorney General Thompson
appeared for the atate and Ralph Breckin
ridge of Omaha for the express company.
IT. O. Powell, rate clerk In the office of
the Hallway commission, and L. E. Wetl
rg were examined as witnesses. Mr. Pow
l rll testified aa an expert, giving a com
pilation of the records In his office to show
the earnings of the company since the Sib
ley law became operative. He showed first
that In apportioning the earnings on Inter
state business to the state, the express
company charged up to Nebraska the total
expense and gave to the state only a por
tion of the earnings. For Instance, If a
package upon which the charges were 110
were shipped from Fairfield to a point out
Ride of the state, the agent would get tl
for his work, and this Jl would be charged
in Ihm KehrsMkn revenue, when, as a mat
ter of fact, Nebraska's part of the Income
may not be more than the . He insisted
that If the revenues accredited to Nebraska
Is only tl, then the amount charged to ex
pense In Nebraska should be only 10 cents,
or one-tenth of. the Income on the ship
ment. The revenue of the company for state and
Interstate business credited to Nebraska, he
T testified, for three months, April, May and
June, amounted to $41,907.46 for 1907, and for
1908 (44,269.88, or an Increase In business in
those three months of .$2,362.42. For July,
1907, the revenue amounted to $14,406.44 and
expenses to $1,748.47. For July, 1908, the
f revenue amounted to $17,154.99 and the ex
I fienscs to $2,057.62. The Income Increased,
therefore, 16. per cent and the expenses of
the company 7.2 under the operation of the
Sibley law.
Attorney eGneral W. T. Thompson today
filed a motion with the clerk of the supreme
court asking for judgment against the
Adams Express company lr.. the suit for a
perpetual Injunction , to pr nt the viola
tion of the Blhley law. wli.i cut rates 25
per cent. In his motion, lie asked the
referee and the court to rule that the evi
dence introduced by tho defendant company
Is Insufficient to constitute a defense.
Kiprem Revenues Increase.
While the law fathered by Senator Sibley
of Lincoln county reducing express charges
25 per cent was bitterly fought by the ex
press companies, its operation not only
saved the people of the state lots of morjey,
but It lias also resulted in Increased busi
ness for the express companies. The re
ports on file In the office of the. railway
commission show that the business of 'the
1 Pacific Express company increased during
April, May and June, 19C8, over the same
months In 1907 15 per cent. The Increase in
expenses amounted to only 6 per cent. The
revenues of the Wella-Fargo Express cbm
pany Increased 16 per cent and Its expenses
Increased only 7.2 per cent. The business
of all the express Companies increased 11
Ier cert during 'the .months oft. April, May
and June, 19t, over 1907. This is , taken as
evidence that the express companies had
no reason to discharge employes and reduut
their wages by reason of republican legisla
tion.

A big republican rally Is to be held at
. Aurora August 29. Senator Brown, Speaker

Lindner Make HI Catch.
Hsrry Lindsay has two hands, but there
Is very little meat on either. A fish did
It. Rather, a whale. The whale of a fish
will shortly be on exhibit In the office of
Mr. Lindsay to prove It.
Mr. Llndray has just returned from a
fishing trip up In Minnesota. One day
while fishing In the lake, he snared a
whopper. After struggling with the beast
for an hour and a half he got In close
enough to the boat for the guide to shoot
at It. The ball struck the fish In the head
and only dazed it. In hla struggle the
hook slipped loose. The boat was rowed
back close to the struggling fish and Lind
say rammed one arm In his open gill and
the other down Mr. Fish's mouth. In
this way he landed the fellow in the bot
tom of the boat and to hold him there,
kept his hand hold and lay down on the
fish. In the meantime Mr. Fish was doing
some tall biting. His teeth went clear
through the index finger on one hand and
gashed and cut his hands and arm. Upon
landing the big fellow, Mrs. Lindsay, seeing
her husband's bleeding arm. said:
"Why did you do that? He might have
cut your arm off.".
"Yes, I know It,-' replied the fisherman
"I could get a wooden arm, but I never
could get another fish like this." The fish
weighed thirty-two pounds and was over
four feet In length. Mr. Lindsay is hav
ing It inounted.
