April .-Bpeelal.)-The resignation of Colonel Charles K Fanning bas been received by Commander-in-Chief Shallenberger of the Nebraska militia. It haa not yet been accepted and it (a prob able Colonel Fanning will be refused an honorable discharge. Instead, he la liable to be court-martialed and. drummed out of camp If not aent to the military prison for a number of campaigns. The colonel tendered hla resignation whan hla chief waa under frre and in grave' danger and for that reaaon It has been held by military authorities he 1s not entitled to an honorable discharge. He qun etnen me enemy vu cnargtng. hj quit wnvn inr vmer neeoen strong tnenda to pull him out of the hole into which he put hlmaelf. To quit and take up arma against his own commander la considered high treason and the governor's friends have urged him to call a court-martial to Investigate the reasons for . the resignation 'of Colonel Fanning. It Is possible the colonel was afraid to face the enemies the governor haa made and If that la true the charge against him will be cowardice. Esperlmeat with Sugar Beets. Nebraska will very shortly begin to ex periment with sugar beets, the Board of Public Lands and Buildings at the earnest solicitation of Governor Shallenbergpr hav ing signed a contract to cultivate 100 actea of beets, to be aold to a contracting firm. Tha state will be out about $300 for the seed to start with. The governor antic ipated It would require about eighteen convicts to attend to the cultivation of tho beets, On psper the governor has figured an Immense profit to the state. Warden Smith, however. Is very much op posed to the experiment and he la satis fied the state will lose money. In the first place private parties have failed to make money out of the sugar beet business and several factories in Nebraska havA been shut down. The convicts, members of the board believe, are not capable of work ing the beeta successfully and believe that there are too many risks for the state to enter Into the business. But the governor Insisted and got his way. The seeds will be sown next month. ' fleward Roads Mlsalag.

No More Commlasloa. ebraaka has no supreme court commis sion. For the first time in many years the supreme court has met without the commission tall attached. The appropria tion to pay the '. commissioners expired April I and this1 week the commission failed to pit. Wher the amendment was adopted by the people at tho last elec tion enlarging the court, and Governor Sheldon had made hla appoint monts, the new Judges concluded to continue the com mission as long as the money lasted In order that it could complete the work It had on hand. The money held out until April 1. This was the first session of the court since that time. Mmcoln City Polities. The contests between republican candi dates for city nomination are few and far between. Don Love and A. H. Hutton are both willing- to aerve as a candidate for mayor and W. A. Hawes and Roscoe E. Oxm&n are willing; to carry the standard to tha front for city clerk. The primary which will be held April 15 la to be strictly a family affair without any law to regulate It, but it will be car ried "out. under the direction of the city committee. This primary la the result of the failure of the charter tlnkerera to set the legislature to paaa a charter bill. In their enthusiasm over the charter bill, which they thought would pass the regular city primary waa passed over without a thought. So the committee will auperlntend a primary. The democrats have no candidates out ao far and moat of the members of the party are Insisting that Mayor Brown again try his hand at vote getting, and the mayor Is JUBt as earnestly holding out that he doea not want to run. J. C. liarpham and l G. Powell, at pres ent members of the excise board, have filed as republican candidates for re-election. Go After Dellaajaeata.

Mr. Berry declares thst he will clean up all the delinquent taxea that are collecible before he goea out of office. The total amount of the delinquent taxea now on the books amounts to only about $50,000 and ia owed by several hundred tax payers. A large number of the delinquents owe for aasessmenta of less than fl. All the delinquents are to he Investigated and all those that appear to possess property will be proceded against even it the amount of the tax ia small. The costs of the dis tress proceeding have to be borne by the delinquent taxpayer, ao fie officers will proceed In every case where they consider that the party Is good for the amount of the tax and coats. The delinquent taxea in real eatate were wiped out laat fall by the sale of a large amount of property. The amount of the delinquent taxes Is now the smallest It has been In the county ofr yeara and the pe-centage of unpaid taxea in the state. Mr. Berry wants to clean up the book entirely before the end of his term this year. alt Aaalast Tractlaa.

Train Not Under Complete Control Verdict of Board Making Inquiry Into Break on Union Pacific at Fremont. FREMONT, Neb.. April 9. (Special.) Blame for the wreck of trains No. i0 and second No. 10 at Fremont is fixed by the board called to investigate by the Union Pacific upon Engineer Shepard in not having his train under control. The re port in full la as follows: Board of Inquiry, consisting of Rev. W. II. Buss. pastor First Congregational church, Fremont; K. R. Gurney, vice pres ident First National bank, Fremont: W. R. I'aliill. assistant superintendent Union Pacific Railroad company; J J J. Koliher, dtHtrlct foreman Union Pacific Railroad company, and Charles Ware, superin tendent Union Pacific Railroad company, has thoroughly investiKated on the K round at Fremont the matter of train No. 62 striking the rear end of train wecond 10 at Fremont about 11:30 p. m , April , and finds that the Union Pa cific Railroad company has protected the Fremont yard by placing a yard limit board about one mile west of the passen ger depot and another yard limit boj-d about one mile east of the passenger de pot, and the rules of the railroad com pany require trains to move between theee two yard limit boards under full control, prepared to stop within a dis tance that the track ia seen to be clear, and we find that all employes connected with thla accident understand these rules and the necessity of complying therewith. WWe further find that the caboose of second lu waa properly protected by four red lighta displayed on the rear end of same, namely, one cupola light on the top of the caboose, one red light on each side near the roof and the fourth red light on the platform. These lights were visible to the engineer on train No. f- at a distance of 1.1:12 feet. We made a test today with a fgrolght train consisting of the same number of cata and pulled by the same class of en gine that was on train No. Si and a stop was made in a diatance of 214 feet at a a peed of ppproximalely leu miles per hour, the speed at which No. 62 waa run ning at the time Engineer Hhepard claim that he obaerved the cabooae of aecon-l 10 and made emergency application of t I air. It la our decision that the accident was entirely due to the failure of Engineer Shepard to have his train under control between the yard limit boards aa je quired by the rules of the railroad company.
