L TELEPHONE MEN SEE BOARD Uniform Reports Discussed to Corer All Kindt of Business. DEFECT IN . ANOTHER NEW LAW Lleatenaat Governor's Signaler la Missing from Act Reejalriac Adeqaat Telephone Rervlea at All Depots. (From a Staff Correspondent) LINCOLN, April lt.-(8peclal.) The State Railway commission met today with a number of telephone men to discus a uniform system of reports to be made to the commission. The commission had pre pared tentative report, which waa sub mitted to the telephone men, wbc offered several suggestions for changes. The com mission will shortly Issue an order defining just what shall be contained In the reports. Those present at the meeting were L. EL Hurts of the Lincoln Telephone company; F. E. Ebersols of the Omaha. Independent; C. P. Russell, auditor of the Lincoln com pany; W. C. Bell of the York Independent company; A. 8. Kelley, superintendent of the Nebraska Telephone company ; W.

Coman of Beat rice; P. H. Pollock of Plattsmouth. Some More Incompetency. Another bad bill turned up today. The measure which provided for the railroads to install telephones in their offices and yardes does not contain the signature of the lieutenant governor. This Is consid ered a very Important omission, but It was not caught by the governor or the commit tee on enrolled bills or any member of the late lamented aggregation of job makers. However, the court has held In a former case this cuts no Ice If the record of the bill's passage Is straight. Admits Tbeft of Diamond. Police station third degree work brought an admission from Bert Brown, en erst while resident of . Chicago and now a drifter, that he took the diamond ring of Mrs. Thorn burg from the dresser in her room at 416 South Seventeenth street,! Wednesday morning. Brown was arrested Thursday night, and Friday afternoon he confessed to having stolen the ring. The ring was a small, gold circlet with a brilliant diamond setting. Brown had sold the ring to William Walworth of 616 North Sixteenth street, who sent the ring to the station to have it Identified after he had read the account of the theft. ' Brown was arrested by Officer Creesey. Trouble in Firm. High finance In the management of the American Window Cleaning company, has lead to the disruption of that concern, according to the statement of John Bern stein, on of the . organisers, and he asks the district court to dissolve the partner ship, to decree a division of the property and to allow him damages against the other members of the company for with drawing more than their shares of the profits and withholding the share of ths plaintiff. Charles Grossman, Solomon Zleg er, Max Huraburg, A. Juchoff, are named as defendants In the suit and are said to be co-partners with the plaintiff In the window washing business. A. O. V. W. Meetlnar. The annual . meeting of the grand' lodge of the Ancient Order of United Workmen In thin state, will be held in the Auditor ium in Lincoln, May 11, next. The session will last four days and more than 1,000 members are expected. Six hundred lodges from all parts of the state will send dele gates to the meelng. The four Lincoln lodges have chosen a committee on entertainment and arrange ments. The members of the committee are H. J. Whltmore, P. A. Boehmer, E. Kersch ner, N. Roes. P. IL Matthews, W. A. Peckham. El Hoppe, F. E. Stump, H. C. Peate. H. Mohr. J. A. Mlse and H. N. Bushnell. The general committee has been divided Into subcommittees so that certain members will have charge of the various matters that will be necessary to entertain the big meeting. The committee has been meeting from time to time at the Commer cial club ron. - Hamilton Appeals Case. The county of Hamilton has appealed an Interesting case to the supreme court, after having lost out In its own district court. The county brought suit against Jasper B. Cunningham, county treasurer, tor inter est on county money deposited in banks other than county depositories. It was al leged that the dally balances deposited In these banks amounted to 130,000 on ths aver age and that the treasurer mads no record of having received any interest on ths deposits. Emergency Clans Overworked. It Is barely possible that some one will attack the enforcement of some ol the new lews which carry the emergency clause, when it Is very evident no emer gency existed. The new law relating to the payment of fees by foreign corporations carries an emergency clause. A lot of other laws carry the emergency. Should anyone be arrested for violating a law which carries ths emergency clause when no real emergency existed and the violation was through Ignorance of the existence of the law, attorneys say the accused would have a defense In an attack on the emer gency clause of the law. .

Ha would be ex-Colonel Fanning! Ha! Hal Commander-in-Chief Shallenberger of the state ef Nebraska Is going to taks his colonels those In good standing to ths Senattle exposition. August 17 has been set apart as Nebraska day. Now Nebras ka, through Its legislature, refused to make an appropriation for an exhibit so the gov ernor will take his colonels out to make up for the lack of the exhibit. Under this arrangement there will be nothing to detract frSra the colonels snd all the honor due to Nebraska will be con ferred upon them. Just how Governor Shallenberger will treat Cokmel Fanning on this trip has not been figured out. It Is possible that he will take him along In chains. Colonel Spans, the new recruit, will be taken as ths handsomest product of the rtate, while ths status of Colonel Kuncl. whose democratlo friends requested him to resign. Is yet up in ths air. Adjutant General Hartlgan today made the formal announcement of the contem plated trip. If railroads get up an excur sion the colonels will go on that. Half Minute More Talk Have you ever stopped to consider the changed conditions under which Clothes are sold in Omaha as compared to a year ago? Almost every store is now the largest (?). Almost every store has the best (?) clothes snd you couldn't (?) possibly get a poor suit Almost all you are wanted (?) to do Is to "look" snd the "gusrantee" Is so strong (?) you are hardly expected to keep ( ?) any thing you buy. Showing goods has become a sort of Pink Tea affair. Well, well, we were pretty sure our modern methods would change things but we didn't think It could be done so quickly. Sec trie Windows and Note the Savings Xlic Spring Haberdashery at this store is more than attractive it is irresistible. Neckties like the New York shops display 50c to $1.00 Manhattan Shirts $1.50 up, and E. & W. Shirts at $2.00 up are sure to please men who cater to their shirt-tastes nobby hosiery and per fect fitting underwear. Anything you need is here. Explaining "Resist" Dyes We've been asked to explain the term "Resist" dye. We quote in part from the Apparel Gazette, of May 6, 1908. "The materials, either of wool or worsteds, which are to show the pattern in color or contrast, are treated, either in raw stock, or preferably, In the yank of yarn as fol lows: After being dyed they are boiled for two or three hours In a solution of tannic acid, then wrung out or drained, but with out being; washed, and entered into a bath of 15 per cent antimony salts (some use tartar emetic), in which case the yarn is boiled one or two hours more. It is then well rinsed, and when dried is ready to be woven in the undyed cloth" The woven fabric is then piece-dyed, and the threads so treated "resist" the action of the body dyes. Because he doesn't have to watch for Imperfect yarns the weaver is enabled to run two looms Instead of one. This is the process that is being used to Imitate yarn-dyed fabrics."

In some manner he cannot him self explain, states that he saw Miller last on the elevator. Johnson's hands were severely burned, his hair and eyelashes singed and he was burned about the face. Johnson stated that the fire started In a lot of mattresses, the smoke Immediately becoming so thick that no one could venture Into the building. The fire was still burning at noon, but was confined - to the brick building in which the store wss located. with no present danger of spreading. The loss on stock will be almost com plete, and the loss on the building will be about ene-half. A total estimate places it at 130,000. Miller leaves a wife and six children, the oldest about 16.

Ho put his revolver in his pocket and took a Ian tern and started down town. On his way down he met a bunch of about thirty boys In the street and told them to consider themselves under arrest. About this time Colby gave his lantern a kick, which caused It almost to flicker out; when It flamed up Dillon, who was standing near, noticed that Chatelain was In the act of shooting Colby and struck his arm, which act saved Colby's life, as the bullet barely missed him. Dillon then grabbed Chatelaln's arms snd In the strug gle, Chatelain shot Dillon in the leg.

"I was ons of the kind who wouldn't be Iteva that coffee was hurting me," says a N. T. woman. "You Just couldn't convince me Its use was connected with the heart and stomach trouble I suffered from most of the time. "My trouble finally got so bad I had to live on milk and toast almost entirely for three or four yeara. Still I loved the coffee and wouldn't believe it could do auch dam age. "What I needed waa to quit coffee and take nourishment In such form as my stom ach could digest. "I had read much about Post urn, but never thought It would fit my case until one day I decided to Quit coffee and give it a trial and make sure about it So 1 got a package and carefully followed the di rections. "Soon I began to get better and was able to eat carefully selected foods without the sld ot pepaln or other dlgeatants and it was not long before I was really a new woman physically. "Now I am healthy and sound, can eat anything and everything that comes along and I know this wonderful change Is all due to my having quit coffee and got the nourishment I needed through this dell clous Postum. "My wonder Is why everyone don't give up the old coffee and the troubles that gu with it and build themselves up as I have done, with Postum."

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., April 16. (Special) Lccal police officers bave not. for a long time, run across a more smoothly planned out scheme for touching the banks than that alleged to have been worked out by one Carl H. Peterson, alias C. H., Paddock, row held here on the charge of forging a telegraphic order on the First National Bank of Wood RlveT. , On February 17 the bank cashed a tele graphic order for KO to the man Peteraon, as alleged, only to ascertain that the bank in South Dakota had not sent the telegram delivered by the Western Union ageut at Wood River. The officials kept the matter quiet and engaged In a still hunt, which led to the arrest yesterday, at Waverly, of Peterson. An officer of the bank has come to the county seat and Identified Peterson as ths .identical chap who secured the money. It Is related that Peterson is a telegraph operator. That he went to Alda, a small station seven miles west of here and eight miles east of Wood River, watched for an opportunity when the agent of the railway company was out on other duties, slipped In, took the key and sent the telegram to Wood River. Then he walked to Wood River, atopping on the way at a farm home to which a 'phone wire ran, and calling up the bank. He stated that he expected a telegraphic order for SoO from South Dakota, and might arrive In Wood River a little late would they wait a few minutes for him. If he should be delayed. It would only be a few minutes. Then Peterson showed up approximately at closing time, secured the money and left. He had disappeared when the bank ascertained that the order was. In some manner, fraudulent Peterson has not acknowledged guilt, but the local of ficers believe he will "come through," committee has called the committee to meet Tusday, April 27, at 8 o'clock at the headquarters in Lincoln. The meeting Is for the purpose of dis curslng the coming campaign and the nomi nation of candidates.
