C. 8. Elguttor has secured a ruling: from
the Interstate Commerce commission
which permits th Northwestern railroad
to make a refund on several carloads of
lumber for which they overcharged the
Diets Lumber company and which also
shows that South Dakota is enjjoylng
gTeatly reduced freight rates because of
the passage two years ago by the Ne
braska legislature of the Aldrlch carload
freight bill, which reduced freight rates In
Nebraska 15 per ceht.

could have tho same rate as to Herrick
which was 19-5 cents.
On the day the lumber was shipped the
railroads published a rate of 17 cents to
Gregory and Herrick. tho Aldrlch bill tak
ing affect that day. When the railroad
company collected on the lumber It
charged "4 cents, or the old Herrick rate,
plus the local to Gregory. The commis
sion Insisted that It could not grant the
rate of 19.5 cents, as that rate had never
been published, though It saw the Injustice
of the higher rate. A special ruling was
made In the case that the railroad would
be permitted to refund the difference be
tween -4 cents and 19.t cents.

Married, but
Not Telling It
Jefferson, la., Couple Little Worried
Over the Legal Status of
Their Union.
Mahlon Head and Fern Wood of Jeffer
son, la., were married In Omaha, April 12,
by Justice Altstadt, but according to a
letter received In Omalii Friday they are
not exactly boasting about It; rather are
they denying it.
Head was divorced a short time ago by
his wife whom he deserted as well as three
young children. By the terms of the
decree granted Mrs. Head he was forbidden
to remarry within six months and an Iowa
statute forbids It anyhow for a year.
Whether he has come within the statute
or Is In contempt of the Jefferson court
Is a question, for his second marriage has
taken place outside the jurisdiction of Iowa.
The point is believed to be a new one.

States Set Aside
Money for the
Corn Exposition
Nebraska Takes the Lead and May
Be Followed by Siiter Com
monwealths. Nebraska people think enough of the
National Corn exposition to appropriate
public money to make it a success, the al
lowance of $1,000 made by the regents of
the University of Nebraska Thursday, mak
ing $2,000 which the state invests directly
or Indirectly In the coming show at Omaha.
The legislature appropriated $1,000 for
the Corn Growera' association, which will
assist In the holding of county contests
and a state show. The success of these
Insures the success of the National Corn
exposition.
Then the .regents appropriated $1,000 for
an educational exhibit of the experiment
stations and the school of agriculture at
the national show.
This Investment of $2,000 by no means
represents what the Nebraska exhibits will
cost, but the $2,000 of public money Is more
than any other state In the United States
has yet appropriated for the National Corn
exposition.
Missouri Is seriously considering appro
priating a large sum for an exhibit at the
Omaha exposition, while North Dakota's
commissioner of agriculture has the power
to spend $1,000 or more for bringing exhibits
from his state to Omaha. It Is thought he
will send a large exhibit, as Governor
Burke has interested himself In the ex
position. GREAT WORK OF GILA DAM

STREET RAILWAY WINS CASE,
BUT AFTER A BAD SCARE
Jnry Is Ont Xearly All Mht and
the Company Feared a '
Compromise.
A verdict for the defendant was regis
tered Friday morning by the Jury which
heard the suit of Mrs. Lilly Turner for
$5,000 against the Omaha and Council Bluffs
Street Railway company.
The Jury debated a long time before it
reached its conclusion, having been out all
Thursday afternoon and until 1:30 Friday
morning. The defense was consequently
somewhat concerned lest a compromise had
been reached.
Mrs. Turner's suit was tried first a year
ago before Judge Troup, Judge Kennedy
hearing the action Just over. In the first
trial a similar verdict was reached, but
Judge Troup, fearing lest an Instruction
had been misapprehended, himself ordered
a new trial.
General Cowln and Weaver & Giller had
the plaintiffs case, with W. J. Connell de
fending. Mrs. Turner's accident occurred at
Twenty-third and Cuming streets. The
plaintiff version was that she was thrown
off in attempting to leave the car, while
the defense asserted that she ' fell off
through her own negligence.
