(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Aug. 4. (Special.) Attorney
General Thompson filed suit In the county
court f Lancaster county this afternoon
against th American Surety company for
failure to comply with the Junkln anti
truat law, enacted by the legislature of
rwi.
The specific complaint Is that the com
pany as failed to file an annual report
alth th attorney general aa provided In
the law, and it ha also failed to file an
undertaking mlU the aittorney general,
aylng tht it mill comply wltll the pro
vlatons of tha Junkln act and all other
lawn governing such companies.
The penalty for failure to comnty with
the law la a fine of 15.000 or Imprisonment
for one year or both:
The law applies to all foreign corpora
tlona except common carriers. Not one
corporation has ever filed the reports and
all are subject to the same prosecution as
that hlch has Just been started.
Attorney CJcncral Thompson has con
templated this action for some time, but
the matter was precipitated by the action
of the American Surety company in seek
ing an Injunction against the atate bond
ing board and the rates It proposes surety
companies may charge.

' tlon of railroad property by the state

New Normal Board Basy.
Th new normal board, though it ia un

' ministration building at the Peru normal
school, and it Is also running an advertlse-
i meat for bids for coal for the schools. The

, In th suit brought by th attorney general
; to oust Colonel Majors from the new State
Normal board because h waa appointed
J heo a member of th legislature which

stltutlonallty of the law first, and then

Connty Exhibit at Stat Fair.
About 4,000 la offered In premiums at
the coming Nebraska State fair, September
6 to 10. for agricultural product. These
are usually shown In county collective ex
hibtts and are valuable advertisements for
a county. In many of the live, progressive
counties the commissioners or Board of
Supervisors makes an appropriation for an
exhibit representing that county at the
s.aie lair, and the result Is that the county
doing this is the one which attracts Uic
attention of the prospective settler to a
much larger degree than those which do r.ot
believe in advertising. Among the counties
that have already mad6 entries are:

CRAWFORD. Neb.. Aug. 4 ( Special.)
Walter Berger, the 18-year-old farmer lad
who Is In Jail here In connection with the
attempted wrecking of the Burlington
train near this place, according to officials
has confessed. He now tells the of
ficers that he alone did all 'he work of
piling i ails on the track which might t.ave
put the heavy Burlington train Into the
ditch. He says that he alone Is impll
cated and that the story he toid yesterday
about being bound to tfie fence by two
masked robbers while they piled the rails
that he might get aboard for Alliance to
receive medical treatment. Thta last part
of the story is not believed by the offl
cers nor by the railroad officials.
Berger at first told a thrilling story of
being tied to the fence by the two masked
bandits, who threatened to shoot if he
moved. He told of a scuffle with them
after he bad worked himself free from his
bunds. His former story was that after
h ran from the bandits they shot and
hit his little finger.
It Is not believed that his last story of
doing all the work himself Is the true on,
as he does not bear the best kind of a
reputation. Some red paper was found
nailed to a post at which he had been prac
ticing target shooting. This paper has
been traced to Berger, as It was wrapped
around a new shtrt, which he had bought
a couple of nights before at Marahand.

BONDED DEBT OF CITY
WILL BE CUT THIS FALL
Redared Fifty Thonssknfl Dollars, aa
More Than That Mill Be In
Sinking Fnnd.
Omaha's obnded Indebtedness will be de
creased this fall by 160,000.
City Comptroller Ixjbeck haa notified the
finance committee of the city council that
there will be a balance of more than this
amount In the sinking fund and that
bonds In th sum of SoO.OOO may be paid off
without crippling the city's finances In
any way.
City hall bonds in the sum of tlOO.ooo
come due October 1, and one-half of this
issue will be taken up. The other $50,000
will be renewed. The old bonds bear 6
per cent Interest, but the comptroller be
lieves that 44 per cent for renewal pur
poses will find easy sal.
City hall bonds were issued In the sum
of IfiOO.OOO. Last year $28,000 was paid and
with the paying of $50,000 this fall only
$426,000 will remain.
City hall bonds are the only bonds that
come due this year. In July, 1910. bonds In
the sum of $276,000 will come due. These are
In four issues-flOO.OUO city hall, $75,000 pav
ing, $50,000 sewer and $50,000 engine house.
In June, 1911, $100,000 city hall bonds come
due, the on) bonds coming due In that
year.
Although the estimated tax levy for
Douglas county for this year is 16 mills,
one half mill higher than last ear. County
Comptroller Solomon thinks It probablo
the state levy will be one-half mill lower
and the total will be about the same.
The reduction In th aiate levy ia due
to the payment of tne st&ie aebt, which
ha now Been completed. Since the enact
ment of the Sheldon act In 1903 It has been
necessary to levy 1 mill toward the pay
ment of the debt, but with the debt fi
nally removed It la very likely that the
other Increases will still leave a total
H mill lower.
The increase In Douglas county Is dus
to the bond-sinking fund which must be
kept up to build the new court house.
Beside this $15S,000 will have to be paid
on S per cent funding bonds which fall
due July 1. 1911.
As estimated by Comptroller Solomon
the Douglas county levy will be as fol
low on a valuation of $36,000,000. Eighty
five per cent of the total Is taken because
the warrants for payment can be drawn
on only 65 per cent of the levy until the
money Is actually In the treasury;

MULTIPLICITY OF AUTOS
SENDS RUBBER PRICES UP
Creates Immense Demand for Tire Ma
terial and Prices Adranre by
Leap and flonnda.
Tou can get any old price for your old
rubbers, according to the dealers, who say
there Is a great demand for all kind of
rubber goods.
"Rubber prices are soaring, although tht
wearers of rubber goods have not felt the
rise," said Z. T. Lindsay, president of the
Interstate Rubber company. "Two weeks
ago up river rubber was worth $1.72 a
pound and last week this same rubber was
worth $1.92. No raise has been made In the
cost to the consumers or to the retailers
since May 1, when the prices were ad
vanced 5 per cent. Salesmen ate now out
taking ordera for fall delivery at the regu
lar prices with no advance."
The high price of crude rubber has caused
an Increased demsnd for scrap rubber and
the prices quoted at the mills Is about
10 cents a pound. The soaring prices for
crude rubber Is putting the retailers In the
market early and trade is most brisk.
Trade Journals report that no raise has
been made In the price to retailers, but
sporting goods houses, makers of automo
bile tires and users of rubber In all lines
of manufacture are buying fast. It Is. said
that the Imperative demand of tire manu
facturers for rubber Is the main thing
Which is forcing up the price of rubber.

Mrs. Anna Weise, who has lived for
thirty yearg on R. F. D. No. 2, South
Omaha, hag been sufferlg with paralysis
over two years. Last September she lost
the use of her feet and was unable to get
around at all. She haa been treating with
the Austro-American Doctors two months.
Her daughter, Miss Mae Wiese, states that
her mother Is now able to get around
nicely without the use of crutches. They
feel very much encouraged over the great
Improvement ahown under the Austro
American treatment. The Austro-American
Doctors have cured hundreds of seem
ingly hopeless chronic cases since coming
to Omaha.
Dr. Mllen. the physician In charge, Is
an eminent diagnostician of thirty years'
experience in nervous and chronic dis
eases. He sees all patients personally and
outlines their treatment.
The Austro-American Doctors are lo
cated at 428 Ramge Buldtng, loth and
Harney streets, Just opposite the Orpheum
theater. They accept no cases which they
cannot cure. The "new method" of treatment which they use consists in
locating and removing the cause rather than treating the effect. The hun
dreds of chronic cases which they have cured since opening their Omaha
offices have made them hosts of friends in Omaha and the surrounding
territory.
Those who are suffering with Paralysis, Rheumatism, Goitre, Epilepsy,
Gall Stones, Diseases of the Liver, Kidney, Stomach, Blood, Chronic and Nerv
ous Diseases of Men and Women, etc., should call at once, as delay Is dangerous.

which afford more than twice as much illumi
nation as carbon lamps with the same amount of
current. They are destined to displace all others,
whether gas or electric, due to their high effici

filimcnt is made of a substance capable of main
taining an intense brilliancy.
We sell Tungsten lamps for both house and
store lighting.
