BRIEF IN NORMAL CASE
Attorney! Come Into Court with
Argument on New Law.
STATE FAIR COMES OUT WELL
la Spite of Decreased Receipts, Dae
Rata, No Deficit is Likely
In Treasury as It
Stands.
:
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Sept. 11. Speeial.)-The brief
of the Mate wherein the attorney general
I testing the legality of the act passed
by the late legislature which created a
new state normal board, wai filed In the
Supreme court today, Attorney General
Thompson and E. C. Calkins appearing
for the slate.
The brief contends that the act Is un
constitutional because It Is contrary to
the provisions of the constitution, which
J provides that no act shall contain more
than one subject, which shall be set out
In Its title. It contends that the subject
of the bill Is not contained In Its title and
j that the amendments are not germane to
the original act. The amendments even
( provide that the persona appointed to the
board must be men of standing and edu
, cation. This provision, the brief said.
Serves no purpose except to Indicate what
rklnd of men the governor might appoint
Unless restrained. Under the simpler policy
the title of American cltlsenshlp was a
Sufficient qualification for any officer.
Th attorney general discusses the fol
lowtwg points:
The bill contains more than one subject
And neither Is expressed In the title.
The act In question violates the constitu
tional provision that no law shall be
amended' unless the new act contains the
action or sections so amended. ,
The brief argues there Is no misjoinder
, of action and that T. J. Majors Is not ell-
Ik rtble to serve on the board, even If the act
a held to be constitutional, which the brief
irn does pot seem probable.
The appointment of Colonel Majors, the
brief says, is In violation of that section
f the constitution which provides that no
! person elected to the legislature shall re
i celve an appointment to a civil office at the
hands of the governor and senate during
the term for which he Is selected.
Fast Train Schedule.
The fastest train schedule on file with
the Railway commission has been f If led by
the Union Pacific which shows a rate of
W t miles an hour, Including stops, between
Council Bluffs and Denver. This la train
Ko, 11 and the trip is made In 14.18 hours.
Ko. 18, the east-bound train, has a schedule
. tf SS.S miles an hour, Including stops. -Ifo
Deficit avt Fair.
Though the receipts of the state fair this
wear amounted to 127,000 lees than a year
ago, all expenses of the fair will be' paid
and there will be no deficit The receipts
this year are estimated at 162.000. against
179,000 for 1008. The expenditures will take
about all of the receints.
Inasmuch as the fair was favored with
good weather for only two or three days,
me remainder or the time it having rained,
the board feels very a-ratlfled at the wav
the DeoDle turned out to save the day. The
board will have practically nothing to go

Attempt Made
to Wreck Train
Telephone Lineman Discovers Spikes
and Notifies Agents of the
Company.
FAIRBURT, Neb., Sept. 11. Special
Telegram.) An attempt to wreck Rock
Island train No. 17 Just west of Plymouth
last night was frustrated by the finding
of seventeen seta of spikes placed In such
a manner as to derail the train when it
struck them. A telephone lineman driving
across country saw the spikes and went to
the tracks and displaced them. He then
hurried to the station and reported his
find. The dispatcher's office in Falrbury
was notified and orders were forwarded
to the train crews to be on the lookout for
further attempts. The matter had been
reported but a few minutes when the first
section of No. 17 cam Into Plymouth
loaded with people returning from the state
fair at Lincoln. The first . section was
closely followed by a tecond section fully
as crowded with human freight and It
Is hard to guess what the result might
have been had the train wreckers' plan
carried out.
No definite clue as to the Identity of the
would-be wreckers Is known, but the Rock
Island is making every effort to locate
the parties.
At Plymouth it was reported that a
gang of foreign laborers had been dis
charged the day previous and many
thought the train wreckers might be some
of the displaced men.

YORK NKARLY FREE OF DISEASE
Quarantine , "Will Soon Be Raised
"Enlarged" Stories Told.
YORK, Neb., Sept. 11. (Special.) Tork
people are Indignant because of numerous
nensattonal reports circulated In Nebraska
that spinal meningitis has appeared here
and that numerous cases still exist to the
danger of public health. The club has
found one Instance where a person had to
insist on a ticket agent ' selling a ticket
for Tork and numerous instances where
the condition at York was grossly exaggerated.
By request of the Commercial club of
York, Its physicians, county and city
Board of Health of York, they wish to
make a statement that there' haa been
no case of spinal meningitis In the city of
York. Early In the summer a disease
that principally affected children under
11 years of age, appeared at and near
Stromsburg, and from there spread until
there were nearly 300 cases in Polk and
North York, Hamilton and Butler coun
ties. By reason of failure properly to
quarantine this disease called anterior
poliomyelitis, It has spread as far east
as eastern Lancaster county, west of Kear
ney, southwest to Mlnden and as far south
aa the state line. In August York had Its
first case, and by strictest quarantine
methods what few cases appeared in York
were stamped out. At no one time has
there been to exceed eight cases In York
which, considering that York has a popu
lation ot 7,600, Is a small per cent, and
within four days four cases will be re
leased from quarantine. In ten days the
quarantine will be lifted and York hopes
to be free of a single case.

Last night, while coming home from the
state fair, a man, for some unknown
reuson, crawled from the car window and
dropped in the ditch while the train was
running at a high speed. Several Dor
chester people saw him Jump and thought
that he was Intoxicated and feared that
the conductor would put him off. The sec

but ha could not be found. It Is thought
that he got aboard the next section of

COUNTV DIVISION IN CTJSTKR
Opponents of Plan Regard It as
Scheme ot Real Estate Men.
BROKEN BOW, Neb., Sept. 1L (Special.)
The division question haa been voted on
many times in this county, and it will
again come before the people In November.
With one exception in the early history
of the county, the proposition has been de
feated by overwhelming majorities, and
there are Indications that this year county
division will be more unpopular among the
general taxpayers living at a distance
from the prospective county seats thstn It
has been In other years.
The lines adopted are not satisfactory to
those who have formerly been advocates of
division. It Is proposed to divide Custer
into four counties and the lines drawn are
of such irregular and slgsag shape that
much opposition is developing. The pro
posed southwest county haa 760 square
miles, while the northeast and southeast
counties have little over 500 square miles.
Ths county levy of Custer county Is now
reduced to 7 mills. Two years ago the
county levy was 10 mills, but with the In
crease in real estate values, the levy has
been reduced and the amount of money
raised for county purposes Is practically
the same now that it was two years ago.
The advocates of county dlvslon hardly
like to admit that the division proposition
Is In reality a scheme to make countv -ats
of the towns of Callaway, Ansley and Sar
gent. The division sentiment among the
residents of ths villages named is very
strong, the farmers whose lands do not
adjoin or lie near these proposed county
seats are, as a rule, not in favor of going
up against largely Increased county tsxes
for the sole purpose of enhancing the value
of village property. They figure that the
transcribing of the enormous volume of
county records for three counties, the
building of three new court houses and
the maintaining of four sets of county
officers, together with the many other ex
pensive Items connected with this radical
change, will make an expense of 1200,000
during the first year or two should the
county be divided.
