lowtnsT an attempt on- the part of the
school officers of Lincoln to collect tui
tion from the children of state officers
who attended school here. When the at
ttmpt was made It waa alloced that the
school officers of Lincoln listed the uni

city's share of the school apportionment.
That this was true la shown br the fall

by Mr. McBrlan that the practice cease.
Omaha and Lincoln, according" to the
records, appear to have sinned about

In proportion padded their returns even
more. Tha school census for Omaha and

BEATRICE, Neb.. April 15. Special. )
The report to the effect that Judge Pem
berton of this city had decided a case at
Auburn a few days ago wherein he held
the signers to a saloon petition liable for
damages has caused many residents of this
city who have signed saloon petitions some
uneasiness.
Judge Pemberton, In explaining the case,
states that some of the signers to ths pe
tition at Auburn, ' where ' a woman had
brought suit for damages against the sa
loon keeper for the sale of liquor to her
husband, were alleged to have sold liquor
to Mm. and ho therefore held them as
parties to the suit.
Tha law says that signers to saloon pe
titions, are not liable; that they must be
disinterested parties and residents of the
ward and precinct in which they live. If
they are disinterested parties they are not
Interested and are therefore not liable for
damages.
