Owing to the abt-ence of Attorney General Thompson form the city It was not possible today to get a statement from the legal department as to what would tm done regarding- tho Rock Island railroad, which has failed to pay It occupation tax, and Is, therefore, under the law, Incapable of doing business In Nebraska legally. The law which provides for the payment of an annual fee by corporations provides the following penalty for Its violation: Section 8 It shall be unlawful for any corporation, delinquent under this act, either domestic or foreign, which has not paid the ocupatlon fee, together with the IKftialty for such delinquency, as In this act prescribed, to exercise the powers of such corporation, or to transact any business In this stale, after the 3oth day of November next following the delinquency.

Thu Rock Island is now In llllgntlon with the state over the railroad legislation en I acted by tho legislature of 1M7 ind over an order issued by the State Rall,viy com mission to compel It to construct a cross ing at Ilallnm. What effect the cincella tion of Us charter will have on this litiga tion Deputy Attorney General Grant Mar tin woull not say, not having looked into the question thoroughly. The Rock Ifland la not In very good odor Jljth the legal department of the slito or thtV railway commission because of ita re fusal to carry out orders of the co-umiv aion. In the Hallam case, where (he rail road was petitioned to construct a cross ing In order to save the citizens several blocks' walk In Koin.i over the trncks, the commission ordered the crossing con structed. The railroad appeaJed to the district court and than again to tho su- i preme court. No decision has yet been handed down. That case has been In con troversy about two years. Tho case in- ? volves $24. Another case with the Rock Ioland that has dragged along Is that wherein the commission ordered the con struction f a depot st-University Place. The railroad appealed to the courts an.I, though . the supreme court held with the commission' last February, that depot has not yet been constructed. The charters of many other railroads have also been cancelled . under.. the occu pation tax law, but It 13 supposed that In practically all of theso cases the com panies had ceased to do business or had been consolidated, as in the case of the Burlington organizations. To Help the Towns. The city of Alliance succeeded in dispos ing of flOO.000 Douglas county bonds and as a result State Treasurer Brian' will take over 136,000 bonds of that city.

Messrs Eteen and Gibson, who have the electric light franchise, were before the electrlo tight committee of the city council last night and asked for an extension of time. The franchise stipulates that lights shall be operated by the first of Septem ber, but the promoters request an ad dltlonal two months and give as their reason a certain stringency in their finan cial affairs.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, June 28. (Special.) Consider able Interest is being taken In the coming meeting of democrats at Columbus next Monday by local democrats, because lie rival leaders ot the party have their strongest adherents in Lincoln. It is a question of who will control the new club to bo organised at that meeting Mr. Bryan of Governor Shallenberger. Those who have been Investigating Are of the opinion that the governor's friends have slipped up on tho offside of the peerless leader and "put one over on him," because as late as a day ago the managers f the Bryan end of democracy were not tho least bit sus picious of that Columbus meeting and did not believe that It Is of any significance other than merely to organist a democratic booster club to work In the state. Tho meeting was proposed b ythe demo cratic state committee, which Is controlled absolutely by tho governor, tho secretary being the chief clerk in his office atid the chairman being one of his henchmen. The chairman has not in the recent discussion of democratic affairs given any aid or encouragement to the things Mr. Bryan is fighting for in tha dcmorcatlc ranks. So tha club that Is to be organized is not going to devote Its time to the advocacy of Mr. Bryan's late views on questions which affect politics In Nebraska. That is tho opinion of persons here. Although there is no question as to who .will control the organization of the new club if the. present plans are carried out, there Is quite a question as to who will dominate the next democratic state committee. ' Tho members of this com mittee are to be elected at the state con vention. Should Governor Shallenberger or the anti-Bryan democrats have a new committee or 'club of their own, author ized to collect money for the campaign, it would make little difference to them who controlled the state committee. Hence to be on the safe side and to pre vent as far as possible, the domination of the democratic campaign by Mr. Bryan, the new club Is considered by some dem ocrats as a necessity. It' is possible, however, that the governor may have to fight some even If his friends have everything set, for there are pros pects that some things will be pulled off that are not now down on the official pro gram. Some of Mr. Bryan s lieutenants be gan to consider looking after his interests this morning and It is possible that they may be able to at least create a stir at Columbus. Many democrats from here ex pect to attend the meeting. by a good heavy shower. Not mar thu halt an Inch of rain fell, but it will greatly benefit the crops. The wheat fields are be ginning to take on the harvest hue and wneat cutting will begin here next, week, BEATRICE A gasoline launch owned by W. hi. Garrett caught fire on the Blue river last night about a mile northwest of the city and burned to the water's edg In tho boat were R. F. Guefroy, Harry Keech and John Garrett, and they saved themselves by jumping out and swlmmln asnore. BEATRICE John Gordon yesterday pleaded guilty to the charge of obtaining money unaer raise pretenses and was sen tenced to thirty days In the county Jail He wrote a check on the First National bank the other day for 15 and when th check was presented for payment It was found that he bad no runds In the bank. HOLDREGE The condition of crops tne present time in this county is verv grave. 1 Tho next few days will determine the fate of the wheat In all probability. Corn Is standing the change to hot weather very well, but will suffer If It does not rain within tha next week. Oats is holding its own, but will need moisture soon.

Fanny Crosby of Bridgeport, Conn., fa mous as the author of nearly 7,000 Gospel hymns, received numerous congratulations on the occasion of her ninetieth birthday, March 24. She lives with a niece In this city, where her birthday anniversary was fittingly recognized by a gathering of the Fanny Crosby Circle of King's Daughters. The famous hymn writer, whose full name Is Francis Jane Crosby Van Alstyne, has been blind ever Blnce she was ti weeks old. At the age of 15 she entered the Institute for the Blind In New York City and for ten years she was a teacher there. She wrote and published her first hymn while she was still In her teens, and though now 90 years old she has not yet laid aside her pen. When at the height of her activity she frequently produced twelve or fifteen hymns in a single week. At the sugges tion of her publishers, who said they did not want to have the same name opposite every hymn in their books, Miss Crosby used during her long career more than 100 noma de plume. For over half a century her hymns have been sung everywhere in the work of evangelization. In 1858 Miss Crosby was married to Alexander Van "Alstyne, who also was blind. He was a musician of ability and set some of his wife's best known verses to music. Mr. Van Alstyne died in 1902, and since then the famous hymn writer has resided with a niece In this city, re ceiving a comfortable pension from the publishing firms who reaped large profits from her work. Probably the best known of the thousands of hymns that have come from Miss Crosby's pen are "Safe in the Arms of Jesus," "Jesus Water of Life Will Give," and "Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross." In addition to her hymns she has written numerous songs, many of which were familiar everywhere a generation ago. Philadelphia North American. EPWORTH LCAGl'K ELECTION B. A.

SMOKE UP FOR MISSOURI Millions of Corn Cob Pipes Turned Ont by the Shonnee State. Seven factories operating In Missouri turned out last year 27,733,260 corn cob pipes, known everywhere as "Missouri meerschaums," according to figures com piled by Archie Edmondston of the state labor bureau. If the five-Inch stems In those pipes were laid end to end they would reach from New York to San Fran cisco and lap back several hundred miles. Enough pipes were manufactured to give every man, woman and child in Missouri seven or eight pipes each. The value of those pipes last year was approximately $418,460. The S01 men and fifty-two women making them were paid In wages $137,327, and the farmers received 51M.W1 for the cobs. Franklin county leads the world In the manufacture of "Missouri meerschaums," and the pipes manufactured at Washing ton and Union in that county are sold the world over. The other points where fac tories are located are: Owenavllle in Gas conade, Bowling Green In Pike, and IIol stoin in Warren county. Farmers In tho counties where the factories are located grow a corn which has an exceedingly large cob. Each cob will make two pipes. In addition to the cob pipes, thoso fac tories turned out last year 454, 2C6 wooden popes, 152. "S3 pipe cleaners and about 30, OUO.OOO stems, most of them of reed, al though some are of bone, amber or limi tation amber. Edmonston estimates that the output this year will reach H7E.000, If the normal yearly Increase in the butlness la shown. Cob pipes sell reuully at 10 cents each, although those fitted up with bone or amber sterns sometimes retail at M cents. They are coated with a special preparation which prevents their burning.

The welcome will be as warm as the coming drivers could wish, but it will be free from the unpleasant features which have characterized these events for the last few years. All Omaha, that Is all of It which Is Interested In au tomobiles and in sporting events, will be at hand at the Douglas street bridge to cheer the cars on as they drive Into Omaha tor the night. In former seasons when this tour has been undertaken many of the owners of cars In the city have driven out ten, twenty and even thirty miles into the country to meet the coming travelers, and drive back with them Into the city. Every year, and especially when the roads are dry, this cus tom has raised the dust so much that when tha return trip was begun It was almoste impossible to breathe because of It. Ciab Will Entertain. This year the Omana Automobile club and the Omaha Motor club, the latter organized especially for this event, have arranged a program which will make It much more pleasant for the Gliddenttes as they come In. Instead of going to meet cars, all the autos which are down to welcome the In coming motorists, will line up on Douglas street west of the bridge, with the backs of the cars against the curbstone, and watch them come in. For those who wish to accompany the tourists for a part of the way, it is suggested that they drive out a little way on Tuesday morning, the morning of departure. Many of the cars will be gaily decorated with colors, and on Sixteenth street from tho Rome to the buildings directly across, will stretch a huge banner bearing the welcome of the Omaha Motor club. It Is probable that this club will remain In existence now that it has been started, as there is more than one automobile club needed in a town the size of Omaha. Tho 150 Gllddenites, with certain Omaha automobile men, will partake of a "Dutch lunch" at the Rome hotel, which has been selected as the headquarters of the ex pedition. A guard will be set over the cr.rs for the night on Jackson street, where they will be parked. Most of the drivers, who will have had nothing to eat since they left Marysvllle, at noon, will very likely get something more substantial than the lunch proposed, before they show up at the Rome.
