The Northwestern has filed a new rate schedule with the railway comramlon showing a reduction in rates on cement from Norfolk to other tnwas tn Nebraska, and with the schedule was filed an order or decision of the Interstate Commerce com mission, authorising it to charge these rates. In the printed decision Commis sioner Harlan dissents.' holding that the question is one purely" affecting the state and, therefor?, the Interstate Commef-e comm!""Vn has nn jurisdiction over the matter. The maqrity of the commission hold that the rMes charged between Nor folk and the other Nebraska points were unreasonable and ordered a reduction, and the railroad complied with the order with out consulting the local commission. The cae w brought by the Acme Plas ter company of Wyoming against - the Northwestern. This company ships lis cement from Wyoming to Norfolk over the Union Pacific and from Norfolk to Ne braska points on the Northwestern. It was the rates on tne Northwestern that were reduced. Roowerelt for the Fair. Secretary Mellor of the State Board of Agricilture has decided not to try to get ex-President Roosevelt for the Nebraska stata fair. He will do nothing that, might lessen the chances of Omaha securing ta colonel. "Colonel Roosevelt Is going through Omaha September 2 for Cheyenne," said Mr. Mellor. "and that would be a week before the fair, so It would do us no e-od to secure elm for the fair crowd. If he stops over In Omaha more people would get to seo h!ru and It would not Interfere with the crowds which are coming to the state fair." Not Ip to Legal Department. Being In Omaha today. Governor Shallen berger did not get to ask the opinion of the attorney general on the legality of an exhibition of the Jeffries-Johnson prize fight pictures. Mr. Thompson said be had not looked up the law In the matter, but If bo had to pass on the question it might bo probable ha would have to sea the pic tures firs'- In fact the defeat of Jeffries wti the first prise fight disappointment the attorney general has had since the defeat of John L. Sullivan by CorbetL Coaaolldatloo of Raral Schools. "Superintendent Biuhop has Just Issued a forty-page bulletin on the "Consolidation of P.ural Schools." Consolidation, i explained As meaning the uniting of two, three or xnora small and weak schools Into one that ball be large enough in point of members to be Interesting, and strong enough In tho way of money to afford a comfortable building, two or more good teachers and .reasonable facilities for work. It also means that outlying territory with but few children shall bo combined wtth a nearby school that la strong, rather than remain unorganised Into a separate but weak dis trict. In Its fullest sense It means the unit ing of all tho schools of a township Into pn or two so located as to be most ac- csib!e. though not necessarily at the geographic center. ' Amxig tiie adantacs claimed for con-j .;.dt" are: 1. It la much cheaper for the same grade cf school. j 1 At the same espense "nuch better scho.-is can he secured, because fewer teachers being needed a better grade can , be secured, a division of labor established ' and at Imst sirw sort of supervision in- I augurated. It make possible a country sehcil eijual In every sense to the best city , schoois. yet within reach of farm hoo.se. 4. The health of children is better wiien conveyed In wagons a--vd landed warm and dry than when sitt:ng sS day with wet Wt and draggled clothing after tramping throi.cti ail kinds of rc-ads in all kinds o( weather.

It makes possible the employment of at least one experienced. w vll-educstcd, broad-minded teacher, under whose super vision even young and Inexperienced teach ers covering fewer things will do far bet ter work thnn w nen woi king atone tr ing tj tee.cn everything. 7. It increases property values as a whole fir those who care to sell and broadens Mfe for those who stay. J. It makes unnecessary the sending of young boys and girls away from home for liifch school privileges on the one band, or the breaking up of homes oo the other tn 'going to town to educate tha children." 5. It makes unnecessary the present coat!;' lyfltra of sending the young men and women at private expense to village nign se no h s. tnua supporting a douoie sys tem of education for country enhdren.
