According to the provisions hi .s. F. 7R
Secretary of State Wait believes that" the
Rock Island Railroad company will rein
state Itself as a corporation in good stand
ing In the state by the payment of a fee of
JAM. This, company Is one which Is con
testing In the federal courts the validity
of the cent fare law and the Aldrlch
freight .reduction law. The act passed at
the lflflS session of the legislature required
home corporations and foreign corporations
to pay to the state an annual occupation
tax baaed on the paid up capital. iCvery
corporation falling to do this was to have
Its franchise forfeited. At the recent ses
sion of the legislature the law was amended
so as to provide that delinquent corpora
tions or those who have failed to pay on
account of some unavoidable circumstances
might be reinstated by paying back taxes
together with slight penalties. The secre
tary of state Is empowered to use hla dis
cretion In the matter of reinstatement, it
Is said that of the 4..0 companies whose
franchises were cancelled on account of
this delinquency It is thought that fully
fifty of them will comply with the pro
visions of the new law and reinstate.

Brewster Man "Wants I.lne
C. K. Hall, representing citizens of Sar
gent, has written Attorney General Grant
Martin to ask if there Is not some, means
by w hich the Burlington .root! can be com
pelled to build a line of road from Sar
gent to Brewster, - The Una -now. ends, at
fargent. Mr. Hall' says a meeting of cltl-
ens was held to see If something can be
done to have the road completed. He
writes that the Burlington built a roadbed
over twenty years sgo from Sargent to
Brewster, but no rails or rolling stock
have been put on it. He believes the road-,
bed was built for the purpose "of keeping
out other railroad lines. It Is asserted
that the roadbed runs diagonally through
farms and has nnarly ruined a great many
farms. Mr. Hall said he had written to
the State Ball way cummlsxion and that
body had Infomic-d. lilm it did not have
jurisdiction over such a cane. As the at
torney general recently Informed tho rail
way Commission that It did not have
power to require a street car company to
build a line, he will be obliged to say that
the asms opinion applies to railroad com
panies, which are common carriers the
fame as street car companies.

Shamrock Pitchers
Buffeted All Over
Rourke's Park
In Order to Make Game Interesting
Two Leaguen Are Loaned to
South. Omaha Team.
The Rourkes yesterday afternoon ham
mered the Shamrock pitchers for a total of
seventeen hits and took the long end of a
14 to 1 score.
In the first half of the fifth Ouerness of
the Shamrocks was hit above the right
temple by a pitched ball and rendered un
conscious for over ten minutes.
After the fourth Inning the game was not
even practice for the Colts and everything
but base ball was indulged in. The men
ran around the field with members of the
visiting team on bases. Rhodes toyed with
the men who faoed htm. In the first five
Innings he strunck out eleven men and
in the last four five of the Shamrock slug
gers fanned the air while attempting to
meet the ball.
in two lnnlncs the Rourkes batted around
and In the fourth Inning six hits were
batted out and five runs garnered. Base
stealing was easy for the Omaha boys, but
no attempts were msde to pilfer sacks off
the wily Agnew.
In order to make the game a trifle more
Interesting for the spectators two of tho
Omaha players were placed on the Sham
rock team, but the hard hitting of the
Rourkes dlscoursged the boys from South
Omaha and the game was slow.
Carey, the clever third baseman for the
Shamrocks, distinguished himself by get
ting three hits off Rhodes In four times
to bat.. Every hit was clean and the
small crowd present gave the youngster a
good hand when he made the last one. He
also fielded well and took six chances with
out a boot.
When it was seen that the game was
safe and there was not much chance of II
being lost by the Rourkes, Capraln
Sclilpke changed ths men about in dif
ferent patrs of ths field. Farrell was
placed on third after umpiring for four In
nings. Graham was out of the game, hav
ing ripped a fingernail off his right hand
while practicing before the game. Schoon
over also was missing from tiie lineup
owing to sore feet.
But one error was checked up against
the Rourkes throughout the game, while
the South Omaha team managed to get
away with seven. Rhodes passed but three
men during the game, while Smith and
Ouerness gave eleven of the Colts free
transportation to the Initial sack. The
score: K..E.
