(Special Tel egram. )-In a statement Issued today, V. II. Thompson of' Grand Island, who yes terday filed as a candidate for the demo cratic nomination for United States sen ator, asserts that William J. Bryan Is the greatest living advocate of demo cratic national doctrine. , "I have fought many battles with Mr. Bryan," he declared, "and I believe that all of the democrats of the state should concede to him the selection of delegate-at-large to the next national democratic convention. The party should take no backward step at this time If It wishes to retain the confidence of the people and the nation." Mr. Thompson asserts that, although he does not believe that the party Is in the least torn by Internal dissension at this time, he Is not aligned! with any par ticular wing or so-called faction. "Mem bers of the same political ihousehold cer tainly may differ on details or on men without there being the cry put forward that they are divided factlonally," he de clared. Judge Hunger of the federal court this morning granted a temporary restraining order against the city of Beatrice and Its officers tp prevent them from enforcing an ordinance lowering the rate to be charged for gas. The complainant Is the Gage County Light and Power company. The action of the federal court Is In voked on the ground of federal question involved, It being alleged in the bill that the Beatrice ordinance la in violation of that provision of the federal constitution which says that no state shall abridge the privileges or Immunities of any cltl aen of the United States, and which for bids the taking of life, liberty or prop erty without due process of law. The Beatrice council passed the ordi nance granting a franchise to the gas company in 1908, and by the ordinance the maximum rate to be charged waa fixed at $1.25 per 1,000 cubic feet. Later upon a showing made by experts the council allowed the rate to be raised to S1.3& per 1.000 feet But last October an other ordinance was passed, reducing the rate to the former figure of $1.25 per thousand. The enforcement of this ordi nance is what the company seeks to have permanently enjoined. High School Leaders to Confer at York YORK.

UNION PACIFIC CONTESTS TAX LEVY IN MERRICK CENTRAL CITY. Neb., Nov. 30. (Spe cial.) Complications are threatened in th. matter of the collection of the taxes as sessed against the Union Pacific railroad in Merrick county, and it is-probable thai the courts may be called upon to settle the dispute. When the various townships made their assessments this year some of them merely lumped the road, brldgt. and' general levies? together under the head of "all purposes," and certified theli levies in that form to the county clerk, who made up the tax lists. The llmii for road purposes is 10 mills, for brldgt t mills and for general purposes 2 mills. The railroad claims that where the lev-let were all included in one sum under th head .of "all purposes" that they mus, be counted as a general fund levy, anu that the 2 mills general levy cannot be exceeded. Accordingly they tendered County Treasurer John T. McLean the sum of 334,010.76, and refused to pay th balance of $1,603.01, which they claim was eroneously levied. County Treasurer McLean has received a guaranty from the railroad that the receiving of the 334,010. 75 shall not preju dice his right to collect any further anu different sums claimed to be due for taxes. He says that as soon as February t rolls round he will Issue a distress war rant for the collection of the protested taxes. It is the opinion of County. At torney Rice that the treasurer has no power of Judgment touching the validity of taxes, and that he has no authority to' make a partial settlement, and that therefore the tender should have been re jected and a demand made for the full amount - METHODIST CHURCH AT GREELEY IS REDEDICATED GREELEY, Neb., Nov. 30.-Speolal.)-The Methodist church at this place was rededlcated on last Sunday, being pre ceded by a banquet to the men of the church on Saturday evening given by Rev.
