CITY LAWS BE TESTED
Right of Lincoln Officers -to Get
Increase in Doubt.
FIGHT UPON THE NEW CHARTER
Capital City Fltids Itcelt Pacini?
Period of Agitation and Liti
gation Over Fundamental
Matters.
(From a Staff Correspondent)
v 3UlCOt,N, Sept. 19.-(Speclal.)-The
city of Lincoln will bo the scene of much
strife during thb next few woks. The
charter commission Is finding Its work
criticized from many points, and It Is a
question whether the charter will ever
be adopted.
However greater grief awaits the new
city commission when on Saturday morn
1ns there will be filed In the district
court by Henry Hucklns of the Lincoln
Herald, an Injunction restraining the
city clerk from Issuing vouchers to the
new officers under the city commission
form.
Mr. Hucklns sets out Jn his applica
tion that tho statutes of Nebraska giv
ing cities of. the, class of Lincoln a right
to lncororate and have charters say that
th city clerk shall rccclvo $1,500 per
annum, the engineer fl.CO and sc on. the
chief of police to receive 1100 jpt month,
which shall be "In full for all services
tf every kind rendered by them."
The applcatlon then goes on to show
how the different officers have received
boosts in salaries and especially the chief
of police, who will receive, beginning
September 1, an additional $50 a month
and aso an allowance of another $50 a
month for the use ot Wb automoblo.
Mr. Hucklns declares this to be a wicked
end useless extravagance and a waste
of the people's money, and he asks that
the court declare action of the city corn
mission Illegal and enjoin the city clerk
from drawing warrants for the Increase,
Other charges In extravagance In othet
departments are cited to show that there
Is a wanton and wholesale discrimina
tion against the, rights of tho taxpayers
Tho fine point In the controversy and
the one which will be the bone of con
tentlon and on which tho commission
bases Its right to make the Increases Is
the claim of the commission that the
.Banning law gives them the right to
make the salaries which officials of the
city shall receive, while Mr. Hucklns
insists that they cannot go back of the
statutes which created cities of the Lin
con class and prescribed the salaries to
be paid.
CASS COUNTY CITIZENS
WANT TRAINS CHANGED
(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, Sept W.-(Speclal.)-Jt was
Cass county day In the office of-the rail
way commission this morning and a lar4
delegation representing every town In
that county was present to urge upon
the commission the importance of puftlns
cn a train on tho Missouri Pacific which
would give the peoplo ot the western por
tion ot the county chance to go to tho
Cass county seat. Without having to take
ilfjaiy and a night to make the trip.
A- I Tldd of . Platsmouth, appeared In
behalf of the complainants, while E. M.
Morsman of the railway company looked
after" tho Interests of the corporation.
Orlando Teftt of Avoca said there was
a general demand 'for some kind ot. a
i whifU wmiM nllow the Deo
limn osi i. . - -
Pie of his town to'go to' Plattsmouth and
back thb same day.' As It is now wey
tafca thA Missouri Pacific at
Avoca,' go .to "Weeping Water 'and chang
cars, .then to "union and change, ogam
and then on to Plattsmouth, spending
neatly a whole day In getting to the
mimfv neat and then about the same
tlmo In getting home after sitting u tai
midnight p vcatch a train soutn out ot
Platsmouth.
Others from different towns testify
t4 about the same conditions, Mr. Aldrlch,
an Elmwood banker, stating that there
was no way to make the trip In one dav
except around by the way ot Omaha,
"If the Burlington ran their train on the
Louisville road i twenty minutes earlier,
or the Missouri' Pacific would get thelt
ti&ln into Louisville twenty minutes ear
lier so we could connect with the Bur
lington at that town wo could make the
trip, and back In one day,"' said he, "but
now It Is a case ot going to Weeping
Water and changing again for Omaha,
then changing again to get down to
PlatUmduth."
Most of the witnesses testified that they
did not go to Plattsmouth very often,
end only when absolutely necessary be
cause of the train service, and the oVet
nlsht trlD.
The matter was taken under advisement
by the commission.

Nebraska's Corn
Crop Not So Bad,
Declares Pool
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Sept 19. (Speclal.)-Labor
Commissioner Pool returned yesterday
from an automobllo trip through John
son, Otoe, Cass and Lancaster counties.
He saw many fields of corn, especially In
Otoe, which he thinks will yield fohy
bushels to the aero and he la of the
opinion that the outlook tor corn Is much
better than people generally have any
Idea of.
"It is true." said Mr. Pool, "that there
has been much hot weather and some
localities have suffered on account of tho
protonged hot weather, but Nebraska
corn is going to bo In evidence.
"Our state has received some unfavor
able advertising because some peoplo, who
have seen only the bad features have
become' scared and have advertised the
fact that Nebraska "crops have been
burned out There Is going to .be lots
of corn In Nebraska. It Is only necessary
to read the reports In the dally papers
from the county fairs to show that there
Is lots ot corn.
"I saw an account of the Boone county
fair at Albion this morning, which says
that the corn exhibit thero Is four times
as great as In any previous, years, and
that county has made some great ex
hibits In the past, too."

NORTH PLATTE FAIR AND
. FESTIVAL GREAT SUCCESS
NORTH PLATTE, Neb., Sept 19.(-8pe-clal,)
The large attendance and splendid
displays of agricultural and live stock
exhibits at the Lincoln County. Agricul
tural Fair and Fall festival, being held
at North Platte this week, Is a great sur-
prlso to many who were depressed by
the hot, dry weather and who Imagined
that crops were a failure.
The commltteo In charge was overrun
for the best space In which to display
the exhibitsthat have been brought In
by the people throughout the county.
The products exhibited, numbering more
than 700 hundred entries, aro pronounced
by agricultural college experts, who are
acting as Judges, to be the equal, and
In vinany cases, surpassing tho display
found at state fairs.' The live stock
showing Is not so large, consisting ot
ICO entries, but in most cases they are
thoroughbred and eligible to compete fot
state fair prizes.
A careful canvass of the corn situa
tion In the county shows that the yield
will be nearly up to the ten years
average, and by reason of tho high
price of corn the Income from thli
source will be considerably above the
average. The alfalfa and wild hay crop
is very large.
Sweet clover, which until recently con
sidered a dangerous weed, has been found
to bo a valuable forage plant and over
130.C00 worth of sweet clover seed Is be
lng shipped by local dealers. Thin seed
brings about the same price as alfalfa,
and tho demand far exceeds tho supply
at this time.
The applo crop Is the best in years, and
the quality ot the fruit Is excellent; on
orchard alone, that ot David Hunter,
will produce 15,000 bushels of marketable
apples.
An Interesting feature of the festival
Is the exhibition of the etate Experi
mental 'farm. Here are shown grains ot
all kinds cultivated at the farm, and the
comparative yield and quality for several
year's aro shown side by side, and show
ing also, tho amount of moisture con
sumed by growing stock and grain dur
ing, the .entire twentyfour hours' ot the)
given day.
