against a' difficult proposition in regard

braska and the question arises in th
mind of the commissioner whether ha
has Jurisdiction over government em
ployes While the last legislature enacted the
law making the workin got females more
than nine hours a day, the records of
tho Msslon show that a large number
'of femalo employes got In two days' pay

over the nine- hours.

WAHOO. Neb., Dec. 16.-(Special.)-Tho
Rogers will case, which created so much
Interest in the county court last October,
was settled In Lincoln yesterday and a
stipulation of. same filed In the district

In the county court It was contested by
Mr. nogers two brothers, James and
John T. Rogers, and his neices and
nephows, Bertha Strahl, James W. John
son, Eleanor Johnson Mitchell and Minnlo
Johnson Hardy. Probate of tho will was
denied by County Judge P. P. White and
the case waa appealed to the district
court.
Tho estate is valued at about 190,000, of
which sum, after all debts arc paid, Tina
Stewart McGregor gets one-third, about

his brother, John T. Rogers, tho same

K. V. Reed of the blue sky
department of the State Railway com
mission has nui do his report tq the com
mission for the period from July 17,
when tho law went Into effect, to. No
vember 30.
Commissioner Reed pays the newspapers
a compliment for the assistance they
havo given the department In tho pub
licity line, as It has been a great help
In giving the public an Idea of Its provi
sion.. According to the report, the new law
Is - encumbered by many imperfections,
caused by the hurry of passage at the
closing moments of the leglsalture. Tho
attorney general has been called upon
rcveral times to untangle some of tho
provisions of the law and give an
opinion' as to their meaning. Among them
are the following most Important given:
"That- par calue of each Bhare of stock
offered for sale must be not lees than
JHO.
"That foreign corporations- having do
mestication under section 4137 of the
statutes does not constitute Nebraska
corporations as the term is used In the
act."
"That a. 'dealer' Is not required to take
out a permit unless the securities offered
are subject to regulation under the act.
"That the commission cannot authorize
the sale of fractional shares ot stock
having a par value of $100 each."
"That Increase of capital stock by
amendment of articles of Incorporation
by Nebraska corporations existing prior
to July 17 does not havo the effect of
creating a new corporation and requiring
a permit."
"That co-operative corporations will
have to comply with the requirement of
the act with reference to the sale of
stock, prohibiting sale by such corpora
tion of Its stock having a par value of
less than 1"0 per share."
The receipts of the department for the
Kxcrlleut for Stomach Trouble.
"Chamberlain's Tablets are Jut fine
for stomach trouble," writes Mrs. O. C.
Dunn. Arno'd, Pa. "I was bothered with
this coplalnt for some time and fre
quently had bilious attacks. Chamber.
Iain's Tablets afforded me great relief
from the Ilrst, and since taking one
bottle of Ihem I feel like a different per

in the United States and the deadly

to the increased number of indoor

their lack of sunshine.
Tubercular germs always attack when
the system is weakened from colds or

Delzell Surprised
at the Oahrge Made
About the Teachers
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Dec. !6.-Speclal.)-State
Superintendent Delzell this morning gavo
out a stament when asked about the
charges &s to fixing up the books ot the
State Teachers' association In connection
with certain relations with tre Lincoln
commercial club.
The statement reads in part: "The
Item of $1,321 was not Included In either
side of the treasurer's report in the
program of the State Tteachors' associa
tion. The report In the program ahowa
that there were actually enrolled 4,568
members In 1912; that to add the t,l
would have given an enrollment of B,SJ,
and to make, the enrolment Just as It was
the report showed J4.G68; that the H.i21
did not aa quoted, 'npear to have been
received and expended for miscellaneous
purposes.' There was nothing said about
It whatever, neither was there any Jug.
filing of the books.
"The executive commltee examined the
treasurer's report and the secretary's"
book, and found that they were correct
and that they Included the. 11,321. The
report was not given to cover up any
action of the Lincoln Commercial club.
That was fully aired In the papers a
year ago and waa not a part of his ad
ministration. It was all sttledup under
the previous administration. The. report
of the enrollment in 1912 was a mater of
Interest tl him, and he gave the exact
enrollment as agreed upon by the ex
ecutlve committee of 1912, which was
i.KS. Tile enrollment this year waa 4,632
as reported at the close of the meeting.
"There wa a slight change In the le
port as given by the treasurer, leaving
the enrollment somewhere between 4.C20
and 4,632, he does not remember the
exact number. Therti wbb no charge of
fraud made by any member of the exveu
time committee against his report. He
was surprised at the report in" the paper
that there was ascrap In the executive
committee meeting, as harmony prevailed
In every meeting from the first to tho
last."
