-As a result of the derision of the su
preme court yesterday, requiring that
County Treasurer W. . Vre of ItougMs
county should make monthly remittance
of state funds to the state treasurer, six
teen counties are subject to a penalty for
failure to obey the orders of th state
trtosurer. These are Blaine, Burt, Clay,
Colfax, Dixon, Douglas, Dundy, Franklin,
Gr.rnt. Incaster, Morrill, Nemaha,
Phelps, Thorns. Valley and York.
Court Bailiff Frank W. Coleman left on
an evening train today for Omaha wllh
an order of the court ordering Treasurer
I're to pay to the state treasurer IITO.OOO
due the state as per the findings of the
court yesterday.
The supreme court holds that remit
tance of state taxes collected must be
made promptly at the first of the month.
The record shows that there Is new d.ie
the state $190,OK on collections made alma
March 1. Treasurer t're may be liable
for Interest at the rate of 10 per cent a
year on the delinquent paymenta The
amount of the penalty is roughly esti
mated at 2.S.
The case Is regarded as a test one ind
will affect treasurers of several ohr
counties.
Mr. t're said he could hardly believe
the court had handed down such a de
cision, as he understood that the brief
of the attorney general was submitted
only Thursday. He said, however, that
he would abide by the decision of the
court.

dlstrlrt court In the case of Blley against
City Clftk O. P. Cromwell wherein the
former and 1M petitioner sought to com
pel the city clerk to call a special e.lec
jtlnn on the saloon question. Th decision
I was in favor of the defendant, the JudgT
holding that the regular election showed
an expreslon of the wishes of th ma
jority of the voters even though there
were swmo Irregularities In the 'ectlon
notice as posted by former Clerk
I Cushlng.
i There Is a pnsibility that the matter
1 may be eaVrled to the supreme court
although this Is not deemed probable as
It Is doubtful if opinion would be ren
dered soon enough to permit the opera

Since the petition for a new election on
the saloon question has been rejected It
la rumored that a club will be organised
to supply the demand for liquors.
