KEARNEY'S PHOHE
COMPANIES MERGE
State Railway Commission Issues n
Order Compelling Two Firms
,to Consolidate.
REED WILL BE WHOLE WORKS
(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, Aug. 11. - (Special.) Ths
State Railway commission today Issued an
order on the complaint of W. J. Scout t
and K. D. Gould of Kearney, who opposed
the, continuation of the present dupIHa
tlon In telephone systems In tint city,'
and held that the two companion, tho
Nebraska company with WO phones and
the Kearney company ith 1.460. should
merge ' Into one company and do away
with the 250 duplication! now existing-.
Both companies have signified a wil
lingness to sell at any fair price, but the
local company said that their finances
were such that they could not purcha.be
the Nebraska company's phones, ao the,
order of the commission Is for the Ne
braska company to buy the business of
the Kearney Telephone company.
Some problems had to be met by the
commission, the most Important belnj
the, rule of the National Telephone asso
ciation that one company should not Day
the property of a competing company.
However, the commission has ruled that
the rules of the association permit con
solidation "whenever it is for the best
interests of the public," nnd therefore or
dered the consolidation.
The Nebraska company must report
within forty days to the commission the
result of the consolidation.
TestltiT All Oil.
James O. P. Hlldebrand. Inspector 1A the

mont this week in attendance at the
tractor meet, where he Is supervising and
testing all oils used by tho tractors. This
is done In order that In the tractor con
tests the same grade of nil may be used in
all machines.
No Outsiders Stand Chance.
Attorney General Reed proposes to be
the whole show In Nebraska when It
comes to prosecutions. A representative
of one of the departments called on the
attorney general this morning with tears
in his eyes, and with trembling voice be
sought the legal luminary of the state to
allow Ms department to hire a lawyer In
a prosecution which - tbey desire very
much to win, and which they doubted the
ability of the county attorney to handle.
As he did not ask for a representative
from the slate's legal department to pros
ecute, it Is inferred that none of theso
vere considered capable of handling the
lob successfully. However, he was
promptly and very firmly Informed by
Mr. Heed that the state department ,of
legal liphts would handle the cane if the
county attorney was not capable, and
that under no circumstances would lie
allow any outsider to butt in on the
prosecuting business.
Flfare on Cattle Ikon,
E. It. Danlelson of Osceola, superin
tendent of Class B of the state fair ex
hibits, being the cattle exhibit is at the
state house this morning to begin his
work--' In connection with the 1915 Nebraska-
exposition. Mr, Danlelson 1 fear
ful that bocausc of the cattle disease,
which has made so much trouble through
out the state, the cattle exhibit will not
come up to former years. Secretary Mel-
lor, however, is more hopeful and a week
! ajo issued a statement that the exhibit
of cattlo would be up to the standard.
In any event the fair will have "Desert
Joe," the trotting ostrich., and It Is raid
I that he can go some even if the cattle
I exhibit does not. So, what's the differ
ence? I Near Beer Prosecwtloa.
Nebraska's official flower, the golden
! rod, Is. getting a lot of publicity from
I the pure food department, the latest being
: the prosecution of Magnus Sjohlom of
I Dannebroar for selling a lot of "Oolden
j rod" near beer. This beer comes to the
(Office of the food commission quite reg
i ularly from town that have gone dry
and goldenrod has become a very popu
lar flower in these places. The beer is
showing a good test, some of the samples
showing a stronger percentage of alcohol
than the regular brands of beer. Sjohlom
pleaded guilty to the charge and paid a
fine of $10 and costs, the whole amount
ing to $17.50.

General Reed will neither affirm or deny
that he la preparing to bring suit to com
pel thoee who are alleged to have bor
rowed state funds from ex-Slate Treas
urer Joe Bartley. to reimburse the state.
When asked about It this morning he
closed up as tight as an oyster and
changed the subject to a discussion of
other things.
lis would not soy that the article pub
lished In The Bee a few days ago re
gardlng the matter was not true. It may
easily be seen that certain Individuals
over the state are retting rather nervous
over the publication of the article.
It has been demonstrated that Attorney
General Reed, since his advent Into, the
attorney general's office, takes a great
deal of delight In stirring up the animals,
hoping that his name may become a
household word by the time It Is neces
sary to elect a Vnlted States senator in
1918. In the estimation of people who
have watched his going and comings, he
will do some lively prodding when he gets
around to the cage where tho Bartley
animals are roosting In fancied safety. '

when a merchant has an overload
thrust upon an overload it takes su
preme effort to eet out from under.
The case of Julius Orkln, the pop

Mr. Orkln not only has the cares of
a complete remodeling and enlarg

There Is only one course to pur

of each ncwljr arrived case of Fall
goods bodily Into the "Enlarging
Sale" now featured at the Orkln es
tablishment. It matters not what
these new Fall wearables would
have brought a few weeks later;
they must go now. They must go
because Julius Orkln has firmly de
termined to open his newly re
modeled establishment with au en
tire new stock; there must not be
a thread of the old stock remaining,
and. if he keeps tho newly arrived
Fall goods even a few weeks Mr.
