In the case of Leake against Leake, pros- scuted on error from Dodge county, the supreme court lays down the law that when a husband is actually a part of a family, living with It as such, and is tem- porarily incapacitated by iliness, his main- tenance and support, including necessary medical attendance, comes fairly within the rule of the statute which makes the wife lable e surety for necessarfes furnished the tamily. It is held that where the husband and family, Including the wife, remove to & sister state and no judgment can be ob- tained agalnst him in this state, the ob- taining of a judgment against him in the tourts where he resides, causing an ex- ecution to issue thereon and having it re- turned unsatisfied, is & suficient com- pliance with the law to sustain an action against the wife to recover for medical at- tendance. The holding of the court In the case of Bratcher against the National Aid Associa- shipyards at 9 tion, appealed from Clay county, will be of | interest to members of beneficlary organi- sations. 1t is the decision of the court that where an application for 'a beneft certificate of membership in a mutual ben- efit asociation declares on Its face that pay- ment of a first assessment and reglistry fee Is » condition precedent to membership and to the issuing of the certificate, and the bylaws contain the same provision, the applicant does not become a member and the certificate is not in force until such payments are actually made. Manual pos session of the benefit certificate, In case it is in force and is a binding contract, is not necessary in order to maintain an ac- tion upon it. Where the certificate is not in force and its issuance and delivery is refused, possession of it obtalned in an ac- tion of replevin before a justice of the peace, does not satisfy the requirements of issuance and delivery, and the rights of the holder remain the same they were before obtained possession of it in that maoner.

The County Board of Equalization this morning tabled a resolution by Commis- sioner Welton to change the assessment in the various wards. Mr. Welton desired the First ward lowered 15 per cent on all realty, the Fourth ward raised 10 per cent and the Second, Third and Sixth raised 5 per cent each. He quoted some figures to show the inequality. In the First ward the average valuation per lot is $1,100, while in the Fourth it i but $400. This ought not longer to exist The other commissioners were not in- clined to agree with him on the equities. They say that the whole city was lowered $270,000 on its realty and that of this more than a fourth, or $75,000, was on First ward property. Victor Vifquain of this city filed a state- ment in the secretary of state's office to- day showing that he expended $20.08 in the interests of his candidacy for the fu- #lon gubernatorial nomination. Of this amount §9 was for hotel accommodations at Grand Island, $5.56 was for raliroad fare to and from Grand Island and the bal- ance, $5.50, was for badges and headquar- ters expenses. Congressman W. L. Stark captured a re- nomination in the Fourth district without any expenditure whatever. Claude Smith of Dawson county, who was nominated by the fusionists for superintendent of pub- llc instruction, boasts of having landed the prize without cost or promise.

JACOBS GOES BACK ON PLAN Refu Pro- Accident assoclation of Gets a Wife and Money to Help U der Mystery. avel Mar- LINCOLN, July 2.—(Special Telegram.) —When George Jacobs was taken in cus- tody in Omaha early in April on the charge of committing highway robbery in this city he told Chief Donahue and a Lincoln de- tective that it treated leniently he would assist in unraveling the John J. Gillil murder mystery. He claimed that “‘Bunch’ Jackson, an inmate of a Lincoln resort, had told him that Gillllan was murdered by Charles E. Hayward and Al Beard. Hayward at that time was in jail on the murder charge. It was arranged for Ja- cobs to come back to Lincoln, waive pre- liminary examination and be bound over. In the county jall Jacobe was to work into the confidence of Hayward and strive to get informatioa from him that would lead to conviction. The plan was thus far car- ried out, but its consummation was pre- vented by the publication of the story in an Omaha paper. “Bunch” Williams, hear- ing of the plan in this way, contrived to be arrested herself and was bound over to the district court and committed to jail. In the jail she managed to “tip" oft the scheme to Hayward. Then she sent down to her resort in the reservation, summoning Elizabeth Rieger, an . inmate. The woman came to her without delay and a privae consultation was held. Then the woman was sent for an Interview with Jacobs and soon money was forthcoming, some of it being sent by J. E. Whiteling of Gerardie, Kan., proprietor of a dance hall, in whicy Beard was arrested several years ago for safe cracking. A month ago Ja- cobs and the Rieger woman were married in the county judge's office. The plot to defeat the plan of the au- thorities was brought to light today, when Jacobs was brought down from the county Jail tor trial oo another robbery chary He sotified the officers that the deal was off and that they would bave to look else- where for evidence agalnst Hayward. By keeping silent he was taken by the woman in marriage and received in various ways a considerable supply of money. The police claim that the county jail aue thorities have allowed their prisoners too much freedom and that by permitting the marriage they have defeated their trap for Hayward. Hayward, however, is still un- der arrest. SUN SHINES ON CHAUTAUQUA Large Crowd Lis to Able Address by Rabbi Simon of Omaha.

Of the offenders 413 were of American birth, the next largest number of offenders belng Italians. Sixty-three per cent of those arrested | were convicted. The report records the fact that during the flscal year but one dangerous spurious mote was put in cir- culation, a $6 silver certificate, while there was only one other even passable counter- teit, a $1 silver certificate, whose makers, with their complete plant, were captured in Chicago the same day they attempted to put one of their notes into circulation. The report refers to marked improvement in the New York district, where the circu- lation of “all-silver counterfeit coins has been reduced more tham 80 per cent as compared with the previous year. Reference 1s made to the continued activity among criminals who make . the “raising” of motes a speclalty and it s pointed out that this crime might be pre- vented by the adoption of a distinctive size for the notes of smaller denominations— the ones and tw, t0 be, say an Inch shorter and one-half in¢h narrower than those of $5 or over.
