SUDBOROUGH CASE IN SUPREME COURT State Board Ag for Comstraction Work at the Penttentiary—New Corporation~ (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Aug. 1.—(Special)—A. G. Wolfenbarger of this city, coming in the capacity of a friendly attorney, filed in the supreme court an elaborate brief detending the Nebraska Home company agalnst the prosecution instituted by the attorney general to prevent it from doing business in this state. The contention of the attorney genmeral is that the company is conducting a fraudulent investment busines It was the first case of the kind lostituted in this state. The friendly attorney begins his brief by referring to the attorney general's ar- adds: only one of thcse corporate forms around which ‘clubter thousands of earnest men and women, intelligent enough to Know what - they are doing, knowing well the contratts they are making, scanning the number of thelr contract before they sign and adopt it as their own; no chance, but cholce; no ftraud, but well-defined al no robbery, but a storing up of fun agalnst the day of need; no favoritism, but that advantage which comes al'ke to all who unite with those who work for all eby profit from the common her- Pank Excepts to Ruling. The attorneys for the Unfon Stockyards National bank, in a case with the Board of Commissioners of Thurston county, have . protested agalnst the recent holding of the supreme court regarding the absolute necessity of having bills of exceptions properly certified to before they can be brought up for review. In this particular case the court held that “A pretended Bill of excoptions-containing the evidence before the Board of County Comissidners at the hearing was filed’ with the petition | fo error, but this bill of exceptions does all the evidence hearing of such proceeding nor does it appear to be signed, settled and allowed by the pre- siding officer of the Board of County Com- missioners. The bill could not and should not have been considered by the learned trial judge in determining whether or mot the evidence Introduced at the hearing was suficient to support its finding The fallure of the persén drawing up the record to have it properly certified was the basis of the decision, and now the attorneys for the bank seek a re- consideration. They contend the omission was not suggested by any authorized at- torney in the case and therefore should Dot have been passed upon by the court., The Pacific Express company, throug its attorney, makes a vigorous replysto the argument and petition of Thomas K. Sudborough, Who is suink ivi G : false imprisonment. This case arose from the arrest of Sudborough on the charge of embezzlement of the company's funds . He was acquitted and soon after ‘began the suit for damaj In the lower court a judgment was given for the de- fendant company. It 1Is contended that the findings and judgment of the lows county court were conclusive evidence of probable cause and that for this reasom, s well for others presented, the judg: ment o th ‘e6igre sheuld be afirm " Adjourn to Take fn Show.

BUSINESS FOR HALF A YEAR Western Markets Show Small Decrease in Oomparison with Other Years. INCREASED DEMAND FOR MEAT PRODUCTS (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.—(Special)—The commercial movement of the great staple commodities produced in the interior of the country are necessarily subject to something of a lull during the midsummer transition from ome crop year to another. There s, nevertheless. in/the data col- lected by the treasury bureau of statistics, on internal commerce up to the end of June, an opportunity 'for half-year com- parisons of commercial movements, such as those of live stock, graln, provisions and produce. The five western live stock markets of Chicago, Kansas City, Omaba, St. Louls and St. Joseph, taken as an in- dex of the trade genbrally, report total re- ceipts of meat-producing stock, including cattle, hogs and sheep, between January 1 and June 30 inclusive, of 14,766,856 head. This was 700,283 head less than for the corresponding period of 1901, and 347,692 head less than for 1800. Taking the Chieago market as typical, the monthly average welght of eattle has begun to recover from the lower level of 940 pounds per head in April. In May the average welght rose to 957 pounds and in June to 964 pounds per head. The average welght of hogs is llkewise recovering, but the numerical supply is still nearly 1,000,- 000 short.of the receipts for the first half of 1801. ¢ nerease in Consumption. A rough gauge of the increase in the consuming demand for meats is found in the trunk line shipmenmts of provisions from Chicago and Chicago points, These ship- ments go primarily eastward from the cen- ters of production in the interior and sec- ondarily southward. For the first twenty- six weeks of this year 652,217 tons of pro- visions entered into this movement, com- pared with 572,15 tons last year. The gain of 13.8 per cent over last year amounted to an average of 3,064 tons per week more than the weekly demand for 1901. The five markets reporting stocks of cut meats had, in round numbers, 245,000,000 pounds of cut meats in stock at the end of June, 1902, against 311,000,000 pounds for the corre- sponding date in 1901. This is a decrease of 312 per cent. At Chicago the stocks were over 15,000,000 pounds below the level of a year ago. At the four other packing centers reporting there was a reduction of 51,000,000 pounds or 29.1 per cent from the basis of supply available at the end of June. 1901. . On the Great Lakes. Domestic frelght receipts at 155 ports re- porting in June were 7,442,982 tons, com- pared with 7,062,541 tons in June, 1901 Shipments from 224 ports in June this year amounted to 7,747,871 tons, against 7,201,208 tons in June, 1901.

Iron ore ship- ments to the end of June this year totaled 8,127,271 tons, compared with 4,467,276 tons t year. ¥ Atlantio and Gulf Ports. Shipping operations at New York for the first six months of this year give the total number of vessels arriving as 5915, of which 3,770 vessels were engaged in the coasting trade and 23,145 in the foreign trade. At Philadelphia there were 2,441 arrivals, of which 1,823 were eagaged in the coasting trade and 618 in forelgn trade.

FARNAM, Neb, Aug. 1.—(Special.)—The crop of emall grains In this locality is harvested and the threshing machines are busy. < The wheat, rye, oats and barley are of excellent quality and the yleld enor- mous. So far as heard from the yield of winter wheat is from thirty-five to forty bushels per, acre, rye thirty to thirty-five and some phenomenal figures for oats. Some farmers are stacking their grain, but the large majority will .thresh from the shock. The grain 18 very ripe and the threshing would be easy but for the frequent showers that Interrupt and delay the work. Prices for the gralns are satistactory and, for the first time in three years here, the farmer is being pald for his invest- ment. The crop far exceeds in acreage and quality the crop of 1891. Corn is in fine condition and the acreage is large. Just now it is menaced by the “hoppers,” which are very much in evi- dence. Following the Instructions of Prof. Bruner of the University ot Nebraska, sys- tematic and selentific effort is being made to_exterminate the pest. If the hoppers can be subdued the corn crop probably will be the largest this locality ever pro- duced, and, when gatbered, will leave the producers in fairly good circumstances. The wild hay is plentiful. New hay is being sold on the market at $2.50 per ton delivered. The pastures are in better con- ditlon than ever before at this season, and the stock farmers point with pride to their fat cattle. With a ressonable amount of rain the soll here 1s capable of producing prodigi- ously large orops. Shopman Inj t Plattsmouth.
