WYMORE, Neb,, Sept. 18.—~(Special Tele- gram.)—The session of the Methodist con- ference was opened by Mr. and Mrs. Bev- eridge, the temperance lecturers and sing- ers, who have dome much good for the cause, Their song service and lecture was much enjoyed by the large audience. Rev Charles A. Crane, D. D., of Boston was on the program for the temperance anniversary sermon, but he was unable to be present and the pulpit was filled by Rev. Baldwin of Fairbury and Rev, Shepard of Nebraska City. Both are able speakers and their ad- dresses were of much interest. Rev. Henry O.

LINCOLN, Sept. 18.—(8pecial.)—The legal astuteness of the attorneys who de- vised the certificate {ssued to every member of the Burlington Voluntary Rellef depart- ment was vindicated today in a decision bhanded down by ' the supréme court, in which its double mction character was sustained. The suit was one brought by the widow of Granville Oyster, an engineer | killed in a wreck near Oxford in 1894, She sued as his administratrix for $5,000 dam- some years ago and secured a judgment for the full amount. This was pald after long litigation. Oyster had been a member of the re- et department and his certificate therein ran to his wife as beneficlary. In the suit against the company Itself Mrs. Oyster had not made herself a party, but prose- cuted the action for the benefit of their minor children alobe. After the money was paid her as administratrix she brought BENEDICT, Neb., Sept. 18.—(Special)— It 1s estimated that from 75,000 to 150,000 bushels, and perhaps more, of grain will be hauled away from Benedict and shipped over the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missourd | Valley raiiroad at York and Thayer, and the Union Pacific railroad at Stromsburg There are 250 indignant well-to-do farmers, who, unless the B. & M. railroad grants right-of-way privileges threaten to boycott the grain dealers at Benmedict, and as the facts are becoming known the threatened boycott may be a sympathetic boycott over the entire northern part of York county, which would mean that thousands upon thousands of bushels of York county grain in B. & M. territory would be shipped over competing lines, which Is all due to a supposed grievance against the B. & M. rallroad and Benedfct elevator men, whom they believe used unfalr means to prevent the locating of an independent farmers' elevator at Benedict, 1t cleans the most delicate fabrics— but never injures Swift & Company Incorporates. REPORT TO THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY an action to recover for herself from the reliet department of the railroad company. This sult was very warmly defended by the railroad company, whose attorneys In- sisted that it was only a clever dodge to collect twice from it for the killing of the same man. To this it was answered that the other judgment was for the benefit of the children alone, while this was for the widow alone, Every employe of the Burlington iu these departments where danger to lite and Hmb fs, for all practical purposes, required 10 join the relief department and contribute & part of his wages to a common fund out | of which all death claims and disability allowances are pald. If there Is a deficit the company makes it good. It is no part of & man's contract that he join this de- partment, but all of them do as a mat- ter of job—insurance. A provision of the certificate 1s that If one accepts the benefits thereunder he cannot maintain a sult against the company for damages or If he sues the company he forfelts the right to recetve anything upon the certificate. The supreme court has previously held that these provislons are valld and en- forcible, but this case presented some new features. The court, however, brushes aside the points raised by Mrs. Oyster's attorneys and decides in favor of the relfef | department. It says that Mrs. Oyster can- not take advantage of the fact that she omitted to name herself as one of the plaintifts in the damage suit against the company. next of kin sharers in the ' proceeds or avalls of that action, and the fact that she omitted to name herselt as a party plaintift individually is pot a bar to her participating in the judement secured. and that if she has not received any of it she b good cause of action against herself as administratrix for not dolng so, It. holds that she must take the relief certifi- cate with all of the conditions imposed by it or not at all. It 8 also held that where the full penalty recoverable under the law has been im- posed upon a rallroad company for unlaw- fully killing-an employe holding a relief certificate no action can be maintained upon that certificate Other Decinions of Court. In the case of H. H. Meck agalnst Wii- llam C. Lange, an appeal from Clay county, the court held that an executory contract for the sale of a farm homestead, to which the wite had not been a party, was Invalld, and the non-performance of it will not fur- nish a basis upon which to Tecover damages for loss of a bargain, J. B. Brooks, district clerk of Pawnee county, 1s the loser by $229 In the case brought agaimst him by Belle Robertson, Mrs. Robertson held a second mortgage on some property in Pawnee county. The first mortgagee foreclosed. Mrs. Robertson was made a party, but did not appear in the suit. There was a balance of $229 left after satistying the first mortgage and costs. This money was pald over by the clerk to, the mortgagor, - Mrs. Robertson later appeared and claimed it, but the mortgagor was be- yond the reach of an execution. The su- preme court says that Mrs. Robertson had @ clear right to the money, that the fact she dld not appear foreclosed her of any right In the real ostate; butrnot in the su plus, and action to secure this could be maintained against the clerk. Horse d Know Better. According to the decision of the supreme court In the damage suit brought by Moses Roberts of Johnson county against the Bur- lington, a horse has no - business to get scared at a rallway handear. He was in- jured in a rusaway at Graf some years ago, his team beéoming frightened at the sud- den appearance of a hdndcar from behind an elevator. Roberts secured a judgment in the lower court, hut the supreme court reverses this as erroneous and holds the company blameles: Commissioner Pound, in bis opinion, sald: The ordinary o one cf the Incidents of a horses must become used to such appli- ances as to the many others with which .modern highwauys abound. <In this era of 2 automoblles, troliey cars, traction nd steam fire -nl(n s we oannot of the horse as the measure in a highway.

Sheriff Jomes had telephoned Sherifft Mencke early in the evening and he was taken immediately to the jail and €0 quietly that but a few are aware tonight that the Plerce county murderer is here. He was given a supper of toast, poached | eggs and coftee, which he ate with a relish. Dr. Langstaff was summoned and dressed his wounds, which consist of one twenty- two-calibre bullet through the flesh of the left thigh, one of the same size through his left arm and a number of shot In his left arm and upper part of his body. His face end one side of his head has about a dozen | shot wounds and one in the upper 1id of his {right eye.

To all appearances Neigenfind cculd get up and make a first-class break for lib- erty yet, as he wees his legs well in mov- ing the cover around. Sheriff Jones did not have any irons om him, and when asked if he was afraid of bim trylng to get away, he said: I guess not tonight.
