Land Commissioner Follmer is preparing to secure evidence from the state records @8 a basls of a sult which he proposes to begin against the various rallroads of the state to compel reimbursement for the edu- cational lands they have taken for right of way. The amount that may be recovered will probably run up' to a large figure, In every township in the state two sec- tions have been set apart for school pur- poses. These are sections 3 and 16. Where the railroad constructs a road through an entire section. from twenty to thirty acres of land is taken, varying with the direction which the road takes. Nearly 6,000 miles of road have been constructed in the state by the various railroads, and with the ex- coption of the first track of the Union Pa- clfic, the roads run thwough school sections. In the case of thé' main Iife of the Union Pacific, which was constructed before the state was admitted Into the union, the state has the right to claim the lands elsewhere for the lands that were taken out of sec- ' tions 16 and 3 for the raliway rights of way, The amount of land wkich was lost to the state because of the construction of this road has never been computed. This 18 one of the tasks which Mr. Follmer has outlined for his busy workers. To get at the amount of land taken Mr. Follmer's assistants will go through the records of the office and examine the avall- able plata of rallway locations. By this means an estimate of the land taken and the value of it can be determined. Just what procedure will be adopted for the col- Jection of the money from the rallways has not been definitely fixed, but no troubls in gotting the money s anticipated by the de- partment. It is belleved that the raflways will pay the money due without demur when they see that the land commissioner means business. ‘The Jagt report. of the.land commissloner. showa that -more than 8,000 acres are un- avallable, a considerable portion of which is supposed to have been included in rail- way rights of way. The total land granted to the state originally was 2,368,620 acres. The Nortfyestern rallway has been pay- Ing the money due for the land taken for several years, and owes a comparatively emall amount on that score, but the other roads in the state have made no returns at all. When the roads were bullt the land was taken without going through the tormalities prescribed by the statutes. The roads have been built during the thirty- five years since the admission of the state to the union. Many miles have been con- structed In that time in all parts of the state, and much valuable school land has been taken for rights of way. Mickey is Optimintic. Governor Mickey, who returned Thurs- fay from a trip over the state, during which he spoke at the junior normals at McCook and Alllance, observed closely the orop conditions and prospects, and declares bis conviction that If there is a late fall to help the corn mature “we will have one of the biggest crops we have ever had in Nebraska." “My judgment” sald he today, “Is that the big increase In the central and western parts of the state will make up for the Mlight decrease in the eastern portion. “Nebraska will, in my judgment, certain- ty have a big crop. In my trip up the Den- ver line of the Burlington to Brush, Colo., { found an fmmense crop of wheat, and the rleld good, being from ten to forty bushels " per acre. From Brush to Alllance, in the trrigated section, I found good crops. All pver the south and west parts of the state the hay crop is very good. Coming down the Billings line of the Burlington at or fear the west line of Custer county I found good crops of all kinds—wheat, oats, fye, alfalfa and wild hay crops the best sver raised in that part of the state, and sorn promising. “In thirty-five years' residence in Nebra: ka I have always found that when we have water in basins and lowlands we get a §00d crop of corn from the higher lands.” Laundry Girl Seeks Damage. Viola O. Barnell, residing at 220 South Pwentieth street, claims to have been the rictim of a blacklist she declares exists betwe:n the laundrymen of Lincoln, and today filed sult in district court against fule Brothers, proprietors of a clothes- mangling establishment, asking $5,000 dam- \gen. She says that an iron-clad agree- ment exists among the laundrymen of the city whereby no one quitting the tervice or being discharged from one Bundry can obtain employment at another inless he or she can present a letter from he last employer. Bhe says that recently she quit the se BECOMING A MOTHER | vice of Yule Brothers ana appited to other laundries for work. She was told that they could not employ her without a rec- ommendation from her late employers. She went back to them and asked for one. They gave her one, but In It she says the wrote. ““We have found her a disturbing element among help.” This, she avers in her petition, is libelous, scandalous and defamatory, as she never had any scrap with her fellow-workers. Ralve & New Pol | The question 1s raised in supreme court, In an appeal from Clay Center, whether a man wife owns property, while he does not, is eligible to sign the petition for a saloon license to issue. Out in Clay Center last spring the license men won, and a permit was grantsd Tim Hartnett and John Moran. A remonstrance was filed by the temperance element and was over- | ruled.

The Invitation also included the governor's staff, but owlng to the impossi- bility of getting the members of the lat- ter together on short notice steps have been taken to secure the attendance of | as many old soldiers as possible, and Ad- Jutant General Askwith of the Nebraska department of the Grand Army of the Re- public has issued an invitation to old sol- diers to join the party. The members of the Nebraska depart- ment will not be able to afford General Miles any substantial aid in his candidacy for grand commander of the Grand Army, as the department is pledged by resolution at the last state encampment favoring the candidacy of General John C. Black of Iilinols, pension commissioner during the first Cleveland presidential term. Articles of incorporation have been filed for the Combination Cattle company, with an authorized capital of $200,00), and the Star Ranch company, §75,000, both of Alli- ance and both incorporated by John C. An- keny, Willlam Mitchell and C. H. Tully. Report on Guardsmen, Adjutant General Culver‘has received a copy of the report made by Captain J. P. KKreps of the Twenty-second Infantry, sta- tioned at Fort Crook, after his inspection’ of the companles of the Nebraska National Guard stationed south of the Platte, and also the company at St. Paul. Extracts from that report are as follows: Complete records of the organization and properiy are kept in the adjutant general's office and appeared up to date. The exam- ination was hasty. All Inspections were under arms and, ex- cept five, in heavy marching order. The excepted ‘five had some part of equipment missing. No enicampments have been held in the state at state expense since 1901, as the appropriation for that purpose for 1%01-2 was all used up in one camp. The state authorities considered it more advantage- Ous to hold one ten-day encampment in 1901 than one of five days In each of the years 1901-2. The appropriations made by the state for its organized militla are not sufficlent to pay the armory expenses of the different organizations. ach receives $100 rAr year for this purpose and in some cases it covers the actual rent, but in no case the addi- tional expense 'of ljght, heat and janitor care. In consequent comparatively few of the organizations have storerooms se- cure enough for the valuable property stored therein. In all cases money must be raised by the organizations to cover expenses. The adjutant general is trying to arouse enough Interest in the guard to se the towns to bulid armories for their respective organisations. . e officers all show great Interest in their work, although In every case the Rgsition entalls more or less pecuniary loss.

There were no large losses in the Initial transactions and trading was not in large volume. On the other hand there were substantial gains. Canadian Pacific, concerning which fears of a corner were expressed last Saturday, opened with an advance of 2. London, from all accounts, bought considerable stock at the opening. A premium of % per cent was bid for Canadian Pacific until tomorrow. All sheets went through the stock ex- change clearing house this mornin The market quieted toward the end of the early session. Not all the early gains were lost, but trading lacked a distinct tone. In the special group some serlous losses were recorded.
