The sult is a friendly one brought to test the constitutionality of the law, at the yuggestion of Governor Mickey, who made the stipulation when he signed the bill The bill passed both the house and the senate In regulay order, but in the en- ing room, by some oversight, it was :old up and did not recelve cither the sig- pature of Speaker Mockett or the presi- fent of the senate, McClay dug up the bill after the session had adjourned and At his solicitation Governor Mickey signed It with the understanding that suit would be brought to test its constitutionality be- fore any contract was let for the bullding f the monument.

Governor Mickey has returned to Lin- coln after an unsuccessful attempt to reach Muscatine, Ia., there to address a conterence of the Methodist church._ He was prevented from reaching His destina- ton by a wreck near Beymour, Ia. The tender flew the track and drew off with it the mail car, baggage car and o passenger soach. The sleeper upon which the gov- ernor was riding did not leave the track. One hundred feet from where the train Jeft the track, sald the governor, was a high embankment which the train would have undoubtedly gone over had the Wreck ocourred there. The governor managed to got back to Fairfield and home this morn- ing. The accldent occurred shortly after midnight Baturday. No one was Injured. Injured by Falling Skylight. In the presence of his wife and her sister, Frank Becley, a postal clerk running be- tween here and Omaha, was dangerously Injured late this afternoon by being struck on the head by a heavy plece of glass that fell from the skylight in the Ewing Clothing company store on O street.

BSeeley and his (tu a hospital in the police ambulance and wite were in the store making some pur- chases when he was injured. The sky- light had been broken and fastened with boards some time previous. One of the boards gave way allowing a heavy plece of glass to fall. Admission Fee at Penitentlary. For the first time In several years admis- slon was charged visitors to the state peni- tentlary during the state fair. Over 3,00 persons pald 10 cents each to get In and look 4t the unfortunates. Warden Beemer made the order to charge admission to all parties who were not armed with a pass signed by the governor, or without the sanction of the Board of Public Lands and Bulldings. It 18 thought, however, that no member of the board will seriously object to parties paying thelr way In, Inasmuch as two extra guides had to be employed to show visitors through, as one day over 700 people called there. Years ago it cost &5 cents to be shown through the Institution, but the admission fee was abolished several Years ago. Live Stock I nee, The Phoenix Mutual Live Stock Insur- ance company is a new Institution recog- nized by the Insurance department of the auditor's office.

Out in Hall county a merry school con- (M is belng waged In school district No. " { 6 and already several fights have occurred _» and the case has gone through the district court and is now in the supreme court. It is all over an attempt to move the chool house & mile from its present sife. The school has been located at its present site for the last fifteen years, but, according to the brief of the appellant, Joslah Ladd, on June 30, 1002, at the annual meeting in #sald district it was voted to “move the #choolhouse to the northeast corner of the northeast one-fourth.af section 19, town- «bip 10, range 10" Eighteen votes were cast for the removal and seven against it. The brief stated that at no ti ever any further des gnation given nor wi there any direction given for the purchase of & site nor for the expenditure of money for the removal. The brief sald there had Wn much con- tention regarding the location of the sehoolhouse for some time. A vote was taken to remove the school and carrled, though prevented by Injunction. At the meoting, the brief said, many fights oc- curred and much bitter feeling was shown. The appellant belleves that the school is most conveniently located now for the benefit of the puplls attending and brands the attempt to move the bullding as self- ishness on the part of those who want it nearer their homes. He prays the court to make the Injunction perpetual. Mikmen Win First Ro 3 Robert J, Flick, charged by Food Com- missioner Thompson with selling skim milk that falled to contain suficient but- ter fat, was discharged in Justice Risser's court this morning, and thus the first bat- tie with the milk men has been won by them.

In all there are twelve more cases to be tried, some of which are for selling milk adulteratel with formaldehyde. School Atten The public sehools of Lincoln opened this morning with an attendance largely In excess of last year. The attendance is now over 1,00. No classes will be heard until tomorrow. One of the features added this year that is expected to be of much benefit to the puplls is the diningroom, where the puplis can buy hot lunches. This I8 in charge of the Woman's club and is new and clean from start to finish. It is located in the basement of the old bu ld ng. The opening of school, it was thought for a while, would make a scarcity of mes- senger boys, but the manager of both the Postal and the Western Unfon Telegraph companies and the managers of depart ment stores sald that while most of their help had quit, enough applications had been received during the last few days to take all the vacant places, ce Increases. Street Rallway Taxes Ag The city of Lincoln gnd the Lincoln Trac- tion company are at N‘A‘nln aver the col- lection of taxes alleged to be due the city by the traction compfiny. It is in the su- preme court now under the title of the State ex rel ldncoln Traction company. New York Becurity and Trust company and the New York Guaranty and Indemnity company against E. P. Holmes, judge of the district court of Lancaster county. The plaintiffs ask the supreme court for a mandamus to compel Judge Holmes to vacate the restraining order issued by him n August to prevent the sale of the prop- ‘erty at the instance of the second. lien holder, the New York Security and Trust company. The case will be argued and sub- mitted before the whole court at the first session of the September term, to be held tdmorrow. The ground of the application is the fall- ure of the city to file a supersedeas bond to stay the operation of the order for a sale which had been granted when the man- date from the supreme court reached the district court in the appeal case In which the city lost. There was no application to the court to fix the bond according to the petition flled this morning In the supreme court and there was no action on the part of the court fixing the amount of its own motion. For this reason it is claimed that there has been no supersedeas, since the order of the court restraining the sale of the property is of itself not a stay bond sufficlent ta stop the sale of the property. Held for Abandonment. George H. Englehart was bound over to the district court this afternoon in the sum of $300 under the abandonment law passed by the last legislature. Englehart is mar- ried and is accused by Maggle Eberly with betng the father of her child, which he de- serted as soon as it was born. Englehart denies the charge.

It was announced at the Interior depart-| ment today that Charles Joseph Bonaparte had accepted the invitation of Secretary Hitcheock to take charge of the investiga- tion of certain Indian Territory affairs and offictals under the jurisdiction of the De-| partment of the Interior. The scops of the investigation will be sufficiently compre- hensive to embrace all statements within the knowledge of the Interior department, including all that have appeared in the public press and all other matters that may at any time come to the notice of the in- vestigating officlals which in any respect reflect upon the officlal character, conduct or acts of the Dawes commiss.on or any member thereof and the inspector for the Indian Territory. While these are primarily the objects of the investigation, it is understood that it would be extended to such other persons and things in the Indian Territory over which the Interior department has super- vision as may be deemed by Mr. Bona- parte to be for the welfare of the service or as may be referred to him by the sac- retary of the Interior.

The following brigade commanders are announced: Generals Grant, Bell, Barry and Carr, United States army, and General Hughes of the Kansas National guard. Major Coffin will command the divisional artillery, It was found as a result of last year's maneuvers that for the maneuvering of large bodies of men in the working out of tactical operations, the present reservation, large as it is, is inadequate. The War de- partment has,succeeded in obtaining the written ‘consent of 140 land owners adjom- ing the reservation whose aggregate hold- ings amount to seventy square miles or 44,- 229 acres to the military authorities enter- ing upon and occupying their holdings whenever it may become necessary to do so in the prosecution of the maneuvers this yea ‘Wants Fort Leavenworth Isolated. Genéral C. W. Miner, recently command- ant of the General Service and Staff col- lege at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., in his an- nual report to the War department recom- mends that the post of Fort Leavenworth be set apart as an independent department and that the course of Instruction be ex- tended to two years. He also recommends a change In the stem of marking. The annual report of Major General Bates, commanding the Department of the Lakes, was given out for publication today. It says that the character and general physi- cal status of recruits Is not up to stand- ard of former years. The number of un- developed youths appeared particularly noticeable. There were 334 enlisted men tried by general court-martial, an increase of twenty-two over last year. One hun- dred and eighteen of the men tried belonged to other departments. Of the total number tried, 342 were convicted and eleven ac- quitted. In the cases of four, the sen- tences were disproved. Two hundred men were convicted for desertion. The report concluded with an urgent requisition for a military prison. Beavers Summons Payne, (eorge Beavers, the former chief of the division of salaries and allowances, Post- office deparmnent, retained a local lawyer ds consul.

Beaver's counsel, In connection with the legal requirements, tendered the postmaster general the prescribed fees and mileage ex- pended recessary for the trip, which the postmaster general declined to accept, ex- plaining that it was impracticable for him to go to New York at that time. Mr. Payne asserts confidence in the clos- ing of the Investigation by the early part of October. The federal grand jury which has been investigating the postal investiga- tlon cases, resumed its sessions today, ex- amined several witnesses and adjourned un- 1l tomorrow. It s understood that among other evidence regarding the administration of the office of the assistant attorney gen- eral for the Postoffice department prior to the investigation is belng placed before the grand jury.

W.—Harry Mc- COWIN TURNS OVER CASH| | square miles; Elmoyle, a Leigh Coal and~ Navigation eompany deputy, during the recent anthra- cite coal strike, was placed on trial here today for the murder of Patrick Sharpe, union miner, which occurred during the strike at Nesquehony, Pa. SHAW TO PUNISH THE BANKS Those Which Withdraw Circulation Cannot Have Government Deposits WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.—Sccretary Shaw has returned to Washington. It is said that he at once began the consideration of measures to punish those banks which have been withdrawing their circulation and thereby interfering with the orderly de- velopment of the secretary's financial pol- fcy, und that he will place these banks on a “black list” and refuse to make any more such deposits as they now have in their keeping. At any rate, Secretary Shaw is credited with a determination to show them that he does not approve of their rush to with- draw circulation just at this time, when the money is most needed In the movement of the crops and in fall business generally. As s00n as the secretary's announcement was made that he had a fund of $10,000,000 which he could use in case of emergency to prevent any unusual stringency In the money market in crop-moving time, govern- ment bonds began to rise. Many banks having bonds on deposit with the comptroller of the currency to se- cure thelr circulation, began applying to retire their circulation, so that they could sell thelr bonds at present high prices. The law fixes a limit of $3,000,000 as the maximum amount that can be retired in any one month. That limit for September and October already has been reached and, at the close of business Saturday, Treas- urer Roberts had recelved applications for the month of November to the amount of $1,727,400. Such rapld retirement of circulation just at this time might produce serious results if the Treasury department were mnot in such good condition as to afford assistance, should it become necessary. But Secretary Shaw does not like to have his hand forced this way by the banks, and the result probably will be that those banks which have been in such haste to sell their bonds hereafter will be denied favors from the Treasury department, such as the priv- flege and prestige of holding government funds. Heretofore almost no restrictions have been placed on applications, but hereafter the comptroller of the currency will require banks to make formal application through the proper officials, and confirm this by a resolution of the board of directors. The comptroller will insists that only applics tions made in good falth will be placed on the list, and it is belleved the requirement that the directors must first act—something not heretofore required—will tend to limit the number of applications.

Kvery phase of the subject of irrigation will be discussed, and the closely | allied subject of colonization of the great | plains and ranges of the west will receive great attentjon. Speclal lllustrations of | what irrigation is doing for the west will | not be lacking. From all quarters are com- ing large exhibits of grain and frults, grown in sofl that a few years ago was considered utterly useless, to compete for the rich prizes and valuable cups offered, and the horticultural exhibit bids fair to be one of the most unique as well as most elabor- ate ever shown. Even from across the great American desert, drawn in six “pral- rie schooners,” 1s coming an exhibit of frult and grain grown in the midst of alkall wastes. Practical {llustrations of methods of irrigation will be given and a good part of one day will be devoted by the delegates to this feature. Another im- portant subject that will come up is the Question of affillation with the Trans- mississippl congress, and it Is expected that before the congress adjourns some definite action will be taken.
