Freedmen's Ald and Southern Educational welety today spent a busy time apportion mg out money for the various schools under ts jurisdiction. This occasioned much mrangling and lots of talk, with the res that only a few of the schools got as much money as they had asked for.

It 1s with considerable anxiety that the People in this part of the state are await- Ing the decision of the supreme court eom- missioners regarding the constitutionality ®f the revenue law enacted by the late legislature. Owing to the importance of the matter, it is more than likely that the comminsioners will take the full time al- lowed, and' not make a report until the next sitting of the court. If this is done, f course another day would have to be et for the discussion before the supreme sourt in order to give the attorneys in the ease an opportunity to prepare their briefs. ‘While there are many who fear the out- come of the suit, belleving that it will be the wind-up of the mew law, over which %0 many weary nights and days were #pent, Governor Mickey is one of the op- tmistie kind, “It would be little short ‘of the wonderful it a law'ltke that was enacted without there being some flaws iIn it that would require the courts to straighten out. But even if some of the sestions are found to be uncomstitutional, that may not affect the entire law, and in my opinion the law in the madin' will he found all right. And even if the entiré law is knoeked out, we still have the old law to fall back on, and the next law makers will know how to avold the mistakes made in this one.” The governor refused to state whether he would ¢all an extra session of the legis- lature to frame d new law if this one was knocked out. “I will await the decision of the court,” he said, ‘‘before worrying about the extra session.’” ‘Widow Sues for Property. In Judge Frost's court this morning fttle, old, faded Ger: woman_sat_on W witness stand all day, telling in a tear. tdl voles of how she came into her sitting room last March and saw her husband sit- ng on the floor dying and of the trouble the two had gone through because of the Interference - of . her son-in-law. She was Mrs. Henry Buettggenbach and she Is try. mg to save of her husband’s estate suffi- slent to keep her the remainder of her lays. Those who are opposing her are her ten children, to whom the husband and father guve all his money at is death, cut- tng off the widow and one daughter with s dollar each. The estate is valued at about 16,000, The woman told how forty-six years ago the and her husband settled near Lincoln on the unbroken prairie and that while her husband dfove the first plow In this part of the country she planted corn. Soon her busband tired of turning over the new soll, she said, and she began to do all the work and he began to make frequent trips to aces where liquor could be secured and ihat during all the forty-six years both had kept Well. to their work.

Sherift Power was down the other day and told the ' governor that O'Brien was suffering with rheumatism and would not make a desirable inmate of the penitentiary. The governor, however, re- fused to interfere with the court's decree at this time and the sheriff was told to bring on the prisoner and he would serve the state while the governor made a per- sonal investigation Nothing td Do with Gues: The Hastings people who wanted to start a guessing contest with prizes to the best guessers, will not do so by permission of the State Banking board, because the board decided this afternoon that it had no juris- dlction In the matter. The scheme was to organize a company with a capital stock of %0000 and the people were to pay so much a guess at the number of people who attepded the 8t. Louls fair on the first day. A cdpital prize of $10,000 headed the Itst and besides there were these prizes: one $1,000; fifty $100 each; one hundred $20 each; 200 $10 each and 700 $ each.

Each on being searched had a revolver in his possession and when questioned as to who they were and where they came from, nelther would tell. When Information was received by the police from York about two runaways, the boys weakened and seemed very peni- tent, promising If furnished tickets they would return home where they wanted to go. They were put on the first train to York, and nothing more has been heard from them. Somewhere between here and Lincoln, they left the train. They are the sons of respectable well to do parents who are anxious to learn thelr whereabouts. Independent Telephone Confere FREMONT, Neb., Nov. 10.—(Special.)— About twenty-five representatives of in- dependent telephone companies in eastern and southeastern Nebraska met here this afternoon for the purpose of perfecting plans for better service and .more perfect co-operation amohg the different independ- ent companies. Over forty towns can be reached by the lines of these companies. At present there is no fixed schedule of toll rates. All the companies report an increasing demand for connections with outside towns and their local business in a satistactory condition.

MONDELL GETS THE COVETED COMMITTEE Representative Barke of South Da- kota Interviews Commissioner Jomes on Gregory County Indian Lands, | (From a Staft Correspondent.) | WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—(Special Tele- | gram.)—There {s a disposition on the part | of the Nebraska delegation, that !s the | repub’ican members, to meet in friendly | consultation and it possible bring about unanimity of action looking to legislation in which the state is Interested. Represen- tative Burkett, who Is the senior member of the delegation, is naturally expegted to call his colleagues together. It developed today that an effort was made several times during the summer to get the mem- bers of the lower house from Nebraska to- gether for a conference, particularly with a view of agreeing upon committee assign- ments. Business, courts and other matters interfered, however, with the meetings and the new members from Nebraska never met as had been planned. Now the new members are at sea. All of them naturally desire advantageous committee assign- ments, but when two or more are asking for the same place somebody Is bound to get left. This is Nebraska's position. It is anticipated that Speaker Cannon will be very conservative in his committee as- signments, looking to his lleutenants to ald him in declding upon the relative merits of rival candidates for the same place. In order to present & united front the Ne- braska members contemplate getting to- gether this week with a view of agreeing upon the committee places Nebraska of right should obtain, In view of the changed conditions over that in the Fiffy-seventh | congress. Then there were four democrats and two republicans. Now the delegation stands five republicans ami one democrat, a percentage of gain which has not becn exceeded by any other state. Mondell to Get Chatrmanship. The appointment of Representative Reeder of Kansas as chafrman of the house the appointment of Congressman Mondell of Wyoming, as chairman of the committee on irrigation. Reeder was the ranking re- publican member of the latter committee and expected to secure the chairmanship, but having Yeen given one chairmanship he cannot expect another. Mondell being | probability, succeed to the chairmanship | of ‘rrigation. Wants More Money for Indians. Representative Burke called on Indian Commissioner Jones this afternoon and had an extended conference with that official relative to his bill looking to the opening of zome 50,00 acres of land in Gregory county, South Dakota. Mr. Burke pro- posed that the government pay the Indians a lump sum for their lands based upon a valuation of $2.50 per acre. Commissfoner Jones does not think this an equitable sum and belleves the Indlans should receive at least $5 per acre. Dakota Bailding Bills, Congressman Burke today Introduced bills providing an appropriation of $175,000 for the purchase of a site and the erection of a federal bullding in each of these South Dakota cities: Huron, Mitchell and Wa town, Postal Matters.

Répresentative Hitchcock of the Becond Nebraska district proposes to enjoy every hour he has to spend in Washington as one of the nation's law makers. He has had his splendid team of horses sent on from Omaha, together with the family car- rlage. His coachman is also here. When soclal fanctions are at their helght G. M. Hitchcock will be found on the top crest and when the Hitchcock carriage is called it will be a real affair and not a hired flacre which many congressmen and not a few senators are compelled to employ in order to properly perform soclal obli- | gations devolving upon them. Congressman McCarthy of the Third dis- trict filed a petition today, signed by 125 families asking for the establishment of a rural free delivery route out of Lindsay, | Platte county.

Sarpy County Must Pay. PLATTSMOUTH, Neb, Nov. 10.—(Spe- clal.)—Lee Herdman, clerk of the supreme court, has another guess or two coming In the first place, he informed County At- torney Root here that the supreme court had affirmed the decision of the lower court in the case of Cass county against Barpy county, in which the plaintift sought to compel the defendant to pay for one- halt the expense of repalring the foot and wagon bridge which spans the Platte river at Loulsville, but now hs declares that “Former judgment vacated; judgment of the district court reversed,” which means that Sarpy county will have ta foot the bill for half the expenses of keeping the bridge in repairs. z See Brilliant Meteors. PAPILLION, Neb, Nov. 10.—(Speclal)— Last night about 7 o'cloek, the people of Paplllion beheld a brilllant celestial phe- nomenon. A ball of fire of quite large size appeared high In the sky, northeast of here, remained stationary for about two minutes, then fell, taking a westerly course and leaving a long, flery train of light and exploding before reaching the ground. This had hardly disappeared when another one of & vivid crimson color, although smaller, sped along In Its track, followed very closely by a small one. It was not known at first how to account for the spectacle, but the opinion is that they were meteors. Battle Creel Business Changes. BATTLE CREEK, Neb, Nov. 10.—(Spe- clal)—The Battle Creek Republican, after a laborious existence of ten years and twenty-five weeks, has suspended publica- tlon. The Republican was established by Lee Pryor, now of Newman Grove, Neb., and was afterwards taken by C. F. Mon- tross, who has since been editor and pub- lisher.
