Nebraska WILLIAMS' CLEAN BILL USED ,Burlington Springs it in Case Where Fire Damages Are Urged. NORMAL BOARD WAR BEGINS tor Will Refuse to Recoxnise Vonchers of Members of New Body and Litigation Starts. Aw (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, April 13.~(Speeial.)~The Bur- lington raliroad this morning, through its general manager, G. W. Holdrege, took refuge behind a report made by J. A. Willtams, ex-rallway commissioner, when complaint was madé by Desta E. McCon- nell of damage to her property by reason of a bad crossing of the raliroad. The complaint of Mrs. McConnell was sent by the rallway commission to the Burlington for some action. This morn- ing Mr. Holdrege returned to the commis- sion a copy of an injunction secured by the Burlington against John McConnell, whom Mr, Holdrege sald he supposed was the husband of Mrs. Desta McConnell, to pre- vent him from destroying the railroad property and he also returned a report made by Judge Willlams of his investiga- tion of the McConnell report against the Burlington. In this report Mr. Willlams geve the Burlington & clean “bill. He said he had refully investigated Lhe complaint of Me- Connell of numerous fires started by the engines of the Burlington, but the fires complained of, the report sald, did not damage the property of McConnell. Fur- ther, the report sald, McConnell had re- fused to permit the rallrond to burn a fire guard on his land which abutted the right- of-way of the- railroad and this fudge Willlams held was necessary to prevent fires if the railroads continued to use codt n their engines, he report of Judge Willlame said fur. ther that when the commissioner reached Loe McConpell property and met the owner 1) dlecuss 118 complaint' MéConnell began to +bu ¢ and villify im because the commis- scn had given him no relief, when as a cr of fact the commission had done all i* toud do and the rallroad had done its beit to prevent fires. The request of the iolwed to burn a fire guard on the property of the individuals which joined Uie tallroad’s right-of-way, Judge Wil llams sald, was not, thought unreasonable Ly McConnell's neighbors. The McConnell femiiy lives near Somerset and the com- plalut of the head of the house was in- vestigated by Judge Willlarhs last October. Chance to Test New Law. An_ opportunity {s at hand to test the validity of the act-of the late legislature to charge %9 for listing with the secretary of state the resident agent of foreign cor- porations. Heretofore this charge has been nominal, 30 cents, but the late legisiature incrzased the fee to $0. ' So far one corpora- tion has paid the . increased fee. This morning an electrical company of Omaha sent down the name of its agent, who takes the place of its retiring agent, and the eompany falled (o send the nece sary $50 fee. The company has been noti- fled of the change in the law and the st~ ing of its new agent is held up pending the receipt of the 0. Valuation Law Includes Street Lines. If the street rallways of Omaha and Lincoln have an.ides.that.Segator Ransom edved them from the operations of the physidal valuation bill when he saved the banoe of ihe stock yards, they have an- other guess coming. Under. a ruling of the State Rallway commission the bill ap- street vallw The commission onstruction on this section: he term public-service corpor tioon when used i ‘this act shall mean and embrace every railroad, rallway, tele- graph, express, telephone and the railroad transportation propecty of stock yard companies.” The commission today mailed out to a number of prominent engineers in various parts of the country coples of the law and invited them to make suggestions re- garding the enforcement and also to sub- mit propositions to attend to the work under Its provisions. In its statement to the engineers he commission said the law refirred to street rallway companies. The general. impression prevailed around the leglslature that street railways had not been included in the bill. Normal Board ¥ight On. The warrlors are on the ground for the battle over the control of the state normal schools. Colonel Majors of the new board created by the democratic leg- islature and Dr. Shellhorn of the same city, & member of the old board, held a conference with the attorney general, the stato suditor and the state treasurer ‘o- day and he has decided his line of action. The entire matter will be placed up to the state auditor. . When the new board meets tomorrow and crganizes and then presents to the state muditor the vouch- ers for expenses of the members, ihe au- dltor will refuse (o issue the warrants. He will hold that hié ie uadecided wiether the members of the new board are entitled to the money. So this will tie up matters until someone brings suit against the au- ditor to force him to issue the warrant. HAYDEN: RELIABLE - the 3 entire Skirt Nebraska Such a suit would establish the constitu- tionality of the new law. Treasurer Brian, who is a member of tha 0ld board and of the new by virtue of his position as state treasurer, will refdse to | meet with the new board, but will hold that the law creating it is no good from a legal standpoint New Treasury Examiner. Samuel Nies of Neligh s expected to & rive shortly and qualify as a county treasurer examiner under appointment by Auditor Barton. Mr. Nies was formerly county treasurer and also county superin- tendent of Antelope county. Kearney Bonds Unregistered, Auditor Barton has refused to register bond issue of $100,000 by the city of Kear- ney for the purpose of constructing a city water works plant. Mr. Barton's reasons for the refusal are contained in the fol- lowing letter to the city clerk of Kearney, Mr. George .

Wooster Renews Her Suit She Again Applies for Divorce from Fusion Politician—All Efforts to Agree Fail CENTRAL CITY, Neb., April 13.—(Spe- | clal)—Dropping the charge that her hus- band would not give her any rest because she would not declare to him that she loved him better than she loved God, but making more prominent the claim that he threat- ened to commit murder If he was compelied | to live with her any longer, Lillle M. | Wooster has started another sult in the | district court of Merrick county against| her husband, Charles Wooster, asking for | an abeolute divorce and alimony. The first suit was started several months the history of the action of the council of the city of Kearney relative to the issue ot water works bonds ‘n the sum of 100,000, and beg to state t 1 cannot register same, for the following reasons: The ordi- nance providing for the calling of the special election does not mention the time the bonds are to run and rate of interest they are to bear, nor when they are op- tional. The notice of the special clection does not mention the length of time the bonds are to run or the rate of interest they are to bear. or the time when they are optional. The last ordinance provided for the issuance of these bonds specified in regard to this matter. but such ordi- nance was passed after the election was neld and the result declared, The bonds were voted October 15, 107, and were never issued untll January 1, 1900—fifteen montis later, which leads me 'to believe there was some doubt in the mind of the council of the city of Kearney as to their validity. But greater than all of these, there grave question, and for which 1 hesl to register them, and that is the con: tionality of the act under which they were voted. \ Opinions of Supreme Court.

It was thought then that a recon- clliation betwecn the phrties would be ef- fected. Evidently all efforts in this line have failed. The maln grounds Wooster asks for a divorce are extreme cruelty. She claims that only a few months after they were married in 1581, Wooster smasked down the door of the room where she had fled for refuge, and the door struck her on the head and ren- dered her unconscious. She claims on sev- eral oceasions he beat her and used pro- fane and vulgar language toward her and repeatedly ridiculed her belief in God and taught their children to do the same. She claims that she left him in 1006, because he threatened that if he was compelled to live with her any longer he would commit murder. She has since been making her home wiih friends in Portiand, Ore., but claims that she has not relinquished her residence in Merrick county. She claims that when she married Wooster she brought with her §1,20 which has gone into his property, and in her demands for ali- mony and a division of the property she asks that this $1,200 be taken into consider- ation. She claims that Wooster has real estate to the value of $11,00 and personal property valued at'$3,000. Wooster has been prominent in state politics for a long time, being representa- tive from Merrick county in the state leg- islature and at one time prominently men- tioned for fusion nomines for congressman from the Third congressional district. He resides at Silver Creek. The case will probably be tried out a the next regular term of the district court.

Neb., April 13.~(Special.)— An equity term of the district court is being held here this week. Judge Hollen- beck presided yesterday, and today Judge Thomas is pn the beach. Agnes Arp w granted a decree of diverce from Henry on the customary ground of crueity and desertion. The court held the case under advisement for some time. The two divorce cases of Horst against Horst and Staats against Staats, which are of a sensational nature, are set for trial, but it is doubtful If the latter ever reaches the court. An array of counsel are ready, but neither party appears to be. Last summer Staats brought a suit against Louls Kreymborg, a prominent and well-to- do citizen, for the alleged allenation of his wite's affections, claiming $20,000 dam- ages. The defendant made arrangements for a vigorous defense and the plaintift dismissed his case, after bringing an action against his wife for divorce on the ground of undue Intimacy with parties at Council Bluffs and 8t. Joseph, Mo. While at St Joseph he caused her arrest on the ground of adultery, but the case does not appear to have even reached a hearing. Mrs. Staats came back to Fremont and employed attorneys, who procured an order for sult money and filed an unswer setting up #ome sensational chasges. On account of the prominence and wealth of the parties and the character of the charges the case has attracted a good deal of attention, Suffers from Exposare.

April 13.—(8pecial Telegram.)—In the Wayne liauor case, wherein appeal was taken from the district court because it refus:l to cause the city council of Wayne to reccnvene and take evidence on the application of Peter Thom- son for a lguor license, the supreme eourt has affirmed the decision of the lower court. The court held that while no license should have been granted Thomson, yet the error could not be corrected in the district court. Jacob Katleman won his case against the city of Omaha in which he sought to secure an order from the court to force the city to pay him $30 for some property condemned for boulevard purpose. The city attempted to hold out some $200 by reason of special assessments against the property. The property had been appraised at $3,000, the court said, and the appraisement ac- cepted by the council and the warrant {ssued. The city should at that time have claimed its lien upon the money, but having falled to do o it must now pay the full amount of the warrant In the syllabus the court said: A freeholder otherwise qualified to sgn a petition or a liquor license is not dis- qualified because he is not personally ac- quainted with the applicant, or does not know that he is a man of reputable char- | acter and standing in the community. ! If a remonstrator appeals from an order of the excize board granting a saloan |license, the district court 1s without author- |ity in that proceeding to direct said board to reconvene and receive testimony that was offered by the remonstrators and ex- cluded by sald board. / Thrown from Horse | Under Car Wheels Irwin Wilds of Chappell Seriously Injured from Riding Broncho Too Near Train, | | CHAPPBLL, Neb., April 13.—(Special)— | | One of the worst accidents in this vicinity | for years happened yesterday near Tur- | ner Wild's place, four miles west of town, {40 his son, Irwin Wild, who was riding & broncho.
