ANOTHER NEW LAW Lieutenant Governor's Sig Missing from Act Requiring Adequate Telephone Serviee at All Depots. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, April 16.—(Speclal.)~The State Rallway commission met today with a number of telephone men to discuss & uniform system of reports to be made to the commission. The commisaion had pre- | pared a tentative report, which was sub- | mitted to the telephone men, whe offered | several suggestions for changes. The com- mission will shortly issue an order defining just what shall be contained in the reports. Those present at the meeting were L. B | Hurtz of the Lincoln Telephone company; F. E. Ebersole of the Omaha Independent; C. P. Russell, auditor of the Lincoin com- pany; W. C. Bell of the York Independent company; A. 8. Kelley, superintendent of the Nebraska Telephone company; W. A. Pixley, auditor of the Nebraska company; Lee Huff, local manager of the Nebraska company; Ehries C. Deering, manager. Omaha Long Distance company; C. P. Avery of Edgar; W. H.. Coman of Beat- rice; P. H. Pollock of Plattsmouth. Some More Incompetency. Another bad bill turned up today. The measure which provided for the raliroads to install telephones in thelr offices and yardes does not contain the signature of the lleutenant governor. This is consid- ered a very important omlssion, but it was not caught by the governor or the commit- tee on enrolled bills or any member of the late lamented aggregation of job makers. However, the court has held in a former case this cuts no ice Af the record of the bill's passage is straight. Admits Thett of Diamond. Police station third degree work brought an admission from Bert Brown, an erst- while resident of . Chicago and now a drifter, that he took the diamond ring of Mrs. Thornburg from the dresser in her room at 416 South Seventeenth street,| Wednesday morning. Brown was arrested Thursday night, and Friday afternocon he confessed to having stolen the ring. The ring was a small, gold circlet with a brilliant diamond setting. Brown had #old the ring to Willlam Walworth of 516 North Sixteenth street, who sent the ring to the station to have it identified after he had read the account of the theft. Brown was arrested by Officer Cressey. Trouble in Firm. High finance in the management of the American Window Cleaning company, has lead to the disruption of that concern, according to the statement of John Bern- stein, on of the organisers, and he asks the district court to dissolve the partner- ship, to decree a division of the property and to allow him damages against the other members of the company for with- drawing more than their shares of the profits and withholding the share of the plaintiff. Charles Grossman, Solomon Zieg- er, Max Humburg, A. Juchoff, are named as defendants In the sult and are said to be co-partners with the plaintiff in the window washing business. A. 0. U, W. Meeting. The annual meeting of the grand' lodge of the Ancient Order of United Workmen in this state, will be held in the Auditor- fum in Lincoln, May 11, next. The session will last four days and more than 1,000 members are expected. Six hundred lodges from all parts of the state will send dele- | gates to the meeing. X The four Lincoln lodges have chosen a committee on entertainment and arrange- ments. The mMembers of the committee are H. J. Whitmore, . A. Boehmer, E. Kersch- ner, N. Ross, P. H. Matthews, W. A. Peckham, B. Hoppe, F. E. Stump, H. C. | Peate, H. Mohr, J. A. Mise and H. N. | Bushnell. The general committee has been divided into subcommittees 5o that certain members will have charge of the varlous matters that will be necessary to entertain the big meeting. The committee has been meeting from time to time at the Commer- cial club roBns. Hamilton Appeals Case. The county of Hamilton has appealed an interesting case to the supreme court, after having lost out in its own district court. The county brought suit against Jasper B. Cunningham, county treasurer, Yor inter- est on county money deposited in banks | other than county depositorles. It was al- | loged that the dafly balances deposited in these banks amounted to $30,000 on the aver- age and that the treasurer made no record | of having received any Interest on the { deposits. Emergency Clause Overworke It is barely possible that some one will attack the enforcement of some ol the new laws which carry the emergency clai when it is very evident no emer- gency existed. The new law relating to the payment of fees by foreign corporations carries an emergency clause. A lot of other laws carry the emergency. Should anyone be arrested for violating a law which carries the emergency clause when no real emergency existed and the violation was through ignorance of the existence of the law, attorneys say the accused would | have @ defense in an attack on the emer- gency clause of the law. | | Laugh Now is on the Colonels Governor Shallenberger Will Take Them to Seattle Exposition on a Nice Trip, (From a Staff Correspondent.) | LINCOLN, April 16.—(Special.)—Ha!

We quote in part from the Apparel Gazette, of May 6, 1908. “The materials, either of wool or worsteds, which are to show the pattern in color or contrast, are treated, either in raw stock, or preferably, in the yank of yarn as fol- lows: After being dyed they are bolled for two or three hours in a solution of tannic acid, then wrung out or drained, but with- out belng washed, and entered into a bath of 15 per cent antimony salts (some use tartar emetic), in which caee the yarn is bolled one or two hotrs more.

Nebraska Grand Island Man Killed in Flames of Store Building Frank Miller Caught in Basement and Suffocated by Dense Smoke —Building is Gutted. GRAND ISLAND, Neb. April 15.—(Spe- clal Telegram.)—Fire this morning de- stroyed the Miller & Ogorman furniture house, and Frank Miller, senior member of the firm, was killed while in the basement of the buflding. Miller's body was found in the ruins only partly incinerated. It is believed death was due to euffocation in the dense smoke that filled the basement of the bullding. ‘When the fire was discovered he and an employe, Willlam Johnson, ran down to see whether the smoke came from the basement. Miller came dashing up tho stairs after viewing the basement and cried that everything was afire. He rushed back, evidently to see what could be done, and has not been seen since. Johnson, who managed to get out of the basement, in some manner he cannot him- self explain, states that he saw Miller last on the elevater, Johnson's hands were severely burned, his halr and eyelashes singed and he was burned about the face. Johnson stated that the fire started in a lot of mattresses, the smoke immediately becoming so thick that no one could venture into the bullding. The fire was still burning at noen, but was confined to the brick bullding in which the store was located, with no present danger of spreading. The loss on stock will be almost com- plete, and the loss on the bullding will bg about one-half. A total estimate places it at $20,00. Miller leaves a wife and six children, the oldest about 16 Shortly after noon the fire was brought under control. The building is completely gutted.

Chatelain Freed Shooting Charge Peru Justice of Peace Permitted to Go by Court as Result of Hal- lowe'en Scrape. AUBURN, Neb,, April 16.—(Speclal)—The preliminary examination of J. C. Chatelain of Peru, charged with shooting at Wil- liam Colby wtih intent to do great bodily harm and charged wtih shooting L. R. Dillon wtih intent to wound, was held be- fore County Judge Parriott yosterday. The result was that the judge refused to hold Chatelain to the district court and dis- charged him. The case has been standing since Novem- ber last and grew out of a Hallowe'en party on the first of that month. Chate- lain is a justice of the peace at Peru and during the night of November 1 was in- formed that some boys were turning over hig sidewalk in front of his store. He put his revolver in his pocket and took a lan- tern and started down town. On his way down he met a bunch of about thirty boys in the street and told them to consider themselves under arrest. About this time Colby gave his lantern a kick, which caused it almost to flicker out; when it flamed up Dillon, who was standing near, noticed that Chatelain was in the act of shooting Colby and struck his arm, which act saved Colby's life, as the bullet barely missed him. Dillon then grabbed Chatelain's arms and in the strug- gle, Chatelain shot Dillon in the leg. Chat- elain s an excitable person and was evi- dently laboring under the impression that he was belng mobbed. He did not know who Dillon was when he fired the shot and feit very badly about it, as he and Dillon were the bets of friends. Veterans Sore at Democrats Bill Passed with Reference to Pen- sion Money Defective as Re- gards Proof of Payment. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOL! April 16.—(Special.)—Another bobble on the part of the democratic legis- lature In the construction of a bill probably | will defest one of the party’s campaign pledges. This bobble occurs in the bill which appropriates $2,000 to pay back to the members of the scldlers’ homes money which they have paid to the state under rule No. 1. The bill provides no way for the State Board of Public Lands and Build- ings to cause the soldlers to prove that they have pald the money to the Rule No. 17 does not provide that the sol- diers have pald money~to the state and so far as anyone officially knows they have pald no money to the state. The bill docs not even provide how money I8 to be paid to the soldiers or by whom. A delegation of five members of the home called the governor this morning to complain that they had not received thelr pension money and they accused the state officers of holding up the warrants without reason. The warrants will not be issued on under the law, because there is no way for | in some manner, fraudulent the state auditor to know who is entitied | not acknowledged guilt, but the local of- | | to receive the money Chamberiain is Penniless.
