BEE: Nebraska GOVERNOR TO SHAKE Shallenberger Will Soon Designate Favored Demooratic Papers. PRISON GAMBLING IS CHECKED Warden Stops Game of Oraps—Stock sumed June N, When More Witnesses Will Be Heard. (From a Statf Correspondent.) LINCOLN, June 3.—(Special)—Governor Shallenberger will soon bé ready to’ des- ignate the demccratic newspapers in which the proposed constitutional amendments are 1o be published. This was formerly the duty of the secretary of state, who pro- vides the sample ballots and attends to all the details of getting up the copy for the proposed amendments, but the late demo- cratic non-partisan legislature wanted the s0p for the denocrats, 5o the governor was siven the job of making the selections. Governor Shallenberger was given the privilege of selecting two papers in which to publish the list of delinquent corpora- tions and he gave one list to & democratic paper and one to an alleged republican pa- per which supported the democrats In the late campaign, but it is\ presumed he will give the proposed constitutional -amend- ments to the genuine democratic papers. The law requires that one paper in each county publish the amendments, so it is probable there will be considerable of a fight over which papers get the sop. The price to be paid will amount probably to $2% or $%0. Several papers have already | notified the governor that they want fhe business and the governor is now going over the llst and checking up those he de- sires to favor. Not Ru: Sleeping C The Pullman company In an answer filed in the county court today denled that it is running sleeping cars, but insisted that it supplies the railroads with the cars, The answer was made to the petition filed by Elizabeth C. Bizer, who I8 suing the com- pany for $00 for the loss of two rings which she alleges were stolen from her while going to California, due to the care- mess or dishonesty of the company's employes, Purifying the Penitentiary. Warden Smith will not stand for any crap shooting at the state penitentiary, if he can help it. Convicts Kelly and Waite, both from Cheyenne county started In to play the game of their youth, were caught in the act and being already in prison and having little money with which to pay tines, thew arden simply deducted ten day from their good time allowance. The monthly report of the warden shows that there are now in the prison 462 convicts. Ot these seventeen were admitted during the month and one was returned from parolé. Eleven have been discharged, four paroled \and onep ardoned during the month. An- derson, the negro who was recently sent up for life for murder, had his leg ampu- tated. The total number of days lost from work by all thec onvicts during the month was 250. Hearing to Be Resumed June ¥. The application of the stock yards to increase rates which the commission has been considering for two days will be taken up agaln June 8, when more wit- nesses will be eximined. The day was oc- cupled-by W. G. Ure, who valued the real estate for the commission He divided the property into four tracts upon which he placed a valuation as follows: $6,000 for 4,484 acres; 38,000 for 3183 acres, $22,260 for 1 acres, $8,000 for 7.38 acres, making a total of $72,622. The value of the same property as fixed by the company was in round num- bers, §1,200,000. Engineer Hurd went over his report as a witness explaining in detail the various items. Committee of Fifty Alarmed. The Committee of Fitty met this after- noon to view with alarm the scheme to establish a saloon in West Lincoln, the in- corporated village ™ which threatens to grant a saloon license. Mayor Myers of West Lincoln was at the meeting. He told the committeemen present that his people looked with a friendly eye on the income which would result. The question will soon be decided by the village board. TELEPHONE CASE DISMISSED Judge Pemberton ut Beatrice tains Demurrer in Case Alleg- BEATRICE, Neb., June 3.—(Special Tele- gram.)—In the district court today Judge Pemberton sustained the demurrer of the Nebraska Telephone company, charged with discrimination, and dismissed the action. The state excepted and will take the case 1o the supreme court. In the saloon remonstrance case of Charles Churda against John Walker of Barneston, the court sustalned the action of the village board in granting the license. This will give Barneston one saloon, which opened for business today. Water Plant Talk at Wymore. WYMORE, Neb, June i&-—(Speclal.)—At a regular meeting of the city council last night, L. H. Archard proposed for the! Beatrice Eleotric Service company to put in two electrically operated Gould pumps for the city water plant at a total cost of about $3000. The councll will look into the proposition. In the course of his re- marks Mr. Archard stated that the boller now In use at the station is old and has been used continuously for a long time without being cleaned or repaired, and is liable to glve out at any time. He also stated that last year approximately 7,000,000 gallons of water were pumped, the plant working twenty-four hours a day, and the cost per 1,000 gallons averaged 9.7 With the pumps and dynamos, Mr. Archard estimates the time of pumping would be reduced to about 1% days of twelve hours each, and the cost lessened over half. The council offercd a reward of $35 for the arrest and conviction of any person carrying llquor to persons to whom the stuff had been forbidden, or to partles in the city jail.
