LINCoLN's CHARTER CASE.

| The supreme court occupied the forenoon
| in hearing the oral arguments in the case
Of the old Excise board of the city of Lin
| coin against the new Fire and Police commits
sion, involving the constitutionality of that
part of the new charter creating the COM
mission. The petition was brought in the
form of quo warranto, praying that the Fire
and Police commission might be ousted and
prevented from interfering with the duties
of the Excise board. Judge Reese appeared
for the complainants and argued that the
section creating the commission was an
amendment to a section of the act of 1891,
and that the original section had reference
to an entirely different subject. Decisions
were read to show that original sections of
| an act, when amended, must be in effect a
title to the section as amended. The con-
stitutionality of the acts of 1891 and 1897
was also questioned. Judge Tibbets and
Judge Broadly, attorneys for the respondents
in their reply to the arguments of Judge
Reese, set up the plea that the court should
decide according to the intent of the legis-
lature and were inclined to make light of
the complaint. At noon the arguments
closed and the case was taken under advise
ment.

RAILROAD LOSES THE CASE
Coal Rate Controversy Goes Against the
Missouri Pacific.
CHARGES ON NINE RUN DECIDED TOO HIGH
state Bonrd OF transportation Hears
and Gives Its Opinion I'm n Case
That Affects Omaha
Interests,

| LINCOLN, May 19.-(Special) )-The coal
| rate case was heard by the State Board OF
| Transportation this forenoon, and an interest
ing point was brought out which is of more
| than local interest The case was brought
by George w. Gribben on complaint OF Lin
coin and Omaha coal dealers that the Mis-
| souri, Pacific road has been charging too
much for hauling, mine run coal from Pam
| anna, Mo-, to the two points named. 1t was
set out that the rate on lump coal was SLAP
per ton, and that the mine run rate should
be $1.07h per ton, whereas the railroad COM
pany was charging the higher rate for both
grades alike. The railroad company set up
a want Of jurisdiction on the part Of the
Board Of Transportation making the show
ing that 1t was an Interstate matter. The
case was heard by the Missouri state board
few days ago, and the decision was reserved
pending negotiations for a settlement of the
difficulty between the parties. In the hear-
ing of the case this morning the defendant
railroad company did not appear, relying on
its objection to the jurisdiction of the board.
Two or three witnesses we're examined and
the subject of complaint was inquired into,
From the testimony 1t appeared that the
mine run coal is billed out as such at Pan
ANA without objection by the railroad COM
pany, and that the additional charges are
tackled on after the cars reach their destina-
tion. This the members of the board are
inclined to think would put the case within
their Jurisdiction. and while the case is still
under advisement, it is stated that the de-
cision will be made tomorrow that an over
charge is being made by the railroad com
pany. 1t is admitted that an appeal is sure
to bo taken in order to rest the question of
jurisdiction.
OLD APPROPRIATION HAS A SURPLUS.
In a written opinion to the state auditor
today the attorney general says that the
claims OF George w. Ledigh and others,
amounting to S1,075.60, cannot be paid out
of the penitentiary appropriation of 1895 for
the reason that the labor was performed
since April 1. 1897. He holds that after that
date the pay must come from the new APP
preparation and that the 100000 that re-
mains of the appropriation of 1895 is not
available and must be turned back into the
treasury on the list of August. In regard to
the claim for goods furnished the state by
II. II. Glover & Co., part of which was
furnished in March and part In April Of this
year. the decision is that the claim for the
part furnished prior to April 1 must be
paid from the 1895 appropriation. In case
1t were legal to do so, the auditor had de-
sired to draw upon the old appropriation TN
til it was exhausted, and the opinion was
rendered upon his request for information
on this point.

SUNDANCE, Wyo.. May 19.-(Special.)-
On Saturday the little son of w. N. Beavert
of Houston Creek wandered from home and
became lost in the hills. Search was made
for him by the family and this being un-
successful, the neighbors were notified and
they Joined in the effort to find the boy.
Sunday morning messenger reached here
asking for volunteers. The call was re-
sponded to by almost every man and boy
in town and thorough and systematic
search of the entire country surrounding
the ranch from which the little one had
strayed was commenced. An hour after the
reinforcements commenced riding the hills
the boy WAS found. He had wandered
nearly ten miles in the twenty-six hours he
had been away from the ranch. Although
but 3h years old, the boy had remained
awake throughout the night and kept NOV
ing nearly all of the time. Considering the
fact that the country is pretty well over
run with wolves and coyotes, the boys es-
cape from harm is almost miraculous.
