STATE HOARD IS ~ ENJoINED.
Nebraska Telephone Company Gets n
TcmnnrnrA ncsirnLninu nrLcr.


LINCOLN Sept. 24.-(special Telegram
The Nebraska Telephone 'eompany this
afternoon made application to Judge Holmes
for a temporary injunction against the state
Board Of Transportation to prevent any fur
ther action in the case brought by John o.
Yeiser. The application was granted and no.
tice was served on the members and secre-
taries OF the board this evening Under the
statutes they will have thfee weeks to file
an answer. tt
In its petition the telephone company OBJ
jccts to the jurisdiction of the board and
charges the uuconstitutonality Of the law
passed by the last legislature to enlarge the
powers Of the board II is asserted that the
law is faulty, because its provisions are not
embodied in the title and further because
1t is amendatory of the law OF 1881 but
does not embody the sections so amended and
repeal the original secticn as provided by
the constitution. The new law, in giving the
board jurisdiction over the telephone com
panies, is said to be lame because II in
jects new matter not germane to the old
law.

My Dear Sir-I have recently investi-

with view OF determining what would
do with regard to taking new policy.
The result of my inquiries ann examina-
tion has been to convince me that the
Northwestern Mutual is the most eco
nomically administered, aud can and
will give the best results of all Of, these
companies; and have determined to let
n policy which have in the New York
Mutual lapse, and have taken in it's
place policy i'll the Northwestern Mu-
tual. l have also n policy in the New
York Equitable, hut my judgement, af-
ter as careful. examination as ! could
make, is that the Northwestern is the
best company, both as to solvency and
results, of the four leading companies
which now offer insurance. Yours very
truly, FRANK Il. GLASGOW.

PUT GOLD TO AN EQUAL TEST.

The worlds stuck on hand of gold IL
estimated ut about $4,000, 1000, 900 -four
billions, five hundred millions of dollars);
the worlds annual product of gold is
1925, 600, 900 two hundred and twenty
five millions of dollars). This supply is
met By an unlimited demand for it as
money
Suppose, however, this unlimited
money demand for gold should he stopped
las it would he by the drmonitization of
gold. what would be the remaining de-
mand for it? The director of the mint of
the United States estimates the annual
consumption OF gold by the whole world
in arts and manufactures at only $52,-
1873. 1876 That is the yearly demand for
gold left it after the money demand for it
be destroyed; and this rema ming demand
does not amount TO one-fourth CT the
worlds annual production Of gold, with
IL surplus stock on hand, to begin with.
of four billions five hundred millions of
dollars GA, 500, 600, 000) of gold to be dis
posed OF Surprising the production and
supply to continue ut the present. rate,
this vast surplus of gold would be aug
mented annually by the sun. of one hun
dren and seventy two millions, eight hun
dred sixteen thousand, two hundred and
siNty-four dollars (S172, S16,264). Add
only one years surplus Of supply over
demand to the amount now on hand, and
we have an aggregate surplus of four
billions, six hundred and seventy two
millions, eight hundred and sixteen
thousand, two hundred and sixty four
dollars.
Now, if with full or unlimited de-
mand, gold now is worth one dollar for
every 1913 grains, what would it be worth
with the annual demand ut only little
over one eighty-ninth of the gold on hand,
and less than fourth of Che annual
