The supreme court in decision hand
ed down Monday in the Plankinton bank
matter establishes precedent that will
attract wide spread attention. The
court holds it's right to review and regu-
late all the acts of circuit judges. 1t
ordered Judge johnson of Milwaukee by
writ of mandamus to discharge Capt.
Irving M. Bean from the position of as
,signee of the PlaDkinton bank, to which
he had been appointed last July, forth
with, to order his books and accounts at
once, to appoint Henry Herman, the
delay and to report his acts to the court
in the case is filed with the writ and is
an arraignment of Judge johnson as
we'll as most definite definition of the
'nees. The true intent and meaning of
the statutes is that the court shall ap-
point the person named by the creditors
representing a majority of the indebted
ness, unless the nominee of the creditors
is not a suitable person; the right of the
creditors is statutory and it's refusal by
Judge is unlawful; the mere fact that
the nominee of the creditors is interested
AS creditor or that a judge has some
undisclosed motive for his refusal to ap-
point does not justify refusal of this
statutory right; the court has no discreet
ionary power in the appointment of an
assignee asked for by the creditors in
the absence of evidence of the unfitness
of the nominee; and, lastly, the appoint
ment of Irving M. Bean was an act in
excess of judicial power and contrary to
the plain policy of the statute.

JUST now it may be of interest t.

JUST now it may be of interest to say
something of the war in Africa. 1t is
not generally known that the dunn dunn
bullet, of whose use the Beers are MAX
ing complaint, was the invention of an
English general named Tweedie who
first began their manufacture near Cal
cutta some years ago. The bullet has a
lead core within a copper and nickel
envelope usually slightly open at it's
front end, and, when it strikes, it forms
into the shape of a mushroom and scat
tiers the lead into the wound-sometimes
making a hole eight inches across.
Again, the fearful Lyddite shell used by
the English kills most of it's victims
without hitting them. Lyddite is a
chemical consisting of Picric acid, the
explosive being named after small
town in Kent. A four-inch shell burst
ing in group of eight or ten men will
kill them ala few of them being hit by
the flying fragments while the remainder
receive only the blow of suddenly COM
pressed air.

BIG financiers contemplate amalgamat-
ing all the telephone systems into one
vast corporation, and so reducing rates
that every house shall have it's telephone!
With the fall in the price of copper that
must follow it's approaching overproduc
ton, this scheme is perfectly feasible.
But instead of rates sufficient to pay
dividends on millions of watered stock
why not let the postoffice take over the
whole telephone system and operate it
at cost? Also the telegraph. Except in
more remote districts, this, with proper
improvement in the mail service, would
bring to every rural home two mails a
day, one-cent postage, fve-cent telephone
and ten cent kilograms. The parcels
post should gradually absorb the ex-
press business, and so reduce the 25c
charge to l0c. Uncle Sam could do it,

The Wisconsin Experimental Station
has proven that pig weighing 100
pounds requires one pound of corn meal
and half pound of wheat middlings to
keep it alive without gain or loss. Three
pounds day of the same feed would
make pound of pork and if the grain
cost 800 per ton, the pork would cost 4 q
cents pound, and if he could eat six
pounds day he would gain two pounds
at cost of three cents a pound. A hog
weighing 500 pounds needed five pounds
of grain feed to keep him alive, and
eight pounds to increase his weight one
pound day This would make the
pound of pork cost eight cents. These
figures are for good thrifty hogs of good
breeds and are approximately correct,
and they show very nearly the economy
of killing hogs before they weigh 200
pounds if they can be made fat.

THE five commissioners appointed
by Gov. Scofield to apportion the cyclone
4und for New Richmond and other suf-
ferers by reason of the terrible storm of
June -, practically closed their arduous
labors. They figure that the total ben
refits in money and supplies aggregate
about 100000. This large sum has
been disposed of under many vexatioon
difficulties, and it is apparent to the
eyes of everybody that it has been ex-
pended so as to do a vast amount of
good to large number of sorely dis
tressed people. 1t was too much to ex-
pect that this mammoth work of benev-
Olence should be accomplished to the
entire satisfaction of everybody; but it
is certain that the committee has done
it's best, done it honestly, intelligently
and with lofty spirit of fair play.

WHY DEMOCRATS WANT ALLEN.
Must sidctrnck Him on the Bench 10
Capture ScuRtorship.
Pacinlon Times (dcm)

PaGinon Times (dem)
II is always the aim OF the Times to
make its editorial utteranccs so plain that
no man may fail to understand them, We
tried especially hard to make our position
plain in our article OF two weeks ago, ad-
vocating the nomination Of W. V. Allen
for supreme Judge by the democrats and
populis,s, and yet our editorial brethren
have placed several different constructions
upon that article, unfairly, We think We
had one and only one object in advocating
the selection of senator Allen, and that
object is the success OF the fusion forces In
Nebraska. Let us be plain. We honestly
believe horse sense points to, and that the
interests of the popocratic forces demand
the nomination OF Senator Allen. Right
here we again insist that the place OF right
belongs to the democrats, but we also know
as well today as we will know on convcn-
tion day that the pops will not concede the
place to us. We have one democrat on
the bench now, and the pops are still croak-
ing about the awful sacrifice they made
when they gave the nomination to Judge
sullivan two years ago. The man who be-
lieves the pops will consent to give the
judgeshp to the democrats this fall is either
devoid of intelligence or Information. In
advocating the nomination OF Senator Allen
for supreme Judge we take as accepted facts
three propositions:
l. That the pops will demand the nomina-
tion Of pop for supreme judge.
.. That Governor Poynter will be nomi-
mated by both democrats and pops for a
second term as governor.
s. That the pops hold Allen in reserve for
the senate to succeed ThurNton.
1t will be idle for any popocrat in the
state to deny the truth Of these propositions,
and that Is the reason why we insist that
Allen must be nominated for supreme judge.
The time for horsepay has gone by and
the time for sober talk is here. With a
pop for supreme judge this fall n pop for
governor next fall and pop held in reserve
for United States senator, will some pop
please tell the Times which way a Nebraska
democrat may look and find hope for tho
future? There is no hope for democrats
under such circumstances. Let us nominate
Allen this fall, and then next fall, with
Poynter as our candidate for governor and
with the promise on part of the pops that
the legislature will elect a democrat to the
senate in place of Thurston, our forces would
be invncible. 1t is not much for democrats
to ask They never ask much in Nebraska,
but in all sincerity want our pop friends
to stop and consider how nearly impossible
popocratic ticket with never hope ahead.
Just reverse the order of things for
moment, brother pops, and tell us how long
the pops would vote the fusion ticket under
such circumstances.
