smyth and Oldham File Brief In the
supreme Court in the Insurance
Case of Cornell Against
Poynter.

LINCOLN, Nov. 20.-(special.)- ex-
elusive announcement in The Bee Sunday
morning of the organization of a new fire
insurance company by d. +. Thompson has
led TO a deal OF speculation in this city as
to whether Mr.. Thompson will make his
future residence in the state metropolis.
Mr. Thompson said recently that he had
not decided to leave Lincoln, but it is gen.
orally believed here that he will locate in
Omaha as soon as the new company is or
ganlzed and ready for business. He recently
disposed of his interest in the Farmers and
Merchants Insurance company and has, dur
Ing the past few months, unloaded many OF
his interests in this city.
1t is announced on good authority In Lin
coin that Mr. Thompson has a contract with
the government in connection with the con-
struction Of railroad. Just where this work
is to be done is not known, but 1t Is pos
sible that the rumor originated from the
report some time ago that Mr.. Thompson
had completed arrangements for the con-
struction OF a railroad in Mexico, to connect
his coffee plantation with another railroad.
This property is said to be bringing in "A
large revenue for its owner and its value
will be largely enhanced by the construc-
tion Of the proposed railroad.

Cornell Against Poynter.

Attorney General Smyth and w. d. Old
ham today filed in the supreme court a
separate brief in the case OF Auditor Cornell
against Governor Poynter, which will be sub
mitted to the court tomorrow. The brief
is short one and contains the theory of the
legal department of the state concerning the
constitutionality of the Weaver act The
attorney general in his brief says the case
is not a contest between the executive
branch Of the government and the legislative
and judicial branches, but that it is con-
test between two of the executive officers
for the functions assigned to them by diff
ferent legislatures at different times. The
attorney generals conception of the act in
controversy is that 1t is an act complete
within itself, that its title fairly expresses
the intention Of the legislature in it's pass
age and that II there be any defects in the
detail of the law such defects were not the
inducement that led to the passage of the
act. and that the act as a whole should be
sustained.
Attorney General Smyth has shown no dis
position to take an aggressive part in the
insurance case and the brief filed today is
an evidence Of unwillingness to defend the
Weaver law in behalf Of the governor. Only
few new theories are advanced and the
brief closes with the assertion that in case
of doubt every possible presumption, not
directly and clearly inconsistent with the
language and subject matter, should be made
in favor of the constitutionality of the act

nEs MoINEs law,
June 6, 1899.

JUNO ", looO.
The past week was warmer than
usual, the average temperature ranging
from to degrees above the normal.
The humidity of the air was excessive
and frequent showers added to the
large surplus of rainfall of the proceed
ing two weeks.
The northern section received some of
the heaviest showers, which flooded the
low lands and damaged cornfields on
the slopes in numerous localities. In
all parts of the state the amount of
moisture is excessive. These condi-
tions have not been favorable for small
grain crops, which are likely to become
too rank on all rich and moist lands
Some progress has been made in
planting corn in the southern section
where the work had been previously de-
layed; but there is considerable area
yet to be planted if the weather condi.
tions in the near future are more favor
able. The acreage in that section is
likely to be materially reduced.
Much replanting has been donein all
sections and fair start has been made
in cultivation wherever the soil was dry
enough
The weather has been favorable for
new seeding of timothy and clover, and
for potatoes and garden truck generally. !
