PEOPLE MUSTPAY.
Kearney County Loses Famous
Bond Case.
Judge Phillips Says $45O,OOO
Must Be Paid.

The famous Kearney county bond
case was decided against the board of
county commissioners OF that county
today by Judge J. +. Phillips of the
United States circuit court. The amount
involved in the case is in the neighbor-
hood of s45o.000 which by the terms Of
the decree issued by Judge Phillips the
residents of the county must pay.
The Indebtedness was brought upon
the county at the time when the county
seat was being located. The county
seat war was between the towns of La
kin, the present county seat and Hart
land. In order to secure votes enough
at the election to insure the selection OF
Lakin as the county seat, the board of
county commissioners voted bonds at
two different times, aggregating about
$3.50 coo, part of it to pay n en- who We're
temporarily brought into the county to
work on the highways long enough TO
establish residence in the county un-
der the agreement that they should
vote for Lakin as the county seat. The
bonds were voted and the money used.
In 1893 the holders of the bonds
brought suit in the United States cir
cult court for the collection Of the bonds
the county sought to repudiate. The case
has dragged through the courts for
nine years. and is finally decided in the
opinion of Judge Phillips handed down
today in favor of Coffin and Stanton,
the bondholders, as against the board of
county commissioners of kearney
county.
F. P. Lindsay who was one of the at
torneys who assisted in the location of
the county seat and the disposal of the
bonds was one of the plaintiffs in the
trial of the case. He was represented by
ROssington, Smith and Histed.
The board of commissioners of Kear-
ney county were represented by Milton
Brown and Washington Adams.
The opinion of judge Phillips occupies

By Representatives of the Northern
TranscontinentaI Lines.

ST. Paul. Mimi. April Representa-
tives of the Northern TranscontinentaI
lines held an all-day session at the
Great Northern headquarters with Robt-
H. Countiss of San Francisco, general
agent and secretary of the transcOn-
tinentaI freight bureau. The new trans
continental tariffs were approved. The
publication viii follow in a few days
At the recent session of the Transcon-
tinentaI association in Portland, Ore,
a month was spent rechecking the trans
continental freight rates. No revision
of the tariffs has been made during four
years and several thousand items need
ed attention. The work was then turned
over to Mr.. Ccuutiss who has since put
the rates into form for publication.
The present conference took up sew
eral matters upon which there had been
differences among them the rates to
Alaska and Hawaii which have not been
shown in the previous tariff.
Missouri river lines already have ap-
proved the tariffs and this conference
terminates the work preparatory to their
publication except for the action of the
500 which is expected soon.

AN OPEN LETTER.
Friend of Beers Writes to Pres
ident Roosevelt.

Chicago, April 1S-Peter Van Vnssin-
gen, who has been one of the most ac-
tive friends of the Beers in Chicago, to-
day sent to President Roosevelt an open
letter advancing an argument against
the British mule traffic in the United
States. He declares that the traffic is
in violation of the treaty of Washing
ton.
Article of that treaty" the letter
reads, lays down three rules by which
arbitrators are to be governed. The
second rule declares A neutral govern
ment is bound not to permit or suffer
either belligerent to make use of its
ports or waters as the basis of naval
operations against the other, or for the
purpose of renewal or augmentation of
military supplies or arms or the recruit
ment of men.
Further along the letter says: Great
Britain made no scruple of asserting the
terms of the treaty of Washington
against this country upon the first and
only occasion when our government was
at war with a foreign state, April &c,
1898, the day after war was declared be-
tween the United States and Spain,
Queen Victoria issued a proclamation of
neutrality, insisting upon the observ-
ance of the treaty
In this proclamation Great Britain
