TO GET INTO PRINT.

"I see that some adverse comment is
cause the railroad companies utilize the
newspapers to present their side in the
tax controversy, and because they eX-
press a willingness to pay the expense of
printing. Why should tley not. The ar
guments presented are unanswerable.
The outside counties of the state are vi
tally interested. The Omaha papers give
only one side of the question. The out
side newspapers are entitled to receive
information exposing the selfishness of
the Omaha real estate boomers. And the
railroads have perfect right to pay for
the expense of printing this information.
THE railroads have no newspaper of
their own to present the case, and there
is no one newspaper of wide circulation
standing up for the rights of the country
a against the encroachments of the large
city. The defense of the country must
come from the country papers. We can
not demand that they use their space
them, recognizing their own local inter
est in the controversy, decline cOmpensa-
ton and freely open their columns to
forcibly express their opinions of the
Omaha scheme. The criticism from the
Omaha boomers is ridiculous. 1t sounds
like the plant of a failing and hopeless
cause"

MI. Gosney suffered very severely with
Kidney Complaint and some ten years

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

A committee of attorneys from Omaha
appeared before the joint judiciary COM
mittee and urged for the retention of
the supreme court commission. The
committee represented the State Bar
association also the Omaha Bar asso-
citation. Three bills making different
provisions for the retention of the COM
mission are pending before the legisla-
ture The committee championed none
OF these in particular, but argued that
the multiplicity of cases demanding at
tention of the supreme court made es-
sential the continuance of the commits
sion.
in my judgment it will require at
least a month/for this committee TO
complete its work IN proper shape said

STEAM CAUSES JERSEY WRECK.
Dead Engineer Leaves Statement Ex-
planning the Disaster.

PLAINFIELD, N. 1.-THE coroner s
investigation of the recent wreck at
Graceland, in which twenty-three per-
sons were killed, began Wednesday.
The most important evidence was
that of DR.. Westcott, county physi-
clan of Union county, who read the
statement made to him by Engineer
James Davis on the afternoon of the
disaster. Davis said his engine had
a leaking steam chest, which had been
cracked for a month, and that the
steam escaping from it prevented him
from seeing the tower signals. He
did not see the train ahead until with
in sixty feet of it.
David H. Deeter, master mechanic
of the railroad at Philadelphia, ad-
mitted that he had known of the leak
in Davis engine, but insisted that the
escaping steam was not sufficient to
obstruct the engineers view.

.n..d RECORD In Novel Writing.

Although Marion Crawford now pro
duces on an average of two novels a
year, "Mraios Crucifix" was written
in ten days and his "The Tale OF a
Lonely Parish" 120.000-word novel,
was completed in twenty-four days.
1t took him, however, eight months
to write Via Crucis,' not including
the time spent in gathering the mate
rial for it. The story of George Ell
lots reading for Daniel Deronda" is
too old to repeat, but it shows that the
actual writing of a book is small
affair compared with the task OF get
ting ready to write one. Harris
Dickson's 1.-The Black Wolf Breed,
was written in a little over two
months time. Another piece OF QUICK
work was Julia Magruder's princess
Sonia,' completed in eighteen days.

ming to Take First Place.
NEW YORk-While the Venezuelan
affair still has precedence as the lead
ing foreign question, there is a gen.
eral feeling in Fleet street that it will
speedily be overshadowed by the Mac
edonian question.
A formidable insurrection against
the Turks is expected in the early
spring by nearly all writer's who are
following the course of events in the
Balkans.
Predictions of similar nature have
been made year after year, but never
with equal confidence since the pre-
liminary stages of the last war be-
tween Russia and the porte.
The Turkish government clearly ex-
poets trouble and the Russian and Aus
trian governments also dread a move
ment from Bulgaria which tney cannot
control, since they cannot agree upon
a joint policy.

FRANK JAMES PUTS IN AN OAR.
Kicks on the Pardon Granted to Cole
Younger.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-Frank James,
brother of Jesse James, said Thursday
that the pardon granted Coleman
Younger by the Minnesota board of
pardons will, in his opinion, deprive
Younger of any way of making liv-
ing.
He is not really freed" said
James. He is 60 years old and has
been in prison a quarter of a century
and has no trade or profession. He
ought to insist upon being granted alb
solutely free citizenship, or perhaps it
would have been better for him to have
remained in prison"

Child Saving institute of Omaha.

The Child Saving Institute of Oma-
ha is better equipped than any other
corporation for handling legal ques-
tions concerning children and devotes
a large amount of time to the work
of rescuing children from vicious sur
roundings by legal processes. A re-
cent appeal from Washington county,
Nebraska, was promptly responded to
and proceedings were begun in the
county court against woman who
was running a house of Ill fame at
Blair, having with her four small chill
dren, the oldest one being a girl of
nine years. She made confession in
the court concerning her criminal life,
when she faced the evidence that was
presented, and then requested that the
Child Saving Institute of Omaha
should take charge of her children and
place them in homes. Three of them
have already found homes, and it is
expected soon that a home will be
found for the youngest boy, who is
only three years of age.

That we think it unjust that in case
property is mortgaged the property and
mortgage should both be taxed.
That the law of limitation on pronis-

railroads, that said tax should be dis
tributed equally among all districts in
the county voting bonds, inasmuch as
all districts must assist in the payment
of the bonds.

The past three months has en-
