Til. Limit Generously Extended

Renewed interest in the Nebraska
state university temple fund has been
aroused by the offer of Mr.. Rockefeller
to extend the time in which the 333.-
333 must be raised. Under the terms
at first made by the millionaire, the
amount of money to be subscribed by
students and citizens wal to be pro-
cured before January |. 1904. Just how
long Mr.. Rockefeller has allowed the
promoters of the project is not known,
though 1t is supposed that enough time
VIII be given to make the extension
worth while. Half OF the money need
ed has already been subscribed, and
with the boost" given the fund by the
literary societies, the committee thinks
the entire amount can be secured with
out much difficulty by the time Mr..
Rockefeller's offer expires.

FREMONT GETS IT
New York Capitalists Decide on

5000 HORSE POWER PLANT
To Furnish Electricity to Lincoln. Oms-

mont and other Near cities

The board OF arbitration, consisting
OF T. w. Klowman, Of the John r..
Kelly Engineering company. New
York. and George II. Kimball. the well
known western engineering expert,
met In New York and decided to make
an award in favor Of the Fremont Ca
nal and Power company. which con-
Germ will build a large hydraulic plant
for the purpose of generating electric
energy for light, traction and general
power purposes In and around Lincoln.

mont and several other cities in Ne
braska.
The Fremont proposition was con-
sidered more feasible than the one
submitted By the Nebraska Central ir-
rigation company. which concern pro-
posed to build a big plant at Columbus.
The Fremont Canal and Power COM
pany was recently incorporated under
the laws Of the state of Nebraska. with
a capital of four million dollars. The
president Of the company is w. J. C..
Kenyon. general manager OF the Union
Stock yards, South Omaha. Neb.. and
l.. d. Richards, Y Fremont banker, is
also largely interested in the project.
Several Lincoln men are stockholders.
Tho company has awarded the on
tract for the construction and equip
ment Of its plant. etc. to the John +.
Kelley Engineering company. The in
itial capacity will be Is. 900 horsepower
every t~wenty-four hours. The site Sc
lected 10 OF the Platte. some hundred
feet south OF Elm creek. on the south
bank Of the south branch of the Platte
river. The hydraulic installation will
consist Of eight siX-hundred horse
power units. The electrical installa-
ton will comprise eighty-six cycle gen.
orators, capable Of developing $500
kilowatts each. The generators are to
be connected to step-up transformers
raising the voltage at about $1,000
volts. This voltage will be again re-
duced at Omaha to correspond with the
voltage used in the city. A diverting
dam is to be built across the Platte
river at a cost OF upwards Of 100000.
A canal will also be constructed
about twenty-five miles in length. This
will entail an expenditure OF nearly
81, zoe. 600. The large reservoir to be
built at Elm Creek will cost some 5000
900. and another reservoir to be con
structcd at Pocoho will mean a dis
bursement of nearly $500, 900. The
power house is estimated to cost about
$100. 900. About $l50.0O0 will be ex-
pended on the hydraulic plant and
$4O0, 900 on the electrical equipment.
Construction work will begin in the
early spring and inside Of two years
the entire system is expected to be in
operation. Before completion nearly

TWO FIRES IN ONE WEEK
GEORGE Meisnsr ~ shelton. Neb., HAS .
Fire Loss Of S2O.O

Fire destroyed the new elevator on
the home ranch of George Meisner at
Shelton. Neb.. together with all its
contents. which consisted OF about s.
900 bushels Of oats. 1900 bushels of
wheat. and 5000 bushels of orr and a
quantity of oil meal. The building had
been finished only a year, and was OF
the latest improved plan, being built
especially for grinding large quantities
Of grain. as Mr.. Meisner is one Of the
largest feeders OF cattle, sheep and hogs
in central Nebraska. and the fire oc-
curing at this time will work q great
Inconvenience. as he has several thous-
and head Of stock now in the yards
feeding. This was MIR. Meisner's second
fire during the week. His home caught
fire from a defective chimney and was
only saved by prompt assistance. The
losses on home and. elevator will be
about 500 600. with small insurance.

THE GREAT MERGER CASE
Upon the Decision 81 the supreme Court
Depends Freedom Of Trade

Depends Freedom OF Iraue
The supreme court began hearing ar
guments i'm the case of the Northern
Securities company. James J. Hill, j.
Pierpont Morgan. Daniel 5. Lamont
and Others. versus the United States,
coming to that court On appeal from
the decision of the circuit court Tor
the district Of Minnesota. That deci-
sion was to the effect that the pur-
chase of the greater share Of the stock
of the two railroad companies consti-
tuted a merger and was contrary to
the Sherman antitrust law. The case
involves the community of interest
principle. The court room was rowd-
ed both inside and outside the bar.
Attorney General Knox was present
with quite an array of assistants from
his Office. while the opposition also
was represented by a long list of dis
tinguished counsel.
The brief Of the government in the
case was prepared by Attorney Cen
eral Knox and Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral Day. and covers 1870 printed pages.
After stating that the bill in the
case was originally brought by the
government to restrain the violation
of the antitrust law by the securities
company in the consolidation OF the
Northern Pacific and the Great North
ern railroads and that the decision
OF the court below was favorable to
the contention of the United States.
the brief enters into the following
specifications as to the reasons for the
action:
lst. The lines OF railway operated by
the defendants. the Great Northern
Railway company and the Northern
Pacific Railway company, are parallel
and competing.
I'd. That the combination is in re-
strains of interstate commerce and a
monopoly.
The question Of law growing out OF
the statement OF facts are presented
as follows:
"First-Has a combination been ac-
complished by means of the securi-
ties company in violation of section l
of an act of congress approved July 2.
1890. entitled An act to protect trade
and m against unlawful re-
straints and monopolies. hereafter
called the antitrust act?
'Second-Haye the defendants mo-
nopoliIed or attempted To monopolize
any part OF the interstate or foreign
commerce OF the United States in vio-
lation Of section . of the antitrust
act?
'Third-Was the relief granted by
the circuit court authorized by law?'
The government maintains that each
of these questions should be answered
in the affirmative.
