NEWS OF THE WEEK

in Omaha Tuesday to try the cases of
Senator Dietrich, Postmaster Fisher
and other republican officials recently

loving TIE Dietrich trial. Upon call
ing the Dietrich case, Judge Van De-
vanter permitted an adjournment un-
til Thursday to allow witness from
/ Washington time to reach Omaha.
From the legal sparring in the pre-
liminaries of the Dietrich trial. it is
evident that the seller of postoffices
will in all probability escape on some
technicality. Dietrich and Fisher were
jointly indicted for conspiracy un-
der section 5440 r. S., wherein ii is al
legged they agreed to violate section
1881. Dietrich's counsel demurred to
this, and Judge Van Deyanter sus-
tanned it.

rejects it, there is virtually a deadlock,
and it is for the county superintendent
to act as arbiter and decide the case
on its merits. The state educational
department took the ground that mu-
tual consent of both the boards is es-
genital. In this particular case the
superintendent decided on the law and
against his desires, for in all such
cases he believes in consolidation. This
was the first time the law in regard
to consolidation had ever come to the
department for q. ruling.
