Attorney General Brown Saturday filed

application of the Bankers Union of the
World for q writ of niandamus to COM
pei Auditor Searle to grant license to

charges against the management OF the

pany with the auditor of its condition the

and fraudulent in many respects, that 1t

The legal department of the state IS
watching closely the evidence being intro
duced in the Worrall grain case and If 1t
develops that q trust really exists there
is little doubt but the attorney general,
backed by Gov. Mickey. will institutes
proceedings. Just at this time, of COURSE
neither Gov Mickey nor Attorney Gen.
eral Brown will say what they intend to-
do, or that they are doing anything now
but as 4 matter of fact these two have
had several conversations about the mat
ter and if the proper time arrives the
state will take a hand in the matter. I'm
der the Junkin antitrust law, should it
be proven that an organization for the
control Of prices or for the suppression
of trade exists the penalty is a fine Of
$1,000 or q term in the penitentiary, or
both, in the discretion OF the court.
Secretary of State Galusha is up in
the air on Que of the bills passed by the
late legislature. The bill in question iS
II. X. PA, introduced by @. J. Ander-
son, Of Douglas County, and is an act to-
provide for the protection Of trade marks,
labels and forms of advertising, and it
was especially desired enacted by the Ia
Dor unions. The bill provides that fee
Of So shall be paid to the secretary Of
state upon the filing OF a trade mark or
label. AS the statute books does not
quire the secretary toturn the money over
to the treasurer, and as the constitution
prohibits him from keeping It, the sec
rotary is in a quandary.
Deputy Game Warden Carter, Of Lin
coin, is in receipt Of two beautifully
mounted English black cocks The his
tory accompanying the birds states that

cocks became scarce, wealthy sporting
men bought up a number Of them and
placed them in an isolated place, where,
after being neglected a number Of years,
the birds turned into wild fowls, such 40
were the two sent to the game warden.
The birds were sent out by Chicago par
ties.
If all the laws enacted by the late leg
islature went into the printed volumes
of the session laws in the same shape as
the Omaha charter the printed session
laws will be a poor guide for those who
intend to study the matter passed by the
legislature. Assistant City Attorney
Herdman of Omaha, was at Lincoln the
other day checking up the printed G.
ter with the enrolled bin and found -
takes almost too numerous to mention
Officers and employees of the Milford
Industrial home have become frightened
lest that institution be closed, and Sat-
urday they swooped down upon Gov.
Mickey in force to see him about the mat
: ter. The governor assured his callers
that while it was possible one building
would be closed, the institution would
continue to be run, especially In view Of
the fact that the legislature made m ap.
preparation for that purpose.
The state board of public lands and
buildings is watching things closely Of
