Mrs. Lille Appears Depressed.

Warden Beemer said today that Mrs.
Lena Margaret Lille seemed much de-
pressed over the action of the supreme
court in rejecting her application for per-
mission to file a moaion for a rehearlng.
Persons who have talked with her recently
say that she placed much reliance on the
appeal and hoped to secure another trial
Her attorney had filed an extensive brief
and It was claimed that new facts were ad-
duced which would lead the court to grant
a new trial. The woman has been making
dresses during her spare moments in order
to secure money with which to defray the
cost of this last appeal to the court.
The woman has three companions in the
womans ward-Mrs. Hutchinson, the al
! legged assassin Of Farmer Feasle in Muck
oils county, and two colored women. They
are employed during the working hours in
mending the garments of convicts. Today
Mrs. Lille assisted in mending 800 pairs of
socks belonging TO the male convicts.

The railroad injunction suits, withhold

for the small temporary school fund ap-

urer Mortensen said today that It amounts

late until about December !, but it is not
believed that the amount will reach the
$3.50 900 November apportionment of last

Mr. Mortensen says that the prospect of
another suit to tie up the railway taxes
will not embarrass the counties to such
an extent as might have been anticipated,
since warrants can be drawn against the
levies, and with the prevailing state of the
investment market, readily sold. The state
can keep on issuing general fund warrants.

WARNS COUNTY TREASURERS
Cannot Safely Accept Part Payment Of
Taxes from the Railroads
COURT ORDER NAY ENABLE THEM TO DO SO
Mrs. Lena Lille Much Depressed over
Refusal of the supreme Court
TO Grant Her a New
Hearing.
tFrom a stan Correspondent.l

LINCOLN, Nov. 3-(Special. )-Attorney
General Brown said today that county
treasurers cannot safely accept the ten
ders of a part of the taxes now being
made by the agents OF the Union Pacific
and the Burlington. The law does not
provide for the acceptance Of portion Of
the tax due and makes no provision for
more than one receipt. 1t is taken for
granted that the two companies will en-
join the county treasurers from attempt
ing to collect the tax, and the attorney
general believes that the federal court
will insert a provision in the order per-
hitting the acceptance Of the amounts
offered without waving the right to the
balance, following the precedent estab-
lished in the order issued last year, when
similar exception was made, under
which a large percentage of the taxes was
paid and accepted by many Of the coun-
| ties
In order to- put the county officials on
their guard, the attorney general has is
sued a circular letter, which is copy
| OF his reply to a query from County At
torney c. o. French of Nemaha county
hinquiring as to the duty of the treasurer
to accept part payment Of the Burlington
| tax. He said:
| In reply 1 beg to advise you that the
| revenue law nowhere authorizes the county
| treasurer to receive a partial payment OF
taxes which appear on his books to be due
from any person or corporation. IL is OBJ
vious from AN inspection of the law In
| question that 1t was the intention OF the
| legislature to authorize the tax collector
| to collect taxes in full. There is no dis
| tinction made between taxpayers. They
| should all be treated alike. The treas
urer is required by law to keep a set OF
| books: his form of receipt is prescribed
| by statute; his warrant to collect taxes,
| and the manner of making payment, all
| lead to but one conclusion, and that Is
that the treasurer has a right to refuse;
and it is his duty to refuse, tender OF
! anything less than the full amount due
| as shown on his books The treasurer Is
| vested by law with no discretion or judy
| ment touching the validity of the tax as
| sessed or any portion Of 1t. In the alb
| sence of an order of a court having 1uris-
| diction of the subject directing or author
| izing the treasurer to do otherwise, am
| clearly of the opinion that it is the duty
| of such officer to refuse to receive from
| any taxpayer a portion OF the taxes as
sessed against him. The warrant of the
treasurer provided by law commands him
! to collect taxes: this means all taxes as
sessed, and not portion thereof.

IAPAN's WAR BURDEN.

The 5gregate amount of money
which Japan is spending on its war
with Russia would be tremendous even
for a wealthy nation: for a country
without a prolific soil and lacking great
industries the total seems infinitely
more stupendous.
So far, since the war began. in Feb
Tuary of 1904, Japan has raised in loans
$500, 900, 900 and $1S7, 100000 in increased
taxes. And a new loan OF $50 000. 00O
is announced Only last March a loan
of this amount was fiOated. 1t was
then announced that this amount
would be sufficient to meet the ex-
penses of the war during the remain
der of 1905. Japan seems to have erred

of a favorable market or the favoring

THE WAR ON HOPPERs.

Crickets are again making their ap-
pearance in some of the southern dis
tricts of the state. Complaints are
also being made to the department of
agriculture at Washington. APPEAR
entity agricultural districts throughout
the mountain states are all being in
jured by these pests. The department
has promised to aid these communities
with advice and otherwise so far as
possible. In past years experiments
have been made with grasshopper fun
Ci but the results were not satisfac-
tory in many instances. In Utah the
best method has been found to be the
collection and destruction of the in
sects. Several counties have given
bounties sufficient in amount TO make
the gathering of the hopper a profitable
industry for children. In some places
n variation of the ordinary festivity
has been ''grasshOpper parties" at

long campaign against the insect and
following their destruction a dance or
some other form of amusement.

domestic animals.

this engagement that the famous hu-
morous ditty we Fought Nit Sigel,"
was written-an unfailing source of
patriotic mirth at every gathering of
Germans in America.
Sigel's services to the United States
certainly entltle him to the distinc-
ton which the German citizens Of this
country propose to bestow upon him.
He was valiant patriot in time of
national stress. He was a military man
before coming to America. While a
young man of "a he took a prominent
part in the Baden revolution in 1S4S
and in consequence was forced to fec
from Germany. He took refuge first in
Switzerland, then in England, later
coming to the United States. Going to
St Louis, he was n school teacher at
the outbreak of the war. The beginning
OF hostilities aroused the old military
ardor, and ne began the organization
of his afterwards famous German reg
iments. Many historians commonly
ascribe the failure of Missouri to cast
its lot with the confederacy TO the in
huence of these German regiments.
