the orders Of Judge B. F. Good, who pre-
sided over the trial of c. NJ. Chamberlain
at Auburn two weeks ago, has brought
proceedings against Frank A. Taylor OF
this county in the Johnson county court
on the charge Of perjury. Judge Good be-
lieved the testimony given by Taylor, who
was vice president OF the failed Chamber
lain bank in cases in this county pending
on the bank failure and in the case at
bar in Auburn was different. Mr. Taylor
says he thinks the Judge, who was brought
into this district to try this particular
case and was not familiar with the pro-
ceedings preceding, would not have made
the order could he have been enlightened
on all of the circumstances. Judge James
Livingston of the county court bound Mr.
Taylor over for appearance for a prelimi-
nary examination in his court on Monday
November 10. Bond was fixed at 81. 900 and
was given. Mr.. Taylor is a respectable and
well known farmer.
District court for johnson county is
scheduled to convene in this city next
Monday, though 1t is probable an adjourn
ment will be taken over election day
Judge w. H. Kelligar of Auburn will pre-
side. The docket contains thirty-nine civil
cases and twenty-five criminal cases. Fiji
teen of the criminal cases are against
Charles NJ. Chamberlain, ex-banker, on

gave an eloquent and comprehensive ad-
dress upon the plan and merits of the

the first district convention in particular.
1t is a compliment to him to assert that
his address was the keynote OF all subse-
quent action w. X. Ricksbaugh of Wayne

Clark as a committee on credentials. The
report of the credentials committee seated
every delegate present. Rev. DR.. Schleh

bridge Designer Resigns.
Joseph c. Cutter. who was appointed
some time ago by Secretary Dobson Of the
State Board OF Irrigation to draw plans for
bridges under the law enacted by the late
legislature whenever plans were requested
by counties. has resigned his place and
gone TO California. Mr.. Cutter was ap-
pointed from Omaha. He will spend the
winter I'm California. II Is probable that
no one will be appointed in his place, as
the demands OF the counties are so few
and far between that the general plans pre-
pared by him will likely be sufficient to
supply the demand.
Reports for lows Court.
Minor Bacon left today for Harlan. Ia,
where he will relieve Court Reporter Brue-
ington in reporting court at that place.
Just how long he will remain Mr.. Minor
did not know, as his telegram merely re-
quested him to report Monday morning.
Would Prosecute EnumeratOrs.
In the opinion Of State Treasurer Morten-
sen, those enumerators OF school children
who padded the lists in order that their dis
tricts could secure more of the school APP
portionment should be prosecuted Grim
inaly.
1T is nothing but graft" said Mr.. Nor
Jensen, because the enumerators were
paid so much per name and every name
that they fraudulently put on the list
sweled their pay. consequently It was an
inducement for them to pad the lists. l
suppose it is the duty of the county at
torney to bring the proceedings and hope
It will be done in this and Douglas coun-
ties and in every other county where the
lists have been padded. There is no doubt
in my mind but what this graft has been
carried on for years and it is time to stop
1t. The proceedings should be started
against the enumerators.
II agree with Mr.. McBrien that the best
way to enumerate school children is by the
attendance. This would to great degree
stop the graft, as the teachers would have
to report to the superintendent and he to
the state superintendent and thus 1t would
be more difficult to pad the lists"

WOMAN Is BEHEADED BY TRAIN
Mrs. Wacha Is Killed at Dangerous
Crossing mt SCHUYLER.

OEObSAnB NJ
SCHUYLER, Neb., Nov. 4-(Special y
Mrs. Vaclav Wacha was struck aud in
stantly killed at the mill crossing about
o'clock yesterday afternoon by the mail
section of Union Pacific train No. 10. The
body was thrown fully 125 feet, the head
being knocked entirely off the trunk. Mrs.
Wacha had been to town to do some trad
ing and was returning home. The place
where the accident occurred is a bad place,
the mill being close by the track, and the
noise OF the machinery completely browns
the noise made by approaching trains.
According to Joseph Buresh, an employe
OF the mill, and the only eye witness of the
accident, Mrs. Wacha attempted to cross
the track and was nearly across with one
foot on the other side when the train struck
her. The train stopped and waited until the
sheriff arrived. Considerable trouble was
experienced in identifying the remains, as
the clothing was the only means, the face
and head being crushed beyond recognition.
No less than six deaths have occurred at
this particular spot in the last ten years.
The railroad company has electric gongs
here to be installed at this place, but the
work has not yet commenced.
