court will take judicial notice OF the

The grounds upon which defendant
demurred to the fourth and fifth
counts of plaintiffs IS petition are that it
is not alleged that plaintiff has not re-
ceived his salary OF $1S00.00 as sheriff,
and that slS0O.00 constitutes the full
salary of plaintiff as sheriff and that
the county is not liable to plaintiff in
excess of $500. 10 per annum.
Where the receipts of the office for
the preceding year and the salary al
lowed by the board of supervisors TO-
gether amount to less than $l8OO.0O in
counties in the class to which defendant
belongs, the entire compensation in-
cluding receipts of the Office and sal
ary are TO be increased so the sheriff
will have compensation of $500. 90
and no more.
The failure to state that plaintiff has
not already received $lS00.0O in the
manner and from the sources indicated
make the petition vulnerable to a de-
murrer for without such statement a
cause of action is not stated against
defendant.
The proffered evidence as to furnish
ing of soap and matches is stricken out
for the reason that no claim therefor
was filed with the board of supervisors
and payment thereof refused or neglect
ed by said board.
1 am constrained to hold that the
compensation of the sheriff from salary,
fees and allowances (other than for
boarding prisoners) can not exceed
S1S00.00 per year. In determining
compensation to be given the sheriff,
the board of supervisors may allow him
for waiting on and washing for pris-
oners, and If these allowances with
fees and salary aggregate SlSO0.00 the
sheriff cannot maintain an action for

Judge Hobson's Rulings on Demur.
rers in the Campbell Case.

The clerk of the courts received on
Wednesday ruling from Judge Hob
son in the case of Ex-sheriff Campbell
VS. Howard County. The judge sus-
tains several of the defendants de-
murrers to plaintiffs petition, but still
leaues the final disposition of the case
an open question. While the judge is
of the opinion that the state laws limit
to $500 per arnum the amount a sher-
iff may receive in counties of the pop
ulation of Howard exclusive of board
for prisoners) he qualities this opinion
by citing a supreme court decision
which shows that a sheriff may also
recover for washing for and waiting on
the prisoners.
The written entry in the case filed
by Judge Hobson follows in full:
This action was commenced April
10th, 1907, to recover extra compensa-
tion as sheriff OF defendant county.
Plaintiff was the sheriff of Howard
county from January, 1896, until jan
uary, 1907, period of eleven years,
comprising five terms in office as such
sheriff.
A demurrer was filed by defendant to
the first, second and third counts of the
petition assailing each of said counts
on the ground that the causes of action
accrued more than five years before the
commencement of this action.
The demurrer is we'll taken as to
each of said counts. aud they are each
barred by the statute of limitations.
Howard county has l3, ,523 inhabitants
as shown by the last census. The
salary of sheriff is regulated by the
statute providing compensation for
sheriffs in counties having apopulation
of more than 11.00O inhabitants, and
less than $4,000 inhabitants. The

any amount in excess'of this allowance.
That washing bedding for prisoners
is proper charge which should be al
lowed by the board of Supervisors.
That other charges sought to be re-
covered in this action are excluded the
same authority seems to indicate.
Finally 1 am of the opinion that the
statement covering washing for and
waiting on prisoners should state par
ticularly and specifically the partiular
services claimed for-the extent of such
service and the particular person for
whom rendered.

DECIDE IN MARCH.
If Improvements in Omaha Freight
Yards Are to Be Made This Year.

An engineering official of the Omaha
road stated to The Free Press yesterday
that it has not yet been decided whether
any changes or Improvements will be
made in the local yards this year, nor
will it be decided until after the annual
inspection in March. At that time the
different Improvements needed along the
entire line will be considered, together
with the business outlook and probable
receipts. If bushes should be good, the
roads would feel warranted in setting
aside IL certain amount for improve
ments taat otherwise could be delayed.
After it has been decided to set aside an
fund, it will be decided
where 10 eXpcnd it. improvements are
needed at many points, and those con-
sidered most necessary will be made.
That Mankato will be included in this
list is hoped for, but by no means GER
tain. When the officials make their
spring inspection they will observe the
benefits that proposed changes in the
yards would bring about. As before stat
Ell by The Free Press, large, new
brick freight depot and change in the
location OF switch tracks have been con-
sidcred as desirable whenever it is de
ciGed to make any improvements.

DELEGATES ARE AGREED.
Tariff Arrangement Between Ger
many and This Nation.
From MOndav'S Toilv

OF special Importance TO the cattle
and beef industries of the country is the
news which has reached the state de-
partment from Berlin announcing that
the American and German tariff com
missioners fhad reached an agreement ON
all questions of tariff differences be-
tween the two countries.
Whether this agreement will be car
ried into effect will depend, of course,
upon congress, but whether or not con
gress acts, the authorities say, much has
been accomplished in the development
or plan whereby commercial questions
which have troubled German American
relations for years may be adjusted.
The report of the American commits.
sioners is to be public and perhaps trans
mltted to congress by the president,
though the latter course will be opposed
by standpatters who do not want the
tariff question brought to the fore at
this time. The purpose of the latter
seems to be to delay revision at least
until 1909, and to steal the democratic
thunder by inserting in the republican
platform of the presidential campaign a
plank pledging the republican party to
such a policy. The authorities are alb
solutelv in the dark as to what conces-
sions the American commissioners will
recommend for Germany. Naturally
Germany would like to secure tariff re-
auctions on many of her imports, but
failing in this she has felt it her duty
to insist upon ~etter treatment for her
importers. She wapts simplification
Of the methods followed in connection
with the valuation of goods and the ac
ceptance of the invoice at what it says

Secretary Root is in full sympathy
with the desire of, Germany for better
tariff relations, but he can do nothing
unless congress authorizes action. In
answering inquiries, therefore, he has
explained what the American and Ger
nam commissions are doing, and sug9es-
ted that his correspondent, if they want
permanent relief, should communicate
with their senators and members of
congress.

BEARS FOR THE PARK
Cubs Secured to Take Place Of
Wolves that Were Killed.


Some time ago the council accepted
an offer from Fritz Busch to donate
two wolves to the zoo at Sibley park
Unfortunately the wolves have been kill
ed, and the park will not have that
species of animal in its cages. Mr.
Busch had bought some land of the
owner of the wolves, but this man.
brother took ofrense because he sold and
one day while drunk went to the hous,
ard shot the two wolves as they were
playing in the yard.
In place of the wolves, the park will
receive couple of bear cubs from Du-
luth soon after the first of the year.
Mr.. Busch has felt interested in CIV
ing the park something now that his
proposed gift of the wolves cannot be
made, and he and Leo s. Lamm have
got track of a couple. of bear cubs.
These will doubtless make greater pets
than the wolves would have done.

address on the home and it's influences.
She said in part:
The Importance of the home in the
education of the child cannot be over
estimated, but of course as the home has
become less isolated social life and city
life have usurped to large degree the
tremendous influence formerly exerted
by the home.
Cooperation, therefore, between the
home and the school is the supreme
thing to be desired, for it is in this way
only that the best results may be OBJ
tanned. Teachers must make an effort
to meet and get acquainted with the pa
rents of their children, for this helps
wonderfully in the training of the child
Furthermore, this must be done in the
homes of the children and not merely at
social functions and entertainments
given by the children at the school
