Prosecuting Attorney Dismissed Case
Against Alleged Boodlers.

St. Louis, Nov. 19.-The indictments
charging bribery against Ferd Warner
and F. w. Priesmeyer, members of the
house of delegates who were called to
trial in the criminal court yesterday
were nolle pressed by Circuit Attorney
Sagort. Judge Muench had granted a
severance and Delegate Warner was
placed on trial on the charge of ac-
cepting $1,000 for his vote on the or
dinance authorizing Henry Ascher to
erect a garage.
After the selection of a jury had
been commenced Circuit Attorney Sc
ger suddenly dismissed the charge
against Warner and also quashed the
similar charge against Priesm eyer.
The prosecutors action is believed to
have been taken because of flaws in
the Indictments. The two defendants
were released Immediately after Cir
cult Attorney Sager's announcement.
Mr.. Sager said later the charges
against Warner and Priesmeyer would
be submitted to the December grand
Jury which meets in two weeks.

Message Declaring That Ring

AtW 5oFCIuoi lOiloW
The current expenses Of the state
must be kept within the income 1t
will not do to increase the public debt
at this time.
II domestic mortgages are to be
taxed then certainly foreign mortgages
should be taxed. The sensible thing
to do is to tax all mortgages, both
foreign and domestic, as an interest in
real estate.
1t requires patriotism at times to
support and maintain a stable govern
ment. The railway corporations, by
their conduct, apparently lack that
noble quality. 1t is not strange that
their conduct has vexed patient peo
PIE. 1t is recommended that joint
resolution be passed memoralizing
congress to pass a law that will de-
prive nonresident from enjoining
the collection of tax levied upon
property within the state.
1t is expected that this legislature
will pass such measures as will for
ever put an end to ring rule in Ne
braska. It is to be hoped, therefore
that there will be passed not only an
anti-pass law and primary election
law, but that there will also be passed
law that will prohibis professional
lobbying.
1t is recommended that the railroad
commission be authorized by law to
control telephone companies and reg
ulate the rates thereof.
1t is recommended that a law be
passed prohibiting any railroad COM
pany from charging in the future any
more between points within this state
than were the charges on the first day
of January 1907
Let a law clearly and simply defin-
ing the powers of the railroad commits
sion be written SO plainly that it can
not be misunderstood and with such
deliberation that it can not be set
aside by the courts.
1t Is recommended that railroads be
deprived of the right to enjoin the en-
forcement of rate made by the
commission pending an appeal to the
state courts.
1t is further recommended that
joint resolution be passed memorable
ing congress to pass law that will de-
prive common carriers from enjoining
the enforcement of rates made by a
state commission between points with
in state pending an appeal to the
federal courts.
II is sincerely believed that II will
be for the best interests of the state
that Immediate attention be given to
the enactment of laws that will do

change is in Sec. s. which now directs that court-martial for the trial of of hcers and men of the militia, when in service of the United States shall be composed of militia officers oniy. This is to be amended so as to make it read the majority membership" of such court martial shall be composed of militia officers. Probably the most i'm portant change is in Sec. 13, which now empowers the secretary of war to issue standard magazine guns, bayo- nets. etc. to arm the militia as the army is armed. It is. proposed to amend this section by authorizing the secretary of war 10 issue from time to time under such regulations as he may prescribe, such number of the United States service guns and all ac- cessories and such other accoutre- ments, equipments, uniforms, cloth ing. equipage and military stores of all kinds required for the army of the United States, as are necessary to arm. uniform and equip all the organ
 ized militia in the several states, ter ritories and the District of Columbia, in accordance with the requirements of this act, without charging the cost or value thereof against the allotment of said state. etc, or requiring pay ment therefor. ..The secretary is also authorized to exchange ammunition for the new guns for ammunition for the Krags, and old equipment thus replaced is to be turned in to the war department and the new equipment accounted for by the governors as provided by law. The secretary is further authorized to fix an annual clothing allowance to each state for each enlisted man and to issue cloth
 ing annually in accordance with such allowance. and the governors are authorized to drop from their returns as expended, clothing corresponding in value to such allowance. Finally, the secretary is empowered to issue small arms and field artillery ammunition

4 CLOSER RELATION

Thinas to Be Considered at Meeting of the National Guard Association.

Washington. D. C.. Dec. 21.-(Special Correspondence of The Republican.)- Al the coming meeting of the National Guard Association in Boston. Jan. 13 1o r.. the most important legislation suggested since the enactment of the Dick law five years ago. will come be- fore the association. for discussion A meeting Of the executive committee was held in Washington recently with Acting Secretary of War oliver and members of the general staff at which the provisions of a bill were agreed upon which will take the place of the Dick act. IL is a very comprehensive measure and is believed by its authors to obviate many of the difficulties which have heretofore prevented the militia from complying with the re- quirements of the Dick act as to con- formation. Among important mOdifi- cations is one allowing each organized division of the militia one inspector of small arms practice with the rank of lieutenant colonel; each brigade, one with the rank of major: each regiment of infantry or cavalry one with the rank of captain; and each separate battalion or squadron, one with the rank of first lieutenant. The president is to be empowered to specify in his call the period of service, when the organized militia is called into service to repel invasion or suppress insur- rection. and the militia shall be so called into service in advance of any volunteer force which it may be de- termined to raise. Another important
