clemency of the weather which has pre-

However. farmers feel little apprehen-

RULING ON THE soAvENGER LAW
Judge Jessen Interprets the Rights of
County TO Bid.


NEBRASKA CITY, May 5.-(Special)-
Judge Jessen of the district court has
handed down a decision that is Of i'm
portance to the people Of the state as it
is a new Interpretation OF what is called
the scavenger law When the county
treasurer sold at public sale a number OF
pieces OF property the commissioners bid
in some and the remainder went TO private
bidders Later the commissioners raised
their bid on a number OF pieces and
among them was piece that w. F. Hair
bid on, and he brought suit to compel the
treasurer to deed him the property and
accept his money The first question
raised was whether the commissioners had
a right to bid on any delinquent property
except on the regular day of sale and
this was decided in the negative The
next question was where were the com
mssioners to get the money to pay
for the property and would they have to
pay the IS per cent per year the same as a
private citizen. The decision was that
the commissioners had no right to bid ex-
cept at regular sales. This puts the COM
mlssioners in a peculiar position as they
bought a great deal OF property al private
sale, and IT will cost the county many
thousands Of dollars. The case will be
appealed.

CHICAGO, May Ss--That the city OF Chi
easo haS for years been violating the civil
service law was brought to light by the
investigation OF the police department,
which resulted yesterday in indictments
being returned against four city officers
and two dsteotives under former WNyor
Dunne's administration. The invest n
begun ten days ago followed chars ~
during the recent mayoTalty cempais "
former Chief Of Police Collins had "a
his department to further the intereb
of DHnne by asking and receiving money
fron members Of the police force for the
support Of the democratic candidate.
During the investigation inspectors, cap
tains and patrolmen testified that far
back as they could remember they had
been assessed a certain amount for cam
paign purposes at each city election, no
matter whinh party was in power. Ac-
cordinE to the inspectors who testified be-
fore the C1vI Service commission. it was
not compulsory to subscribe tc this fund,
still the impression s-Wlyl prevailed
throughout the deparu-lent chat it was
for TIE best interests OF every body in the
department to comply According to the
testimony submitted, on which the four in
dctmen,s were returned records of the
police depe.tla snt had been 'nutilated and
destroyed; yolice officers had been used
for political work while being paid by the
city to perform police duty and that per-
s indicted had been guilty OF lcvying
as .zments on city employees. togc her
with soliciting and receiving bribes from
saloonkeepers. The penalty for each Of
fense is the Ayment OF fine not ex-
ceeding $1,000 or Imprisonment in the peni-
tentiary.
Report of Grand Jury.
The grand jury in its report said
I'VE find indications OF corruption and
graft on the part of patrolmen and officers
that leads us to suggest that these mat
ters. which we have zen unable to in
vestigate thoroughly on account OF lack
of time. be fully gone into by the next
grand jury. The grant violations of She
civil service laws by the police of Chicago
show the necessity for vigilance on the
pert o. civil service boards to prevent
similar abuses ana violations by other de-
part snts Of tha county and city govern
ment under clvlr service regulations"
Preparations for the trial of the former
superintendent OF the Chicago police de-
partment as soon as possible win be made
by States Attorney Healy. The sta g

PLAGUE SWEPT INDIA.
In Ten Years There Have Been 4,411,2
Deaths-Mortaiity Increasing.

Daring the first three and half
months OF 1907 the deaths from the
plague in India totallcd $4,000. the
heaviest monthly mortality yet reported
during the epidemic. According to the
Indian World this would appear to show
that the present year will exhibit d rec
ord number of deaths.
The plague records for the ten years
October, 1896, to December, 1906, shows
that there was n large annual increase
from 1901 to 1904. the deaths number
ing 274,0O0 in 1901, $1,000 in 1902,
551 900 in 1903 and ! ,022 600 in 1904,
the worst year in ten years.
There was a small decrease in 1905,
the deaths falling to 95l.OO0. and a
large decrease in 1906, when there were
only $50 900. The total deaths for the
whole ten years numbered 4,4ll,212. The
improvement which was shown in the
two years 1905 and 1906 has not. I'M
fortunately, been maintained.
From the first appearance of the dis
ease up to the year 1901 the mortality
was greatest in the Bombay presidency,
but from 1902 onward, with one eXcep-
ton, the worst area has been the Pun
lab. and in 1905 the deaths in the latter
province alone numbered 3G4,62J.
