CoIeman,n Vacation strenuous.

Frank r. Coleman. marshal to the SUI
preme court, has returned from a two
weeks vacation, and after a short rest
will be able to attend to his duties at the
state house. Mr. Coleman had a most
delightful vacation, having been robbed Of
S17 by a pickpocket and having remained
in a dark room for eight days trying to
get his eye in shape to see. His vacation
was spent at his home in Omaha. The
second day of his outing, together with
several members of his family, he went
TO Manawa to see the sights. on the road
home his pocketbook was lifted by
woman who stood next to him in the
crowded car. Inssmuch as the pickpocket
overlooked his real pocketbopk, in which
he had collection of $50 bills, he was
not put out very much.
A few days later time began TO drag
and in fixing a table at his home a chunk
which he had knocked off flew up and
spurred him in the eye. 1t was thought
for a time he would lose his sight, but
the physicians managed 10 pull the eye
through all right. When he was able to
travel Mr. Coleman returned to Lincoln,
looking hale and hearty after his delightful
outing.

Figures of the Company.

Concerning supply of TeRchers-
Educational Exhibit mt the
state Fair.
(From a staff Correspondent. }

LINCOLN, Aug. 2O.-(special)-An in
vestigation Of the testimony taken in the
case of the Adams Express company,
against which temporary injunction now
stands to prevent that company from vio-
lating the sibley 25 per cent reduction on
express rates, shows the company itself
has furnished the evidence upon which the
legal department of the state Is asking for
a permanent injunction.
In the testimony is an exhibit showing
a comparative statement of the receipts
and expenses Of the company for the month
of June, 1907, and 1908. For June, 1907, the
company cleared above all expenses S9l4.S4,
or Al per cent, according to its own state
ment For June, 1908, the company cleared
above all expenses SsS9.1 Il. or 1.5 per cent.
According to the company this made loss
in earnings Of s6,574.63, due to the operation
of the Sibley law.
An analysis of the testimony and these
figures, however, shows that the express
company has no right to the $9l434, Its
net profits for the month of June, 1907.
The decrease still leaves the company, ac-
cordng to its own testimony, a net divi-
dend OF 1.5 per cent of its gross earnings.
This net earnings of the company is
compueted after the payment of office ex-
penses, stable expenses train service, mes
senger, general salaries, general expenses,
taxes, stationery and printing, legal eX-
penses and personal property.
For the month of June, 1907, the general
salaries amounted to s1,199.79, and for June,
I 1903, 81 ,257.29, an increase. Office expenses
were Increased from 81, 4,7OS. IS to s5.OSS.1s.
In this financial statement the company
does not show that it has any money in
vested In the state upon which It can
claim interest 1t will be the contention of
the legal department that the operation of
the sibley law has not injured the express
company. but that the company is not en-
titled to earn the amount shown in the
June 1907 statement that the law simply
| prevented them gouging the public in the
month of June 1905
