of fall entertainments is the From
tier DAYS Festival to be given at
Grand Island. October 6. Z and s. The
Commercial club of that city is be-
hind the enterprise and has raised
5. 600 to pay the prizes and expenses.
The program will include all the spec
tacular wild west performances, and
will have as adiuncts a troop of
United States cavalry and a band of
Sioux Indians. There is also to be
display of farm products. with lib
eral prizes.
BY unanimous vote Grand island
was chosen as the place for the next
annual convention OF the Nebraska
Travellers association, which closed
its first annual gathering at Hastings.
Invitations we're presented also by
Omaha, Beatrice and Nebraska City.
The commercial club of York is en-
couraging a proposition to promote an
electric railroad from Lincoln to York
and thence in a northwesterly direction
to Central City or west to Grand Is
lard. From Lincoln to York the road
would traverse rich farming territory
and would run about midway between
the two Burlington railroads.
The entire crop of the Reed fruit
farm three miles west of Peru was dis
posed of to a South Dakota firm for
the lump sum of $500. Experts say
that the shipping firm got real bar
gain and several home parties are on
the lookout for any other such sales.
At the close of the first week the
registration at Nebraska Wesleyan
is heavier than that at the
same time a year ago. There is a
increase in the enrolment
in the college of liberal arts. which is
quite satisfactory to the authorities.
as it is desired to make it by far the
leading school in the university.

CENTRAL BANK IS
 HAMILTON'S IDEA
TRIBUTE IS PAID TO THE FIRST SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY BY HIS SUCCESSOR, GEORGE B. CORTELYOU.

New York, January 11.-(Special.) )-That Alexander Hamilton as the first finan- cier of this country, originated the plan for the first central federal bank a plan that the government may again find it needful to adopt, was the keynote of Sec retary Corteiyou's address at the banquet of the Hamilton club in Brooklyn tonight.
 He paid a glowing tribute to Hamilton, who was the first Secretary of the Treas ury under Washington He told of HamIl- tons concern for the countrys finances, while Washington was struggling to free the country from English rue and added:
 "The system of Hamilton was that, while it created bank whose operations extended to every part of the country, and by means of which the revenues were collected and disbursd it allowed the ere aton of state or local banks, by means of' whose issues the greater part of the eX- changes must always be affected. The system was ideally as well as practically perfect in all its parts.
 Tt is a tribute to his financial ability and foresight that after the lapse or so many years, with largely expanded ma tional domain and a greatly increased population, many of our most thoughtful students of finance believe that eventually we shall have to adopt again some similar system"

TRYING TO PREVENT
 SALE OF THE ASSETS
FURTHER ACTION IS TAKEN RE. GARDING THE PROPERTIES OF THE SOUTHERN STEEL COM. PANY IN CHATTANOOGA.

Chattanooga, January 11-Arrange-
 ments have been made to prevent the sale of the assets of the Southern Steel company at public auction by the re- turn of separate properties to the for mer owners, the receivers retain pos session of the manufactured irons and
 materials until final settlement has been made with the creditors. To that end a petition was filled during the week in the federal court at Birming- ham by Attorneys Chambliss & Cham bliss of Chattanooga, and A F. Good hue of Gadsden for the return of the property in the state of Ala bama to the possession of the Lacey-Buek Iron company. The American Trust and Saw ings bank of Chicago, trustees for about $2000.000 worth of collateral notes guaranteed by the stock of the company, and w. F. Stowers of Gads- den. Judge Hundley set January 20 as the date of the hearing.
 Following the action in Birmingham a petition was filed in the local federal court in which the Trust Company of America of New York trustee, under mortBaSe to secure an original issue of 100000 of bonds, and the Chat tanooga Iron and Coal company for the possession of the properties of the local company. The petition was signed by Attorney J. c. Boston of New York and Chambliss & Chambliss of this city, representing the petitioners.
 The bondholders and trustees of col lateral notes for the Georgia Coal and Iron company in Georgia is attempting to wind up the affairs of that company by foreclosure proceedings now pend ing in the state courts. Had the af- fairs of the Georgia branch of the Southern Steel company has been taken to the federal court originally by the cred itors, similar proceedings to those in- stituted in Chattanooga and at Bir- mipgham would have been employed, th{s disintegrating the Southern Steel conipany and returning all of the prop critics to the original companies.

HAS ELKINS LAW
 BEEN REPEALED?
STANDARD OIL COMPANY ATTOR- NEYS TAKE THE VIEW THAT LAW IS DEAD AND COMPANY WILL ESCAPE.

Chicago, January 1.-Attorneys for the Standard Oil company today filed peti- ton in the United States circuit court oi appeals, asking that body to certify to the supreme court of the United States an allegation as to the validity of the Elkins law under which the oil company was re- gently indicted, convicted and fined $29, 240000 for rebating. The step is taken in pursuance of the appeal filed by the com pany against the big fine.
 It is contended by the company's attor- neys that the Elkins law was repealed by the passage of the Hepburn bill in 1906. The same contention has been announced in an appeal to the supreme court by the Great Northern Railway company, which appeal is now pending. The Stand ard oil company's petition seeks to have the question certified in the oil case so that it may be decided when the Great Northern case is settled. The judges of the court of appeals have taken the peti- tion under advSement.
 Whether the seven other cases pending against the Standard Oil company of In diana will be tried depends upon the out come of the appeals in the first case. Should the Elkins law be declared in- valid, all indictments against the corpor- alton will be rendered void, as would also the fine of $29, 240,000. Edwin W. Sims, United States district attorney, and his chief assistant in the oil cases, James H. Wlkerson, left today for Washington. None of the attaches of the office would discuss the trip, but it is thought that the local officials are to confer with the attorney general regarding the present status of the case and the approaching crisis in them.
