LAWYERS LOSE THEIR FEES
Slipped Up On by Their Client and
Now Sue for Money They
Claim,

When John j. Franck. a nephew of the
late Mathew ]. Franck, settled with his
uncle's estate for a claim he had filed
against it he failed to pay his lawyers.
and now the attorneys want the hearing ON
the CAIN reopened in order to give them
a chance to collect their fees. After Mr..
Franck's death young Franck filed claims
amounting to almost $4,000, asserting he
had come to this country from Belgium at
his uncle's request and on promises that
he would receive the property when his
uncle died. He employed Judge Langdon
and A. l.. Knabe to present his claims
on a contingent fee OF half of what was
received from the estate. Afterward, with
out the knowledge of his lawyers, he set
tied with the estate for $500. The attor-
neys are in coulty court seeking to have
Judge Leslie reopep the case so they can
collect their money!

agricultural, dairy and live stock produc-
ton for 1901 aggregated over $500, 600 1000. The
packing houses turned out food products
last year valued at Sl35. 100000. The promise
for this year is equally good. The corn crop
is estimated 10 be IS per cent Of the full
crop while wheat is 10 per cent. But the
high prices reiEning insure as much, II not
more money than in previous years. The
prosperity they have enjoyed has enabled
the farmers to pay off mortgages, to erect
new houses and outbuildings and to put
money aside. Since 1904. according to Of
fetal figures, the value Of farm land has
increased by 81 100000
These conditions make for republican
success. Then, too, on account Of the
agricultural conditions, there are COM
paratively few men out Of work. The rail-
road shops did not shut down during the
panic, but reduced time. They are run
ming now forty-eight hours a week in
stead Of fifty-four. the average last year,
but there has been no reduction in the pay
per hour. TIL building trades are in good
shape. AS stated above, however, the
democratic .anti-injunction proposition has
been favorably received among the rank
and file Of the industrialists, and from
present Indications Bryan may count upon
large support from them.
/ have made Il a point to talk with
business men in regard to Taft and Bryan,
and 1 have found the same opposition to
the Nebraskan that existed in 1896 and
1900. Only a few OF them, originally demo-
Gratis. say they will return to their old
faith and vote for the Denver nominee.
Bryan has numerous handicaps here at
home-his free silver proposition, the
danger OF which now Is recognized by his
home people. his snti-imperialistic attitude.
which slienated the Nebraska volunteers
and their friends. who fought in Cuba and
the Philippines, and many Of the veterans
Of the civil war, and now his attitude
toward properly rights, which is frighten-
ing the small business man.
So, in spite Of the fact that Bryan is Ne
braska's fayorltG son. the republicans feel
confident they stand an excellent chance

Missouri Pacific Objects to Rate.
The Missouri Pacific will give a rate of
one and a half fare for the cste9esfair. The
company does so willingly, however. 1t
sent the following telegram to the State
Railway commission.
This Is to advise your honorable body
that for the Nebraska state fair at Lincoln
this company will make a rate of a fare
and a half for the round trip from points
on It's lines in Nebraska. This action on
the part Of this company becomes necessary
by reason of similar rates being announced
10y other railroad companies at points COM
petitive with this company, thereby estab-
lishing competition which cannot be con-
fined to passenger travel, but must neces-
sarily be reflected in the movement Of
freight, because of the prejudice and bitter
feeling that would be engendered in case
this company did not meet the rates OF its
competitors in serving an enterprise of such
a character as a state fair. In taking this
action we hold the reduced rates estab-
lished do not return fair compensation for
the service rendered, but we are moved
solely in the matter by the act Of our com
petitors and our desire to serve the citizens
In a matter of such state pride and 1t Is
with the understanding that this action on
our part will not In any way prejudice the
application Of this company now pending
before your board for an increase In passen-
ger rates.
