81. JOSEPH q GRAND ISLAND.
Point I'm Express Cnue,

At the hearing before Referee Sullivan
as to whether the state is entitled to an
injunction to prevent the American Ex-
press company from violating the sib ey
law, Judge Sullivan requested the attorneys
to file briefs on the question whether the
express compahies are Untitled to earn
money on a franchise given a railroad. 1t
was brought out that the express com
pany pays the railroad 81 per cent OF it's
earnings for operating expenses. The ex-
press companies operate under a franchise
given the railroad by the state. Judge Sui
Ivan wanted some legal light on the mat
ter.
Showing that the delivery and pickup is
not so important as the express companies
assert, Rate Clerk Powell of the railway
commission testified that the state bust
ness Of the American company in Nebraska
during the last year, as shown by station
reports of the company, consisted of 5O2,-
6ls transactions, and So per cent Of these
took place at nondelivery and partial de-
livery offices. The company's net income,
exclusive of money order business in Ne
braska was S2,726.32 or SO per cent, and its
grand total income on state business in Ne
braska for the year was A.295.6s, or SO per
cent.

Telegram. miss Vivian Cheney, for three
years a student at Brownell Hall, Omaha,
and the daughter of II. A. Cheney, presi-
dent Of the Security bank here. committed
suicide this forenoon by swallowing car
bolic acid. She belongs to one OF the oldest
and most prominent families in Knox
county and was a favorite at Brownell Hail
because OF her light-hearted disposition.
She was II years old.
The cause of the act is supposed to be
disappointment because she could not come
to Omaha a week before Brownell Hall
opened. though 1t is also believed she took
the drug TO brighten her parents into let
ting her come, expecting to take an anti
dote which would prevent death.
She had her trunk packed, ready for the
trip, her parents being under the impress
sion school opened this week. When they
learned 1t would not open for another week
they insisted she wait. She was very much
disappointed. About 11:9O she went into a
room adjoining that her mother was in and
swallowed the contents OF a small bottle OF
acid. She rushed out to her mother and
told her what she had done, telling Mrs.
Cheney to give her eggs and milk to coun-
teract the effects. This was done, and a
physician was called, but in a few minutes
she was dead. About three years ago Miss
Cheney ran away from home. but was
found and brought back before she had
gone far. Five years ago her grandfather,
George e. Cheney. fell down an elevator
shaft in the Drexei hotel in Omaha and
was killed.
