A little Lobster saisd,
Terrapln, and other things.
And In a very little while
A doctors phone bell rings.
The terrapin is on his feet,
The Holsters found his claw,
And Judging from the inner man
Theirs is the "Unwritten Law"
The case is quickly diagnosed
As Inside Information,
On how a lobster and terrapin
Can raise so much tarnation.
The trouble found, It was the Trims
To furnish quick relief,
And the way Of Rydale's Stomach
Was Simply beyond belief.

SMALL STATION is DOOMED
Little Depot is a Dead One IL Rail-
roads Have Their Way,
Says south DakOtan,

Regardless OF denials being issued daily
by the railroad companies that they are
inconveniencing the travelling public, the
doom of the small railroad station has
been scaled, according to E. T. Hammer
of Deadwood, S. D, who is IN Omaha re-
turning from trip in the eastern part of
his state.
II found ne less than a dozen stations
practically closed" said Mr.. Hammer at
the Rome. "Booge, Laboit, Rauville, Grover
and other small stations are without on
orators on the Great Northern, while the
Milwaukee d St Paul has closed the tele-
graph office at Elrod and Oldham to my
certain knowledge.
4 believe the citizens OF Elrod. which
is a prosperous little place, appealed TO the
State Railroad commission to prevent the
action Of the railroads. Some OF the sta
lions have been closed entirely, while eth
ers have simply been changed from teIe-
graph to railroad stations. but no tele-
grams viii be received nor delivered at the
stations.
Talking with one Of the railroad COM
missioners / heard him make the preiic-
tion that while 100 new towns had been
born in South Dakota within the last two
years, the railroads would kin a large
number Of them by reducing the depot
forces. But the state commission cannot
reach the railroads. understand most OF
the economy is because OF the nine-hour
telegraphers law. but some is undoubtedly

OMAHA CENTER oF CORN BELT
Fact Recognized in Locating Nationa,
Exhibit in the Metropolis
of Nebfaska.

James Walsh OF Benson, who has grown
corn on both sides of the equator and re-
ceived corn from all parts Of the world at
Liverpool. declares that in bringing the
national corn show to Omaha the city
would be again recognized as the center
Of the corn growing territory OF the world
The five counties close TO Omaha, one
OF them across the river. grow the largest
mature ears Of big yellow corn in the
great wide world" says Mr.. Walsh. Ne
braska exhibited eighty distinct varieties
of corn al St Louis, Every known va
riety OF corn does well in the state.
Omaha seems 10 be the dividing line OF
al extremes, climatieslly speaking. as IA
ture seems to be very much puzzled Ia
tsAs latitude, owing to the changing condl-
tons from the spring wheat country north
of us TO the winter wheat section south.
II seems TO me that nature is 50 mixed in
this section that all things are done well.
which accounts for the splendid conditions
that exist only in this section. I therefore
think 20 push a corn show at the present
time is the best move that Omaha has
made since the exposition"

This conviction has grown stronger az

Friday morning Judge AicHugh asked the
court TO allow him $4,000 Tor his services
and stated he thought $50 900 a fair amount
to allow the executors for their work The
law allows q commission based on the
emount Of property handled by the execu-

Judge McHugh. on The grounds IT was ex-
cessive- He declared $4,000 to be as large
a fee as the courts should allow and pointed
out that the late Judge woolworth attor-
ney for the executor in the Lucretia Creigh-

BANK OF IRELAND VICTOR
wins Point In suit by Judge RuIinR
it is Beyond His Juris-
ditiOn.

Judge w H. Munger handed down
memoranda opinion in the United States
circuit court Friday morning in which he
directs that the bin. of Mrs. May Amanda
Murphy, widow OF David Murphy OF Dixon
county, against the Bank OF Ireland be
stricken from the record on the ground
that the federal court has no jurisdiction
in the particular question involved in this
bin
Mrs. May Amanda Murphy alleges In her
petition that she is the widow of David
Murphy. who died IL Dixon county. Ne
braska, in January.s 1905. possessed of
large property, personal and real. He
willed that upon the death of his wife the
property should be h6onverted into cash.
one-half OF which should be placed in the
Bank of ireland. the income OF which
should be paid annually into the teachers
IND of the Carue National School Of
Csrue. Wexford county, Ireland.
The will was probated in Dixon county
in May 1907 Immediately thereafter Mrs
Murphy filed a plea in the county court
alleging the executor had reduced the per-
sonal property to cash and after the pay
ment of all claims there remained about
sl2.OOo. She pleaded that the clause OF her
husbands viii as to the teachers fund be
declared void and that one-half OF the pro
ceeds OF the sale Of the personal property
be turned over to her and that her hus-
band should be declared 20 have died in
testate as TO that portion Of the will She
assailed the validity Of the probate OF the
will
Judge Munger holds that an entirely new
and distinct issue from that presented in
the original application to the county court
wherein the federal court is asked 20 ad-
judicate upon matters over which Il has
no jurisdiction. For this reason the mo-
tion Of the attorneys 10 strike this bill

The case will now so back 70 the original
