popularity supposed to have been
purchased by the town along with
the water right but which the
court holds is the property of S.
E. Fleming, was explained by DR..
F. Wenz who addressed the board
on the subject in behalf Of the
Rathdrum Water & Power COM
pany the members of which had
been requested to be present. with
a view to asking them to make
good for the FIVE acres. After
hearing the deed fully read, DR..
Wenz pointed out that the water
company did not sell any FIVE acres
of land 10 the town together with
the water right and system, as has
been popularity but enormously
supposed ever since the town pur-
chased the system in 1906. He
stated that in the early COS the
water company filed water right
on Spring Branch creek. This
water right was recorded with a
description of its location. The
description is by meets and bounds
and says it contains five acres
more or less. When the town
bought the water system the COM
pany conveyed all title and interest
to the water right and reservoir,
mains, etc, but did not expressly
convey title to any land in emu.
merating the water right and its
appurtenances. The clause in the
deed, which conveys title, contains
no mention of FIVE acres of land,
that occurring only in another
clause describing the water right,
and upon this showing DIR. Wenz
contended that no land was con-
veyed and the town could have no
, recourse against the water com
pany. The matter was discussed
by the board for short time and
then dropped.
The board then transacted an
important piece of business by
having the contract for power
cancelled. Mr.. A. o. Skinner of
the Rathdrum Electric company
was present and offered to cancel
the contract if the board would
give him $2oo or a bill of sale OF
the I5-horse power motor, valued
at about $24o. The contract was
signed up last June for a period oil
, three years at $500 a year, and
the town has paid S25 month
since then for power for which il
has had no use, the proposed
pumping plant having failed te
materialize. After some discus
sion during which it developed
that the board never expects tt
have any use for the power or TO
the motor, it was agreed that Mr.
Skinner should cancell the con
tract and take the motor. Mr.
Skinner showed that it was tn
best terms he could make as h.
had entered into 5-year contrac
with the w. w. P. company il
order to furnish to the village an,
that the power cost him whethe
the town used it or not. 1t is est

board saves the town about S37

Former Omaha RabbiS
Get Into the Limelight

WASHINGTON, March 1o-Special Tele-
gram. "A small-siEed tornado which has
been raging in this vicinity for some time
around the figures of two former Omaha
Jewish rabbls has broken out into letters
to the public. 1t seems that about two
months ago the Emanuel synagogue OF San
Francisco set out to engage a successor
to the late DIT. Voorsanger. who, before
his death was one of the eminent leaders
of the Jewish church. The berth was sup
posed TO be a most desirable one, carrying
with IL a salary of 5000 year, and among
the rabbis who were considered as worth
angling for were Rabbi Abraham Simon,
now of Washington, and Rabbi William
Rosenau. now of Baltimore. each of them
at one time rabbi for the Temple Israel Of
Omaha.
The imminent prospect of losing the
services of their rabbi when presented to
the trustees of DR.. Rosenau's congrega-
tion. had the immediate effect OF securing
for him a raise OF 1900 a year and the
congregation here also took steps TO make
sure OF holding the services OF Mr.. Simon.
At this stage a paper issued as a semi
official publication of the Temple Emanuel
at San Francisco came out with an un-
equivocal statement that neither Rabbi
Rosenau nor Rabbi Simon had had any call
TO San Francisco. and intimating that any
pretense OF call to secure moro money
from their present congregations would
come under the head of unprofessional con-
duct.
To establish and confirm their confidencs

OF the Washington Hebrew congregatio

CUSTER CASE WILL co UP
Standard Oil and Republic Fill
Appeal Bonds in Missouri.
HAND OF STATE IS STAYED
Both Companies VIII Have Right to
Continue in Business Until Case
is Decided by Highest
Tribunal.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, March 10
An appeal bond of 100000 will be the
basis on which writ of error for an
appeal to the supreme court of the
United States will be granted to the
Standard OIL company of Indiana and
the Republic OIL companw of Ohio, ac-
cording to the action taken by the su-
preme court of Missouri today.
The appeal acts as stay of execution
on the Judgment announced by the court
yesterday by which the custer DEGREES
against the companies were affirmed.
Both the Indiana and Republic COM
panies will have the right to continue
business I'm the state pending decision
by the federal tribunal.
The former according to its last re-
port to the secretary of state. has real
and personal property in Missouri to the
value of $692,961.76. The Ohio corpora
tion is reliably reported to have ceased
business in the state about two years
ago and its interests are said to be so
small that they will scarcely cover the
$50 900 fine assessed against it by the
state court II the state decisions are
upheld in the United States supreme court
the Standard OIL company of Indiana will
be compelled to dispose of it's property
The prayer for writ of error was filed
| by Frank Hagerman of Kansas City. who
acted as attorney for the Standard and
Republic companies in the custer suits
| He declared that the big bond demanded
by the court will be filed within a few
days and that the perfection OF the ap-
peal will follow shortly thereafter.
The attitude of the state toward the
appeal was stated by Attorney General
Major. who said that as soon as he re-
ceived proper notice that the case has
reached the supreme court in Washing
| ton he will enter a motion for the dis
missal of the writ OF error on the ground
that no federal question is involved. IL,

which the custer decree is based are
right and that they do not take private
