Preacher Has Runaway.

Boyd county Register: Rev. Mr.. Dill.
Ion met with what might have proven
very serious accident while return.
ing from the home of w. M. Holbert
Wednesday. He was driving along
the road just north of town when one
of his horses became frightened at the
fly nets and started to run away. The
tongue of the buggy broke and threw
Mr.. Dillon out on the ground, severely
wrenching one of his shoulders and
otherwise bruising him up. DR.. Oar.
row happened to be on his way out to
the Holbert home and was near when
the accident took place. He took Mr..
Dillon into his buggy and brought him
back to town, where he relieved the
pain as much as possible. 1t was very
fortunate that the accident only re-
suited in bruises, as such runaway
might easily prove very serious. Mr..
Dillon was unable to be up the rest of
the week.

ADVISES SUIT ON STATE TAX.
Omaha Commercial Club Committee
Makes Report on Law.

Omaha, July 27.-After investigation
of the act passed by the Nebraska leg
islature at it's late session, providing
for an occupation fee upon corpora
lions and known as senate file No. 10,
the judiciary committee of the Com
mercial club issued it's report.
The committee in it's investigation
finds the law is unconstitutional on
several counts, and declares it might
be attacked in several ways.
The first point brought out to show
the law is unconstitutional is that the
state has no power to levy an occupa-
ton tax, which the fee in the senate
file really is, and even is called in the
act itself an Occupation fee."
In conclusion the report advises
that the tax be paid under protest and
suit then be brought to test the con-
stitutionality of the act.

FINDINGS IN FAMOUS CASE.
Muller Files Report in Cantonwine
Bankruptcy.

Sioux Falls, S. d., July 27,-Bates &
Parliman, local attorneys who repre-.
sent creditors in the case, have re.
ceived a copy of the findings of Henry
A. Muller, referee in bankruptcy, in
the famous case of j. G. Cantonwine,
formerly engaged in the general mer.
chandise business at Armour, who be.
came involved in financial difficulties
soon after claiming that on the night
of September IS last he had been
robbed of $3.50 in cash. He alleged
that at the time of the robbery he had
in the little safe in his store $4,000 in
bills, $4,000 in gold and $500 in silver.
and that the safe was burglarized and
the money carried away.
In his findings Referee Muller holds
that the story of burglars entering and
robbing the safe is false and untrue,
and that the claim was a part of con-
spiracy on the part of Cantonwine and
his wife, Maggie Cantonwine, to con.
ceal the money for the purpose Of
cheating his creditors of the sum.
which the referee maintains now is in
their possession and wrongfully with
held from the trustee.

Senator Aliens Brief Says 1t Is Con.
fiscatory and ILLEGAL.

Madison, Neb., July 27.-Special to
The News: Senator VIM. V. Allen
has just completed his brief, compris-
ing forty-one pages, as counsel for
plaintiffs associated with John l.. Web
ster, solicitor for compliments, in an
action brought in the United States
circuit court, district of Nebraska
wherein the First National bank Of
Holstein, Neb., and fifty-one other
banks are plaintiffs, and Governor
Shallenberger, Auditor Barton, Treas
urer Brian, Attorney General Thomp-
son, Ed Royce, secretary of the state
board of banking, and Sam Patterson
are defendants.
The first seven pages or the brief
are directed to close analysis of the
guarantee banking act. 1t is first
urged that this act violates the federal
and state constitutions in so far as 1t
prohibits private banking. Quotations
from the bible, the Encyclopedia Bri.
tanica, decisions of the courts of error
of New York, of the supreme courts
of California, North Dakota, and Min
nesota are cited to show that private
banking is a fundamental right of the
citizen. 1t is then claimed and nu-
merous cases are cited to support the
contention that under the Fourteenth
amendment to the federal constitution
that private business, calling, or oc.
cupation of the citizen cannot be en-.
trenched upon by legislative enact.

have determined this fact 1t is urged
that under the language of the state
and national constitutions certain
rights and privileges are claimed to be
inalienable and that property cannot
be taken for public use without com
governmental privileges reserved tc
the people, one which is the right tc
pursue a private occupation =. II
is contended that the legislature can
not withdraw the rights to pursue 6
private calling and force the either
into banking corporation where the
stock can be taxed for the payment o.
Cases are cited to show that bankinl
is private business and is within the
protection of the Fourteenth amend

but for private purpose. 1t is urged
that under the constitution privat,
property can be taken for public pur

Dallas, S. D., July 27-Special to
The News: Norfolk's new salaried
team of ball tossers won their game
here yesterday afternoon with the Dali
las aggregation, but Oh! such score.
1t was a batting bee all the way
through and when the last man was
out Norfolk had twenty scores against
sixteen for Dallas.
Just as an indication of how things
went, Norfolk batsmen made three
home runs in the very first inning.
And that's the kind of game it
was from alpha to omega.
Norfolk and Dallas are scheduled to
play again this afternoon.
Tomorrow afternoon Norfolk will
play Gregory at Gregory.
High Wind; Ragged Game.
The game was very ragged from
start to finish, and full of errors. A
high wind was partly responsible.
Norfolk scored three home runs in the
first inning. Both teams hit hard, but
Norfolk was more lucky with men on
bases.

Why Our Railroads Are Narrow Gauge.
Why are all railroads built on the
standard gauge Of four feet eight and
one-half inchesf The makers Of the
first locomotives thought only of put
ting their machines upon the tram
ways already in existence, and from
that followed very interesting and
curious result. These tram lines natu-
rally had exactly the width prescribed
by the strength Of one horse. BY mere
inertia the horse cart gauge estab-
lished itself in the world, and every
where the train is dwarfed to a scale
that limits alike its comfort, power
and speed. Because there is so much
capital engaged and because Of the
dead power OF custom 1t is doubtful ID
there will ever be any change In this
gauge. Stil 1t might be worse. II the

only be wide enough 10 hold two per-
sons side by side and would have a
