A PERFECT RECORD.

The supreme court handed down
a number of decisions last week in
cases which went up on appeal from
this judicial district. Among them
were several which were tried before

which have been affirmed and per.
mits him to still enjoy the distins

fifty-odd district judges in the state
whose decisions have never been re

PASSENGER TRAIN DELAYED.


Passenger train No. 2, due in Man
chester at 2:05 a. M, ON the Illinois
Central was derailed near Julien Fri
day morning and considerable delay
caused to the traffic. One Of the
coaches on the train left the rails
and bumped for a distance along the
ties, shaking up the passengers but
not causing injury. The derailment
was due to rough track caused by
the upheaving of the ground This
is due to the frost leaving the sur
face of the ground during the mild
weather which prevails in this Sec
ton.
The Waterloo Reporter. Of Monday
evening contained the following re.
gardins the number of wrecks on
the Illinois Central during the past
month: ~ ~
with the derailment of a couple
of cars OH an Illinois Central train
west of iere early this morning, q
total of twenty-three collisions and
derailments have taken place on the
Waterloo district and Dubuque d.
vision of the Illinois Central during
the month ending today. OF all the
numerous accidents but one is said
to be due to negligence ON the part
of an employe. the others being the
unavoidable kind, due to broken rails,
nanges. etc. While considerable
property hes been destroyed not a
passenger or employe has been SER
lousy injured in any of the wrecks.
Now that the month of January is
past, the employees of the Central are
hoping that the wreck hoodoo will

GRAIN EXCHANGE BALLOTS
MAY CARRY SIX NAMES
Matter is stiTI I'm Doubt as to whether
to Present he Retiring Mem
bers' Names.


Some uncertainty prevails among the
members of the Omaha Grain exchange
whether three or six names will be upon
tbs official ballot for election OF three mem
bers of the board Of directors. Whether
three or six do appear may settle the ques-
ton OF unanimous or a split vote.
Some members believing that only the
names OF Sherman Saunders w. ]. Hynes
and ]. ". H0imquist viii appear, say the
election OF these three will be practically
unanimous, Others declare that the three
members OF the board whose terms are ex-
pirng, Messrs. Reed, Bruce and Smith
are candidates for reelection through old
custom Of the exchange, which makes such
members OF the directorate candidates.
The first three men named above are
officially nominated as the result OF the
caucus held last week. II their names only
are on the ballot, the election will be but
a matter Of form and ratification Of the
caucus vote. II the other three names
/ also appear. opportunity for a contest Is
correct that the big line interests are not
actively seeking proxies
| President f. s. Cowgirl Of the exchange
asserted Friday that he thought the ballot
would contain six names. One OF his
closest friends expressed the opinion that
IL would have but three The secretary
Of the exchange who prepares the ballot,
is In Chicago attending a meeting as a

Three thousand game fish. ranging from
to IS months old were turned into Carter
lake Friday BY W. J. O'Rrien. superiutend-
ent Of the state fish hatcharies near Gretna,

channel catfish and blue gill sunfish. The
fish were brought up In a special car that
Mr., O'Brien uses for transporting his finny
charges from 0retna early Friday morning
and before evening the 1OOO fish we're gsily

The method Of transporting Is 20 place
the fish In six-gallon cans at the hatchery,

Burlington tracks at Gretna and place them
in special tanks provided there, In Omaha
a wagon is used to take them 20 the lake

finest condition when the destination was
reached
1t is a rule Of the state fish commissioner
to try and place a carload OF fish each year
In Carter lake, but last year there we're
two carloads placed in the lake because OF
surplus OF fish In the hatchery. With
those placed last year and these new ones
the lake win be we'll stocked During the
last season the fishing for bass has been
the best for years.
Governor Shallenberger, who was In
Omaha for a few minutes between trains
on his way from Plattsmouth TO Lincoln,
stopped to inspect the car Of fish and was
greatly pleased with them. The governor
who is the head of the fish commission in
Nebraska, is always interested in the work
and watches the progress closely.
I'VE have had a very successful year
with the fish for the last twelve months
and next summer the work will begin to
show up" said Mr.. oBrlen. Now Is the
best shipping time for the fish and we will
be placing them in the lakes in the state
for some time yet. The bass seem to do

from all reports"
Mr. O'Bren admitted that with all his
knowledge Of fish and their habits. which
he has gained by twenty-seven years work
he stll cannot tell when Is the best time to
catch fish and what kind OF bait each
fish will take. They're curious creatures
when it comes to catching them" was his
