notce from the internal revenue depart
ment that they were liable for a whole
saler's license Of 1854 each, as this trans
action constituted the act Of a wholesaler.
One OF the firm thought some Of con-
testing the case, but ascertained that n
they had been prosecuted under the crimi-
nal portion of the act that tAey would not
only have to pay a fine that went up
into the hundreds, but were liable to a
jail sentence. They both settled and took
out the wholesale license and concluded TO
go out of the business of handling oleo-
margarine.
The government officer was here a few
days ago and collected a tax, which grew
out of a deal in which two men, who were
In business, purchased five cases OF LIQUOR
Jointly and then divided 1t up. They got
a special price on the five cases, but when
the officer came around he charged them
a Joint license OF $3.50 for doing business
as a firm. One of the men complained
and the officer told him that he could pay
that or take out a wholesalers license for

Nurse Dies with Inatructions.

SIOUX FALLS, s. d., March ~l2,-(spe-
cial. )-Persons in this city are striving to
locate relatives OF Martin Mcmahon, who
has Just died in a local hospital OF pneu-
monia. The lack OF knowledge as to the
whereabouts OF his relatives is due to a
peculiar circumstance About ten days ago,
a few days after being taken to the hos
pital, and when fears first were enter
tanned tina he would die, he gave minute
instructions to Mrs. Inez Hunt, the head
nurse. as to what should be done in the
event OF his death. II is supposed that
he told Mrs. Hunt where his relatives were
and asked that they be notified in case
he died. Mrs. Hunt herself was stricken
with pneumonia and died the latter part OF
last week without revealing 70 other
nurses or to the manag OF the hospital
the nature of the Instructions given her
by Mcmahon, so his friends here are alb
solutely in the dark as to where the rela-
tives are located.

Attorney General Sets Forth Why
Nebraska Rates Are Good.
ACT CUTTING THEM NOT INVALID
state Sets out Freight Earnings Of
Omaha Road I'm Proof of Asser-
tions Made in Answer to
Petition Of Road.
Trom a SAD correspondent.l

LINCOLN, March 12.-CSpecialD-I his
answcr TO the complaint Of the Chicago.
Minneapolis. st. Paul & Omaha railroad
which alleged in the federal court that the
rates provided in the legislation enacted in
1907 were confiscatory. Attorney General
Thompson shows in figures a comparison
OF the earnings in 1907 and 1909 and also
a comparison OF the rates now charged in
Nebraska and I'm other states.
The suit has to DO with the 2-cent fare
law and the AIdrich freight rate law
which decreased freight rates Is per cent.
Discussing freight rates. the answer says:
The rates provided for the transporta-
ton of lumber in carload lots in Nebraska
Is 11.9 cents per 100 pounds per 100 miles;
IN Iowa the rate is 63 per 100 pounds per
100 miles. The rate on wheat in Nebraska
Is las cents: in Iowa II IS 81 cents. The
rate on corn in Nebraska is 1912 cents,
while in Iowa It is 6.8 cents. On cattle
In Nebraska the rate is 1876 cents, while
in Iowa It Is 10 cents. The rate on hogs
in Nebraska is II cents, while in Iowa the
rate IS II cents. The rate on apples in
Nebraska Is 1876 cents, while in Iowa the
ratio Is 81 cents. The rate on potatoes in
Nebraska is 11.9 cents, while In Iowa the
rate is 72 cents. The rate on coal in
Nebraska is $1O2 per ton, while in Iowa
the rate is "a cents"
The answer sets out that while the reve-
nue. from intrastate freight shipments has
been increased since the law went into
effect, the expense Of operation has not
been increased. The revenue from intra-
state shipments for the year ending June
80, 1908, was $3.50, 359.75 and for 1909 the reve-
nue. was 1851, 61O.01.

for the year ending June 30. 1907, amounted
to 5 1902, 1853. 70, while for the year 1909 the

to S1.627. The earnings per ton Of freight
handled in Nebraska in 1907 amounted to

amounted to S1.47. The freight earnings
per ton mile in 1907 amounted to 1876 mills,
while in 1909 the earnings amounted to
17.63 mills. This amount, the answer says,
was almost double the average earnings of
the entire line, 9.03 mills,
The operating revenue of the railroad for
Nebraska in 1907 was 81, 725, 29S46, while for
1909 the operating revenue was 1907. 1882
The expenses for 1907 were $1,19o. 5S1.95 and
for 1900 the expenses were 81, 231, $685.. The
