LINCOLN. Feb. 7.-Cspecial Telegram-l
Assistant Attorney General Ayres today
argued for . new trial in the supreme
court OF the case Of the state against
the American Surety company. The case
itself concerns an alleged combine in
surety bonds. but the main question at
issue Ia whether there Is any law against
such q combination. The state lost on
the original hearing. the court holding
that the Junktn act repealed the Gondring
act. and that the new law did not men
ton insurance companies. as did the bill
repealed.
The company set up that insurance was
not trade within the meaning OF the law,
and hence agreements such as complained
Of were not In restraint of trade. which
contention was upheld by the court.
Mr.. Ayres In his argument for q rehear-
ing commended that only so much Of the
Gondring act as was inconsistent with
the Junkin act was repealed and hence II
insurance was not trade the portion Of
the old law relating to insurance was
still In force.

Cold Weather Expensive.
The coal bills for the various state in
stitutions for January have been received
and indicate that the severe weather the
FIRST half Of the month cost the state
considerable more han N.ooo. The total
expended for coal In January was u.s.
500 while In December the bills
amounted to si4.i00.H. a difference OF
N,ssol2 These figures do not tell the en-
tire story. for there is much less coal
on hand now than on January 1. The
cold spell found the state institutions we'll
supplied. and II has been with difficulty,
In spite Of this reserve, to keep anything
ahead at most Of the institutions, the
roads being unable to deliver II. during
most OF the time and the mines also
being short.

court asked what time Warren was
arrested and he was informed that it
was near o'clock.
Sweeney was the next witness and
told Of seeing Warren at the place
and of hearing the bartender and
Niedermaier asking him how he got
into the dining room.
Joel Davidson. who was present
and followed the two men to Fifth

he had missed his overcoat and keys
several weeks ago and he wanted to
make sure that Warren did not have
them. He claimed no one was allow
ed in the dining room and the door
leading into the street was always
locked.

clared:
ITS a serious charge for a reputa-
BILE citizen TO be hauled through the

window at our first location and floor
space to hold four six-foot showcases
from Porter & Co., Stationers, who
continued to use the rest of the build
ing Tor their business. In three years
time we needed more room. Negotia-
tons followed with Porter & Co., to
purchase their entire business which
we did; and disposed of their stock of
books at private sale in ten days time.
We Immediately saw the public took
kindly to our changes and in two more
years following found our interior had
been filled with stock that our windows
were too small to display. We then
tore out our old show windows which
were replaced with the present inn

We gradually utilized each inch of space
from Market to Shipley Streets as time
taught us our customers needs. In 1910
our last big improvement was wall

 Alaska, the land of hope, hardship and the pursuit of happiness, as the scene of The Barrier a, four act melodrama, dramatized by Eugene W. PresDrey from the novel by Rex Beach, was depicted by the Poli Play CTS last night in all it's grim reality With heart stirring thread of TO- nance interwoven and. in a. manner which far eelipses any recent efforts expended by that company.
 If you want to sit in the midst of teeming city and lose yourself to surroundings for the space of an hour or soto transport yourself bodily in to another land, to witness the unfold ing of situations tense with interest and heart stirring emotion, to become lost to yourself and merged with the characters andsland portrayed. no bet ter opportunity can be offered than a visit to Polis Theatre this week.
