Government Asks
Dissolution of the
Harvester Trust

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE govern
mcnt today filed its brief in the SUI
preme court in the dissolution suit
against the International Harvester
company, its officers and directors,
appealed from the federal court in
Minnesota, which ordered the dis
solution Of the company.
There is no such thing as good
or benevolent trust within the mean
ing Of the Sherman law, the govern
ment contends and all combinations
which break down the competitive
system are in restraint of trade.
The company's plea that three
formidable competitors with a COM
bined capital Of $9l 100000 were en-
gagged in the same business and af-
forded brisk competition and testi-
mony relating to the contention are
reviewed in detail. The competition
thus afforded, the brief states, was
negligible" and the competition Of
all other companies combined, left
the defendants in possession of ap-
proximtaeiy 80 per cent of the trade,
sufficient, it is commended, to consti-
tute them a monopoly within the
meaning Of the law.

Four Gases Now Under Quar-
antine - Physicians Are
Told to Be Alert.
PUPIL DIES SUDDENLY

The health Office reports four cases
OF cerebral spinal meningitis now IN
der quarantine. The health commits
sioner regards the situation as Of suf-
6cient importance to address the fol-
lowing letter to all physicians of the
city:
"The number of cases of epidemic
cerebral spinal meningitis in the city
is sufficient to cause every physician
to be on the alert. | suggest that all
physicians having any acute disease
where the diagnosis is doubtful watch
carefully for any rigidity of the mus
cles OF the neck, with the head drawn
back and Konigs sign. If these symp-
toms are present, spinal puncture
should be made at once. If the spinal
fluid be cloudy, use Flexner anti
meningitis serum without waiting for
microscopic /, examination to prove
diagnosis. This treatment has proven
to be by far the most successful OF
any up to date. Delay in the diagnosis
and this treatment may prove fatal
to your patient. The city bacteriolo.
gist will make an immediate examina-
ton of any fluids submitted to him.

MRS, ELLEN PRATT
WITHDRAWS SUIT
Her Lawyers Spring Big Sur
prise in Case Involving
Jerome Pratt Magee.
ONE SUIT STILL STANDS

On Friday Jerome Pratt Magee,
divorced husband of Mrs. Ella Cotton
Nash Magee, lawyer himself and
son OF we'll known Chicago attor-
ney, burst into notoriety when his
aged grand-aunt. Mrs. Ellen l. Pratt
of Green Cove Springs, Fla, asked
the court to compel him to account
for 100000 which she inherited from
the late Julia A. Fletcher.
On Saturday, just as society was
eagerly prepared to gobble up all the
news of the family fray, Mrs. Pratts
lawyers, Messrs. Brogan & Raymond,
filed in her behalf a motion for the
dismissal of the suit without preju-
dice. Judge Day promptly signed the
order giving the plaintiff leave to with
draw.
But social gossips do not relinquish
all hope. The dismissal of the motion
without prejudice" gives Mrs. Pratt
the legal right to re-institute the suit
at any time. Furthermore, Mr.. Ma
gee is still defendant in another suit
involving a $2S0,000 estate. This suit,
which is now pending and which is
brought by his aunt, Mrs. OLSON,
seeks to set aside the purchase of her
part OF the Colonel Pratt estate.

City Legal Adviser Will Hold
Car Company to Letter Of
the Old Legislative
Grant.
LONG BATTLE IN PROSPECT

The grant given by the territorial
legislature to the Omaha Horse rail
way will expire on Sunday. One of
the provisions of that grant reads:
Provided, that at the end of fifty
years, the said road and depots and
other equipments shall revert to the
city of Omaha"
That act was approved by the gov
ernor on February 10, 1867, and Cor
poration Counsel Lambert takes the
position that the city's reversionary
right of property will have matured
not later than next Monday. Next
Tuesday he will go before the city
council for definite instructions as to
how to proceed and he will offer for
adoption resolution on the subject.
On January of this year the coun-
Gil adopted resolution, claiming for
the city ownership of most Of the
present lines of the Omaha & Coun-
Gil Bluffs Street Railway company
within the limits of the city. This
ownership is based on the claim that
the consolidation OF the Omaha Horse
Railway company and the Omaha
Cable Tramway company, forming
the Omaha Street Railway company
on January |, 1889, did not invali-
date the city's reversionary rights in
the old horse car company.
The resolution OF the city council
OF January 3 seeks to hold the trac-
ton company to strict account" and
imposes a fine OF $500 per day on
and after February 10 for failure to
accede to the demands of the city"

 Mitchell was nominated and elected to the position, but was unable to
 leave the government service in which he is engaged at Washington, to come home and qualify. Sixty days having elapsed after the election it becomes the duty of the county clerk to certi- fly the vacancy to the governor, who will make an appointment. It is un- derstood that former Surveyor J. H. Hall of Hamlet will probably be ap- pointed to the position, although no one has as yet applied for the ap- pointment.

TAKE UP FIGHT
 FOR STOCK LAW DELEGATES SEE HARDY Get Agreement that Question will be Left to House Committee on
 Agriculture.

The fight which has been waged for the repeal of the stock law dis trict in Faulkner county for the past few weeks, has drawn the fire of the proponents of the proposition, who are now organizing campaign to prevent the passage of a bill to abolish the district of eight town ships in this county. Yesterday a delegation of about 20 Faulkner coun- ty farmers who favor allowing the law to remain as it is appeared be- fore Representative II. E. Hardy and Governor Trough at Little Rock to present arguments on their side of the question.
 On Monday of last week, large delegation favoring the repeal of the stock law in this county visited the representative and the governor and secured Dr. Hardy's promise to in- troduce a bill carrying out their pur- poses. Representations were made yesterday, however, to the effect that many of the 1 300 names on the pc tion asking for the abolishment of the district were not those of legal voters, and the plea was made that the stock law be given a trial and an opportunity to justify itself
 Dr. Hardy informed the delegation yesterday that he could not ignore his promise te introduce a bill for the repeal of the district and would do so at his earliest opportunity, but that instead of having the bill put on the calendar he would ask that it be referred to the committee on agri- culture Before this said committee, he stated, opponents and advocates of the proposition would be given an opportunity to present their argu- cision of the committee. If the com mittee recommends it's passage he will endeavor to push the bill through both houses, Dr. Hardy stated, and if the recommendation is that it do not pass, he will give it no further atten- tion.
 The house committee on agriculture is composed of Representative H. A. Emerson, J. l. Trawick, J. D. Doyle, Wilson Cardwell, L. D. Chambhss, j.. M. Curtis, M. H. Harrison, H. F. Will lis, c. c. Hunnicutt, Dan w. Mcln- turf and S. D. McGill.
 Among those who appeared in the interest of retaining the stock law yesterday were Dr. w. w. Martin, Robert Martin, R. S. Burnett and J. A. Fulkerson of Martinville, J. w.. Scott and J. P. Finton of Republican, TT. N. Ford. l.. T. Patton, w. B. Pack and II. Robinson of Wooster, Will Gentry of Guy, Dan Ward, Homer Tyler, c. E. Moore, H. L. Tyler and w. C. Lybarger of Greenbrier, and J.

WILSON LEAVES TO START lO-YtAR TERM UNABLE 10 FURNISH BOND Attorneys of Convicted Murderer, However, Plan to Perfect Appeal
 to Supreme Court.

Huey Wilson, convicted of murder in the second degree for killing his nephew, Bolden Wilson, on March Is last, and sentenced to 10 years in the state penltentiary, was carried to the institution this morning by Dep uty Sheriff Jake Summers. Wilson's attorneys were given 60 days to pre- pare an appeal to the supreme court, but the prisoners inability to make a | l$10,000 bond, as required by the court, made it necessary for him to be taken to the penitentiary.
 Wilson is expected to be model prisoner Since he surrendered to the
 constable of Wilson township the
 night of the killing, he has given the officers absolutely no trouble. The handcutfs were never used when he
 was taken from the jail to the court
 house during his trial, and he never made the slightest attempt to escape.
 He was not handcuffed when Deputy
 Summers carried him to the peniten- tiary this morning.
 During the past few years, it is said Wilson has been quite religious. He is a member of the Holy Roller" church at Faulkner Gap. During his confinement in the jail, he prayed almost necessarily.
 For good behavior, Wilson will re- ceive 30 day rebate for the first year in the penitentiary, 60 days for the second and 90 days for each sue eeeding year. He may be paroled for good behavior within five years. Wilson's attorneys, Robins X Clark and R. G. Bruce, stated today, how ever. that the appeal prayed for and granted will be perfected, and the case will be lodged in the supreme court as soon as possible. Should the case be reversed and another con- VictiOn result from a new trial. Will son would receive credit on the new sentence for the time he is now serving in the penitentiary.

MAKES CHANCE IN
 POOL ROOM BEL
NO RESERVED SEATS COME EARLY

Owing to strong opposition which developed in the judiciary committee to which it was referred, Representa- tive H. B. Hardy has withdrawn a bill introduced by him to prohibit the operation of pool or billiard rooms or bowling alleys within three miles of school, and has prepared for intro duction a substitute measure giving to city councils in cities of the first and second class the power to license, regulate or suppress such places of amusement. Dr. Hardy states that he believes the substitute measure will be passed without serious opposi- tion, as the supreme court has ruled that under the present laws the coun- cil's right to. regulate the operation of pool or billiard halls does not ex- tend beyond the assessment of req sonable license fee.
