Peru Normal Students
Present Woodland MaSuue

Peru, Neb., Oct. 25.-(Special.) y
"The Forest Princess" three-act
masque by Constance darcy Mac
kay, was presented Saturday by
cast of 20 students of the Peru State
Normal school. The masque was to
have been given on the campus, but
Indictment weather made it necessary
to give it in the big school gym
nasium. Great branches from the
autumn wods had transformed the
room into a forest bower. Here a
big audience watched the coming of
the king and his court, the dances
of peasants on the green, the inter
ruption of the baby princess chris
tening by the witch, and the break
ing of the spell by the prince. The
performance was one of the most
charming ever given in Peru. The
masque and the dances were under
the direction of Mrs. R.-F. Seybolt
of the University of Wisconsin.

railway administration will be given
chance to make good to the state

CASE AGAINST
FRUIT DEALERS
IS DISMISSED
Court Holds State Failed to
Prove Complaint Of Con.
spiracy in Restraint
Of Trade.

Lincoln, Oct. 25.-(Special.)-
Notwithstanding that several local
grocerymen appeared on the stand
and produced invoices showing that
Granger Bros. and Stacy Bros.
wholesale fruit dealers of Lincoln,
maintained identically the same
prices for goods sold the dealers at
different times, the complaint filed
against them in county court by At:
torney General Davis for conspiracy
in restraint of trade was dismissed
by County Judge Reid Of Lancaster
county.
During the hearing four grocers
testified they bought from both
firms and that the prices made by
one were the same as quoted by the
other. Ralph Arnold, a former
bookkeeper for Stacy Bros. testi-
fled that a price list was put out
each week for the use of the sales
men. On cross questions by Deputy
Attorney General Ayers Arnold ad~
mitted that it had been shown at
the hearing some time ago that
prices put out by the Iowa-Nebraska
Fruit Jobbers' association were
agreed to by both the defendant
firms.
Con D. Amos, formerly a city
salesman for Stacy, but for several
months past in the grocery business
for himself, said that when one firm
changed prices the other did like
wise.
George Cullen, another Lincoln
grocer, said that out of 200 invoices
he found on over, 20 occasions he
had bought from both firms on the
same day and the prices were iden-
teal. However, he said that since
the Investigations started there had
been quite variance in prices.
In Diminishing the case County
Judge Reid said that the prosecution
had failed to show that an offense
had been committed or that there
was probable cause to believe that
the defendants were guilty of an Of
Tense as charged in the complaint.

FLAG OF THE NEW

nations capital, particularly those
flying from embassies and legations

The new Irish flag, despite reports

govern itself on account of religious
differences, "typifies complete Irish
unity" Green and orange, with the
white of peace between, are Ireland's
new national colors. The sight of
orange in the flag caused a great deal
of comment. but it was explained that

ANGELES is AMIABLE
(Associated Press)

Washington, June 1.-Gen. Felipe
Angeles, recently proclaimed by Viii
las forces as provincial president of
Mexico, has sent a communication to
Washington for presentation to the
state department, setting forth his
objects in leading the revolution in
progress in northern Mexico.
Acting Secretary Polk said that no
had been received, as
Carranza was president of Mexico and
General Angeles a rebel operating
against the constituted authority. He
made it plain, however, that General
Angeles was regarded as an excel
lent soldier with, good record.
In the communication which he
hoped would reach the department,
General Angeles declared the primary
purpose of his revolution was to re-
store the constitution of 1857, which,
he pointed out. provides for the legal
change of the fundamental laws of
the country and which makes the
Queretaro constitution utterly illegal.
He promised protection to all legal in
terests of Mexicans and foreigners
and said he wanted to restore law and
order in all parts of the. republic.
General Angeles emphasized that
he would not deal with Felix Diaz,
Gen. Manual Mondragon, Rudolfo
Reyes, former President de la Barra
or any one who was a member of the
Huerta cabinet, at the time of the
Madero assassination. Mondragon
recently attempted to effect union
OF the rebels in the south under Felix
Diaz, and himself with the Villa
forces in the north, but failed.
Reports reaching Washington thru
various sources tell of bodies of for
mer Villastas and many Mexicans
who oppose Carranza's regime, in diff
ferent parts of Mexico, rallying to
Angeles standard upon learning that
be had been proclaimed provisional
president.

The Star would again call the atten-
ton of the city authorities to the pile
of coal on Fort King avenue, in front
of the Presbyterian church, which
was unloaded there some ten days
ago for use of the street road roller.
This is a very inconvenient place for
a third of the street to be blocked by
a wholly unnecessary obstacle, in vio-
lation of a city ordinance. The street
is narrow, and with Mrs. Arms board
ing house on one side and the church
on the other, in front of which cars
are constantly standing, it is almost
impossible for a passing car to nego-
tate the street without running into
the coal pile or over one of the numer-
Gus large Jumps of coal which have
been washed down the street by the
heavy rains. Some one is liable to
have a smash-up there and then the
city will have lawsuit on its hands,
with unnecessary expense to the tax
payers It is not out of place to say
that the practice of the street force
of placing fuel for its roal roller
around the city on the different
streets until used, is bad policy. The
city should provide a cart for this
purpose, which could be rolled TO the
place most convenient while work is
being done which necessitates the use
of the road roller, and then taken to
some convenient vacant lot or back to
the city barn until needed again.
