!AT ST. LOUIS IN 1903
Lilelj that Nebraska Will Hare Suitable
Representation There.
WHAT GOVERNOR SAVAGE WILL 00
He Will Appeal to tho Pride and Patriot
Una of tho Citizens of the Stat for
Nccciurf Fonda to Mas aa Kxhlblt
Other Nebraska Matters.
LINCOLN. Nov. 6. If the plans of
Governor Savage do not miscarry Ne
braska will take a prominent position
In the Moid of exhibitors at the Louis
iana Purchase exposition at St. Louis
In 1903. The governor proposes to ap
point an extraordinary commission of
five persons, who shall serve without
compensation and provide the neces
sary funds for making the exhibit.
This plan contemplates the raising of
funds by voluntary subscription, and
the promise is made that in his bien
nial message Governor Savage will ask
the legislature to reimburse those who
may have advanced money to the com
mission. "I cannot consent to Nebraska not
n-ing represented at the Louisiana
Purchase exposition," said the gov
ernor. "The state is part of the terri
tory purchased from France in 1803,
and it would reflect on our pride, our
enterprise and our patriotism should
we fail to Join with our sister states
in promoting this great undertaking.
"The last legislature having failed to
make an appropriation for an exhibit,"
ci tinned the governor, "and it being
iiijK:.---ufola t3 secure an appropriation
before most of the money required
t-houM be expanded, I have decided to
appeal to the pride and patriotism of
the citizens of the state with a view to
e.-urins the necessary funds. My plan
is to appoint a commission of five, to
I composed of citizens whose patriot
ism and loyalty are unquestioned, who
shall serve without compensation and
wh3 snail have charge of the exhibit
and provide the funds required to com
plete and maintain it. In my biennial
ni.-s.-age to the legislature I shall ask
that money be appropriated to reim
burse those wlio have advanced funds
iot thi.; purpse.
-It is estimated that $12,000,000 will
be invested in this enterprise, aside
from the amount invested by individ
ual exhibitors and by the different
Hates, which Insures an exposition of
mammoth proportions and one likely
to attract visitors on a broader and
more modern plan than was the Co
lumbian, and in a general sense, to
Nei-drtka at Iea3t, it rises above that
one in importance. Nebraska is the
garden spot of the territory purchased
at that time, and being yet a young
state and rich in natural resources, af
fording opportunities for the profitable
investment of capital to be found no
where ele on this continent, it can
enter as an exhibitor with assurances
fit ample reward.
"We have thousands of acres of un
developed land; we have opportunities
for the investment of capital in com
mercial and manufacturing industries
nl wo have an abundance of oppor
tunities for the investment of capital
on large and small scales. Nowhere
el.sH in the world Is capital or labor
more certain of reward."
Grader Plow Tp Skeleton.
COLUMBUS. Neb.. Nov. 6. Street
graders at Lindsay plowed up four
Skeletons, said by Dr. D. G. Walker to
1 those of white males fully grown
Nothing in the known history of the
place throws any light on the discov

years. There is a mound at the side of
the village and it was here the skele
ton j were found.

reports that smallpox is still spreading
among the Indians of the Winnebago
reservation. It is said the disease has
reached the town of Thurston and
that the public school has been closed.
A rigid quarantine has been establish
ed and the Indians who live in the vi

tering the corporate limits.
NEBRASKA AS APPLE GROWER.
lavltatlon for Farmer to Produce
Jonatha- a.
OMAHA, Nov. 4. E. F. Stephens of
Crete has presented General Passen
ger Agent Francis of the Burlington
with a big, red apple, a Jonathan that
looks like a mammoth jewel, and says
that it is a sample of the product of
43,000 trees, in which he has a half
interest. His plan is to put out the
Nebraska grown trees among farmers
on a contract by which he Is to re
ceive half of the product for a term
of years, the farmer to cultivate the
trees according to instructions. The
success with which he is meeting, he
says, proves beyond question that Irri
gated ground In the Loup. Republican
and Platte valleys along the southern
line of the Burlington will be the fin
est apple growing country la the world
if the farmers are properly interested.

MUST LOSE THE MONEY
A Decision that Will Not Be Cheerfully
Eeceived by Insurance Men.
AUDITOR WESTON'S ACTION UPHELD
Fees Paid to a Former Auditor by Eu
gene Moore Not to Be Repaid by State
Other Matters Here and There la
Nebraska.
LINCOLN, Nov. 5. Judge Holmes
rendered a decision sustaining Auditor
Weston in refusing to refund certain
money on deposit in the state treasury
to foreign insurance companies claim
ed to have been deposited with ex
Auditor Eugeno Moore.
During Moore's term of office insur
ance companies desiring to do business
in Nebraska tent their checks payable
to Mr. Mooro, with the result that the
then auditor failed to account for these
funds. During the last two years of
Mr. Moore's term of office about $32,000
was deposited with him, with the un
derstanding that it would be deposited
to the credit of the respective com
panies depositing it with him that
they might do business in the state.
Auditor Moore was finally convicted
and sentenced to a term of eight years
in tho penitentiary. An appeal to the
supreme court resulted in his ac
quittal, it appearing that he was act
ing as the agent of the insurance com
panies rather than of tho state.
The decision, in fact, held also that
the foreign insurance companies
would have to deposit the legal amount
required to do business in Nebraska
with the state treasurer. Some of the
companies complied and continued
business, while others withdrew from
thi state.
The Providence-Washington Insur
ance company objected to a repayment
as it termed it, of money for the privi
lege of doing business, and Auditor
Weston held that it must pay or stop
doing business.
The insurance company claimed that
it ought to receive back from the treas
urer, via the present auditor, what
Moore had paid over, or at least its
sharo of it. It contended this ought
to be divided among the other com
panies that is, the ones first paying.
The auditor acknowledged that the
money did not properly belong to the
state, the insurance companies gener
ally having repaid what Moore took.
but be was of the opinion that the only
way to do this was to pro rate the
money. Even this, however, he was
unable to do, unless the legislature by
a specific appropriation directed pay
menr. If the money has been divided
among the older accounts the Provi
dence-Washington company would
have received $94 back out of the $188
it paid, but he was of the-opinion that
it would receive but $53.69. To this
division it objected.
The court holds also that the aud
Itor can act only upon the fees being
paid into the treasury; otherwise what
he did would be without authority and
beyond the scope of his duties. There
is no statute authorizing the auditor
to credit the companies with the fees
received by his predecessor, and if the
company's contention was correct that
it is entitled to a credit for a part,
then to be consistent it is entitled to
all. Only by a specific appropriation
by the legislature, says the court, can
the companies get their money back.
Two Are Caacht Seining.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Nov. 5. Chas.
Bruner and Frank Burwell, while sein
ing In Cut-Off lake, were arrested

Ferrier they pleaded guilty and by

Illr Tleld of Corn.
WEST POINT, Neb., Nov. 5. Farm
era In the neighborhood of Bancroft, la
the eastern part of this county, report

bushels an acre.
rtr of Winter Wheat.
LINCOLN, Nov. 5. It is estimated
by grain men of this city that the
acreage of winter wheat this year is
10 per cent larger than last year. The
Nebraska Grain Dealers' association
has reported that the last crop of win
ter wheat amounted to 40,000,000 bush
els, and if the yield per acre of the
crop now under cultivation Is as heavy
and tbe increase in acreage as great
as estimated the yield next year will
be 44,000,000 bushels.
STATE BOUNDARY PUZZLE.
tops tm Be Taken to Make Pcesent River
Channel the lAm.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 4. The deci
sion of the United States supreme
court in the matter of the Iowa-Nebraska
boundary at Cut-Off and East
Omaha holding that the boundary
changed with gradual changes of the
river, but remained in the old bed
of the river at the time of the sudden
"cut off" which put the river prac
tically where It is now has given risa
to a troublesome condition which
steps are to be taken to correct.
Illustrations of the difficulties work
ed by the supreme court decision are
found in this vicinity at Cut-Oft and
Lake Manawa. At both of these
points the river bed changed gradu
ally through a long series of years,
until the river flowed in the shape of
a horse shoe, and then suddenly cut
through the neck between the ends of
the shoe. As a result a piece of ter
ritory containing several square miles
on the Nebraska side of the river at
Cut-Off is held to be Iowa territory.
On the other hand a large portion of
Lake Manawa and the territory to
the southward of it are held to be
long in Sarpy county, Nebraska.
It is now proposed that the actual
bed of the river at any time shall con
stitute the boundary between the two
states. It is stated this 'can be ef
fected only by an act of congress, but
it is realized that the initial proceed
ings will have to be taken by the
communities most directly interested.
The change suggested would place
Blue lake and Lake Manawa in Iowa,'
and would give Cut-Off lake and Lake
Quinncbog to Nebraska.
THE FARM flTS SHOT KILLED.
A Man Supposed to lie a Thief is Tat to
Denth.
NORFOLK, Neb., Nov. 4. George
Fetterly was shot and killed upon the
farm of Christ Duerr, a few miles
north of this city on the road to
Pierce. Tidings of the affair were
brought to town shortly after the
shooting. City Marshal Kane and Dr.
Holden accompanied Edmund George
back to the scene of the tragedy and
found Fotterly's body lying a short
distance from Duerr's house with a
bridle tightly gripped in one hand and
a shotgun in the other. One barrel of
the gun had been discharged. The
skull of Fetterly was found to have
been badly crushed in by a charge of
heavy shot, and death was probably
instantaneous.
George's version of the affair is
that he and Fetterly had been to
Pierce on business and were return
ing home; that they stopped at
Duerr's to get a drink of water, Fet
terly going in and George remaining
in the wagon. George heard three
shots and saw Fetterly fall, and after
satisfying himself that Fetterly was
dead came to this city to notify the
authorities.
Duerr states that he was awakened
in the night by a noise outside and
went out with his shotgun to inves
tigate. He saw a man leaving bis
barn with a bridle in his hand and
ordered him to stop; the man turned
and fired a shot, whereupon Duerr
discharged both barrels of his gun
with the result stated.

BRITISH SUFFER LOSS
English Arms Meet With Another Disas
trous Beverse Near Bethel.
TWENTY-FOUR MEN ARE KILLED
Tbrlee that Number Woonded and Fonr
Have Since Died Col. Benson Among;
the Slain He Fall In a Sudden Attack
From the Rear.
LONDON, Nov. 2. Lord Kitchener
has reported to the war office a disas
ter to the British near Bethel, eastern
Transvaal, in which two guns were
lost, several officers killed or wounded,
fifty-four men were killed and 160
wounded.
The following is the text of Lord
Kitchener's dispatch, dated Pretoria,
November 1:
"I have just heard of a severe at
tack made on the rear guard of Colonel
Benson's column when about twenty
miles northwest of Bethel, near
Brokenlaagte, during a thick mist.
"Tho strength of the enemy is re
ported to have been 1,000. They rush
ed two guns with the rear guard, but
it is uncertain whether they were en
abled to remove them.
"I fear our casualties were heavy.
Colonel Benson was wounded. A re
lieving column will reach him this
morning."
Later Lord Kitchener telegraphed
as follows:
"Colonel Barter, who marched from
the constabulary line yesterday,
reached Benson's column early this
morning (Friday) unopposed. He re
ports that Colonel Benson died of his
wounds.
"The other casualties are the fol
lowing: Killed Colonel E. Guines.3,
Major F. D. Murray, Captains M. W.
Kundsay and F. T. Thorould, Lieuten
ants E. V. I. Brooks and R. E. Shep
ard and Second Lieutenant A. J. Cor
let "Died of his wounds Captain Lyrre
Lloyd."
Lord Kitchener then gives the names
of thirteen other officers who were
wounded, most of them severely, and
announces that fifty-four non-commissioned
officers and men were killed
and ICO were wounded, adding that
four of the latter have since died of
their wounds. The dispatch then says:
"I assume that the two guns have
been recovered and the enemy has
withdrawn, but I have no further de
tails. "I deeply regret the loss of Colonel
Benson and the other officers and men
who fell with him. In Benson the
service loses a most gallant and capa
ble officer, who invariably led his col
umn with marked success and judg
ment.
"The fighting was at very close
quarters and maintained with deter
mination by both sides.
"The enemy suffered heavily, but I
have not yet received a reliable esti
mate. The Boers retired east."
Colonel Benson had been for some
time operating in the vicinity of
Bethel, which is northeast of tander
ton. He surprised a Boer laager Octo
ber 2 near Trickhardsfontein.
DELAY IN SELECTING BISHOP.
Oioeese of hebnqatt Not Likely to lie
Supplied llefore December.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2 It is be
lieved here that the papal brief ap
pointing a bishop for the new Du
buque (Iowa) diocese will not be re
ceived before the last part of Novem
ber at the earliest, and probably not
until toward Christmas time. The last
mail from Rome failed to bring any
developments in the matter, which has
ben pending action ever since last
winter, and as October is a period of
vacation in Vatican circles, it will be
well toward the close of the month
before any official advices on the sub
ject reach this country, and in the pro
cedure of the pontifical administration
It may be considerably later. The
names of the candidates submitted by
Cardinal Martinelli have been before
Pope Leo for a long time. The utmost
secrecy is observed always in sucn
matters, but it is believed that Dr,
Garrigan of the faculty of the Cath
olic university here is one of them.

THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Latest Qaotatlon From Soatla Omaha
and Kansas City.
SOUTH OMAHA.
Cattle There was a light run of cattle,
which makes the supply for the two days
thia week considerably smaller than lor
tho same days last week. The demand
was active on the part of loth packers
and feeder buyers for anything a all
desirable and aa a . result an act!e,
strong market was experienced. There
were quite a few cori-feds Included In
the receipts and the better grades were
picked up In good season at fully steady
prices. The coaraon and warmed-up
kinds were slow sule, the same as usual,
but still they brought about steady prices,
as compared with yesterday. The cow
market was also active and stronKer.
Buyers all had liberal orders, so that
sellers had little difficulty in getting very
satisfactory prices. Bulls were also in
active demand today at strong prices.
Veal calves and stags sold without much
change. There were not many feeders
and anything good sold at strong prices.
The common kinds were neglected, the
same as usual, and were no more than
eteady. Stock heifers of good quality
were stronger also, but only a few were
offered. The demand for thtrn Is very
light. There were only a few western
range beef steers In the yards this morn
ing and strong prices were paid for de
sirable kinda. Cows were active and
strong to a dime higher. Good stockers
and feeders were strong and active, while
common kinds were slow and weak.
Hogs There was a light supply of hogs,
but as reports from other points were all
unfavorable to the selling Interests a
slow and uneven market was exierienced
lur. The opening sales were mostly 7,,i
iilic lower, aud later on the market was
10'U"!;c lower. Toward the close It iirniod
up a little anil then the extreme close was
weak. The bulk of all the hogs sold at
J3.79 and or just about Vte lower
