- TAB G. A. ItL reunion for the
state will be held in Hnstiugs during -
ing the last weak in August.
HEAVY rains visited eastern anti
northern Nebraska , Syturday and
Sunday. Also the adjoining states
on the east ; thus breaking a severe
and unusual drouth of an alnrwing
nature.
TDINGS must be at a pretty pass
in the legislative halls when it 1)e-
tomes net essary to enact IiIt ( laW
that no one be permitted to remove
for individual use any of the legislative -
lative supplies belonging to and
paid'foi by the state.-lee.
TJIE failure of Creethl Bros. and
the Buspelision of the Hastings
, Nebraskan will cause much and
genuine sympathy to go out from
the Nebraska press townrd those
distressed brethren , whose misfor-
dune is to be greatly regretted.
THE rich men of Nebraska five
years from today will bh the man
who alt o lcIvantasge of lresent con-
ituqus to increase their real estate

U will turn wltlilu a few months ,
1 every man who has sold property
in this state at a sacrifice will be
asking friends to punish. him very
.soundly ' for his clisIpinY of the
white feather. The drouth ) is as
long . and as broad as the upper
Mississippi valley. It is not a
Nebraska institution. IVheu it is
broken this state will reaiu itr
+ prosperity almost at a single leap.

OVER in Iowa whcre they have
had no rain for several months ,
the people are clamoring for assist-
- ante from the heavens. A Marsh-
alltown editor r iniads them that
these things can very safely be left
to the care of providetice. "A big
rain now , " he says , "would be valuable -
uable just as suspension of silver
coinage was , for the effect on popular -
ular imagination. In that way it
would do great good 110w. Two
Beaks hence imagination will be
even wore susceptible than at this
time , and the effect on the soil will
be much greater. Bain thou will
be a double blessing. We are entirely -
tirely satisfied to have it hold off
awhile yet , and we are convinced
that General Andrew Jackson was
nearer right than he thought when
he said these things are controlled
by a higher and perhaps a wiser
power. "

Mrs. J. E. IIATHORN.
Wanted-More Light.
In the Inter-Ocean of March 29th , Dr.
and Mrs. J. E Hathorn gave a statement
of what they chain to have received in
the way of relief supplies , but it is not
satisfactory by any means to a large majority -
jority of the Post and W. R. C of Bart-
ley. The facts are , last fall Mrs J. E.
Hathorn , president of the W R C , made
an appeal through the Christian Herald
of New York for supplies for the needy
of this vicinity , especially the old soldiers
and their families. In response to this
appeal a large part of the supplies mentioned -
tioned in her article were sent to her ,
and were sent for old soldiers and their
families. Did .he notify the W. R. C.
or G. A. R. post of the receipt of these
goods , and that they were for distribution -
tion ? No. She toll then : it was none
cf their business ; it was all a personal
matter of hers. On the contrary Dr.
Hathorn , commander of the James Laird
Post , took charge of these goods , taking
1
them from the depot to his office , where
with locked doors and drawn curtains he
and his wife inspected them. Did the
doctor ever notify the Post that they
were on band and ready for distribution ?
No. When the ladies of the 1V. R. C.
asked for a report from Mrs Nthorn in
regard to the relief for the Post and
Corps , she ruled theni out of order and
would not allow them to talk about it ,
informing them that SHE would look
after that. Finally Mrs. Dilworth , department -
partment commander of the W. R. C „
was called upon and she ordered the
election of a special relief committee and
ordered Mrs. I3athorn to turn over to
the relief committee the goods then on
hand , which hits. Hathorn designated
in her report as a part of two boxes which
consisted of four quilts and a lot of rags ,
which in fact. was but a remnant of rags
left from the large amount of supplies
received by Mrs. Hathorn. In the post
nothing could be learned by its members
of the amount of relief received by Dr.
Hathorn or what had become out. The
members asked for a relief committee
to aid the doctor in distributing the
supplies , and were informed that HE
would look after that. The fact is the
doctor had charge of and looked after
the distributing , if any distribution was
made , of all the supplies received by
himself and wife , and that the doctor
. . . . . . . . , . . . .
w..n'slss aarxtr + Q ; < + .ru.e-r.-
has not accounted to the Post for the
large amounts received by them.
On application of members of the Post
the department commander sent a committee -
mittee to investigate the affairs of the
Post , and Commander Hathorn ignored
them and gave them no satisfaction.
Finally the matter got so serious that
not long ago Commander Adams was
called to Bartley to investigate , and he
ordered Department President Mrs , Dil-
worth to meet him here , and the investigation -
tigation sbowed a very unsatisfactory
state of affairs. Some of the very needy
old soldiers have received no part of
these supplies , and others but a meagre
portion , and the burning question is ,
what has become of them ? In Mrs.
Hathorn's statement it appears that she
received $15.65 in cash that she expended
for groceries , fuel , feed and seed. A diligent -
igent inquiry has been made to ascertain
where the money was expended , and
who got the groceries , fuel , feed and
seed , but we have been unable to locate
any part of it. The report says it "was
placed where it would do the most good , "
and we are exceedingly anxious to know
where that place was found to be.
When the adjutant general sent a car
of coal to the Post , Commander Hathorn
took charge of it , placed it at the coal
yard with positive orders to give out
none of it without his written order , and
as he was away many times when people
came for coal or supplies they had to
wait or go home without , as he refused
to appoint a committee to help him.
Finally the Post elected a committee
which took charge of the balance of the
coal and distributed it. A consignment
of provisions from Pawnee City was
served in the same way. Although often
asked by members of the Post to give
a.1 account of the distribution of the
large amount of supplies they have received -
ceived , the doctor has steadily refused
to do so , anti the report in last week's
Inter-Ocean is the first statement they
have condescended to make , and that
teas made to the public , instead of to the
Post as it should have beeti ,
Whilelt may be possible that the doctor
has distributed these supplies to needy
old soldiers and their families , a careful
list of the amount he has given to the
members of the Post has beets made and
it covers but a small portion of . the goods
received , and some of the members who
are in need have received nothing at his
hands :
We helie e that in Justice to themselves -
selves Dr. and Mrs. Hathorn should now
make a detailed statthlluht of the distribution -
bution of these supplies to the Post and
Corps , and thus remove the feeling that
now prevails in those bodies. Certainly
if they have the prosperity of these two
bodies at heart , as they claim to have ,
they will do so. Signed by many
