j ' fers to the junior senator as a brill-

Setting over the hearing of the
' , ' stock yards injunction till next
month improves the chances for the
new stock yards law being-hung up
in the federal courts over the time
when it should go into effect accor
ding to the usual rule. There
ought to be some way by which
prompt adjudication might be had
on matters affecting the en
forcement of a law in which so
many and great interests are invol
ved , especially when a great cor
poration appeals to the federal
courts to set aside and nullify leg
islation enacted by the legislative
authorities of one of the states in
the union. Omaha Bee.
The people of this common
wealth may congratulate themselves
• on the result of the trial of Ex-
State Treasurer Joseph S. Bartley
for embezzling state funds. The
verdict of guilty is not only a
righteous one , but this vindication
of the law will have a reassuring
effect on the people , who have , not
without cause , been fearful that an
acquittal might be secured through
some trivial technicality. There
were absolutely no grounds for a
legitimate defense , and that put up
was trifling. The prosecution was
vigorous and able , and the firm
rulings of Judge Baker were most
helpful in keeping out bewildering
and irrelevant testimony and ex
pediting the case. The jury is
entitled to the gratitude of the
people for the verdict rendered.
The result in this case will encour
age the people to believe that em
bezzlement in high places can be
punished ; and it will serve as a
v * -warning for the future. If this
> ' - lesson be not lost there will be
f some compensation to the state for
* - * * the money stolen and the expenses
• > * * ' of the prosecution.

The pilgrims of Illinois drove
over from McCook , last Saturday
day morning , escorted by U. S.
Leisure and S. R. Messner , who
led them a roundabout way in
order to show them the good feat
ures of what can be done in the
southwest part of Nebraska. Leav
ing McCook about five o'clock in
the morning they were taken across
the plains , striking the , Beaver
creek about half way between here
and the Bluffs , then bringing them
down through the valley of Eden ,
showed them the fruits of labor
produced by man in the way of
improvements , alfalfa fields , corn
fields , wheat fields , rye fields , live
stock and etc. , tolling them that
these were not done bv man alone
ml
but by the richness of the soil
which nature has produced. Ar
riving here about 11 o'clock they
were greeted at the hotel with an
address of welcome by Phillip
Gliem , to which they responded ,
thanking the citizens of Danbury
and vicinity for their kind and
courteous treatment already re
ceived ; also expressing themselves
that they were well pleased with
the countrv which had been shown
them. After dinner they were
accompanied to the train , taking
with them a few samples of grain
and clover that they might show
their relatives the progress of suc
cess in the west.
The defense which the attorneys
for the defaulting state treasurer of
Nebraska will set up is discrepan
cies in bookkeeping. As there is
a shortage of $500,000and a spe
cific charge of defalcation to the
amount of $200,000 , this defense
is , of course , puerile , but no more
so than many another set up by
the defaulters of today. Chicago
