About noon on Monday , says the
Lincoln Journal , it occurred to Chair
man Whedon and Secretary Johnson
of the committee on state reception
that it would be worth while to see
Governor Roosevelt as he passed
through Kansas City on his way home
and if possible interest him in Ne
braska's reception to the First regi
ment. There was no time to consult
others of the committee and the two
gentlemen above named took the aft
ernoon train for Kansas City and were
rewarded for their pains by an inter
esting visit with Governor Roosevelt
the next morning at Kansas City and
a promise from him that if possible
he would come on the occasion of the
reception to the First regiment.
"I am interested in your state. " said
the governor , "and especially in
your soldiers. They are fighters , full
of grit and energy , full of patriotism
and you can't make your reception any
too good for them. What splendid
metal they showed on the fighting
line in Luzon. Everybody knows
about it In the east and all over the
country. These Nebraska soldiers
have reflected credit xipon your entire
Nebraska community. I understand
that a large number of your Nebraska
volunteers enlisted from the schools
and universities there and that the
larger proportion of these students
come from the farm homes. What a
time there'll be in each of these homes
when the boy comes home from Ma
nila. And this reunion of all the
young soldiers at Lincoln , together
with the old veterans of the Grand
Army , it will be a great success.
There's no doubt aboiu that. You've
got the right plan. These boys will
want to see their mothers first. They'll
want to visit around among the home
folks for a couple of weeks. Then this
reunion will be an opportunity for
them to get together again and talk
it all over. Yes , you can say that I
want to come and if it is possible I
will come. I don't know of any place
that I'd rather go to than Lincoln nor
any body of men I'd rather see than
these young Nebraskans. "
Paul Morton was with Governor
Roosevelt , for it was in Mr. Morton's
car that he was traveling , and the
committee had the assurance from Mr.
Morton that he would have further
talk with the governor and he seemed
confident from what the governor had
said that he would come if possible.
A Team Stolen.
Fairbury dispatch : Last Monday
afternoon a bright looking young man
of about twenty appeared at the livery
stable of A. L. Schaffer and engaged
a rig to go to the residence of a Mr.
Smith , twelve miles north of here , to
attend a wedding. He claimed to have

Lincoln dispatch : State Auditor
Cornell still adheres to his former de
cision to retain possession of the books
and records of the insurance depart
ment of the state until the constitu
tionality of the Weaver act is estab
lished in the courts. While no formal
demand for the office has been made
upon the auditor , either by Governor
Poynter or Insurance Commissioner
Bryant , it is his evident intention to
hold the office. His reason for not
turning over the books is that he
wishes to be convinced that he will
be relieved of all liability if the trans
fer is made. Auditor Cornell and Gov
ernor Poynter held a consultation this
morning , but no definite conclusion
was reached. Governor Poynter of
fered to commence a friendly suit in
the district court here if the auditor
would agree to release the books and
records , but this the latter refused to
do , remarking that the matter should
be settled before the transfer is made.
The governor sent the following
communication :
To Hon. John F. Cornell , Auditor of
Public Accounts for the State of Nebraska -
braska : I hereby demand of you that
you surrender to me , as the insurance
commissioner of said state , all records ,
books , blanks , reports and all other
appurtenances in your office , belonging
to the state insurance business , which
I will receive either at your office or
at the room set apart for the insur
ance department in the state capitol
building , as you may elect.
W. A. POYNTER ,
Governor of Nebraska.
Auditor Cornell is still conducting
the insurance department and , al
though no appropriation was made by
the legislature for the work , the in
surance clerks are discharging their
duties as before the Weaver law went
into effect. The Weaver law makes
the state treasurer custodian of the in
surance securities , but Treasurer Me-
serve has not decided whether to ac
cept these papers or not. He stated
this afternoon that no securities had
been offered him under the law and
that he was not prepared to state how
he would act in the matter. Regard
ing the receipts for fees received he
stated that he would send them to the
different companies and that they
could use their own judgment whether
to return them to the auditor or to
the newly-appointed insurance com
missioner. Auditor Cornell said this
morning that if the governor would
make a formal demand for the records
of the office he would reply in writing
at an early date.
Horse Thief Comes to Grief.
Tekamah dispatch : Sheriff Lang-
ford has captured Ray McKnight , who
stole a horse , saddle and bridle from
Grant Smith , a farmer living near
Lyons. McKnight worked 'for Smith
last summer and while there often ex
pressed his adiriiration for this horse ,
and his wish that he might own it.
For some time he has been residing
in the western part of the state. He
came to Omaba a few days ago and
while there the idea seemed to possess
him that he would steal Smith's horse.
He left Omaha , taking a train direct
for Lyons. Reaching that place in the
evening he walked directly to Smith's
and took the property. He started
right back to Omaha , and was cap
tured , with the stolen property in his
possession , at Arlington. McKnight
sigfinifies his intention of pleading
guilty. Seventy-five dollars reward
was offered for his capture and convic
tion and the return of the stolen prop
erty , which was secured by the marshal -
shal at Arlington.
The Work of Cattle Thieves.
Beatrice dispatch : Freeman L ,
Davis , a wealthy stock feeder who has
a ranch southeast of Beatrice , discov
ered last evening that thirty head oi
cattle , valued at § 1,200 , had been stol
en from his pasture. In a 400-acre
pasture he had 200 head of cattle
Last Sunday he counted them and
found they were thirty short , but pre
suming they were in the timber he al
lowed the matter to pass from his
mind. Last evening he found or
counting them again that the thirtj
were still gone , when he began tc
search for them. Up to this eveninj
they had not been found and the con
elusion has been reached that the ]
were stolen and driven away. As jus
one carload was missing it is though
the cattle were driven to some poin
on the railroad and shipped out of thi
country.
