The testimony of J. W. Livcrltig-
house , steward of the Hastings Insane
asylum , before the stale board of public
lands nnd buildings on Friday Insl , has
crcalcd a profound sensation ntnong the
mnn's acquaintances In this clly. Some of
the facts nro so singularly at variance with
the truth that people feel the only charitable
conslrucllon which can bo placed upon Ihem
Is that the wily gentleman forgot , for the
time being , that ho was under outli ,
There wns a question put to him on Iho
day mentioned , by Sccretary-of-Stato Allen
In effect as to whether or not ho wns now or
had been Interested In the Grand Island
creamery. The answer Hint Llverlnghouso
mndc wns that no was not , and hud not been
slnco no assigned his stock' in the creamery
In IbSO.
In order to disprove this statement a lltllo
history must ho Indulged. ,
The Grand Island creamery was organized
on March ill , I Sl. Llverlnghouso wns presi
dent. J Jowett secrolary and tmnncer nnd
J W West treasurer , i ho slock wus origi
nally intended lo bo 87,000 , but one fjcnllo-
inan who hail agreed lo Inlco $ . " > 00 fnilcd lo
pnv up. The company was , therefore , capi-
tj.ll/ed at M.r > OC. of which amount Livering-
hnuso held ono slmro moro than a inajoi liy.
Shares were valued at f.W upleco. Livering-
houso's Interest , therefore , was valued at
f'i.ilUO. In October of that year Jcwctt , the
manager , died and Llvorlnghouso became
manager. The following year J. W. West
\\as eleclcd president , Llverlnghouso secre
tary and munngor , J. H. Withers treasurer ,
J 1' . Kurnuhnn , rice president. The cream
ery wus not a success. Under Llvoriug-
houso's management It ran behind. The
company became Involved In a debt
of nearly $ .1,000. The institution burned
down. It was rebuilt and rented to Livor-
inghouso. Notwithstanding that the latter
had not been nblo to rnnko It n success , ho of
fered to pay for the llrst thrco years' of his
lease n rental of 5l00 ! ! a year. This caused
Borne of the members of the company to open
their eyes In surprise. They could not un
derstand how Livoringhouso , who had run
the institution In debt , could pay such a rent
for It
' 1 heir suspicions were well-founded. Llvcr-
ingbouso could not pay the rent. Ho wus
constantly In arrears. Ho was , at the lime ,
also engaged In the grocery business in this
city , nnd , after hnvlnir worked for three
ycnis in the cionnicry , failed in his private
enterprise. Ho bad borrowed money , how
ever , from the Cltl/en's Nallonai bank
of this place lo which ho assigned ,
ns collateral , the stock ho hold In Iho Grand
Island creamery company.
This Is undoubtedly the assignment ho re
ferred to In his sworn statement before the
bunid of public lands anil buildings. But the
assignment does not warrant the statement ,
viz. , that slnco that tune ho has not been in
terested In the creamery company.
Shortly nfler Ltverlnghouso's failure ho
got n windfall in theslewardship of IhoIInsl-
ings Insane asylum. That was about 18SO.
Ho still retained his lease of the creamery but
wus constantly falling behind In bis rent.
His duties In Hastings rendered it impossible
for htm to actively superintend the cream
ery , so ho appointed In his stead
W. N. Culbcrtson , whohad been bis book
keeper In bis grocery. Since that Hire ,
Llvcrinuhouso bus pretended thai Culberl-
wa ? the lessee of the company and that ho
himself hud nothing to do with It.
Shortly after Llvorlnghouso became
' „
Btouard' the insniio asylum , a contract
for furnishing that Institution with butter
awarded to W. N. Culbcrtson of this
A similar contract was awarded for
ttfrco terms of thrco months oaeh. The
butter wus furnished from the creamery.
People here know about it but , ns a rule ,
paid Httlo ntlonUou to It , although the more
informed among them BUW that Llvorlnt-
house had a vftko off. * , w
The bills rendered the asylum , however ,
rend "bought of W. N. Culbortson. " They
were audited and , in course of time , paid.
But the creamery continued to bo unprofit
able to its owners. By tbis tlmo the latter
"hud become tired , and concluded to cancel
Llvoringhouso's ' lease ; because , during all
the years that Culbertson'R name was used ,
either as superintendent or proprietor , the
creamery company hold Liverlnghouso re-
sponsiblb for both the rent nnd the premises.
The wily manager saw that It wns useless
to longer continue , knowing that other people
ple wore bidding for the lease. Accordingly ,
in October of last year , Livoringhouso' *
agreement wns canceled and the creamery
wns rented to Hooscr Brothers of this city.
Llvorlnghouso loft rout , drivers who had
( collected and fanners who had supplied
Jroam unpaid , estimated lo Iho extent of
f ± 000.
Slnco his abandonment of the butter fac
tory , as also before It , Iho company Impor
tuned him to pay up hit. indebtedness for
rent. This wns the only Income the organi
sation hud. In 1S > 90 ho mndo Iho following
payments : May 15 , K > 0 ; August 18 , MO ; No
vember 111 , $ W ) ; November Id. JTiO ; Novem
ber 19 , foO ; total , & 210. Those , with other
sum ? received earlier from htm nnd which
lay in thu hands of the treasurer , amounted
to $975. With this the company declared n
dividend of 15 nor cent lost month. The
declaration should have been mude on Janu
ary 1 , but for various reasons no meeting
wns held. During nil this tlmo Llvorlng-
houso'fi stock hud been lying In the Citizens
National baiiK , where It lies today. When
the dividend was announced the bank figured
that Llvorlnghouse's hnro would bo f 195
nnd notifies the company tint it wanted $200
uf this amount as Inteiest upon nn unpaid
loan furnished LIvorliiRhonso , If tholulior's
stock had been assigned beyond recall the
bunk \\ould have claimed all the dividend.
The remaining $295 , however , It decided the
company mlRht do as It saw lit with. The
latter , however , did not propose lo pay It to
Llverlnghouso. On the contrary , it notified
him again to pay up his indebtedness , and
soon after , ono day lust month , it received
from nun a check for JsH.M , with which It
credited him.
' 1 hose facts go to show , (1) ( ) that Llvcrlnp-
house's alleged assignment of stock , except
ns collateral Is untrue. (2) ) That as Into as
November , IS90 , nearly iwo years afior ho
became steward of the asylum , Llverlng
house was lessee of the croamorv nnd used
bullor which uohlmsclf had mode. ( U ) That
Mvoringhnuso's stock still stands In his
tinmo on tbo books of the company.
To make Ihls moro conclusive , Tn = llnr.
man culled on W. 1C. CulborU-on and asked
him lo explain whether or not ho , ns manu
facturer or lessee , had sold Grand Island
creamery butler lo tno Hastings asylum ,
Tlui iinsuer was unhesitatingly and frank.
" 1 did not have n dollar , " ho bald , "In the
cronirory. I wus simply un employe of Mr.
feAiverlnghouso , and wus nominally superin
tendent of the creamery. Llveringnoiiso
WIIH the lessee. 1 him been bookkeeper for
him when ho was in business hero. He was
then nl0 lessee of the creumery. When he
became stewaut of the asvltim ho had to go
there , and made mo superintendent hero. I
put In bid * for ttio butler contract. Some
times I got the contract , sometimes I didn't. "
"Did Llverlnghouso suggest this to J out"
"Yes , nlr , ho did. Ho told mo to put In
bids. I objected to It , but ho told mo that It
wus his own business whom ho bought the
butter of. Besides , he claimed that bo had
assigned his lease to his father , whlo'a was
bout tbo same thing. His father rosldoi In
Junlutu , and I think bos boon up hero only
coco. Ho has never , to rny knowledge
ihown any Interest In the business.
I saw TUB DEU < ald that 1 Wat a itool
pigeon for Llvorlunhouso. 1 have nothing lo
Conceal , however. JJLJ he bad not mid that ho
had assigned his lenso to bis falhcr , or , per
haps , If I had thought a much about the
inntlcr then ns 1 should have thought , I
would have had nothing to do with It.
llut Llverlnghouso paid mo , whoever held the
lease , though I have since hoard llhas always
been In Llvlnghousu's namo. "
"Whom did you send your bids to ! "
"I sent them to Livcrlnghouse nt Hnst-
Inns. I received ono estimate from Dr.
Slono. I ihlnk. All the others came from
Llvcringhousc. "
"Whntdi-1 ho do with thobldsl"
"I don't know. "
"From whom did you receive notlllcntlon
Ibat your bid was the lowe'tl"
"I don't know really. From the bonrd of
public lands nnd buildings , I suppose , as wo
do now. "
"How many contracts did you receive ! "
"Wo furnished the asylum for three terms
of three months each. Wo generally sent
two tubs of slxtv pound * each per week.
The price raised might average 10 cents per
pound. "
At this rate the butler bill for Ihoso ihreo
iiuarlers would amount to fVJO.SJ , which
Liveringhouso received in bold violation of
law.
law.As nil nccountnnt Llvennchouso has made
his murk horo. After ho hud boon in chnrgo
of the creamery some tlmo the company put
nn export named William Frank to oxnmlno
the books. Uut that gentleman returned
them , staling that ho could make nothing out
of them.
Some lime nflerward J. II. Wlthus , the
treasurer , In looking over the books found
Sccrelnry Liverlnghouso had him charged
wllh between ? 5X ( ) and $ < WO.
"Whot do you mean by charging mo with
this amount , " ho Inquired of the secretary ,
"when you know the company owes mo
$10(1 ( i"
"Well1 replied Llvorlnghouso , when ho
found ho could pet out of it no other way ,
"tho entry balances the books , doesn't 111"
Another relative discovery has been made
ns regards the drug bill. For the Hustings
asylum the amount Is at lust in the neigh
borhood of $ l,00u for six months. In this
city , until the appointment of n resident
chemist ut the soldiers' home , Iho medicines
nnd Iho compounding of Iho same , Including
such drugs ns are requited In bulk at tbo
home , huvo averaged about & 0 a month , or
less than Cl.OOOnycur. And this is among
old nnd fcoblo veterans a large number of
whom dully need stimulants.

They have taken tholr household goods from

In no dnniror have moved out of their houses
and sought absolute safety In various places
where the Hood cannot ro.ich. All the farms
nlong the river are submerged and their
crops ruined.
The omb.inkmoiit of the Hannibal & St.

angles across from this city. Tnls ombunk-
mont has served us a sort of levee and has
protected a vast expanse of river bottom be

On this side of the rlvor the high water
Jus caused no Hood , excepting as It has
tmckedup the waters of the Kaw , which
