At a meeting of the executive committee of the Heal Estate Owners association yester day afternoon tno question of securing the ocatlon of Doano college for this city was discussed. The college is to bo removed rom Crete because that town is too small uid there are Insufllciont accommodations. President Boggs stated that Omaha could secure the institution if the citizens exor cised any energy in the matter. A letter from the secretary of the Ne braska binding twlno factory at Fremont was road , showing the number of factories in the country. Congressman Bryan's binder twine bill then came In for attention , and the association declared strongly In favor of Nebraska industries. Messrs. Boggs , Tay lor , Catners and Dumont were appointed n committee to look into the matter and sea what was needed to encourage the growth of hemp In this state , the location of numerous small factories and the establishment hereof of a big cordage plant to utilize the product. The committee on manufactures asked for more tlmo to look up the tar.bark question. Mr. Benson said that tbo Davidgo company , the largest tanning concern in the country , had looked into tbo feasibility of establishing a plant in Omaha nnd had declared against it because of the dlfllculty of obtaining tan- bark. H was stated that several such concerns - corns wore willing to come horc if tanbark could be secured. A. F. Fullrlodo oddrossod the meeting on behalf of the farmers in the interest of n sugar beet factory. Ho said that n rojpon- siblo company was ready to take all the beets raised this year and guarantee the erection of a factorr next year If a certain acreage of beets could bo guaranteed by the farmers. Ho thought that this was the proper solution of the question as to what should bo done with outlying city property , and wanted n meeting of the owners of acreage property called to discuss the matter. Messrs. Gath ers , Balcombo and Boggs were appointed a committee to arrange for such a meeting. I. U.

( Special to Tun BKB. ] Today Adjutant General \'lf < ] unln sent the following communication to the gov ernor : STATE OK NBIIHARKA , ADJUTANT OKSKIUI.'S OFKICE , Lt.xcot.v , Nob. . Fob.'JU. Hon. Jnmcs E. Boyd , Governor of Nebraska : Sir In compliance with your Instructions Iam enauled. after n careful examination of the financial condition of this department , to re port as follows : Indian Campaign The legislature appro priated for the expenses Incurred during the campaign of IStU nnd Istll the sum of $ : tT'JOO , which amount , br the records of thin odlco , has been fully paid out. Up to the Mil day of May , IS'Jl ' , tno day I relinquished the onico to the Thayer administration , I had disbursed some SI-.ODO , nnd had good reasons to hope that ttio amount appropriated would bo largely sulllclont. The remainder was all paid bv my successor. Every bill scut to this olllco on account of the Indian campaign wus submitted oy mo to the Mili tary board In accordance with law. This board made sovoml timely reductions , nnd some bills were altogether rejected. This money is to bo reimbursed to the state by the federal government , nnd steps should hnva been taken by the Thayer administration to secure the return or that sum ; but us I Unit all the Oiiginal vouchers still" iti this olllco , I must como to the conclusion that no stops at all have boon taken to secure from thu gov ernment at Washington the money that has been expended by the stato. This delay , or neglect , may bo fatal , so far as securing the money at this session of congress , und I re spectfully ask of yoarcxcolloncy Instructions In the promises. Support of the Militia Tno legislature also appropriated _ ! , " ) , OUU for the support of the militia during the years 18UI nnd IS'.IJ. It wus not much , but enough if carefully handled. It wns not handled that way. Up to May 5 , 18'Jl ' , the dny on which I re linquished the olllco ot adjutant general , I had not touched ono cent of this money , and the fund was turned over intact to Iho Tbayor administration. During the nine months that It lasted the whole amount tins been nearly expended , thus leaving to your administration for the year 1SU ! virtually nothing in the treasury. U was not only my ntention , but It was my dntv , to expend jus't one-half the amount appropriated , dur ing the year 1891 , and the other lialf during 1SSU. The administra tion of General Thayer , in utter violation of the law and its Intents , expended ° n ulna months what the legislature said huuld bo expended In twenty-four months. Of course U was a mistake on the part of Gonernl Thoyer to soloot fortno encampment of the Nebraska National Guards Iho time and place where the Grand Army of the Re public of this state mot in reunion. The oasons why that tlmo and- place were se- ected , ns well as the reasons why they should not have been , are apparent and need not bo recited. In" short , my predecessor has drawn from ; ho treasury tno sum of ? . > 3.478.7 < 1 , thus eavlng 51,021.21 to the credit of the militia fund. Ho tins moreover handed over to mo a check torSJ.fia.M ) . rnonoy In bank , making 11 total of $ I , 35.ii : , when in reality there should remain to the credit of the Nebraska National Guards the sum of ? 1-,5U , ) for the year IB'JJ. The money urawn from this fund vas on six different vouchers , to wit : Voucher No. TO. 0 for { 1,741 M 'or iirinory rent $ I,3.1'J ' r : i > 'or various bills iU.'OJ So lar .13 the armory rent portion of tha rouchor Is concerned , there Is not one soli- , ary- receipt attached to establish the facts. So far as the second Hum various bills is concerned , several bills nro submitted aggre gating & 02.03. Some of these nro receipted , others are not. Ono of these bills to the amount of S27 is for blank cartridge used at celebration at McCook , for which there as not the least provision of law. Voucher 03,411) is for $ lU.8li7.'J5t for pay rolls and commutation of rations at C.imp Snorinan , Gr.ind Island. No pay-rolls are attached to this voucher , but I have found them in the ofllco. Strange to say , not ono of these pay-rolls nro signed either by General - oral Thayer or General Cole , as provided by section : ) . " > , of chapter 5' , ! , of the . - > tatutOi. Not only this , but n c.iroful compilation of nil the amounts paid under this voucher , givo-s a grand total of $ llill.84 ( ! , whilst the voucher is for SlU.SHT.'ii , thus leaving the sum of SI,175.41 altogether unaccounted for.

And this U the his tory of the lx vouchers ns rolntod on tnoir fnco. Section 20 of the chapter on militia says : ' That the military board shall audit all claims and accounts of n military charac ter against the statj , and no contract on behalf - half of thU state shall bo valid as against the Kioto until the same shall bo approved bj the ooiird. ' In direct violation , these bills were paid regardless of .statute ? or anything elso. Dollcionuy Fund The legislature further appropriated $3,000 to pay thu nrroawduo the militia previous to the 1st of January , Ib'Jl ' , and In my estimation this should have proved largnly sufllclcnt. Only one voucher wns drawn against this fund , to-wit ; Voucher No. 00,304 for * 7.n'0 , for support of the Nebraska National /uards out of thu dofll- clency fund. Many bills have been paid out nf this fund that wera not arrears at ail , nnd consequently In direct violation of law ; moreover , they were not pussod upon by thu military board. There being no receipts or anythlue else attached to this voucher. I hnvo thu records nlono to Judge from. Thir teen hundiod dollars have been pala out to this and that man for things which , if they were duo at all , became duo after thu 1st of January , 1801 , and one nf the bills pah ! bad been rejected by the Mili tary Board in Feoruary , Ib'Jl. ' Ono of the bills paid is notoriously out ot place , and amounts to IMU.5J : it wa * p < Ud to onoS. D. Chiids & Co. in payment for the commomor- attvo medals given to thn No braika Na tional guards on account of ttu Indian cam paign , To charge this amount against any fund fur the support of iho militia is virtually to make every member of the Nobrasicu fia- tionul guards pay for bis modal , It is not only In violation of all law since tlu < lugls latiire made no provision for tbo contingency but It is also In violation of these proprie ties which forbid to make a man pay for a favor of recog iiitlou like this.
