FALCONER.- , - BARRETT SCOTT COMES BACK Holt County's Absconding Treasurar Will Be Betumed from.Mexico. " EXTRADITION PACERS HAVE BEEN SIGNED III * OfTeimo Comes Within the I.linlU of the Treaty Warrant Forwarded to Holt t'ountyM Agent JuUpo 1'ost ou the Auditor' * 1'owen. LINCOLN , Nob. , Sopt. 9. [ Special to Tne BKK. ] Governor Crounso today received nn ofllolnl announcement from the Department of State at Washington to thq effect that President Cleveland had signed the extradi tion papers nnd warrant for the arrest of Barrett Scott , tbo defaulting treasurer of Holt county. The governor is further ad vised that the president's warrant has boon forwarded to the agent of Holt county , who Is now in Mexico , whore Scott is in hiding. Scott Is a defaulter to the extent of about $00,000. Ho left O'Neill some flvo or six. weeks npo and was traced to Moxtco. A question arose as to whether ho could bo ex tradited under the treaty regulations be tween the United States nnd Moxlco. The treaty provides thut an embezzler of public funds mav bo returned to this country , but that an embezzler of private funds Is exempt from arrest. Three sots of papers were pre pared In which nflldavlts wcro presented , fully establishing Iho fact thut Scott was an embezzler of funds belonging to Holt county. One sot of papers was attached to iho uppll cation , another to the ortrudltion papers forwarded to the Mexican government and the third to thu president's warrant uont to the agent of Holt county. It Is believed that Scott's arrest will bo but a matter of a few days , ns his hiding place in Mexico is well known to the authorities. Judge Tint I * a Dlmenter. Justice Post of the supreme court this afternoon tiled a dissenting opinion in the cuuo of the state ox , rol. Garnenu against Kugeno Moore , auditor of public accounts. It will bo remembered that Commissioner General Garncnu nppllcd to the supreme con i-t for a v/rlt of mandamus to compel Auditor Moore to Issue warrants upon esti mates for World's fair expanses. Thn argu ment was hoard bv the court sitting In chntnburH nnd thu writ was denied , n memor andum tor an opinion being tiled with iho clerk of the court. Justice Post dissents from the opinion concurred In by Chief Justice Maxwell nnd Justice Norval. In uls- outing Justice Post takes the grounds that the payment of tbo money to the com missioner general upon estimates is not tin constitutional. He claims that the const ! tution nowhere places such a limitation upon the power of thu legislature. Hn behoves that tlio provisions of the constitution were Intended to restrict the application of money raised by taxation to the purposes foi which it is appropriated und not ns a limitation upon the discretion or the legislature in selecting the agencies througt which Ills to bo expended. Ho is of the opinion that , while In nil ordinary cases the Toucher should convince the auditor that the money has been properly and actually expended ponded , the present case is an exception tc the rulo. The auditor willhuvo "dischargee his whole duty i'i -examination of the claim when ho has ascertained tbat it is for money , the payment of which has been ex pressly ordered by the legislature out of money appropriated therefor and for a pur pose authorized by the constitution. " Further. Justice Post contends thut to hold that the auditor may refuse to pay the money which thu law making | > o\rcr has ec'ti lit to appropriate In the intereit of the . state , on the ground that he may honestly differ with the commissioner as to the necessity or propriety of ( ho .supplies pur chased or character of the assistance em i ployed or the compensation allowed there for U to sanction a flagrant usurpation of power by him and the oxercUe of a discretion which is ia express terms entrusted to an- > thor. " Ana again : "The power to ad vance money upon estimates to disbursing jfiiccrs of the state may bo a dangerous > owcr , bocausa of its liability to abuse , but hat is a question of legislative policy and nvolves the exorcise of a discretion which ho judicial power of the stale should not assume.to control.

It was "Lawyers' night" at the Commercial club rooms last mcht and of the 350 Omaha lawyers fully nine-tenths of ( hem took ad vantage of thu opportunity und dressed ia their Prui co Alberts for the occasion. As early as 8 o'clock the follower * of the teachings of Blaokstono commenced to ar rive , and a few moments later the brilliantly lighted club rooms were tilled with the men whoso duty Is to got men into litigation and than get thum out again. President Gibbon of the Commercial club acted In thu capacity of chairman of the recaption committee nnd for three hours hu stood in the center of the front parlor slinking the hands of the legal gentlemen and welcoming them with neat little speeches , all of which wcro originnl. In doing this Mr. Gibbou was the envy of all the young , as well as the old timers at the bar , though several of thu local disciples assured the worthy president that if they had his command of language and persua sive eloquence they could win fame and an abundance of dollars. All of the rooms were wide open to the guests of the club- , and not only this , the most delicious refreshments wcro served during the evening , while a huge punch bowl , filled with tempting liquid was well patronized. Several impromptu speeches filled In the time between musical selections that were rendered by an orchestra stationed in ono of the parlors. The Intention was to have some of the ' 'heavyweight" orators present , but owing to some of thorn being out of the city , short talks took the place of long speeches. Club receptions in Oinnna have always been denominated as ' 'stag" parties , simply because the ladles of the city have been led to the opinion that they were unwelcome guests within the sacred precincts of the club houso. Last night they changed their minds upon this subject , however , for they were convinced that a reception at the Com mercial clutj was as orderly as ono conducted in the parlors of a private houso. The wives and sweethearts of the lawyers turned out to the number of fully 200 and enjoyed them selves as heartily as dl.1 their masculine escorts , and at the end they voted that if they could have their way the men would all join the club.

SCIIUTLHII , Nob. , Sopt. 0. [ Special toTun * BEE. ] The fourteenth annual fair of the Colfax County Agricultural society Is Just ovor. It was n success financially and far short of failure otherwise , though there was a very notlceablo absence of Interest in some departments. There was a shortage of blooded cattle ns compared with the showIng - Ing in lb'Ji. : and this was also the case with hogs nnd sheep. More horses wore exhibited than over before , speed hor.sos being the most numerous. There were fair displays of poultry and the trades displays wore much liner nnd in larger numbers than usual , these of Grossman & McCullough , clothiers ; M. M. liuck and tlrasoorj , ' , Jewelers ; .fames JJrouo- , lotte , marble dealer ; M. F. Bednnr and C S Kobcrts & Co. , harness ; C. A. Morlun , cro- coriosj and Pence & Mnrohn. hardware , being particularly attractive. Thuro were good displays of fruits nnd vegetables , and an unusually fine showing of plants , the principal exhibitors being T. 1C Klngsmuth nnd H. L. Payne. There was n nakedness in the art department that plainly buspalie the sluggishness of nrt lu its race with the better producers of competencies , agricul ture und stock raising. Scarcely anything could bo thought of that would bettor evince the prosperity of Colfax county than the exhibitions Just closed , Evidences of hoautlful liitrvcsta were on every hand , ami , In the smiles of contentment and Hlirns of unconcern regard ing the immediate future , It could bo neon that most at least felt llttlo of concern us to what congress was going to do with the silver question. An unpleasant and much discussed , much condemned feature was the unusual amount of gambling. Dice games , voro most numerous , nnd ono in particular was to be condemned because of the unfairness of Its clover operator , who , by the aid of hU "cappers , " got from 50 eonts to $ S out of each "victim" by plainly dutoutablo erro neous counting of dice spots. Though the so ciety profit * handsomely by granting conces sions to gamblers , it U feared that the prac tice will tend more and more to injure tlio fair , and it is well known that many of its patrons wish that citlior they or the gam blers had not been there.
