IT WAS FAIR TO UNCLE SAM.
Measures that Amily I'rotectelt Government
Intcrest itt L'acilio hands.
I'resldent Cark ot the UnIon Pacific came
In Monday night front St. Louis The president
Is looking much better than when last In
Oliahn , his trip , as he says , to the east hav-
1.nfi greatly benefited alum , although the
work that he accomplished lay be regnrded
IS somewhat of a failure In view of the
acton congress took upon the nelly bill.
Speaking generally of the situation and the
many cOlplcntons surrounding the Union
Paclnc , Mr. Cark said :
"Under the Hely bill there never was a
better or faIrer ploposlton lade to congress
I meant giving the government a first mort-
gage on all the 1ropeity. principal and interest -
terest , on a basis of 3 per cent. I Is pcr-
fecty plaIn to b seen that under this propo-
sitioii the government wuuld b amply secured -
cured , but there were conditions confronting
the bill that at the time of its Intro cton
were hardly dreamed of.
"I am not advised as to the proposition
which Mr. Bolssevaln and : r. Anderson of
'
the reorganization committee made yesterday -
day to the committee on Pacifc roads except
what I see In the newspapers. I Is a clear
cut way ot disposing or a serious problem.
As I underHand It the government gets
the entire principal of Its claim In cash and
the bondholders take the 'property , In that
light I has merit I was not talked or be-
tore I went away , and the vote on the Reiy
bill was taken after I reached St. Louis.
"Should congress fail tl pass any favorable
legislation looking to the relief or he Union
Pacific , foreclosure wli undoubtedly be
pushed to a final conclusion In which event
the government interests would be somewhat
jeopardized. I
RelatiVe to the construction of a union da-
pot In whch ! the city or Omaha Is vitally interested -
terested just now : r. Clark , when asked as'
10 the posItion the receivers ot the Union
Pacific railroad would take In regard to the
matter , said : "The Union Pacific will enter
the union depot at the tot or Farnnm street
upon anything like favorable terms I have
seen the plan of the proposed depot , and so
far as I can see there wi be no trouble In
Its building. There Is not a single grade
crossing on the plan proposed : nobody approaching -
preaching It has to cross any trncks. TraIn
front the north cross the streets overhead ,
there being an overhead elevation at Leaven-
worth street while trains from the south will
come directly Into the depot. I can be 'used
as a pocket or a through station , and In that
way It wi be made accessIble to all lines. !
'
The 11sourl Pacific would run through It ,
coming over the tnlon PacifIc tracks to'thelr
shops In , the north put of the city white
, trans ! going south , woutd run the , same way
The Hock Island , Milwaukee and Union Pa-
elSie would use It as a pocket staten , cross
the brIdge ! and back In and head out The
Elkhcrn would have the benefit of their own
tracks and that of the Terminal company's
tracks The St. Louis plan has a tourteen-
degree curve approaching the staten : the
curvature as I remember the plan for the
proposed depot would not exceed len degrees.
The St. Louis staten Is a pocket staten for
all lines : this propose depot at tie rot ot
Fnrnam street could be used as a through or
pocket staten , and I understand there Is a '
very favorable plan proposed for letting the
Burlington Into the depot. For the Inter-
eats of Omaha I believe the depot should be
built at the tot of Faram street. I would
have the advantage of plenty of room : there
would be no grade crossings and all lines
could use It most advanlageously. Should
the depot be built and acton taken by which
the dIfferences between the city at Omaha and
the Union Pacific could be adjusted the receivers -
ceivers would go Into court and ask to bl
permitted to run their trains Into the new
depot at Ninth and Faram streets "
Of a successor to Mr. Thurston Mr. Carl ,
would not say anything , except that Mr ,
Waggener' was not a candidate for the posl-
tion.
ton.As
As to becoming a member of the wester
trunk line committee . Mr. ClerIc said :
"The Union Pacific will Join the associa-
ton upon 'terms ot equality wIth all other
hints parties to it. The Union Pacific Is
favorable to the maintenance ot rates and
the conservation ot revenue.Vo are en-
titled . however to the consideration from
other roads. "

CARIJYLE Ill. . Feb. # -\Vhen RuCus
Ramsey , who died smllel11 : lhreo months
ago . supposedly of hEart dlsnse . went into
( tie . state treasury two year ago ho was
thought to bo the richest man In southern
Illinois . Within a week over $500,000 In
claims against his estate have been flied ,
but the most startling 18 that of the fire Chi-
cage bankers who were his surety as state
trrasurer. When henry Wolff succeedeJ
the dead lan ho fOlnd a shortage ot $ 363-
539.62. which he communicated to his bonds-
men , who have EO Car UIII\resset It In the
hope of reimbursement out of the estate ' of [
Lhe dead man Now F. M. Blount . cashier
of the Chicago National bank of which John
n. Walsh , a bondEmnn , Is president and
Carl lol , cashIer of the Illinois National
bank of Chicago , ot which John J. Mitchell ,
another bondsman Is president , have fell In
the county conrt claims for the full amount
of the shorlage.
In the claims fed by Messrs. Dount and
101 I Is specifically alleged that the shortage
was of the amount named , that the bondsmen .
men made It good amid that the claims are
fed for the reimbursement of the bondsmen
When the bondsmen fell their claim In the
county court for $363,539.52 the amount was
so stupendous Judge Jesse Jones reused to
allow It until further proof oC its correctness
was filed. This was done on February 9 ,
when an itemized statement or the amounts
abstracted by Ramsey Cram the state treas-
ury was put In the hands of the court. I
showed that Iamey had begun taml1erlng
with state funds seven days after takIng
office . Ho was sworn In January 3 , and on
January 11 , 1893 , ho helped himself to $25-
000. One foran ' or his embezzlement waD to
take the cash from the state funls and turn

STOLE FROM THE STAnT.
On January 19 he took 15.000 : January 24. 'n '
$20,000 : March 4. 5.000 : May 10. 13OOO :
June 6. $5,600 : June 21. 5.000 : JUly 21 , $12-
000 , and EO on down the yenr. His last withdrawal -
drnwal 11 1893 was November 1. when he
tool $4,761. For a whole year then there
was n total Intermission , so far as the Item-
Ized statement of the bondsmen shows , ant
then there comes one more the laEt , \0.000. .
takenNove.mber 8. the day upon which Mr.
Ramsey tool to his bed.
The claim of the bondsmen on the bond ,
which was ned In the county court Is very
simple In language and reads as follows :
"Estato of Rufus N. Ramsey to John H.
Wlbeclt et al . dr. , to cash palll by them as
bondsmen for Rufus N. Ramsey , late treas-
urer or the slate of Illinois . to Elijah p.
Ramsey his successor to make good the
tormer's deficit as such state treasurer , $ 363-
539.52. I
This sum will have to e'Ild before any
other sums Oln be satisfied , , It was what
'Is known as the slxth-clasi' satsfed ! s't funds whie
depositors' claims are In' the , "seventh clnss
Together with the claim 'wa'a paper con-
fleeting Ramsey with Henry' Selter . the
Lebanon Ill. . banker , 'who. tnled so dlsus-
trolqly just after nami y's denth. This
paper shows that the banking : firm or Henry
Suitor & Co. owed Ramsey . personally the
sum ot $243,778,62. The frst note was drawn
September 5 , 1893 , for $ Bl,278.62. I ' was
the largest gne drawn. : Fhe1tlaers : _ ranged
tram $ 3OOO to $16QOO Jn ji'an0tnt. The last
one was drawn October 31iSi4 . and was tor
$3.400. The first . Is' wrltQn in the regular
form , of a note butthebthidrc' : are In the
Corm of due bills with no date or maturity.
These notes and dUQ bls'er ' tn the treasury -

canting c'ash. There wrr , aisq / due . bIlls for
the Napa Laud copanyamqyulng to . $409.
The three La\d made uP'tbe'sum total
which tlni bondsmen ware . obliged ! to make
good. . . . , .
In addition to the clainaoT $363,539.52 $ made
by the bondsmen , claltf of merchants and
farmers of Carlyle and Iron counties have
been fed In tha county court , the. entire
Indebtedness 1P to date nmountng to $468.-
278.85. while the estate probably not worth
over $200,000. Including the assets of Seier
which can be held
PRAISED DY A FRIEND.
W. H. Curtin . a close friend or Rufus Ram-
soy the deceased state treasurer of IllInois .
had this to say of his ' affairs : "No better

would haav& been paid and his family left

with S50.0. Hall lot Henry Seiter failed
everything . - - would have been all right. Seiter
borrowed over $240,000 from the Union Trust
company of Chicago and gave security on
2,900 acres of land near Lebanon This
money came out of the staLe treasury the
trust company acting ns 'a go-between. When
'
ho failed his assignee met a motion to set
aside the conveyance of this property , and
the bondsmen , rather than accept security
over which there was liable to be litigation .
fed a claim against the stato. This property
Is worth In ordinary times , over 200000. J
don't know that It WQuld bring that now ;
but It was worth that at the tme I was
accepted , and Ramsey hat a right to do as
ho did. The law allows a state treasurer to
usa money as he pleases. All hc has to do

everything : Is all straight , "
