LINCOLN , IJcc. l.-Special.-Expert ( ) Sil
ver of the l gl lallvo Investigating committee
tee- has l.nmlcil In his report of the condi
tion of the books at the Industrial School
for Hoys at Kearney , from which Lai been
gathered the Information thit Superintendent
Mollallou Is short $5,723.S3 , and that unauthor
ized expenditures have been nude amounting
to several thousand dollars. Mr. Silver w < ii
not at the Mate house today and no other
member of the committee could explain the
report or tell by what manner of means the
expert arrived at some uf his conclusions. The
principal fault found with the books of the In
stitution Is that the cash hook does not
rurco with the semi-annual reports made to
the governor , and the fact that the receipts
from the curar beet buslnren do not eppcar on
the booVs. A copy of the report has been
furnished ? , Ir. Mallallcu nml he has Informed
tilt- committee that many of the apparent dis
crepancies can bo cosily explained away , and
that tlicre arc a number of expenditures
that wcr < t lu a cash book that has bcn mis-
MA or lost. The ex-EUvcrlntcndent his been
liusoti the accounts for several days and
iho. Inv ttf ( Anting committee expects a re
port from htm r.omo time this week.

The sjmmsry In some ways Is un'otelll-

Item which blmply says "adding to th's

reason why he should not have added a

I'OINTEHS TO COUNTY THEASUREIIS
The state auditor has scat out the blanko
to the county treasurers upon which the
January statements are to be made and he
lias enclosed with each a copy of the letter
"written by the attorney general relative to
the fees for the collection of state money
The letter was wrltfn In July In answer to
an Inquiry made by the auditor. In wh'ch '
the auditor asked tint If "In making the
computation to ascertain the amount of fees
which a county treasurer IB entitled to for
collecting elite money , should the nmouri
of money collected for the county and from
all sources upon which that olllclal lo en
titled to fees be taken Into consideration' '
My answer Is thit they should exenpt the
school fund Section " 0 of rhaptcT x\vlil
of the Compiled Statutes make's this very
clear. It Is tlierln provided that on all
moneys collcctod by the treasurer he s'inll
receive 10 per cent on. the tlrst J.1,000 , PSC
and In computing the amount collected for
the percentage all sums from whatever fund
derived shall be Included together , except
school funels In the case of the S'.ate
against Broderlck , 2."i Nebr . G23 , the supreme
court was asked to say whether or not the
treasurer of Gage county. In calculating the
amount of fees which he was entitled to re
ceive from the city , should nosregate the
city moneys from the county and state
tfund nnd lluure upon the city money a alone
The court decided that he could not. that
3io must calculate- the amount of his fees
upon the entire amount collected by him
upon which he wan entitled to receive fees ,
always excepting the school fund. The same
principle applies with retpcct to the ques
tion submitted by you.
In the letter sent by the auditor to the
treasurers today he particularly requests
them upon the receipt of the 1'tter to send
all of their school land duplicate receipts to
the commissioner of public lands and build
ings , ns they must be there at least a vveel
or ten days before the sctlements can be
made. Ho adds :
You should do this In order to give this
department time to check them up and b - -
tle vi 1th you quickly when you come We
would suggest that you send your state
ment In n few days before you come your
self In order that It may be checked up In
advance.

LINCOLN , Dec. 1 ( Special. ) The tecrc-
Mry of slate furnWictl the following letter
to the prem today
To the Citizens of the State of Nebraska-
So much his b en Mid by the rcpub'lonn
pnperi of the atnte In regard to the election
returni having been unla-A fully opened by
myxelf nnd hnvlng l > ecn tampered with In
this olllc ? , thereby endangering1 the legality
of Issuing certificates of election to Jw'ge
John J. Sullivan and regents-elect , that I
deem It proper to niako a statement of the
f ictfl as they exist In order that the people
may be nble to understand nnd Judge for
themM > lvea ns to whether I hnvfl been guilty
ofwilful and malicious violation of the law ,
as Is charged by the State Journal and
others.
To bcBln with I wl'h to * ay thnt the
statement thnt the returns have been tarn-
ne-cd with In this olllce and th it the olll-
clal election returns have been opened by
myself , examined rtnd returned to the
oounty clerks to be corrected or chanced ,
Is false , except ns 1 shall hereinafter ex
plain.
Ho'orc e'ectlon ' th's ' olllco pent to the
county clerks of the state two abstracts nnd
two envelopes with the olHclal nddr-ss of
this office , ono being en 'orod ' on the end
"Election Iletuins for the Olllce of Judce
of the Supreme Court , He-gents of the t'nl-
verslty for County , " nnd the other
to contain a duplicate for our convenience In
tabulating returns , the ouo with the en
dorsement to be filed away to be opened by
the canvassing board. Quite a number of
the counties did so cend returns In dupli
cate , In which case one envelope was opened
ns stated above and the one marked "Elec
tion Ite'turns , etc. , " was ( lied away to be
opened by the canvassing board nt Its
meeting. Many of the clerks , ho.vever , sent
their returns In their own envelopes un
marked and there was no possible1 way of
knowing what the envelopes contn'ned and
these were opened as ordinary mall milter
and no only then discovered that they con
talned abstracts of election These > , \Te put
In another envelope und sealed up nnd laid
away with the remain let of the returns
Just ns has be > en done Irv former years and
ns has always been the custom of the
ofllce. I submit to every fair-minded citi
zen to Judge for hlm elf whether there Is
nnvtilng In this that could have been
avoided or anything sutllclently Irregular
to A arrant the charge of Illegally tamperlnt ,
with the election returns.
In n-gard to the charge of havir-s re
turned election returns to some twenty
counties which was made by Mr. Slzer. sec
retary of the republican state central com
mittee , the fact Is Mmply this- Only three
were returned , nnd for the ipurpose of cor
recting omissions where the clerk had failed
eltnei to Im Ms nnrns or place the se il of
the county on the abstract. No attempt ivas
made nor any request to the county clerks
to In any way change the returns from
these three counties. They wore simply
technical errors which were likely to oce-ui
nnd no harm could po3sibly conic by hav
ing them corrected. .
If the honest voters of the ° tite will but
reflect for a moment and consider the fact
f-at the abstract -sent to this olllce Is but a
copy of the original on file In the olllce of
the county clerks throughout the tate and
can b Inspected by anyone and connT'-d
vlth thc e copies In this olllco , they will
re.adllv * ee the absurdity of the chaise and
that any tampering with the abstracts
wou'il luivc been an act of Idiocy , as It
coudN&o ! * .as'ly ' have been detected Hid I
been as dls oncst as these fakirs have rep
resented me to be I b II ve that I would have
had morr horse sen thin to undert ike
to do something tint could so easily hive
been detected nnd iv.hlch could not have In
any \jay affected the re-ult of the last elec
tion , hnd I desired so to do. Even If Mr
Sullivan's majority had been -o small tha'
It IA.IS llkclv to be contcstel. and thete
mlcit have been an object In wishing to
Change the returns , everyone with ordinary
Intelligence knows thit It could not have
been done In th's ofllce without It h 'n '
known by a compirl-on with the original
abstracts held by the county clerk t
There- are also a number of other chargps
that have been brought In connection with
this by the York 'limes and some other re
publican papers of tne 'Into , charging that 1
HUvfally opened the printing bids for the
printing1 of the house and senate journals
and session la-ns adve-i tl ed for last sum
mer. This st'emcnt Is entlrelv false- and thi
facts are simply these The Printing board
met and received bids as advertise 1 for
Upon cozening nnd examining those bids the
board exercised the rlnht that Is always re
served bv ev'fry board In such cases and re
jected all of them and called for new bids to
bo submitted at a later date , and by so doIng -
Ing saved tne taxpayers of the state evenl
hundred dollars nnd of course deprived
these gentlemen who vere bidding of D-a'
much of a Takeoff , ivhlch , of course , they
not being accustomed to , made them fcei
somewhat aggrieved
Individually I care nothing for the criti
cisms of the State Journal and other republican
lican papers of that Ilk. who , having fat
tened oft the taxpayers under the republi
can administrations of tie na t , find It Im
poislbje to believe that Here Is any hon
esty In the state houcc > .and that overs thlnj.
Is onlv done for effect , when it comes to n
question of economy , and I only make this
tutement beeause I have been charged with
wilfully and mallrlouslv tampering with
flection returns and violating the la'.vs of
the stateSo long as I am being assailed In
my ofllel.il capacity bv tho-e papers I fee'
satisfied that I am perfotmlntr my duty , and
should the time ever come wacn they 'ipea'
of my administration of the affairs of this
ofllee with commendation I shall verv care-
fullv e'xamlne the conduct of the otllce to
see wherein the interests of the'people' of the
state have failed to be protected , as we all
knu.v tint the State Journal has a'nays de
fended every stertl that h-is been perpetrated
wltrln the walls of the c.ipltol building and
Is only now howling bicvuise It has been
pushed away from the public trough and
conrpelled to come In and do work at legit
imate price's Instead of getting the exorbl
tant prices It h is bec-n enjoy Ing at the
hands of past administrations for printing
and other -vork done for the1 state
It Is apparent to every fnlr-mlnUed eltl-
zen , In view of the fact tint these same or
gan" hnvo tried to Implicate Governor Hoi-
comb In the stealings of Hartley nnd others
and have- been howling about Meserve's
straw bond etc , th it they are simply tryIng -
Ing to distract the attention of the people
from their own Infamous rceords , but they
i.vlll not sneered , for , as the Immortal Lin
coln once remarked , they may be able "to
fool all of fie people some of the time , nnd
some of the people all of the time , but they
cannot fool all of the pecolo all of the time. "

OEIUNO , Neb. , Dec. 1 ( Special. ) An
adjourned fiction of the October term
of the district court baa Just been
deld here by Judge Orjmcs , the prin
cipal business of which was the ren
dering of his decision In the Injunction
case of the Castle Hock Irrigation Canal
and Water Power company against Philip
Jurhch. The plaintiff sought to enjoin de
fendant from condemning n right-of-way for
a lateral ditch across plaintiff's canal and
rlghtofwavfrom Iho Steamboat ditch ,
another canal lying above that of plaintiff.
The contention of plaintiff being that hav
ing first -taken out Its ditch nnd having ac
quired an npproptlatlon claiming all lands
hlng thereunder , that It thereby acquired an
exclusive right to water all of said linda ;
that the State Doard of Irrigation , by a decis
ion rendered September 22 , 1897. hail given
plaintiff that exclusive right to furulsh
water to Irrigate all lands lying under Its
canal ; that a private Individual could not
exorcise the right of emlr-ent domain to con
demn a right-of-way for the purpose of carryIng -
Ing water to his land for Irrigation.
The court found for the defendant , Jurlsch ,
dissolving the injunction. In rendering his
decision Judge Grimes held that the conten
tion of plaintiff that It had or could acquire
an exclusive right to water defendant's land i
by reason of A prbr appropriation , without' I '
his consent , and charge him for the use of I i
the water a rate to beset and controlcd by
plaintiff , would , If sustained by the courts
uphold a monopoly nnd shut oft all competi
tion In furr'shlng water ; that the state beard !
hid no jurisdiction over the question ns to
who shall furnish water for specific lands
enl cannot take from the landowner the
right to obtain water where he can get It the
cheapest ; that the legislature having de
clared the want of water a natural want aril
the Irrigation and reclamation of arid lands
being a benefit to the general public , thit
the use was public , nnd therefore the de
fendant could exercise the right of eminent
domain nnd condemn a right-of-way to con
vey water to his land for Irrigation purposes ,
is provided In the Akers law Judge Grimes'
decision upholds the original opinion of
Secretary Akers of the State Uoard of Irri
gation , which was reversed by the present
state board on September 22 , 1S97 The plain-
tilt his given supcrscdeas bond ani will take

J . Wilson , se.-retary of the State 'Board ' of
Iirlgatlons with his stenographer , Mr
Corchrace , have been In session daj and
evening hero since the loth Inst. taking
testimony In the contests for White river
water rights The principal contests vcro
those of the Irrlgators against the mill rights
or Lcrov Kail who claims that he has a
prcscr'ptive ' right to the waters of the river
and that as such they are not public waters
within the meaning of the Inlgatiou laws
and cannot be Icterfcrexl with 'by ' the Irrl-
gators or for any other use Ho also con
tends that having the prescriptive right to
the water for one purpose he can do as he
\.I hes with the water and change the use
to that of Irrigation even though It Inter
feres with the prevloiislj acquired rights of
the Irrleators boljw him on the river. Mr
Ceeloj , proprietor of the Whitney mill , on
the other hand , appears to be anxious to see
the waters of the river used for irrigation
purposes and wants onlj a fair recompense
for the less of his vvater power.

kco jcsterday and called on President
Klllllca , of the Milwaukee- club , to whom he
outlined his plans. He said he had ample
backing to Insure the successful launching
of a baseball team In tbo Nebraska city , and
pointed out the advantages that would accrue
to the other clubs In the circuit by having
Omaha In the league , as the plavlug of gamea
In that city would break the long Jump from
Milwaukee to Minneapolis , Detroit and Co
lumbus to Kansas City , and stated that the
people In Omaha were anxious to witness
cpntcsU In tno diamond again. President
Klllllea has favored the selection of Omaha
as a successor to Grand Raplcla for two yeans
or more , and Manning of Kansas City , Comls-
key of St. Paul and Loftus of Columbus are
said to coincide with the vlens expressed by
the Milwaukee magnate. If the Grand nap-
Ids franchise Is sold to Mr. King and
Pfcffw. the latter will manage the team and
play second base , and aa he Is an ecellent
Judge of plajers , the Omaha club will un
doubtedly make a fine showing In the west
ern league race ne\t season.
