LINCOLN , Oct. 11 , ( Special. ) The state
offlclaln are traveling over the state on free
passes bragging about ) their Immrtculato rec
ords and asking for votes when they ought
to to here In Lincoln attending to their otfl-
clnj duties nnd earning their salaries. And
on these excursions the chorus of every song
sung by the sham reformers Is that repub- |
lleans ara all thieves and that popocrats nre
nlwayg honest. Early In the campaign the j
statement made was that Hartley left the
treasury empty when he went out of office ,
but this has been revised since Mcscrve was
trapped Into making the statement ! In a pub
lic Mpccch that Bartley turned over to him
something over $800,000 of available funds. '
The tnli about Moore's shortage Is not BO
loud to slnco It has been found that the
present ) tudltor manipulated the fees In his
ofllco last year until the newspapers made It
BO warm for him that ho disgorged. But In
spite of thcEO disadvantages the "repub
lican shortage" cry Is doing good service for
the reform crowd , and often serves to ob
scure other issues that are beginning to be
embarrassing tt > the olco party. 1
To show that the claim of "holler than
thou" made by the sham reformers rests on
a sham foundation , it Is only necessary to |
print a partial list of the popocratlc county
treasurers who have been short at tlie ends
of their terms In the last eight years. The
counties mentioned below ore only a few of
the many In the same condition In the state ,
but the list will prove nn eye-opener Uo the
people who are Inclined to believe many of
the things said by the reformers In their
speeches :
County. Popocrat Shortage
Btrinton $ Z.COf
Howard 17.01)0 )
Platte 30,000
CtlBtcr 15,000
Greclny . , 30,000
Trmyer 5.Ki < >
Sherman 5.000
fiherldan 1,540
Hall 25.000
Keith 5,000
Ktilth 9.000
Hurlnn 13,184
Hamilton 6.500
Gonper 5,000
Total H70.3SI
Much Minor IMlfrrlnR.
This In only a partial list , but many of
them are aggravated cases , and the Indi
cations arc that th pilfering officials stole
all they could. In Platte county the treas
urer was a banker , related to Senator Allen
nnd connected closely with the Tlatto county
ring that now has so many representatives
drawing salaries from tnn state. When the
shortage was discovered the judge , county
attorney and other officials were popocrats ,
nnd no move was made to prosecute the de-
tnultcr. The part of the money owing to
the county has since been paid up by the
bondsmen , but a little over $13,000 Is still
duo the state. A popocratlc attorney gen
eral has been In cilice nearly two years , and
Instead of prosecuting tbo defaulter , appears
to bo protecting him on account of his high
political and family relations.
In OoBnir and Hamilton counties the
courthouses were burned by Incendiary
means and the amounts mentioned as the
ohortages of the treasurers are small In proportion -
portion to the real IOM of records and
property sustained by tbo counties. In one
or two cases. Ilkn Hall county , the money
vns used to bolster * up tottering banks. In
Ma i rail iuuuty-tlro-trCTSUror'tcBttnca ; ag"tb
the shortage In order to send a republican
banker to the penitentiary and , contrary
to the plan worked up bylocal popocratlc
politicians , got Bent up himself. The Grce-
loy county man fled to New York and was
captured after great expense on the part
of the otate. His shortage has Just been
compromised by popocratlc officials who
took a section of land In the eandhllls and
$1,000 In notes as full settlement ,
The list of popocratlc dofaultera does not
elop with county treasurers. In several
counties the clerks and recorders got away
nlth all the fees that came Into the officos.
In Custor county last year the probate Judge
was found to be short $900 , but he ntood for
ro-electlon Just the same , repeating the
parrot-like saying , "Moore and Bartloy
done tbo same thing. " It Is to the lasting
credit of the Custcr county populists , how
ever , that they elected a republican In hl
place.
In counties having township organization ,
where ' .hero Is a tax collector to each pre
cinct , the number of defaulting "reformera"
Is large , Cuatcr county probably presenting
the biggest collection. The stealings of
thcso men averaged something less than
$1,000 apiece , but It was In each case about
oil they could conveniently get their handi
on near ( ho close of their terms of offlce.
The list of defaulting postmasters , who
were appointed by Cleveland , but later de
clared themselves for "BryanUni , fuslonlsm
end reform. " ! eo long that In the whole
tate It runs up Into the hundreds. In some
counties nearly every postmaster turned
out to bo a defaulter. Orcelcy county , the
homo of Cashman , furnishes some rich sam
ples. At Grcoley and Scotia , little towns
of less than 700 Inhabitants , the popocratlc
postmasters got away with something like
J4,000 apiece and their bondsmen had to
uffcr. The offices up along the Kearney
nnd Callawoy branch , the homes of Maret
nnd Edralsten and other reformers , nearly
nil went the same way and their bondsmen
had to come forward and pay out hard-
earned money. It has been the same way
nil over the state , and a thorough Investiga
tion would show that In the last ten years
the popocratlc defaulters would outnumber
nil the republican shortages there have been
In the last thirty years.

Some of tie most unprincipled schemes
have been In operation In this county
against Albert B. Hcdbloom , who received
the nomination for state senator In the
Eighteenth district at Clarks , Neb. , Sep.
tcmber 21 , Some unfair-minded demopops
nnd three sore-headed republicans brought
charges ogalnct Hedbloom and These wore
rend as a resolution at the Polk county con
vention , but were vigorously voted down by
the entire convention , and on request of
Hedbloom n committee wns appointed to In-
Tcstlgato the charges. This was done and
they were found to bo untruf and maJ < > for
plto. The district Is strongly populist , but
this unfair deal has made Hedbloom many
votes , and there IB now a good chance for
his election. Hedbloom Is preparing to
prosecute the newspaper correspondent ) at
Osccola who reported falsely the Osceola
convention In Its Issue of Tuesday last week.

FENDER , Neb. , Oct. 11. ( Special. )
Vi'hllo working In the small pit taking out
tsnd on the Fratt place , about a mile south
of this place , last week , Charley Fratt , the
tenant , struck an object which at first did
not attract his attention very much , but
nn closer Inspection he found It to be a
mammoth Ivory tusk of some extinct species
of animal. He began prying It out when
only about three feet of It was uncovered ,
judging It to be not much longer than that.
After working several hours he had un
earthed It to the length of about fifteen
Xoet , which he took out , but In doing to
ftroko t In pieces about ilx to ten Inches'
In length. Thcso ho has carefully wrapped
up and preserved for the judgment of an
expert , who mill foon visit this place to
vltw this remarkable find.
Digging on a little further and far
enough to almost wholly expose It , he dis
covered another tusk of the same size and
length lying parallel to and about two feet
from the flrst one discovered. This one he
did not disturb further than to positively
satls'v Irasclf and several other spectators
who saw It that -these hugo tusks of Ivory
wcro without doubt a part of what at onetime
time must have been a monster of the an
imal kingdom. The tusk taken out was
quite soft when first exhumed , but hardened
rapidly when exposed to the air.

dollar. Ho also collected up all of his rents ,
amounting to nearly $1,000 , and deposited
S100 In the Commercial bank here , but the
rest of It Is yet unaccounted for but thought

twenty-five years and In the city the past
four years. He was 44 years of age and

GRAND ISLAND , Neb. , Oct. 11. ( Spe
cial. ) The prospects for rspubllcan success
In Hall county and the Seventeenth sena
torial district , consisting of Hall and Howard
counties , were never brighter than this fall.
The defeat of Lorcnzen , candidate on thi
fusion ticket for one representative , and of
Ashton , the fusion candidate for attorney , h
already conceded by well Informed populists
and a last united effort Is being made to
elect Woolstenholm , the second candidate
for representative on trio fusion ticket. The
nomination of Mr. Hannibal of St. Paul , by
the republicans , for senator , greatly
strengthened the representative ticket and
there Is no fear among republicans but that
Hannibal will win out- easily , though ho
comes from a fusion stronghold.

a number of Instances. Chief Carroll spent
the afternoon In looking over the ground

Enid that ho deemed this a necessity , as
there was no telling who had keys to the
present locks and ho did not propose to
run any chances.As soon as arrangements
can be made Chief Carroll proposes to have
the day and night Jailer remain on duty
during the hours they are assigned In or

Is considered a good move , as heretofore
the Jailer has been compelled to wa4ka

on the Spniiluli Authorities at
Havana by the Commission.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 11. The American
commissioners have notified the Spnnlih
authorities In Havana that the United
States will assume entire control , mlllUry
and governmental , of the Island of Cuba De
cember 1. The same control will bo exer
cised In Porto nieo , October 18.
MADRID. Oct. 11. The Spanish govern
ment announces Its Intention to maintain a
strons force of troops In Cuba until tbo
treaty of peace with the United States la
definitely signed. Immediately after the
peace Is signed , the Cortes will bo convened
and measures dealing with the rcorcanlza-
tlon of all the state departments will be
submitted to parliament.
The commissioners , acting upon these In
structions , have notified the Spaniards that
all ports and customs receipts and the man
agement of municipal affairs will pass Into
the hands of the American military cora-
nandcr In the Island. This action was not
Intended to work hardship to the Spanish
troops or government , but It was thought
best to fix a definite time to end Spanish
rule and to begin operations under the
United States. It is probable that United
States troops will go to Cuba before that
time. Before December 1 It Is expected to
have troops so stationed that there will be
no need of Spanish trooua to preserve order.
The proclamations that have been Issued by
the president establishing custom rates and
defining the manner In which Cuban terri
tory shall be governed will prevail until It
becomes apparent that now regulations are
needed.
On October 18 Major General Brooke will
assume absolute control of tbo Island of
Porto Rico. It Is possible that all the Span
ish troops will not have left Porto Rico at
that tlmo ; If so they will be quartered In
barracks until they can bo taken away. In
the fanguage of Secretary Alger , the United
States will be the host and the Spaniards
the guests after October 18. The United
States will not ship the remaining troops to
Spain at Its own expense. That was no part
of the protocol. The custom houses , tha
money received for customs and the govurn-
mont of the Island will pass completely from
Spanish control on the date set. The pres
ent custom regulations under proclamation
of the president will prevail.
