Ll.VCOLX , March 31. ( Special Telegram. )
The majority report , signed by I inc and
Uetwellcr , of the committee appointed under
thu resolution ot March 16. to Investigate
the nllcged Irregularities In the offices ol
Judges of the supreme court nnd supreme
court commissioner * , was filed today. It la
tin follows :
Wo lm\c examined under oath each of the
members of thn supreme court now serving ,
nnd of thu late nuprcmc court commissioner
besides numeroiiR other witnesses. Including
Kuveral who have * cr\ed or ar < > ser\lng n.t
clerks or asslstantH to said Judges. Ail of
ttnld witnesses appeared voluntarily before
the committee at our request and answered
fully and freely all questions put to them
touching the matter under Investigation ,
which evidence. Is hereto attached and sub
mitted herewith. We bare also during the
limited thru1 nl our command examined the
ii'cord of claims and vouchers In the ollkes
of the state treasurer nnd auditor , so far as
fcnme relate to the subject nf this Inquiry.
From the evidence before us we llnd the
following facts
1. That since the enactment of portions
S2a , 2ib , 22c nnd 22d. chapter 1 ! > , Complied
Statutes of iss ? ( chapter 32. session laws
1SS7) ) , each judge of the supreme court , and ,
during the oxlMence of the supreme court
commission , ench member of said commls-
hlon , has employed constantly one clerk or
assistant , whiru clerk or assistant has been
paid from the state treasury upon \ouchers
duly signed hy them as required t > > law , by
varrnntB payablu to their Individual order.
I'rrcedr it Sft h >
" . That the employment of said
clerks or usnlstants was and is authorized
by law , and the scr\lces rendered are of sub
stantial benefit to the court , enabling the
Judges thereof to accomplish about one-third
> nero work thnn would otherwise be p ° "lble
The evidence discloses that with few ex
ceptions said clerks ha\e not been stenog
raphers. It also appears that none of the
Judges of said court or commission ha\e
been accustomed to make use of dictation In
the preparation of their opinions , and that
the value of th services rendered by their
said clerks would have not been Increased
from the fact of their being stenographers.
3. That beginning In 1S8T , with Judge
Samuel Maxwell , who .employed as his clerk
successively bis two sons and daughter It
lias been the tommon practice of the Judges
of the court , and of the supreme court com
mission , to employ ns clerks members of
the lespoctlve families or relatives of the
Bald Judges.
Fourth. The committee finds from the evi
dence that said practice was adopted and
ha been continued by said Judges largely
ns a matter of convenience , the greater part
of the work of said Judges In the preparation
of their opinions being done nt their homes.
So far as your committee hns been able to
Inquire , the clerks so employed have been
In every case fit nnd capable persons and
the services for which they were employed
liavo been faithfully nnd conscientiously per
formed.
CliniiKon Ciilnpciinilt Inn.
3. The committee finds that prior to 1S96
the appropriation for the payment of clerical
assistance to the Judges of the supreme court
nnd commission was In a gross sum. and
that sama was drawn from the treasury upon
An Excellent Combination.
Thu pleasant method nnd beneficial
effects of the well known remedy ,

the value of obtaining the liquid laxa

B The evidence has disclosed no IrroRUlar-
Itlps In the collection or payment of the sal-
nrlrs of the raid Judues or their assistants
except thf following Instances , both of
which are fully explained.
A. On December 31. 18M. ! Judge T. L.
Norval , one of the judges of the supreme1
court , received the warrant OHSl from the
stntc aud'.tor for his salary for the fourth
quarter of 1S94 , amounting to J62.V On the
same day the said warrant was left with J.
S. Hartley , then state treasurer , who ad
vanced to Judge Norval the face of Bald war
rant , said Hartley stating at the time funds
so advanced were his own private funds and
It was so believed by Judge Norval. and said
warrant was retained by Hartley as security
for said advance. Afterwards , on October IB.
1835 , upon notice from the state treasurer's
omce that said warrant had been reached In
the regular order for payment , the same wns
paid In full , the Mid Hartley retaining the
amount previously advanced , and Judge Nor-
val receiving the balance , being the Interest
thereon , amounting to $34.63.
H. That upon Judge Sullivan becoming n
member of the supreme court. In January , '
! SriS he appointed as his assistant Miss Maud
Parker , his wife's sister , who on the 1st of
November of IS'JS performed only n portion
of the duties of the position , but drew from
the stnto the full compensation for th.it
period , nnd the larger portion of the amount
so drawn by her was paid by the pensonal
check of Judge Sullivan to others who as
sisted on the work
The committee further finds that In neither
of said Instances was there nnv intentional
violation of the law by cither of said judges
or their assistants.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

LINCOLN , March 31. ( Special. ) Following -
ing is the minority report on the supreme
court Investigation , signed by J. H. Shore :
Mr. Speaker : The undersigned mlnor''y
of your committee appointed to Investigate
charges of irregularities In connection with
the supreme court , being unable to agree
with the majority report , begs leave to re
port as follows :
It appears from the examination of the
Judges and ex-commissioners , together
with testimony of the parties employed In
the capacity of assistants to the court and
an Inspection of the records In the otflces ol
the stnto treasurer and state auditor , that it
has bean the custom to employ in the capac
ity of assistants members of the families of
the Judges and commissioners. The wives ,
sons and daughters of the members of the
court have been so employed , and they ha\e
been paid either J4 per day or a salary of
Jl.OOO per year , according to the interpreta
tion placed on the law from time to time by
the Interested parties.
There can be no doubt that the Intent of
the law was to place at the disposal of the
members of the court the services of assist
ants that would materially aid In the dis
position of the business of the court , and not
for the purpose of creating sinecure posi
tions to be utilized as n medium of In
creasing the compensation of the Judges in
direct violation of the. constitution , which
provides that "the Judges of the supreme
and district courts shall each receive a
salary of J2.500 per annum , payable quar
terly. No judge of the supreme or district
courts shall receive any other compensation ,
perquisite or benefit , for or on Account of his
ofllce In any form whatsoever , nor act as
attorney or counsellor at law in any form
whatever. "
In the matter of work performed by these
assistants there has not been an adequate
quid pro quo for the large amounts of money
expended for the purpose. In some in
stances the evidence shows that the work of
the assistant consisted principally of type
writing the opinions of the Judge , a service
thai would not consume the time of a com
petent operator a month In a year. In other
cases the assistants have carried law books
from the library shelves to the judges'
table. It seems to the minority of your com-
mlttco that $4 a day is an excessive price
to pay for messenger service ot this kind.
Other members of the court have testified
that their assistants performed the work oi
blocking out their opinions nnd picked out
of the evidence in record such ns was perti
nent to the points at Issue. The idea that
the wives , sons and daughters of the mem
bers of the court were competent Holely by
reason of this relationship to pick out perti
nent testimony and block out opinions to be
handed down as the decisions of the supreme
court of the state has caused lawyers to
smile. Should this Investigation result In no
other good It will have cleared up all doubt
as to how some of the hitherto Incompre
hensible opinions of the court were pre
pared , and the Judges will be relieved ol
the adverse sentiment that has uncharitably
attributed these opinions to be their own pro
ductions.
It Is manifest that the law contemplated
that theM assistants should themselves have
soniu knowledge of law , but members of the
court have evaded the plain intent of the
constitution nnd of the statutes , and hn\e
construed appropriation acts that would lll >
admit of such straining so as to make them
contribute to their personal benefit at the
expense of the slate. The minority of your
committee , therefore , recommends that this
house strongly express Its censure of the
practice that has been In vogue , that has
resulted In a continuous and unwarranted
raid on the public treasury , and that this
bouse demand , ul the hand of the supreme
court , more careful consideration of the
rights of the taxpayers nnd abandonment of
th seemingly cherished idea that n seat on
the most exalted bench In the state makes of
Its occupant a ward of the common wealth ,
entitled to special perqulslte-s and privileges
in violation of the constitution.
Hut the meat serious dcvclcpments brought
out by the testimony before your committee
affect Judge Norv.il. It apppars from his
own admissions , as well as from documen
tary evidence found In the record , that thr1
state treasurer , Joseph S Hartley , on I lie
31st day of December. 1S9I. accepted flora
Judge Norvnl his salary warrant for the last
quarter of 1S9I. In the sum of $025. and that
the state treasurer paid Judge Norvnl there
for the face of the warrant. This warrant ,
owing to the condition of the general 'mull
was not payable for about ten and a halt
months after the data of such advancement.
The check by which this money watt paid
was signed "J. S. Hartley , State Treasurer ,
by 0. M. Oartlett. Deputy , " and was deliv
ered to Judge Norval , who held It In fa IB pos
session fiome two days and then personally
presented It to the Klrat National bank of
Lincoln , on which it was drawn nnd it wan )
paid. When the warrant became payable
{ come ten months after the transactions lust
recited the state treasurer delivered to
, Judge Norval a check for { 31.63. this check
being for the Interest due on the warranty
In question. This check was also glgued by
J S Hartley , treasurer , and by G. M. Barf
lett. bis deputy.
One of two conclusions must follow from
these facts. These checks showed upon their
face that they were drawn against the ttate
funds on deposit in the First National bank
of Lincoln It Is true Judge Norval Kays he
did not notice the denature on the check * .
The minority of your committee is unabk
to accept this statement of Judce Norval
and mitit conclude that he has foreotten tbo
fact. Judge Norval Is a lawyer of ability.
He hai had many years' experience on , thcj
dlhtrlct and supreme benches. He Is ac
customed to examine carefully legal papers )
placrd before him. When these checks were
bunded to oltu he must have noticed how
they were signed. Not only that but the
law charges him with notice of wha these
checks contained , na we learn from his own
opinion In the case of Hartley against the
State.
In that ease tfce warrant In question had
written upon Its face the words. "Tor To
reimburse the sinking fund " That warrant
ran to J. S. Hartley , not ns state treisuror ,
but In his Individual cHtmcltv There wns
nothing on Its fare to notlfv the Pheml fll
National bank of New York , which pur
chased It. that Hartley did not have the
right to fell It except the statement that U
was drawn to "relmbure the olnklne fund "
Yet , regarding that. Judco Norvnl used the
following language In his opinion , which
stands as the opinion of the court : 'Nor
was the bank an 'Innocent purchaser' with n
the meaning of that term as applied to com
mercial paper. Isnsmitch ns the warrant dis
closed on Its face the purpose and.ohlect for
which It was drawn , nnd the bank was
bound to know , at Us peril , that .V de
fendant had no title tn the Instrument '
The t-amo must hold true with reference o
the present case , where the check Is nd-
mltted by Judge Norvnl to show on its face
that It wns drawn ncalnst state tu.vU nnd
he "wns bound to know at his nenl" ibat
he was receiving state funds If he chose to
accent It. Following this line of ress'inlnc.
the conclusion must he that .luile. Norval
did see the signature did know that the
check wns drawn ncalnst state funds im t
knew that the monev he rece'vpil ' then'on
was state funds. If. therefore , the tnniMr-
tlon by ( whlch he received the chrrt ? to' '
} 82 on the 31st dav of December. JSi | . M
to be treated as n loan , as he savs It was.
he Is guilty of knowingly receiving a loan
of state funds from the stnto treasurer for
his own use nnd benefit , nnd thus Ue aided1
and abetted In converting the sum of JCI5.
and under his own decision In the C.ISP of
Mills against the State became himself an
embezzler of state funds.
If. however , we are to treat the trunac-
tlon wherein he received the J625 as a my-
mcnt of the warrant , then he wns not enti
tled to receive anv Interest on the vnrrin
and the payment to and receipt by him
of the check for $34 63 as Interest on the war
rant were Illegal nnd constituted embezzle
ment on his part.
I regret that I must come to this con
clusion , but under the evidence nnd the Oe-
clslons of the supreme court of this stnte
there can be no escape. People may If ok
with some Indulcence on violations of the
plain letter of the law bv men not versed in
legal matters and unfamiliar with the pro
visions of the statutes , but when these violations
lations are met with on the Dart of members
of the highest court of the state , that fact
In Itself Is sufficient to call for speedy re
buke and Impartial Justice. Judge Norval
has been chief justice of the supreme court
and for more than nine vears a member of
that court. His conduct has been Inexcusa
ble and there can be no palliation. This
house should have no hesitancy in applying
the constitutional rcmeilv.
From the evidence adduced before the
committee It appears that Judco Norval Is
guilty of felony. But it Is not necessary
that this house find him so culltv In order
to Impeach him The constitution provides
that "all civil officers of this state shall be
liable to Impeachment for anv misdemeanor
In office. " That Judue Norval has been
guilty of a misdemeanor Is clear and thn
minority of your committee therefore recom
mends that the house entertain the follow
ing resolution
Resolved. That articles of Impeachment
be prepared and presented to the district
Judges of this state , sitting as a court of im
peachment , as provided by law. for misdemeanor
meaner in office acalnst T L. Norval. as
sociate Justice of the supreme court.
PAINTERS WANT MORE PAY
If Tliclr IJeninnil Is Not Granted The }
.Mny Iiinuiriirntc n Strike
Today.
This Is the day set for the approval of the
new schedule asked by the painters , who
if their request is not complied with , will
strike to enforce their demand of an in
crease to 35 cents an hour. Last nlghl
representatives of employers nnd employes
said no agreement had been reached , al
though the painters seemed to be of the
opinion that the change in the schedule
would be made.
Painters at the present time are drawIng -
Ing 30 cents an hour , while the more
skillful are being paid 35 and10 cents ,
This docs not appear to be satisfactory tc
the workmen ; so they have agreed that
a stipulated minimum of 35 cents ought tc
be paid to all men. The employers object tc
this because they do not think It is fall
to good workmen to place them on ac
equality with unskilled laborers who have
not become proficient In their trade and
are incapable of becoming so. They claim
they are paying 30 cents an hour now foi
eight hours work , and 45 cents an hour foi
all over time and Sundays. It Is tbclt
busy season and the necessity for steady ,
competent workmen is greater than at any
other tlmo during the year. On the other
hand , they state that there are a num
ber of nonunion men in the city , or mem
bers of another union , who have worked
for themselves , ns they were unable te
obtain employment with union painters ,
These men. It is claimed , will be available
and they will be put to work immediate ! )
In ca = e there is a strike. The union Which
has asked the increase of the schedule tc
35 cents numbers about 225 men.
Although many of the painters are
pleased with their work and do not want
to htop , the union will bo solid when the
demand for the new schedule Is refused
The painters claim that some of the wall
paper men will agree to the Increase and
this willingness on their part will neces
sarily leave the dealers , with a less formid
able front than If they were united.
The painters struck about eishteec
months ago nnd succeeded in Inducing the
dealers to agree to employ only union mer
in their stores or upon their work. Thej
also asked for piece work but this was de
nied them.

CATARRH DISCOVERED TO BE THE GREATEST ENEMY OF
THE NINETEENTH CENTURY WOMEN.
Pe-ru-na Cures Women's '
Catarrh of Some Organ
the Causa of Most Ills Diseases by Removing
of Womankind. the Cause.
Miss Barbara Shoelnole. rS2S Wisconsin
nvenue , St. Louis , Mo. , writes "I had
suffered with catarrh for over three years.
At last I got so bad that I could not fulfill
my duties. I not only had the catarrh dur
ing the winter , but all the year round. I
never could get over a cold In the head. 1
rend about I'e-ru-na and cave it a trial.
After taking the first bottle I was very
much relieved. I took it for over a month
and was happy and well again , but not
quite cured , to I wrote to Dr. Hnrtmnn for
advice which he very kindly gave me , and ,
with his help and Pe-ru-na , I am now
quite well. I recommend It to everybody
with many thanks. "
In glancing at this group of handsome ,
healthy women one can scarcely make 'him
self believe that they had ever been Inval
ids. Their letters reveal , however , that
such was the case. Miss Shoelpple of
Missouri suffered three years with catarrh
of the head , nose and throat. Only a lady
of refinement and delicacy , can understand
the full horror of three years' servitude to
chronic nasal catarrh. Of course , this lady
was trying her best all the time to find a
cure , but was unsucce sful. Her attention
was called to Pe-ru-na , whirt promptly re
lieved and finally cured her. Miss Llnnle
Wiggins of Ohio had a very similar ex
perience , as her letter reveals.
.Mr . IIr.villit of MI l xl | i | > l.
Mrs. S. B. Bryant ,
Crawford , Miss. ,
writes : " 1 suffered
about six years with
chronic catarrh. It
was so bad I could
not breathe through
my nose for weeks
at a time. I took
two bottles of your

Mrs. P B Bryant. has been two years

Miss Llnnie Wiggins. Berlin Heights. 0. ,
says : "I send my photograph and testi
monial. 1 suffered from catarrh of the
head , nose and throat for three years. 1
could get no relief until I began taking Pe-
ru-na. Independent of curing my catarrli
it has greatly Improved my general health ,
I cannot describe the change. Any one suf
fering from catarrh , and knowing that It can
be cured , would be very unwise not to take
Dr. Hartman's advice. Follow directions ,
Pe-ru-na does the rest. "
Mrs. O. V. McHargue , Bozeman , Mont. ,
wrHea : "After I received your advice lc
regard to the supposed polypus , as I ther
cculd not afford to have it removed , 1 be
gan to take Pe-ru-na , thinking I might ai
least get some temporary relief. Hy thi
time 1 had taken one bottle the polypus had
disappeared , and three bottles cured the ca
tarrh nnd throat trouble. I have recom
mended the medicine to several friends. As
a minister's wife I come tn contact with all
classes of pecple and shall always speak a
gcod word for Pe-ru-nn. 1 have given trial
bottles to a few friends. 1 wish you abun
dant success , so long as you merit It sc
richly as you have heretofore "

Mrs. H. D. Aiuois , Greensboro , Ga.
Mrs. C. C. Naeve. 3S8 Morrison street ,
Portland , Ore . says"I began to take Pe-
ru-na when I lived in Columbus. O. , In 1SS7 ,
and have used U an' the Man-a-lln ever
since whene\er 1 needed medicine. I have
never found an equal to Pe-ru-na for regu
lating the menses , nnd before I began to
take It 1was never regular and always
had more or lees pain. I had tried many
different medicines before I saw Pe-ru-na ,
but without success. "
Mrs. Naove of Oregon has found Pe-ru-na
to be , what so many other women have dis
covered , a perfect panacea of the ills pecu
liar to women. Dr. Hurtman was the first
to point , out to the medical profession that
the peculiar ailments of women are nearly
always due to catarrh of the pelvic organs.
Pe-ru-nn cures catarrh wherever located.
This explains why it is that so many women
have found Pe-ru-na such a permanent cure
for their special ailments. Pe-ru-na cures
just one ailment catarrh. But catarrh as
sumes a variety of forms. The letter from
Mrs. MrHargue of Montana should be read
and heeded by every sufferer from chronic
catarrh of the head and nose.
