D. Jenkins as steward of the State Asylum for the Insane at Norfofk , July 1. This ap pointment wns held up for some time on ac count cf there being strong Influence brought to bear on the chief executive for other ap plicants , most of whom wcro populists. Mr. Reese Is a strong democrat and hns served on numerous democratic central committees. Ho Is nt present state central comralttccman from Madison county. In connection with thls"ofnce , the "four- year-rule" promulgated by Governor Poyn ter was enforced.

Commissions for twelve officers of the University Cadets have been made out In the governor's ofllco and next week they will be presented to the students when they grad uate. To the young nnd ambitious cadet ofllcers these commissions appear almost as valuable as the diplomas. They are printed on heavy parchment paper with the coat of arms of the state , the governor's official seal and signed by Governor Poynter , Secre tary of State Porter , Adjutant General Barry nnd Charter Weeks , commandant and In structor of military science at the State university. The Intention of the law In pro viding for military training at the State uni versity Is to suppl } the state militia with ofllcers who have experience and military tialnlng under n regular army ofilcer. Until Inst year the various cadet officers who held these commissions supposed that In the ovcnt of war they would be called upon to enter the service , but this privilege was not taken advantage of by the governor , who oven Ignored them and refused to allow them to go Into the voMntcer regiments ns offi cers as provided for in the commissions. The cadets who will receive commissions this year are ns follows : Captains John D. Haetlo , Joel Stebblns , Otis G. Whlpple , Orlo Brown , John T. Sumner - ner ; First Lieutenants Joseph F. Boomer , Edgar II. Clark , Earl McCrecry , Charles H. von Mansfeldc , Charles E. Doran ; Second Lieutenants G. A. Benedict and A. Hansen. On the commission " " the word "militia" stands out most prominently , being In largo engraved letters under the Inscription : "William A. Poynter , governor of the state of Nebraska ; to whom all these presents shall come , greeting. " The commission reads as follows : Know ye , that whereas of hav ing graduated and holding the office of university cadets , and said appoint ment having been duly certified ns required by law , now , therefore I. William A. Poyn- tor , governor of the state of Nebraska and commander-In-chlef of the militia thereof , in the ntme and by the authority of the people ple of said state , do commission said n ictired officer of cadets , to said office with the rank of to date from the day of A. D. 1809. Ho Is therefore , when called Into service under this com mission , carefully nnd diligently to discharge the duties of sold office by doing and per forming all manner of things thereunto te- longlng and ho Is to obey the commander-ln- chlef and his superior olTccrs , and I do strictly require all offlce-s au-1 a'-'diers under his command to be obelU , t t : his orders In 'cstimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused to be affixed 'he great seal of the state of Nebraska , done at Lin coln this day of In tbo year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety-nine and of the independence of the United States the hundred and twenty-third. Hartley Boniliuiicii Cane. Judge Frost this afternoon decided to al low the bondsmen of ex-Stato Treasurer Bartley another hearing on their petition for an Injunction restraining the attorney general , governor and other state officers from prosecuting them until after the lia bility of the Omaha National bank for a portion tion of the shortage of the ex-treasurer Is determined In court. Argument on the pe tition was made several weeks ago and Monday Judge Frost refused to grant the Injunction , vacating his temporary restrain ing order. When the adverse decision was rendered the attorneys for the bondsmen Immediately filed objections with a motion for a rehear ing , citing eight alleged errors. At tbo tlmo Judge Frost expressed his willingness to have the case argued again before the entire bench If the other Judges agreed. The motion was to have been argued this nfternoon , but the court decided to grant another hearing without argument being mado. The order of the court refusing to grant the Injunction and vacating the tem porary restraining order was revoked. The case now rests In n much complicated condition. There is some doubt as to whether a restraining older once dissolved can bo enforced again before being argued In court. This l precisely what the district court hns sought to do , but the attorney general seated this afternoon that the suit against the bondsmen In Omali.i could bo commenced , the restraining order having been once vacated. The case In the district court hero will not be argued again until Saturday : uul It Is doubtful If It can be reached by that time. In addition to the petition for injunction another obstacle elands In the way of the prosecution. The case of the state against the bondsmen In Omaha Is entered In Judge Powell's docket nnd oven If the attorney general Is per mitted to go ahead with his case It U hardly probable that It would be called to trial during the present term of court , during which nrarly all of the time In Judge Powell's court will be devoted to the election case. The attorney general stated this afternoon that an attempt would be made to transfer the case to another docket , intimating that ho might begin the prosecu tion at once , The motion of Auditor Cornell for n new trial of the case wherein the court found that L. J. Abbott was entitled to the sum of $1,000 In addition to hU regular salary for ( services as superintendent of the State Asylum for the Insane near this city , wa < urgued In the district court this afternoon Ex-Governor Silas A Holcomb appeared In behalf of the auditor , contending that the court's conclusions of fact were not ac cording to law , and that nn error had been made in refusing to admit the engrossed bill to prove that the Intention of the legisla ture was to pay the euperlntendent of the nsylum a } early salary of J.J.OOO At the conclusion of the argument Judge f Holmes announced that he saw no reason vhy his former decision should be reversed.
