Mmle on Mtilforil'n Recommendation. Secretary Fred Jewell announced this aft ernoon that the appointments were made nt V the recommendation of Colonel Mulford and approved by Governor Poynter , who Is now In Illinois. These vcc ° mmendatlons , It Is eald , have been made from time to time by the coloner of the regiment , but all of them are not represented by the promotions. The wires were kept hot yesterday afternoon and this morning between Lincoln and Eureka , III. , and the result of this telegraphic com ' munication Is shown In the cablegram sent 'f. this morning to Colonel Mulford. While the records show that the appointments were made by Lieutenant Governor Gilbert they were really made at the Instance of Governor Poynter. As usual there Is considerable dissatisfac tion ever the appointments , The loudest wall comes from the friends of Cif.Haln Holdeman , who lias been the ranking cap tain of the regiment since It left this stato. Numerous promotions have been made over his head against the protests of his friends and the promotion of Captain Klflan of Co lumbus to senior major to take the place of ' ,4 " , Major Eager was not only a surprise but a serious disappointment. Tno junior major , Taylor of Omaha , was also overlooked In the promotions and allowed to remain In his present position , while a man with the rank of captain and who was not the senloi- nlllcer of that rank was pushed up the lad der ahead of him. The promotion of Major Taylor to senior major ivould have been hon orary recognition , but would have carried with It no raise of salary. It was reported at the state house this afternoon that the people of Platte county were highly Indignant at the refusal of Gov ernor Poynter to recognize the right of Cap tain Kllllan for promotion. Acting Governor Gilbert was not nt Lincoln this morning , but he performed the formality of promoting the various officers nt his homo In York , Nob. Ho Is expected In the city tomorrow morning , Knntner Hunt Serve IIU Term. The supreme court this afternoon handed 'down an opinion In the case of August Knetncr of Omaha , sentenced to the peni tentiary for life for murder , the decision of tbo district court of Douglas county be ing affirmed. Kastncr shot Dan Tiedeman , n policeman , In Omaha about two years ago and wounded another officer. Ho was at tempting to burglarize a saloon when tbo two policemen surprised him at his work. Kastner fired several shots at the two offi cers , two of them taking effect. He Is now In the penitentiary. Several other Important criminal cases were also decided this afternoon before ad journment , among them being the Thomas Sullivan murder case , appealed from Douglas - las county. Sullivan was sentenced In the district court to eleven > ears In the peniten tiary for killing Thomas Klrkland and the decision has been aftlrmed by tbo supreme court. The ca e of Frank Ward , charger \\lth assaulting Gregg Long , appealed to the supreme court from Jefferson county was affirmed , Wtrd'e sentence Is three years In the penitentiary , The decUlon o the county court In the case of John Dunn charged nlth attempted criminal assault o Louisa Lund , was also affirmed. Dunn's penalty \\o a commitment to the reform school. TIi motion for a rehearing of the Hilton case , an action brought by the state again * htm and bis bondemcn and In which judg ment for about $7,000 Is asked , wan over ruled. The court also handed down an opinion In the Cherry county bond case , holding that the bonds of that county offered for sale to Uio slate Arc not legal because the notice of tlic election at which they were voted s not published as required by law. The notlco was published four different times , but the first publication was less than four weeks before election. The court holds that all such notices must be published four weeks before election. The decision of the district court In the cane of the First National bank ot Omaha ngalnst Emma Goodman was affirmed. In this case the bonk mied to recover on life Insurance policies given as security for the rayment of a debt. The syllabus of the case U ns follows : "Policies of life Insurance on the life of her husband were pledged by the bcnc- Iclary as security for the payment of the lebt of the husband. The evidence held ntmclcnt to support a finding that the con- ract of pledge wan Inclusive of extensions of time of payment and that such exten- Ions were made did not discharge or rc- ease the pledge. " The January term of the supreme court was concluded this afternoon nnd the next Ittlng will not bo held until September. leforo adjourning the election contest case of H. H. iMouk against 13. I ) . Drown , ap- > caled from Nuckolls county , was advanced o be tried at the next sitting. MlntnkcN cif I'rlnlcrx. In the printed copies of tne life and fire nsurance laws of the state of Nebraska , ompllcd by A. E. Sheldon of the secretary of state's offlce and Just received nt the tale house from the printer , a number of mistakes have been discovered In several of ho laws that may possibly lead to litigation , n the net relating to mutual benefit asso- latlons and life Insurance companies , Intro duced nnd passed by the legislature of 1897 nnd amended this year , are several provl- Ions authorizing the auditor of public ac- ounts to transact the business of the Insur- mco department nnd to accept fees from neuranco companies and In other places ref- renco Is made to the governor as Insur- nee commissioner. The Weaver bill , trans- crrlng the Insurance department to the gov- niut , , io imBai'u jinu iipprovcti .Mnrcn ii , mt all of the amendments to the Insurance nws were not worded in accordance with ts provisions. In the mutual swine Insur- nce act , authorizing the organization nnd cgulatlon of the conduct of mutual Insur- nce companies Insuring against loss of hogs > y death caused by disease , no reference Is nado to the insurance commissioner. This ) lll was Introduced before the Weaver bill , but was not passed until April 7. It Is ulto nn Important measure , but It refers nly to the state auditor regarding the con duct and regulation of tUe companies coni ng under Its head. The errors In the Insurance laws were dls- overed several weeks before by an employe n the secretary of state's office , Stif as It was then too Into to rectify the mistakes of the legislature nothing was said until the irlntcd copies of the laws were delivered o the state today. The passage of the Weaver bill neces sitated many changes nnd amendments In measures pending the action of ttie legisla ture and It Is not at all surprising that a few errors crept In. According to the meas ures quoted quite a number of companies will not be under the direction or regulation of either the governor or the auditor. I'AMC ON M3IIHASICA ANTIQUITIES. Prof. Illnckinnii Ilcllcvcx City of Qul- veru to Ilnvc liccn Ilenl. COLUMDUS , Neb. , June 21. ( Special. ) Prof. E. E. Ulackman of Hoca , Neb. , a member of the State Historical society , gave a very Interesting lecture yesterday iftcrnoon before the Teachers' Institute now In session. His " subject was the "Co- ranado Legend. " Ho Is of the firm opinion hat the famous city of CJulvera was very near the present site of this city , and hlnks It was close to the confluence of the Loup and Platte rivers. That Padllla's ; rave is within the borders of Nebraska he hlnks Is beyond question. According to data , the city must have flourished some four hundred years ago , for he says It Is a well authenticated fact that four Span- ards made a pilgrimage to the city of Qulvera in 1530 , and In 1662 Penaloaa mode ils expedition to the same country. Ne- jrasko , he says , Is nmong the richest of the states for prehistoric research , and he regrets that so little has been accomplished n this direction. The Pawnees , he says , had many traditions pointing toward a once great civilization , and they were un- loubtedly a branch of the Mexican Aztec , and no doubt a retrograded remnant of Plato's Lost Atlantis. Mr. Dlackman Is very enthusiastic in the matter of prehis toric research In Nebraska and Invites cor respondence on the subject.

LARGE NUMBER OF VISITORS PRESENT Senntor WnrriMi Deliver * the Ai1rtre * to thp ( irnituntefl , n Sppoch Ilrlin- ftll of Oooil Ail11co to thp L-ARAMIE , Wyo. . Juno 21. ( Special. ) The annual commencement exercises of the Wyoming State university were concluded this evening , a large number of visitors from different parts of the state being pres ent. The commencement address to the students of the university was delivered by Senator Francis E. Warren of Cheyenne. Senator Warren's address was In part ns follows : "I do not forget that many of you are graduating from n Ufa of study and from a realm of theory to the sterner endeavors of maturcr years , where patient , persistent and sometimes dreary toll Is the price of success. Therefore , at the risk of dlsap- pointing you , I take you Into my confidence and say that Instead of trying to offer a polished Jewel of oratory 1 will offer some- I thing along very practical lines. This with ! a view of noting Incidents ot our Individual and national life , and perhaps drawing some | conclusions and comparisons , or mayhap a I moral. Proceeding on this line , I am re minded that the Wyoming university Is nn agricultural college as 'well , and It Is due to this fact that wo have the generous assistance of the United States. That we have this assistance Is due to that veteran statesman , who , during the last year , passed | to the great beyond , Hon. Justin S. Morrlll of Vermont. Senator "Merrill " , our benefactor ' In this respect , early In his official career , 1 Inaugurated < i campaign for practical educa tion In every state and territory through colleges to be assisted by the government In regular annual appropriations of , money , and his efforts eventually resulted In the magnificent endowment , enjoyed by this and every other state In the union , of $40,000 for ' each state per annum. I "The life of this statesman and patriot , as | wo review it , typifies In a measure the life of our nation , growing from small begin nings to full nnd perfect development. And , reflecting upon our national life , much as we would upon that of a successful man , we might naturally ask questions of such Im port as these : What progress have we made In accumulating national wealth ; develop ing our resources ; our manufactures ? What have wo built ; what of our standing with other nations ; what are we doing for hu man liberty , nnd what are the Impending and Imminent problems for us to solve ? A Creditor \atlon. "From a borrowing nation we have become ' almost In the twinkling of an eye a creditor 1 nation. A thousand million dollars In gold Is our present store , which is $200,000,000 Increase over our stock of a year ago. The whole world produced during the last year but $285,000,000 In gold , of which $65,000,000 was used In the arts , leaving $220,000,000 added to the world's coin , of which the United States captured the lion's share , or $202,000,000 , almost the whole lump. In agriculture , from a small exporting and larga importing nation , we have turned the scales and exactly the reverse Is now true. In the past eleven months our exports of merchan dise have exceeded our Imports by $495,000- 000 and $260,000,000 of our securities held abroad have been bought back by American I capitalists. ( "Our manufactures are seeking every clime and England , France and Germany are viewing with alarm the passing of the I manufacturing scepter ft3/fh.the / old -world to the new. In our relations with other nations wo have In the last twelve months sprung from a somewhat Isolated nnd unlm- portant nation , Internationally speaking , to ono of the most Important nnd powerful. Our citizens In foreign lands no longer seek ' a British consul to enforce their rights , as wo regret they sometimes had to do when our flag seemed weak or far away. Glniicc Into thp Future. "Are we the same liberty loving and liberty giving people as of old ? The pessimists , those who see gloom and failure In every thing ; the critics who are always destroy ers and never creators ; the envious who view with composure the troubles which maybe bo about and around the nation these , whonvwe always have with us , will gay we are not. But they who look with hope to the future ; who be.'ieve In building up rather than In tearing down ; In progress rather than stagnatlcn ; who are patriots In that they attribute patriotic motives to th.e rulers of the nation they -will answer yes. The traditions and principles upon which our na tion Is founded are for liberty and relief of the oppressed and every gun that Is fired by our soldiers In the far orient Is that ulti mately liberty and the blessings of free gov ernment and civilization may bo given to a people crushed and blinded by centuries of oppression. "As to the future , you -who arc now gradu ating from school and youth have In your own hands your own and the nation's future. Wo I who are commencing the downward incline i of life can best serve you by showing you the ! rugged and toilsome Incline up whlcih we have labored and bid you In Bomo regard Judge the future by the past. It Is for this that I have called your attention to the life of Senator iMorrlll , a man healthy In body and mind , who , like you , was born and reared In a frontier state among the moun tains. By birth and training you are equipped to become citizens of whom your state and your alma mater may well be proud.
