ALLEGED POOR HEALTH AS THE CAUSE
Blnlo Monde Ofllrlnln on Ihe Anxious
bent to Know 'Whether the
Kirnt Hrulnirnt linn Soiled
from .llniitln.
LINCOLN . June 24 ( Special ) It has
been quietly rumored at the state house for
several weeks that George W leldlgh would
Boon bo replaced as warden ot the state peni
tentiary by cither Charles M Bran on of this
city or John Hopkins of Holt county While
the governor has made no attempt to remote
him from office It Is pretty generally under
stood that he has not met with the approval
ot all members of the State PrUon Board
During the last year and a half Warden
Lcldlgh has Introduced a number of prison
reform measures Into the state Institution ,
but In nearly every Instance he has been
opponed by the board This slight unpleas
antness has not acted as an Inducement to
Warden Leldlgh to remain with the Institu
tion and It Is not at an surprising to see
his resignation come In at this time The
day before Go\ernor I'o > nter left for 1111-
nol Warden Lcldlgh called at the state
house and Informed the chief executive that
ho Intended to resign. This decision of the
warden's was kept a secret for a while , but
it soon leaked out , and today a letter ot
resignation written by Mr. Leldlgh to the
governor was gl\en out at the executive
office. The reason given by Warden Lcldlgh
for resigning Is poor health. His letter to
the governor Is as follows
LINCOLN. June 16 To His Excellency ,
Governor W A. Poynter Owing to poor
health I hereby tender my resignation as
warden of the Nebraska State penitentiary
to take effect September 7 , 1S99 , or not later
than October 1 , 1SD9. Thanking your excel
lency for the uniform. Just and fair treat
ment accorded mo In our official relations , I
remain , very respectfully ,
GEORGE W. LEIDIGH.
As stated In the letter of resignation. Mr
Leldlgh has uot enjoyed good health for a
year or more and for this reason he "was
not at all reluctant about retiring. Ho has
made an excellent record as warden of the
penitentiary and Is well liked by all em
ployes and Inmates ot the Institution. It
has often been said that the prisoners are
treated with more consideration than the
guards.
For his position there are three candi
dates who will receive serious considera
tion and quite a number of others who -will
not be looked upon quite so favorably.
Michael Harrington of Holt county Is workIng -
Ing In the Interests of John ' cpklns of
O'Neill and strong pressure will bo brought
to bear on the governor -when he returns
from Illinois to appoint him as Leldlgh's
successor. The other two are Michael Welch
of Butler county and Charles 9. Branson of
Lancaster county. Charles S. Jones of
Omaha Is also strongly Indorsed and Is
claimed to stand as good a chance for the
appointment as any ot the three.
Anxlou * About the Flmt.
All state officials and especially thoss
connected with the military department of
the state are especially anxious to secure
some definite Information regarding the date
of salllnf of the First regiment from Ma
nila All sorts of theories have been adv -
v anccd , but noi of them seem to have any
p -tlcular amount ofweight. . Information
-nas given out at the adjutant general's of-
flcf. . this afternoon that the reason the regi
ment had not sailed on Juno 22 was that
certain commissioned officers who had been
on jpeclal duty were unable to get back to
their companies In time to sail on that
date. Quite a number of the officers of the
regiment have been detailed with other regi
ments or ou some ot the various staffs. The
reliability of this Information Is not guar
anteed by the adjutant general , as It did
not como direct by cablegram from Manila.
However , the fact that no word of the sail
ing of the troops has been receded here
Jo s not Indicate that they have not sailed.
The War department several weeks ago
notified Adjutant General Barry that the
elate military authorities would be advised
Immediately after the regiment started for
home. It Is possible that the department
has overlooked this and that the regiment Is
now on its \say home. If the Nebraska sol
diers sail on the Hancock the trip from Ma
nila to. San Francisco should be made in
less than twenty-five days.
The citizens of Lincoln who have under
taken the task cf arranging a reception for
the First regiment after It arrives home
are determined to carry out their plan. The
Etate officials ha\e not taken any active
interest In the project and will not until It
is definitely decided whether the reception
is going to bo held In Lincoln or Omaha.
A proclamation has teen prepared In the
governor's office to be Issued as soon as the
regiment starts for home , urging the people
of the state to co-operate In the reception
scheme. The proclamation does not refer
to any of the arrangements nor where the
reception will be held. A large proportion
of the state officials would be In favor of
ha.\lng the reception In Omaha.

Julian and Agnew. At its meeting In May
the council designated the Dawes County
