The condition of the Nebraska National guard fund will hardly permit the holding of another encampment unless the state goes Into debt. The appropriation made by the legislature was much smaller than the amount asked for by the adjutant general and It is quite probable that there will be a ( tendency In the fund by the end of next year.

PAXTON CASE IS SUBMITTED SlZc of the Stnte nn Siinitneil III ) He- fore the Court li > Attorney General LINCOLN , Nov. 22. ( Special. ) The case of William A. Paxton and others against the state of Nebraska , In which the plaintiffs seek a reversal of the decision of the dis trict court of Douglas county holding them liable on the bond of ex-State Treasurer Bartley , was argued and submitted to the supreme court late this afternoon. John C. Con In , Robert R > an nnd Frank Irvine ap peared for the bondomcn and Attorney Gen eral Smyth and Ed P. Smith argued for the state. The side of the state was surntnoJ up as follows by Attorney General Smyth : 1. Deputy Secretary of State EvniiM nnd Governor llolcnmb tcstlllcil i nltlvclv that the bond was left In tlio Tcretary's otllce on the Dili of January , 1S95. No ono con tra'.lets this. 2. Governor Holcomb says that the bond was left with him on the 3rd of January. No one contradicts this. 3. Governor Holcomb says that he handed the bond back to Bnitloy on the 3rd ; that Hartley returned It to him Rome h6ur. < afterward on the same day , niul that It continued In his possession until he handed It to Hartley nn Monday , tlio 7th , to hnvo the additional signatures attached to It. No one contradicts this. 4. Hartley procured the additional signa tures brought the bond back nnd delivered It to Governor Holcomb on the Stli. and Governor Holcnmb then told him Hint ho would approve it. Ho ( Hartley ) left It them until the approval was cnc1ort.cil upon It nnd then , cither Bartley or the governor placed It In the secretary of state's ofllcc. No ono contradicts this. B. It Is shown without dispute thnt Bart- lev received the bond back on the 3rd without the approval of the Governor , but It Is also shown without contradiction that Dnrtlqy returned the bond on the Srd 6. Governor Holcomb testifies that be said to Hartley that he would be unable to pass upon the sufficiency of the sureties on the 3rd and that he would have to take more time. No one disputes this. 7. The answer to the second , third and fifth questions , answer this question. 8. The evidence shows without contradic tion that he was chargeable with $958- OGS.75 , and It does not make any differ ence In law whether he hail the money In his hands or in his pockets , or In a safe In the treasurer's ofllce. 9. The exact amount of specie which Hartley had on hand at the close of his first term is fixed without contradiction bv the testimony of the witness , Bartlett. The amount of checks , drafts and other evidences of debt Is fixed without contra diction by Governor Holcomb. Neither checks , drafts or evidences of debt could represent the state money. They could represent only the money of the person or Institution owing the debt against which they were drawn. No question for a jury. 10. The first half of this question is answered In the answer to the preceding question. As to whether any money rep resented by the checks , etc. , accepted bv Bartley from his predecessor wns collected after the commencement of hip second term Is utterly Immaterial In law , If he accepted uch checks as and for money and the state by this action ratified the acceptance : and , finally. Hartley's own statement In his day book , which Is tin- cnntradlcted , shows that he had collected the money on all the checks aforesaid. No question there for a jury. 11. Under the ur.contrndlctpcl testimony reasonable men could not differ with re spect to the fact thnt he did so receive the chocks , drafts and other evidences of Indebtedness. 12. He accepted them ns genuine , accord ing to his statement In his day book re ferred to , and collected the cash on them. 13. Whether ho had or not. he at the end of his first term accounted to his suc cessor for every dollar ho was charged with , and his successor settled with him on that basis. , 14. This Is but another form of several previous questions. The amount he re ceived dnrlnpr his second term Is shown by his books without contradiction and the amount unaccounted for Is established without contradiction. 15. This is another form of the previous nnd other questions. The evidence shows conclusively the amount which he lawfully paid out. There is no dispute about It ! " . the record. 16. The facts are nil admitted. Reason able men could draw but one Inference from them , that la , that ho did just what the petition alleges. 17. With respect to Swobe. Taylor and Paxton , thn answer of each admits that ho signed the bond as charged In the pe tition. The evidence shows without con tradiction that this was done on Mondav the 7th nnd Tuesday the Sth. Neither of them sny that he relied on anything In slgnlnK the bond What question of fact was there to submit to a Jury with re- erect to them ? Whether the other answering sureties know anything about the matter or had the Intention alleged In the question , Is not known , for the reason that there Is not a particle of evidence touching the matter or Intention in the record. How then could there be n question of fact for the Jury to pass upon ? 18. The admission In evidence of the transcript , as wo have Just shown , wns erroneous , and the admission wns not suf ficient on which to base a verdict. 19. Whether they were or were not , Is Immaterial , and If It were material , the paper which ho signed declared that he wns bound the same nB If the names hud not been added. The state acted on that declaration , and he cannot now be heard to ray that ho did not mean what ho said. The supreme court will adjourn tomorrow morning.

( Special. ) Adams county and vicinity are being "worked" by lightning rod sharpers. Not long ago Henry Wengert , a farmer living northeast of Hastings , signed a contract to have rods put on his barn nnd soon the work was done. Then a bill of $240 wai presented to him. Mr. Wengort refused to pay the bill and later another man , who was connected with the lightning rod com pany , called upon Mr. Wengert and offered to accept $130 as payment In full. It seems the scheme worked by the lightning rod agents Is this. Their contracts call for rods at a certain price per foot , and also have a provision for "coupling , ornaments , extras , etc. " After the innocent looking contract has been signed and the rods put up _ a bill , accompanied by the contract , is presented for about three times the amount the farmer had been led to believe It would cost.

MARYVIM.E , Mo. , Nov. 22. ( Special. ) 0. C. Hanua. n Maryvllle traveling man , has received nn Interesting letter from his brother , Matthew E. Hanna , a first lieuten ant In the Second United States cavalry , who Is now , and has boon ever since the close of the Spanish-American war , on th'o staff of General Leonard Wood nt Santiago. Mr. Hanna docs not take an altogether hopeful view of the situation of affairs In Cuba. In the course of a description of a trip through the province of Santiago , which he made re cently In company with General Wood , Lieu tenant Hanna says : "Early Monday morning we left for the wcet and at 2 o'clock r > < m. were at Santa Cruz del Sur , the old capital of the Cuban re public. There were no American troops there , but the general stopped to BCD the people and Inquire Into their condition. As wo approached the little village wo saw the stars and stripes proudly waving and not a Cuban flag In sight. This epoke volumes , for they could have flown a Cuban ( lag to their heart's content. This was for some time the meeting place of the Cuban assem bly , which pretended to direct the affairs of the Cuban army during the war , and It wao quite natural to suppose the hotbed of Cuban sympathy. Dut It all seems to have been forgotten and the American flag Is to them the emblem of protection and of all that Is honest and Just and free In government. CnrruptliiK Influence of AKHntorn. "Don't understand me to bo picturing Cuba as already won for the Americans , for It Is fa1 from that , for when you get to a place Ilko Snota Cruz del Sur , where the corruptIng - Ing Influence of the Cuban agitator has not yet reached , jou find the people comparing the present peaceful times , devoted to the cultivation and Improvement of their farms , to the former times of war when no man was secure , or to the oldca times of peace when ho was rcarccly more secure , and giv ing the American protector all the credit. But soon the agitator will reach this little out of the nay place , poison will be Injected Into the minds of this simple people ready to believe anything , easily deceived ; their con tentment will bo turned Into discontentment , Just as It has already been In many another place in Cuba. "You arc probably paying more attention to the events of the Philippines and the Transvaal than to us poor ploddere In Cuba. The stirring martial times In thos ? places quite naturally call forth more Interest than the mere humdrum current of events here , but the American people should not forget that there is an Important question to be settled in Cuba , and It Is no nearer , perhaps not so near , settlement as it was clgnt months ago. A time Is coming when Interest will again be fixed upon Cuba. It Is to the Philippines that I would like to go because there Is fighting there , and , of course , that Is what has the greatest attraction for the soldier. But the work here Is very Interest ing and. In view of the situation , you can never tell what may occur. " On account of Lieutenant Hanna's close connection with General Wood the senti ments cxpressed'ln hlg lcttqr are regarded as reflecting In a measure the feelings and sentiments of his chief.
