It Is unlawful for the state treasurer to
make any disposition of any portion of theao
educational funds other than by Investment
In the manner prescribed by law and un-
llko the other funds they cannot be loaned
to state depositories.
The records of the state treasurer's of-
flco show that a total of $253,494.72 of these
educational funds remain uninvested , or ,
In other words , that the schools of the state
are deriving no benefit whatever from that
amount of money. A largo proportion of the
permanent school fund has been Invested In
general fund warrants and county bonds ,
upon which premiums amounting to $45-
653.78 have been paid.
Tbo following statement shows how the
money In tbo various educational funds Is

from the state school tax , Interest on con
tracts for the sale of school lands , rent of
school lands leased , Interest on saline lands
and the revenue from the Investment of the
permanent fund. The figures this year show
a deprcase In the temporary fund , the loss
being due to a decrease In the Interest on
tbo school and saline lands , state and

LINCOLN , Dec. 9. ( Special. ) A few
politicians remained In tbe city today to
talk over the senatorial situation , but the
absence of Governor Poynlcr prevented any
very hard work being done for cither can
didate. Senator Halo of Madison arrived this
morning and will probably remain until
Governor Poynter returns , .u lion ho will ap
pear before him In Allen's behalf. He will
present the claims of Allen's friends both
orally and in writing.
Numerous petitions were received at the
governor's ofllco today and nil were placed
on file to await ' consideration by Governor
Poynter after 'he returns. Telegrams poured
In from all over the country and every mall
brought a huge pile of letters relating to tbo
senatorial vacancy.
It was rumored here today that the sup
porters of Hitchcock would ask Governor
Poynter to request William V. Allen to
withdraw from the race. Adjutant General
Barry , who has been with the governor al
most constantly since the senatorial vacancy
occurred , will visit Madlaon Monday and If
Mr. Allen Is at home will probably consult
with him concerning his candidacy for the
appointment. General Barry left the city
this morning nnd it Is possible that he may
secure an Interview with Judge Allen to
morrow.

The records of the state treasurer's office
show that the debt of tbe state of Nebraska
Is approximately $1,755,000. Tbe outstanding
registered warrants amount to $1,674,642.03 ,
tbo unregistered warrants to about $25,000
and tbe state bonds to $55,000.Tbo unpaid
taxes amount to over $2,800,000.
There has been but very little change in
the tatus of the four educational funds
during the past few months. The return
from the Investment of the permanent school
fund were slightly lees during tbo last six
months than for the corresponding period
last year and consequently the apportion
ment for tbe schools fell below last year's
about $8,000. ,
All of the state bonds remaining unpaid ,
amounting to only $55,000 , are held by tbo
permanent school fund.
The Issuance of theno bonds was one of
the results of a transfer of state money
from one fund to another. Between 1898
and 1871 the state Invested $71,000 in United
States government bonds for the permanent
school fund. A few years later these bonds
were sold for $80,460 , which , with money
received from other sources , was transferred
to the general fund. The total amount of
the transfer was $158,837,87. A transfer cer
tificate for this amount was Issued and
turned back as security Into the permanent
school fund. Between 1874 and 1S7C general
fund warrants to the amount of $184,119.67
were paid out of the permanent school fund
nnd another transfer certificate was made
out by the state treasurer as security to be
held by the school fund.
During the same period the first state re
funding bonds were Issued and tbe two
certificates were taken up , State bonds
ti tbo amount of $425,267,35 were lesued In
the name of the permanent school fund and
the difference between the certificates and
the bonds was paid in cash out of the per
manent school fund. Since that tlmn all hut
