LI.S'COLN', May 10. (Special. )-The ref
erence In The Bee this morning to Treas
urer Meservo'B failure; to comply with the
mandate of the constitution by Inventing tho
pirmancnt oducatlonal funds, aroused con
siderable discussion at tho state house to
day and variolic opinions wero exproiscd by
prominent olTlceboldors. It was generally
admitted that the balance In the educational
funds, which on several occasions hns
iroountnl to over 1300,000, could have been '
Invested long ago, but the treasurer was dc-
fended on the ground that his adtfiln.ntra
tlon has been better than (bat of some of
his predecessors.
The Investment of this money, or rather
It non-Investment, has made Trcisurer '
Mesorvo tho target for fiome severe crltlrlim
during tho past few months and not long ago
Secretary of Statu I'orter openly demanded j
an explanation of Mr. Mcscrve. This j
was when Secretary Porter whs a candidate
for congress In tho Third district, but slnooj
u was demonstrate.! mat nis cnanccs lor
luccefB were not vory encouraging he has
allowed tho matter to drop.
In Uffrme of Meaerve.
"The Main treasurer should not be held
accountable for not Investing all of that
money," said ono man at the state house
In defense of Mr. Mcscrve. "It Is only re
cently that the bain nun has assumed such
large proportions. Mr. Meacrve has dono ev
erything In his power to place this money
where It will hrlng the highest revenue for
the state and because ho could not find se-

blamed. If you will look at tho records you !
will find that the uninvested balance of all j
of tho permanent funds has been kept down
remarkably low, the average being ato'it J
ISO.000. and frequently only i 10,000. It h
neceesary for him to keep a certain amount
on hand with which to purchase warrants."
This assertion prompted an examination
of the records and It was found from the
monthly reports that only thrcn times In
over two years did the balance fall below
J100.000. Viva reports showed a balance
on hand of over $300,000. eight reports
fhowed a balance of between $250,000 and
J300.000 and the remaining reports, except
ing the thrcn mentioned, tanged from $100,
000 to 2.r.0,000.

balance took a sudden drop of ne-irly $200.

balance Inrreased to $2S.O0O and then to $51,. I
000. Aflnr thnt It never fell below tho one
hundred mark.
When shown tfco-c figures the man who
had been so outspoken In defense of tho
treasurer remarked: "Well, whatever h'i
has or has not done his record Is hotter
than his pi'edrcernors,"

The result of tho meeting of ,fho repub
lican stnto central commute In this city to
morrow Is being awaited with much Intcr
rt by republicans all over tho state. -More
Importance Is attached to the selection of a
location for the white headquarters than any
other huslncv that will come before the
committee. There Is every Indication that
the appolntmejntHj"ecqmmc.uded by the can
didates at the meeting 'Monday night will
be made by the committee, hut over the loca
tion of the headquarters there promises to
bo a very warm fight. Two Lincoln hotels
have submitted bids, both of which are said
to he very satisfactory, but the acceptance of
either la considered rather doubtful because
of the general desire to locate the head
quartern at Omaha. It Is argued that the
state metropolis should bo the political
headquarters of the state, one reason being
that It Is more convenient than Lincoln.

BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT
Stnnilnril nil Comiuiny Complains Hint
It In n Viet I in to the Clmnor
Atcnlnot Trusts.
LINCOLN. May 10.-(Speclal.) The at
torneys for the Standard Oil company today
filed a brief In the supreme court In the case
brought by the attorney general lo disbar the
company from doing business In tho state.
In opening tho brief pleads that tho company
Is r victim of popular clamor against trusts,
and saja it has been forced Into court as a
result of agitation. It goes on:
Instructed by nubile imltutlon It i rom.
pcteut for the ogntle hrnneh of the gov
ernment to ennet statutes of whatever wis
doni or unwisdom In furthernn. e of princi
ples, doi trlnes, Idcns nnd notions which are
supposed by their advocates to contribute
lo the public wood Hut when questions of
the rnnitltutinnal validity of statutes
passed under thso Influences come into
court. If Justice is to be done, they will he
examined In h very different spirit. It Is not
the business of thn courts to inaugurate or
assist popular prejudices and popular theo
ries. In the calm and serene atmosphere of
the court room the Imperative duty Is to
exclude such Influences and apply settled
rules of law nnd constitutional provision
so as to give to all tho equal protection of
tho law
The brief then continues to argue that
tho act known m the anti-trust law Is un
constitutional, alleging that It violates the
fourteenth amendment, which says that "no
Rtato shall deny to any person within Its
Jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.'
It In contended that the etatute violates thin
amendment by tho distinction which It
makes between traders, manufacturers and
carriers on tho one side and assemblies or
aspoclatlons of laboring men on the other
and aleo between different classes of labor
ing men.
Exceptions are taken to the expressed
opinion of Justice Sullivan when he said he
doubted the correctness of the decision In
Low ngalnt Itoen Printing company. It Is
argued that this decision ehould not ho over
ruled. This decision declared thnt tho clas
siflcatlon the ten-hour labor law makes be
tween different classes of labor Is not pcr
mlrslblo. It In urged further thnt the net under ex
amination Interfere with Interstate com
mcrco nnd Is therefore unconstitutional.

AGITATED AT THE JAPANESE
Appearance in the Wait ofAiiatlc Labor
Worries Lawmakers at Washington.
UNION PACIFIC MOVE IS CONDEMNED
Substitution of Jnpanese for AVlilte
Men tin the Section Work Dis
cussed Ominously hy Senators
and llcitrcscntntli ea.
WASHINGTON. May 10 (Special Tele
gram.) Western senators and representa
tives arc considerably worried over private
dispatches received tonight stating that tho
Union Pacific railroad Is discharging white
section men between Rawlins nnd Ogden and
substituting Japanese labor Instead, and
that, not content with this Innovation, tho
management of tho road has decided to put
on Japanese labor from Rawlins eastward.
Several hundred Japanese laborers have also
been employed for the new Idaho Midland
road, according to the same authority.
Congressman Mondell of Wyoming said,
when asked his opinion of the charges mado
against the Union Pacific: "I can hardly
believe the road would substitute Japanese
for white labor. My Information Is that
white labor Is employed on more remunera
tive work than railroading, although 1 must
confess the stories of Japanese Immigra
tion have wotrled me considerably."
Senator Teller of Colorado said; "A year
and a half ago wo might havo reached tho
Union Pacific, but now I see no hope ex
cept to invoko a more stringent enforce
ment of contract labor laws. We can and
do shut out Chinese under the exclusion
paragraph of the treaty with China, but
with the rest of the world we have but one
general proposition that those coming In
must have some visible means of support,
and tbey generally have that In loans made
by the steaoishlp companies."
AVonlil lie a Dangerous Experiment.
It Is not believed that the Union Pacific,
should it be found that il is substituting
Japanese for white labor on the western
divisions of its system, will attempt like
action on its lino from Cheyenne eastward
to Omaha. As one legislator said, tho devil
would be to pay if this wero attempted and
united labor would undoubtedly take a hand
In the controversy.
General Manderson appeared before the
commerce committee of the senate today on
Thurston's amendment to the sundry civil
bill In relation to an appropriation for tho
continuance of the Missouri river commis
sion and a specific appropriation for Ne
braska City and Rulo. General Mauderson
reviewed the work dono by the commission
at those points and the necessity for further
work to 6ave government property, and
then showed how the water of the Missouri
had commenced to cut away the government
work already done because of the failure on
the part of tho government to continue Its
operations.
It is believed that the committee on com
merce will report tho amendment favorably
to tho appropriations committee, certainly
for tho 1125,000 asked for by Senator Thurs
ton, and in all probability for a specific ap
propriation of 300,000 for the Missouri River
commission.
Henderson for Second Place.
Edward Rreewater, when asked tonight
who hie candidate for vlco president might
be, said that he had no candidate, but he
thought that If the west were to be given the
place the republican party could make no
mlstakn In selecting David B. Henderson,
speaker of the house of representatives.
He believed he would appeal to a wide
section of the country n a splendid example
of Americanism and would unify all fac
tions). Senator Kylo introduced a bill today to
Increase the limit of the cost for the publlo
building at Aberdeen, S. D.. to $150,000. the
original cent having been placed at $87,000.
Rawnusscn ft Strehlow of Omaha, who are
the lowest bidders for the erection of the
Government building at the Buffalo exposi
tion, constructed the Mines and Mining
building at the Omaha exposition. Their
bid for the Buffalo building was $193,000.
Congreeamen Gamble and Burke presented
a delegation of Yankton Sioux Indians to tho
senate committee on Indian affaire today. In
support of tho treaty made with that tribe,
and Inspector Mclaughlin for lands In Min
nesota on which tho famous plpeatone quar
ries are located. Mr. Gamblo spoke of
tho historic associations clustering about the
place and the liberal offer which tho Indians
had made to tho government for tho land,
comprising 610 acres, but the committee wan
iust a trifle skeptical and proceeded to ex
amine Mr. Gamble as well as some of the
Indians present. Mr. Quarles said It seemed
Ilka capitalizing history and ho mw no good
In that proposition. Senator Stewart thought
tho Indians 'had executed a sharp bargain
with the government and he was opposed to
scheme. Rather than have the hide taken
off the measure. Mr. Gamblo asked that the
matter bo referred to a subcommittee, which
was, done.
General and Mrs. Manderson will leave

WHY WE MAKE
SO MANY CURES
By the Great Electro-Medical Specialist,
1). V. TOLSON, iM. I)., lh. (J.. O.,
- of the State Klectr o-Mrdlcal Institute.
"In the cure of certain special dl.--eases there can be io comparison between tho
success of the ordinary tucdlcHl si" clallst and that of the Electro-Medical specialists
of this Institute, who use our own ivrfeeted system of Electro-Medical treatment.
The difference Is this, these Electro-Medical ypoeUllst use the powerful curative f.ie
tors of both medical nnd electtlenl treatment, while the medlcHl specialist c.ui uso
only the half or mcllcal part it Is u well known fact Hint the medical snecUIIM
can cure only a certain per rent of rases, while the electrical specialist also CHn cure
only a certnln per cent. Now, the electro-medical specialists of this Institute have
scientifically and successfully combined t he c urative factors of both thn tnedlc.il and
electrical treatment by means of which they cut cure promptly and thoroughly dls
eases thnt cannot lie even benefited by the medical specialist or electrical treatment
used separately.
"Many thousand happy men today gladly testify to the truth of the above
plausible statement, who had tried the hhm1U.i1 specialist without success. It Is Mm
twentieth century treatment. There are two fundamental s stems that make no tho
human bod), namely, the nervous s.vstcm and the muscular system, each of which Is
siiscentlbln to various diseases. Disease of Mm muculnr system are most benefited
by medical treatment, while diseased of tho nervous system aro most benefited bv
electrical treatment.
"There are very few disease? of the nervous system which are not sooner or
later I'ompllcated with disease of the muscular system and vice vera. In such cases
a euro cannot bo effected without the combined electro-medical treatment.
