BEATRICE, Neb., Jan. 31. To tho Editor
of Tho Bee Dear Sir: A careful perusal
of tho letterr by Major F. A. Williams In
this morning's Bee brings to mind a letter
received a few weeks ago and signed by
Sorgcant August Tylco of the Third Ne
braska. I enclose a copy of the same.
Curiosity nnd a deslro for Information
Impels mo to ask for a little light upon
the subject. In both letters we find a
statement referring to Melklejohn which
reads as follows:
"We all know thnt ho was and Is the best
friend to the Nebraska noldlor boys. Dur
ing tho war bo did much for them nnd tin
chanco to forward tjiolr Intcrosts was neg
lected nnd no request slighted."
How do we know thnt he was and Is the
best friend to tho Nebraskn soldier boys?
.What did ho ever do for the Nebraska rogl
raents that was not dono for the other mem
bers of tho volunteer army? Does Mr.
Melklojohn, through his literary bureau,
mean to claim that no discriminated against
the membcro of other organizations and
In favor of tho Nebraska rogluicntB? If
ho does I think I can safely say (speaking
for tho First Nebraska) that tho Impression
Intended to convey Is entirely false and
erroneous.
When Mr. Melklejohn stated to Mr. Hay-
war!, when Hayward was a candldato for
governor, that he f.MolkloJohn) would. In
case of Hnyward's election, immediately re
quest Colonel Stotsenburg's resignation as
colonel of tho First Nebraska and order
him back to his own regiment, so that an
xothcr who hod moro Influence In tho state
might be appointed colonel, I suppose bo
thought that bo wno doing tho "oxtromcly
graceful" to tho Nebraska boys,
Tho only blot upon tho record of tho First
regiment today Is that self-samo hullabaloo
kicked up by a few malcontents against
Colonel Stotsenburg, ono of tho bravest of
men and truest of soldiers that ever lived,
and thore Is not a member of tho First No
broska regiment who had tho honor of
serving under Colonel Stotsenburg In tho
Philippine campaigns but has a bitterness
of heart against thoeo who mnllgued lilm
and sought to dopoio him. Tho members
of tho "fighting First" would glvo worlds
to wlpo out that blot and bring to life
again the gallant colonel, who, although
hounded to distraction and smnrtlng under
tho sting of tho unjust charges against htm,
rushed by train from Manila ono bright
Sundny In April that ho might Join his
regiment In action nnd who gave his life In
tying to extract his boys from the
slaughtor pen Into which they had been
driven by Incompetent officers,
It Mr. Melklejohn hnd a hand In the
fight ngalnst Colonol Stotsonburg ho can
never hope to have tho support of tho boys
of tho First Nebraskn reglmont, for too
many of thoir comrades All graves today
as a result of political gerrymandering.
Possibly a few of tho members, who wero
enabled to securo their discharges when
tho regiment got Into nctlvo service, as
the prlco of the political Influonco of par
ents or friends, may bo able to explain
JUBt what Melklejohn did for tho regiment,
but If thero are any others who can recall
any special occasion of friendship or fa
voritism they havo failed to make them-
bpIvos known.

ents intended for tho boys stood on tho

LINCOLN. Dec. 2. Dear Sir nnd Com
rade: I want to write to you at this time
to extend the compliments of tho season
and at the same tlmo to call your atten
tion to an Important matter.
Ono of tho candidates In the present
senatorial struggle Is Assistant Secretary
of War G. D. Molklejohn. I feel that It
would be a graceful net for All the veterans
of the Spanish-American war to pull off
their coats nnd do their level best for
Melklejohn. Wo all know that he was, and
Is, tho best and roost Influential friend of
tho Nebraska soldier boys. During the
war he did much for them. No chance to
forward their Interests was neglected and
no request waa slighted, I know that ho
Is heartily In favor of the hill now before
tho senato known as tho "Veteran Prefer
ment Bill" nnd that he will vote for It.
Wo need more votos. We ought to do all
io can for him now.
Lot mo know what you think about this
and what you will do to lnfluenco the re
publican volunteers And public sentiment
In favor of Melklejohn. It seems to mo
that now Is tho time for us to pull to
gether. Let me hear from you by return

lliin (let Dividend.
COLUMBUS, Neb.. Feb. 3. (Special.) An
Interesting development In tho affairs of
John Tannahlll, fromerly of this place, camo
to light last wck when a deed was filed for
record transferring his homestead. Tan
nahlll disappeared from Columbus October
f, 1899, with charges of having forgod tho
names of several citizens to notes aggregat
ing J1.C00, and no trace of his whereabouts
had been secured until the filing of this
deed. Tho document bears tho slgnaturo of
Tannahlll and was acknowledged by a no-
tnry public In Pembina county, N. D., Sep
tember IS, 1000. Tho deed conveys tho Tan
nahlll homestead of thirty-three acros In
tho eastern part of town to Albert Stcngcr,
tho consideration being (3,000.
John Wise, a brother of Mrs. Tannahlll,
was hero a few dayB ago and affected n set
tlement with all of tho Judgment creditors,
they accepting 00 cents on tho dollar for
their claims and giving receipts In full.
Mrs. Tannahlll nnd young daughter left
with Mr Wise for Cedar Rapids, la., and
it Is a current supposition thnt they will
soon Join Mr. Tannahlll.
The place to which Tannahlll evidently
camo for tho special purpose of signing tho
deed Is so closo to tho Canada lino ns to In
dicate that ho Is probably not living In the
United States.
At the tlmo he left hero ho was president
of the Platto County Old Settlers' associa
tion, and tho news that he had forged the
names of Carl Kramer, H. B. Roed and
Phoebe J. Lawrence, friends who had pre
viously assisted him, and would no doubt
hnva done so again, was a bombshell In tho
community where for n quarter of a century
ho hnd held tho respect of everyone who
knew him.
Tho Judgment creditors some tlmo last
year attempted to have tho Tannahlll homo
sold In satisfaction of their claims, but Mrs,
Tannahlll beat them In tho district court on
tho grouno thnt sho hnd a homestead right
to the place.

The chemistry department Is crowded for
room and has again made application to
tho regents for greater accommodations for
thu storage of chemicals and supplies, It
has been tho wish and tho neod of tho de
partment for some tlmo that moro space
bo allowed them. Plans for the con
struction of n small room or vault on tho
cast oldo of tho laboratory, and connect
ing with tho building proper, havo been
drawn up for somo time. The Idea Is to
havo a place where the most dangerous
chemicals can be stored ns well as other
supplies which aro now Btowed away In tho
halls and In two rooms In the basement of
tho main bulldlnr. Within the Inst few
years wmo dangerous and disastrous fires
havo occurred In chemlcnl laboratories nnd
drug houses handling such lntlammablo nnd
explosive materials as aro now used and
stored In tho chemical laboratory. Should
n lira start In the building at the present
condition of tho storage .room the effects
would bo dl'l'.cult to estimate. On the
other hand, If this explosive matter could
be soparnted and kept apart from tho
building proper much less dnmngo In case
of flro would be done.
Tho llrst hundred copies of the Analytic
Geometry of Prof, A, L, Candy of tho
University of Nebraska wero received from
tho printer December 20. 1900. These wero
nearly all taken at onco by students In tho
university, who had been using the book
In the form of "advanco sheets ' since Oc
tober 1. Tho book was not ready for gen
eral distribution until January 1 and no
copies wero sent out for examination be
foro that dato. The first outside ordor was
given January 15. This was an order for
fifty copies from the University of Cali
fornia. This Is Indeed a high testimonial,
Prof. Irving Strlngham, head of the de
partment of mathematics. Is n man with
a national reputation. Ills prompt en
dorsement of Prof. Candy's work will
Clnco It ut onco In tho front rank of text
oaks on this subject. Ono of the chief fea
tures of this new book Is tho "correlation"
of algebra, trigonometry, analytic geome
try and calculus. This Is the subject that
was so admirably presented before the last
Nebraska Stnto Teachers' association by
Dr. Florlan Cajori of Colorado college.
This Idea has never beforo been elaborated
In any text book, of this grade, If this
plan meets with the approval of teachers
this work will mark the beginning of n
new era In mathematical text books. It Is
believed by those who are most competent
to Judgo that this method of presenting the
subject Is sure to prevail.

Wo object to tho nnssago of this measure:
First Because It will Impose Increased

Second Uecnuso It will create a new end
less chain upon tho gold reserve of tho

CUT PRODUCE COMMISSIONS

Delivery YViiuoim.
A change Is taking place In this city In
the method of handling farm products. Tho
commission chargo hero has always been
10 per cent, whllo In other metropolitan
cities It Is only G per cent. This dlfforonce
In tho commission chargo has resulted In
many goods being shipped to other markets
which should have como horo and has also
made the snmo quality ot goods bring more
money hero than In other markets. It Is
claimed that the exponslve way of handling
goods In Omaha has made tho extra charge
of 5 per cent necessary.
It Is now proposed to reduce tho oxpenio
by doing away with city salesmen and de
livery wagons. That will of course necessi
tate grocerymen going to the commission
houses with their own wugons and getting
tho goods, but by so doing they will save S
per cent.
Tho Produce exchange members have
been talking of making tho chango for
lome time, but they never succeeded lu
getting concerted action on the question,
and any change that may take place will
bo duo to Individual and not to united ac
tion. W. C. Rlddell hns announced that
after February 2 his city salesmen and de
livery wagons will bo discontinued. Whether
or not his example will be followed by
other commission men Is still a question ot
doubt.
THINKS SHE IS DESERTED

A comely young woman In n neat travel
ing gown entered the police station Sunday
afternoon nnd isked to see tho captain.
Sho was told that tho cnptaln wasn't In, so
told her story to three dotectlvcs and four
witnesses, who were being held to testify
In police court.
It was to tho effect that she hnd been
deserted by the man who hnd sworn to bo
tender nnd true. They were from Utlca,
Neb., and wero on their way to Seward to
bo married, Two hours beforo ho had loft
her In tho waiting room of tho Burling
ton station, under protonso of making n
brief tour of tho city, nnd was to have
Joined her at 1 o'clock, when thoy wero to
dluo togethor. Sho waited until 1, and then
until 2, and ho didn't come. It was then
that sho tnnde up her mind that sho had
been deserted.
"Did ho take tho satchel with him?"
asked Officer Rclglcmnn, who had ontorcd
In tlmo to hear the latter 'part ot tho
story.
"No. ho had checked that at tho depot."
"Then lot'B walk down that way." said
tho officer.
Five minutes Inter they entered tho wait
ing room, and thero sat tho bridegroom-
elect, the satchel besldo him.
Ho appeared nervous, Olarlni: first at the
officer and then at the girl ho demnuded of
tho latter;
"Whore on earth havo you been?"
"I went out to find you and cot lost."
she said, "and this policeman kindly of-
terea to oring mo back."
Thoy probably had a nuarrel about It
later, but ns thoy wero alono thoro Is no
report of It.

"This law not only asks for tho abolish

Thoro aro somo who bellevo that when

howovor, Insist thnt thero will bo' no final

Jeffries and tho party at his training
quarters came Into the city this evening
nnd talked matters over with tho promot
ers. Later tho champion and his party at
tended tho theater. Ruhltn nnd his asso
ciates remained nt tho Country club, which
Is qulto n dlslnnco from tho city. Thoy
had more visitors todny than usual, and
there was much agitation over the course
of the governor. Jeffries, Ruhlln, Mnrtln
nnd Chllda will continue their prnotlco work
tomorrow as usual and keep It up until
somo official declaration Is mado by tho
Sacngcrfest directors.
Anxiety nt Trnlninic ttunrtern.
CINCINNATI. Feb, 3,-Thcre has been
more anxiety than training at tho quortcrs
of Jeffries, Ruhlln. Mnrtln nnd Chllds to
day. It Is their custom to do less work on
Sundays than on other days nnd this gave
nn opportunity today for nnlmnted dis
cussion among tho pugilists, their trainers,
mnnngcrs and others over tho nctlon of
Governor N'nuh.
It Is now know to all the promoters of
tho light that Governor Nash has not only
given his ultimatum to tho fnengcrfest
Athletic club and over 1,000 petitioners from
tho business circles of Cincinnati, but he
hns also given Instructions to Prosecuting
Attorney Horrholmcr nnd Sheriff Taylor.
Tho latter received u long letter from tho
governor after midnight, by Immedlato de
livery messenger, nnd It Is n very strong
dopumcnt, In which his oxcollency directs
Sheriff Taylor to swear In nny number of
deputies and excrelso his fullest power to
prevent tho light nnd In tho event of the
sheriff needing assistance Oovernor Nnsh
pledges him tho full power of the stnte.
Tho prosecuting attorney nnd the shcrlfT
stato that they will not reply to the gov
ernor until tomorrow nnd that they will
then advise him that they will do their
duty nnd keep In communication with him
for any nsslstanco that may bo needed,
Tho otllclnl communications of Oovernor
Nash yosterdny were limited to county of
fleers. If ho has nny communlcAtlon with
tho municipal officers of Clnclnnntl it hos
been kept from the public. Tho four po
lice commissioners of Cincinnati are ap
pointed by the governor nnd not by tne
mayor and It Is conceded thnt tho wishes
of tho governor will bo followed by this
commission In orders to the entire police
force.
At tho same tlmo the rolntlons bctwein
Governor Nnsh and Mayor Flelschmann
aro most friendly and tt Is generally con
ceded that when the latter kept his prom
ise In Issuing a permit for the fight ho did
all that ho intended to do In connection
with the event, of February 13.- Whllo thore
hnvo "been Informal onfcrcnccs today be
tween members of the S.iengerfest Athletic
nssoctntlnn nnd their attorneys nnd other
promoters of tho tight It Is nnnounced that
there will be no formal meeting of the
Sncngcrfost Athletic directors and thoir
counselors until tomorrow afternoon.
It Is generally believed that It will then
be decided to tnko no notion In tho caso
until tho application for an Injunction Is
henrd beforo Judgo llolllstor on Tuesday.
At that time It Is understood that Gov
ernor Nash will bo ronrcsented hero In
tho courts by Attorney General Sheets nnd
that both sides will abide by thn decision
without further appeal to tho circuit or
supremo court. Judge llolllstor .may re
servo his decision for n day or two, so
that the ?nrngorfcst Athletic directors nro
not likely to makn nnv otllclnl declaration
nbout declaring the 11 n lit off it to the
continry until the mlddlo or tho latter part
of the week.
The hearing of Jeffries nnd Ruhlln, who
wero arrested a week ngo on the chnrgo of
training for a prlzo tight, hns been post
poned for ono week on nccount of the in
junction enso beforo Judgo llolllstcr. All
the other litigation has also been postponed
nnd none of It will ever bo heard of If
Judgo llolllstor grants a permanent Injunc
tion. In tho event of Judge llolllstcr refusing
the application far an Injunction II Is un
derstood that Attorney Oenernl ShcctB, for
the governor, will opernto with Prosecuting
Attorney Haffhclmcr to havo tho pugilistic
contestants arraigned before some Judgo
of the common pleas court instead of
Hqulro Rocbllng or nny other local magis
trate. NASH GIVES HIS REASON

COLUMBUS. O.. Feb. 3.-Govemor Nash
today mndo tho llrst publlo statement of
his position with regard to tho proposed
Jeffrles-Ruhlln light nt Clnclnnntl nnd tho
grounds upon which his determination to
prevent the fight taking pine In Ohio Is
based. The stntement Is contnlned In n let
ter prepared nnd mailed this afternoon In
reply to n petition from the John t'. K.
Roth Packing company and l.noo other citi
zens of Clnclnnntl protesting ngnlnst Inter
ference with tho light. Governor Nash
says In his letter that ho fears the peti
tioners havo been misled bv erroneous legal
ndvlco. Unquotes tho law relating to
prlzo lighting and boxing contests and
Bays;
'The proviso upon which you rely reads
ns follows: 'Provided, that nothlnt: In tho
foregoing shall apply to any publlo gym
nasium or athletic club or any of the exer
cises therein, If written permission for the
specific purpose shall llrst havo been ob
tained from tho sheriff Of the county, or. If
tho exerelses or exhibition nro held within
tho limits of a municipal corporation, of
the mayor of the corporation.'
"Tho proviso only covers exercises
among the members of the clubs or exhibi
tions In which members only tako part.
Kvon It my Interpretation Is too strict It
does not authorize tho bringing together of
noted lighters and the offering of a largo
prlzo to tho ono who prevails over tho
other.
"Again, tho Snengcrfest Association com
pany of Cincinnati nnd tho exhibit which It
proposes to glvo is not such nn association
and not such a contest ns Is contemplated
by section tViOO.
As I underslnnd It the contest between
Jeffries and Ruhlln wan arranged for by
a lawyer by tho nnino of Wltte beforo the
nssnclntlon even had a legnl existence. It
has no gymmiblum or hnll for nthlctlc pur
poses, no distinct membership nnd none of
the paraphernalia of nn athletic club. It
was organized simply for tho purpose of
dodging the law and bringing off a contest
between thu two fighters. Tho law cannot
and will not be trilled with In this man
ner. I earnestly nsk you to look nt tho
law as I have explained It nnd I think you
you will conclude with mo thnt you have
been misled. As I hnvo already 3.ild to you
in a telegram I am tlrmlv convinced thut
this affair. If It comes off, will bo a prlzo
IlKht."
Stating his reasons for bollovlng that tho
alleged glove contest Is to bo a prlzo fight
thn governor refers to the moving plctura
contract, which statos that the profits to be
derived from those pictures shall bo di
vided equally between the association nnd
tho "fighter or fighters," Continuing he
saysi
The winner of the contest Is offered a
larger prize, by thousands of dollars, than
tho loser. This will cause them to strike
not only skillful but hard blows, You say
that your mayor nnd your splendid police
force will bo on hnud and neo thnt the law
Is not violated, You exprefcs confidence In
thn Integrity nnd ability of the mayor, of
the police commissioners nnd of your po
licemen. In this feeling I fully share. But
1 am confident that tho affair will be be
yond their control, If they do their best
Thh fight will bo very Intense Tho vnst
multitude ot people, gathered from distant
stntcs and cities, nt least If not possessing
the highest order of citizenship, will bo
terribly excited. Such men would broo-: no
Interference, they will have no control over
themselves, your police will be overpowered
nnd your city will be visited with dlsgrnce
which you will regret nn long as you live.
Such fenrful risks must not be taKcn."
