Kxplalnlng bis opprovul of tbo osteopathy
bill, Governor Dietrich said: "Whether
or not it Is beneficial to humanity to di
versify tho manner of treatment of
corporeal Ills is n question upon which
t ero Is a wldo and conflicting difference
of opinion. Tho old schools havo their
votaries, so havo tho osteopaths and so
havo tho Christian Scientists. Indeed, tho
spcctaclo la Impressively analogous to
that of tho money question. Tho green
back currency, like Christian Sclcnco is
basod on faith. Tho silver, useful for
subsidiary purposes, llko osteopathy, has
a ratio value, and tho old schools llko tho
gold standard Is after all thebasis which
must support and carry the superstructure
and bo tho dominant factor."
Among other bills approved by Gov
ernor Dietrich . today was senate tllo No.
54, being an net relating to and regulating
bonds of publta officers. Tho bill was
championed by Dr. Lymaa, a member of tho
legislature from Adams county. After
fixing tho amount of bonds tho bill pro
vldcs that tho authorities whoso duty Is to
approve bonds of the county officials, may
dispense with such bonds If in their Judg
ment they shall deem It best to do so
This provision favorably impressed Gov
ernor Dietrich, who is opposed to tho
i.ondlng of public officials.

LINCOLN, April 1. (Special Telegram.)
Lieutenant (lovernor Savage today com
plcted his duties as presiding officer of tho
seuato and Thursday bo will return to hlB
homo In Sargent, Custer county. Tomor
row ho will go to South Omaha to attend n
banquet to bo given In his honor by the
coramcrclnl club of that city.
As to tho work of tho assembly, Speaker
Rears, after adjournment this morning,
said
"Tho Twenty-seventh legislature labored
under great difficulties and encountered
many serious obstncles, but nevertheless It
performed Its work well and deserves credit
for so doing. Tho members of tho majority
nnd minority sides held nightly caucuses,
but they did not neglect the work of tho
session. All tho mombcrs wero ready at
all times to attend to committee and other
work, and I think I am safe In saying that
moro was accomplished than In any other
assembly for several ytarB past, notwith
standing the session was u short one.
"Tho early adjournment, forced by a few
republicans desiring to defeat the election
of a certain candidato for United States
senator, nnd tho fuslonlsts Joining with
them, hoping to prevent tho election of nny
candidate, made It necessary to rush a
few measures without giving them noces
sary consideration. Less tlmo was spent
on the thrco appropriation bills, calling
for an expenditure of over $2,000,000 of
stnto funds, than on the game bill alone,
which enma up In tho houso during the
early days of tho session.
"On the whole, I think our deliberations
hnvo been harmonious and fren from the
personalities sometimes Indulged In. While
somo of tho mcmbors mny hnvo differed
from each other on u few things, they nev
ertheless treated each other courteously,
both those of tho majority and minority, rc
gordlcss of party. In fact, very little of tho
partisan spirit was shown at any 'tlmo In
tho session."
Hrei'ftiu-)- McKi'iiir Kntiniiite.
J. C. I- McKesson, secretary of the
senate and former senator from Lancaster
county for several terms, compared the
Twenty-seventh assembly with former leg
lslntutes, and said: ''While the legtsla
luro may havo fallen short In a few re
spects, It accomplished a great deal. More
than tho usual number of bills were passed
but many of theso wero curntlvo to errors
In tho statutes nnd can liardly bo called
new laws. Tho fire nt tho penitentiary
transportation of the First regiment from
Snn Francisco to Nebraska and tho largo
deficiencies swelled tho appropriations
but notwithstanding this they aro no hlghe
than thoso made by several legislatures
In recent years. Tho senato and houso
wero reprsentatlve bodies of men and con
sldcrably above tho usual standard." "
Tho expenses of tho legislature, Including
salaries of olllcers and employes, wero
about $12,000 less than two years ago
when the entire appropriation of $130,000
was consumed. This yenr $133,000 was np
proprlated, but $15,000 of tho amount was
for rccarpotlng and rcpaperlng tho legls
latlvo halls and committee rooms and ;
lot of worthless Stationery and supplies
ordered by tho popocratlo secretary o
stato before the session began.
Total f Aiinroiirlnllnn
Tho total of nil appropriations made Is
approximately $3,000,000, which includes the
emergency appropriations for rebuilding
tho stato penitentiary, for reimbursing per
sons who mlvnnccd money for tho trans
portation of tne First regiment nnd for
taking up tho deficiency claims arising
from tho i-xtrnvagant management of state
Institutions' by tho popocratlc administra
tion. The State Historical society was
given nn Increase from $5,000 to $10,000, an
Qllownnco of $1,000 wns made for the travel
Ing libraries and tho new supremo court
commission necessitated nn appropriation
of $15,000. In addition to theso the legis

American brain workers Imvo for some

or woman who cares to rnako a test by
using, this food, Qrapo-Nuts, for a portion
of one .or two meals each day will find a

In brain power.
Then, If they feel disposed to know tho
reason why, they can havo Grapo-Nuts

tho food contains tho natural phosphate
of potash obtalued In a natural way from
tho cereals, and albumen obtained the aamo

Theso two element unite together In
the human body to Bike and rebuild the

Tlie food, Grape-Nuts, Is not only tbo most

thf' Water.
Tho report of tho arrest of an nrmy offi
cer, of commissary sor'geants nnd civilian
clerks, together with several prominent
business men of Manila, did not fall with
tho effect of a clop of thunder from n clear
sky at tho headquarters of the Department
of tho Missouri, for stories havo been per
colating through official and clerical strata
of army life for some time In reference
to Irregularities nt the commissary depot
nt Manila, nnd in somo cases charges hnvo
been made In a general way, Involving no
particular cfflcer, to tho effect that men
In the depot nt Mnnlln were feathering their
own nests nt tho expense of tho govern
ment. Tho strnlghtcst story In regard to tho
matter wns told by an oftlcer who re
turned front the Philippines Home
tlmo ago and who Is now In Washington
awaiting retirement. In conversation with
a number of piTfons nt nrmy headquarters
n short tlmn after his return he snld In
substance:
"Somebody Is making hlmtclt rich nt the
expenso of tho government In Manila, and
It Is being dona In h way which will make
It difficult to bring tho chargeB home, and
for that reason thoso who nro In a position
to be morally certain of tho facts arc re
maining quiet, as they do not want to be
Involved In n scandal where they mny And
It Impossible to produce legal evidence
when cases against the parties Involved
might como to trial.
liny In n llnn.T-J- TIiIiik.
"According to official reports there Is
tnoro United States property nt tho bottom
of Manila bay than has ever been lost In
the water, nnd If a closo Inspection wero
made I hnvo no doubt that much of this
piopcrty could be found stored In tho town
of Manila. As far as I could learn while
on tho island tho method of proceeding In
case, where nn officer or other person In
chargo of stores desires to accumulate a
little property of tho government Is as fol
lows: The harbor at Manila Is of such a
nature that transports cannot como to the
piers to unload and tho merchandise con
signed to the nrmy Is taken off In lighters,
called cascocs by the natives. A casco will
hold nbout 4,000 pounds of freight. Tho
stores aro nil marked and when passed over
the sldo of the vessel tho bill of lading or
llBt of stores Is checked by a clerk In
chargo and on delivery nt the pier It is re
ceipted for. While on tho way from the
suoro to tho ship nn empty rasco Is over
turned. Tho next trip it makes to shore
Its load Is delivered not to tho officer In
chargo of the commissary supplies, but at
another pier and the officer or other per
son on tho boat tnnkes a report of the tin
letting of the casco with tho stores on
board. This report pastes through official
bands nnd tho commissary oinccr Is re
lieved of responsibility on account of the
loss of property which did not occur by tho
overturning of tho casco.
l.lchteri Are Orerlnmled.
"Tills method Is followed In many In
stances, hut is not the only one whero Ir
regular work Is corrected by tho sinking
anu overturning of lighters. A lighter will
hold about 4,000 pounds, but nn Inspection
or the reporttrof tho boards of survey,
which havo Relieved officers of responsi
bility for loss, will show that In many cases
the boards have reported ns high as 40,000
pounds of property lost by tho founder
ing of a single casco. Where this property
is no ono knovs and who is being bene
fited by tho loss no one can tell."
Speaking yesterday of tho matter of
tho nrrcsts one of the clerks at headquar
ters, who has been In tho Philippines,
said:
"Thero is no doubt thnt persons on tho
Island who havo had any connection with
tho commissary nnd quartermaster's de
partments know that many Irregularities
exist In theso departments und they fur
ther know thnt It is practically Impossible
that it should be otherwise under existing
conditions, even though every man In con
nection with the handling of provisions
should bo perfectly honest. Take
tho caso of Major A. C. Dovol,
recently relieved as quartermaster of
ono of tho departments. When orders
enmo for his transfer ho found that ho wns
short of supplies nnd property valued nt
nbout $300,000. Mules and wagons which
hnd been consigned to hfin were unac
counted for, nnd ho instituted Inquiry ns to
their whoreabouts. Ho found that many of
theso had been sent with supplies to head
quarters of one of tho army corps and wont
out there to Investigate. The general In
command stated that he had n number of
mules moro than ho was charged with, and
turned about forty animals nnd many wag
ons back to tho quartermaster. Theso had
accumulated at headquarters of tho corps
by being sent out there nnd not giving the
teamsters orders to return. Tho men wen
pressed Into service by tho general and
the property was safely kept at headquar
ters. After going through tbo department
the apparent, shortage was reduced to :i
email amount nnd the quartormaster was
relieved of responsibility on account of tho
loss, as he showed that It was made In spito
of the exercise of the greatest care.
How (lie linker Klauri'it.
"Now, in referenco to tho arrest of sev
eral bakers. I can sco how they might bo
arrested nnd still bo guiltless, although ap
pearances might be against them. The oin
cers nnd civilian clerks In tho army service
nt Manila nro given permission to buy sup
plies from the commissary nt cost. This
was of great advmtago to us. While na
tive beef was selling over the butcher's
block In Manila for 75 cents a pound we
bought good fresh beef at 5 nnd 0 cents a
pound.- Flour which sold nt $5 a hundred
was bought by us for $1.90, with all other
provisions In proportion.
"A number of tho civilian clerks In tho
general commissary department, with nbout
fifty In tho depot commissary office, formed
a mess and hired a cook to prepare meals.
It Is a hard matter to get a good cook over
there, especially ono who understands how
to handlo American flour. For some time
our bread was nbomlnable nnd wo cast
about for means to Improvo It. We finally
found a baker named Clark, who was a
good workman, and with him we mndo ar
rangements whereby ho was to glvo us 100,
loaves of bread for each 100 pounds of
flour we delivered to him, ho taking for his
remuneration the flour left In the sack after
the 100 loaves were made. Ho stated that
he ooiild make 140 loaves from 100 pounds
of flour, so he made nbout $S for his work
on the flour, bread selling at that tlmo for
15 cents a loaf on the opon market, and we
got our bread for less than 2 cents a loaf.
Now, If Clark Is among the bakers arrested,
I expect that those who made the arrest
fond several sacks of commissary flour lu
his possosslon, ns tho mess bought the flour
from the government and delivered it to
him. Thero was no complaint about tho
piactlcc. and the United Stntcs lost nothing,
for, as we had no losses In tho making of
bread by this tystem, we used less flour
thnn wo would ordinarily have done, where
panful after panful would bo thrown away
hs unfit for food.
"I expect that while somo stealing may
he found and many Irregularities uncovered,
much of tho alleged crookedness will be
found to grov out of practices olinllar to
the foregoing."

It Is beginning to bo suspected that the

EIGHTEEN YEARS FOR TILLER

Papers for the transfer of Prentice

received h;re yostcrday and this morn
ing tho much wanted mall box robber will
bo taken to Cincinnati In charge of two
deputy United States marshals from tho
Omaha office.
Yesterday a representative of tho
Plnkerton dctcctlvo agency and Postofflco
Inspector Sinclair bold a long conference
In regard to tho disposition of Tiller. Tho
Plnkerton operative Bald that Tiller was
not wanted by them nt present on any
specific charge, but that tho agency de
sired to keep him out of mischief, thnt the
head of the concern wus convinced that the
only way to do this would be to keep him
In Jail and that In protection to the banks
of tho country thoy deslrod to ndopt the
plan which would keep him behind tho bars
tho longest time. For this reason ho
thought probably that tho best plan would
be to tako him to Hastings for trial under
the Nebraska laws for forgery In raising
tho bills of the Ohio bank nnd after ho hnd
served a term for this offenso tho United
States could take chargo of him.
Tho postofflco Inspector said he had ro
celvod word from tho inspector at Cincin
nati to tho effoct that the government
could not fall In its caso In that city nnd
that as soon ns ho had served his time on
this chargo ho would be taken to Mem
phis to answer for a similar offenso. From
thero ho would go to Poorln and from thero
to somo other place. It has been estimated
that If tho government ran sccuro con
victions and sentences for tho avernge
period of tlmo customary lu such cases
they can occupy tho tlmo of Tiller for
eighteen yenrs nt least nnd then they will
bo ready to turn him over to tho stato of
Nebraska.
