LINCOLN', Juno 5. (Special.) FuMonlsts
who nn criticising Treasurer Stucfcr for
allowing the uninvested portion of the
str.te school fund to Increase cither forget
or Intentionally conceal the Important fact
thr.t the receipts of this fund during the
lust five months were unprecedented In
the history of the state. Since Mr. Stuefer
assumed charge of tho stato'c llnnncos
more money belonging to the permanent
school fund lian been Invested In lntorcst
Learinr; bonds than during any correspond
Inrc period In former years. But tho re
ceipts hae also been .ir greater and con
stqucntly the unexpended balonco shows
no material decrease,
During the first fHe months of last year
Mr, Mcsrrve, the fusion state treasurer.
Invested ;23.',338.S3,of the permanent school
fund. During the same period this year
Mr. Stuefer has. Invested $3:0,315.05 of per
manent school money. This single com
parison shows that tho Investments mtyle
by tho treasurer this year were $133,206.52
prco'.cr than the Investments made by Mr.
Mservo last year Just prior to the cam
paign and when every effort was exerted
to make ns good a showing as posslhlo.
The decrease In receipts over last year
Is ?2aS,0i8.6ri, and the fact that this Item
(xoociIh tho Increase In Investments
prompts ths fuslonlnta to assert that the
Investments made by Mr. Stuefer were not
as great In proportion to tho deposits as
woto those made by Mr, Mesorve. Tho
nrsumrnt cf this Is that when the un
invested portion of the fund Increases tho
supply of s&etirltlis should aleo Increase,
or In other words, that It should be much
easier io llnd securities of the kind pre
scribed by Ihw when the balance nf tho
fund In high thiin when It Is low. This Is
HoWthltiE new In the way of argument,
but It Irf being usul with great energy
by the rtislonliits. .
Hut tho insertions that tho uninvested
portion of tho school fund Is larger than
n year figo are absolutely false. Yesterday
the balauco of tho school fund was $101.
.f07.o. On Juno 1 1000, under the admin
istration of Mr. Mor.erve, tho balat'.tjo In
the same fund was $224,978.41.
TrriiHiircr'M lti'nwt " 1 f.
Tho unprecedented Increaso In lecelpta
is also shown by the semi-annual report
nf tho treasurer. The b.iloncc of all funds
on .May 31 was $S6ii.22r r.d on December
., MOO, the total was $607,878. Notwlth
itMidlng this Increase tho disbursements
Ouiing the period were nbovo normal, but
this peculiar condition Is accounted for
by the hfcavy Increase In collections.

Governor Savage this afternoon Issued a
proclamation restoring Julius Llmbach of
Douglas county to full tights of citizenship.
Llmbach. when only 17 years of age, was
senl to the state penitentiary to servo two
one-year terms for forgery. At tho cxp.r
ntlon of hla first term he was released on a
writ of habeas icrrus and the supreme court
subsequently held that tho trial court had
exceeded Its Jurisdiction when It Imposed
tho second sentence. Taking Into consider
atlon this fact and the ago of the boy when
ho was convicted tho governor ngrced to
l88iio a pardon, which will now have no
other effect than that of restoring him to
full civil rights.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, June 5. (Special.) "We, tho
Jury, duly empaneled and sworn, find that
Mabel II, Walker came to her death by
poison and, from the best Information ob
tainable by the Jury, administered by her
own hands and for causes unknown to
thn Jury."
This Is the verdict reached today by
the coroner's Jury in the Inquest resulting
from tho suicide of Mrs. Walker and tho
attempted suicide of J. Albert Brink. The
decision was reached after much argument
among tho Jurors, caused by tho rofusal
of Juryman H. S. Bell to agree that tho
woman had come to her death by poison
sclf-admlnlstered. He said he had a con
science to stltl and that Impelled him to
decline to say positively on the evidence
presented to the Jury that she adminis
tered the poison herself. Brink did not
know; he had already taken It. Cleve
land was the only man who swore that
he had seen her take the poison, argued
Mr. Bell, and he seemed to think that
there was a lot of mystery attached to the
relations between this woman and the
male boarders about the hotel.
As a compromise the saving phrase,
"and from the best Information obtain
able by tho Jury," was Inserted and Mr.
Bell signed after all of the others had
affixed their signatures.
During tho morning Miss Ivy Duncan
was examined. She was In tho Llndell
pharmacy when Brink and Mrs. Walkor
were there, and she related her observa
tions of the two. She said tho two acted
83 If they were good friends.
Brink was again called to tho stand nnd
rehearsed the conversation between him
self and the woman previous to the taking
of cocaine by both.
Ilrlnk Sna He Win Ilrsperntc.
"Mr. Brink," asked County Attorney
Caldwell, "what led you to take the pot-
son? Was it Infatuation or desperation?
"Desperation, sir," he replied, with dra
matic emphasis. "I don't suppose 1 can
make you men, who have never been
through a thing llko this, understand Just
how I was wrought up, Just how 1 felt.
For days she had been talking of killing
herself, telling of poison she had and ways
open to ending it all. All this had its
Impression upon me; It worked mo up. 1
had been watching her for days; I had
sent her once or twlco to see her hus
band out of town; I had hoped that he
would come and tako her away; I wanted
to go away myself; I wanted to avoid her
killing herself.
"I don't know why I swallowed the poi
son when I did. I seemed Just then to
caro for nothing. I had become convinced
she was going to kill herself and I thought
that If sho was bound to do It I'would get
away first.
"When I took the cocaine off tho drug
store shelf I had then no Intention of tak
ing my life. I thought that If I could give
her tho Impression that If she would not
stop talking suicide I would follow her
example that It would make her see the
seriousness of It and stop It.
"It was desperation that 'at last drove
me to take the stuff. She had told me
that she had poison, both liquid and dry,
ic her room, and a raror so-sharp that at
ono sweep of her arm she could cut hei
throat."
"What motive, Mr. Brink." ho was asked,
"did she give for her acts and her talk?"
"Sho never gave me any reason why. Sho
would never tell why. She told mo a hun
dred times If sho has told me once, 'You
don't understand, you couldn't" under
stand.' "
"Was It Infatuation for you, do you
think?" asked Mr. Caldwell.
Anylnm or Denth.
"No," he ropllsd slowly. "I don't think
It was Infatuation for me. She was not
despondent. In fact she had often told me
that the sun had never set on the day that
knew her. despondent. Tho second day after
I met her we were out driving past the
asylum. Looking up at tho building, sho
(aid: 'Inside of a year I'll cither bo In my
grave or In a place llko that.' "
"When you found out her disposition why
didn't you Just step away, release yourself,
get away?" asked Caldwell.
"It did no good," replied Brink. "Every
tlmo I spoko of going away sho told mo that
would only bring her end the quicker."
"What do you know of her" relations with
her husband?" he was asked.
"Sho told mo little. She said she had
known Walker only twenty days when she
had married him. They had parted several
times during their married life and she had
gone back to him. Tho last time thoy wore
reunited was In Sioux City on their anni
versary, the 29th of tho previous month.

Silent Sufferers
West Ubinon, Ind., March 28, 1900.
I have suffered for yean with female trouble and have had five of the best doeton In
the country, but found no relief until I tried your Wine of Csrdul, which his done wonders
for me. I will gladly recommend it to any lady. I ewe my gratitude (o your ood
medicine. EMMA JOHNSON.
It is astonishing how many apparently healthy women there are who suffer
in secret. Even thdtr nearest friends do not know how little life means to them. If
you are a silent sufferer Miss Johnson's testimonial should be full of encouragement
for you. Her case ran along for years, before she took Wine of Cardui. But she
soon secured relief from those terrible dragging pains which were saddening her
life. Miss Davis waited ten years before taking
WlNEo'CARDW
which made her "feel like a new woman". Female suffering is playing havoc
with women, making them faded and old before their time. It will do that for
you if you don't stop the trouble. Why do you suffer another day ? Your pain l unnecessary.
Delay invites dangerous complications which soon become incurable. Ask your druggist for a $1.00
bottle of Wine of Cardui and secure complete relief by taking it in the privacy of your own home.
Robbenon, Ind. Tcr., Mir. 23, 1900.
I have been In bad health for about ten years and consulted with doctors but they did me no good. After
iuln two bottles of Wine of Cardui and two packages of Thedford'i Black-Draaght I feel like a new woman.
