has no right to refund any of the foes
paid by Insurance companies during the
administration of Eugene Moore. The com
pany Insisted that the $9,000 of fees paid
Into the treasury by Moore should be cred
ited to the companies which paid fees first.
Auditor Weston thought the amount should
be apportioned pro rata among the various
companies, without respect to the order In
which payment was made.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Oct. 29. (Special.) Rep-
rmentatlve J. W. Armstrong of Auburn de.'
dared whllo In Lincoln todaythat the re
publicans would undoubtedly carry Nemaha
county at the forthcoming election for both
tho state and county tickets.
"There has been a marked change In the
conditions In Nemaha county since the last
state election," said Mr. Armstrong, "and
everything points to the success of all tho
republican nominees. There are several
reasons for this. In tho first place, the
farmers and business men are satisfied.
Tho former had fair crops and the latter
are enjoying good business. In the second
place, there Is decided opposition In tho
populist ranks to the fusion arrangement.
Tho democrats and populists united on
nominees, but among the rank and file of
the fusion voters signs of discord aro
everywhere notable. Then tho socialist
ticket will take some votes away from the
fusion nominees. The socialist convention
In Nemaha ccunty was attended by forty
men and It Is conservatively estimated that
the vote for the ticket will not be less than
100. That Is not a large number, but It
means a loss of that many votes to the
fuslonltts, for all of the socialist votes will
come either from the democratic or popu
list parties.
"Last year Nemaha county was pretty
evenly divided politically, but five years
ago everything went democratic or fusion
Dry an carried the county by over 400 and
tho remainder of tho ticket received about
the same nvcrage majority. Last year the
McKlnley electors got a majority of five
votes."
Colfax Promises Itererisl.
In Colfax, county the republicans expect
to glvo majorities to all of the republican
it t a to candidates and at least half of the
party's nominees on the state ticket. In
.past years the fuslonlsts have outnumbered
the republicans In that county, but since
tho beginning of the campaign many
changes have been reported and it Is con
fldently predicted that the election will
show a complete reversal of conditions.
"Tho fusion majority was reduced 200
votes at the last election," cald J. O. Berk
Icy of Schuyler, who was Ip Lincoln today.
"That was a good beginning and we expect
this year to Wipe out the remainder and
place tho county back again In the repub
Ucan column. In the populist ranks there
appears (o be widespread dissatisfaction
with fusion and many of the old-time work
ers are going back to tho republican party,
The conventions fused on an entire ticket
but tho harmony of that action is not to be
found among the fusion voters at large."
New Ilnllot I.nw.
"Every election officer In the elate should
be supplied with a copy of the new ballot
law and each one will be It the county
clerks do their duty."
This was the statemont of Frank McCart
ney, deputy In the office of the secretary of
r.tate. It Had been charged that the
copies of the new law to be distributed to
the local election officers had not been sent
out according to the directions of the stat
utes and in several counties no supplies
would be forthcoming.
"The mistake was probably made," con
tlnued Mr. McCartney, "because this office
has discontinued the practice of the -fu
slonlsts In making a free distribution of
tho session laws, statutes and copies of tho
election laws to the rank and file of th
party. Nowadays republican lawyera.have
to buy their copies of the statutes; we do
not glvo them away. The election laws
were printed and sent out to the cpuntv
clerks. Of course when people applied here
for them wo did not have any for the reason
that the required number had been placed
In the hands of the proper parties."
lleqnUltlnn far Mnmnret Johnson.
Governor Savage today honored a requisi
tion from Illinois for Margaret Johnson,
alias Elvira Dodson, now under arrest In
Omaha. She was convicted of robbery In
Illinois and sentenced to the penitentiary.
She was paroled from that Institution and a
few day after being released came to Ne
braska. George Arnold Released.
"I'd sooner spend a year In tho peniten
tiary than two months In your old Jail."
said George Arnold, ex-convict, last night
when released from the city Jail after being
In since Auguit 28. He was arrested two
months ago under suspicion that be knew
something of the Olllllan murder. He was
questioned, cross-questioned and sent

to Collect Orlando Caalcr
Judgment.

When Orlando Caster was sentenced to be
hanged by the district court of this county
on February 6, 1879, for the murder of G. L.
Monroe, a Judgment was also rendered
against him for the costs In the case, which
amounted to $1,190.68. This has never been
paid and when a map was made of the
county a short time ago It was discovered
that there were eighty acres of land In L
precinct In the murderer's name. Casler
had entered it as a homestead, although
the records do not show that he ever com
pteted the filing of his papers. After he
was hanged his widow married J. W. Man
ley, who has paid the taxes ever since, but
his whereabouts are now unknown. The
county has now commenced proceedings to
collect the old Judgment and the land is
advertised to be sold at sheriff's sale on
November 19. The Interest on the Judg
ment amounts to more than $1,800 at the
present time The land Is said to be rough,
but was appraised for $2,400 and will prob
ably sell tor about that amount.

Seward county from Kansas and fell In

banks of the Blue, July 7, and the crime
was committed that night, the murdered
man's body being thrown Into the river,
where It was found a day or so later. Cas
ter's arrest and conviction followed and he

Writes from South Africa.
ASHLAND. Neb., Oct. 29. (Special.)
William A. Fowler of Ashland received an
other letter Monday from his aont Shelby
Arthur Fowler. The young man, who la
Just past 21 years old, left Ashland Feb
ruary 28 last and went to St. Louis, where,
with W. E. C. Becker, also of thla city, he
went to New Orleans April 15 and boarded
the Brltlshraasport Monterey enroute to
South Africa! an account of which appeared
in The Bee of July 12. With a draft for
16 from the paymaster, word was re
ceived by Fowler's father a few days ago
that he waa serving In the British army.
Shelby A. Fowler Is probably the only Ne
braska boy who Is enlisted In the British
army In South Africa. An Illustration of
the fact that the British government does
not consider the war in South Africa fin
ished may be cited In Trooper Fowler's
statement tnat inducements were being
offered for a three years' service, a bonus
of 1,000 In addition to the regular pay,

the front ranks. I have never know
