Treasurer H. Koch .says regarding the
transaction: "Mr. Ncllgli at first proposed
that tho new bonds lie 'delivered to him at
Lincoln, but an tho, clerk and 1 were de.
slrous of saving the county nny expenso we.
could, We Insisted that tho bonds bo taken
by him' at West Point. Thcro was some,
difference, of opinion ai to whose duty H
wan to d'ollvcr tho bond, no tho clerk and
myself decided that wn would Jointly de
liver them and recclvo payment. Mr.
Xellfth camo for the bonds on Mny IS of this
year. Ho brought with hlra J5G.000 worth
of the. old bonds, which were to be refunded,
and wo accepted them In exchange, dollr
for dollar. Tho $300 premium which ha
agreed to pay on tho bonds was paid,
$267.32 in cash, nnd tho rcmnlndcr Is ac
counted for by tho dlfTcrenro In Interest
bptween tho two seta of bonds from April
1 to May lti, tho old onon drawing a higher

An examination of the bonds shown that
they have been stnmpod on tho face as

following: "This bond belongs to tho per

Tho new bonds had been entered for rec

Investigation at the statohouso at Lin
coln has brought out the fnct that thoso
I55.00Q Of Cuming county refunding bonds
were bought for tho school fund on the basin
of a 3,4 per cent Investment undpr tho
name:of an exchange. In other words the
state sold Its holding of tho old Issue, of,
nonas Dearing ft per cent jnterestjor tho
new 4 per cent issue with Intercut, coupons
deducted to reduco the Incomo to 34 p,cr
cent. Tbeso coupons wero evidently given
oor to Nellgh and retained by him as his
sharo in the deal. Just how many Interest
coupons wern laken Treasurer Stuefer has
not yet disclosed, -but If figured as equal to
one-half of 1 per rent for the wholo len
years It would bo $2,750. nnd doductlng tho
1267 premium paid tho county In cash
would leayo Nellgh's profit nearly $2,500.
If computed for an average of flvo years tho
bonds would have to run It would, of course,
be half that nmount. Tho records at Lin.
coin glvo May 15 as tho dnto when tho
bonds were bought for the state.
How Nellgh should hava gotton posses
sion of tho bonds belonging to the state
school futid boforo tho now Issua was oven
delivered to hlra, much less turned over to
the state, has not been explained.

Is no such tlrm of bond brokers known as
"Charles 3. Kidder & Co. of Chicago." At
any rate, no sueh firm Is listed In the rating
books of tho commercial agencies and the
representatives of established bond brokers
and banks say they never heard of them.
Tho firm seems to have' been Improvised for
this particular deal and to bavo worked so
successfully here that the cover was dis
carded In tho Burt county transaction, In
which Nellgh pretended to bo acting In his

In Jtlly. For sometime prior to July I had
known that thoo bonds were to be Issued
and had talked the matter over with Hurt
county people and had verbally agreed .to
take tho bonds nt 3',4 per cent interest. In

subsequently Issued bearing 3i per cent

Tho cause exists in tho blood, in

It ia therefore impossible to euro

It U positively dangerous to neg

the stomuch and deranges tho
general health, and is likely to
dovelop into consumption.
Many have been radically' and permanently
cured by Hood's gariaparilla. It eleanie tha

permanent funds. Mr. W. T. S. Nellgh,
who lives at West Point nnd who has long
been a heavy dealer In bonds, went to Te
kamah and bid on theso bonds. I knew
at the time absolutely nothing about Mr.
Nellgh's connection with the matter. lie
subsequently wrote to me offering to sell
me the bonds at a certain figure, nnd that
was tho first knowledge I "had that the
bonds were In his' possession,
"Tho chargo was made that when Nellgh
went to Tekamah he had my personal
chock for $1,000. 'That chargo Is abso
lutely false; he did not have my check for
$1,000, or any other amount whatever,
cither against my personal account or
ngalnst state funds. I positively deny any
knowledge of the transaction whatever
prior to the receipt of Nellgh's letter of
fering me tho bonds.
NoIIrIi Mmlr Offer l'lrl.
"Tho above mentioned letter was pub
lished In The Dee last Saturday. In that
letter Nellgh offers rno the bonds on n
basis of 3V per cent. I finally purchased
the bonds, but made better terms for the
stain than Nellgh originally offered that
Is, I purchased the bonds on a basis that
secured to tho state $550 morn than would
have been realized had 1 accepted Nellgh's
original offer. That does not look as
though there was a conspiracy between
Nellgh nnd myself to bleed the funds of
tho state for our own benefit.
"Tho faco value of the bonds Is $0,000,
I paid that nmount for them out of the
permanent funds, and that Is every cent I
did pay out of state funds In this transac
tlon, as may be seen from, the records In
my office and In tho auditor's office. When
tho bonds were delivered to me- Interest
coupon's amounting to f 3,450 were detached
In my presence nnd delivered to Nellgh.
Thin reduced tho bonds to the basis agreed
upou. Tho chargo that I paid $84,000 for
the bonds, the $4,000 going to Nellgh as a
fcohus, Is false. These bonds cost tbo 'state
In cash $80,Q00 nndno more. When the
Donna were fieuveroa jo me Aengn got in
terest1' coupons" amounting IH $3,l."0, and
thnt Is all he did get. Tho .result of tbe
wholo transaction Is that I paid $80,000
from the permanent fund of the state and
the state now has In lieu thereof bonds to
tho amount of $80,000 on which will be
realized something' better than 3i per cent
Interest. Tho bonds bear on their faco in
terest at the rate of 3 per cent, but the
coupons retained by Nellgh reduced the
Interest that the state will rcallzo to
llttlo moro than 3U per cent.
Denies Miarinic Hie Profit.
"These are the very best terms on which
I could securo bonds as an Investment for
tho permanent fund. If I could havo pur
chased the bonds on my original offer of
3V6 per cent there would have been a sav
tng both to tbe state and to tho county.
The charge Is mndo that tho Investment
was a poor one In any event. In reply to
this I will say that I am now having great
trouble in getting bonds on terms as fa
vorable ns thoso on which I got the Hurt
county bonds. It In a pertinent fact In this
connection that many counties of the state
Including .Douglas county, havo money on
hand for which they cannot realize even 3
per cent. I may say further- In this con-
nectlon that my action with reference to
the Hurt county bonds was unanimously
ratified by the Board of Educational Lands
and Funds on September 10.
"I did not derlvo any profit whatever
from tho Durt county transaction. Mr. Ne
Ugh got Interest coupons for $3,450. From
that amount must be deducted $S0O pre
ml urn paid Burt county, and It ho h'us sold
the coupons' the amount Is still further rr
duced owing to the fact that the coupons
wore not payable on demand and did not
bear Interest nnd would bo subject to n
considerable discount. What Mr, Nellgh
hus done with' the coupons or what ho has
realized from them I am .unable to say,
I have no knowledge of the matter what
ever. I have trover received nny' of th
proceeds In any way whntover. The charge
made against,, mo In. this particular Is an
unwarranted assumption. I am not oven
given the benefit, of tho principle upon
which tho administration of justice has
been founded time out of mind, that a mnn
is to bb presumed' Innocent until proved
guilty. Tho whole chnrge'ls unjust, mall
clous and without foundation In fact
have handled public funds fo Vhe best o
my ability and Judgment. I think my rec
ord will compare favorably with that of
any of my predecessors. I have- turned
into tho state every dollar at Intorost that
has accrued on state funds. I have never
derived a cent of profit In nny Way be.

M. F. .Funkhouscr objects to having mem
bers of the school board criticise either his
astc, discrimination or dllcttantctsm. At
the meeting of the board last night ho so
uddenly and forcefully resented such ver
bal scrutiny on the part of Mr. Barnard
that he sent n shudder of shock through
the roomful of persons present and put on
dgo the nerves of a hitherto placid gath
ering.
The excitement nroso over a proposition
to bavo the Ilnance committee, of which .Mr.
Funkhouser Is chairman, confer with tho
Real Kstnto exchange regarding the pro
posed consolidation of tho financial manage
ment of Omaha, South Omaha and Doug
las' county. A report regarding this was
requested of Mr. Funkhouscr and ho re-
ponded by recommending that Howard,
Barnard and W, F. Johnson be appointed a
committee to do the conferring, ns ho could
not seo why tho Job should be saddled
upon tho finance committee more than any
othor.1 .
Thereupon, offer much talk, emanated a
motion from Mr, Wood that tho matter be
recalled from tho finance committee. ThU
'ns tarried and W. F. Johnson then moved
that the finance committee be Instructed to
confer with tho Real Ustnto exchange and
cport back to the hoard, a moro rep Mtton
of the former nsslgnmcnt.
Mr. Funkhouscr then embodied In a sub
stitute motion his former suggestion thnt
Howard, Barnard nnd W. F. Johnson ho
named a speclnl committee to do this. Then
Mr. Barnard arose and said thnt this was
usurping n prerogative of the president.
Hn stntrd thnt It wns nlwnys the province
of the chair to name committees.
Here f.'nmc (he I'lrrnnrka,
"It Is surely In poor taste," concluded
Mr. Barnard, "for any member of this
hoard to attempt to dlctato the personnel
of committees In thnt wny. Wc "
"It's In no poorer tnste than for you to
suggest the finance committee," ronrcd Mr.
Funkhouser, springing to his feci.
"I did not suggest It," replied narnard,
but Mr. Funkhouser wns plnlnly angered.
"Now come," he shouted, ns ho pointed
an unllgbted cigar menacingly at Mr. Bar
nnrd, "I want you to understand thnt you
cannot talk that wny to me." Tho words
rang threateningly nnd an absolute still
ness pcrvnflcd tho room when they wcro
finished.
"It's surely nil right for mn to express
my opinion. I "
"No, It Isn't. Not In that wny. You ran
chooso your lnnguage better than that,"
camo a fierce Interruption.
"I mnlntaln. Mr. President," continued
Mr. Barnnrd, "Hint 1 have the right to state
my Ideas on these mntters."
"All right, then wo can hnve It out later,'
said Mr. Funkhouser and ho sat down. Tho
Incident would havo been closed had It not
been for Robert B. 'Smith, who nrose, with
a twinkle In his eye, nnd very grnvoly said:
'I am sorry, Mr. President, that our
friend of the Corslcnn smile, Mr. Barnard,
should have felt called upon to criticise
any member of this bonrd In such a matter
and I consider Mr. Funkhouser's motion
perfectly legitimate nnd In keeping with
the' etiquette of this board." '
A vote on Mr. Funkhouser's substitute
motion wns then taken and It passed, 8 to
so his committee stands. Barnard, How
ard, W. F, Johnson, T. H. Johnson, Stub
bendorf and J. J. Smith voted no.
Inmirnnco Matter t't Again.
An attempt of the finance committee to
comply with an net of tho board taken last
summer and adjust the sum In tho insurance
fund developed tbe fact that hardly any
two members of tho hoard outsido of the
committee understood that action tho same.
It wns on May 6 last that tho buildings
and property committee recommended as
follows:
Thnt such amounts of money ns would
havo been paid far InHuranco premiums
nan mo uouru cnrrieu n line on mo fol
lowing' buildings from tho time they wero
commoted to the urosent date on a basis
of 50 per cent of tliclr costs, bo left In the
insurance runu.
Your commttteo further recommends that
Rtinunlly In the month of January thoro
bo transferred from the general fund to
the Insurance fund such a sum as the
premiums would nmount to, provided tho
unto iptiimuiRK wcro reguinny incurea.
This relates to '.he fourteen uninsured
buildings, the Cass, Central, Columbian

now In tho insurnnco fund $12,350. Till

tloned. In nn effort to carry out the In
structtons In the resolution of May C, tho
finance committee last night recommended
that this $1,680 bo transferred to the gen
eral fund, leaving the balnnce provided.
A storm of objections arose, however,
Members of the building committee sab:

it not properly ingested, too raw mass

Miss R. K. Phillips, a young lady at
3306 Vernon Ave., Chicago, writes that
she suffered for years from indigestion
and dyspepsia from the use of food that
wan not suitable to her powers ot discs

She says: "I began using Grnpe-Nut

Itlon created such general mental con-
ornnllon that, eyeryono gavo up hope of
unraveling the tangle and the whole matter
as laid over till next meeting.
Another Occasion fnr lllapnte,
Mr. Funkhouser and Robert Smith made
bitter fight on tho following report from
the buildings and property committee;'
Your committee on buildings nnd prop
erty, to which wns referred a communi
cation from tho superintendent of Instruc
tion, regarding the upo of school build

Your committee further recommends
that no one except persons connected with

o know who had authorized the change

tatcd that the new method was far tho
Inferior one. Members of the committee
challenged said thnt the' board bad per
mitted them to do It, but Smith wanted to
eco tho books,- After considerable halting
and haggling 'the matter was dismissed by

Ruck Keith's saloon, Twelfth nnd rnrnam
streets, was filtered by burglars some time
before daylight, yesterday 'morning and
robbed of property representing a value of
$100. , Entrance wns effected by prying
dp'en a side door.
Thd thieves devoted their attention ex
clusively to tho cash register, which con
tained' no money, as all funds hnd been
withdrawn and deposited In a snfo when
the saloon closed nt 2:30 n. m., but they
found there a gold watch nnd a dtninond
pin, property of a patron, which had been
entrusted a few hours before to tho enro of
tho bartender. Nothing else In the place
was disturbed. Evidently satisfied with
their loot, the thieves left at onrc and
probably were not In tho saloon moro than
five minutes. Detectives nro working on
the caso.
The saloons of Peter Nelson In the Ox
ford hotel, Eleventh and Farnnm streets,
and James Hoyles, Eleventh nnd Douglas
streets, were entered about the samo time
and It Is thought by tho same parties. At
the hotel saloon entrance was made by
forcing the front door with a Jimmy.
Twenty-two dollnrs was taken from the
cash register.
At Royles' enloon tho burglars entered
by prying a window open with a Jimmy.
The marks ot tho Jimmy wero upon the
door and two other windows. Tho burglars
secured $13"rfrom tho. money drawer.
