It la said that Bartley'a financial pros perity has made him a tyrant, that he Is exacting, In the extreme upon those, who were foolish enough to place themselves ,1b his grasp.

HANDSOME FOULARDS FOR THE NEW. .SHIRT WA18T SUITS The new foulards are here. Nothing should be allowed to interfere with a choice nothing mors stylish this seasonf Sixteenth and Douglas Sti in which this resolution or bill can be In troduced so that whatever Is done must be done expeditiously. There is little thought that this movement will ever meet with success. There Is, to be sure, a great deal of sentimental talk to the effect that Bartley and his bondsmen should be given their release, but this emanates from the Bartley ring and deceives no one. As one of the Bartley bondsmen re marked the other day to a correspondent for The Bee, the suits arising from the embezzlement have been complicated and expensive. Aside from the suit brought In the Lancaster county district court De cember 20, 189T, to recover the shortage then supposed to have occurred during Bartley's first term and dismissed when it was learned that it occurred durijg his second term, the state has been Involved In various other costly actions. History of Litigation. Its subsequent action to recover from Joseph S. Bartley and the sureties on his official bond as state treasurer a shortage of $565,790.66 was begun with suit In the district court of Douglas county October 23, 1887. A jury was Impanneled February 9. 1898, and returned a verdict for the de fendants February $7, 1898. upon which t'je action . was dismissed. The judgment of dismissal was reversed by the supreme court December 8, 1898 and the cause re manded tor a new trial. A aecond trial ot the case waa begun in the district court July 6, 1899, the Jury, In accordance with a peremptory instruction ot the court, re turning a verdict for the state, and Judg ment was entered against the defendants uly 25, 1899, for $646,318.45. The case was again taken to the aupreme court Septem ber' 27, 1899; the judgment In favor of the state was there reversed liecember ' 19, 1899, and the cause was remanded to the Istrlct coirt for another trial. The third trial was begun July 6. 1901, and resulted In a verdict, July 13, 1901, In favor of the tate . and , against the sureties E. E. Brown, C. C. McXish and John H. Ames, for $545.947.16.,, By this verdict Sureties W. A. Paxton.' Thomas Swobe and. Cadet Taylor were .released from liability; judg ment was rendered in accordance with the verdict; petitions In error were filed In the upreme court t)y the state and by E. E. Brown, C. ' C. McNIsh and John 11. Ames. The case was argued before the supreme court February 4, 1902, and the Judgment below was reversed as to all parties June 1902, and the cause Was remanded to the distrlot court ot Douglas county, where It is to come up for a fourth trial at the spring term. Some Facta Aboat Defalcation. In view of the efforts being made to de prive the atate of remuneration ot its heavy osses entailed through the raecsuty of the man It twice elected as the custodian ot Its public funds, a brief statement of Bart- ley's treachery would not be out of place. Bartley's total shortage waa $565,674.61. He disposed of 180,000 without turning any of the proceeds Into the treasury. In tak ing up the warrant he used $201,884.05 ot the state's money.- Hla own statement showed that he. should have had In his possession $335,878.0$ more ot permanent school funds than were accounted tor. It was proved that he plaoed $17,812.48 more dcpoelta In suspended state depository banks than he had any legal right to do. Thla brings the total shortage up to $555.. 574.61. But by the wear and tear of three trials In court the amount that la now held against Bartley and his bondsmen and for wblch a new suit will begin In the district court In Douglas county at the spring term $545,947.1$ and Interest from the time Bartley went out of office at the end of his second term, January 7, 1897.

Inmlaatlnn, WASHNOTON. Feb. 21. The statehood compromise which Is expected to unlock the preieut tfr.gle In, the senate and remove-the blockade proposes to admit two states, one to be Oklahoma, according to Its present boundaries, with a proviso that ln Jlan Territory shall be added to Oklahoma In 1906, when the treaty obligations with the Indians will not be in the way. . The other state .is to be composed of New Mexico and Arizona under the name of Montezuma, with a proviso that when the present territory of Arizona has a population ot 300.000 people it shall be come a m para te state, providing that the people of the territory affected vote In favor of being divided from New Mexico or Montezuma. Senator Spooner has been entrusted with the legal questions Involved, especially In regard to the rights ot the Indian tribes In Indian Territory. He has been in consul tation with the attorney general and 'other law officers of the government familiar with the subject, and the bill, when drawn, will be based upon Information wblch Senator Spooner Obtains. ' While this compromise will be acceptable to the republicans, there Is yet considerable doubt about the democrats, and, so far as can be learned, they will oppose It with vigor, which means defeat at this stage of the session. -' It has been suggested that when the compromise plan Is formulated and clrcu lated the democrats may hold a conference and if the majority should agree to accept the bill, the minority will yield. However, this Is only conjecture, but the men who. are managing the situation ex press the hope that some agreement can be reached. The effect upon the canal treaty will at once be felt, as Senator Quay and other statfhood men will not try to prolong the debate on this measure. At the' sanle time eenators served notice yesterday upon those who are pressing the treaty that Senator Morgan should have full opportunity to present his views and amendments to tho treaty In an orderly manner and without undue pressure. Senators Teller, Dubois and Rawlins were especially emphatic In making these dec larations, saying that eVen If the treaty had to go over until after Marcl) 3 the Ala bama senator should not be subjected to undue pressure and' strain. Many democrata are also said to believe that an extra, session of congress would not be bad party poll tlcB, as it would give an opportunity to discuss trust legislation and revision ot the tariff. This Idea was communicated to some of the republican leaders today and caused considerable uneasiness because It was Re alized that very few men could force enough appropriation bills over to cause an extra session. At the same time the most experienced senators claim that before the coming week has passed the "blockade will be raised In some manner and all necessary legis lation disposed of by March 4. Con Armatlons by tha. Senate. The senate today confirmed the follow ing appointments: Jamea R. Garfield, Ohio, commissioner of corporations in the Department of Com merce and Labor. .

Ot Great - Importance That Children Have Proper Pood. A child win grow up with weak and small bones or strong and sturdy frame, depend Ing on 4he kind of food given. That's why feeding the youngsters la of such grest importance. The children do not select the food the responsibility rests with the parent or guardian, or with you if you select the food for a boy or girl. The scientific selection of this food should begin as early as possible. That's when the delicate little plant need! the tenderest care. A well known lady ot CaTistoga, Calif., says: "About two years ago my lit tle niece was taken sick. When medical aid was' called one physician pronounced the cass curvature of the spine; another called it softening of the boaes and gave but little hope of her recovery. For weeks she had been falling before her parents thought it anything but trouble from her teething. "She bad bean fed on mushes snd soft foods of different kinds, but at last her stomach could' retain scarcely anything. At this time she had become a wesk little skeleton dt humanity that could not much more than stand alone. "The doctors changed her food several times until finally put on Grspe Nute. which she reiuhed from the first and ste st almost every meal and ber .recovery baa bees wonderful. She has been gaining ever slnco In strength and weight. 8ha haa eaten rioiens of packagea of Grana-Nuta In tha last year and a half and the child Is now a rosy-cheeked sod healthy little girl, still clinging to her Grape-Nuts. It Is plain the food has saved ber life by giving ber body the needed material to keep it well and the bone material to build with." Name given by Post urn Co., Battle Creek.
