MNCOLN. Neb., Deo. 7. (Special.)
The county superintendents of Harlan,
Fillmore and Cheyenne counties did not
wait for Superintendent Fowler to go after
them with a mandamus to compel them to
Die their reports In order to get In on the
apportionment of School moneys, but came
UP bright and early this morning with the
document. While the apportionment this
month is larger than It was last December,
it Is not larger than it has been In recent
years. Owing to the rapid maturity of
ale contracts for school lands during the
last two years, over $700,000 of the perma
nent school fund, which returned Interest
at the rate of 6 per cent, has been invested
in bonds which bring In 1 per cent, and the
apportionment consequently decreased.
Talk Sabbath Observance.
The committee appointed by the Minis
terial association to investigate the social
evil did not report at . the meeting this
(horning, but asked for further time. The
ministers then got busy on a paper by Rev.
Long as to the desecration of the Babbath.
lie laid:
There are many causes of Sabbath dese
cration, and the first cause is laxity in
the : home. There has been a decided
Change in the old form of Sabbath observ
ance and in the new. The old way was
not Ideal, and neither Is the present The
old way was too severe, but there is too
much extreme liberalism today. One cause
Is the Influx of foreigners from countries
where the Sabbath Is not properly observed.
They do not come for liberty or conscience,
but for gain.
Adverse legislation is another. It tends
to destroy the Sabbath every year. It de
mands that libraries, museums and public
parks be open for Sunday amusements.
The, railroad systems know no Sabbath,
and ,lhe public makes no protest.
The Sunday 'newspaper came In for a
gc4 share of scoring. Rev. Long said the
Sunday newspaper tempted people a re
Vnaln home from church to read its
columns. -
The effect," he said, "Is bad upon the
reader and upon the workmen, and it edu
cates the newsboys to tramp the streets
on the Sabbath."
The olty of Toronto was used as an illus
tration of how the Sabbath should be ob
served. . Jn this city the milkman peddles
no milk, and the butcher shops, cigar
tores and the like are kept closed.
Rev. Wharton said people nowadays had
passed out of the stag a of ecclesiastical
despotism.
- "The old rules," he said, "have been de
stroyed. There is more freedom at the
present day. Why, I car. remember as a
boy when no supper was cooked on Sun
day night. I filled by little stomach with
cold milk and aprt butter, and I sat
all Sunday afternoon on a chair much
too high for my short legs, studying and
reading about Sunday sehool libraries. The
only cure for the, present laxity Is a
higher Christian spirit - No rules can be
issued."
'All the different ministers spoke briefly
on the subject of Sabbath observance and
at the end all resolved to do more them
selves to make the' day of rest what It
ought to be, .'.
The election of officers -for the coming
year will take place at the next meeting.
The nominating committee appointed this
morning is composed of. Revs. Swearlngen,
Martin, ISuswell, Orr and Ball,
i Fearful of Investment.
T. M. Alien and others In a communica
tion to the banking board today asked
that a receiver be appointed for the North

he feared that he and others were In a
good way to lose the money they had In
vested with, the company and that he was
not satisfied with the statement of the
business (done, sent him by its officers.
The company was organised before the
law governing such concerns was enacted

TECUMSEH, Neb., Deo. 7. (Special!)
Word- reaches Tecumseh that Dr. and Mrs.
C. L. Pickett, or perhaps it would be more
proper to say the Pre. Pickett, for both are I
graduates in medicine, have reached
Manila, P. I., and expect soon to be located ',
at their missionary post at Laoag, a city
in the northern part of the Island of Luson.
The Drs. Pickett were sent to the Philip
pine islands under direction of the Foreign
Missionary society of the Christian church
of the United States, their assignment was
the city of Laoag, and they have agreed to
remain at that point for a period of seven
years. Both the Drs. Pickett are graduates
of Drake university, Des Moines, la., and
both are graduates of tho Crelghton Med
ical college of Omaha, Mrs. Pickett having
completed her work last spring. Both
have received theological training and Dr.
Pickett has been in the ministry for several
years. They are accompanied by their only
child Lois, a daughter of some six years of
age.
Captors Thief, Recover Goods.

fur overcoats, which were taken from the
harness shop of J. B. Wlngert on the
night of December 4, were recovered to
day. Marshal A. M. Clark was notified
by the chief of police of Sioux City this
morning that they had raptured the man,
who gave his name as Andrew Lee, a
machinist by trade, who came to Pender
about two months ago from Indiana. Lee
admitted the stealing, said he had no ac
complice .and told where he secreted part
of the stolen property, which was found
today by the local authorities hidden in

packed Into valises and expressed from
Necora to Sioux City Sunday. When Ie
called for his express at Sioux City he
was arrested, offering no resistance. He

out requisition papers.. This capture will
doubtless lead to other discoveries in and
about here. ,

The supreme court has reversed

Gas company case and dissolved the in
junction Issued by the district Judge and
dismissed the action. About two years ago
the city council granted two lighting fran
chises, one to Lester Walker for n alatrt..
light and the other to Colby A Tenney for
a gas punt. The electric light company
Installed their plant. A year ago a new
gas franchise was granted Colby Tenney,
permitting them to install a gas plant and
sell gas to the clllxens for lighting pur
poses. This was not what the elrctrin rnm.
pany desired, and strenuous efforts were
made through one of the councllmen to
prevent the gas company from putting In
the plant. Finally the aid ot the courts
was sought and an Injunction was granted
by Judge Grimes, which enjoined the gas
company from putting In their plant.

SOME DOUBT AS Tb WOOD
President and Senators Do Not Agree at
to Standing of General.
COMMITTEE STILL HEARS WITNESSES
Senators Opposing- His Confirmation
Hare Been Told to Have Evldeneo
Completed by One Week from
Tomorrow.
WASHINGTON. Dee, 7.-President Rooee--tlt
today sent to the senate the nomina
tion of General Leonard Wood to be major
general of the army and the nomination of
167 other army officers, whose promotions
depend on that of General Wood. Accom
panying these nominations were those of
about twenty-five civilian appointees. In
cluding that of Dr. W. H. Crum to be col
lector of the port of Charleston, B. C, and
some others whom the president appointed
in the last recess. These appointments are
considered by the president and his ad
visers to be recess appointments.
The question of their status has been dis
cussed thoroughly by the president with the
best lawyers connected with the adminis
tration. The conclusion has been reached
that between the time of the falling of
President Pro Tempore Frye's gavel, sig
nifying the conclusion of the extraordinary
session, and calling to order of the senate
In regular session sn appreciable lapse of
time occurred. The appointments are re
garded by the administration as recess ap
pointments and the appointees, therefore,
will receive the pay and exercise all the
authority of the rank to which they are
promoted. The commissions of the army
officers have been made out on this under
standing. They were dated back to the
time last summer when the appointments
originally were made.
Secretaries Root and Moody had a confer
ence with the president today before the
appointments were sent to the senate. In
the matter of the appointments their view,
as lawyers and as members of the adminis
tration, coincided with that of the presi
dent. With a view to securing a legal de
cision, however, Secretary Root has au
thorised the paymaster general to make a
test case and bring it to the attention of
the comptroller of the treasury at the
earliest possible moment.
While the nominations are dated to take
effect from the time the commissions wers
first Issued on the recess appointments It is
the general opinion of members of the
senate that the nominees will retain their
old rank until the nominations are con
firmed, despite the fact that all of the offi
cers affected have been serving for nearly
three months under the advanced rank and
pay to which they will be entitled when
confirmed. On this theory General Wood
will cease as major general and will re
sume his rank of brigadier general and
hold it until he is confirmed in the higher
rank. If he Is confirmed, however, he will
receive a commission dated August I and
advanced pay will take effect from that
time.
Notice has been given by the committee
to Senators Ilanna and Teller, who made
the protests against the confirmation of
General Wood to be ' major general, that
they must have all of their witnesses here
before December 16. when it is expected the
investigation will be closed. It is believed
by- opponents of General Wood this order
will have the effect of curtailing the extent
of the Inquiry. It has not yet decided
whether it will be necessary to summon any
mors witnesses from Cuba, though it Is
known that several persons who have been
before the committee will be recalled'.
Among the latter are General Tasker H.
Bliss of the general staff, and Major Run
cle, author of the magaslne article attack
ing the administration of General Brooke.
The first witness tomorrow will be M. C.
Fesnes, postofflee Inspector, who served as
director of posts in Cuba after the postal
Investigation.
Work of the Committee.
The senate committee on military affairs
resumed its hearing in the General Wood
case today, with Commander Luclen Toung
of the navy on the stand. The committee
was In session for an hour, when adjourn
ment was taken to give the members op
portunity to attend the closing of the ex
traordinary session and the convening of
the regular session of the senate.
After the opening of the senate the com
mittee again convened, occupying the pe
culiar position of investigating a nomina
tion which had failed by reason of the ex
piration of the extra session of the senate,
when Colonel Charles 8. Diehl, assistant
general manager of the Associated Press,
was called.
Commander Toung was subpoenaed by
the military affairs committee, at the re
quest of Major Rathbone, who had fur
nished to the committee a list of questions
which he desired to have addressed to the
witness. Some of the questions were Ig
nored by the committee, though much tes
timony was brought out In relation to the
charge that General Wood, after assuming
the duties as governor general of Cuba,
employed detectives not connected with the
army to shadow certain army officers for
the purpose of reporting their actions to
General Wood. Commander Toung testi
fied that he occupied the dual positions of
captain of the port of Havana and com
mander of the naval station at Havrjia. -
Many Officers were Watched.
He said he fas subordinate to General
Wood, but that he was in no way amen
able to Governor General Wood's orders.
He said he discovered detectives shadow
ing him and that upon Investigation he
learned that General Tasker H. Bliss, Gen
eral Charles E. Humphrey and Major E.
EIGHT REASONS
why Scott's Emulsion is an
ideal food-medicine.
1. It is partly pre-digested
and therefore passes quickly
into the blood.
2. It imposes no tax upon
the stomach or other digest
ive organs.
3. It does not cause
fermentation such as usually
results from ordinary food
when the stomach is weak.
4. Its action is mild and
even, insuring the greatest
nourishment with the least
effort.
5. Its quality is always
uniform.
6. It feeds and strengthens
the bones, blood, nerves and
tissues.
7. It is one of the greatest
flesh producers known to
medical science.
8. It is palatable and
agreeable to the taste and
easily taken.

Lsdd, also, were followed by detectives.
He asserted that be knew the detectives
were in tho pay of General Wood.
In reference to his recall from the post
at Havana, Commander Toung said he was
assured by General Wood that he was
very sorry snd unable to understand tho
order which had been received from Wash
ington. Commander Toung said when he
arrived at Washington he learned that the
recall had been at the suggestion of Gen
eral Wood, but that there is no correspond
ence on file In the War department to prove
the assertion.
Colonel Dlehl Was called for the purpose
of supplementing the testimony of Melville
E. Stone, general manager of the Associ
ated Press in relation to the service In
Cuba of Captain E. G. Bellalrs, as a press
correspondent. Colonel Dlehl said General
Wood called at the New York office of the
Associated Press in the early part of 1900
and spoke favorably of Captain Bellalrs.
The witness said that so far as he knew
General Wood had no knowledge that Bel
lalrs was an ex-convict; that Bellalrs Im
pressed favorably all who met him. The
character of Captain Bellalrs did not be
come known to General Dlehl until after
the correspondent had been transferred
from Cuba to China and later to the Philip
pines. The committee adjonrned until tomorrow.

Adjutant Gensral Telia What Eg Knows of

THINKS PERSONALITIES GIGURE IN IT
Witnesses Held Here Several Weeks
la Alleged PostolKre Cases Aro
Chains; I'nder the Imperi
ous Orders.
Adjutant General J. H. Culver was called
before the grand Jury last evening to tes
tify in the Colby matter. He had with him
the books, accounts and records of the ad
jutant general's office for the years 1901,
1903 and 1903; covering Colby's term of of
fice as adjutant general. No extendod
examination was made of the books, and
General Culver's examination was very
brief. He was excused after bis examina
tion until today. He returned to Lincoln
last evening, and will return to Omaha at
noon today. General Culver said. In refer
sncs to the matter under investigation:
"I know but very little about it. Just
What the scope of the Inquiry will be
have no Idea. I think that it la simply
a question of accounting and property dis
position under the rules governing the Ne
braska National Guard. It has no refer
ence to the adjutant general's office under
my administration. I am Inclined to think
that there Is a personal grlevanoe back of
the whole affair, and I regret that- it has
got into tho federal courts. Mr. Smith Is,
I observe, a high-priced expert acoountant,
as shown by some of the bills he has on
file In the adjutant general s office for ser
vices rendered, wherein he asks 17 per day.
My examination before the grand Jury was
very brief, and I was excused because of
pressing business requiring my return to
Lincoln. I will have to go before the Jury
again, probably tomorrow."
Storekeeper 8. D. Davis was called before
the grand Jury, after General Culver bad
been excused, and his examination took up
the rest of the evening prior to adjourn
ment to this morning.
omo Details In Case.
The legislature of 1901 appropriated $76,000
for building the portion of the penitentiary
destroyed by fire and to pay the cost of re
placing the 700 blankets sent there after
the fire from the office of the adjutant gen
eral. The records In the office of the audi
tor show that a voucher was presented to
the auditor by General Colby for $2,280 to
pay for the blankets August 1. August 9
the auditor Issued the warrant, No. B 68,906,
and on September 24 Colby gave a receipt
for It. . Later tho warrant was cashed
after $181. SO interest had accrued.
Governor Mickey allowed General Colby
to remain In office for some time In order to
give him an opportunity to settle up his
affairs with the state and make his report.
But the report covering this transaction
cannot be found in the governor's office and
there has been no final settlement between
the two. General Colby bad not paid money
for the rent of armories as he should, but
since his retirement from office he has set
tled this In full, so it was said in the gen
eral office. For many months both Gov
ernor Mickey and General Culver have
worked unsuccessfully to get Colby to file
his final report
No examination has been mads of Gen
eral Colby's books by the present adjutant
or his assistants, because the adjutant said
he had been too busy. Governor Mickey
had asked that this be on of the first
duties of General Culver. For many years,
ft is claimed, the office of the adjutant gen
eral has been badly muddled so far as ths
bookkeeping Is concerned, and it may be
that Governor Mickey will start an Investi
gation back further than that now In prog
ress by the federal grand jury. ,
fiubpoennes Are Issned. .
A number of. subpoenaes were Issued yes
terday evening for witnesses In the Alma
and Fairbury and Wllsonvllle postofflee
cases and a deputy marshal was sent out
last night to servo them.
There are Indications that Alma, Orleans,
Arapahoe and Oxfefd cases have fallen fiat
and that It will fake an attenuated point to
secure an Indictment In either of these
cases. Several of the witnesses have been
held here tor two or three weeks and have
not yet ' appeared before the grand jury.
They are Imperiously ordered, however, to
remain hers and report from day to day
and three or four of them are chafing under
their enforced restraint.
There seems to be a determined effort to
bring Congressman Hinshaw of the Fourth
district, into the Fairbury postofflee matter,
In order to effect an estrangement between
him and Senator Dietrich.
Senator Dietrich has not yet appeared to
enter a plea to his indictment in the Hast
ings matter and it is not probable that he
will do so until the postofflee cases now un
der Investigation are completed. He was
still In ths city last evening awaiting ths
action of the grand Jury.
