(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. . -(Special) "To
Jive 10 per cent to Ud U the duty of a
Christian," according to Governor Mickey.
Ha urged delegates to ' tne state Toting
Men's Chriatlan association convention this
morning to follow this rule In life. Inci
dentally he delivered himself of a few
weighty thoughts for tha guidance of the
youth of the land.
"I think, the first thing to be observed Is
Integrity," said the governor. "Livs within
your income, boys. Spend less than .you
make. If you don't you will come to grief
fast and sure.- Particular attention is paid
to getting money and keeping it at this day
and age, and yet much of the money la
given to God. What would we do If we did
not have money T We could not help the
starving or the, poor or the weak. It takes
a great deal of money to do things."
Governor Mickey spoke of the late Mil
lionaire Colgate, who begun his life's strug
gle when a poor boy and how he made a
success of tt by reading his Bible, attend
ing church, being a. Christian, and above
all, remembering his mother's prayers. Ha
dwelt particularly on the fact that a young
man should give a small part of his earn
ings to the Lord.
"If yoti have H. boys, give 10 cents of It
to the Lord. I am much In favor of a little
line by Sam Jones. He said: 'I would
rather my son would earn $1 dollar hon
estly by working eight or ten hours a day
than have him make a million on the board
of trade in one day. It is the millions that
send boys to hell and most of thera would
take a hundred with them.
.plane? Affairs Probed lata.
This morning at 9 o'clock Referee Ryan,
who was appointed by the supreme court
to taka the evidence In the injunction suit
brought by the state against E. C. Spinney,
tne umana insurance magnate, who la ac
cused of attempting to organise a job lot
of smaller fraternal concerns, entered upon
his duties. Slow progress is being made
among the voluminous records of the
Banker's Union of the World, of which
Spinney is the head. Examiner Wiggins of
tha insurance department of the auditor's
office was on the stand all day long testi
fying as to the business of the concern,
which the state alleges to have been con
ducted In violation of the state fraternal
association law. Evidence was adduced to
show that the beneficiaries of several cer
tificates were obliged to accept much less
than the face of the contracts on the
ground that there were stipulations In the
by-laws making provisions for certain de
ductions from the face value In case of
early death.
It is claimed thst tha state will show that
the concern has liabilities aggregating W0,-
0"X, with scarcely any money in the treasury
with which to pay them. The monthly pre
mium receipts of the association are $8,000.
Examiner Wiggins also ' testified under
questioning from the attorney general that
Spinney had taken In members of the ab
sorbed fraternal associations without mak
ing them submit to the medical examina
tion required in the statutes. Another point
which the state Is bringing oat in the evi
dence Is that some of the absorbed mem
bers would fare better under their contracts
than those who took their memberships at
first in the Bankers Union of the World.
A great mass of evidence remains to be
looked into by the referee, and It Is now
considered probable that the hearing will
last the greater part of the coming week.
Morteasea Smiles Oaee More.
The gloom in the neighborhood" of the
state treasurer's office haa for the first
time in six months been effectually dis
pelled. The cauae of it all la the expecta
tion of the state treasurer that he will be
able to redeem from 1150.000 to 00,000 In
stats general fund warrants during tha
current monh. He said this afternoon that
at the rate money is pouring Into the treas
ury In settlement of the county balances
he would be able to start the huge floating
debt on the down grade for the first time
since the beginning of his administration.
The treasury may be called upon to foot
the bill for the new steel cells to the
amount of $0,000, but there is talk to the
effect that the auditor will hold up these
claims on the ground that the Board of
Public Lands and Buildings had no right
contract for the cells at a price equal to
per unit when the legislative appro-
tlon provides for 240 cells to cost $80,000,
a pro rata cost of $33.
This morning the treasurer issued another
call for general fund warrants to the
amount of $50,000. They are numbered from
K.ii2 to 94.065. Others will be called during
the month.

Through the opening of the deadline
strip In Sheridan county by the executive
order of the president of the United States
the state school lands will be increased by
the addition of S3 acres in the strip. A
section of Indemnity land went to tha
State before the land waa withdrawn from
entry In- 1881 Ajt that time a atrip ten
miles long and Ave miles wide along the
Nebraska line south of Pine RUge wis
withdrawn so as to form barrier for the
bootleggers who had been wont to jupply
the Indians of the agency to the north
with llnunr.
The tend In the strip which is to be
opened is vsluable chiefly for Its scenic at
tractions, according to Surveyor Harvey
of the land commissioner's office, who is
familiar with the lay of the land. There
are. he says, but a few arable quarters In
the entire tract and they cannot be reachel
because of the towering hills with which
they are hedged In,

Thlak Tkey Have Beak Robbers.
The Lincoln police believe that they have
one of the men wanted for complicity In
the Lebanon, Kan., bank robbery, in tne
person of John Galvln, who Is serving a

Both the American and Pacific Express
companies have boycotted the rooms pro
vided for them at the Union depot, and
express which haa to be held over between
trains Is Hauled to the Mala street office
and then taken back to the depot again.
The cauae of the trouble is that the rail
roads demand E3 per month rent from

pantas refuse to pay it. The American
Express company formerly used a small
building belonging to the Northwestern

the charge of having violated the Insurance

he will at once be rearrested for commit
ting similar fmrturrs of the law In other
portions of this state. Since Mir-ton's In

McBride has received letters from the su
thoritles at Columbus. Grand Island. Hum

KANSAS CITY. Feb. . A special to the
Star from Fulton. Mo., says that the Jury
In the case of Colonel E.Iward Butler, the
millionaire St. Louis politician, on trial on
a charge of bribing nineteen members of
the house of delegates at St. Louis, re
turned a verdict today, which read:
"We. the jury, find the defendant r.ot
guilty."
The verdict was returned at 10 o'clock.
When the court opened at S o'clock this
morning the jury had come in and reported
that they were unable to agree. They
were r.rdered back to their room to further
consider the rase.
When the Jury finally reported, read; to
render lta verdict, the defendant was net
In the court room. It tons several minutes
to find him. The Jury was brought In
quickly and the verdict was, read by
Judge Graves. As Its Import waa realised,
a dosen of Colonel Butler s friends gave
forth a wild shout and dashed out of the
room and Into the street to ssread the
news. Butler stepped quickly fnm his
place and shook hands with Foreman
Rosser. Then he walked down the line of
Jurors, shaking hands with each. Within
a few minutes Judge Graves polled the
Jury and discharged them. Friends sur
rounded Colonel Butler and. after holding
an Informal levee, all lefL the rocm. Butler
laughing ar.d Joking with tho.e about him.
Attorney Folk Dnmfnunded.
FULTON. Mo., Feb. fi Circuit Attorney
Folk had fully exptcted a verdict of con
viction, a; al least a hung Jury. He nsk. d
Attorney Rowe last night when the de
fense would be ready for the new Irial.
Mr. Rowe did not reply.
At midnight the belief was general that
the Jury could not posvlbly agree. When
the Jury reported to Judge Graves at 8:S1
this morning that belief was general. The I
Jurors sent for Judge Graves a few minutes
before 10 o'clock. The news that a verdict
had been reached caused a commotion at
the hotel where Butler and his friends, to
gether with Circuit Attorney Folk and a
score of citizens, had gathered. There was
demonstration.
Tea to Two for Acquittal.
Attorney Folk, who was in the court
room, appeared dumbfounded.
'I thought the state presented a good
case," ha said. " Beyond that l nave notn
ing to say at this time."
About eighteen ballots were taken, ac
cording to Foreman Rosser, and at the
start the Jury stood ten for acquittal and
two for conviction.
"One of these voting to convict changed
after the first ballot," said Mr. Rosser.
"The other man held out stubbornly until
:6 this morning, when he finally cams
Into line. I do not care to mention the
names of the two who held out for convic
tion, nor the one who remained firm up to
the last moment.
The Jurors did not want to convict the
defendant on the testimony of boodlers and
perjurers, whose statements were flatly
contradicted by men of good character.
Again, we did not think the circumstances
pointed to the defendant's guilt on the evi
dence of the state. Even though we thor-
roughly credited It, there was serious doubt
ss to Butlers guilt. Weighing tne facta
carefully, we think we did our full duty
fair and Impartially."
When he finished shaking hands with the
Jury Colonel Butler turned to his son Eddie,
the big blacksmith. There were tears In
the old man's eyes and the young man,
unable to speak, grabbed his father and
kissed him.
Oplaloas of Lead las; Flararea.
"Colonel" Butler later made this state
ment:
I have nothing to say about the way Joe
Folk prosecuted me. Joe thought he was
right, but I knew he was wrong. But I
have nothing against Folk. He did his
duty aa he saw 1 1, manfully, and I hope he
is satisfied. The Jury did likewise.
Commenting on the verdict. Circuit At
toraey Folk said:
The evidence was as strong and clear as
possible to make a bribery rase. There Is
no other way to prove bribery except
throueh Dolluted lips. I discharged the re
sponsibility resting upon me in the case
and my conscience la clear.
One of the Jurors stated mat If a single
witness had been produced to refute the
testimony of the defense that Butler was
not on the floor of the house of delegates
on November 9, 1899.'' the night the city
lighting bill was paased, the verdict would
have been different. When Mrs. Butler was
told of 'the verdict she gave her husband
this advice, which was received laughingly
"Get out of politics and stay out."
H. G. Leonard, a farmer, was tha lone
Juror who held out for Butler's conviction.
He thought Butler waa guilty and held to
that opinion for fifteen hours.
