three coaches following toppled over
against the side of the cut. The Pullman
on the rear of the train remained on the
track.
It Is not known what caused the wreck,
but it. Is supposed to have been d.ue either
to the spreadinn of the rails or the bag
gage car Jumping the track.
A special . train backed down from Fre
mont, the passengers were transferred to It
and departed for the west about 7 o'clock.
Wrecking trains from Fremont and Omaha

LINCOLN". Oct. 11. (Special.) James J.
Roberts of the office of the iSTetary of
state today Issued the following open let
ter to George W. Berge, cindiua,e f r
governor on the fusion ticket:
Hon. G. W. Berge: Dear Sir October 8,
In a speech at Wahoo. you made the fol
lowing staiements: "From 1M to i9)0 we
weie In powc-r. 1'eop.e could not pay the.r
taxes. ei during ilioe four-years we ran
tne state government and paid off X.i.u 0
of the states indebiedne -p. Instead of tie
creasing the stale aebt they (ihe repub
lican! have Incieaerd It ,bout tioO.uOa. In
auuitlon to tnls increase they aie short
ejOU.tKM, which the resent levy will fall
to raise. How uo .m :ike that?'
Speaking softly, M . . Berge, 1 would eay
that 1 don't like it, bec-diis? none of the
above financial statements are true.
Your pretended saving is made up of two
Items, as shown by the report of the state
aunitor (pages 34 end S3, is;!; also page
24. r.mto. These Items are as follows
General fund debt Nov. IX), I'M. ..$l.:i6.2T3. 17
Sinking fund Hebl Nov. 3u, 11WU 1.727.447.72
Your saving i!08,H2a.75
Sinking fund uebt Nov. 30. )h...a 4tu, 238.01
bmkiii tund uebt Nov. 3o, litxi
Your raving $ 467,238.04
Total on the two Items $ 676.u63.79
In passing. Mr. Berge. let me ask you
why ou combined a general and a sinking
fund ocRt but we will let that go; your
own figures wll confound you. Tne aoove
figures are correct, but, Mr. Beige, If yon
were honest and fair and not intending to
oecelve, why old you not see two ottier
Items on these same pages. Wo.iUl you
report on the conditio!', of a bank by ex
amining its deposits or would you look into
lis cash loans and discounts H" honest,
Mr. Berge: look at the oiher tide of ihe
account. The above report shows that
when the reformers went into ollke tr.ey
received cash as follows:
General I una $ BS9 370 : 9
Sinking fund 317,Mo.o4
V
Total cash $ 901,210.43
Given $7,ooo. you "ran the state govern
ment und paid oft $6i'J,0O0." 1 guess you
could.
Now, Mr. Berge, If you were to make up
a fair set of book. would they not look
like this:
General fund debt Nov. 30. 1S96 . .$1,936 73.47
Sinking fund debt Nov. 3o, 467,238.04
Total apparent debt $2,403,511 51
Less cah in treasury 907,210 43
Total actual debt $1,496 301. OS
General fund debt Nov. 30, 19-W... $1,727,441. 72
Sinking fund debt Nov. 30. 190J
Total apparent debt I $1,727,447.72
Less cash in treasury 105,759.69
Total actual debt $1,621,623.03
Actual debt when reformers went
in tl.496.3J1.08
Actual deb-; when reformers went
out 1.621.6S8.03
Actual increase of debt by re
formers $ 125,386.95
Ileal Balance .Sheet.
I challenge you to dispute the correctness
of tne figures or the conclusion that In
stead of d.-cteasirg the debt ii77.000 the re
formers IncieaNed-it In the amount of J125.
380.93. This discrepeney, Mr. Berge, Is Just
taking tho same figures that you took and
being honest with them. But to the above,
Mr. Berge, should be added the bills left by
the reformers and paid by the republican
leaislatuie of 1901, amounting to tlS2,i3i.97.
This would make the actual increase of the
debt by the reformers of 308,122.92 Add to
this youi "saving of $ti77.0uo" ad you have
a difference of only about $976,000 between
the statement of a reformer getting votes
and the cold, hard truth.
As to your second statement that the
debt h-id increased $50n.ouo under the re
publicans 1 call your attention to the fact
tint the outstanding debt when the reform
ers left ofhutt for. wsioh warrants Mid been
Issued, Ivsh cash In the treasurv;-'iwas $1,
621.GM8.03. Add to this the outstanding debts
paid" by the republican legislature and the
actual debt wa $1. KOI 424. The outstanding
Indebtedness June 1, 1904. was. less cash In
the treasury, Jl.972,213.43. making an in
crease of $107,789.4:' In the last three and
one-halt yeiT. This Is less than one-third
of your $500,000.
As to you- (hird statement that an addi
tional $."0.o00 will be added by reason of the
levy bring Insufficient to cover current ex
penses. 1 would call your attention to the
fact that the income now about equals the
expenditures, and th t warrants have been
Issued for the bulk of the appropriations of
1H3; this from the fact that one and a half
years of the two for which the appropria
tions were miioc nave elapsed, ana me rur
fher fact that the greatest expenditure Is
always In the first year, the claims and
deficiencies being paid Immediately, after
the adjournment of the IeRlslafure. Fur
ther, next January the taxes of 1904 will
become livailable, the laws passed by the
last legislator? will get In their work, the
delinquent taxes will come Into the treas
ury and the estimate now made bv he
auditor is that six months from now the
debt will be decreased over $100,000, and In
no event can there be a further shortage.
Add to your estimated shortage of $500,000
the saving of $100,0ol), then add the $1'30,000
of discrepeney of the other $500.00" shortage
and you have another difference of about
$900,000 between the statements of a re
formar getting votes and the cold, hard
truth.
Wltnt rterenne l,w Does.
Practical politicians In Lincoln Just now
are expresring themselves very vigorously
because the republican state committee
manngers have not made an analysis of the
records of the State Board of Equalization
to provo that tho present revenue law is
not the Iniquitous measure that the fuslon
isls are claiming It Is. One politician re
marked today that the revenue law was the
only basis for all the speeches being mado
by fusion spellbinders, when as a matter
of fact he said the republican party should
be retained in power If for no other reason
than because the party enacted the reve
nue law: Legislature after legislature was
afraid to grapple with the question and
the last session, which had a republican
working majority, did the business and the
people of the state should be proud of that
legislature for doing it.
An analysis of the returns made hy th
assessors Bhows that the man with tht
money and credits is the man who is hit
hardest under the present law. The In
crease of this class of property Is 317 per
cent over the valuation last year, or $1J,.
919.175. There Is little doubt that much of
this Increase was due to the uncovering of
properly that had not heretofore been
turned in.
The farmers, whom the fusioniats are try
ing to scare with tho revenue luw, had their
live stock Increased only 16 per cent over
last year, or $2,970,393. The Increase of real
estate this year over last lear was 61 per
cent, or $61,714,279. Miscellaneous property
was Increased $10,716,762, or 64 per cent. The
increase of the total valuation of ull prop,
erly of the state this year over last yeat
was $106,320,866, or 56 per cent. Of this

Complain of Committer.
Around the Lancaster county republican
headquarters today there is great rejoic
ing. The Lancaster county republican
committee lias found out to a certainty
that In Omaha there Is a republican state
committee. The fact was discovered after
forty-one letters had been written to the
Omaha headquarters for literature on state
issues snd after Chairman Roberts had
made seven trips to the metropolis. Mr.
Roberts brought back from the heidq tarter
In Omaha yesterday evening a number of
pictures of Governor Mickey and these have
been posted up as an evidence of the gn
eroslty and liberality of the state commit
tee officials. To his forty-one letters Mr.
Roberts received no reply. He has been
loaded up with national literature however.
The fact that the state" headquarters man
agers have paid no attention to the Lan
caster ' county committee's requests has
not hindered the work of the committee or
the party In this county In the least, how
ever. A bt-tter organization does not exist
In any county in the state and the com
mittee Is mode up of young republicans
that do things and In a short time. a circu
lar will be Issued In this city answering all
the charges of the fusion-spellbinders and
It will be circulated without regard to the
state committee.
Total of state Losses.
Deputy Auditor Anthes, during the last
few days, has received several communica
tions from republicans out In the state as
to the actual amount of money the state
lost because of the Hartley defalcation and
the failure of banks. One of these writers
stated that the fuslonlsts were Issuing
statements regarding this defalcation
which he Mas certain were wrong and for
that reason he wanted the facts. According
to the records the various funds of the
state lost by reason of the Bartley defal
cation was $35.58.'.50, and by reason of the
Insolvency of banks the statj lost $290.
477.46, or a total of $616,004.90. The money
Inst in -banks was deposited as follows:
First National bank of Orleans: Bank of
Wymore; Capital National bank of Lin
coln; Globe Loan and . Trust company of
Omaha; Buffalo County National bank of
Kearney; Merchants bank of Lincoln. This
is another item that helped swell the state
debt that tht fuslonlsts are trying hard not
to conglder. .
W. C. T. I. Convention.
Lincoln Is dry today out of respect
to the members of the Nebraska
Women's Christian Temperance Union,
who are here from ' all quarters of the
state to attend the thirtieth annual con
vention of the union. The convention
opened this morning and will continue until
Friday evening and the indication are to
day that every meeting will be well at
tended. Before the first sesion was opened
there were over 100 delegates here and this
number Is considered very flattering by
those who are regular attendants upon the
convention.
The reception committee, of which .Mrs.
Tlioma4 Darnell Is chairman, has had a
busy time of it today assigning the visit
ors to homes, every train bringing in good
delegations. Mrs. L. S. Guile is the head
of tho committee on decorations, Mrs. J.
B. Ferguson is chairman of the committee
on finance and Mrs. Lena C. Smith Is look
ing after the music of the meeting. All
of these committees have been putting In
strenuous moments today. Mrs. Lucetta
Miller Is the organist. .
. Most f the day was. .occupied by a ses
sion of the executive oommitee and an ad
dress by the president, .Mrs. D. V. Wheelock
on the "General Outloek.Vj.jThe devotional
exercises were led sti ttw-morning session
bj Mrs. Florence . Lake--.and at the after
noon session by Mrs. Persia P. Bentley,
Talks at the afternoon session of the com
mittee were made by Mrs. Louise F. James,
Mrs. Carrie E. Welton of Fairbury, Mrs.
M. M. Claflln of University Place, Mrs.
Annetta Nesbltt of Pawnee City.
With the exception of Mrs. C. V. Blewett
of Fremont, who is treasurer of the union,
all of the officers are- here: They are:
President, Mrs. D. V. Wheelock, Superior;
vice president, Mrs. Annetta Nesblt, Paw
nee City; corresponding secretary. Mrs. M.
D. Russell, 1642 South. Twenty-second
street, Lincoln: recording secretary, Miss
Anna Goudy. Pawnee City.
The executive comhiltee will report to
the convention tomorrow In favor of a
Juvenile court law and will recommend
that the superintendent of legislation be
instructed to present the matter to the
next legislature. It will also report against
changing the organization from county to
district organizations. This Is one of the
important questions for the convention to
grapple with and considerable Interest is
taken In It. The committee probably will
make a recommendation for the abolition of
capital punishment, but this Is not yet cer
tain. The matter was discussed In the
committee meeting, but no vote was taken
on It. Should a report be made on this
question it Is expected a lively debate will
follow, as several delegates have expressed
themselves In favor of the women letting
this alone, while others believe they should
take it up.
In the gold medal contes tonight Harold
H. Thorn won, his subject being "Our Na
tional Curse." Mamie Ferris of Central
City was second. The other contestants
were Gertrude Glascow of Mt. Claire, John
R. Purcell of North Bend, Anna Say and
Guy Tate of Lincoln. The Judges were C.
E. Bentley of Lincoln. Dean Fordyce of
University Place and Mrs., 8. D. Chase of
Halgler. Professor Movlus and Mrs. H.
Flnley Helms each gave a solo and Miss
Edith Crandall gave a reading.
County Denies Liability.
This morning the county attorney of
Lancaster county filed a brief In the su
preme court In support of the theory that
the county did not insure the state money
lost in the Capital National bank failure.
That Is one of the objections urged by
the state legal department against the pay
ment of $5,000.40 to the county to reim
burse It for funds advanced to the state
treasury to make up for the loss. When
the bank failure took place, the author
ities of the county promptly turned the
amount of the loss over to the state offi
cial. The sum represents, various sumw
collected for taxes for various funds. The
county secured permission from the last
legislature to bring suit for the money,
and having lost out in the lower court has
taken the case to the supreme coart.
t'nlverally Kuala Room.
It Is stated that the university author
ities are laying their plans for a quiet
campaign which has for its end the addi
tion of four blocks to the present campus
through a legislative appropriation. Tho
plan Is said, to be to secure the four blocks
north of the present site or else secure
territory north and east. The chancellor
is expected to formulate a demand on the
next legislature for Ihe much needed space.

club women being met at the train by
carriages that conveyed them to the
church, where Mayor Mulflnger and Mrs.
C. 8. Langworthy welcomed them on lie
half of the town and the local club women.
Mrs. J. M. Pile of Wayne responded.
Mrs. J. M. Buf-hnel! of Lincoln, chairman
of fhe program committee, is the only
seriously talked of candidate for the pres
idency and was given a greeting upon the
prerentatlon of her report that proved her
general popularity over the state.
The house l. seated according to the
congressional districts, the Third district
having the largest representation and the
Second the smallest. The Omaha delega
tion Is smaller than ever before, which
fact Is occasioning a general comment. At
the close of the session not one of the
e'erted delegates from the Omaha Woman's
club had materialized. In Fplte of th un
derstanding at the time of their election
that none ehcjuld allow her name lo be
voted upon who did rot Intend to attend
the convention, and general unealnes pr
vall. among the Omaha women who are
here. Mrs. I. R. Andrew, president of
the Omaha Woman's club; Mrs. A. L.
Sheen and Mrs M. J. Monette, Second dis
trict vice president; Mrs. Thll lps of the
postal clerks, Mrs. F. W. Miller, state cor
responding Fecretary, are tho only voting
Omaha representatives present.
The unavoidable absence of Judge Ben
B. Llndsey of Denver, who was to have
apoken this evening on the Juvenile court,
ws-s a great disappointment, but V'ilber F.
Bryant of Lincoln spoke in his stead, very
acceptably.

the appearance on the scene of Special
Agent O. C. Edwards of Hortor., Kas.,
representing the Department of the Interior.
The latter had been sent by the govern
ment to Investigate the filing by Dr. Wells
of homestead entry papers upon a piece
of land found without an owner near Pres
ton. In the east part of the county. The
land was adjoining the Nemaha river of
irregular dimensions and contained about
twenty acres, valued at nearly $100 per acre,
and the doctor was considered quite for
tunate by his friends In striking the
'find.' Now, however, comes the govern
ment agcr.t with the Information that the
land belongs to the government, but was
not of the strip opened years ago for set
tlement and therefore not opened for
entry. Whatever funds are derived fro--a
the sale of the land is to go to the Fox
and Sac Indians now on the reservation
near Reserve. Kan.

8TRAXGF.R KILLED BV A THAIS
Body of Unidentified Man Is Found
rir Firth Thla Mornlnsi.
ADAMS, Njb.. Oct. 11. (Special Tele
gram ) The tody of an unidentified man
was found on the tracks of the Burlington
road one and one-half miles east of Firth
this morning. The face had been so
badly mangled that it is- Impossible lo give
a description of the features. He was of
medium size and the fragments of clothing
Indicated that he had been well dressed.
One of his arms had been torn off snd the
body was otherwise bruised and lacer
ated. ( '
It' is Thought that he was struck by the
! Burlington "Flyer" No. 4. about midnight
last night. The coroner was called from
Beatrice and may be able to Identify the
body by papers which may be found in the
torn garments.
An inspection of the tattereS clothing
worn by tho stranger later showed that he
ha1 no papers and a card bearing the name
of J. C. Dawso.-., Lincoln, Neb., was the
only clua to his identity.
Somj doubt is now expressed ns to the
cause o? h! death. The fir.d'ng of bis hnt
half a nil.e west of tl-.e pl.ice where the
body was found leads many to believe that
the man was thrown or fell from Burling
ton train No. 120, which Is a mixed train
reaching Adams about 7 o'clock In the even
ing. Had the body been struck first by the
flyer these people argue. It would have been
carried In another direction from that in
