BERNARD M'GREEVEY SIGNED DOCUMENT Feists of DifTereaee Between Retarat ta Board aad Statement lasseel hr Him oa HI Depart a re from Home. (From a Staff Correspondent.) , LINCOLN, Nov. J6. (Bpeclal.) State Bank Examiner Fred Whltmore left last night for O'Neill to make an examination of the Elk horn Valley bank, that cloned Its doors yesterday morning. Members of the State Banking: board and Secretary Royce wera greatly surprised at the re ceipt of news of the failure, as the sworn statement of the president of the bank, Bernard McQreevey, filed last August, no-wed the bank to be In good condition. Tha statement conflicts with the state ment Mr. McGreevey had published this morning. In the published statement Mr. McGreevey said he had given a note for S.000 to tha bank In 1W2, while In his sworn statement filed In August he said the bank waa carrying only f$ tlx months past due, and only IDSO worth of paper under six months and over thirty days past due. Tha stockholders, he swore In that state ment, were liable for only H.000. Tha bank waa examined by Fred Whlt mora last December, and at that time there seamed to be nothing wrong In Its condi tion. It had not been examined Bin re be cause it was not under suspicion, and tha law does not require an examination oft ener than once a year. It H not known for how" much the bank has fulled nor will It be known until Mr. Whitmcre makes his report to the Stale Hanking board, which will be several days yet. Neither Treas urer Mortensen nor Secretary Royce thought the failure would In any way effect the state at large, though, naturally, In the vicinity of O'Neill considerable ex citement would result. The sworn state ment signed by President MeUreevey filed last August Is as follows: RESOURCES.

Former Senator Aln, attorn y for the Krug Brewing company In a case In which his briefs were stricken from the records ! and,h was roundly censured by the su preme court at Its last sJitlng for the con-i tents of the brief, today filed a motion to have the case reinstated and the re.ords expunged. In hia brief the ex-senator brings to bear on the court all the sar casm for which he is t.oted, and he explalna In detail the origin and meaning of some of the statements to which the court took exception. In part he said: Respecting the brief which was stricken from the files, we have to say that we have likewise reread It and In our Juugme.it Its chief fault is In Its laudatory c.Riac.er, dui we nave yet to tearn mat lauoa.ion is disagreeable; but wtun the references are understood we think the court will con- ' elude there is nothing offensive In th m.

It WaS an rlh bull. " v The reference to Lord Glonvlll's De Legl bus, we think the court will find not of fensive. De leglbus Is m rely a, compila tion of some of the laws of early England.

After explaining In detail to the court ho origin of many of the quotations he used, Senator Allen ha tils to say: After carefully re-examining the brief the only thing we find at wh ch the court could take umbrage is on p. tee it, where. In speaking of the cimml s onr Ign ulng t lie rule In Pyle against Warren. 2 Neb. 201. we say: "But this wa befo e the splendid Intellectual genius and profound learning of the commissioner Illumined with unusual br't'iancy the darkest re . ceSfS and caverns of Jurlsprudeno ."

For most all forms of sickness start In the same way. The nervue are weak. Not the nerves that govern your movements and your thoughts. But the nerves that, ungulded and un known, night and day, keep your heart In motion control your digestive appmutJ rgulte yourllver operate your kidneys. These are the nerves that wear out and brak, down. Tt doe no good to treat the ailing; organ the Irregular heart the disordered llvrr the retx-ll.oua stomuch the deranged kid neys. They are not to blame But go back to the ntrvw that control them. There you will rind' the seat of the trouble. There is nothing new about this Aotbing any iihysli-ian would dispute.

Dr. Shoop's tensen said todnay that It waa useless to make recommendations while tha con stitution remained as It Is, cons-qently he would not take the time to tell the legislature or the governor what ought to be done. Mr. Mortensen Is handling the money that comes into his office aa though one dollar was sa good as another, and he has received more compliments on his conduct of the office than any other treas urer ever did. f Hubbard Ciete Good Place.

Nov. 26.-(Spe-clal.) The citizens of Piattsmouth read in The Omaha Bee this morning that "Ac cording to the opinion- oj Attorney General Prout those county treasorers who are ac cepting a portion of the taxes assessed against railroad companies, even under protest, are violating the law. Mr. Prout believes the county treasurer should col lect all of the taxes at once or none." Cass county's attorney, Jesse L. Root, in a written opinion to County Treasurer W. D. Wheeler, in answer to the same ques tion, wrote: "You are advised to receive said money and receipt as part payment of their- taxes for this year. The tender t not In payment of the tax, but on ac count: the receipt by you will not preJudiAe the rights of the authorities to collect the remainder. On the other hand, a refusal to accept will place the county where it will be out of the use of the money offered un til the end of the litigation with the rail road company." Complying with the above opinion, County Treasurer Wheeler accepted from R. W. Pollard, tax agent, the sum of $15, 571.63, leaving a balance due from the Bur lington company of $3,67101, the amount of taxes due for 1904.
