i he false and malicious libel of and con
rning the said Timothy J. Mahoney in
tenor, purport and effect as follows, to-wit:
tight years ago the whole state was
: hocked to learn that trie state treasurer
Had embessled over Ifioo.ono of public
oonles, of which about $100,000 were school
i'unds. The defaulter was tried and con
victed In this county (meaning . Douglas
county), and the brunt of the battle to
iiHng about the enforctment of the law
"gain devolved upon The Bee and myself
with very little, If any, aid from anybody
fonnected with the Civic Federation. In
i hat memorable battle (meaning the prose
cution and trial of the said state treasurer)
Hie president of the Civic Federation
i meaning the said Timothy J. Mahonev)
waa one of the attorneys for the defense,
.ind a report which has recently reached
me credits him (meaning the said Timothy
J. Mahoney) with collecting about (6.000
f I. O. U's., (meaning thereby promissory
notes or written promises to pay money)
placed In his hands (meaning thereby the
'lands of the said Timothy J. Mahoney)
li" the great treasury embezzler (meaning
hereby one Joseph S. Bartley, former state
'reasurer of the state of Nebraska) before
(meaning the said Joseph 8. Bartley)
vas sent to the penitentiary. This story
'meaning thereby the sum- of about 15.000,
tated and alleged by the said Edward
Ilcsewster to have been collected by the
?ald Timothy J. Mahoney from the said
1. O. U's.) It Is reported was duly collected
nd appropriated (meaning thereby that the
uld Timothy J. Mahoney had collected and
ecelved Into his possession and custody
he sum of about, Js.000. In payment of cer
tain I. O. TT's. or promises to pay money
"nd appropriated the same to the use of
Mm. the said Timothy J. Mahoney), al
though the amount Is about $4,600 In excess
of the attorney's fee to which the col
lector (meaning the said Timothy J. Ma
honey) was entitled (meaning thereby that
he, the said Timothy J. Mahoney, an at
'orney at law, had collected or a client
the sum of about 16,000 and nad unlawfully
"mbazsled and approorlated to his own use
he sum of about $4,600 of Md collection).
To my mind such a state or affairs (mean
Sin thereby the alleged commission of the
"rime of embezzlement by the said Timo
thy J. Mahoney, an attorney at law). Is
iuch more appalling than anything that
hat happened in the Dennlson case.
Basse Old Farce,
"The' same old farce." said Mr. Rose
vater on learning of the Mahoney trick.
"Why am I hauled up before this court
when Mahoney knows Judge Vinsonhaler
lo be personally unfriendly to me? And
why does he go into the county court at
sil, when he knows It is not Intended for
criminal practica? It's the same old trick
to try to annoy and discredit me when I
tm busy with my own affairs trying to
Interrupt me,-knowing the case never will
dome to trial.
"Furthermore, it seems passing strange
'hat Mr. Mahoney has only decided at this
late date to go into court over something
that happened four and a half months ago.
Has: he been cogitating over It all this
ilme?"

SEED CORN SPECIAL ON TOUR
Large Crowds Visit the Oars at Each of the
Stopping Places.
EXPERTS TELL H0WT0 SELECT GOOD SEEDS
Necessary to Secure Grain Which
Yields the Largest Amoont of
Grain as Welt as that Which
Will Germinate.
An innovation in railroad enterprise has
been undertaken by the Burlington to in
crease the yield of corn per acre Ir. Ne
braska. Acting In conjunction with the De
partment of Agriculture of the University
of Nebraska, the Burlington is sending over
the state a train known aa "The Seed Corn
Special," having on board a party of scien
tists who explain how to select seed corn
from which the best results may be ob
tained. The train, which made its Initial
trip on Wednesday, Is now touring the
state and will stop at nearly every station
on that road In Nebraska.
Every farmer cannot find time to attend a
farmer's institute and the Burlington has
decided to send the Institute to the farmer.
The train left Lincoln at 6:50 o'clock for
Schuyler, where the first lecture waa de
livered. The train was made up of two
private cars and two coaches, and was In
charge of W. H. Manss, Industrial commis
sioner for the Burlington, who looked after
the comfort of those on board. Besides
the scientists, on the rolling agricultural
school were newspaper representatives and
a number of railroad officials. Stops of
half an hour were made at each pi the
stations passed and the day coaches were
used for lecture rooms. An address was
made In each of the coaches at the same
time.
The Interest manifested In the lectures
was evident In the large audiences which
everywhere met tha train. Farmers came on
horseback. In wagons and occasionally In
automobiles from distances of over twenty
miles. In many cases they brought with
them defective ears of corn to ascertain
the trouble with the grain. These faults
and the best way to obviate them were
cheerfully and carefully explained.
Those on the train were: W. H. Manss,
industrial commissioner of the Burlington;
O. V. Ober, secretary to Mr. Manss; Profs.
T. L. Lyon, 8. Avery, A. L. Hecker and E.
C. Montgomery of the agrlcultral depart

of the Burlington: H. N. Wilson, train

banna. Instructor In farm crops for the
University of Illinois, joined the party at
Ashland.
Methods Are Illustrated.
The lecture coaches were liberally sup
plied with charts, maps and photographs
and samples of corn In order to Illustrate
the best method of selecting corn for plant
ing. Owing to the short stops made It was
possible to touch only the more Important
points, but it Is safe to assert that those
who visited the train were well repaid for
their trouble.
The addresses of all the lecturers were
along the same lines and this was with re
gard to the selection of seed, corn that will
Increase the yield per acre In Nebraska.
The principal point made was the seleo
tlon of cylindrical ears with deep kernels.
so shaped that they will not allow space
near the tops of the rows nor near the cob.
It was explained that as in the case of
rattle there Is a hereditary tendency In
grain, so that like produces like. It was
shown that In experimenting nearly the
same tactics are employed as would be the
case In producing thoroughbred cattle. As
one of the professors put it, "You can't get
good corn from scrub seed any more than
you can get thoroughbred cattle from In
ferior or scrub breeds."
One of the strongest object lessons made
was with a full; cylindrical ear of corn and
one that tapers at the end. "It Is easy
enough to comprehend," said the speaker,
"that an acre of these tapering ears can't
yield as much corn as one of the cylindrical
ears." He also explained that the roughest
ears of the same kind of corn have more
vitality and are better germlnatora than
smooth ears of any particular kind.
"Hers are two ears. Originally both had
the same circumference on the outside,
but in one ear the kernels are very shallow
while In the other the kernels are full and
deep. In one case you have a great deal
Of cob while In the other you have very
little cob. Here Is an enlarged photograph,"
said ths speaker, pointing to a chart, "in
which the kernels come together st thu
middle, but leave a good deal of space top
and bottom. Well, you can't sell space
and It won't weigh anything. You can't
get any money for space. What you want
is corn. See to It then that you pick out
corn that has full, deep kernels that set
close together top and bottom. See to it
too that you get ears where the stem Is
not so small that'll Is going to be broken
oft too easily. This butt, you will notice.
Is not a good one. ' Tha stem is too small.
On this ear it Is too large. It breaks off
too hard. Get an ear with a stem between
the two."
Largest Crowd at Plattsmonth.
The largest audience of the day was at
riattsmouth, where over 200 people visited
the train. Thirteen stops were made and
the average attendance was about 150,
which comfortably filled the cars. At
Pluttsmouth people had lo stand up In the
aisles and the deepest interest was mani
fested in the lectures. - The train will be
out on the road for the rest of the week
und for two days of next week.
Thursday morning the train will start
from Seward and make the following stops.

LOVE DR0VEHIM TO STEAL
Affection for Woman, Station Agent
Admits, . Forced Him to
Take Money.
LEXINGTON, Neb.. Dec. 14.-(Speclal.)
G. H. May. Union Pacific agent at this
place, has made a confession To Special
Agent Vizard "of the railroad, who came
here from Omaha to investigate the alleged
robbery of the station last Sunday night.
May now acknowledges that the station
was not robbed at all, but that he merely
made a report to that effect to cover up
an amount of money he took from the
company's funds, to says Special Agent
Vlxard. j
Mr. Visard says the nature of the agent's
report and his sctlons when being ques
tioned on the matter aroused suspicion.
The special agent stayed several hours
with the young agert and finally secured
a confession of the whole transaction from ;
May. j
May, who Is but 22 years of sge, says a
woman Is at the bottom of his troubles.
She Is now at Hot Springs, Ark., and muah
in need of money, so May could not re- -lit
the temptation of taking S6u from
the money drawer and sending In the rob
bery report. May agreed to accompany
Special Agent Vizard to Omaha to have the ,
matter straightened out. J
Special Agent Vizard was seen at the j
polite station and he said the facts of the
case are as reported. May came to
Omaha, but it Is not believed he will be
prosecuted, as ths money shortage has
been made up.
