(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Dec. (Special Tele
gram.) The discontinuance of the McCook
land office and the transfer of the business
of the office to. Lincoln has stirred up con
elderabls trouble for members of congress,
not only from Nebraska, but for representa
tives from other sections of the country.
It appears there are about fourteen land
offices which are scheduled to be eliminated
because they do not produce sufficient reve
nue to warrant their maintenance. The law
provided that In order to maintain a land
office there must be at least 100,000 acres of
land open to settlement, that when the
public land In a given district falls below
100,000 acres the offices of register and re
ceiver shall be abolished. It also provides
that when the receipts of an office do not
'warrant the payment In salaries and fees
of at least one-third of the total collection
such offloe shall be abandoned. During the
last fiscal year JS.HS was , collected from
the sale of public lands at McCook and the
expanses for such collection amounted to
$3,336. On July 1, there was 132,000 acre)
of land In the McCook land district which
;rouId be taken under the homestead lav,
ind -11 .xcept 40,000 acres has been taken,
'and .there practically now remains little or
no bualness for the register and receiver
at McCook, and they will tie obliged to
follow the instructions from W. A. Rich
ards, commissioner of the general land
office, and close tho office January 81.
- It lo thought the land office at Sidney,
.Neb., may be abandoned, as there seems,
according to the officers of the general land
pfllce, no good reason for keeping this office
open. , .
Land la Withdrawn.
On aocount of the Shoshone Irrigation
pro J act Commissioner Richards of the gen
eral land office has Instructed the land offi
cials at Lander, Wyo to withdraw abso
lutely from entry of every character vthe
following land, amounting to 43, 5 JO acres:

presence in the office. Further, that the
record was changed after November 6, 1901,
to show the presence of such coupons.
Further, that the broker In question, who
had lived many years' In Mr. Stueffer's
home town, had never made a bid for a
county bond before Mr. Stueffer went Into
office, nor after the publicity given to the
Burt county bond transaction. There wer
also other Items of Important evidence.
I have been a member of the last two
sessions of the legislature, by the grace of
the people of Burt county, and I know
the character of the men of both sessions.
They were high-minded men, and could I
have stated these matters before the com
mittee and the house, that peculiar report
would never have been made, and If made,
never adopted. That report says (Ignoring
the evidence of what I here state, practi
cally). In effect, that a banker and busi
ness man of twenty-five years' standing, a
present state treasurer, who had previ
ously bought bonds, for his trust, finds all
At once a new peculiar way of computing
Interest, whereby he later Is much sur
prised to find out that he has 3550 more
of attached coupons than he Supposed, (a
most unintended, seriously comical finding).
But he never used the peculiar manner
again, and he did change his record when
the deal was given publicity.
Aaer Responsible for Rottenness.
How do I account for the condition of af
fairs relating to the action of the commit
tee and the house here Indicated? The
other statements would be futile were I to
stop without answering such a question. I
attribute the whole of what Loomls rightly
called In its ecrly stare "rottpnneas" to
the offensive and debasing control assumed
by J. H.; Ager over the affairs of the
organisation. Almost every morning of
the session he was In the speaker's room
with the door shut, from half an hour to
an hour after the convening time of the
house had arrived. When the house at the
commencement of the twenty-eighth ses
sion1 had concluded to name a special rev
enue committee, and some of us were
asked to "onsult In the speaker' room, it
was our friend A-jer that we met princi
pally. When the Lancaster delegation had
agreed to stand for the taxation of ter
minals for city purposes, and a handful of
Lincoln men got together to release them,
the colonel was there and there to bless..
From what I saw and heard. In my opin
ion the whitewash Job was run through
by and under the direction of that grand
old guide, philosopher and friend, J. H.
Ager. His rights and franchises, according
to his understanding and use of them, are
a menace and corrupting Influence to the
state. The committee waa partially named.
In my opinion, because they could be relied
upon at all hazarda, and the others were
misled by their surroundings. If there
Is a public trust that should be safe
guarded, and cared for with scrupulous In
tegrity, It Is the children's school money.
If an Investigation based on what I have
here staled cannot be had without such
Influences turning It into a farce, then
matter re Indeed In a very sorry plight.
I have a copy of the evidence taken at the
Inquiry. Only as a suggestion, I suggest
that not only the matter be Investigated
over again, but that the pretended Investi
gation be Investigated. Perhaps, consider
ing the place I now hold, it may be thought
by some out of place, even the statement
I here make. But were I a member of the
present legislature, and another and out
going member had made such a statement.
It seems to me that I would at least think
It over. At any rate I haVe used but a
sm- " part of the time taken from me, and
I liie some smalt degree of benefit will
result tn the state.
Advice to Coming- Session.
Without reference to the matter hers
mainly referred to, this coming session
Should be the most Independent business
session ever held In the state. There are
an unusually large number of second term
men, and men of longer service even, of
the membership, who can commence almost
where they left off, and much should b
expected p? them.
I sincerely hope that the cry of "Let's
pass tha appropriation bills and adjourn,"
will be stopped. If the party cannot 'at
tempt, at least, to do all that should be
dene, then It should give way to some
other party, that does not. work In fear or
trembling. There should be a stats pri
mary law, and a law requiring that the
record of the purchaae of bonds should
contain all correspondence and all step
leading up to the purchaae. A (weeping
Investigation should be had of the paat, of
the school funds, and of the treasury de
partment, and If additional law should be
passed to safeguard Its funds, then they
hould be passed and rigidly enforced; a
committee of the highest standing should
Inquire Into the respective Values of the
several kinds of property assessed under
the new revenue law throughout the state
and the manner of the law's enforcement.
And one other matter, I believe more im
portant than ail the other, there should
be provision made In the state for the con
finement of young men, who have been
sentenced for felonies, and who are not of
the confirmed criminal olaas, as yet, so that
they shall be kept from Intimate associa
tion with the confirmed criminal classes.

The commission unanimously elected Ad

nakoff, the Rusisen member of the com
mission, and Rear Admiral Sir Lewis A.
Beaumont, Great Britain's representative,
the group of admirals joining In an Infor
mat chat, partly In English and partly In
French. The admirals' and their aides did
not wear uniforms, thus detracting some
what from the expected brilliancy of the
opening session.
Admiral Kaxnakoff, as senior In rank
and age. Invited his colleagues to a private
salon, where he proposed that Admiral
Fournler should preside pending the arrival
of the fifth member of the commission.
Admiral Fournler was unanimously chosen,

ister plenipotentiary of France, was se

accompanied by his aides, also in uniform.
The interview wn a brief and formal ex
change of amenities, the president express
ing his pleasure at the fact that the United
State waa represented on the commission.
Dispatches from Rojestvensky.
BORDEAUX, France, Dec. 22.-Four
Russian naval officers bearing dispatches
from Vice Admiral Rojestvensky have ar
rived here on board the Messagerie's mar
itime packet. Lieutenant Valrond of the
torpedo ship Kamchatka was Interviewed
and aaid he waa Conveying to Emperor
Nicholas the reports of the commander
of the warships that wrs present at the
Dogger bank' Incident, together with Vice
Admiral Rojestvenaky'a report. He also
wo taking for Investigation by the inter
national commission at Paris the tapes of
the wireless instruments showing the mes
sages that were exchanged between vessels
of the Baltic squadron at the time of fir
ing upon the Gamecock fishing fleet. Lieu
tenant Valrond saws he worked the search
lights aboard the Kamchatka and that his
saw plainly two four-funnelled torpedo
boats, their color being dirty gTay, whereas
the Russian torpedo boats were bluck.
When he perceived these boats pursuing
the squadron the order to fire waa given. .
All-are Torpedo Boato Were Present.
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 22. According
to a local puper a number of English fish
ermen have appeared before ihe Russian
conaul in London and have deposed to hav
ing seen foreign torpedo boats aomng the
Hull Ufhlng fleet Their depositions, it 1
added .will be submitted to the interna
tional commission now in Paris, the cir
cumstances under which they were ob
tained being explained.
Fishermen May Testify for Russia.
LONDON, Dec. 22. The publication in St.
Petersburg of the statement that the Hull
flshremen have voluntarily deposed that
forelg ntorpedo boats were among the traw
lers off Dogger bank when the latter were
fired upon by ships of, the Russian Baltic
squadron Is probably nothing more than a
repetition of similar statements emanating
from Hull and appearing In London papers
the last few days. These are circumstan
tial and it would certainly appear to be true
that some men of the gamecock fleet have
made statements before the Russian con
sul . The name of only one of these
has been revealed. He Is the boatswain
o fthe trawler Ava, and he said today that
he was induced to make the statement
while he was intoxicated. He admits he
received a certain amount of money, but
now says the statement he made Is untrue.
The tenor of his statement or any others
has never been revealed. . All published re
ports fro tnliull say possibly that these
statements were secured by two agents of
the Russian government, but the Russian
embassy in Loudon repeats the denial made
to the Associated Press on December 21,
saying that there Is absolutely no truth
In the statement that the Russian govern
ment In any way or anyone delegated by
Russia 'has been endeavoring to secure
statements from the gamecock fishermen
In support of Russia's position before th
Paris commission. It was pointed out, how
ever, that although Russia "had offered are
ward for information the Russian govern
ment was not responsible for the course
of any person desiring to secure the reward.
It was positively stated that the embassy
ha no knowledge and no information tend
ing to support the report of the St. Peters
burg paper alluded to.
The sensational press of England directly
charges the Russian government with un
derhand means, by bribery and Intoxication,
to secure false statements from men of the
gamecock fishing fleet. The Russian con
sul at Hull tonight said the boatswain of
the Ava was brought to his office, but that
he sent him to the commissioner of oaths,
where, th consul says, the boatswain
the trawler. Th consul says he knows
other trawlers who are ready to make sim
ilar statements, hut they are afraid of teh
consequences. Th consul Indignantly de
nies that he has made any attempt to In
due fishermen to make statement. He
saya that when Informed of the nature
of the statement the boatswain of the Ava
Intended to make It wa duty to hi govern
ment to render every assistance.
Altogether an air of mystery surrounds
th matter, but no credence In responsible
quarters I given to the allegation that un
fair method have been used by the Rus
sian government.
On explanation of th matter emanates
from Paris, where It la atatsd that two
reporter of the . Petit Partalenns visited
Hull In order to Interview men of th game
cock fleet and secure Information concern
ing the Dogger bank afTalr. As nons of th
newsnatier rertresentatlves assume to Iden
tify the "agents" as Russians, but de
scribed as being foreigners employed by
th RllORian rnvarnment ' this la the TTlOit
probable explanation, which, however, may
possibly nave a sequel In the testimony De-
fore the International tribunal at Pans.

Why, dyspepsia is really a starvation dis

By starvation, you may give your bowels
and kidneys loss to do, but that does not

you weaker and sicker Usa likely to be

No, the only right way to permanently
cure yourself of any form of dyspepsia or

PATTERSON JURY STILL OUT
Ho Verdict Ssaobsd Up to Ili30 aid it
W$ Locked Up for the Night.
RUMOR THAT NINE MEN PAYOR ACQUITTAL
Great Crows' Staada Aboat the Con
Hoase I'atll It Is Aaaoanred
that Conr Had Adjooraed
latll Today.
NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-The Jury In the
Nan Patterson case was locked up at 11:26
tonight, not having reached a verdict. At
It o'clock the announcement came from
the Jury room that no decision had been
arrived at and Immediately following
statement that Judge Davis would give the
Jury another half hour before locking them
up.
The hope of a verdict wa dispelled, how
ever, when a few minute before 11:30
Captain Lynch of the court squad said
that "It was all off," and the Jury would
be locked up for the night.
Miss Patterson heard the news In the
"pen" and It, waa so unexpected to her
that she came near to collapse.
It was understood that the Jury would
continue consideration of the case In the
small Jury room containing only a few
tables and chairs and the Jurors will have
no opportunity to sleep unless they can
nap In the small chairs.
As soon as the Jury was locked up for the
night. Miss Patterson bade her father a
tearful farewell and was escorted from the
"pen" In the court building to her cell In
the tombs. The girl who showed such
courage through the long trial is almost a
nervous wreck. The great strength she
formerly evinced has failed and she re
peatedly exclaimed, "Oh, how can those
men doubt my word."
Conrt to Coavene at lOi.tO.
There will be no opportunity of hearing
from the jury again until 10:80 a. tn. to
morrow, the Tlour fixed by the court for a
report from the twelve men who are to de
cide the fate of the girl. Immediately after
the Jury waa locked up for the night, offi
cers cleared the corridor of the court
building of scores of newspaper, men and
attorneys who had anxiously awaited news
from the Jury. Murmurs of disappoint
ment were heard from the crowd, which
seemed convinced that the Jury would never
reach a decision. The latest rumor from
the Jutsy room wa that three men were
holding out against nine, who desired to
acquit the defendant. It wa reported that
the three Juror were at odds as to the
seriousness -of the crime. One Juror is
holding out for conviction for murder In
the second degree, and two others are re
ported to favor manslaughter In the sec
ond degree.
One rumor was so definite that It named
a Juror, who had asked If he might fire the
revolver, as ths man who Is holding out
for the conviction of Mlas Patterson of
murder (n the second degree.
Disappointed crowds In the street heard
of the locking up of the Jury for the night
and Joined In the wall of the persons who
had been privileged to stand In the court
building during the deliberations of the
Juror. A few women, were in the crowd
which stood In White street and watched
the window of the Jury room until the an
nouncement was made that ths twelve men
must spend the night In deliberation.
Jary Goes to Supper.
"That Jury will never agree" was the
verdict of scores of men who followed the
ury to a neighboring cafe at 7:30 for din
ner. As they filed back Into the Jury room
after dinner there was silence throughout
the great building and gloom Seemed to

CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 22. Dr. Leroy S.
Chadwlck and his wife, Mrs. Cassle I
Chadwlck, were Jointly Indicted by the

charge of having forged and uttered a
J5.000.000 note bearing the alleged signature
of Andrew Carnegie.
Dr. Chadwlck Is now on his way to New

was returned Sheriff Barry of this county
made arrangements to secure Dr. C'had
wick'a extradition. He will meet the

This Is the third time Mrs. Chadwlck has
been Indicted by the county grand Jury,
but It is the first instance of her hus
band's name appearing in legal proceed
ings in the case.
The indictments returned against Mrs.
Chadwlck are similar to the one voted to

asked only If there had been any one elso
indicted, mentioning the name of a person
who has figured in the esse to some ex
tent. She declined to make any comment,
saying: . . ;
It will do me no good to discuss my af
fairs in the newspapers. There has been
so much misrepresentation that I have de
cided to do no further talking and 1 am
also acting on the advice of my uttorney in
this respect.
"Thereare many things which Dr. Chad'
wick will have to explain and I hope he
will do so," said Prosecutor Keeler this
afternoon. "Dr. and Mrs. Chadwlck may
be tried on the Indictment separately or
together. Each has a right to trial alngly
If it Is desired. The Jurors will finish their
work Saturday. The Chadwlck Investlga
gation, so far as this Jury is concerned. Is
ended, but I cannot say that this concludes
our Inquiries Into this matter. It Is possi
ble that there may be other developments."
