complaint of losses are made to him. He

Checking of Kchool trlatrlr-t Affairs
by Sew Treasurer.
ffNEILU Neb., Jan. , (Special.) Quit
a aensation was sprung here today, when
it was discovered the Indebtedness of the
O'Neill school district amounted to ap
proximately 123,000. When Dr. J. P. Gllll-g-an
was elected treasurer to succeed Ber
nard McQreevy he asked J. F. Gallagher,
assistant cashier of the PI rut National
bank, to check over the books and deter
mine the Indebtedness of the district. Mr.
Gallagher finished his report today and re
ports that the amount of registers war
ranto, including Interest, amounts to 322,
994.KL When Mr. Nelll Brennan of the'
board was anked Jiow much the school dis
trict owed be said perhaps about 34,600.
Mr. G. W, Smith, the secretary of the
board, said he supposed it was about
IS. 000.
Mr. Smith was asked If this would add
anything to the amounts now charged vp
to McGreevy, but he said it would not. cs
there was nothing to be gained by him by
reporting a less number of warrants. Mr.
Smith says it Is another case of "what's
everybody's business is nobody's business,"
that the business affairs had been carried
on loosely and the district hid become
Involved In debt to a greater degree than
anyone expected. Mr. Smith further says
that the income Is now about equal to the
outlay and that the district pas power to
Increase the levy, and sees no reason for
crippling the schools on account of the in
debtedness being greater than exputed.

ington as has been drawn to the capital
by reason of the American Forest con
gress, which convened today. Railrcad
men, professors of agricultural colbges,
lawyers, real estate men and plain business
men make up a highly interesting congress
looking to legislation Tor conserving the
great interests of reserve forests of the
country. From Nebraska comes General
Charles F. Mandcrson and General Mans
ger George W. Holdrcge cf the Burlington,
Land Commissioner B. A. McAllaater and
C. E. Want land, general saues airerit of
the Union Pacific, General Manager George
F. Bidwell of the Northmcstern. W. H.
Mast of liaise y and Prof. Frank G. Miller
cf Lincoln. Wyoming Is represented by
T. A. Cosgtiff of Cheyenne, Csptain L G.

At the session today ex-Senator Mandcr
son was called upon for a short address
of welcome, Incident to which he made a
brief address favoring the purposes of the
congress as they relate to railroads and
ail other industries.
B. A. McAUaster of the Vnion Pacific, In
"-peaking of the purposes of tfce meeting,
said the railroads were generally In favor
of the conservation of forert reserves, but
believed that the creation of such reserves
should be most carefully looked into, for
it meant much not only to the sheep grow
ers and cattle raisers and especially in the
m'estern country, but to the very principles
of citizenship as well.
Baga-eat a ew C-oert.
Senator and Miss Millard arrived In
Washington last night. Today Senator Mil
lard had his first Interview mith Francis E.
Leupp, commissioner of Indian affairs, and
presented to him letters from the super
intendent of the Winnebago Indian reserva
tion, together with letters from Judge
Munger and District Attorney Baiter,
favoring the creation of courts in the
Omaha and Winnebago reservations to try
petty offenses snd bresrhes of law, as
bootlegging, etc., in these courts, thereby
relieving the federal court at Omaha from
the trial of these causes.
Senator Millard stated frankly that he
had not examined Into the manner through
which these courts were te be created, but
he assumed that It would require legisla
tion by congress. It was for that purpose
that be left these letters with Commis
sioner Leupp. requesting an opinion upon
the advisability and practicability of such
court, or courts, as contemplated.
The senator stated that while in Omaha
during the holiday recess he went throuph
the government building and found a con
dition of affairs that was most Intolerable.
There were many Indians, squaws and jap-
poosea slttiDg about the corridors maiting
to be called as witnesses in bootlegging
cases and be felt that something ought to
be done to correct this practice, and as the
fedoral court at Omaha is overcrowded
with cases he took up the matter of the
creation of some petty courts on the "Omaha
and Winnebago reservation, so that it
might relieve Judge Munger's court of
trivial cases.

The senate adjourned till 11 a, m. Wednes
day snd the house at 1:30 took recess till
S p. m. today.
Reports Mnpplles.
The house re-convened at 3:40. A report
from Secretary of State Marsh, submitting
sn Inventory of the legislative property left
over from last session and another one on
new supplies, were read and filed. Secre
tary Marsh -also reported that the Board
of Public Lands and Buildings had let a
contract for 3rt0 bill covers at U-50 each;
that the State Printing board had con
tracted for the printing of fX legislative
bills at 11.44 a page; bill titles, 80(1, for 87"
wilts a page, or bn at 50 cents a page. The
price for bills Is an Increase of 10 cents
over the price of tmo years ago. while the
price on bill titles is reduced 60 and 80 cents.
At this Juncture arose a debate, the first
of the session, precipitated when Casebeer
of Gage submitted a resolution providing
for requisition blanks on which all mem
bers should be required to make out their
demands for supplies.
Jouvenat of Boone was first to take ex
ceptions to the resolution.
"Mr. Speaker," said Jouvenat, 'I would
like to ask what has been the custom; have
the members of this house been abusing
these privileges tliat this resolution Is nec
essary 7"
"I can only answer for myself," replied
Speaker Rouse, "1 have not. Have youT"
"So. sir," rejoined Jouvenat, "I have not,
nor do I believe any members have. I be
lieve this resolution is unnecessary and a
reflection upon this house and the chief
clerk."
Burns of Ijmcaster slso objected on the
same grounds to tho resolution.
"It this house pass such a resolution
and it will go ft broad that we realize our
selves that wo cannot be trusted and need
guarding. It may not have been so in
tended by the gentleman from Gage, but
It mill look mighty bad In print."
Cunningham of Hamilton manted to knom
the purpose of the resolution and so did
Gerdes of Richardson, mho, however, was
favjrable to the resolution.
Motive of Mellon.
"It's for the purpose of having business
transacted on a business basis," declared
Casebeer. "That's all there is to It; no
motive or Intention of reflecting discredit
upou any member of the house as a mhole
Is Intended, but me should keep tab on
what we do and what supplies each mem
ber gets."
Barns then went into detail to explain
that the supplies the members could get
were not of any value except Just aa sup
plies to be needed there in the house
"The only things me could carry away

Casebeer said something about extra sup

said he couldn't see how such a thing
could be.
A vote finally disposed of the resolution.

Foster stirred things Just a little by of
fering a resolution providing for the ap
