It l.i eul.l thai letters have hern rent out hy two kail nft democrat, one of them W. H. Thompson of (Irand Island, railing upon all drmocrats of Nebraska to grit their teeth and say nothinn wlieneve they think of th condition of thlnus as it now exists and the luck of harmony at Washington which is keeping dem ocrats from getting the Jobs. Orders have been Issued that whenever a crowd if the faithful find that they can no longer hold In, they shall post scouts around the outposts and give warning of the approach of any news paper man or other person who might be Interested In the situation from an anti-democratic standpoint. Charles iir-tm Roaitrd, It is ald that one valiant democrat who had much to do with the success it the democratic state ticket this year, after swelling around for a week, holding In the besi he knew how, finally made a rush for the Commoner office and ex ploded. The things which were hurled at the skull cap of I'rlnce Charlie liryan (and some of them. It is said, took ef fect) would have put the combined Ger man and allied armies to flight. At the close of the discussion the disagreement had not been fixed up, the dove of peace was still madly beating at the window In an attempt to get away and the afore mentioned prominent democrat slid down the banisters and hiked into the pres ence of our old friends Tom and Jerry and tried to forget that Washington was on the map. Notes from Beatrice And Gage County BEATRICE, Neb.. Pec. 22. (Special) A young farmer named Van Hook lost a portion of his left arm In a gasoline en gine west of Odell Monday while grinding sorghum.

LINCOLN. Pec. 12. (Special Telegram.) -John CS Byrnes of .Columbus, on whom all eyes are turned at the present tfroe because of the supplying of his name In place of Chris Gruenther by Senator Hitchcock for the appointment of Inter nal revenue collector for Nebraska, called at the office of Governor Morehead this afternoon. ' Mr. Byrnes would talk little about the matter., saying he knew nothing about It and was not a candidate. However, he would not deny that he would accept If the two powers that would be should unite In his recommendation to the presi dent for the lob. In the minds of many Lincoln demo crats, the substitution of the name of Byrnes had "not helped the matter any, as Mr. Bryan can bring the same Jiargea against him that he haa against Gruen ther, the two having worked harmoni ously together along the same lines which has brought 60 much opposition from Mr. Ilrvan.

BrlleTns la Giving- State Board of Control Lamp 8am for Salaries and Maintenance of State Institutions ' . (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Dec. 22. -(Special.) In his report filed with the governor this morning State Auditor V. B. Howard advocates a central station in the state house from which all supplies of stamps shall be issued upon requisition made by the department desiring them. He be lieves a better method should be used regarding payment of salaries and that it Is necessary that more equalizing of the same be mado. He urges that In reports of oommlsslons and reports of state departments before stating the number of copies to be printed the legis lature should consult with the .depart ments and commissions and no more copies be printed than are actually needed.. He requests that a better method be used In issuing vouchers and that the department using vouchers should be re quired to pay for the voucrers used In stead of having the auditor's office fur nish and pay for all vouchers used by the other departments. He does not be lieve In an employe drawing two salaries and recommends when an employe is working for the state at a stated salary that they be not allowed to draw extra pay from another department for work done. Lnnip Sains for State Board. He recommends also the appropriation of a lump aum for the use of the Board of Control for the payment of salaries and maintenance at state institutions and that no personal bonds be accepted by the state, as now is the case, arid that the state pay the premium on all bonds. He believes the custom of allow ing female attendants to accompany fe male prisoners to the state institutions U all right, but there Is no law cover ing that proposition and he believes such j provision should be made. I Heretofore examinations of county treasurers were made about once In ! twenty-two months. The present au- j ditor haa brought the examinations to about once in twelve months, and iie be lieves an additional examiner should be employed for a portion of the time. Dur ing the last year members of the office force and the auditor, himself, have been assisting In the examinations. Insane Accoants. Speaking of the old insane accounts, the auditor says: "When we assumed the duties of this office there was duo the state from va rious counties the sum of $36,22. SS for care of their insane previous to 11, when the present law became effective. Why former state auditors made no effort to collect this we are unable to say. We Immediately proceeded to collect this principal and have up to November 80, 1SH4, collected, had levies made or prom ised by resolutions of the various county boards to the amount of $C1,149.60. Of the balence unadjusted $6,139. 16 Is represented by two suits now pending in the supreme court and payment of the balance of $i8, 844.13 will likely be arranged by the va rious county boards owing same during the month of December. Five counties only refused to either psy or make a levy and against these five counties I started suit for recovery. Since starting suit two counties have made par tial payment and agreed to make levy to pay the balance. Another county ' has advised me officially that they will make levy and the three suits will be dismissed without prejudice upon the payment of accrued costs. I do not know whether the legislature has the power to authorize the cancella tion of the Interest charges, but If so and It sees fit to do so the various counties will. I believe, each willingly pay the principal in full, even those counties that aro now resisting action In the court. I beg to advise also that several coun ties have overpaid in the total amount of a trifle over $(X10, and I suggest that the legislature pnss an act to reimburse each county for the amount o ftho overpay ment as shown by our books. I nralled for Warrants. In the custody of the auditor are old warrants unpaid and uncalled for In the amount of $3,516.60, divided among 84S dif ferent people. Most of these are old wolf bounty claims, and all effort to lo cate the owners has been unavailing. The auditor recommends that the warrants he cancelled and the books relegated to the dump heap so that the room they are now taking may be utilized. The auditor expects that a small defl clency may exist at the end of the mien nlum In the office expense fund. This is due to the Increased business of the stats and to the Increase In many things con nected with the office. For Instance, 10,000 more warrants have been Issued this W enmum man curing the preceding one, and the issue of bonds haa Increased 40 per cent, necessitating more work and attendant expense.
