TEAR A PAPER FAMINE.
Low Water Principally to l!iuo for tl e
Groat Stnrclly.
CHICAGO, Nov. 25. Famine threat
ens tho paper trado and butchers and
bakers nro mcdltutlng the offering of
r. rebnto for the return of the yellow
and brown wrappings In which their
wares aro delivered to their customers.
Low water In the streams which sup
ply tho paper mills, Is, according to Ed
gnr A. Hall of tho Hanchett Ppjt
company, 11 and 13 LaSalle street, tho
causa of tho scarcity, which Is oeii
moro alarming in Now England and
the middle Atlantis states than It is
In tho west. All grndes and qualities
of papers, from tho most delicate tis
sue In which millinery confections aro
sent homo to their purchasers to tnc
rough brown fiber sheets In which cor
ner grocers wrap salt mackerel, have
advonced in price 30 or 40 par cent
within tho Inst thirty days, and deatcrs
nnd Jobbers fight for the chance to buy
oven at advanced rates.
Tho smaller Jobbers In paper nro be
ginning to dread being forced out of
business becauso of tholr inability to
furnish tho oupplles their customers
require. Tho demand for paper, ac
cording to Mr. Hall, Is unusually lirgo
this autumn, nnd tho drought has re
duced many of tho great mills to six
and eight hours' work daily, although
their contracts and tho Jobs In sight
would test tholr capacity oven though
they wero running twenty-four hours
a day.
Tho Wisconsin mills, among which
tho factories at Manasha, Applctor. nnd
Marinette nre tho most important m
tho west, refuso to accept orders for do
livery before Jnnuary 1, 1000, and come
decllno to entortnln contracts calling
for deliveries within four months. To
the drought difficulty somo of tho Wis
consin mills hnvo added tho scarcity
of timber for their pulp mills.
Tho famine Is likely to nffect somo
of tho smaller newspapers, which de
pend for their supply of sheets on tho
Jobbers. Tho Now York, Boston nnd
St. Louis wholesalers quoto prices on
hundrcd-rcnm lotB very reluctantly,
and across tho faco of their lettcro Ih
stamped tho warning, "All prices and
quotations aro mado subject to chnngo
without notice." Carload lots, oven in
tho coarser fibers and mnnllns, nro not
to bo had at any price, nnd Chicago
dealers who mado contracts with local
packers and department storcB for Oc
tober deliveries early In August arc
still furnishing their patrons with
dally supplies in wagon loads.

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 25. Governor
Poyntcr has been subjected to somo
criticism concerning tho wording of his
Thanksgiving proclamation, nnd re
cently tho following request from tho
New York World asking for nn ex
planation was received at tho executive
office:
Hon. W. A. Poynter, Governor of Ne
braska, Lincoln: In your Thanksgiv
ing proclamation you nro quoted ns us
ing theso words, "Lest wo forget and
lust of power causes us to forget tno
exalted mission of the republic und
government of tho people, for tho pec
plo and by tho pooplo perish from us."
Will you oblige tho World by wiring
In 300 words your views on tho Phil
ippines; whether this hnH direct refer
ence thereto. THE WORLD.
Governor Poynter replied as followo:
Now York World, New York City:
Replying to your inquiry, would cay
your telegram quotes mo lncornctly.
My Thanksgiving proclamation says,
"Acknowledging with grateful hearts
His guiding hand in our growth to our
present greatness, let us seek His aid
lest wo become proud, and n lust uf
power catiso us to forget tho exalte J
mission of tho republic and a 'govern
ment of tho people, by tho people and
for tho people' perish from the earth.''
I was led to embody this thought
from tho tendency manifested In ex
pressions und writings of many able
men In tho nation who advocate tho
doctrlno of a colonial policy and n
largo Btandlng army, cither of which is
contrary to tho fundamental Idea of
our republic. The expressed determ
ination to subjugato the people of tno
Philippines and treat with them after
ward scemB to mo tho policy of nn cm
plro rather than of a republic.
A government which "derives its
Just powers from tho consent of tho
governed" cannot hold a people in sub
jection by forco. I boliovo In tho God
of Nations. I believe In His overrul
ing provldeneco In tho establishment
of our government founded upon tno
doctrlno of equal rights. Wo may
contlnuo to nsk His guldanco as a na
tion so long ns wo nt..iero to tho prin

Ho gnvo our fathers His aid. Forsak

BANK'S ASSETS WILL BE SOLD.
Supreme Court Assures tho German Snv
lugs That It Is Insolvent.
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 25. In tho
caso of tho state of Nebraska against
tho Gorman Savings bank of Omuha,
tho supremo court holds that tho order
appointing a receiver for tho defendant
constituted an adjudication that tho
corporation was Insolvent and no ap
peal having been taken therefrom, ho
order was forever afterwards conclu
sive upon thnt question. This cause,
or somo phase of it, has been 'three
times beforo tho supreme court nnd as
many opinions have been written.
Tho solo question tho court was
asked to dctormlno wns whether tho
district court had Jurisdiction to make
an order for tho salo of tho remain
ing nssctB of tho bank. It was argued
by tho counsel for tho bank that no
such power existed until thero had
been entered a decrco In tho cause ad
Judging tho Insolvency of tho corpo
ration and ordering tho affairs to bo
wound up. The opinion closes with
tho following:
"In tho caso at hand tho order ap
pointing McCnguo as receiver of tho
German Savings bank determined that
tho corporation was Insolvent, and tho
question is no longer an open ono. Tho
proper tlmo for the bank to havo mado
that defense was beforo tho receiver
was nppolntcd. It cannot do so now.
Tho question of insolvency having
been adjudicated tho court was not
without Jurisdiction to order the real
estate sold. There Is nothing in tho
two previous decisions heretofore cited
which Is inconsistent with tho vlows
heroin expressed. Tho order Is af
firmed." The Shooting Not Justinrd.
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 25. Governor
Poynter has decided to investigate tho
shooting of Deserter Morgan In Sarpy
county by two soldiers from Fort
Crook. Morgan and anothor man at
tempted to cscapo from the fort und
Corporal Falro and Prlvnto Jockcus
wero detailed to pursue them. Gover
nor Poyntor brought tho matter to tho
attontlon of tho attorney genoral this
afternoon and that official will look
up tho law In tho case. Speaking of
tho shooting of Morgan Governor
Poynter this afternoon said:
"I am of tho opinion that no man Is
justified in shooting another, except
In Instances whoro martial law has
been declared. Nebraska is not under
martial law and therefore those two
soldiers wcro not justified In shooting.
I do not know that thoy were ordered
to Bhoot tho deserter, but If they were,
tho superior officer who issued iho
command Is just as guilty as they are.
Ho has no right to Issue such an or
der." falls While Ituntilug nnd Dies.

Carpenter started during the night of
November 20, nud opened with Battery
G of the Sixth artillery at daybreak,
November 21, on tho trenches. Tho

fifteen men, nrrlvo at Bayambong

tho nature of tho roads, secured fresh
horses and proceeded Immediately to

Tho corporal tolls a straight story,
