His death resulted from a complication of troubles. Vive weeks ago he fell from a tree, breaking his arm. Shortly after* ward a large carbuncle make its ap S-aranoe on the back of his neck. lood poisoning set in, resulting in his death. Mr. Stevenson was well known throughout the state.

'Orate Charges Brought Against Mr. Cletelund by a SUter Advocate. Denver, July 14.—The Rocky Moun tain News will publish tomorrow cor respondence between Grover Cleveland and Hon. Blanton Duncan, clearly 'showing that Cleveland encouraged Mr. Duncan to secure him support in California at the last election upon the claim that he would approve a bill for the free coinage of the American silver product. I'pon June 34, 1893, Mr. Duncan wrote a letter in which the following occurs: In fact Mr. Cleveland's utterances have been misrepresented,for his whole career demonstrates that everything passed by congress to restore silver to its position prior to 1873 would be en dorsed by him. The distinction that he has made indicated a fear upon his part that an unlimited coinage of sil ver of the whole world might produce disaster and calamity upon our com mercial interests. That he would willingly sign a bill providing for the free coinage of the silver from our own mines I am perfectly convinced. This letter was sent both to Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Stevenson before its publication. It was written very shortly after their nomination and ex tensively published. After writing that letter Mr. Duncam informed Mr. Cleveland that he wonld secure the electoral vote of California for him by getting editorials and arti cles into the chief papers of southern California c.ommenc'ing him along that line, lie also inclosed himclippings from the Los Alleles Times, commend in g him to the voters of California because of his friendship for silve.'. On the 12th of July, 1893, Mr. Cleveland wrote to Mr. Duncan as follows: I received yonr letter of Jnne 26, ac companied by extracts from the Los Angeles Times. I thank you for both. I am glad you are working in the line you indicate in your letter, and I have not the slightest doubt bat that very great good will be the result. In the same letter he also says: I know of no one who can. avail him self better of such an opportunity than yourself. Mr. Duncan writes: Mr. Cleveland's letter was a tacit pledge to me that I had stated his views correctly. No other construction can be placed upon it. and if Mr. Cleveland had any reservations he had no right to ask of me the carrying out of action which was to give him and the people voluntary service without expectation or demand for payment and reward upon my part. Mr. Stevenson thanked me heartily, and 1 do not doubt what his action will be when the millions ask him to save them from destruction: Nebraska Savings Bank of Lincoln In thn Hand* of the State Board. 1 Lincoln, July 14.—Last evening at about 7 o'clock Lieutenant P. H. Town ley, clerk of the state banking board, posted a notice on the door of t^e Ne braska Savings bank announcing that the bank had been taken charge of by the board and would close its doors. This bank began to feel the strain of the Capital National failure last May. As a result of Mosher's fall it lost $103, 000 in deposits and on May 17 sustained a heavy run. At this time it took ad vantage of the sixty-days banking law and refused to pay out more than $500 to any one depositor. This sixty days of grace expires next w eek, and as tbe officials of the bank could not realize ■on their securities, they considered it wise to turn the business over to an ex aminer. There is no doubt that every cent will be ipaid the depositors. The bank owes $48,000 to other banks in the city and $61,000 to depositors. Its assets consist of $138,000 in good paper; be sides this there is $36,000 in notes which are six months over due and are not counted as good assets. Mr. Townley will at .once begin an examination of the hank’s accounts. He stated this evening that he had been over the hooks a short time since and if the pa per was good there would be consider ably more than enough to pay out the (IpnoRifnrs in full. Will Discontinue Meat Inspection. Wasuinotox, July H.—Secretary Morton, Dr. Salmon, chief of the bureau of animal industry and Solicitor Gen eral Maxwell of the Department of Justice had a long consultation today at the Department of Agriculture on the subject of the meat inspection ser vice and whether or not the law re quired the secretary to continue the meat inspection service where he felt it was unnecessary. The result of the conference was not made known. Some time ago Secretary Morton directed a letter asking for an opinion from Attorney General Olney on the subject in which he stated that if he had the power under the law to discon tinue meat inspection he proposed to do so in many places where he found it to be an expensive aud useless undertak ing. The sequel to the conference ap peared a little later when the secretary published the announcement that he has suspended the inspection of sheep, beef and lambs at the abattoir of the Jacob Dold Packing company of Buf falo. This action was taken upon the report of an inspector that none of the inspected meat is sold to the interstate or foreign trade. The order for tne suspension of the Buffalo inspection will doubtless be followed soon by a similar order suspending inspection at Pittsburg, Pa., and at Nebraska City, Neb. Situation at Pomeroy. Fort Dodge, la., July 14.—Over one hundred laborers and mechanics were j at work in the ruins at Pomeroy yester day. About one hundred injured arc still in the hospital and a dozen sur geons and fifty nurses are kept busy. Mr. Dahlgreu and two children have been removed to Fort Dodge. Katie Davey, another 6f the fatally injured, died this morning. There are hopes of Mrs. Davey's recovery. Mrs. Nick Fecht, who died yesterday was buried at Fort Dodge today. The total num ber of deaths that can be verified is forty-four. Company Cof \Veb6terCity has come to the aid of Company G of Fort Dodge, lioth will remain on duty for the present. A tour of the rural district, with the aid of a well informed resident, has given a pretty accurate estimate of the property loss in Pom eroy. The figures are: Damage in business portion of town to buildings, $0,000; black tile factory, $2,500; seven churches and school houses, $25,000: over 100 houses, $120,300; contents of barns, stores, etc., $50,000; total, $178,0001 Diractan <( (ha Planklnton Bnk Mm*t Pane the Maale. Milwaukee, Wis., July 14.—Tie ■di rectors of the Plankinton hank hare been in (Me tied snider the law of the state, defining1 the responsibility -of hank directors. Judge James J. Jen kins, William Plankinton and Eugene Elliott lucre appeared in court and pre sumably given bail. E. VV. Noyes, one of the directors who is also indicted, is sick at home, but will appear in court as soon as he is able. Judge Wilbur fixed bail at 85,000 on eadh count, which really makes the bail 815,0J0 each. The indictments are similar in form. The charges that the directors received a deposit of 820,000 from E. R. Pantke <fc Co., May 16, knowing the bank to be insolvent. Indictments are returned on like charges by other depositors. The penalty for the offense charged is from one to .ten years in prison or a fine of not more than 810,000. Officers around the court refuse to say whether Lappan is indicted or not, but there is no doubt but what he is, and the charge is of obtaining money under false pretenses. It is not known at present where Lappan is. Until re cently he has been living quietly on the North Side in Chicago, but rumor has it that he is mat there now. Day is in a sanitarivm in Indiana and Officer Cappias will probably start after him at once. Kobbed at a Large 8am. McAlester, I. T., July 14.—James Townsend,.a butcher, who lives at this place, while.on a.tour buying beef cat tle near Hartshorn, I. T., was seized, bound and gagged by .two men named JLailey, and made to give up 81,500 in cash, which he had drawn from the bank .at South McAlester to buy cattle with. After having firmly secured their victim and relieved him of all his money the two robbers bound a sack over the unfortunate man's head, so he could not see, then hastily beat a re treat It .was upwards of an hour before Townsend managed to extricate him self from the rope that bound him. A posse was soon formed .and a general scouring of the country for the desper adoes ensued. At 6 o'clock a. m. one of the searching party reached here and gaoe an accurate description of the two robbers to the officers at this place, who have joined in the hunt, and it is though that the desperadoes will be captured before morning. One of the robbers is wanted for murder, having killed a man in cold blood only a few days ago. One Fare to the Fair. Chicago, July 17.—The Big Four has set a pace in the World's fair rates that practically settles the fact that the reg ular rates iu the Central Traffic associ ation territory will be one fare for the round trip to the fair. It has been an nounced by Chairman Donald of the association that, commencing July 15, and continuing each day during July, it will inaugurate a series of daily ex cursions, one fare for the round trip, the tickets will be good on any regnlar train. This action is a clear violation of the agreement on World's fare rates The association officials thiB after noon were forced to issue a permit to all roads in the Central Traffic associa ‘ tion territory to make the same rates as the Bjg Four wherever the business of that road comes in competition with other lines. This will make the one fare on regular trains good over all the Central Traffic association territory. The action of the Big Four is belivedto be in retaliation for the cut tickets of the Pennsylvania, which the brokers arV aid to be handling at Columbus, Indianapolis and Louisville. Several of the eastern roads have issued rate sheets based on the recent reductions made by the transcontinen tal lines, notwithstanding the fact that the Central Traffic association decided not to use them for basing purposes. Interpret* the Sherman Law. Washington-, D. C., July 15.—It is understood that the Treasury depart ment holds that it is required by the Sherman law to purchase 4,500,000 ounces of silver each month. The law reads: “That the treasurer of the treasury is hereby directed to purchase, from time to time, silver ballion to the aggregate of 4,500,000 ounces or so thereof, as may be offered in each month at the market price thereof, eto.” It is held that purchases need not be made in any special month, so long as the aggregate is maintained. The de cision as to what the market price is, is made by the director of the mint, who makes the purchase. The acting direc tor expects to get its full quota this month. At Oat* Over the Brigs* Case. Louisville, Ky., July 14.—The ex pulsion of Dr. Briggs from the general assembly has caused strained relations to exist between the two most promi nent divines in the Presbyterian church in Kentucky. The ministers involved are Kcv. Samuel M. Hamilton, D. D., pastor of the Warren Memorial church, of this city, and the Bev. W. C. Young, D. D.. president of Center college, at Danville, ex-moderator of the Kentucky synod and former pastor of the Central Presbyterian church here. Dr. Hamil ton has tendered his resignation as trustee of the Center college, not earing to associate with Dr. Young after the violent attack he made on Professor Briggs at the meeting of the general assembly.

The Fair te Close on Sundays. Chicago, July 15.—The World's fair is to be closed on Sundays after July 16. The admissions of next Sunday have already been donated 1 for the re lief of the families of firemen who lost their lives in the recent fire on the grounds, and but for this fact the fair would probably have been closed next Sunday. The vote of the local direc tory rescinding its former action was overwhelmingly in favor of closing it, standing 24 to 4. When the meeting of directors was called late yesterday afternoon an ad dress advocating Sunday closing, signed by the leading Chicago clergymen, was read. The close of the address was the sig nal for a series of speeches, all of them in favor of closing tne fair. Vice Presi dent Peck, who presided in the absence of President Higginbotham, then read the following resolution, which was at once adopted, and the directors ad journed, apparently well pleased with themselves and their work: Whereas, The board of directors at a regular meeting, held May J6, 1893, adopted certain resolutions providing for the opening of the exposition on Sunday in response to certain urgent appeals from persons and organizations representing a large majority of the public, as well as from stockholders of the corporation, and also in accordance .with a resolution adopted by the city council of the city of Chicago, repre senting the financial interests of said city in said exposition to the amount of 95,000,000, ana, Whereas, This action of the board has been sustained by the United States circuit court of appeals, and the right and power of the ooard of directors to control the physical administration of the exposition on Sundays as well as on any other days of the week, has been upheld by the final decree of said court; and, Whereas, It now appears by the act ual admissions that the general public dues not by its attendance manifest a desire that said exposition should be kept open every aay in the week, it further appears that if the exposition is kept open on Sunday it will require the attendance of more than 16,000 laboring men and women, the employes of the exposition and others, and while the exposition authorities can give its ■own employes one day of rest out of each week, it seems impracticable for the exhibitors and others to provide such a day of rest for their own clerks and employes; and, Whereas, It further appears that the number of laboring men and women whose service will be necessarily re quired to keep the exposition open on Sundays is disproportionate to the num ber of visitors on said days and, there fore, the interests of the public are not promoted by keeping the exposition open on each and every day of the week, now, therefore, be it Kesolved, That all the said resolu tions adopted by this body on May 16, 1893, and the amendments to the rule relative thereto adopted on said day, save and except the price of admission, be, aad the same are hereby rescinded, to take effect after the 16th inst. Auditor Ackerman of the World's fair presented the financial statement of the exposition to the board of directors today. The statement covers the en tire period of the exposition up to June 30th. The receipts of the fair from ticket sales, concessions and other sources since July 1 have been over 91,000,000 and a large reduction in the floating debt has been made. According to the statement the total gate receipts were 93,121,660.76, including 9282,449.51, re ceived prior to May 1. The total ex penditures to June 30, were 920,610, 160.40. Of this amount 916,556,662.93 is charged to construction. The ope rating expenses for May at 9609,883.87 and receipts 9719,402.71. During June the estimated receipts were 91,660, 820.21 and expenses 9642,912.27, leaving a balance for the two months of 91,127, 417.78. Growing Better Day by Day. New Yoke, July 15.—The marked improvement in the financial situation noticed by bank officers two or three days ago was reported today to show no sign of abatement, and the sitnation tljis morning was declared more encour aging than yesterday. The percentage of cash used in the payment of balances was greater than here tore. This morn ing one national 'bank retired <140,000 loan cert ificates. These certificates will now be retired by large banks day by day from the clearing house in payment of balances. The banks re port the receipt of large amounts of currency from the country and a no ticeable decrease in the applications for rediscount and other accommodations by country banks. The comptrollers call for a statement of the condition of national banks on July 13 will, it is be lieved, relieve a large amount of cur rency. Nebnuka Stat.
