SIIEEIIAN WRITES TO KIR. BRYAN Satisfied the Letter Had No Knowledge of Con tribution. A special from New York, under date of June 5, says: Whatever money was sen- to Nebraska for use in the campaign of 1904 was taken from the general fund of the democratic national committee, which was made up of voluntary contributions from many persons, according to a letter written by William F. Sheehan of this city to William J. Bryan at Lincoln, Neb., on June 1, and made public today. The letter bears upon the allegation which has been published that Thomas F. Ryan contributed $15,000 to the campaign in 1904 through William F. Sheehan, chairman of the democratic national committee, who, it was charged, gave the money to T. S. Allen of NeJ braska. In making the contents of the letter public Mr. Sheehan's representative today called attention to the fact that it bore date of June 1, and said that there was no delay on Mr. Sheehan's part in notifying Mr. Bryan of the fact. The letter follows in part: "June 1, 1908. Hon. William J.Bry an, Lincoln, Neb. Dear Sir: I have read the article published in the New York .World on May 30 last relating to campaign expenditures in the state of Nebraska in 1904. In view of the fact that I was chairman of the ex ecutive committee of the democratic national committee in that year, per mit me to say that whatever money was sent to the state of Nebraska was taken from the general fund, which money was made up of voluntary con tributions from many persons. Why there should be any criticism of this particular expenditure I am at a loss to understand. The transaction was a perfectly legitimate one on the both sides. "There was not the slightest sug gestion at the time from anybody that you had any knowledge on the subject or that .knowledge of the transaction was to be brought home to you. It i3 probably needless for me to say that neither directly or indirectly was I re sponsible for the publication in ques tion, and were it not for the fact that I believe an act of injustice has been done you I would not even say what I have in this letter. Yours truly, William F. Sheehan." Is Losing Money. The Missouri Pacific railroad com pany claims to have lost and is still losing much money in the operation of its lines in Nebraska. This is accord ing to a report filed with the state board of equalization. It is queer that the managers would acknowledge such a state of affairs in the face of the fact that they abandoned the only train service (around the horn) in the opera tion of which they say they did make money. It was the best patronized train in the service, and was a great accommodation to the people along the line. Perhaps the latter was the principal reason for abandoning it. Immense Crib and Elevator. A short distance north and east of Union live3 a modest, unassumirg farmer, stock raiser and stock buyer. He is liberal, big-hearted and numbers his patrons by the hundred. He has prospered and has artded to his broad acres, until it became necessary in order to care for his grain and carry on his feeding operations to have larger storage quarters. Two years ago he began to build, and now has finished an immense corn crib and elevator 72x112 feet. It is made to a large extent of native lum ber, with walnut and oak sills and posts, having a capacity of 15,000 bushel shelled and 10,000 ear corn. It will have a feed grinding plant with roller burs and is the most complete plant in the county, if not in southeast Nebraska. How much did it cost? Well, that is hard to say, but it carries $3,000 insurance. The man referred to in this article i3 Abraham L. Becker, whose adver tisement appears in thi3 paper and we know him to be a square deal man and though he "springs" the market occasionally when he can do so to his and the farmer's benefit, he evidently make3 it pay. Nehawka Register. Accused of Theft. From the following dispatch from Beatrice, Nebraska, under date of June 5, 1903, it would seem that Dr. Bartell the palmist, who visited Plattmouth some time since, has surely gotten him self into trouble. At Beatrice he went under the name of Dr. H. B. Morris. The dispatch says: "A. H. I'egues, an officer from Dallas, Tex., arrived here this evening after Dr. H. B. Morris, a palmist, who was arrested here a few days ago. He is charged with stealing $450 from a woman in moderate circum stances at Fort Worth, Tex. The of ficer will go to Lincoln tomorrow to se cure requisition papers for Morris' re turn to Texas." Will the Telephone Succeed the Wire? For the past few days J. S. Collins of the Burlington telephone service, has been in the city and at Pacific Junction, Iowa, making connections whereby the company is able to operate their own telephone lines by way of the switch at Oreapolis, from Pacific Junction to Lin coln and Omaha, and from Omaha to Lincoln as well. This system is being installed to use in conjunction with the telegraph. It looks like when the next telegraph strike occurs that it will not happen, and then again there are ways of getting around an obnoxious law in the shape of making nine hours the limit for a telegraph operator. They Want a Change. Since A. J. Weaver's mention for congress by the News, a number of re publicans have opened their mouths. They unhesitatingly say that they have no use for Pollard, who done anything and everything except represent the people of this state. They will welcome a change, and while Weaver does not come up to their ideal in all respects, still he would be a vast improvement ment over Pollard. Especially are they severe upon the congressman for his position upon the asset currency bill, which they denounce in unmeasured terms. Falls City News. Over-Crowded Asylums. Superintendent Hay of the Lincoln hospital for the insane reported to the board of public lands and buildings that hi3 institution was so crowded that patients were sleeping on the floors. He called attention to the law that provides for the discharge of harmless patients that may safely be sent home to make room for persons that ought to be admitted to the institution. The board authorized him to discharge enough harmless and incurable patients to admit the new patients. Lincoln Journal. Not Much of a Housekeeper. George Park is having a time keep ing house this week. He had thought that he would have to go to the country tD work, and therefore, Mrs. Park?, who is timid since so many burglaries have been committed, went to the country to visit with her relatives.

He manages tc get his breakfast at home, but the dinner and supper has to be gotten at the restaurant. A. W. Dawson Builds a Ship. Uncle William Dawson ha3 just com pleted the building of a small toy sail boat for little Georgie Dovey, which is a very fine piece of workmanship, and is highly prized by his little friend. Lit tle George will obtain more satisfaction from this present of his friend, Mr. Dawson, than the whole of the Sham rock club from their associated capital. Ed. Parriott, the old war horse of the A.
