that whore account could not be veri
fied and In all case where there wm
doubt existing that could not be re

benefit of the doubt. The booka show
that In addition to the shortage stated
above that the superintendent ha dis
bursed the cash fund arising from the
Industrial departments to pay deliclena

SCHOOL LAND CONTRACTS.
Board of Educational Lend and Fund
Protecting th State'a Intereate,
The board ol educational land and
fund baa cancelled a large number of
ncIiooI land contract throughout the
wcktero countle in t he wtate. The can
cellation amounted iu all to 435,237
acre, which, together with th echool
land vacant, give the total number of
acrea available for lea under the pro
vlelon of th new law lu the countle
named. Under preceding udminltra
tiou the law requiring intereet and ren
til pnymenta to the etate for the ue of
Mchool land ha not been enforced, and
thNtatehalot thousand of dollar.
Many of the bolder are deliuouent elx
or eight year, Speculator who have
ald only a dollar hav been alloweif to
told the laud lit throe or four year
without any other payment Mug
mad.
It I not the policy of the present
board to cancel contract held by per-
mod living on the land and who are
making an honest effort to pay for the
ame; and where thi fact I proven to
the commissioner of public laud and
building and a part of th delinquency
paid, exteuMlou to the end of the year
have been grunted, with the understand
1 111 that the remainder will then be paid.
Commissioner Wolfe la traveling over the
fate, leasing these and other vacant
echool land, as rapidly a possible,
with the result that a great deal of the
land which ha been idle, rental having
been lost by failure to keep up the col
lection, will now begin drawing rental
and will continue to do o if th present
policy I followed; much of thi lurid hav
ing been held, heretofore, by eculator
and other who have paid little or noth

The first case of leprosy in the etateof

twelve year, applied to Dr, Everett 0
Lincoln for treatment. The unfortun

tinually for scrofula.

conclusion speedily that the man had

A HILL FOR THE TRUSTS
Soma Interesting Figure- on the
Elo la Value of Their
Stocka.
PAYING CAMPAIGN DEDT8.
A Part of the Speech of Hon. Joioph
Wheeler of Alabama,
July 19, 1897.
A Nl Profit ot $1100,000,000,
It baa been atated by tbe newspaper
of tbe country that aince the Introduc
tion of the Dlnirlev bill In th House nnd
tha favorable consideration which it re
ceived by that body, that tbe value of
II etocke of tbe great trust have stead
lly increased, Hon. Joseph Wheeler of
Alabama baa Investigated the facta in
tbe matter and give aome very Interest
ing fliures. If how that twenty-five
organized truela have an Increase In the
value of their etock In th last three
month exmwding 1200,000,000 in all.
Thi I th recompense for their contri
bution to tbe campaign fund which re-
tored tbe republican party to power.
Anyone who I familiar with th fact
will conclude (bat the convening of tbl
txtraordlnary Jscsslon and the enact
ment of thi bill were eolely for the pur
pose of paying campaign debt.
la a speech lu Congress July 10, Mr.
Wbeeler ttid:
Th bill should be entitled "An act
for the protection of and to increase the
power and wealth of combine, monopo
lies and trust,"
Nearly th entire bill! framed to at.
tain euch a purpose, Oa March 31st a
resolution wa voted Opon in the House
the object being to Incorporate a pro
vision in the bill, the effect of which
would have been to add un amendment
placing upon the free list all article
iriaiiulactured, produced, or controlled
by any combination or organization ol
perOD or corporation formed in the
United Htute for the purpose of limitfntr.
regulating, or controlling the aupply or
price of any such article.
Th proposed amendment also con
tain. J th further provision (hat the
rate of duty now prescribed by law ehall
be levied and collected on any or all of
such article when, in tbe opinion of the
secret ury of the treasury, such article
shall cease to be manufactured, produced
or controlled Ijj the Uni ted Htate by
any aucb combination or organisation.
Thi amendment wa a blow at or
ganized trust. It wa voted for by
every democrat and voted againt by
every republican, and, ae a prominent
republican atated, if that amendment
carried, the entire purpose of tbe bill
would be defeated.
Nearly all th manufacturer of similar
article in the northeast have organized
into what are called trusu or combina
tion. For Instance, the Standard Oil
trust, th cotton-seed oil trust, the nail
trust and the barbed-wire trust. These
Organization are a follow:
All th manufacturer in a certain Hue
combine together and elect a board of
trustee. They keep informed a to the
stocks of good in the United Htate of
the kind In which they are interested.
and by closing a portion of their too
torie from time t time they keep the
production down to th demand In thie
country. By these organization they
regulate the production, the price, and
th prlcnol labor. When the production
exceed the demand, several, factories
stop work, and thus laborer ar thrown
out of employmtnt. Thi enable th
manufacturer to tak advantage of the
suffering of the Idle mea and reduce
wage,

The pro dipatche aay that Assist

ceived from V.. 8. Cramo, one of tbe
famous shipbuilder of Philadelphia, a
letter in answer to one from Mr. Meikle
jobn, atating that the firm organized
for the purpose of manufacturing eellu-
ose from corn stalks for battleship
will soon open six factories In th corn
growing section of the country. The

why one of tbe factories should not be
eeublished in Nebraska, and bint that
many more will be ofwued alter the ix
hav beifun operation. Mr, Meikleiohn
ha referred th communication to L. 1).
Kicbarde of Fremont, Neb., who mad

doubtless be taken at once to secure one
of tbe plants for our state. Tbe oitb
from the corn etalke, a exclusively de-
scrioea in these dispatcher aeveral
mouth ago, ha been discovered to be
of Inestimable value In many articles
valuable in trade and commerce, chief
among which i tb cellulose in battle
ships, used for the purpose of automati
cally preventing the inures of water to
ships through normal leakage or shot
uoie.
The factories will be established in the
corn belt, where the stalke can be pur
chased cheaply and a new Industry will
be started which promises to assume
great proportion and be beneficial to
the farmer, vho will find a market for
bl corn talk after the Industry la

tages for sanitary purpoaes. There ar

1487, enlarged in 1981) and will b en-
larged again tbl year. There ar 218

Ur. (Jeorge r. Kelper. auoerlntendent
i of I'ennsylania (Jerman and revolu
tionary ancestry, aud was born at
Kaeton, Pennsylvania, February 22d,
18i0. He attended the excellent nubile
schools of bis nativ place and entered
on tbe voyage of life for himself in bla
fifteenth year a a dry good clerk.
When he had attained bis majority be
went to Morgan county. Indiana, stud
ied medicine with bis brother, Dr, C. B.
Kelper, and subsequently graduated
from Kush Medical College, Chicago in
1805. He bas been three time elected
to the state legislature, serving a a
member of the house during the twen
tieth and twenty-first sessions, and in
tbe senate during tbe twenty-second ses
sion, always as a democrat. He wa
the democratic nomine for congress in
the Third district in 1872 and received
tbe largest vote ever cast for a demo
cratic congressional candiite in tb
district. He has traveled ' (ensively in
both tbe old and new wo' js and posses
ses a large fund of useiul information.
He I an ardent advocate of fusion of
tbe reform forces and a consistent op
ponent of monopoly. He was the
mother of the bill, which became a law
in 1891, providing that tb cost ol
board, car and treatment of the insane
while in tbe bosnital of tbe state shall
be borne by tbe state, a beneficent
measure in the nature of advanced legis
lation, which is now being adopted by
other states. .
W. II, Jtarber, M. D the physician, ia
a native of Indiana and a graduate of
Hanemann college, Chicago, class of
lHH.'l, located at Fullerton, Nebraska,
1880, and wa appointed in 1805. Tb
doctor has uiven special study to th
study of tb insane aud all patient re
ceive tbe very best attention from bim
that can be given. Those who have
friends there can rest assured tbat in
Ur. Keiper and Dr. Karber they bave
two physicians who will do all tbat med
ical skill can do to relieve them.
The business part of the Institution ia
looked after by one of the best stewards
the state ever had, C. D. Jenkins, who
bas been a resident of Madison county
twenty-seven year, II bos been twice
chairman of the county board of super
visor. He not only aees that the
fiat ion t ar well fed aud clothed, but
ooka to tbe Interest of tbe tate as well;
see that no extravagant biila are con
tracted or allowed; be simply take car
of tb business Interest of th stab lik
any good businee man would look after
bis own Intereate.
A. I'. Obunion and D.LMcDonald have
churn of the garden and farm. H. Tak,
tbe suiervlor baa bad several year x
prieiic In hospital work and I a vory
the matron, understand her duties well,
having been for two year matron of tl.
Lincoln asylum.
I would lik to apeak of r-adi of th
attendant 01, the varioue wards, but
spue forbids. Sulllin it to say, they
have been candidly selected from a larg
number of applicant. While they are
ttrui with the patients, they are at all
lime kind end patient with them. Con
sidering th work they do and th hr cm
they 'tid on duty, I must any that
Ih stal doe Dot pay them mlleieatly
lor their work compared with private
Institution Tbl i not only trusherv,
but in all th UU institution. Labor
