Senator Dietrich spent tbe day io
Omaha with bis cour.cil, General
Cow in, arranging details of bis de
tente in lus f .rib coming trial in tbe
federal court on charges of conspiracy
and bri'.ery in connection with the
appointment of a postmaster at Has
tings, Neb. The senator has not ap
pered In court fur arraignment, and
General Cowln stated tbat be pro
bably would not do so.
Tbe grand jury resumed its labors
yeterda afternoon. Tbe pistoOlce
cases still have the floor aod the V li
ft luville aod Falrburr cases are under
consideration;. Several of tbe wit
nesses are yet to arlve, and lo tbe
Inttrlm the, gj-and Jury is looking
over ibe laud fencing ;se again.
Tin grand Jury hIso began the In
vest Egatloo of matters io tbe
department of the adjutant general
if Nebraska, duiing tbe last state
administration, when Gen. W. L.
Colby was at the head of be depart
ment and witnesses have been sum
moned. The investigation is In con
nect, on with the appropriation of
money to reimburse the government
for b ankets supplltd to the state pen
itentiary after the fire at that In
stil ut Ion two years ago.
Arljut int Ger.eaal Culver and Store
keeper Davis of the national gu ild
aaivel in Omaha yesterday af.er
noon from Lincoln, brii.gltig with
them the records of the olllce cover
ing General Colby's Incumbency.
General Culver made this statement
tit tie press :
"Aec Tiling to my understanding,
the charges against Gitieial Colby
grow out of the use of tbe flat I'inal
guard blaukets at the penitentiary
subsequent to the Ore In 1901. There
weie seven hundred blankets Issued
from our stores, on the ruder of Act
ing Guvernor Savage, Governor Diet
rich being absent from the state.
Tnese blankets, valued at S3.20 each,
have since remained In the possscshn'
of the penitemlar. The legislature,
as I undeistand it, appropriated ".onie
$2.0hj for the purchase ofblatkets,
and, as the militia blankets were
handy, they were used. The que-t-lon.
I think, is as to the disposhlun
of t tie m ney vnted by the legislature.
"1 hardly think it Is chaiged that
Gener.l Colby appropiiated this
mnjey fur his t wn use. lie may have
convened It for the use of the mid
t'u for other purposes, and this
might constitute a technical In
frli gement of the regulati ms. Tlii8
is a matter I know absolutely noth
ing about, having never i vis lirated
the question. I do knnw that Mr.
Smith. General Colby's chief clerk,
who Is said to have preferred the
charges, had a cialm for $000 or 700
fur expert services In General O'lby's
olllce, which the general refused to
allow, and which the legislative outi
mlttee turned down on his re.com
men atlon.
Twenty Indictments are' known to
have been voted by the federal grand
'jury and there Is not a little ititeiet
to know against who they are directed
It is exueeted they will be reported
to the coutt witbiD a short time.

Nebraska Court Keversed.
WASHINGTON, Dc 9. -To it
opinion hy Justice White the sup
reme court of the United States re
versed the decision of the supreme
court of Nebraska, in the case of Sch
uyler National bank of Schuyler,
Neb., vs. Giorge Thrush and others.
The case luvolved a que9'i"n of the
exaction of usury by the bank.
Thrush and his wife were debtors to
the president of the bank in the sum
of rjve thousand dollars, and they
gave a nnte for that ammint, with
interest at the rate of 12 per cent.
This rate of Interest was usurious
under tbe Nebraska state law, and
Thrush asked for a computation of
the interest, which showed that,
counting the payment of Interest,
as the pavment of principal, as p r
f ided f ir by the state, the note h id
beeo reduced to $200. The state
"ourt held this plan to be valid on
the iiround that the use was gnvet
ned by the state and not by federal
law, Inasmuch as the note was made
payable to an officer of the hank and
not to the bank itself. Justhe
White's opinion reversed the finding
and was favorable to the contention
of Ihe bank that the case came
within the purview of the federal la,
and lhat the interest payments could
not be computed as payments of
