Let us briefly refer to some of the
sham reforms of the populist officers
at the state house:
Their claims that the penitentiary
under popoeratic management has
bf en made “self-sustaining” is a
glaring misstatement of facts, ridicu
lous and ludicrous, when in ten min
utes time consulting the records it is
discovered that the authorities of
this institution have drawn from the
state treasury during the time the
present officers have had control a
grand total of #110,000 which has
been used in addition to the money
received from the labor of prisoners
to bring it up to the boasted “econ
omy” of being ••self sustaining.”
This is a matter of record, and the
fellows who prepare these circulars
in which they claim the penitentiary
to be self-supporting know they lie
Here is another. The cards and
circulars set up the loud claim that
the present state treasurer. Mr. Me
serve, has reduced the interest bear
ing debt $700,542.99, with money
which they would try to deceive us
into believing waH made and given
to the state by a munificent pop
treasurer. The actual facts iu the
case are, that considering the amount
of money thai has certainly passed
into Mr. Meserve's hands from all
sources, and available for applica
tion on the interest bearing debt, be
has uot made such a great showing
after all. From Mr. Bartley he re
ceived $437,953.13, which added to
$490,107.47 received from other
funds at the same date make a total
of #934,0(10.00. Does this make it
easy to believe that Mr. Meserve
found the treasury entirely empty
when he stepped mto ofllee? Aside
from this there are a few other con
siderations. On .Januany 1, 1897,
the state had the delinquent tax-list
as a cash asset, which at a fair esti
mate based on delinquent tax collec
tions amounted to #253,828.50, In
1890 a sinking fund of $103,540.84
was levied and also the same amount
iu 1897. If the levy of 1890 was
collected and two thirds for 1897 in
the first half 1898, which was very
likely done, it would make a total of
$172,508.07. Figure up these items
aud then think awhile. Has Mr. Me
serve made such a sweeping reduc
tion after all, when his many rich
resources are taken into account.

Kxposlllon.
For the past ninety-five years the
famous Hagenback's exhibition now
appearing at the Trans-Mississippi
exposition, has been admitted us the
greatest aggregation in the world.
The entire globe has been ransacked
for wild animal novelties during its
long and wonderful career, and the
present season at the Omaha exposi
tion will cap the climax. No animal
expert and trainer has been too great,
and no salary too large for the man
agement to pay in order that the ser
vices of the most accomplished and
celebrated talent might be obtained.
No single performance in any ani
mal exhibition, either in the Old or
in the New Worlds, has ever includ
ed so many rare and daring acts
with wild animals as Hagenback's
presents to the public.
With complete confidence in the
American people, and their ability
to judge of this superior and excel
lent exhibition, thankiug them for
the very large and generous patron
age already extended, and trusting
for a continuance of their approval
and presence at Hagenback’s during
the remainder of the exposition seas
on, the undersigned will still aim to
present to them a program flawless
and incapable of improvement and
worthy of the patronage of all. Cor
dially yours
