REPLIES TO CAMPAIGN STORY Lincoln. Aug. 2s—State Treasurer ' ff. A. George has issued the following statement regarding the charges that lie did not turn over interest money during his term of office as county treasurer of Custer county: My attention has been called to an artlcal appearing in one of the demo cratic papers of August 27th, regard ing my administration as county treasurer of Custer county. The article in question is misleading. It states that I retired from the office in 1910. The facts are that I served from January 1902 to ’anuary. 1900. which was ten years ago. An indirect charge is made that I did not account in full for interest re ceived from the hanks fund county deposits. That charge is not true. During the years of my administra tion and years preceding it was the custom of the banks desiring county funds for deposit under the law then in force to tile with the county hoard x hid specified amounts and with sucli hid a bond to protect the same, and such hanks designated by the county hoard as countv depositories. I Hiring my administration the bids ami tor ids a- tiled were not sufficient to cover more than a minor portion of the funds on hand, and in the of fice and tire balance of funds were left in the treasurer's hands forwhicit he was personally responsible. Nu merous requests were made by me to the county board to relieve the situation by furnishing additional legal depositor or providing a burglar proof safe and put on a night which, but without success. aii interest received irotn tne legal-1 I v con-.tit uteri depositories has been amounted for. aiul no interest was received that was not accounted for other than the legal deposits. I do not owe Custer county one cent for interest. I was the first county treasurer of C .ster county to give surety bond, which wasiriven at a cost of $.585. and by so doing relieved myself from ligation to any individual or banks, such as would liave arisen through my request as signers as security on my bund. Tbe legislature, session of 1905, amended a depository law so as to provide for the safe keeping of all county and state funds, relieving the treasurer from personal liability. The law was again amended in 1907 and again in 1909 and this leaves con ditions entirely radically different from what they were ten years ago. Another noticeable change in condi tions as to what they were ten years ago. the county treasurer received a salary of *2.0i»i provided the fees of the office were sufficient to pay the same, and the provisions forcleri* hire were not sufficient, requiring the of fice force to work days, nights and Sundays to keep up the work, while now the treasurer receives a straight 'alary of *3.000 with no restrictions and is allowed all clerical help need ed to perform the work. Coder the law now in force all counties receive not less than 2 per cent on their daily 'salanees and tiie state treasurer gets 3 per cent on such daily balances. Under the guarantee law all state banks may be made county or state depositories without the necessity of giving bond. The .'xaminer who checked up the the records of Custer county for the last sixteen years states in his report to the county hoard that my accounts are absolutely correct, that he found no alterations cr errors therein, and in said report is embodied as I take it a strong compliment for effi ciency with which the work in the office was done during my four years as county treasurer. WALTER A. GEORGE. Cowboys Will Invade Mexico For Americans Will Co to Rescue of Countrymen whose Lives and Prop erty are in danger Equipped with 120 rifles and 60.000 rouuds of ammunition, an organized body of cowboys is prepared to move into Sonora, Mexico, where Americans are said to be in danger. Advices received state that the situation is extremely grave. Arms are being rushed to A mericans in the Cananea district of Sonora, and clashes with the rebels are expected at any time. One troop of United States cavalry left for points on the Nogales railway and two others will patrol the border further east. Residents in the threatened district appealed to the state department fo arms. It is declared that the rebel: are threatening to confiscate million: of dollars worth of American prop erty. GEN. MARTIN SUSTAINS THE BULL MOOSERS Attorney General Believea Them Entitled to Place on Ticket WILL ADVISE SECY, WAITE Electors Not Inclined to Resign Moose Executive Gommittee Lincoln. Sept.6.—Attorney General Martin lias given out that lie is of the opinion the bull moosers can at this time get a place on the ticket and he will so advise Secretary of State Wait. There is considerable diversity of opinion on this matter by attorneys, but unless a friendly suit is started, the names will prob ably be eertitied to as candidates. From authoritative sources it is re ported that the six electors give little indication of resigning their places. Three of them are said to be unalter ably opposed to retiring. Rroatch, Johnson and l’ease. It is said that when the latter received tlie demand for resignation from the Taft com mittee be hastened to wire the other live to stand by their guns and defy the Taft men. The other three are slid to take a milder position. They are reported to be willing to retire if the whole six get out of the way. They do not want to move unless the action is unanimous. W. .1. Rroatcli and Allen Johnson have issued public statement that they will not retire. Chairman Epperson would like to -ee them retire for the sake of the state ticket. Rut lie lias other troubles which take bis immediate attention. He lias no finances, lie lias been delayed in securing the com mittee office furniture. He is not >ure that his secretary can serve, and the whole weight of the campaign at this moment is on his shoulders. Man a.'yr F. 1’. Corrick, meanwhile is di recting the Roosevelt campaign from an elegantly appointed office and ap pears to be well supplied with muni tions of war. Pritchard-Syas At the office of the county judge, Wednesday morning. Sept. 11, 1912, his honor officiating, occurred the marriage of Mr. Robert 1‘. Pritchard and Miss Anna M. Syas, both of this city. The marriage of these well known young people which occurred about 9:30 a. m., was followed by din ner at high noon at the home of the bride's parents, only a few of the near relatives being present. The groom is the eldest son of R. N.Pritcb ard, a bright, talented and capable young man and ably equipped by na ture to make a pronounced success in in the business marts of this world and we believe will do so. The bride is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I. X. Syas, and for a long period employed as compositor in this office, is endowed with many graces and should prove a worthy home-ihaker for the man of her choice. They will make their home in this city for the present. The Northwestern has an especially kindly feeling for these young people, and wishes most earn estly for their best welfare,-success and happiness,, through lie. Early Selected Seed Corn Will Greatly Increase Yield. “We have in Nebraska no surplus seed corn on hand this jear-’ says l’rof. C. W. Pugsley, of the Exten sion Department of the Nebraska Experiment Station. “If Nebraska does not have good seed from this year s crop, it will be necessary for Nebraskans to depend upon seed brought from other states. Seed brought in from other states does not yield as well as home grown seed. "If every one concerned will select their seed early and then properly cure it. Nebraska will not experience such a seed corn famine as that which threatened the state this spring. Not only will we have plenty of seed, but we will get greater yields for experiments at the station have proved that well seldbted seed corn will produce from four to six bushels more than corn not carefully selected. "The Helds this year were planted late. Immediately after planting, considerable unseasonable weather followed ^nd in many Helds the corn which was planted did not have strong germinating powers. These conditions must be borne in mind* to get good seed for next year’s crop.” The week of • September 30 to October 5 has been designated as “Seed Corn Selection Week.” Every one is urged to select his corn that week so that Nebraska will have plenty of seed corn in 1913. HORSES DIE BY THOUSANDS Strange Epedemir Appears ii Nebraska aud Kansas, and Horses Die in Hreat Numbers There is a strange, mysterious di sease at present among the horses in Kansas and Nebraska, which seems to baffle the attempts of the authori ties to stamp it out. At last reports many thousands of horses have suc cumbed to the disease in our sister state, while from various points in Nebraska reports come of the losses of these animals by the hundreds. It resembles spinal meningitis, and lias been so diagnosed by eminent veterinarians, while it is denied by other veterinarians that it is that dread disease. Whatever it is, horses are dyiing here and there in droves. It is claimed, so far as has been esti mated. that SO per cent of the horses afflicted die from the cause. At first it was thought that only animals running in pastures were afflicted, but later it was found that stall-fed horses also contracted the disease. So far. the disease in Nebraska seems confined to the central part of the state Hamilton and Merrick counties appear to be hardest hit, horses dying in those counties by scores. A Min den horseman claims that plenty of salt and water will prevent or save them from the epidemic. He claims to have lost seven head last year, be fore he used the salt and water propo sition,since which t ime he has lostnone although handling hundreds of head. uic tms \e<tr Hia\ be something entirely different from tffat of last year. We hear of no cases in Sherman county so far. hut have reports from Arcadia of cases near there, while from Merna. in Custer county, come report of losses. Mon day of this week over ninety horses were reported dead around Palmer, and out around Kearney reports of gieat losses are made. Comstock a few miles to the north of us reports losses also. It is claimed that down in Kansas', the death of horses is so great that farmers can not gather in their crops and they are rotting in the fields. Surely the present is one of the greatest calamities coming to the agricultural classes. The proba bilities are that the epidemic will visit us later, and it behooves all owners of equines to be active and head it off if possible. Later—Since w riting the above, S. Foss from near Austin reports the loss of one of his best horses Monday, while a number of cases of losses are reported around Rockville and along the south portion of the. county. The report that a man at Jetmore, Kas , attending horses afflicted with the disease that lias caused tiie deaths of thousands of horses in Kansas dfiring the last few weeks, has been taken ill with all the symptomsof spinal meningitis,caused S. J. Crumbine, secretary of the Kan sas board of health, to hurry there. “The state agricultural college bac teriologists have found diplicocci in tiie blood of the dead horses,'- said Dr. Crumbine. “A certain variety of diplicocci causes meningitis in hu mans. We are going to find out whether the germ found in the horses is the variety that afflicts humans. If it is the situation is a menace to the citizens.” Governor Stubbs appealed directly to President Taft today in an effort to get government aid in combating the disease. In a telegram he told the president that the department of agri cultural had received the report of the situation with “unpardonable” ne glect or in<iifference.” He said that over 5,000 horses have died with the disease. Because of fear that new horses would catch the disease and die, the farmers are afraid to buv other ani mals. Meantime, fall crops are going ' unharvested and very little plowing j or planting of fall wheat is behind | done. An autopsy on one of the horses winch died of the mysterious disease that is killing thousands of horses in western Kansas, revealed a bucketful of tiny worms in its intestines. Horse owners are dosing their horses with turpentine and other oils in an effort to kill the intestinal worms.
