Western Newspaper Union XtWH Sonne
Under an old out ot date law, which
was paused In 1S79, State Treasurer
Hall has given official notice la writ
ing to Governor Moiohead and Audi
tor Smith that tho general lund ot
Nebraska now contains n sum ' ex
ceeding $170,000. Tho last tlmo such
a notice was sent from tho stato
treasurer's offlco was during the ad
ministration of Governor Shollen
bergcr in 1900. Tho law says that
when moro than $100,000 accumulates
in tho stato trcasuior's hands he shall
notify the governor and auditor to
that effect, and within thruo days
thereafter the three officials shall
meet to decide whether or not the
funds on hand aro needed to meet
current claims. If tlioy find that the
money Is not needed for this pur
pose, the statute requires thorn to in
vest It In United States 4 per cent
bonds (nono of which are now on tho
market.)
Argues Against Appropriation
Appropriations by counties for tho
aid of their agricultural societies and
for county fairs operutcd by such
bodies should not exceed tho total of
all premiums given. That Is the con
tention of Ed A. Smith of Omaha in
argument of a case before tho stato'
supreme court recently In which an
attack had been launched against the
county aid bill.
Attorney Smith Insisted that on ac
count of a discrepancy botween the
title and the body or tho state aid bill
of tho 1913 session, tho act should bo
nullified. The title, ho said. waB much
narrower than tho body of the law.
The law sets up no restrictions as to
amount of appropriation and the mem
bers of tho Douglas county board, ho
told the court, are levying 5 cnts
apieco for each voter of the county,
or a total of $7,500 a year.
To Test Power of State Treasurer
Suit has been filed by the attorney
general In tho supramo court to tost
the right of the stato treasurer to re
quire county treasurers to remit state
funds monthly. G. Ure, treasurer
of Douglas county, was made defend
ant. Tho court gave permission for
tho filing of the suit and issued a per
emptory writ of mandamus command
ing him to turn over $170,000 alleged
to be duo to state treasury for collec
tions made since January, or to show
cause by June 17 why he should not
do so. Mr. Ure questions the right of
th state treasurer to requlro remit
tance by tho fifth of every month and
will contest the cast.
There has been a heavy loss of fish
In the akes In tho northern part of
tho state, according to word received
by Chief Gamo Warden Hutenbeck.
Last winter thcro was a heavy freez
ing of Ico on tho surfaco of many of
the bodies of wnter In Cherry county
and Brown county. The Ice was cov
ered in turn by deep snow which re
sulted in making tho lakes air proof.
Tho theory that tho fish were killed
becauso of tho absence of air holes
and fresh air Is dispelled by the war
den, who holds that the loss has boon
caused by tho noxious and poisonous
eases arising from vegetation rotting
la the water, gases which could not
escape on account of the ice.
Enders lake in Brown county has
been a heavy loser. Now the surface
of the water is covered by floating
bodies of tho fish, and the dead bodies
have decomposed causing a disagree
able odor. Dewey lake in Cherry coun
ty escaped the blight. The region Is
principally noted for its bass.
Deputy Game Warden William Kan
topp of Falls City has reported to
his chiof that ho had been to Cedar
Creek and Louisville, where he found
and destroyed some traps and nots
which wero being used to catch fish
illegally. The owners of these de
vices wero not found, and no arrests
were made.
Postage at Hastings Asylum
Dr. Baxter, superintendent of the
state hospital for the insano at Hast
ings, in reply to a letter from the
state board of control asking him con
cerning his expenditures for postage,
explains tho systom of letter writing
adopted by his office and that patients
aro allowed to write two letters a
week. It is impossible to tell how
many letters aro written and mailed
the Institution. Attention was called
to his postago expenditures owing to
the fact that he buys $15 worth of
stamps each month in tho year, ono
month excepted. Ho explains that
sometimes this Is moro than is used
and when the accumulation of ex
coss stamps on hand is sufficient ho.

State Auditor Smith has sent to
Anton Nelson, of Greeley, an old war
rent for $7,50, dated April 15, 1909 In
payment of wolf bounty claims dating
prior to that time. This was a dupli
cate warrant which had been lying In
a plgeonholo in tho auditor's office
