u N. COLBY PUTS IT BACK
PAYS $2,282 TO ADJUTANT
GENERAL CULVER.
( Special to State Journalf-
BEATRICE , Neb. Dec. 10. It
was leained here yesterday that Geo.
L. W. Colby , formerly adjutant gen
eral of the Nebraska national guarrt ,
whose accounts have been invest ! '
gated by the feloial grand jury at
Umaha , had in accordance with the
direction of Governor Mickey , turned
over to his suc-essor in ollice $2,282.
This is the principal amount in dis
pute. The momy was accompanied
by a draft for the full amount of re
ceipts for the sale of quartermaster's
stores. This latter sum is a verj
small item. The 82,282 was appropriated -
priated by the legislature for the
purchase of olankets lo replace others
given by the adjutant general to
the state for the use of convicts at
the penitentiary. The money was
drawn from the state treasury bj
General Colby lor the purchase ol
blankets during Governor Savage's
term of office , but Governor Savage
did not consent to the purchase and
General Culby retained the money.
It is bdlieved that the turning
over of the money to the state by
General Colby will have some effect
on the action of the grand jury and
may possibly end the investigation.
The grand jury for several days is
said to have been considering the
question whether or not the monej
belonged to the state or to the guv
ernment.
Trial Day Is Near.

CURIOUS FOOD COMPOUND.
Old liones , Alum , Flint and Sulphuric
Acid for liaising Bread.
Housekeepers have recently been
BOlicited by some of the giocers and
by peddleis to try another kind of
baking powder "cheaper and just
as good" as they say. This is an
other scheme of some baking powder
manufacturer to get a new brand on
the market by offering the grocer a
large profit. Housekeepers are not
usually much benefited by suih
changes. Alum baking powders are
generally low priced , buti they are
well-known to be dettimental to
health. Large quantities of one of
tnera were recently siezed in New
York , being found to be largely com
posed of sharp pointed grains of
ground flint and sulphuric acid.
Most of the so-called phosphite
powders are mixed with alum. The
manufacturer of a phosphate powder
ha ? patented the process of making
the principal ingredient of his pow
der from bones digested with sulphu
ric acid.
Housekeepers do not want such
mixtures in their food. They should
never encourage peddlers ncr admit
testers or alleged experimenters in
food within their doors , and when
buying baking powder sb < uld net a
brand well-kn wn to be made of cream
of tartar , which is a healthful pro
duct of the grape.

OMAHA , ] STeb' Dec 18-Tne Uni
ted States grand jury yesterday made
Its report to the court , returning
nineteen true bills.
These include indictments against
United States Senator Charles II.
Dietrich , forall-ged illegal leasing of
a building at Hastings , Neb. , to the
government to be used as a postotlice ;
Former Adjulanb General Leonard
W. Colby , for the alleged embezzle
ment of government funrJs ; Daniel

The other indictments were similar
lo that agiinst Allen , but do not involve -

under consideration.
The statute under which the in
dictments against Srn-tor Dietrich
