Uncoln Cerrespondence: Members
of the smajority4n the legislature, be
ing desirious of making a record for
economy, are interested in the pros
pects of reducing the total appropri
ations below marks set by other leg
islatures. Estimates of expenses
deemed necessary by state omcers and
'superintendents of state Institutions,
not including new buildings, axgrc
gate I2.C13.235. This total Includes
appropriations for. deficiencies
amounting- to $186,785. It includes
also a- deicieiency of $125,000 in
bounties on beet sugar, and a defici
ency of about 150,000 for bounty on
wild animals. The grand 'total acked
to ran the state for two years and pay
the deficiencies mentioned is $2.8L'3,
St. " In round numbers the amount asked
for to defray necessary expenses is
two million and a-half dollars. Tak
ing it for granted that the state insti
tutions can get along on less than -the
amount asked, there is good prospect
for the legislature to finish its work
with a low grand total appropriation.
It is not likely that there will be any
new buildings provided for -by the
coming legislature. Two years a;.o
tae total estimate, was tS.064,373. The
legislature appropriated $2,366,843.
Superintendent Weber of the indus
trial school for girls at Geneva atks
that special appropriation be made
for one new building complete, cost
ing $30,000. He desires to put pupils
under ten years of age in a separate
building.
Superintendent Demerell of the
Hastings asylum wants a ney $30,000
for one detached fire proof building
for female patients. $5,000 for a boil
er and engine house, $10,190 for an
ice plant and storehouse end $5,000
for a barn.
. Superintendent Abbott of the L,:n-
'coln hospital for the insane want3
$60,000 for a new wing to the main
building.
President J. A. Beattie of the state
normal school asks for a $30,000
building to be used for a chapel and
library combined. He wants $3.0d0
for furniture for the proposed build
ing. Auditor Cornell has listed the fol

charge t the arrangements for repre
sentation at the annual convention of
the National Creamery ButtermakerV

Falls, S. D., during the last week in
January, has isued a circular balling

suit from attendance -during the ses
sions and urging a large attendance
rrom this state. It is expected that

prize list will be larger and more
complete than ever before and the ma
chinery exhibit will include all the
most modern devices for scientific but
termaking. An excellent program is
offered which includes carefully pre
pared papers covering every phase of
the creamery business. Aside from

D, A, Campbell, clerk of the supreme
court, says a Lincoln dispatch, has
just returned from a two weeks' visit
to Washington. While there he at
tended a meeting of the state librar
tans of the various states, the object
of the meeting being to form an organ
ization to provide for the free ex-
change of all state reports and docu
ments between the various states. At
present Nebraska, and some of the oth
er states send out copies of all thd
documents produced officially; but
some of the states are not s6 free td
make these exchanges. Mr. Campbell
believes that much progress was madd
at the meeting and that the Nebras
ka state library will herea.rter receive
copies of all the reports and documents
Issued by all the other stales.

A friendly suit has been entered be
.fore the supreme court to decide when
tne term of office begins in a case
where a district .judgeship becomes
vacant, an appointment is made to fill
the place, and a successor is elected"1
at the general election. The conten
tion is between Judge Tuttle and Judge
Frost of this county. Tuttle was ap
pointed by the governor to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of Judge
Hall. Ifrost was elected to the place
at the recent election, and the question
is Whether the term of the newly elect
ed judge begins immediately after thd
election or on the first day of the ett
suing year.

CAN'T WET. HE.
The President's Mtsstfe GaHi the
Spanish Commissidnert -
THEY MAKE BITTER COMMENT.
Seaor Garale Says SprUa Matt Bw Cteared

htaar. ,
Paris, Dec. 10. SenorMontero Rio
president of the Spanish peace com
mission', and Scnor Ojeda, secretary of
that commission, are still confined to
their beds. The illnes3 of Senor Ojeda'
aciays engrossing tho treaty, and it is
doubtful whether it will lie signed be
fore Monday. The Americans held
their usual session this morning. The
Spaniards continue making bitter com
ments conc2raiag President McKin
ley's reference to the Maine.
When a correspondent approached
Scnor Garnica of the Spanish commis
sion for further details of the treaty,
he said: "The exact number of arti
cles. is still undetermined. It depends
upon how Secretaries Ojeda and Moore
divide the treaty. It may be twelve or
twenty articles The Americans are
to pay the Philippine indemnity With
in three months Of the .ratification;
Wc shall appoint consuls id Cuba;
Porto Rico and the Philippine islands
without delay. The Cuban consulwiU
be accredited to the powers-thai be."
Aslrcd why tlia Spaniards refnssd'to
grant the ' United States a coaling
station in the Caroline islands, Senor
Garnica said: ,;The Americans could
hardly expect that we should agree to
discuss matters outside of the proto
col after the lessons we have had from
then on this point. When we wished
to discuss the Cuban debt they abso
lutely refused to consider it; and then
they ask for whatever they . want.
Qacllc toupet! (What cheek). Yet the
Cuban debt remains an important ques
tion for settlemsnt."
In regard to the Spaniards' final
protest on the subject of the Maine,
Scnor Garnica added: "That protest
now becomes history, as.it was em
bodied in tha protocol It is neither
loyal nor just that this thing should
hang over the reputation of Spain. Wo
caunotsnbmittoit. tt must be cleared
up, ia justice to ourselves. There are
many other causes to bring hatred be
tyvosn tiie two nations without the ad
ditioa of such a one as this.
"Jls to the future relations of the
two countries, that is one of the
things history alone can determine.
Mcny nations which have been deadly
enemies arc speedily reconciled."
Seuor Garnica Was then questioned
as to the future of tho Philippine isl
ands and lie slid: "The United States
has inaugurated a policy which Will
bring it much trouble and many re
sponsibilities." The protocol of the treaty will al
most reach the dimensions of a volume,
as it will contain every written state
ment presented on both sides during
the conferences.
The Spaniards made a last contribu
tion yesterday upon the assembling of
the commission?: Scnor Montcro Rios
then presented a vigorously worded
protest, in which the Spaniards de
clared they had yielded to force, but
they invoked the conscience of the na
tions against the abuse of tho rights
of nations, of which they were the vic
tims. The protest was for the pur
pose of record.
The protest concluded; ''Btit these
Concessions which wc were' obliged to
make touch us less than the insult,
which has been afflicted oil odr nation
by President McKinley in his message.
We again protest solemnly against the
accusation hurled against us iu con
nection with the Maine, arid wc intend
-to again submit the question to an in
ternational tribunal, comprised of En
gland, France and Germany, to deter-
mine who shall bear the respdnsibility
of the catastrophe."'
iVn important provision is the guar-
antcc of religious freedom in the Ceded
territories, in tli3 saine .terms as the
Florida treaty, the Americans having
steadfastly refused to incorporate any
guarantca of the United States deter
mination to favor tlu property of the
Catholic ehurcli, leaving it subject to
the general laws, upon the same foot
ing as private property.

miles north of Sedalia, ten 'days ago;
'were arraigned before Judge Rogers
yesterday afternoon. The court .rooai
was thronged with an audience mads
Jip chiefly of railroad men, while many
ladies were present. Attorneys II. 1L
I Shain and J. D. Dale, of Shelby villlel
were present to assist ex-Mayor J. D.
Hastain and John Cashman in the de
fense of West, the two Sedalia lawyers
alono looking' after tho interests of
Stubblefield.
Only three witnesses were placed on
the stand. W. W. Kay, a Missouri
Pacific detective, told about the at
tempted holdup and the capture of
West, and exhibited tho masks worn
by the robbers. Policeman Ed Lovo
told about the capture of Stubblefield
and Robert R. Cunningham, the East
Sedalia butcher, who was oriirinallv
t". il a. . . .,
uuc ui hue gang ui iram ruooers, Testi
fied regarding his connection with the
defendants in the train robbing scheme
and how, on the date of tho attempted
robbery, be backed out and did not
join his pals. He also made the state
ment that he never disclosed the plans
bf the robbers to anyone. lie had
kept still, he said, because West and
Stubblefield had repeatedly threatened
to kill him if lie gave them away:
The evidence Wasdi&appointing to the
crowd because the name of the in
former who kept the Missouri Pacific
j officials posted in regard to the move
ment of the robbers was not disclosed.
The defense offered no testimony, and
Judge Rogers held West and Stubble
field to the criminal court, bail being
fixed at $3,030 each. Both men, it is
quite likely, will furnish bond.

Las Vegas, N. M., Dec. 10. D. n.
Howard, a cattle dealer of Abilene,
Kan., who is $40,000 short on Grant
Gillett, the Kansas plunger, passed
through Las Vegas ycsterdiiy.en route
from Mexico to Topeka, where he will
ask Governor Lccdy to issue requisi
tion papers for the transfer of Gillett
into the custody of the Kansas state
authorities.
Howard and two detectives have
been on Giilctt's trail for ten days.
They discovered his whereabouts in
Chihuahua City, With him is his Ab
ilene attorney, C. R. Troxel, who
helped htm in his flight. Gillett
Would hate been promptly arrested
but for the defective extradition laws.
It Was considered best to leave the
two detectives to shadow them until
such time as matters i.ould be arranged
to capture and extradite them without
the possibility of a hitch in the pro
ceedings. Governor Ahumada was called upon.
Howard says the governor treated him
most kindly, 'and, after hearing his
statement and the story of Gillett's
conduct, very strongly intimated that,
notwithstanding the extradition laws,
executed legal documents on behalf of
the American authorities would fetch
Gillett back to Kansas.
. Mr. Howard further stated that he
had, at Albuquerque, telegraphed tc
the city marshal at Abilene, request
ing the arr.st or detention of two
parties as accessories of Gillett.

The .American Farmer is sincere in
what it says and whenever it endorses
an article, be it machinery, proprietary
medicine, or a man individually, we
want our readers to believe that what
we say we have good reason to under
stand is true. For a year or more
there have been endorsements of the
Swanson Rheumatic Cure Company, of
167 Dearborn street, Chicago, by this
paper. People have written us to
know if this company Is responsible,
and if its remarkable remedies, for the
cure of rheumatism, neuralgia, dyspep
sia, catarrh, kidney troubles, etc. real
ly had merit. We have therefore been
at extra pains to investigate, and once
again we add emphasis to our former
endorsement of that company. There
may be Isolated cases here and there
which, probably through neglect in fol
lowing directions, or from exposure or
some unexplainable reason, the won
derful Five Drops remedy does not do
the work. But it is a case where the
exception proves the rule. Mr. Swan
son is a gentleman of character and
personal Integrity, and, we believe,
would no more attempt to deceive the
public than the writer of this article.
They still offer to send a sample bot
tle of "5 Drops" for 25c or a large
