Some years ago the son of A. Halberg
of Osage City, Kansas, left home and
enlisted in the navy. Nothing was heard
from him until the wreck of the Maine,
when his name was found among those
of the dead. From that time until last
week his parents and friends mourned.
Then came a letter from the lad saying
that he had never been on the Maine,
and that he was alive and well.

The total value of the eggs and chick

year was $290,000,000. The magnitude
of the poultry industry is made more
. evident in the fact that the value of the

and the total value of the pig iron out
pat seldom exceeds $130,000, while the
annual output of coal amounts only to
about $200,000,000.

It looks as though the future was
about to see a different state of affairs in
pnblio matters, at least. There is an
intention on the part of sovereign citi
zens to hold public officials to a much
stricter accountability to law, than some
of them have at times held themselves, I
and in the account below, which we clip
from the Lincoln Journal, our readers
will see that the only surely safe method
for officials is to follow strictly the letter
of the statute without doing violence to
its spirit. The decision was published
entire in last Thursday's Lincoln
Journal:;
Chief Justice Harrison's last official
act as a judge of the supreme court of
Nebraska was to hand down an opinion
holding that the state can recover from
insurance companies the fees paid to
Eugene Moore and retained by him when
he left the office of auditor of public
accounts. The decision came in the form
of a reversal in the case of the state
against the Home Insurance company of
New York in which suit the state sought
to recover $272 from that company.
Judge Holmes of the district court of
Lancaster county had decided that the
state could not recover.-
This decision of Chief Justice Harrison
is far reaching, as it is construed to mean
that the state will be able to recover from
insurance companies the full amount of
Eugene Moore's shortage, amounting to
over $23,000. Nearly the entire shortage
comprised fees paid by insurance com
panies. The supreme court had previ
ously held that the bondsmen of Eugene
Moore were not liable for the shortage
nn tha crmnnd that the fees retained did
nt Kalnncr In t.hn ntnta and that MoOTO
as auditor was prohibited by the consti
tution from receiving the fees. In the
case just decided the court holds further
that the constitution also prohibited the
insurance companies from paying fees to
the auditor. .
Insurance companies have paid fees to
the state auditor in this state for twenty
years, and not until Eugene Moore's term
did any auditor fail to account for the
funds. Since the court's holding that
the auditor had no right to act for the
state or to receive such fees all insurance
companies have paid fees direct to the
state treasurer. Each company after
paying fees to the treasurer receives a
nuwint. nnd hv nrofientinc it to the audi
tor is able to receive the service required.
In prosecuting this suit the state had
to meet the assertion that in suing to
recover from Moore and his bondsmen
the state elected to make the auditor the
debtor and therefore could not afterward
look to the insurance companies for the
money. It was contended by the com
pany in this case that the state's suit
against Moore was in fact a ratification
of his act in receiving the money. The
court holds that no one had authority to
ratify for the state.
The court also overrules the conten
tion of the company that if Moore had
no right to receive the fees then the cer
tificates issued by him and the services
performed by him were void.
The commission appointed by Presi
dent McKinley, under an act of congress

A telegram from Cheyenne, Wyo.,
under date of Jan. 4, sayB: It is report
ed that the engineers who are working
northeast of Cheyenne endeavoring to
locate a suitable route for a cut-off to
avoid Archer hill, six miles east of here,
on the main line of the Union Pacific,
have been successful. The line will be
run so as to leave the present road at a
point one mile and a half west of Atkins
and will enter Cheyenne from the north
west instead of from the east, as at pres
ent. It is said the cut-off will necessi
tate at least one big cut just north of the
city, which will require many months to
dig out, should the company adopt the
new line.

Quoted from an exchange was this
item, which sounds very much like the
current mental science of today: "Men

themselves; they are only receptacles of
life tenements for their minds, and the
will has much to do in continuing the
physical occupancy or giving it up."

after a similar experience to "Betsey j
and I," and by reason of the man's law
yer calling his attention to the poem j
and advising him to read it. And yet
there are those who would try to make
people believe thero are no honest law
yers, when the truth is that there are
very many noble, truthful, as well as
forceful men in the.profeesion all honor
to them, as there is probably no class of
men more strongly tempted to vary from
the straight line of right.
Mrs. Ruth Beaton, known as the lar
gest woman in the world, died at her

length, three feet six inches in depth,
four feet wide at the center, twenty-four
inches at the head, and twenty-three at
the foot. It required eight men with

river bridge were blown off, and Louis
Gebhard, living about four miles west of
Schuyler instantly killed by lightning.
At North Bend, the U. P. wind mill was
torn to pieces. An interesting feature of
the storm at Schuyler was the manner
in which the excursionists returning
from Omaha found their way to their
homes. They tarried at the depot dur
ing the deluge, and afterwards Jim
McGlinchy's boat was brought into
requisition. Carrying but four it took
several hours for the ninety to reach
their homes. Navigation was good up
to eleven o'clock, excepting slight ob
structions occasionally found in an ele
vated sidewalk.

It seems that some man in Lincoln
at one time owned a farm in Butler
county that he somewhat neglected dur
ing the past ton years and about four
months. The farm was in the neighbor
hood of Dwight. The Bellwood Gazette
says that Smith Bouton was on the jury
that recently tried the case, and gives
this further account: "During the ton
years the roan at Dwight broke and cul
tivated about 40 acres of said farm, using
the remainder as pasture land. About a
year ago the Lincoln man asked the
Dwight man to vacate the farm, which
contained about 160 acres of land. The
Dwight man, who ran a fence through
the land and made some other improve
ments, informed him that he would
vacate for a certain sum; but this the
Lincoln man refused to give and failed
to bring suit for the recovery of his farm
until ten years and about four months
had elapsed, which according to law
made the Dwight man'monarch of all he
surveyed. The jurors hung over the
matter for about thirty-six hours, but
after they did arrive at an agreement to
bring in a verdict in favor of the Dwight
man, by a vote they all decided that such
a law was a bad one; but they were com
pelled to abide by it."
