ing as she docs all the fa il < l ci of her
eastern rivals for the direct and im
mediate importation of the labor
products of the old world.
This is an advantage that our ener
getic and liberal minded business men
are not slow to appreciate , for in a di
rect correspondence with the manu
facturers of Europe , they reap bene
fits in the aaviug of onerous charges
at the port of r t arrival , together
with the commissions of the eastern
importer.
Ihose remarks have been suggested
by Mr. John Campbell , collector of
cintuojs at this port , having called
our attention to the advancement
making in this department of the gov
enimerit's bueincss. A number of our
merchants are availing themselves of

LEIDTKE'S PERQUISITES ,
He Bo s Not Propose That They
Shall be Taken f.ora Him ,
A Pure Question of Law and
Not One of Defalcation.
Another Lucky Claimant.
Considerable anxiety has been felt
since the receipt of the news from
Lincoln concerning the action of
Auditor Lsi ka in the matter of in
surance fees recsivcd by him as in
surance commissioner , to learn the
facts ir. tliBcase , it not being bflieved
that the rumors of defalcation ; fraud ,
etc.hadnny foundation.
It appcara that sima days ago it
came ta the kuowUd o of Governor
Nance that thu state auditor had
deji sited the fees in the bank as his
own fund ? , and had drawn against
them for his own use , and he there-
upi n wr > te him under date of July
25th reqni > Etirg him to report in
writinc and under oath to hia office
witv out dtlay , lha amount and kind of
etch class of fi 03 received as auditor
of public account } from January 9 ,
1S70 , up to the 1st day of July , 1880.
Thb demand was made tinder authority
of s c. 22 , art. 5 of the constitution of
the state.
The Governor also notified the Slate
Treasurer ta report in writing under
otith , the amount of fees of all
kinds paid in by the auditor from
irmry 0.1870 , up to the 1st of July ,
1330 , and as fjr as possible classify
the same.
Auditor Ledtko replied that from
January 9,187H , to July ls % 1SSO.
lie had collected olHse fees as Auditor
of Public Accounts amounting to SI ,
105 37 , Tshile the fees received dur
ing.theperiod named , on account of in
Burance , amounted to 7,408.
Treasurer Butlatt re'ponded witli
a statement showing the amount paid
I ito the state treasury on account o
o2ieo fees ffom January 0 , 1870 , tc
August 1 , 1850 , by the following rec
ord from the auditor , July 15 , 1879 :

On the Utth ) the Governor again ad
dresaodMr. Liedtko in regard to th
abive comniunicHti .us , according tc
which § 7EOO 37 remained inthehand
of the auditcraid said iu conclusion :
1 Undoubtedly it was thu intention of
of the legislituro that all fees ann per-
quifites if olfic * , since the ad pLion
of the on > ti-utinn o' 1875 , should bo
piid into the state treasu'y , and from
my imd r I n5i gof the law , I must
iu.-ist tint euch a cutiree shoulJ
bo taken by you , and that all
fee chouid bo piid into that
Li rcp'y to this tha auditor writes
at length. Hd states tint he hss
perforraod the duties required by the
Con tittitim of 1875 , ic eived his sal
ary a d p id his i ffico fo s into the
state treasury. He then follows up
the train of reasoning by which the
supreme court increased Iho salary of
the secretary of etato 500 a year ,
a * .idj'iiant-pcnercl , and by which
Hon. J. B.Yston , the predecessor
of Auditor Leidtke , was allowed to
driw a largo amount of money from
the state treasury after the expiration
of his term of office covering his fees
as land commissioner , and claims tint
the fees of his office as insurance com
missioner arc his perquis'tea , it beinc ; a
septrata oflicc and no other pay bcinx
assigned hiai for it.
In conclusion , ho says : "Tho per
quisites I earn from insurance coinpa-
niea by examining their statement ? ,
and looking after them genora'ly , I
consider well and fairly earned by me ,
and this business in no manner inter
fering with or appertaining to my
proper , lawful duty as auditor of
public accounts , according to the de
cisions of the supreme court , is also
lo ally mino.
The legislature has appropriated
nothing for clerk hire In the perform
ance of t ese duties , presuming , I
z ippose , that the pert uisites will pay
for the necessary clerk hira , traveling
expenses , etc. , and I employ c'crical
hsl ; > myself when I find it necessary. "
The above correspondence was
transmitted by the governor to the
attorney general nith the request lhat
ho take immediate action by proper
legal measures to compel the payment
of said fees to the state treasurer.
The Journal of Saturday saye
it "suspends judgment upon the
Auditor's ca'o until the mandamus ,
which will bo asked for in the supreme
premo court on Monday next by At
torney General Dilworth , shall have
been decided.
The issue had not been made up til
a late hour last night , and the Gover
nor promptly garo the correspondence
to the press yesterday , to ! correct the
rumors of "defalcation" and ' 'fraud"
that has been put in circulation on
the f treats for a day or two back , i
will be eeen that it is merely i
question f jt the cour'a to decide , anc
depends upon the Sta o constitution
as iub'rpreted by the legislature and
4he courts.
Auditor Weston apparently over
locked the point when ht > went out o
office , and did not lay claim to thesi
fees. If the present auditor wins
Mr. Vft st n will fa'l heir to a lilt ! s.e ! <
sum of fibont $6000 , the amount re

GRAPPLING WITH RUFFIANS.
Two Men Attack Wm. Ford
jn North Omaha to
Rob Him ,
But Are Defeated and Leave
Their Garments With
the Viccorv
North Omaha is notorious for the
deeds of violence committed there
and it teems imposjiblo for the police
to check them. About the last place
ono would expect to be held up by
highwaymen would bo on the quiet
streets of that lonesome part of town ,
but it is a matter of fact that thcso
bridges over the creek , of which there
are several , are haunted continually
by desperate men who do not ecruplo
at anything in levying a toll on night
passengers. Many are fortunate
enough to escape by the USD of their
legs but one does not always care to
race homo for hia life , followed by
midnight robbers and assassins , the
aniusmient pills on one after a time.
So thought Mr. Wm. W. Ford , a
carpenter in the employ of
the government , at the corral. Mr.
Ford had a little exparienco a year or
BO ago with these fellows and Friday
night ho turned the t bios and gave a
lesson to the other side of the house.
He lives up in Shinn's addition and
started home about S o'clock in the
evening. He was paid off Friday
morning and it is possible that fact
may have been known to his assail
ants. When near the Pullman L un-
dry , between Twenty-first and Twen
ty-second streets he turned with the
road which then irmkes a sharp curve
totneleft and as he steppedaround the
corner ho was suddenly seized by
some ono in front of him. Ho had
his hand ) in his pockets and had his
penknife in the right hand closedand
when the sudden attack was made he
involuntarily drew out his fist still
c'mching the knife and lot Iho man
have it right between the eyes. Ho
thinks the end of the knife must have
struck him , for ho wnnt down like a
log.
log.At
At the same moment he 'was seized
from behind by the second ruffian ,
who seized him by his clothing. Fcrd
turned quickly to tackle him and in so
doing his shirt , for he was in his sbiit
sleeves , was torn nearly off. Then tl o
struggle began , but it didn't l t lorg ,
Mr , Ford is a largo and muscular man ,
and getting the ruffian by the coat
collar he tore the garment down full
length and and stripped it off of him
in two sections.
Ho also caught on lo his hat which
WEB knocked off in the matinee , and
the fellow , finding himself worsted ,
flid , leaving the to articles in the
hands of his intended victim , who
still has prs'essinu of them. Ho ran
t iwards Hulbert's garden , whi'e his
comrade in crime flow as fast sa his
heels would ca-ry him to the creek , a
few rsds distant.
Mr. Ford did not care to pursue
them , but re'ired ' in good order wi h
the trophic * ( f his hard fought bit lie.
A few such instances of successful re
sistance would have a wholesome effect
on these high-way men , - > nd Air. Ford
is to bo warmly comracndfid for his
pluck.

Grana Excursion.
- There will be an excursion from
Omaha to Noligh , Antelope county ,
Neb. , on the 4'h uf August ( next
Wednesday ) . Ncligh is the western
terminus of the S. C. & P. R. R , and
it will remain so for some years. The
excursion train will leave the Omaha
& Northwestern depot at G a. m. , ai.d 1
will arrive at Neligh by 1:30 : p. m. ,
returning the same evening. Parties
wishing to stop over can leave Neligh
the following day. Faro for the
round trip is $ .j.5 about one-fourth
of the regular rate. There will bo an
auction Bale of lots in the town of
Neligh on that day. This will afford
our business men a good opportunity
to look up the advantages of Antelope
county. The census gives it a popu
lation of 4000 souls , most of whom
have emigrated there within the past
year. Noligh is the principal town in
that section , and is the starting point
of the government freight lines to the
northwest. The whole Niobrara cat
tle region is tributary to Neligh , and
the S. C. & P. railroad contemplates
opening stockyards there this fall.
Tao crops in Antelope county are bet
ter thij year than they ever have been
bsfore. From the outlook of No
ligh wo can safely say that there is no
better opening for investment now
offered in this state , nor ever has
been. jy29tsmt
