Interview With the Gentle man Who Did the Legal Business For Him l ) He Was 'The Scapegoat of th < Reigning Administration" of Nebraska. And Had to be Scared Away tc Prevent Too Many Foul Smelling Disclosures. Ho May Poulbly Return Wlum the s Others Go Oat. ' " ' _ Hl > eclal Correspondence. tf LINOOLW , April 10. Tim BBE un doubtedly remcinbera Leidtko , the York county statesmen , who in the all of 1S78TfiJ elected state auditor on the republican ticket. In the fall of 1870 a great political scandal waa brewed over the fact that the afore mentioned gentleman had appropriat ed to his own use sundry funds , which , his critics claimed , should have boon covered into the public ex chequer. The supreme court having endorsed the demand made upon him by the governor for the return of Yhis money , Mr. Leidtko refused to COKE TO THE SCRATCH , but incontinently fled. From that day to this his whereabouts nas been merely n matter of conjecture , ho hav ing at various times been assigneda local habitation and a fictitious name in Chili , in the Fadcrland and at var ious other points in the spacious globe. It may seem to Ti ' JT BEE that it is rather irrelevant I bring thia subject up at present , an BO it would bo , were it not for som additional information which has jus como into your correspondent's pos session regarding it. Having happened poned to make a chance inquiry abou the absentee a day or two since , you correspondent waa told that Mr F , a worthy member of the 'Lin coin bar , stood in confidential rcla tions to the ex-ouic'al in a legal ca pacity and was probably THE ONLV PEESON who could give any information con cerning him. Acting on this suggcs tion , the inquibitivo news gloatic "happened" into Mr. F 's offlo this morning and timidly asked tha 'accumulation of profound wisdom. | whcm-ho found there whether ho coul J obtain from him Mr. Loidtko'a ad dress. "What do you want it for ? " querie tbo lawyer , eyeing his interrogate rather suspiciously. "Is it something personal' " aske the legal sharp , still suspiciously. "It is , air , " continued the reporter relying on his cheek to carry bin ' hrough. ; "You wouldn't care to entrust m vith the message ? " inquired Mr. E till desirous of EVAPINO THE MATTEU. "I don't think I ought to , " re plied the mendacious correspondent "You see , it isn't altogether my owi affair , somebody else is concerned ii it. " After a few moments of laborious cogitation , in which his massive brain worked like a trip hammer , the lawyer rummaged around amoni a lot of papers , found what ho wtmtei and made a copy of it. Handing it to the reporter , ho said with some- thin ; ? akin to a sigh : "I take it you pro honest in this matter. If you wish to communicate with Mr. Leidtko , enclose a' letter to him in that addro. s. " The reporter gathered it in solemn ly and read it. It waa the address ( if a prominent barrister at Montreal ' Is Mr. Loidtko in Canada then ? " aaked the reporter. ' ' * Mr. F. gave no direct answer to thia innocent question , but carelessly ap plying the end of his right thumb to the TIP OF HIS NOSE ho made a alight convulsive move mcmt with the lingers , accompanying the same with an oppressive droop of the left eyelid. The reporter "tumbled. " Mi. F. evidently did not care to "givo the thing away. ' ' Forced to bo content with tlio information gained on this point the reporter tried an other tack. "What was the measure of .Leidtko's offense ? " ho asked. "He waa merely a scapegoat , " re plied the lawyer vigorously. "While constructively guilty of the matter charged , he only did what his prede cessors had done without stint. 'In what manner was he a scape goat ? " persisted the itemizer , 'Ho had an unpleasant disposition to look up back records , " answered the lawyer. "He unearthed too many uncomfortable facts to suit the balance of the reigningadminiatration and they roao in their might to crush him , Another campaign was coming pn and it WOULD NOT HE HAFB to allow Leidtko to bo a candidate for re-nomination ; BO various interests > combined to got rid of him. " tf "What intereata do you refer to ? " vf waa hurled at the lanyer. r "Tho State Journal , the State rI librarian , the governor and the eecre- rotary of atato were prominent in it. " I , ' 'How ' did the State- Journal come to figure in the matter/ " "They learned that an undesirable publicity was to be given to their straw bid1 manipulation of the publio printing. " "How were the officers you name Concerned } " "I do not care to state explicitly just how they were connected witl the thing. It is sufficient to say tin they did not cnro to Iwvo Leidtb pursue his investigations. " "Is there any indictment pondinj against Leidtko now ? " "No ; ho never was indicted. Ii fact , TIIK MOMENT JIB SKIPPED the 'mveitigation' was dropped , am those most actively engaged in j-ush ing it took no further interest in tin matter. " "No search'lias been made for hin them , then ? " "None at all. Mr. Lcidtko can , and very likely will , return hero whei the present administration passes oul of power. They will do nothing tc him " Failing to extract anything clso ol any particular interest from the ex- auditor's attorney , your corrcspoii' dent gratefully thanked him for the information thus tendered and with' dro\v. It is not likely , however , thai Mr. Leidtko will over illuminate tl\r streets of Lincoln with the sunlight o ! hin presence. A general opinion pre vails hero that the lamented states man , in taxing his hurried departure , found a surce.ico from complicated DOMESTIC1 KMI1AUHASSMKNTS , which had for : \ lorg time sorely vexed his soul , and that ho would bo extremely loth to voluntarily renew hin position in society. * For the sake of consistency , by the way , and to relieve your corre spondent of the unwitting nasnranco ho gave the lawyer tlmt ho wished to communicate with Mr. Loidtko , it might bo as well to mail a copy of the paper containing this article to the Hon. W. S. Walker. B. 0. L. , Bar rister , Montreal , C.mada. It may ttrike THE BEE that your correspond ent has performed tin's task in a bung ling manner ; but he , with all his modesty , thinks that ho displayed a shrewdness worthy of a fox in fact , Foxworthy.

Spring Wheat Abandoned bj About All But Half a Dozen Counties , "Pinkeye" Ravages Cause n Wuilto Go Up From All Parts of the State , But Cnttlo , Stvhio uiid Sboop Arc In Good Condition. KANSAS CITY , Mo. , April 10. The Journal to-morrow will contain n special from Topcka Riving u summary ot thu condition of Kiiiisan crops tu- ported to the state board of ugricul- : urc : Concerning the item of winter wheat it is estimated thuro has been a de crease in the urea sown as compared with last year. The greater portion of the decrease occurs in the eastern part of thu state , where farmers have for the last thrco years had bad luck in growing it. It is estimated in round numbers that the amount of loss will not bo less than § 500,000. Winter wheat looks nicely at present , and all correspond ents agree that a heavy crop will bo harvested , provided the outlook con tinues aa oncour.igtncaa at the present time. The weather lias boon so favor able that the secretary ot the state board feels warranted in saying that the loss from freezing and other causes will not amount to over 1 pur cent. A majority of the correspond ents ngrco that the early sown wheat promises a greater yield than that put in later in thu fall , and in those instances where the late Bowing is good they are almost unanimous in the opinion that the favorable vorablo winter alone accounts for the fact. Taken altogether , winter whca never looked better nnd never prom ised greater returns to the rgricul turint than to-day. The prosperity in this line of furmingia not confined to any ono section , but is practically universal. The condition of rye is tiaid to bo excellent. The increase in nvorago has been very little about 10 per sent , or thereabout. In the majority af c.iacs the grain is Down for uao in pastures and is regardedns n fine adb stituto for the coarser grasses. With * ho exception of the counties 3f Washington , Jewell , Republic , SlVahaU , Brown 'and pNemaha , the wlsing.qtjiprijg-wheat has boon , alMost , - Most abandoned l > yiW filers of , the soil. Some counties have not rp- ported an acre of this grain within iho past three years Outside of the : ounties mentioned it seems to bo generally agreed that it cannot be iroGtably grown , and where profit islet lot there is the Kansas farmer scarce , [ n the spring wheat counties the irop looks first-rate , and will give nero than ordinary yiold.
