LtXCOLX , Nob. , Mnrch 12. | SDcal | ! to TIIR
HCE. ] Tlio mcmmml of the farmors' nlli-
nn.cc , alleging thnt Nebraska farmers nnd
laborers are sluicing to financial ruin nnd
liliyslcnl degradation under a load ot mort
gage , lins nrouacd n great deal of Indigna
tion. The fooling Is directed to Farmer Uur-
rows , who is regarded as the author nnd
mover behind the memorial , nnd steps uro
being taken to repute his vaoorlngs. A Br.E
correspondent called on Commissioner Jen
kins for light on the subject.
"Tho statements of the so called memorial
nro fnlso and misleading , " said the commis
sioner , emphatically. "It cuts and slashes
without regard to the facts. Before malting
up my report 1 sent to Mr. Burrows for a list
of the secretaries of the subordinate bodies
of the alliance with n view to sending them
Wanks for distribution. Mr. Burrows ro-
pllcd : 'For reasons 1 need not explain , I can
not give the addresses of tbo secretaries of
the alliance.1 Aud then ho coolly proposed
to send the blanks to the secretaries nnd
have them returned through him. Of course
f
I refused to bo put under his control.
What nro the facts ? This department
I sent out 2,500 blanks to the farmers of the
state , selecting their nnmcs indiscriminately
from the stnto garotccr nnd without personal
acquaintance with any of them. Wo re
ceived reports from 210 , ana they show an
encouraging state of affairs. Only 50 per
cent of the farms boar mortgages , and In no
ca o Is there n Hen of that sott exceeding
? 1,000 in amount. Some of thorn nro as low
as t50 , nnd the mortgages nro n trifle
when compared to the value of the property.
"Hero is another fact to-bo borne In mind.
Some of the mortgages were given to rnlso
money for permanent improvements , which
enhanced the value of the property by thnt
much. One farmer writes that ho came to
Nebraska in IS81 with only 35 cents , nnd Is
now worth J3.500. Another has saved $17.000
In sixteen years. A third rented n farm in
1880 nnd got one-sixth of the product. Now
bo owns 1G8 head of cattle free of incutn-
brnncc. The rates on the mortgages vary
from 0 to 10 per cent very few at 10 per
cent , and most of them at S per cent.
"Hero are some suggestive ilguroi from
pur report. There nro 185 farms owned by
those working them and only thlrty-nuo
rented. Amen ? the owners 150 nro Ameri
can and thlrty-flvo foreign torn. Number of
farms mortgaged , 11 ! ) . Avonigo valueJ23.50
porncro. Total value about $1,000.000. Num
ber of farmers who saved money last year
89 , 03 American and 21 foreign born. You
must remember that while many did not
save money , as represented , by nu increased
bank account , a eoodly share earned n sur
plus nnd put it Into improvements. Some
men take up land on a speculative basis and
as soon as they got a title from the govern
ment they slap a mortgage on it. But there
is rarely a foreclosure where the farmer is
Industrious nnd shows n disposition to im
prove his property , and moot his obligations.
Indeed , money lenders often assist such
men , because improvements add to the value
of their security. Agriculturally Nebraska
is as well favored as any state , both as to
the condition of Its soil and its finances. If
you will compare the per contnqo of failures
in business to that in farming- you xvill llnd
the result greatly in favor of farming. "
The Banking hn\v.
LIXCOI.N , Neb. , March 12. [ Special to Tnn
XJEK.l Vice President Bennett and Cashier
Wllbor , of the Omaha savings bank , nre
here Booking an amendment to the proposed
banking'law. iMr.iWjlborexplains :
' "The bill hns'd'clnusb ' requiring' badks in
cities of over 100,000 population to kcc'p on
hand in cash a sum equal to 25 per cent of Its
deposits. That provision would drive us out
business. Our deposits are 1,110,000 , 25 per
cent of which Is $275,000. The bill would ro-
qulro us to keep that amount on hand , and
would deprive us of income on it , although
wo nre paying our depositors 5 poi- cent in
terest for its nso. A statement talien from
our books lost week shows that wo havocash
on hana and in bank to the amount of 8122-
000. Wo own bonds of the city of Omaha to
the amount of $173,000. These bonds only
pay 0 per cent , so that they yield us no profit ,
but we bought them as a reserve , because
they can bo tunica Into c.isli readily. Wo
also hold $20,000 of Douglas county warrants ,
on which wo can raise the cash at any lime ,
nnd can easy rcull/o fJO.OOO to $50,000 on our
collateral loans. lu otlior words , wo hnva
cash nnd securities which can readily bo
turned into cash to the aggregate amount of
nearly 100,000. That ought to bo ample se
curity , mid , you sec , us it is wo are carrying
a largo sum of unproductive money. Wo are
getting a margin of a small fraction over i )
per cant on about $300,000 , , which is not un-
rcasonoblo. "
'
"What remedy do you proposal" was
asked. .
. "Senator Raymond promised to in
sert u clause in his bill exempting
Bavin KS bunks , but it was defeated
,011 the argument that commercial banks
inlgnt claim advantage of the oxumntion by
putting up a sign , 'savings bank. ' That
could have been prevented by defining a
payings bank , which is easy onoueli. For
instance , this definition would draw a dead
line : 'No bank shall bo construed to bo a
sayings bank that buys or discounts com
mercial paper. " And If that were Insufll-
clont they might bava added , 'or which docs
not roqului the presentation of pass books in
nil cases of the withdrawal of any part of u
deposit. " But I um not opposed to llio in
spection or the grading of capital , nor do I
object to the spirit of the provision requiring
a cash reserve. I would suggest a change
allowing savings banks to hold 15 per cunt of
the reserve in good bonds readily converti
ble Into CUHU. That gives the desired secur
ity and rolleves the banks of the lofs from
uninvested funds , Saving * banks uro not
numerous in Nebraska at present , but they
nro bound to grow In number tied usefulness
if not crushed out by ROUIO such burdensome
legislation as is hero proposed. "

Indian Visitors.
LINCOLN , Nob. , March 12. [ Special to
Tim Br.n. } Big Bear and Homo , two chiefs
of the Otocs , have visited the capital to pay
their respects to the governor. They were
In the tow of Batlsto Dorvin. n United States
Interpreter , nnd were accompanied by Mr.
F. M. Barnes , of Gngo county , n former
Indian trader. The Indians came from the
Indian territory to look after business matters -
tors in connection with their old lands and
to plead for the pardon of Whitewater , who
is serving n llfo sentence at the penitentiary.
It will bo remembered thnt nbout seven
years ago they wero. removed from this state
to the territory nt their own request because
the encroachments of the white * ) had become
Intolerable , nnd the government undertook
to sell their lands tn Gngo county. Mr.
Barnes visited the Indian territory to select
the now homo of the Olocs , and In speaking
ot Oklahoma ho says :
"Oklahoma is very much overrated nnd
thousands of people will bo undeceived when
they trot there. The river bottoms have n
good soil , nut the rest of the land is uoor.
It has n thin poor soil nnd the water Is brack
ish. The Poncas have nearly 40i,000 , acres
in that part of the territory , and I doubt if
50,000 arc good for agricultural purposes.
The boomers have been cnuiplntr for twelve
yonra on land that is a great deal better than
that ot Oklahoma , but the thing has boon
talked nnd written of so much that I pre
sume thousands of people will not bo unde
ceived until they go there. "

LINCOLN , Neb. , March 12. [ Special Tele
gram to Tin : Unn.j The errors in the title of
the bill amending the pharmacy law , to
which Tin : Bnu called attention , have caused
n commotion among "druggists throughout
the atnto. The now law raises tlio annual
pharnincy fee to 83. This is the rouson for
renewing registration , nnd druggists have
been questioning the right of the board of
examiners to collect the increased fee. The
mail of Henry D. Hoyden , of Grand Island ,
secretary of the board , has doubled , nnd ho
came to get nn authoritative ruling by tha
governor. Ho was joined by Examiners
Henry Cook , of Red Cloud , Max Becht , of
Omaha , nnd James Reed , of Nebraska City ;
also Druggists W. B. Shryoclr , of Louisville -
villo , and M. E. Schultz , of Beatrice. Tney
were referred to the attorney general and
sunrcmo court , and have been clvon nn un-
ofllclal opinion 'that the law Is not Invalidated
by the irregularities of the title. Druggists
must remit the annual fco before March 24
to save their registration certificates. Secre
tary Boydon says that the board will insist
on the increased fee , and if not paid the
certificates will be forfeited.
Many mils Hopelessly Buried.
LINCOLN , Neb.March 12. | Special to TUB
Dei ; . ] Several senators have been inquiring
anxiously about Ransom's bill to abolish the
live stock commission. It wont to the house
over a month ngo nnd has been lost sight of.
Some of its friends insinuate that Clerk Brad
Slauehterhas boon burying it , but nn exam
ination of his books nnd methods clearly
prove this to bo untrue nnd unfounded. The
bill was put on the house's general file oa
February 8 , nnd Brad presents thobillslu the
order in which they were filed , unless the
house itself takes them up out of their order.
That body has rcnchcd'bills filed on January
39 , and there nro sixty to seventy bills ahead
of the measure in question , although it stands
fifth among the senate bills now before the
house. Those facts glvo some idea of how far
behind its work the house is , and indicates
the hopelessness ot aver reaching many of
the measures Introduced this session.
The Norntnl Schools.
LINCOLN , Nob. , March 12. ] Special to Tnn
BKE. | A majority of the house committee
on universities and normal schools , at a
meeting to-daj , decided to report in favor ot

location shall bo selected by the governor ,
secretary of state and superintendent of
public Instruction. The whole expense in
tills connection to bo incurred by the state
will be the salary of ono teacher , which shall
not exceed $75 per month.

If reports nro to bo given crodcnco there
will bo a sensational cltvorco case In the
family of Charles J. Barber. .
Barber nnd his family live at 2115 Califor
nia street , the family consisting of Harbor ,
bis wlfo and u ton-year-old daughter.
Report has It that Barber bos been ac
customed to treat his wlfo with the most
wanton cruelty , ana thnt on Sunday last ho
became enraged at her for some Imagined of-
fcnso and beat hoi- most brutally. Both her
eyes were blackened nnd most of her hair
bad boon pulled out by the roots. The llttlo
daughter was also beaten and still boars the
marks. .
According to the terrible stories related
by dk7eront members of the Ostrom family
nnd oilier relatives , Barber is a most brutal
and inhuman mnn. His violent passion nnd
ungovernable temper , it is claimed , nro be-
yona control and make him the brute thnt
ho is.
His wlfo is now confined to her bed , the
result or his brutality Sunday night. The
helpless woman's father and mother , Mr.
ana Mrs. A. S. Ostrom , who reside nt 1700
North Twonty-saventb street , remained
with their daughter nil day yesterday and
last .night. A physician was also with the
aOlictod woman.
"The family was afraid to let Mrs. Bnrboi
remain on her sick-bed without some ono
being by her sldo all the time , " said Ernest
P. Ualdwell last night. Mr. Caldwcll was
seen ut his home , 2711. Blonde street. Ills
wlfo is a sister to the wounacd nnd much
beaten woman.
"There would bo uo telling what thnt
brute would do. If ho were permitted to bo
nlono with her wo nro afraid that ho
might finish his Job by giving her a
dose of poison in the medlcino
loft there by her physician. Barber was not
satisfied with almost killing his wife by
choiring , beating and kicking her , but ho
had to strike his llttlo ton-year-old girl in his
infuriated passion , when poor llttlo Edith
tried to intercede for her mother. They had
been to church , and. it was about 11 o'clock
when ho beat Mrs. Barber in the manner
which ho did. When the woman was pale
and white as a ghost , and while gasping for
breath when his hands were crushing her
throat , Edith screamed : 'Ob , puna , don't
whip my mamma that way. ' and nt the same
tluio the poor little thing , almost frightened
to death , tried to intercede by catching hold
of him in some way. Enraged , ho struck
the little girl in the face. She is now wear
ing a couple of black eyes as the result of
her father's brutality.
"Barbor is the meanost'and vilest mnn , I
think , that over "drew breath. He is wealtliy ;
has a beautiful home In the nrtistocratio
portion ot the cilTwentyfirst and Cali
fornia : has a pure 'anU estimable wire and
could roll in luxury and be happy and make
his family happy , 'but their home is a hell.
I will venture to say that a nis
wife has not spent 'a cheerful or happy day in
the past dozen A-bars. This is not the only
Incident , but it Is tbo worst punishment that
Mrs. Barber has' received , at the hands of
her husband. Nond'bf. ' tho' family , except
Mr. and Mrs , Os'trom , will have anything to
do With him. Tito old folks have tried to
keep them togetb6r and this is the first time
that his atrocibds cVuelty has been raado
public , but all neighbors . and all the rela
tives have UnoWn of his brutality towards
Mrs. Barber fof Vcars : He takes such angry
fits that she has Ito" relnaia awav from homo
at times. Ono fii'cht 'sho st&ved hero at our
house' to avoid'hia punishment. ' Ho is a good
business man. M\a \ is hail fellow well mot
down town * and' 'with the boys ho is sociable
and well-liked. But wlionihe reaches homo
ho is old Satan himself. I 'have had friends
who work in bis ofllca tell mo that ho had
often Invited them to dinner or tea with
him , but they refused to go for the
reason that they could not stand to
see a woman abused. Ono day last summer
ho took a friend to dinner with him. After
they were seated at the table something
turned up that didn't Just exactly suit his
fancy , and ho jumped up , began to heap
oaths upon his wife aud then put on his lint
und loft.
"Should j'ouknow Mrs. Barber and should
you happen to meet her and her husband on
the street , and tip your hat as you passed ,
Barber would bo furiously wild His jealous
disposition would show itself it its vilest
form. Ho would curse and abuse her and
would want to know how she happened to bo
acquainted with you. Then when they
would arrive homo she would have to un
dergo n thrashing. Ho can't go to a party erin
in any kind of society without making every
decent and respectable man and woman
blush by the insulting and offensive language
ttiat ho uses towards his wifo. If there over
was a brute Barber is ono. "
Henry E. Ostrom. brother to .Mrs. Barber ,
was present when the above- story was told.
Ho corroborated the statement in its en
tirety , nnd added several other Incidents of
Barber's cruelty.
"I don't speak to the scoundrel , " said Mr.
Ostrom. "My father nnd mother nro the
only ones who will have anything to do with
the brute , and they do it merely for the suko
of my sister. Barber is not a flu man to live
in a civilized community where respectable
women reside. Ho ordered mo out of his
house about a year ago because I interfered
when ho attempted to pounce upon my sister
when she was reprimanding the llttlo girl
for her sauciness. Mas. Barber had then
just loft a sick bed and was sitting
in a chair when her husband
seized her by the hands. She
would have most likely been severely pun
ished had I not interposed. Another time ho
was going to cut me with a grass sicklo. I
go to his house whenever I want to see my
sister and pay no attention to him. One
year ago my father gave us a Now Year's
dinner , at which Barber and his wife were
present. There wore about thirty in the
party. Right there with sisters and broth
ers , relatives and friends , nnd In our father's
house , bo insulted his wife. Ho made him
self obnoxiously offensive aud loft without
finishing bis dinner. Last season during the
heated term ho took his wife and llttlo girl
to Spirit Lake to spend a few weeks. The
first day utter arriving at the lake his tem
per got the best of him and ho came homo ,
leaving Mrs. Barber und the baby tlierc.
Of course they were loft without means ,
and were compelled to return the following
day."If
"If my sister recovers from her Injuries
she will commence proceedings for divorce.
The matter Is in' ' 'tho hands of General
Cowin. All I ImvWto say , in conclusion , for
Barber is that ho la .an unprincipled brute
with no more mbr'alfcituan the meanest and
lowest of men. "
A. D. Touzzulin'wjfo of 2106 Chicago street
Is also a slater to Mrs.-Barber. They are nil
very indignant , ai)4. ) can't say too much to the
detriment of Barber /an his bruUlity.
Barber wasseoiu&ftlflVosldonco last night
and ut first dcclinifln tq say anything about
the matter , preferring , , lie said , to write a
statement to tno iMliers for publication to
morrow , but finally was convinced that it
were better for htpu.tluit he should make
some statement in connection with the affair.
"Tbo whole stocy'-.ho said , "Is a base
fabrication , and was started by my brother-
in-law , Ernest Caldwell , u man to whom I
have not spoken for years , to Injure mo.
There may have bopu alight differences in
my family , but there has boon no such
things us reported , li'nis man Cald well is a
drunkard and goes homo scarcely a eight
sober. The whole thing is a Ho , and I shall
bring suit for criminal liliol against the
paper that publishes it. "
The reiwrter asked \t \ bo could see Mrs.
Barber
"Sho Is at homo , " suul Barber , "but
doesn't euro to sue anyone , us alio has friends
with her ; but she will sign n declaration
With mo that the whole story Is a lie. "
Harbcr'rt statement.
At a late hour last night the following
statement was received , giving the. reader a
chance to druw inferences to heart's con
tent :
To the Editor of TUB Buc : In this even
ing's World an article appeared headed ,
"Beat His Wife , " which says that I un
mercifully iKHimloil my wlfo and toru her
hair , and did almost everything mean and
brutnl nnd quotes ono Ernest Cnldwcll as
being the author of the Information. Per *
mil mo to say the statement Is false from be
ginning to cntl. I did not boat my wlfo. She
hni no black eyes ami lost no hnlr by force
on my pnrt. Nor tlltl she over loclc herself
In her room to escape my wrath.
Nor did 1 over -kick In a door.
Nor did she over stay all night
at Caldwcll'ft ' to escape my fury. The
differences that wo may have hful hnvo been
such ns Is not umtsal in many households ,
which were lee trilling to bo aired before the
public , out the unfortunate pnrt lu my case
Ls that I have n drunken , gambling , dead-
bent scoundrel for n brotlior-lii-law. In the
person of Ernest Caldwell , wo having been
.bitter enemies for a long time , and ho has
oiwnly threatened to ruin mo m'n buslncs
way because 1 notlilcd his wlfo In writing
to never enter my house again
nnd I ordered him out of ray ofllco , and mj
Wlfo docs not associate with or speak to him
Thl * man Ernest Caldwell Is the strong
scented scoundrel who was ROino years ng <
discharged for doubtful methods ns book
keeper by Downy & Stone. Ho later tioltt n
position with Frank J , Unmgc , but was sum
mtirfly bounced fordrunkcnncss and gambling
nnd goncrnl cussedncss , nnd who for years
never wns sober , and often laid out all night.
Ills wlfo Is n mischief maker nnd several ol
her brothor-Iii'lnws will not permit her to
enter their homos. The causa of the ani
mosity ngnlnst mo Is that I have succeeded
better in life , financially , than they , and beIng -
Ing Jealous of my success , have thrown every
obstacle In my way , and have been the causa
of what llttlo trouble that has over existed
In my household ,
I have boon engaged in business In Omnha
nearly twenty-two years nnd have , I trust ,
gained u reputation ns nn upright , honest
business man that will not bo turnlshed by
such a disreputable scoundrel as Caldwell ,
whoso llfo was once Imperiled In my house
by his wlfo drawing n revolver on him und
threatening to kill him. " >
This Is not signed , but presumably Is In the
handwriting of Darbcr , as a note accom
panying It bears his signature.
Tbo following is appended in tlio snmo
handwriting :
"I have read the above statement and the
name is true in every particular. I dcslro no
divorce proceedings or separation , and am
now livinc nt homo with my husband and
daughter , and expect to so remain during
the remainder of my life.
