IN A VERY BAD CONDITION
Calhotm'fl Ofllco Has Boon Found
By thb Inspector.
MISAPPROPRIATION OF FUNDS
Alleged to Ilnvo llocn Mmlo ISy the
Yomm Deputy Sweeping De
nial of All tlio
Bail Stnwnrdfttilp.
The result of the Investigation mnilo. Into
tlio accounts of tlio internal rovcniio oftleo
nt this place , by Spoclnl Agent SpauJInjr , of
the treasury department , apparently conllrm
the reports that have been current for some
llinoof n sliortnsp In the accounts of Mr
John Cullioun , the deputy collocUir , anil ot n
gcnurully bad condition of affairs In. the ot-
flce.
According to Mr. Spauldlnft's report a.
BliortnRO had Been discovered In n number of
accounts. The amount of mono ; ' Involved
has always boon inado Rood by Mr. Calhoun
sonlor , but -ulscrepiuiclcs * UU exist on.
the books" , which are required to show the
amount of stamps sold , and the nutnes and
midroxscft of the purchasers.
When Mr. Peters assumed control of the
oftlco ho receipted for the stamps on hand
nnd these were checked by Mr. Spanldlng
and found to bo correct. It Is alleged tlmt
Mr. Calhoun's shortage will amount to sotno-
thlnf ? ovcr2KO ( , of wnluh sum nuout 51,000
has been paid already by the older Culhoun
Youtifj Calhoun had full charge ot the ofllcc ,
nnd , according to reports , kept the accounts
in a very loose mannor. It Is stated that the
"shortauo was occasioned by the appropria
tion of money sent to the department for
llcunsc.s from various revenue payers In the
stuto. Under the revenue regulations each
brewery with n capacity of f 00 barrels is re
quired to pay $50 a year rovunuo tax and $100
a year for any inornaso over this
amount , A number of brewers who , in
creased the capacity of tholr establishments
during Mr. Calhoun's administration , for
warded the additional $51) ) required but huvo
failed to receive the- necessary license. A
number of retail liquor dealers also claim to
have sent money to the department for which
no licenses have been returned.
It is also alleged that younr ? Calhoun
pocketed something over $300 duo deputies
of the ofllco. This sum was also made oed
by the senior Calhoun.
XounK Caihoun's recent trip to Kentucky ,
was for the purpose , as ho confessed to Mr.
Spauldlng , of inducing if possible a former
employe of the department to return -
turn a . purt of the misappropriated
funds which ho is said to have received. The
cx-ofllcml refused absolutely to dlsporKo.nnu
youiiK Calhoun returned homo and faced the
matter alono.
The senior Calhoun has , become security
for his son until nn examination of his ac
counts can bo mudo by the department at
Washington. In the meantime , young Cal
houn Is in the ofllco assisting Major Dennis ,
Mr. 1'ctws' now deputy , in the work of
checking un his accounts.
Mr. Culhoun , Jr. , was scon by n reporter ,
and in rcspotisoto a iuory | concerning the al
leged shortage in his accounts , said :
"Tlioro Is no truth in the report whatever.
Everything is all right , as an investigation
will prove. It's all rictit , " and then ho went
on nssiatiug Major Dennis in checking u col
umn , of llgurcs.
Collector Peters said ho. was surprised at
thb report , as Mr. Suauldlng had given him
no intimation that a sliortago had boon dis
covered ; In fact had led him to think that
the accounts were all right. "I am not af-
foctudb.v the mutter. " said Mr. Peters , "and
do uot wish to get mixed up with it at all. "

HOW IT HAPPENED.
A Forbidden Frclulit Car Dc.Ht 1-03(8
th Viuiluct.
AVorlc on the viaduct at South Omaha
which was knocked down by an engine
Thursday will bo delayed about
three weeks , as nearly all of the Iron work
will have to bo sent buck to the shops. The
City engiucur estimates the damaga at about
1,800.
City Knpineor J. 13. Morris thinks the
switch train was not run with proper caution ,
but it is impossible for any ono not seeing It
to toll the cause of the accident. "My
theory , nnd'only a theory , is that ono of the
cars caught ihu temporary support post
close to the track and starting
. it , the guy rope was slackened
and the rope catching ou the
refrigerator car the two together pulled
the underpinning and viaduct down. The
wholu lloor and ttoutli side truss had been
swung , and by Friday night would probably
have been safo. There may have beun
negligence by both parties.
F. P. Housh , who has charge of the via
duct work , Buys that ono ot the support
posts wns so close that the cars rubbed it ia
passing , but trains had beou coin/ *
jiast for a month , and if the car
doors had been kept closed tlio
accident would not hrwo occurred. The
train was running very last for thnt place.
H. Van Aulten , driving S.V. . Damns'
team , who had Just fastened a guy rope at
the driveway to Swltt & Company's packing
houses , says that the car door was open ,
nnd when ho saw the train pulling
out faster than ho hail over scon
it during the nlno days ha had boon working
there , ho fcarud an accident. HU team start-
lug , he was attracted away when tne car
atruck thu support post , loosening the guy
line , which caught on 0110 of Swift's refrig
erator cars and all carne down. If ton door
of the Swift car hail bean closed the uccidout
would not have happened.
J. C. Callahau , foreman of switch cro\vNo. _
a , who Is corroborated by all the tram
men , says that the train had just started up ,
woa running only thrco or four miles an
hour , that the posts were sot so close to the
trauk that the passing cura would rub ,
nluidst setting the timber ou 11 ro and that a
notch had to bo cut in ouo of the posts to
allow the trains to pass , aad the Increasing
weight ou tuu weakened post caused it to
bond causing tlio accident.
Only the day bafora the accident City
Engineer Menus notilloti the bridge mem
thattho support posts were too close and
should ho removed.
Mrs. E. Slattcry , of Delhi , La. , says her
eon , 14 years of ago.had n dreadful time with
ulcers , noros and blotches which followed
chicken pox. After using many remedies
Without benefit , she gave him Swift's Spo-
cillc , which cured hlui sound ana well.
Mr. Klcrstaad to bo llnappulntod.
RMr. Klurstcad stated to a reporter yester
day that ho had been tendered a reappointment -
pointment as a member of the board of pub-
lie workv by tha mayor ana that ho would
aocopt the offer.
"How about Mr. Droatch's promise to ap
point another in your pineal"
"Those reports are gotten np by Mr.
Broateh's enemies , who wish to make it ap
pear that ho promises inoro than one person
tlio sntno position. The only ono ho prom
ised to appoint in my place was Mr. Alex
ander and that was conditional on my not
wanting the place longer. I personally
askbd him to do so , ad Mr. Alexander was my
friend and a good man for the placu. "
"How did you coma to change your mind
about retiring from the board 1"
"During the post week I have boon Impor
tuned by a great many business men to re
main. They claim that It requires n year's
experience to become conversant with the
workings of the board ; that I a in familiar
with the work ; that I have worked In har
mony with tbo other members and should
lay. "
"Then you have made up your wind to re
tain your place ] ' *
"Mr. Uroutch has promised to rcappolnt
mo and Ilmvo accepted. "
Mr. Alexander yesterday retired from tha
candidacy for n member of the board which

The announcement of the oulcido of Chat
rlorgan In Sidney Is still the subject of con-
ersixtlon In business circles. The net of the

An Export Opinion.
The bank was organized in September ,
S85 , succeeding the old Exchange banij of
Sidney. The paid-up capital then was $10-
)00 , and it has never bcoix Increased. "Tho
bank , " said a tluancial authority , "was
swiuglng liabilities ' of STO.O.X ) upon a capital
of about SfiXJO ( all told. Up to last year , the
bank had upon deposit the state and county
Tunus , amounting to $ .JttX)0 ) , and this year
> st this and there bun boon a general falling
on" In the business of the institution owing
: o the establishment there of the Merchants'
uank , with n capital stock of SoO.OOO. This
bank cut into the State bank iu a very bad
nanuor , enjoying tuo city nud county funds
ivhich gave it the prestige which its older
rival had lost. "
It Is considered possible that thcso facts
.vltli the oilier that in a fuw days the capital
stock would have to beou increased to Sol- )
000 , had the depressing effect upon Morgan's
mind which lead to his stiicido.

The Last Alarm.
The funeral of I. W. Cooper , the dead
veteran llromnn , took place from the Congre
gational church yesterday afternoon nt 2tO : ;
o'clock , under the auspices of the Veteran
Firemen's association and tlio city tire do-
parUnont. The Hov. G. W. Crofts conducted
the exercises. The body was taken from tho.
residence , 12ii Uunton street , nt a o'clock and
convoyed with the mourners to the church.
The processjon from the residence to the
church was very largo , and many of the
friends carried beautiful tlorul offerings.
The casket rested Immediately beneath a
floral bed wrought of white tlowors with a
few sprays of ferns. A large white rose. ,
formed the clapper , while a line of dark-
colored buds aptly represented a fracture In
the side running from the edge to the crown.
Around the boll In the shape of u wreath
were clusters of heliotrope wrought into
letters forming the sentence , "Tho Last
Alarm. " It was a beautiful and significant
offering and was designed and executed by
Mrs. Cooper's friends. On the casket were
un anchor and pillowromposod of tube and
tea roses , sweet ellssaui and white verbenas.
On the whitu background of the pillow was
wrought In rich purple heliotrope the words ,
"Our ITutner. " Those ( lowers were from ,
the immediate friends and neighbors of Mr.
and Mrs. Coopor. The llreiucn prevented ,
some beautiful nnd appropriate designs.
When the casket was brought from the
residence Wall. McFaddcn's drum corps
softly beat the long roll until it was placed
in the hearse. The pall hoarcrs were
John Madden , Robert , Graham , James
Hradloy , Charles Nicholson , James O'Ncil
and Charles Mitchell. As the cortege passed
thu Central engine house boll began to toll ,
and continued solemnly until Its brazen lips
had tolled out the thirty-nino years the dead
llreman had lived.
At the church the services were very im
pressive. The musicvansUted of an organ
voluntary by Prof. .DuNonnandio and two
solos by Frank Wcscott. Thu remarks by
Mr. Crofts were oonutiful and appropriate ,
and referred to the IcsJohs to bo drawn from
the fireman's lifo , hlsfovor-roadlness to respond -
spend to the calls of duty his bravery that
made him face dcathjin its worst forms , and
face it unflinchingly ; and his sacrilices for
thu good of others , that impelled him un
falteringly to put all'of his own interests
aside for tuo time and sacrillca his lifo if
necessary to save the li.yes and property of
olhors. The concluslon.of nls remarks was
a very beautiful eulogy'upon ' tlio character
nnd Integrity of the deceased. The church
was well lilled , evcr.v 'fireman being present
who could get off duty.r The intormeut was
inado in Fairviow. .
It did not scorn to bo known that Mr.
Cooper was a veteran soldier as well as flro-
inau.or the G. A. K. boys' would'have turned
out in line , but it is u-fact that ha. served his
country liveyears , lacking ouo month. Ho
unlisted in the Fourteenth Ohio artillery at
Columbus wncn eleven years old as powder'
boy , under the name of lion Arnold , and was
afterwords transferred to the navy , whore
ho served until the close of the war.

of time , possibly several months , and
It is hardly likely at the present writing that
thov will bo so far advanced as to warrant
beginning work upon the building during the
present season. It is barely possible , however -
over , that contracts for the excavation maybe
bo awarded before the winter sets in , but
this is all , at the most , ' that can bo expected
this summer.
Supervising Architect Windrlm has not
given the subject of the character of
the building any consideration ns
yet , and uo idea can bo secured as to his
violva on the subject from any of his pre
vious worl ; , ns up to the present time
no plans have been perfected since ho was in
ducted into ofllco. The secretary , however ,
has oxuresscd himself on more than one oc
casion in favor of solidsubstantial buildings ,
and regards the old style of foiloral building
architecture us far moro imposing and ap
propriate for government work than any of
the modern ideas which have resulted iu
such frightful botches in several cities ol the
United States. If Mr. Wlndom's idea Is car
ried out it is probable that Omaha will have
n building something on tlio order of the
treasury building in Washington instead of a
compilation of a dozen different styles , such
ns previous supervising architects have suc
ceeded iu putting together.
