A Hallway Cashier Goes AVronjj.
Clinton L. Bartlett , who has been for two
years and a half cashier in the Chicago , Bur
lington & Quincy ofllce in this city , is in
grief For some time his love of horses and
sports has aroused suspicion that the neces
sary expenditures for such indulgences could
uot bo legitimately squeezed out of his salary
of $90 a month. General Agent Marshall has
bad implicit faith in the young man's integ
rity , until this seeming discrepancy between
Income and outgo came to his attention. A
close watch has since been put upon the
cashier , and the company employed ono of
its .secret force to work in the ofllco and
gather up evidence.
Several days ago Stove Melio , chief of the
Burlington detective force , came over from
Omaha and bus been closely watching the
suspected cashier. lie stopped at the Pacific
house , where the young man boarded , and
was In his company a great deal. Enough
was finally learned , and then the blow fell.
Bartlett has not been formally arrested , but
Is ninder street surveillance and has been
given to understand that If ho attempts to
Bit away ho will bo lodged behind the bars.
uring the past few days he has been en
gaged In assisting the expert accountant in
checking over the books. The Investigation
was completed yesterday , and it was found
that the shortage amounts to $ J,1W. ! 10.
The books were found to bo absolutely cor
rect In every particular , the cash balance as
represented being short nearly ? , yiX ) .
Hartlott has been In the employ of the com
pany for six years , and worked'up from the
position of car checker to that of cashier.
Ho gave good , satisfaction In that position ,
and has been very highly esteemed by the
business men of the city with whom ho was
brought in dally contact. The news of his
fall came like a peal of thunder from a clear
sky What ho did with the money is a mys
tery Ho is extremely reticent about the
matter , and will only state that ho lived too
fast. Even this does not afford a
satisfactory explanation , ns the greater
part of the money has been spent
within a very short time , as the
books were checked up throw months ago ,
und everything was then all right. Ho do-
nles that ho has gambled , but his fall is at
tributed to wine , women and cards. Ho spent
little money for dress , being very unostenta
tious In npi > ouraiicoIn fact he was rather
careless than otherwise about his dress. Of
late Ids Irregular habits have told on him ,
and ho became careless in his work. Ho was
requested to give his work closer attention ,
but no change for the better was apparent ,
and on the nrct of tlm month ho was notilled
that ho would bo relieved today. The theory
of the oftlclals Is that Bartlett was i > orhaps
J K ) or 700 short on the llrsl of the month , as
that amount could easily have been covered
up , but the larger hum of f ! , ' , ' 00 could not
have been ,
When notilled that ho would bo removed ,
ho realized that oxiwsuru would Miroly fol
low , and It Is supplied that ho then took
more of the company's money , probably about
f 1.500 , and lost U in gambling In trying to
win back enough to square himself with the
company. The head oMIeer.i of both the Hur-
llngton and Kansas City roads were notilled
two weeks ago that Bartlett was to bo re
moved , and the auditors were went on to check
uj ) the books. The defaulter's father , Mr. K.
T. Burtlett , of Lullno , Kai. . . was notilled lost
week thtit there was a shortage In his son's
accounts , but he wus hick and unable to como
and Ids wife arrived hero Saturday night ,
blnco which time she bus boon engaged In try
ing to nettle up matters with the company.
It is understood that the shortage will bo
made good , although It will cripple the Old
folks to inako the Ntittlcment , and there will
bo no criminal proceedings instituted.
Last summer Burtlett , who is a single man ,
was keeping u mistress at Paclllo Junction ,
but his superiors got word of It , and ho was
Informed that ho must give up either the
woman or his position , and ho chose to retain
Iho Utter. Bluce then ho has apparently been
all right , with the exccpllonof drinking more
than was advisable.
Little sympaty Is felt for the young man.
who has brought the trouble oti hlnwlf. but
the deepest sympathy Is felt for the old folks
who have been disgraced and rendered near
ly penniless In their old nge by his weak and
foolish uctiona.
A local paper states that "the Hurllncton
hns been very unfortunate with its cashiers
at this point , having lost many thousand dollars
lars In the past fifteen years by Just such
transactions. " Tills Is a rank Injustice to
Messrs. Oeoi-fro Merrill , John A. Kint/ .
Kit-hard Trumbtill , Miss Mary Keith and
William Henderson , all of whom have held
the position within the last fifteen years. The
only defaulter besides Bartlett was Kd r utt ,
who appropriated f.V.'OO of the company's
money about twelve years ago , but It was
paid by Ills brother. Colonel Nntt.

A few days ago Tun BIB : suggested that
certain changes bo made in the city street
lighting system , so that light would bo fur
nished on cloudy nights and the light would
bo run after dark and not during daylight as
heretofore. The committee on lights Investi
gated the matter , and hereafter the chief of
police will order the lights turned on at
dusk. On nights when the schedule calls for
the moon , but that luminary is hidden behind
the clouds , the night captain of police has
been authorized to order on the lights. Under
these regulations the city will always bo
lighted without any needless expense ,
although the lights must bo on as many hours
as the schedule calls for.

Cottrell was formerly aiuinsuoctor of cus

Nnw Yoitic , May 11. Regarding the rob
bery of John II. Wallace , editor of Wallace's
Monthly , Inspector Byrnes said this evening
that the party who stole the $50,000 , worth of
bonds from Wallace was Leslie McLcod ,
assistant editor of the magazine. It was at
first supposed that young Robert Wallace
stole thorn. McLcod has been identi
fied by nn olllclal of the safe
deposit company as the man who
went to the vaults on Wednesday
and on Thursday morning the bonds were
missing. It is known that young Wallace on
Thursday afternoon negotiated § 10,000 worth
of bonds. On the sumo day he took a steamer
for Havana. The amount of bonds and
money stolen is $10.000. Great surprise is ex
pressed nt the action of young Wallace , who
wus a very distant relative of his benefactor.

After the muling and adoption of the

II. I ) . Hoyden of Grand Island then read
the report of examiners of the state board of
pharmacy which , after n somewhat cxlmust-
ivo revision of the history of the association ,
Btiowed that In the state of Nebraska there
seemed to bo general harmony in regard to
the enforcement of the pharmacy low by the.
board. IMmrnm.'ists to the number of
Inil ) had renewed their registration for
1SW. There are IW ) to hear from yet ,
and to whom , on the ! iOth lust. , the hoard , ho
said , would Issue ten days' notice to comply
with the law. Of this number many retired
from the drujt business and did not wish to
renew ; some had removed from the state and
some had died.
In 1887 there were registered pharmacists
l.liSlt , and during the year 80 were added ,
placing on the hooks March 1 | 18SS , 1,475.
During 1SS ! ) there were added KU , making
the total 1,1503 ; during the same period the
loss by death and cancellation was 10S ; the
number of delinquents up to May 1,1800 , was
150. leaving a present membership of 1)75. ! )
The average loss by death and cancellation
had been about ! l per cent per year. If the
same poiventiiKO of the 1DO delinquents should
pay on the receipt of the ten days' notice , the
total registration would bo 1-lO.j.
It hud been suggested that the annual dues
bo reduced tel per year , but that sum was
deemed Inadequate to support the organiza
tion. In some years the receipts had not
been adequate to cover expenses. There bad
becn'ii decrease of 10. ) in the membership the
last year , owing to removals , death and re
tirement from business.
The belief was expressed that Nebraska
had the best pharmacy laws in existence.
Chief among the objects of the association
were the benetlts to the members as pharma
cists. How was this afforded ! First , by pro
tection against unworthy and unqualiticd
druggists ; second , by protection against mis
takes ; third , confidence of the people ; fourth ,
lifting pharmacy from a mere business to a
profession ; fifth , as the result , the broader
and more intelligent conception of the phar
maceutical profession.
On motion of Mr. M. E. Shultz of licatrtcc ,
mid amended by Mr. Kulm of Omaha , the
report of Secretary Hoyden was adopted and
the thanks of the association tendered the
gentleman and the board.
The report of the committee on the presi
dent's address was rend and unanimously
adopted : It WHS as follows :
"The recommendation of the president
that more papers should be read at our meet
ings is one that evorv member should take
personally to himself. ' Short papers are sub
jects that are of interest to the fraternity.
This cannot bo urged too strongly.
"Tho president's suggestion to change the
name from pharmaceutical to pharmacologist
is not in concurrence with the opinion of this
committee. Every phnrmacistshould perfect
himself as such rather than simply acquire a
competency to sell.
"The points made by the president on
Sunday closing are well taken. The
proprietors of drug stores should
sea that same are closed on Sunday as
much as possible. The committee further
urges the necessity of all druggists calling
tne attention of physicians t6 the fact that
many of the copyright preparations on the
market are not what they purport to be , and
show them preparations of the pharma
copeia and national formutory as being arti
cles that can be depended upon and urge
their use.
"Tho prohibition question is ono of such
great interest and widely different opinion
that we. would refer it to the house for full
discussion.
"Tho committee does not deem it expedient
to nominate members of the board of exam
iners by ballot , the possibility of all being
chosen from the same or adjoining cities being
our objection. "
The election of three members for the board
of pharmacy to bo chosen by the state board
of examiners , was then ordered. The fol
lowing nominations were made :
E. .1. Seykora of South Omaha , A. II. Far-
rans , Hastings ; A. P. Hunt , North Bend ;
Vf. D. Ilnller , Blair.
Farnins , Hunt and Ilnller having received
the majority of the votes were declared
elected.
The successful candidates responded with
brief but appropriate speeches , Messrs. Hnl-
ler and Hunt dwelling with particular stress
upon the question of prohibition. Hr. TlJl-
ler thought all pharmacists should light the
move with all their might ; that it devolved
upon them as honest and reputable business
men with the interests of the whole common
wealth at heart. They might argue that the
prohibition inovo would bo money in their
pockets by reason of the extirpation of the sa
loons , which in uowiso interfered with the
business of the druggist on the Iowa plan.
Air. Ilullor was enthusiastically applauded
and endorsed by the members in convention.
Mr. Hunt said thatif prohibition carried the
would bo waiting
druggists driven gray-headed
ing upon their customers applying for spiritus
frnmcntl for medicinal purposes. Ho coin
cided with Mr. Hullcr and advised united
action on the part of the association.
Mr. Kuhns made a motion that the prohibi
tion question bo relegated to the committee
on resolutions , with instructions to report
in the afternoon. Carried.
Adjourned until a o'clock.
At the afternoon session there was a full
attendance.
Telegrams wore read from various state
associations which were in convention , and
were placed on lile.
The secretary read the names of a number
of applicants for membership , giving their
age , business standing and qunllllcations. No
action was taken ,
The committee on resolutions , to which
had been referred that portion of the presi
dent's address referring to prohibition , pre
sented their report , which was adopted , with
only two dissenting votes , as follows ;
Whereas , The reMilts of the operations of

N. W. Blxby of Hurdy , ono of those who
oppposed the adoption o'f the committee's re
port , stated that ho was not in favor of the
report because ho thought the prohibition
question was ono with which the druggists'
association had notljliig to do. They should
not hold themselves up to the people as sa
loonkeepers or as prohibitionists. Whatever
the individual opinions of the mninbuiii might
ho , ho did not think it was good policy to
commit the assoelatioh as a body to either
side of the ( lue.stlotl. '
