Kdmumt Laihntn , nn utsed farmer living In Hardln township , Is the proscctitlni ! wltnoM. His story of the dim- cully between himself nnd MuMnbon Is sub- slnntlally ns follows : Two Judgments were secured against his property , npjtreiiiitliiK Jl.iiUO. Latham wanted to pay off the Judgments , and as no had not tlio necessary cash , ho wont to Mc- Mnhon , who was then in the loan huiino s In this city , and ho had him negotiate ti loan of $ l , < > 00. This loan was secured in May , I'WJ , and McMahon was appointed as Latham's nRcnt to pay off tno Judgments and liavo the property freed from cticumhrance. Latham did not find out for norno time that McMahon had gotten the money , but had failed to pay off the Judgments , but as soon ns no learned of II ho went to see MCiVahoii , who at once acknowl edged that ho tiad appropriated tlio money , out promised to got it as soon as possible nnd put it to thu use for which It was Intended by Latham. I'ho affair was allowed to drag along for several years , McMaiion putting Latham off with ono pretext or another , until finally the case was brought ncforo the crand Jury and ho was indicted for em bezzlement. I'or some time after the indict ment nothing could bo learned of his wtiorc- auouts , hut lie was finally located in Chicago and brouzhl to this city In the charge of Sheriff O'Neill to stand trial. The case was brought up yesterday after noon and Latham himielf was the lirst wit ness. Ho proved not to be n very satlslac- tory one , either for the county attorney or for Attorney Ualdwin , who appeared for the defendant. ilo was evidently afraia of giv ing away something that might Injure his case , nr.d refused to answer many of the simplest questions that were put to him on cross-oxaminntisn , with the result that the court had to interfere half n du/.on times and coniDol him to answer. Thu antics of the witness and the consequent disgust of the attorney proved a vast source of amusement to the audience. Mrs. Latham , wife of the llrst witness , testilicd to the facts as they had been set forth in the indictment , and court then adjourned until this morning , when tuo tuning of testimony will be re sumed.

I The searching Inquiries that the post- ollico department has been making with re spect to the successes , If any , that have been Accomnllshcd by the posttnttster * In different parts of the country , show the following re sults with regard to Nebraska : Henry J. Strelght , postmaster of 1'ltitts- mouth , has paid great attention tu any com plaints thai have been made mid has used greal efforts to remove Iho irregularities. The postofllco has been moved from a dark room to light , cheerful ones , and the differ ent windows are more ucccsslolo. The postmaster - master has pcrxonaily spent about ? : IOU for these better accommodations. There Is con siderable demand at 1'lattsmouth for free delivery , but the population Is not yet suf- llcient. Mr. Strelght is rather sorry that the Inspectors do not have time to vMl him oftener , as ho might possibly ho able to prollt by their aJvico. At Hastings , .1. U. Heartwcll rearranged his onico so that tlio work could bo done to bettor advantage nnd Induced tin ) owners of the building to give him additional room without extra cost. Postmaster Heartwoll collected a line directory for the carriers so that ns few letters ns possible mtirnt remain undelivered , and got up a list aisn of all per sons who wnro lixoiy to receive mail through thu boxes. Thu result Is that practically all mall matter can bu delivered without any delay nnd hardly any liaj to bo advertised. Hastings certainly helps to decrease the dead letter list , The postmaster advertises what , oiv have to bo advertised at his own ux- penso. The local papers take n great interest in the service and In that way greatly help to improve it. A bulletin announcing the arrival of mail trains , and saying whether thov are late or not , Is put up In the front of theofllcc. IT. \Valcott brought to his duties at Fre mont the experience and enterprise of a busi ness man. lie spout twelve or fourteen hours a day at the llrst mastering tbo details of his ofllco. He made the mon&y order busi ness hours the sumo as bankIng - Ing hours. The carriers have no other work than that of delivering nnd collecting , and hence are cnauicd to give the business part of the town more frequent service. Two city papers publish the list of undelivered loiters , wblch , however , is small. In a general way the caty papers are of great assislauco. U is found by Iho department that G , ll. Cere , postmaster at Lincoln , has carefully organised his ollico from the beginning. . Thu advertised list of letters has greatly decreased - creased by the employment of a very efll- clent directory clerk. Seven additional car riers have been put on and the carrier routes cover , for the lirst time within Ihe his- lory of Ihn city , the entire cor porate limits of the city , with sometimes as many as four deliveries a day. The money order iorvico has nnl made an error. After Iwo or Ihreo attempts an ontirelysaUsfaetorv clerk was put in charge of the registry di vision. The Invostigalions show lhat T. S. Clark- son , postmaster nt Omaha , has ureally sys- lemizcd Iho work in Iho Om.iha ofllce. Ilo has hold his chiefs responsible , and by courl- ing Investigation : has reduced Ihe number of comtilaints of irregularities in the service tea a minimum. Postmaster CUrkson devotes his entire time to the oDlcc , mixing with thu omolo.vcs nnd inspiring them with hU own spirit. Ho has made close connections with all the trains , and by talkin ? with business men , editors nail citizens , has gathered many good ideas. Not long ago the postmaster received 250 com plimentary references to his service , and many personal calls to the same effect. Seven clerks and sixteen carriers have been added to the force. The local nostollico novvs and Iho frequunl articles of In lerost published by Iho local papers greatly enhance the value of the ofllco. Postmaster Clarlcson is known to have a verv ofllcient force about him. J. M. Glasgow of South Omaha distin guished himself the first thing by buying for some $300 what his predecessor had tried to get $1,800 for. Mr. Glasgow toolc a pleasanter - anter room in a now UricK block. Now star route service in the neighborhood was put in operallon , and now service bolwcon the post ofllco nnd the railroad station was put , on. Mr. Ulascow , It is evident , lias proceeded on the right principle , for ns he is responsible for the conduct of his ofllco ll Is proper lhal he should have a loyal force about him , and this he has surely secured.
