At the opening of the afternoon siMsion
Major Post again went ufon the stand and
was a kcd bv Mr. Lnmbortson :
"Whomaiioouttho coal vouchers which
you checked t" .
" 1 ho coal company , I suppose , " answered
the witness. , .
"It was the satno with the Hour , was It
notl"
"About the same way. " .
"You don't know when the dally bills came
with the goods ? "
"Only as the report showed. "
"You commenced weighing the coal in
January , IS'.fJl" . . . .
"Yes. sir ; thosupcrintcndctitwasdissatls-
lied with the mine weights. "
"Was there anything to arouse your sus
picions ! "
"The largo amounts ; possibly had some
thing to do ivlth the matter. "
"Havo you nnv Knowledge of thn amount
of coal charged during July , 1801 ! "
"Only what the vouchers show. "
"Why were you suspicious of the April ,
1891. bills ? "
"Tho largo amounts. "
"What did you do in the matter ! "
"It was not in mv province to do any
thing. " , ,
"Don't you know that 701 tons of coal for
December , 18'JO , was excessive ? "
"I don't know as that was tlio amount. "
"Did you see these vouchers before they
'
went to'tho board ? "
"I did. "
' "When did you cuter the amounts on your
books ! " _ _
"After they were approved. "
"Were they received from month to
month ! "
"Yes. sir. "
"What did you do with them ! "
"Wo discussed them. "
"You thought thcro was a steal in them. "
"I never said so. "
"Did you not say that you had sus
picions ! "
"I testified that they aroused my curi
osity. "
"Boforo dinner did you not testify that
they aroused your suspicions ! "
' I don't remoaiDor , " answered the major
Mr. Webster entered a very vigorous pro
test to the line of examination. What sus-
Iilclons the witness had did not count.
"After your suspicions were aroused , why
did you hot weigh the coal instead of wait
ing until IS'1' ?
"That was the business of the superin
tendent. "
"Did not the fact that there wcro 741 tons
of coal used in November arouse your suspi
cions ? "
' I do not know as that was the amount ,
sir. "
"Do you know of any flour having been
weighed twice ! "
"I don't know flour
as any was over
weighed. "
"Then , as I understand It , all that you
know about any Hour or coal having been de
livered is from what information you gained
by checking what you saw delivered ! "
"Yes , sir ; that's the case as I remember it
now. "
Tnllen from tlio Htnte'fl UnnkK.
The second witness of the day was C. C.
Caldwell , a deputy from the ofllco of the sec
retary of stato. What ho brought with him
was a tabulated statement showing the
amount of coal used at the asylum. The
statement was made up from the vouchers
sent in by the coal companies.
"Does this show the price of the coal ? "
nskcd Air. Wcbstnr.
"Wo don't know the price , as that does
not appear on the books. "
"Did you check tills with the vouchers ? "
"No , I Just copied from the books. "
The list shows that In 18S7 the state paid
511,502 ; 1889 , § U.8B ! ; 18S9 , ? lSiJS4 ; 18'JO , 14- ,
S9U : 1801 , ? iU7.V : ! IB'.B , * 10,225.
Mr. Webster said that the list showed that
when the extra largo amount of coal was being -
ing used , the facts wcro that the amount
was less than during the same months of the
t r jcedlug year.
Judge Doano suggested that with the state
the fiscal year did not begin on January 1 and
end with December . ' 11. This was admitted ,
nnd Mr. Webster replied that ho would have
Ills man make the changes.
The bill showing that the legislature of
1891 provided J12.000 to cover the deficiency
iQr supplies at the hospital was offered In
evidence and admitted. This was to show
that the members of the legislature luiew of
the shortage.
JlopkuiH Tolln or the Convicts' l.uhor.
Dan H. Hopkins , when ho went on the
- stand , was asked if ho hoard the testimony
of George Coy , who testified regarding the
cell house. The witness had not heard the
testimony. This brought the cell house
matter before the court. Hopkins was war
den at the penitentiary at the time when
Vorgan was building that cell house.
"How much work would the convicts do
in a day ! " asked Air. Webster.
"About two-thirds as much as a citizen. "
"Would these men stand around and
watch visitors ! "
"No , sir ; they would not ; they were not
allowed to do so. "
"What kind of men were selected to work
on the cell house ? "
"Good , strong , able bodied men , so far as I
know ; wo got as many stone masons as wo
could Jlnd ; there was nothing in the story
that men who could not stand the work
were turned over to Dorgan. "
"You were Athero on behalf of the state ,
wero.you not ? " asked Air. Lambcrtson , on
cross-examination.
"Yes , sir ; that is truo. "
"Does riot the contract allow the contrac
tor to select his own men ? "
"Yea , sir. "
"How many stone cutters did Dorgan
start with ? "
"Ten or twelve. "
"Glvo mo their names. "
"I think there was Bogy , Duncan , Jones ,
McGulro , AlcNlnch , White , Morgan ; the
other fellows 1 don't remember ; 1 think there
was a man named Moore , but don't remem
ber. "
"Do you think thcro were any others ? "
"Yes , Shields. "
"How many learned that trade In the pen
itentiary ! "
' There was.loiios , Duncan and AIcGulro , "
I think. "
"You think a convict will do two-thirds as
much work as a cltl/.cn ; do they work as
wtoll for the state as for a contractor ? "
"I think so. "
'You had no interest in seeing this work ! "
"No moro than to keep them from loallng. "
"Where were the window grates for the
new cell house taken from I"
"From tlio old building which was formerly
used as a prison. "
Then Air , Hopkins was allowed to go his
Unties ot tliu ItdipniiilttnU.
Mr. Webster hero offered the record book
of the Hoard of Public Lands anil Buildings.
Ho said that his purpose was to show the
impracticability of the board going into the
detail of examining every thing that was
presented ut their meetings.
Several pages of the record were read
touching upon Juno , 1MI1 , meetings. This ,
Mr. Webster snld , was to show the magni
tude ; of the work Imposed upon the resiumd-
outs.
outs.After
After listening to the rending for half
an hour Justice Maxwell suggested that the
attorneys agrt-o upon some month which
would represent a fair average of the busi
ness transacted ,
H. H , TownJny , the clerk of the State
Hanking Hoard , was sworn and asked ; "Can
you state how many meetings the board hold
slnco January 8 , 1MU J"
"Yes , sir : sixty-two. "
'Wero all respondents members of this
boanU" asked Mr. Uimbcrtsou ,
"No ; the attorney general Is the only ono
who is a member , "
' Have you examined these records to as
certain how many meetings Mr , Hastings
attended t"
"I have not. "
"Hero's a meeting of January 28 , JS'Jl , at
which I see Mr , Hill was the onlr member
present ; do you count that a mooting ! "
"Hero's another meeting where the records
how that all you did was to adopt n resolu
tion : do you count that as a meeting ! "
"Yes , sir. "
"Woro there not meetings at which there
were Investigations held that were con
ducted by Mr. Hasting * ! " asked Mr. Web-
l tor.
JudgeDoane objected , stating that the
record was ( he beat evidence of such fact ,
provided U existed.
Witness was handed the book and made his
examination , hut could find no record of any
such Investigation. Ho explained that
some thin ITS happened which wcro not Miown
by the books.
Brad Cook , an employe In the land com
missioner's ofllco , was willed. The witness
was the keoer | of the record of the Board of
Purchase and Supplies.
Work In Humphrey's Odlre.
To show the amount of business which the
board transacted , Air. Webster read the
record of one of the meetings ,
"How often arc the meetings held ? "
"Onco every three months. "
"Havo you charge of the records of the
Boanl of Kdncational Lands and Funds , and
are the respondents the members ? "
"Yes , sir. "
"How ninny meetings wcro held in 1391 ! "
"I don't know , but a ercat many. "
"Air. Cook , nro jou'tho clerk of these
boards ? " asked Mr. Ixitnbcrtson.
"Thoro is no clerk ; 1 usually write up the
meetings , " answered tlio witness ; "It don't
take long to dispose of the business of anyone
ono meeting. "
The work of tno Board of Purchase and
Supplies consists principally of letting the
contracts to the hlglicst bidder , docs It
not ! "
"No , It don't ' , " replied the witncss.sllghtly
in I ( Ted.
"Tho members of this board don't ask tor
vouchers ? "
"No , all the board has to do is to award
the contract ; the clerk docs the checking. "
"How many men are in tlio ofllco of com
missioner of public lands and buildings ? "
"Ten , besides the commissioner and the
deputy. "
"That's all , " remarked Mr. Lambcrtson.
' No It's not , " answered Air. Webster , "for
It opens a now subject. "
With this ho went into an inquiry of what
were tho.duties of the clerks.
"How many hours dally do these clerks
work ? " asked Air. Lambcrtson as the wit
ness was leaving the chair.
"Six hours each day , thrco In the morning
and thrco in the afternoon.
Wlillci AlnniiRliig Knllroixlg.
W. A. Dilworth , secretary of the State
Hoard of Transportation , win called as an
other witness to show that the respondents
were thrco overworked men. Witness
thought that in August , IbOl , the members
were meeting about twice each week , most
of which meetings were held for the purpose
of getting the grain law In shape , but alter
that the meetings wcro not so frequent ,
tlmueh they were hold at least once each
month.
"I will call your attention to a meeting in
September , 18U1 , " said Mr. Lamburtson , "is
that the meeting when the board decided
not to increase the freight rate in the
state ? "
"Yes , sir. "
"Who wrote that report ? "
"Mr. Johnson and myself. "
"It is a matter of fact that the secretaries
do all of the work ? "
"Wo make the findings , look up the evi
dence and make the report ; they sit thcro to
hear that report .and then dccldo the mat
ter. "
"What is the principal work of the board ? '
"Wo have not assumed jurisdiction of
rates , so yon sec that ono question deus not
bob up very often. The most of the worn li
settling local disputes. "
Mr. Webster wanted to keep right on
showing that his clients were worked to
death , and with that end ho road several
chapters from the record on the Hoard of
State Printing. Going through the book ho
fouud that live meetings were held during
April , 18'Jl. '
When the reading was completed Mr.
Lambortson suggested that Mr. Allen was
the only ono of the respondents who was a
member of that particular board.
Whcro They Tukn It ICny. ;
Nelson McDowell had the record of the
board of canvassers which was introduced
to show that the respondents wcro com
pelled to do a great deal of work in discharg
ing thu duties of that board.
"This book , " said Mr. Webster , addressing
the court , "shows how much detail the
respondents paid to the work. "
' Who did the work ! " asked Mr. Lambert
son.
son."I did the figuring and the state oflleers
looked the figures over to see that they wcro
correct. "
"What is the clerical force of the ofllco !
"Thrco clerks. "
On rediiect examination by Mr. Webster
"Hns'iiot the work of that ofllco been In
creased during the past live years ? " .
"Yes sir , but I cannot say how much. "
"You are not behind with your work , am
you commence work at 'J o'clock In the morn
ing , work until noon , rest an hour and work
three hours in the afternoon ? " asked Mr.
Lambcrtson.
"That's correct , " answered the witness.
"Mr. Webster stated that ho had had prepared -
pared a statement showing that dnrintr the
past live yearn the duties of the board had
been doubled , but that no provision had boon
made for additional help in any of the
olllccs.
\Vlmt the llnltiT Know of tlio I'lotir.
Switching back to the asylum feature of
the case , tlio respondents put J. J. Uurrcll ,
the baker , upon the stand.
"Did the ; bills como with the Houri" asked
Judge Hayward.
"Yes , sir. "
"Did yon O. 1C. the bills ! "
"Y s , sir. "
"Did the Hour always como with the bills ? "
"Yos , sir. "
"Did yon always see the flour unloaded ? "
asked Mr. Lambcrtson.
"Yes , sir. "
"Yon did not always check It ? "
"O , no ; sometimes Laucrchecked Itsome ;
times D.ivls' boy , and sometimes I
checked. "
"How long were you at tiio asvlunit"
"Flvoyoais. "
"Did thov deliver the bills to you ? "
"Yes sir. "
"What did yon < lo with the bills ? "
"After the Hour was unloaded and put Into
the Hour bin f would count the sacks and
then take the bill up to the ollleo. "
The witness then entered into a general
Menial , saying that ho never went before thu
legislative committee , and a were that ho ru-
turncd bills without having cheeked the
sacks , notwithstanding thu fact that the
printed testimony was rend to him. Ho said
that none of the questions wcro over put to
him , nnd that ho made none of the answers
reported by thu stenographer.
"You thought tlieso people with whom you
were dealing wcro all huncst ? "
"I thought so. "
"Did Lauer do HOIUO of the checking ? "
"Yes ; after ho took it away from mo. "
"Did you ever notice any shortage { "
"Yes , sir. "
"What would you do then ! "
"Why , I would make them bring you moro
( lour the next day , and then O , 1C. the ilrst
bill. "
"Did that not leave a shortage on the second
end lo.idf"
" 1 don't know. "
"Was Hour over put into the bin , before
yourortiilcd to the bill I"
"Yes ! always ; sometimes there was Hour
in the bin , uut I most always know how

witli much hope for success during the year.
Bishop \Vorthington asked the ladies to
consider the expediency of making prepara
tions for the support of ono more general
missionary from the contributions of the
illoccso. Ho said that it would cost just
$1.200. to support a missionary and if the
organisation felt a bio to undertake it the
funds could not be put to a better use.
Bishop Perry of Iowa was present and
responded to an invitation to address the
auxiliary. His address was full of hopeful
ness and good cheer and was received witli
great favor.

I tried a number of remedies , but none

feel like n new man. I think they are

Frank Illalr , otherwise known as the
"Johnstown Kid , " ii wanted by the police of
Omaha and South Omaha. Ho made ono of
the neatest and most daring escapes from
custody last night recorded in Omaha police
annals.
Together with a man calling hlmsplr Kd
Halley , Illalr was caught by DatrotivcA Sav-
ape and Dampscy at the i-orncr of Four
teenth and UodRc streoU about half past
l > last evening. Halle.V gave Dempsey < inlto
a struggle , and UhUr offered to draw a
weapon , but was speedily suppressed. 1'hu
detectives arrested the men for connection
with the llrnytou robbery at South Omaha
on Monday night.
Arrived nt the station , IJlalr and Datloy
were both searched , and Ofllcer ICeysor had
started to take the latter below and had
called to Ul.tlr to follow , when the "KM"
made : i sudden break , got through the door
and outsldo the graliim , and in a Hash was
out of the building and was making good
tlmo tip Jackson stroot. When ho bolted
through the door of the grating ho slammi-d
It shut , nnd thereby gained several seconds
on the olllccrs ,
Sergeant Slioup and Ofllccr Ko.vsor wore
after the fugitive In nn Instant , tlie former
going down to Fourteenth strout to hi-.ul
him oft In that direction , and Koysor follow
ing Ulalr up Jackson street. Unfortunately
thuro was n crowd ot people at the cor
ner of Fifteenth nnd Jackson , through
which Hlai r broke his way , no ono
making any attempt to impcdu hla progress ,
nnd Oflleor ICeysor was thcrsby prevented
from shooting while his man was In range.
IIo took a shot at. him ns ho How down
Fifteenth strict , hut did not hit his mark ,
said mark being at the time in tlio nut of
making sprinting speed which the ofllccr
was unnblo to match , and the lust scon of
him was the tlccting glimpse that Sergeant
Shoup caught of him as hu Illttcd across
Loarcnworth street. '
On Hatloy's person wcro found the watcn
stolen In South Omaha and $ .75 In cash ,
but a search of Hlatr's clothing developed
nothing In the way of money or valuables.
The "Kid" ' Is bcinp hotly pursued and Is not
likely to got far away.

" How thankful I am to Hood's Snrsaparllla ,
none but a mother whoso child has been resetted
from death can know. She wai taken with
severe pains nnd swelling In her right anklo.
Our physician pronounced It a case of hone
errnipclan , and her log swelled up to her body
until It looked n * if it would bunt. The pain
was terrible. The doctor lanced her leg , hut It
did no good. She lay hovering
Between Llfo and Death
for four long months. The swelling liroko In
three places nlong the front hone. I never
navr iinjoun miffer nx xlm iliil. In ; \ short
time pieces of tiono worked out of nil four
places. Tlio physician said his skill was ex-
liaustcd , and If anything would help her It would
bo Hood's Sarsaparllla.
Wo Had to Co 2O Miles
to liatcsvlllo to get It. She was helpless as a
bahe and suffering greatly , iieforo she had
taken the first foottlo of Hood's Harsaparllla she
had Impioved so much that she could got on the
floor , nnd hop on her well foot. Bko was soon
ahlo to walk without oven n crutch. The swell
ing on her legs has entirely gone down , and
All The Sores Have Healed Up.
She Is now Just five years old , nnd wo feel very
much Indebted to Hood's Sarsaparllla , which
lias given her hack to us In good health. O ,
