"Did not the price ho offered to work for
arouse your suspicions ? "
"Not nt the time ; the attorney general

Kvlclenoe of the Attorney flunornl.
Attorney General Hastings , ono of the re

state official ho was n lawyer.
'jWhat nro your duties as attorney gen-

"Yes , sir ; Idovoto to that all the time I
can. ' .
' What time do you have to make a de
tailed Investigation of the vouchers } "
"Tho vouchers are checked over to sob
that prices correspond nnd then they como
before the board. "
' Can the board Investigate each item ? "
"They are checked over in the ontee of the
secretary of state , but there is no way by
which the board can know whether every
thing bus been nclivcred , unless a member
of the board went to each institution nnd
saw the stuff checked into the storehouses. "
Like Air. Allen , Mr. Hastings went into
details , telling the public institutions tlio
construction of which had been superin
tended by the board.
Ill * Ueiil With Itowlck.
" ' 'Do you remember a conversation with
Mr. Ucu'iek ? "
"When ho was at the ofilcc I tola him that
ho had some Information about the asylum.
Ho said that ho had spent a great deal of
time and that the Information was for him
self. I told him that If ho did not want to
have his name used I would see him pro
tected. Then ho refused , but said that if ho
was elected police judge of Lincoln there
would bo nothing como of it. This made
mo mud and ho loft the onico. "
"Did you have any knowledge that there
was anything wrong at the asylum ? "
"Not until I saw the Howick statements In
thenewspapers , and immediately thereafter
wo commenced an Investigation. "
! "Had you hud any experience as a mason
or builder nt the time when the construction
o"f the cell house was commenced ? "
J ! 'H.itl.illcil with lor iiu's Cnmliirt.
r'fro ( , sir ; but my advice was that the cell
U6use .should bo constructed by day's labor
I uiid not by contract. Wo decided to hire a
aup'crlntcndont , giving htm authority to pur
chase supplies and material. "
4."Wem you present when Dorgati was
Ulioitt"
r "No , sir ; I was nt Hot Springs. The mat
ter was discussed whoa 1 came back. "
i ' 'Was It known to you that the guards
would keep thu time of the laborers ? "
" 1 went down and found thnt the guards
kept the tlmn and reported to the warden.
It w.is my judgment that the state was
amply protected. "
"Why did you allow Dorgan the esti
mates I"
"I speak for myself when I say the esti
mates represented material contracted for ,
or on the ground , nnd labor por/ormed. The
estimates are allowed from time to time and
warrants drawn. "
"After the vouchers were approved whore
would they then go ! "
"To the auditor , who would draw the war
rants * I know the vouchers are approved
by the auditor after they pass from our
board. "
"Did you act In good faith when you al
lowed Dorgan this money ? " .
"Absolutely BO. sir , "
"Why did you not intiko a llmil settlement
with Dorgaul"
"At first It was Impossible , as checks and
vouchers wcro not in. Then there wore
rumors from thu penitentiary that things
wcro not right , nnd upon my advice I' was
hold olT pending an Investigation ; wo
.thought that the reports bliould bo invest ! ,
irutcd and us a result the matter went to the
grand jury , where Dorgan was indicted. "
"Was it the decision of the board that
thN settlement should not bo made until
this thing was cleared up ! "
1'tn "
Mr.
. 'iHowdid Dorguu's accounts check out ? "
"Correct , with the exception of Romof.M ,
which waa the amount of a freight bill ; that
led \\a to believe that Dorgnn had accounted
for the money nnd the only iiuostlon wns
whether ho had overcharged for material
and labor. This mutter wo referred to the
grand Jury.
) tb Jfcnkot Wn
the expenditure of the WOO
which was ) ialn out while on thu trip to look )
Ut .other prisons , Mr. Hustings said that it
was for the purjiosoof looking Into thu ijuea-
tlon of the modem cells and vuiitllatlug de
vices.
"Did you receive Information which would
bo of benefit to the tttutot"
"YcH.sir , I did ; I would have the bunks
larger and the syitout of ventilation moro
complete.1
"Did you have a draft or plan of Improved
cells prepared ! "
"I did. "
"Did you absorb ntfy of that ISM ? "
"My slmro was fiai , nnd then I expended
some of my own money whlchlnovcr got
back. "
"Was nil of that money legitimately ex
pended ? "
"It wns. "
"As the law officer of the state , did you
consider this expenditure legal ? "
"Yes , sir ! legal and proper ; I know that
other boards had made such expenditures ,
nnd no question had ever nrlscn. "
"What other warden nnd chaplain went to
n prison congress nnd charged the expense
of the trip to the state ? " nskcd Mr. Lam-
bcrt.son on cross-examination.
" 1 cannot tell you ; though I think Elder
Howe went nnd was paid out o' the tele
phone fund. I will say that I think the state
should always bu represented In the prison
congresses. "
"Did tlio expenditure of 'this $ . * > 00 from the
cell house fund have anything moro to do
with the cell house than it had to do with
the prison proper ? "
"Possibly not. "
"Was It necessary to spend the $ r 00 for
thn expenses of the cell house trip ! "
"If wo made the tour it could not bo made
for less than $500. "
"You kept no Itemized account of your ex
penses ? "
"No. sir ; before wo started wo estimated
that wo could get along with that money. "
Some rvrtlitrnt
"You said that a matter was referred to
the grand jury ; now you don't mo.in to say
that this cell nouso question went to the
grand jury , do you ! "
"No , sir ; it was the asylum matter. "
"When was this Investigation held1 ?
"October , IS'JJ. ' " "
"Now , If you had not hoard any thing about
Dorgan being wrong , why hud you not set
tled with him when ho was discharged six
months before ! "
"Well , his vouchers were not nil In , and
thcv had not been checked over. "
"Why was It that the board audited the
accounts of Dorgan us they were presented ! "
"I know in n general way that the board
hold money that was duo Dorgan. "
"In the matter of coal all that you did waste
to approve vouchers which had been certi
fied to by the superintendent of the asylum
and the secretary of state ! "
"Yes , sir. "
"How many cells were to have boon built
under the Mosher contract ? "
"Eighty. "
"You say that Dorgan gave a bond : you
did not know that until the investigation ! "
"Thai's the way , 1 think. "
"In your conversation with Mr. Kowlck ,
did ho not say that there was fraud prac
ticed at the asylum ! "
"No , sit ; he would not tell that much ; the
first information that I had of the asylum
matter came through the newspapers. "
"Day's woi k on the cell house me.int free
labor ! "
"Yes , elr ; everything outside the wall was
frco labor. "
"Diayoucvorconver.se with Mr. Bowor-
inan about the asylum matter' "
"No , sir. "
Cininil Jury OITeroil In Kvldenoe.
At the close of the examination Mr. Web
ster offered in evidence a certillea copy of
the letter which the board sent ti the grand
jury asking the members to look into the
asylum charges.
"Did Governor Boyd write you a letter
calling your attention to tbo rumors about
the asylum ! " asked Mr. Lamoertson as the
witness was'loaviug the stand.
"It may be that such was the case , but I
am not positive.

Amid n blaze of light and nn outburst of
oratory , Inspired by the worthy occasion , the
second annual exi > o.sltlon of the manufacturs
crs of the state was formally opened at the
Coliseum last evening , under the nusplccs of
the Manufacturers and Consumers associa
tion of Nebraska.
The weather was not nt nil auspicious-
that fact did not induce the committee to
consider n postponement advisable , even
though It had deterred many of the members
of the association from sending out their
goods , ns every nlan of thorn had
become so Imbued with business prin
ciples that there was not n thought of
breaking faith with the public. The exposi
tion had been announced to open nt that
time , nnd open It must , regardless of conso-
qucncc And they had no reason to regret
their course , as despite the chilly dampness
nnd muddy streets there was an unusually
largo attendance for the opening night ,
when It was to bo expected thnt few ot the
exhibits would have been completed , nnil
that a somewhat chaotic appearance would
be apparent.
The heavy rainfall that continued almost
without interruption during the entire day
prevented the delivery of any goods that
were not already in place , as exhibitors were
not willing to run the risk of having the appearance -
poaranco of their exhibits spoiled during the
entire exposition by getting them wet on the
eve of the opening. Many were able to make
a partial exhibit , but there were few ex
hibits that were really complete nnd that
did not show that the storm had interfered
with the successful execution of carefully
made plans.
Tli-ltuK Guoil for Another Time.
The executive took all those things Into
consideration and promptly decided that no
admission feu should bo charged , and not a
ticket was taken up , every one of th'j visitors
being told to keep his admission card and
como again when the exposition was com
plete.
This was In accordance with the Idea of
thu association in making the exhibit , that
the exposition xvas not a money making
affair for thu association , but was rather an
educational enterprise for the purpose of in
troducing the people to Nebraska-made
goods , und by this object lesson open their
eyes to the development of the resources of
the stato. .
Even though the exposition was in a crude
state , as compared with what it will bo r.s
soon ns the exhibits are in place , it must not
bo supposed that there was nothing there to
see last night , as it was well worth 25 cents
of any man's money to view the scores of
silent exhibits , to say nothing of those
where machinery and skilled workmen and
workwomen were turning out Nebraska
manufacture ? as deftly and rapidly as is
douo day after day in busy factories in va
rious parts of the state.
The committee has arranged for formal
opening ceremonies and as the
hour arrived the platform at the
north end of the great building
became the objective point toward which
the crowd gravitated. On the rostrum were
seated President W. A. 1'ago of the Manu
facturers and Consumers association , Presi
dent AV. A. L. Gibbon of the Commercial
club , Secretary Holmes , Mayor Bemts , Con
gressman Bryan and several other members
of the executive committee. Mr. Pape pre
sided and urlofly prefacing his -remarks
with an expression ot satisfaction over the
work of the association ana the outlook for
a successful exposition , he Introduced Mayor

pHMEits ASSOCIATION OF NEIIIIASKA , LADIES
AND OK.NTI.EUKN For the second time I have
thu honor of addressing you on the occasion
of your annual exposition , und it gives mo
grunt pleasure to suy that there are the best
of leusons for oxtondliiK lo yon my most
hearty congratulations on the splendid prog
ress your association 1ms made durlni ; Its
brief existence ot fuss than two years. When
I stood hero last June , on the occasion of your
first exposition , your orKunlratlon had heen In
uxlstoneo but nlno months , yet your member
ship ut that time Included uhont IfjO Ilrms In
nearly all of the larger towns ana cities In thu
btutu. Since that , time thu number of Ilrms In
your association , as I um Informed , 1ms In
creased to 170 , the best and most responsible
houses In tint statu being included In your list.
That thu Inllucncu of your work bus uxtcndcd
to thu lemotest cornels of our state there can
bu no ( loubl. It Is a Rruml movement und one
which should receive the earnest support of
all pcoplu who uro concerned about Urn ad
vancement of the commeiclal Interests of our
state.i 21
If we of the west expect to Increase the
wealth and malerlal prosperity of this region
of untold resources we must establish a sys
tem of reciprocity , purn and simple. Wo must
patron I re ono another , and not only keep thu
bulk of our money circulating among our
selves , hut promote tbo development of our
Infant. Industries. No valid reason can bo
urged why tills state should not , within Its
iKiundurles , manufacture all , or nearly nil , ot
Ibo staples needed In life. Where in all the
world Is a finer country for raising the Hugur
beet ? Where Is thu section thnt can boast of
belter wutiir nonur than lies within the con-
lines of our own stuto ? Why should wo not
make our own flour Instead of Imylnit from
Minneapolis ? Wu have a cotton mill : why
should wu tiot also have u woolen mill ? All
that Is needed Is development , und this can
only come when wu all stand shoulder to
shoulder and assist In mulclng u tangible fact
of what Is now luruoly a theory. Thu very
essence of this Idea lies In the sentiment
"Home I'utronuge , " which you have adopted
us yr.ur rallying cry. and H Is by this that we
must accomplish the desired und.
Therefore , fsiiy your association Is doserv-
ln of Ihe encouragement of every loyal eltl-
7-n ( of this state , und not only that , hut every
person who has the prosperity of the state ut
heart is In duty bound to support thu move
ment by ; ; lvln'homo ; manufacturers the pre
ference and by natronUIn local houses Instead
of sending to Chicago or Nuw Vork for necos-
luxuries for himself or family.

further developing his farm. Such was the
manufacturer , who follows the plonoerand
Joins him in developing the resources of a
state , and the speaker was glad to know that
this stale had reached the period in its
growth nnd development where the manu
facturer had become nu Important and os-
scntlal fnctor.
Nebraska manufacturers must do two
things in order to nchlovo success In their
undertaking. They must turn out goods of
ns good quality n's the manufacturers of the
cast nnd meet the prices of the cast , and
must also got tholy goods before the public.
Ho believed that they must do moro than that
. they must keep them before thu public. Ho
did not say this as nn advertising agent In
the interest of nny newspaper , but It
was a fact that ought to bo patent to all.
The manufacturers of Nebraska wore adver
tising their businesses , and ho was certain
that the revelations of this ext > osltlon would
bo as great n surprise to hundreds and thou
sands of Nebraskans ns It had boon to him ,
setting forth so plainly and convincingly the
diversity and Importance ot the manufac
tures of the state.
At the conclusion of the address , the pres
ident touched the button , the buzz of the
machinery filled the building , nnd the expo
sition had been formally und properly inaug
urated.
The statement that all the space nt the
disposal of the committee had been taken
was corroborated , had such , n thine boon
necessary , by the banners and bunting that
wore to bo seen everywhere , for It was
apparent in the empty stalls that they were
to bo occupied , for the decorator had boon
there and gotten things in readiness for the
placing of the exhibits , the arrival
of which had boon postponed at the
last minute by the rain. This delay was es
pecially noticeable among the exhibitors of
the bulky goods , as It was impossible to box
them readily so as to protect them from the
weather. The carriage men were in this
list , for although their booths were com
pleted none wcro filled except such as were
placed in readiness for inspection last Sat
urday. The flour men were in the same
category , as it would have been impossible
to have gotten the cereal powder into the
building yesterday without having it con
verted into paste.
KnuriioyHan .Missed the Train.
The Kearney manufacturers wired that
they had missed n train , but would arrive
this morning with their exhibits all ready
to sot up In a half hour's timo. Their ex
hibit includes a loom from the Kearney
Cotton mills , which will bo in operation in
the building during the entire exposition. The
necessary shafting Is already in position for
it , anil the power that will run the loom was
last ovenin'g utilized in operating nn Im
mense Iron lathe that was shaving curls
from a largo bar of motnl , to the delight of
the little ones and Iho Interest of their
elders. of >
The wire spring bed 'nwOhino attracted as
much attention as it' did a year ago , while
thu box machine withMts wholesale nailing
attachment was constantly surrounded. The
great feature , howoviir , noemed to bo the
pottery maker , and dlirhfj , ' the entire evening -
ing his quarters wcrovbo'scged ! with a curi
ous throng , three or tour deep , who watched
intently as chunks of' yripulsivo mud grow
rapidly into shapely Jugs ; ' urns and vases
under his skillful manipulation , They had
all heard many timed of 'tho pliability of
clay in the hands Of > thc potter , but this
was the first time 'that' many of them
had over had an objcdf lesson on that point.
QShirt factories were in full operation , and
long rows of machlneiJ/dnbratcd b.v as many
bright-eyed girls , worCithore to turn out garments
'
ments while you waltc'di while the young
man , whoso mission on , nrlh is , to minister
to the ravenous appetite of a gleaming band
knife , cut the 'goods .on which the young
women aforesaid exercised their ingenuity
nnd experience. .
The young women who wrap soap and
yeast cakes taster than they chew gum are
there again , and apparently wrap-two cakes
this year where last year they disposed of
ono.
ono.But it were unfair to particularize where
there are so many features nnd exhibits of
interest and credit , and especially as they
are not all yet in position. As a whole , the
exhibit made' by the manufacturers is
highly creditable to the state , und uo
citizen need bo ashamed to take
visitors from abroad to the Coliseum
building during the next ten days. A great
deal moro money has been spent by the in
dividual exhibitors than was the case last
year , and there is a noticeable improvement
In the artistic arrangement and decoration
of the booths , the use of flowers being lav
ishly indulged In.
A few rough posts and ragged corners
were still noticeable , but the work will bo
completed this morning , and the manufac
turers' exposition will then bo in shape to
challenge criticism.

NEW YOIIK , May 23. Wall street Is mystl-
fled by the withdrawals of distilleries from
ho Whisky trust. Kutnors nro abroad that
Ins move Is merely a part of n stock Jobbing
chomo to nffcct the l > rloo of the stock. It Is
s s.i ill thnt some of tlio inniingcincnt Is
icavily short of trust certificates anil the
constant shading of prices was for the pur-
> ese of allowing them to got back their
lock. This fulling bond scheme lias been
boon tried before without effect , nud now
.his sensation 1ms been sprting but today ,
is heretofore , leading operators hero
stopped In and frustrated the plan.
The Evening Post says that a largo mini-
> or of Whisky trust ccrtltlcato holders mot
oday and dculdod to take immediate stops
o protect their interests. It Is understood
that an application will uo tnado.ln Chicago
at once for nn Injunction to prevent any
stops toward dissolution nnd for a receiver
n the Interest of certillc.ito holders. The
lauio party asserted that operators who
mvo been short wcro heavy buyers of stock
nnd also assort that some of the directors of
ho company arc short fully 100,000 shares ,
ind that the announcement of the wltti-
Irawal of the Woolnor distilleries was niaUo
for the purpose of facilitating the covering
of these shorts.
At Cincinnati.
CixciNNATr , O. , May 22. Mr. W. N. Hobart -
art of the ilrm of Hobart & Co. , of this city ,
one of the directors and for a long time
treasurer of the Distilling and Cattlofccding
company , says emphatically that the asser
tion that the Pcorla distilleries can with
draw from the trust and take possession of
, hclr distilleries is pnro nonscnso. They
lave received certificates for their property ,
nnd It would bo folly for them to
think of receiving their property back
igaln without surrendering their
certificates. Mr. Hobart says their rent Is
tot due ; that their lease provides for a re
valuation every llvo years and , therefore , a
committee of appraisement is to examine the
various distilleries and report. When thnt
report is made the rent is to bo paid. The
appraisers' report concerning the Pcoria dis
tilleries has not yet been made and , there-
'ore , the rent has not been paid. The least
: lmt the Peorla distillers can do , ho says , is
to bring suit for their rents in case it should
ippcar that it ought to be paid after the ap
praisers have made their report.
AVhut They Say In Chlcngo.
CHICAGO , 111. , May 22. "It is nothing moro
than a stocic Jobbing scheme , " biiil P. J.
tlonnessy. secretary of the Distilling and
Cattlofecuing company , otherwise known as
the Whisky trust , today. Ho was speaking
about the report that the withdrawal of
the live dissatisfied Peorla firms from the
combine would result in its total disruption.
Their assertion that the reason they with
drew fromjtho trust is because their rent
lias not been paid , is explained in this way :
When the trust took the property it leased
the land for twenty-live years. This is the
first year in which a revaluation was to be
imuie , nnd there was a disagreement as to
the appraisement. When that is adjusted
the rent will bo paid as usual. There is
no prospect of the trust being disrupted.
Concerning the charge that the trust
would not bo able to pay the rebates owed
the dealers who obtain their supplies from
them , Mr. Hennossy said : "No one has a
right to make that allegation. Wo have
never forfeited any of our rebate certificates
and there is no prospect of our not being
able to pay them. ' <
OH , NO , IT IS NOT A TItUST.
Mr. Her Says Partner * in the Uigtllllnff
Company Can't Withdraw an Tliojr Please.
Mr. Peter Her , owner of the Willow
Springs distillery , docs not seem to bo the
least disturbed by the reported withdrawal
of several of the heaviest distillers of Illi
nois from the Distilling and Cattlefacding
company , known to the public as the Whisky
trust.
Speaking of the matter yesterday , ho said :
"I see by the papers that Woolner Bros. , 13.
S. Easton , H. & J. tichwabacker and J. H.
Francis have served notice upon the vice
president of the Distilling and Cattlofecd
ing company In Chicago that they have with
drawn from what they call the trust ; in
other words , they have decided to pull
the property which they formerly
owned out of the company "and take
charge of It themselves. I aon't understand
how they can do anything of the kind with
out resorting to a regular process of law.
This Distilling and Cattle Feeding company
is a stock company incorporated under the
laws of the state of Illinois and the distiller
ies that are In It belong to the company , not
to their former owners. The former owners
simply own stock in the company. They own
a general Interest in all of the property of
the company and thatgoaeral interest Is rep
resented by the stock they hold. They can
no moro withdraw from the company than
men can withdraw from holding un interest
in any other corporation without duo process
of law. These men who claim they have
withdrawn are employed by the company on
a salary Just as I am employed. How could
I draw out or the distillery hero that I
formerly owned without taking the neces
sary legal steps ? I am hired by the company
to manage the Willow Springs distillery
and , us I sec it , I could not withdraw thy
property for I do not own it personally ,
hold stock In the company which owns all
the distilleries In the company. They are
located in Illinois , Iowa , Indiana , Ohio , Now
York , Nebraska and Minnesota. The com
pany is capitalized at Mr.,000OOU. "
With regard to the complaint that rents
have not boon paid , made by thu dissatisfied
firms that have taken stops to withdraw ,
Mr. Her said : "It may bu possible that some
of the ground rents have not been paid as
promptly as they should , but I am nf thn
opinion that the delay has been occasioned
by the fact that the grounds 111-0 subject to
reappralsement every five years. Moat of
the former owners of these distilleries ru-
tulned the ownership ol the ground upon
which the distilleries nru located when they
sold the distilleries to the com puny , and the
company pays rent on the ground , I got my
rent regularly , and I see no reason why
Woolnor Hros. and others who are dlssalis-
fiod should not got their rents promptly also ,
unless the rcappralscmont of the grounds is
necessary and has delayed the payment of
rents. "
Mr. Her was asked If recent legislation
against trusts would not make It easy for
the dissatisfied firms to withdraw if they
saw fit to take such a step.
"You must boar in mind that this Is not a
trust , " said Mr , Ilpr , his face wreathing
pleasantly under thu influence of one of
these smiles that have been worth many
thousands of dollars to Mr , Her. "This la a
stock company , Incorporated under the laws
of the state of Illinois. How uro men going
to pull out of such u company unless
they take the legal steps that are
necessary In all such cases I Why ,
If that sort of business were to
bo countenanced it would break up the
strongest nnd oldest stock companies hi the
country In short order. Whenever a stock
holder became dissatisfied with the way
the business was being carried on. or for any
reason became convinced that his Interests
would DO bettor served by getting out of the
company , ho could Just got hold of a block of
property that would about represent what
ho sold to the company and pull out. There
is no regularity or business method it that
sort of thing , and It is my opinion that these
men will find that they cannot withdraw , as
they call It , until they go about It in a legal
manner. "
Situation ut I'corln.
PEOIIIA , III. , May 22. Matters seem to bo
quieting down aomq In the Whisky trust
trouble hero. President Oreonhut said
this morning that the trust's attorney was
considering the withdrawal of the Peorla
distilleries and had promised an opinion
during the day. Until that was received ho
could say nothing. Ho certainly had no
fear of a receivership as the company was
paying all hills a * soon as proscmtod. Hep.
rcsentatlvoi of the seceding distilleries
view their notion In n different way this
morning. They say tho.v took possession of
their property ns nnv owner might when the
rent was not paid , but have no Intention of
abandoning the trust , In fact they admit
that they wcro bluffing yesterday and say
that everything will bo arranged satis-
factorlli.

NKW YOIIK , May 23. The withdrawal of
five distilleries from the Whisky trust
caused a break on the Stock oxclmngo this
morning from 17.V to III. Transactions were
on a largo scale nnd attended with much ex
citement. The general list was In
sympathy with the decline nt the
opening , ranging 1 per cent within
the first ten minutes. However.
Whisky rallied to 15. Tno engagement of
Sl,000,000 in gold for Europe helped to un
settle matter * nftorlho opening. Toward 11
o'clock , However , the market began to
strengthen and prices advanced all along the
lltiopjftvlUi good buying by operators who
feel that the gold export movement 1ms been
discounted. At 11 o'clock the market was
firm nnd there was a slight auvanco lu

MAY BE HEARD HEBE.
Ulftcord In the Lincoln Dloccto May Ilo
Ilnrnionlxcd In Oniiihn.
Bishop Scanneli loft Omaha yestcrdaynnd ,
will bo absent several days. His present
trip Is presumably ono of peculiar signifi
cance Just at this particular time. It is oven
hinted that his absence Is oc
casioned oy an alleged lack of
harmony between Uishop Bonacum
nnd the priests of the Lincoln dloceso. For
several months there have been periodical
rumors to the effect that the white wings of
harmony werp drooping at Lincoln.
The snow ball of gossip loses nothing In Its
roll , but on the contrary , gathers fresh snow
at every revolution. It is said that the Lin- ,
coin dlooeso affair is not an exception in this
respect.
And as n result a somewhat startling
rumor the product of numerous whisper
ings reached Omaha yesterday. It was to
the effect that a delegation of priests from
the dloceso in question had come to present
thcirulleged grievances against Bishop Bon-
actiin personally to Bishop Suannoll , with a
request that ho would take the question up
with Mgr. Satolll , the representative of the
pope at Washington , for final remedy.
A BEE reporter repaired to the episcopal
residence nt Thirty-sixth and Hurt streets
last evening to ascertain the truth of the
rumor.
Vicar OenoralJoColancrl appeared In response -
sponso to a vigorous pressure on the electric
bell button.
"Is Bishop Scannel nt homo ? " asked the
reporter.
"No , " was the response , "Tho bishop Is
not in the city. "
"When did ho depart ? "
"Ho left for a few days trip , today. "
"Where did ho go , please ? "
There was a brief pause. The vicar gen
eral made a mental survey of his visitor and
finally said : "Ho went to Kansas and will
bo homo Wednesday , probably. "
"Has there been a delegation hero today
or at any time , please , to present alleged
grievances against Bishop Bonacum of Lin
coln } " asked the reporter. "Or has his
ofllciul attention been called to the matter
in any way ? "
"No , sir ; there has been no delegation hero
today or any time that I know of , on the
business you speak of. "
"Is there a lack of harmony or any founda
tion for a rumor that such a visit was
likely i"
'Oh ! I have hoard that there was trouble
in the Lincoln dioccso between Bishop
Bonacum and the priests , " said the vicar
general with evident reluctance. "Possibly
a delegation or the character you speak may
visit Bishop Scannoll In the future.
However , I only surmise It as a
possibility. I have received no offi
cial notification to that effect , as
yet. It has been rumored several times
that there was a lack of harmony in the
Lincoln diocese. Possibly seine discontent
exists there. If so , , it may bo duo to hot-
hc.idedness on the part of some ono. You
had better see the bishop when he returns. "
"You say the bishop has gone to Kansas.
Ho will not likely go to Washington to see
Mgr. Satolll before his return , will ho ! "
asked the reporter.
Vicar General Colcncri simply smiled and
shook his head in the neg.ftive.
"Come around next week , " ho said. "Per
haps you may bo able to got some particulars
at that time if any discontent In the Lincoln
diocese lias been called to the bishop's offi
cial attention. As for mjself , In his absence ,
1 do not care to discuss the matter beyond
what I have already said. The papers have
had considerable in about the matter , you
know , and you doubtless rcali/.o the position
in which I am placed. "
"Then In view of the many rumors that
como from the Lincoln dioccso , you do not
regard it as Improbable that the matter will
eventually bo referred to Bishop ScanuelH"
was the final interrogative.
"I regard such a procedure as among the
possibilities , " concluded the vicar general.
"That is all I have to say tonight. "
' . 'i.
"Faint" at tlio Furnnm.
People who have read and whoever hasn't
should read Goothe's masterpiece will ho
pleased of an opportunity of seeing a really
good stage representation -'Faust. . " Such
