Ilr.B. ] Mrs. K. J. Lane , living nt 21W
South Fourteenth strcot , set an example to
many of her friends of the sterner sox today
by plucklly driving sneak thief from the
upper rooms of her houso. She was out in
the yard when the thief entered the front
door'nnd walked upstairs. Her llttlo girl
told Her that there wns n strange man
in the houso. After sending the llttlo
girl for it neighbor nho boldly walked
Upstairs after the intruder. The neighbor
did not show up , but this fact did not pre
vent Mrs. Lane from ordering the fellow out
of the house. Ho was engaged In rilling a
trunk when she discovered him. Ho had
taken out n suit of clothes and was compar
ing it with his own physique when ho wns
Interrupted. She compelled him to walk
down the stairs nnd out Into the street.
Then several small boys followed him until
they mot n policeman. The thinf wns nt
once arrested and tnkcn to the station.

Ono of the saddest accidents in the history
of the Etkhorn valley occurred yesterday at
the homo of Charley Johnson , living on the
county line between Dodge and Washington
counties.
In the absence of the parents a commotion
arose In the wood shed. Yho 10-ye.ir-old
boy secured his father's revolver and started
to the shed. His little sister Dolly , aged S ,
had preceded him to the door just in time to
get the contents of the weapon In her little
brain. The boy had never bcforo handled a
revolver and In his excitement it was acci
dentally discharged.
The funeral occurred at Arlington at 4

upon Mrs. Ferguson and her little son and

JACKSON PAIUC , OiitiAuo , July 31. To the
Editor of Tim BRK : Prompted by political
hnto , locality projudlco or personal spite , so
many falsehoods have been circulated In re
gard to the Nebraska exhibit , that contra
dictions of some of the most flagrant of the
falsehoods would appear to bo in order , and
yet , so numerous have boon the untruthful
accusations and statements that one scarce
knows where to begin.
Slnco the appointment of Commissioner
General Gavncau a certain element has
waged war not only against him.'but against
the work and workers as a whole , resorting
to the most unscrupulous misrepresenta
tion and baro-faued falsehoods
, utterly re
gardless of and greatly to the injury of the
state. The building and exhibits have bcon
belittled nnd ridiculed , nud these engaged
in accomplishing what has bcon accom
plished have bcon maligned , and their
honesty and competency questioned. And
yet during all this time what have these
mnllgners doiio to help the exhibit ? What
have they contributed in thought or work ?
Absolutely nothing ! It has boon their mis
sion to down and seek to counteract , in so
far as possible , nny good results likely to
How from the work of others , i'hoy have
boon merely faultmiders and nothing else.
How Noliraxku Jtciilly Compiircs. ,
Tno simple facts are , that , considering the
amount of money expended thereon , Ne
braska has the best building and the best
showing in the way of exhibits on the
grounds , nnd no person of good judgment will
ask Nebraska , with her small aupropriation.
to make n showing equal to states having
from eight to ten times the amount of money
to expend. Nebraska's agricultural exhibit
is almost universally acknowledged to bo ono
of the best exhibits in the Agricultural 1
building. Our honey exhibit is not surpassed
in excellence by any , nnd our forestry ex
hibit Is simply marvelous for prairie stato.
Wro show more varieties of timber than any
other state in the union , and in live or six
varieties the largest specimens on the
grounds. . . In a most forcible way , too , we
{ illustrate J the feasibility of timber culture in
Nebraska. Our educational exhibit is not
equaled by any other state of her ago , and it
is lilted up in a most attractive style , with
furniture equal to the very best of any state ,
old or young. Our butter exhibit in the
Dairy building is equal to the best , both in
quality and attractive arrangement ; nnd the
foundation is being laid for fruit nnd live
stock exhibits altogether creditable to a
state so now as ours.
These are thu simple facts , acknowledged
by the Chicago and eastern press , and by all
unprejudiced peoplo. It Is left for Nebraska
papers to belittle nnd decry , and this policy
has been carried on to such au extent that
many people from Nebraska como here
prejudiced to start with to such nn extent
that they close their eyes , and oven , with
out looking nt building or exhibit , join the
chorus of this political denunciation. Is it
not tlmo for such warfare
Jo stop ? Are wo
not at least entitled to the bonollt of having
the truth told ? These who criticise Ne
braska's showing most have never soon our
exhibits ut all , and hence speak in igno
rance , prompted only by prejudice. Thou
sands who have taken the pains to examine
the Nebraska exhibits speak favorably , and
I hereby append the partial expressions of
some of the most prominent visitors.
Opinion * of I'romlncnt I'linplo.
Senator Charles F. Mandorson said : "Ne I-
braska has u line building , conveniently
arranged , well located and handsomely
decorated. Her exhibits are Urst-class and
I consider the outrageous misrepresentation ! :
of some of the Nebraska papers u shamo. "
Senator Alvin Saunders said In effect the
same , expressing moat agreeable surprise at ,
the entire showing made by the state.
Robart W. Furnus regarded tlio showing
IIS a whole a decidedly creditable ono , out
suggested that hu would show a llttlo moro '
corn In the oar and n llttlo moro grain In the
sheaf in the agricultural exhibit.
Judge Post said : "I nm greatly pleased
and greatly surprised nt thu apno.irnnce of
the Nebraska building , and It must bo plain
to all Intelligent visitors that the building
and the oxnibits have boon shamefully mis
represented. "
Governor Crounso likewise expressed
agreeable surprise and great satisfaction
with both the building ami the exhibits.
Senator Pope of Friend , said : "Consider
ing i the amount of money expended Nebraska :
makes a f > 0 per cent better showing than any
other state represented on the grounds. "
cI The fact Is , representative men from Nebraska -
braska I by the hundreds have admired and
com men ted favorably upon the Nebraska idK
dibit. I Misrepresentations have been K10
nnumerous .that it would bo a great under-
taking t to'nttcmpt to mention all In detail ,
but 1t 1 I do doom It proper to refer to some of
1t t the most palpable. H has been stated that
the t commissioner general has failed to give
1t itemized 1 statements of expenditures. Tills
statement Is absolutely false , Thu vouchers
show Item by Item In
, giving each paso the
J proper name of eacn expenditure , however
small.
Cm i not i : tlnmto In Advance.
The confounding of '
estimates for money
for future use with
accounting for >
money
already expended is responsible for the
gross misrepresentation. If a man starting >
on u six months tour of
Europe '
, were re
quired to glvo an Itemized statement of the
expenses as a condition precedent to secur
ing tlio funds hu ror
simply could not go , for
that would bo imposing upon him an iuipoH-
slbillty ; whereas hu could , with very llttlo
care , after his return , furnish au itemized
statement and full accounting for the funds.
This is exactly n parallel case. No living
man could tell in advance of expenditure ,
the items necessary to carry on the exhibit ,
yet there Is uo difficulty whatever in
com
plete subsequent accounting. It was not
the lack of itomlzation but some of the Items
.that the auditor objected to. Right hero it
would Hoeni proper to say that the only stnto
in the union asked to conduct an exhibit
without advancement of funds for the purpose -
pose is Nebraska. That this puts this state
to a sorlous disadvantage must bo apparent
without argument.
Another falsehood peddled all over the
n-
stnto U the insertion IJifU no ting NoMed
from the NobrAskn building on the Fourth
of .Inly. On thut day lHkrNobn\ska building

protimis. That there was no cheap bunting
decoration to mar th > 'beauty of thn Ameri
can lings Is true , nnd there was no necessity
for any. ,
Alnmt tlio l.inployeg.
In giving the list of employes for the stito
buildings the n nines oC'koveral persons have
been glvon who h.tvo not-.boon employed hero
for months mid several who were never , nt
any time employed horo. ' For instance , it Is
mndo to appear that Dnvld L. Cartan is an
employe , whereas ho hnsnot bcon upon the
nay roll since Iho 1st of Juno. Q. Clements
is also made to appohr'hs ' nn employe hero ,
whereas ho is simply the photographer who
took vlows In Nebraska some tlmo ago for
thn forestry exhibit. Mrs. Langworthy is
also put down ns nn employe , whereas she
has never been on the pay roll horo. Some
tlmo afro she did some work In Nebraska col
lecting material for the exhibit , and for that
only she was palili
Again was It charged that my sister Is
drawing n salary of f'JO ' per month as stenog
rapher and typewriter , while the fact Is
that she has never drawn a single dollar
from the state for such service nor pre
sented n claim for any , though ut > to my
appointment ns secretary a salary of KW per
month for such service was paid , but no
relative of nilno drew that pay. In my con
tract with Commissioner General Qarneau ,
It wns understood that there should bo no
charge against the state over nnd above my
salary and ullownnco for expenses , for ex
penses for stenographic or typewriter serv
ice , which I would pay for out of my own
salary.
There are several more misrepresentations
quite ! us flagrant ns these mentioned , In the
prctomled salary list. The fact Is Miat Ne
braska has fewer employes and pays smaller
salaries than nny other state represented on
the grounds , having anything like ns credit
able exhibits In the various department ! ) .

It has also been stated that nearly all of
the employes nro from Omaha and tlmt
nearly all are democrats , while the facts are
that nearly all are republicans nnd that
Lincoln is qulto ns well provided for as

ployes I mention the following : Prof. F. W.

against Omaha. In politics the superin
tendents of nearly all the departments nro
republicans , Hartley of forestry , Taylor of
horticulture , Dunsmoro of live stock , Ash-
burn of dairy , Whltcomb of apiary , Barton
of education nnd the secretary , consequently
quently the charge that the commissioner
general has applied polities In the
administration of his ollloi il duties Is clearly
disproved. The statement that ho has ex
pended state money for cigars , boor , wine ,
etc. , Is likowlso false , not'a single dollar
having been thus expendedall his enter
taining having been ilono at his private ex
pense , making it clearly his own private
business , while , on the other hand , nearly alt
the other states have a'lu'rgo entertainment
fund , New York iilono providing $100,000 for
entertainment purpose ; ; ,

Nebraska's dcdicntloaxxerclscs were pro
nounced by all the papers the greatest suc
cess in the line achieved by any state , and
yet it cost the staia'Of Nebraska only the
Insignificant sum of 24 , us against ? 0,000 for
Ohio , nnd several thousand for some of the
other states , not attracting anything like
the attention or favonlblb newspaper com
ment that'Nebraska received. Wo had two
of the finest bands that over played upon
the trrounds and the iavgest and most at
tractive procession that over inarched
through the White City , and all without the
expense of iv dollar to thb state , being simply
secured through tlio ffrcmlsliips made by
the commissioner gcncrtil , wtioso personal
expense for the occasion was tunny times
greater than that of the state itself. Hut
whore political hate is'to combat , all these
things seem to wunt for naught.v' It appears
time , however , that "ho should bo' entitled to
have the truth told , and right that the
people should hear somot'tiing from the other
side. SCTII P. MOIILBV.

WOIlKiD A BOLD GAME.
Ella llnncrlni Mnaiiuoruilex ns a Servant
filrl ivttd I > 4ivelnp < i Klrptoitiiinla.
Ella Hangrin , alias Holgrcen , commenced
a criminal career rather young but her con-
lldenco caused her to bo caught nnd now she
promises to bo deprived of her freedom for
an indefinite period.
Ella rapidly developed Into an export
house worker nnd she has made quite a
success of her criminal practices during the
past seven days. There have boon many com
plaints of thefts of jewelry .to the ( ) olicb of
late and it was supposed that it was the
work of export sneak thieves. Captain
Mostyn , who has been working on the case
secured evidence enough yesterday to war
rant him in arresting the young woman. She
had in her possession a gold watch and con
siderable jewelry which has been stolen
from several residences.
The girl's ' mode of procedure was to po tea
a residence and apply for work. If she was
retained she would stop just long enough
to Hwlno any valuables lying around
loose. When she didn't want to
hire out as ft servant she would claim that
she was an actress taking a rest and wanted
to rent a room. She played this latter uaiiio
yesterday nt n house on South Sovcntotnth
street uud while she was looking at tlio
room for rent stele a gold necklace , a bangle
a bracelet. All thoso. besides other pieces
of jewelry supposed to have been stolen ,
wore found in her possession when searched.
After the urrest the girl confesaod to tlio
thefts and told where she had stolen the
articles. She claims to have stolen the stuff
in order to raise money for n certain young
innn to got out of town. The pollco say that
her work Is that of a professional thief.
Ella Is about 'M year * of nge , but claims to
be 17. She has lived In Omaha for the past
nine yours , nnd resided with her mother on
Twenty-sixth near California streets. The
family wont to Burllnc-ton , la , , to live about
the last of Juno , but lilla preferred to live In
Omaha , and returned hero on July 4 , In
company with a young man , who is wanted
by the pollco , out Is unknown to them nt
present. Ella was caught in the net of rob
bing the rooms of a Hut. on the northwest
corner of Eighteenth and Hurt streets by
the landlady of the plucei , who reported the
mutter to the pollco , wth | a good description
of the young woman. J llu acknowledges
four thefts , hut says th ( ? Is her llrst stop In
crime. She Is charged' vith grand larceny.

Cry Out for Impeachment.
NEW YORK , Aucr. 2. It scorns cortnin
that an inward gold movement of good
ar/.o nnd stability his ; at lust sot in. As
nearly us can bo estimated there is bo-
twooii $ -J,000Ol)0"iind ) $5,000,000 on the
way to Now York or ordered from
various foreign countries , principally ,
of course , England. This estimate in
cludes $2,000,000 said to have boon ,
ordered by Lnzard & Froiers , $500,000 to
August Bolinont &Co. , which is to como
on the Spree , and $500,000 to Hoidolbucli ,
Iloichoimer & Co. to bo shipped Wed
nesday. The imports of gold last week
wore $1,752,885 , of which $805,519 came
from Europe , and thuro wore no exports
of tlio precious metal. Naturally the
word by cable from London was that the
outflow of gold to America was caused
by the steady rise in the rate of discount
in the open inarkot , though it was
assorted that the Uank of England
was in a position -to stand the expert -
port of1,000,000 without rais
ing the olHcial rate. The goJd movement -
mont from January 1 to date lias boon :
Imports , $11,757,420 ; exports , $0375.-147 ( ! ;
o.xcess of exports , $54,918,021. , As satis
factory as the inorcasimr receipts of gold
are to Wall strcot , the bankers find that
tlio outward currency movement , which
does not diminish , is correspondingly dis
agreeable. Conservative estimates put
the shipments of currency out of Now
York last week at $9,000,000 , and this
week began unpropitiously with the
shipment today of $1,500,000 or more. A
largo share of it wont to Boston , a good
many thousand to interior points in Now
York state and the remainder went west.
Currency is becoming so valuable a
thing to keep hands on and the demands
for it from other cities are so pressing
and unexpectedly long continued that
the Now York banks are seriously con
sidering the advisability of taking pro
tective measures.

CHICAGO , Aug. 2. A5 last night's
muss mooting in Central Music hall a
telegram was read from Colorado's con
gressmen who are now in Washington.
Hero it is : "Wo called upon the Treas
ury department in reference to tlio pur
chase of silver bullion yostonlay , it
being the lant day of July , the required
coin for July not having boon purchased.
Wo urged Ixjforo the woorotary of the
treasury and Acting Director LVosloii
yesterday the importance of completing
the silver purchase. The seorota'ry now
cites Secretary Sherman's conduct fn the
Bland act as justification. Tlio director
admitted that ho was a rank gold
standard man , but said lie was
fair. Both contended that they
must buy silver the saino as
they would buy supplies ior the govern
ment and must consult the London
market as a guido. The people must
aroiiho or bceotno abject slaves of the
gold power. When the gold pow r can
force a democratic secretary to follow
Senator Sherman congress ought to con
sider the adoption of rules that will
compel compliance with the law. "
Cries of ' ' ! " ' ' "
'Impeach 'Impeach ! came
from nil over the hall as General Weaver
concluded reading.
"Impoaoh ! " echoed Senator Stewart in
u tone of irony. "Oh , little you know
the wowor of tlio money inlluonco. "
Some members of the Colorado dologa
lion to tlio silver convention were indig'
nant laat night that Governor Waite
was ignored bv the managers of the Cen
tral Music liafl mass mooting. A dele
gate said that at thla morning's session
they wili call for him to deliver hia
speech , and no business will bo per
mitted until the request in granted.
