Affairs of tie Late Samuel Theodore in
Bail Shape.
SHORT SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS
Suit ! In I line Unnillcil I lie Stinilnnl Oil

ilincn t'nrufiillj Contented.
Was Samuel Theodore n defaulter ? This
question has been asKcd many times .since
the Standard Oil companv's manager died
from an ovordoje of morphia In his room at
the Ogdcn house a few days ago. It was
the first question asked by the reporters
after the news of his death was received ,
and was propounded to the now local man
ager who promptly came over from Omaha
and took up the work here. Mr. Smith ,
the now manager , \vau familiar with the de
tails of the office , for bo had been arrang
ing for several weeks prior to take Theo
dore's place for n > car nt least. Ills as
surance that the accounts were perfectly
straight went a long way toward setting nt
rest the suspicion that Theodore had com
mitted suicide , but now , while the sound nf
the earth falling upon hln cotnn has scarcely
died away , now and ugly stories ore being
bruited about , which attaints him with self-
murder and brands him a defaulter. That
ho committed culclde there was enough evi
dence nt the start to leave llttlo room for
doubt , for tl rce pill boxis were found lying
on his diesser , two of them empty and one
containing n few morphia powders. There
was not .t scrap of paper other than n news
paper found In his room except three en
velopes addressed to his wife In New Or
leans. A llttlo wood steve In the room
showed the ashes of n largo number of
papers that had been burned a few hours
previously. None of his clothes except
those on his person were found , not even a
change of linen or underwear.
Hut hid friends were loth to entertain the
suicide theory , for they could assign no
legitimate reason for the deed , and the pub
lic gradually came around to their way of
thinking. Hut now a reason fpr his commit
ting self-murder has been found , for the
Standard Oil company reluctantly gives out
the fact that Theodore's books were In a bad
shape at least , and that there Is a shortage
which Is variously estimated , some hints
fixing the amount as high as $3,000.
Local Manager Smith still refuses to
admit the truth of the rumors , and declares
that the work of checking up his accounts
has not been completed , or , In fact , that he
has not been checked up at all. The most
that he would say to the reporters jesterday
afternoon was that the ofllco work had been
seriously neglected by Mr. Theodore on ac
count of his 111 health. The books and ac
counts were all kept In the headquarters of
the company In Omaha , and he could neither
afllrm nor deny the storj that a heavj short
age had been discovered.
From all that can be learned , the com
mencement of the shortage dates back sev
eral jears , and was continued until the date
of his death. The general method was to
make collections from merchants who , being
carried on the books by open accounts , and
when niado they were credited to account ,
while other collections were never credited
at all. Some merchants would pay In full
each month , but they were also carried on
the books fiom month to month as having
open accounts , ulillo the merchants hold
receipts for pavment In full. It is in these
classes ot accounts that the shortage has
beeen discovered. The work of checking
has not yr < t been finished , and the exact
amount collected from dealers who hold re
ceipts in run , but wno appear on the uoolcs
as delinquents , cannot bo determined until
the company sends Its agents over the terri
tory and hunts up the receipts.
The announcement will come as a great
surprise to many people , who were familiar
with the fact that Theodore drew a salary ot
$250 per month , and was saving In his
habits alnfost to the point of parsimony.
The , company oj course Is making nn
effort to get control of his property , but It
Is all in such a shape that It cannot be got
ten at easily. He has $12,000 of life Insur
ance that cannot be touched , a great detjl
of larul * and. property Jn his wife's name ,
and his ready cash doesn't seem to be easily
materialized. Ho was under bond for $2,000 ,
and this Is said to bo about all the company
Is able to perceive In sight to meet the
losses sustained.
The Standard people pretended to bo very
reticent yesterday during the early part of
the day , and It was utterly impossible to
get anything else than the most decided
positive denials of the shortabo story from
them , but an afternoon paper came out with
an article that was so ovidentlv furnished
gratuitously and written by a lawyer that It
left little doubt that It came from the com
pany itself and was published for a purpose.
This purpose Was partially revealed by
Investigations last evening. Yesteiday morn
ing General Manager Drake , Assistant Man
ager Ruth and Attorney Hiclmrd Hall came
over from Omaha and called upon Mrs. The
odore at the residence ot her cousin , Mrs.
William Runyun , 100 Bluff street , and held
a somewhat sensational Interview with her ,
after excluding all the members of Mr. Run-
yim's family and closing the pallor doors.
They Informed Mrs. Theodore of her hus
band's shortage , telling her that it already
amounted to between $1,000 and $5,000 , and
that their Investigation had gone no further
back than Juno 19 , but that they were con
fident the defalcation had been going on all
the years Mr. Theodore had been in their
employ. They Informed her that no one
but themselves knew of the shortage , and
that If she would sign nn agreement to
make good the amount already found and
all that might yet be discovered they would
keep the matter u profound secret. As an
additional Inducement they threatened her
with arrest and prosecution as an accessory
If she refuted. The strongest pressure
was brought upon her to compel her to
assign her husband's life Insurance or trans
fer her property , and the lady was only pre
vented doing so by the fact that she wab t > o
completely prostrated that she was physi
cally unable. She asked to bo given until
Monday to consider the matter , but before
the gentlemen left the house she recovered
suinclently to Indignantly refuse the de
mand ,
Mts Theodore was seen by a I3co reporter
last evening and stated that she had no
doubt that the report of the shortage was
true , but she was utterly unable to even
Imagine where the money went to. She
said that Mr. Theodore hail sent her but $125
since last November and $25 to the llttlo girl.
The money she used In going there was her
own. She was compelled to borrow $50 ot a
friend there to defray the cost cf her return
trip , when she received tliu news ot her
husband's death. She says that all tha
property Mr. Theodore has deeded to her are
two lots In Llnroln and two In Council llluffa ,
and these transfers wcro made eight years
ugo , four jears buforu ho begun working for
the company. The KUIIHIH and Nebraska
lands were her own , purchased with her
money several years ago. Nearly all of the
property Mr. Theodore was reputed to have
proves to have been hers and held In her
name prior to their marriage. She feels
most deeply the cruel attack made upon her
and her frjcnda regard It us part of the
company's scheme to force her Into com-
pllanco with their demands.
There are EOIIIII very icmarkablo facts
connected with Mr. Theodore's death. At 7
o'clock on the night ot his death ho bad
$1CO In his pocket , $60 of which ho Intended
In send to hla wife. After Ills death only
15 cents could be lound upon his person.
In November Mrs , Theodora bought and
paid for two suits of underwear , amounting
to $27 , and Just before she started south she
fixed up his shirts , thirteen In numbor.
After his death only one tlilrt , and that n
ragged OIK- , could be found , and the only
other wearing apparel that could bo found
was the suit of clothes ho had on. Where
they went to Is as much a mystery as what
became of his money. Acquaintances who
know something about the dead man's habits ,
say that ho was engaged In speculations
on the Chicago markets , and this will ac
count for the absence of his money.
All of the friends of the family , and they
Include people who have known them all of
their married life , Indlgmitvly deny tbo cruel
Intimation that I here wua any domestic
Infelicity , and the many friends of Mrs
Theodore very warmly refute the charge
that she was responsible for her husband's
undue dcmnnd for money , but say that she
was cvrn more saving ( ban he.

Kitraordlimry Vegetable Whom ) Cultivation
In'llccontlnj ; n I'ml In Council IllutTx.
The moat popular bees In Council muffs ,
of course , nre the Omaha Morning , Evening
ami Sunday Hoes , and throughout the state ,
on account of prohibition restrictions , the
second most popular Is the bottled 111) ) , the
thinly disguised and guileful lager that Is
fixed up In the river towns for thojntcrlor
prohibitionists. Hut n new kind of 'bee has
appeared whose cultivation promises to boone
ono of the most popular and useful fads of
the day.
Some time ago a well known and wealthy
lady , whose ton Is traveling , received from
him n two-quart bottle filled with curious llt-
tlu pods that somewhat resembled hops ,
only smaller itr.d ot a different color. With
the package came n letter telling of the
origin of the rods , their use and their name.
They originally came from Alaska , where
they were dlscovvied growing on the roofs
of caves. Hanging from ( ho rocky celling In
great bunches and always slightly In motion ,
they very much resembled great swarms of
bees , and this nanip naturally attached to
them when It was found that each pod was
n complete organization within Itself , capa
ble of Its own reproduction and having no
other than a fraternal connection wltb _ Its
fellows. They wcro a great curiosity , and
became of still greater Interest when It
wan found that the untutored children ot
nature , the Alaskan savages , would conic to
the caves and cat great quantities of them
after they had feasted on sea cow and wal
rus blubber , and were then capable of going
back and eating half a whale. When asked
why they ate them , they rubbed their
stomachs , pointed to the flint rocks and
then pointed down their throats , Indicating
with natural humor of simple savages their
ability to digest rocks with old of these
bees , A closer examination showed all
sizes of the pods , or whatever-vou-may-call-
them , from tliobo fully developed to those
still In an cmbrvonlc state. A quantity
of them were gathered and sent homo by
the members or the party , and since then
they have been making a great record ns
affording Immediate relief and a positive
euro for all fotms of Indigestion and
dyspepsia. For medical purposes they are
placed In n bottle and Kept covered with
water. This water Is drawn off from time
to time and drank after meals It has a
sparkling , champagney appearance and a
very pleasant llavor. slightly llko hops.
Several cases of Indigestion that have re
sisted all other forms of treatment have
yielded quickly to the pleasant charm of
the bees.
The process of reproduction is quite rapid ,
and Is going on constantly whenever the
bugs or berries are kept covered
with sugared water. In the dry
form they ore Inert and motion
less , but whenever they are moistened they
show nn activity that Is strangely animal-
llko. The lady has given a portion of her
store to various friends , and they In turn
have "swarmed" and the extra product
given to others until at the present time
there are ( julto a number of the Interest

Auditor Gould , among other matters , rcc-
ommonds that before any more Improvement
work Is donoVthat the system of raising
certificates 6t assessment against property ,
as now In force at Creston , la . should be
Investigated. Such a system will obviate
the necessity of the Issuing of bonds and
will make a much better showing as regards
Indebtedness than the present method. Ho
also calls attention to the fact that part of
the Intersection bonds will reach the ten-
year period this summer , when they can bo
called In , and recommends that funds avail
able should bo used to retire these bonds aa
soon as possible.
The Increase of general fund warrants Is
duo to the use of money from the police
fund to take up past due bonds. These sums
will be replaced ns soon as the deferred In
terest on special assessments are collected ,
which will bo during the year 1805. The
sum of $12,800 was so used and the mort
gage on the South Main street hose house ,
amounting to $5,100 , was also paid off during
the year. Warrants are bringing fl5 cents.
as against 97 to 98 one year ago , In spite of
the financial depression which has prevailed ,
and all bonds have been disposed of at par
and accrued Interest after a most rigid In
vestigation by the purchasers.

"There Is nothing more pitiful than the

known democrat yesterday. ' ! spent ssvcrnl
days at D > s Mollies during the fight and I
saw enough to convince mo that th'H claes cf
the democrats wore clvlni ; the ultra-prohl-

vent the modification ot the law.Yullc
there nro a largo number of the democratic
members of both houses deeply enough Inter
ested In the prosperity of the state to hon
estly Uo all thcyau to assist In changing
the law , yet the politicians , the nctlve ,
mouthy follows who do the rustling and the
talking outside , are putting every obstacle
possible In the way of success. They are
perhaps justlflol In their course on the score
that such n courJtf > ? KOO < l politics , for they
feel sure the democrats will bo given another
lease of power In the state It the present
legislature falls to keep the pledge made by
the republicans before the election. I do ndt
believe the democrats would dare to come
out openly and oppose anything that would
give even a meajjure of relief , but there Is
no disguising the fact that they nro giving
all the aid and comfort they can to the
enemy. The rejoicing that has gone up from
democratic camps all over the state over the
defeat of the Carpenter bill and the mulct
bill In my opinion will bo short lived , for the
republican party managers will bco that
anything that causes democratic Joy must
mean republican sorrow. I tli'nk the outlook
Is brighter now for a good , sensible law ,
greatly modifying the obnoxious statute ,
than It has bean at any tlmo since the legis
lature convened. The republicans will get
together now , and the dems will have to
stand up and do their duty. "

WILL THY A XJttr TACK ,
Iowa Republicans Will Try to r.vgnllze the
Silo of Mult Ilrvrrugrs.
DES MOINES , March 17. ( Special Tele
gram to The Bee. ) The republican sena
tors who are honestly endeavoring to carry
out the pledge of the party platform , after
carefully canvassing the situation , believe
that the Carpenter bill , properly amended ,
can pass the senate and have agreed to
make radical changes In that measure be
fore again putting It on Its passage.
The word "bplrltuoub" will bo stricken
out. so as to leeallno the sales only ot the
milder beverages , and the signatures of a
majority of all the voters will be requited
to the petition for calling an election. The
saloon will also be confined to cities having
not less than G.500 Inhabitants and pro
hibited In the residence portion of such
places. With these amendments , with resub-
mlssion , there nro twenty-two or postlbly
twenty-three republican votes in sight for
the measure , lacking only three of a con
stitutional majority. These votes lire ex-
ppeted to be furnished by Senator Dent of
Plymouth from the democratic side of the
house in return for republican assistance
In locating the new Insane asylum at
Lomars.
The republicans who will not support n
local option bill or any measure legalising
the saloon are understood to bo : Andrews ,
Chantry , Cheshire , Eaton , Finn , Gorrell ,
Jowctt , Kllburn , Porrln , Phelps , Turner and
Vale. Senators Cheshire and Pcrrln take
this couieo In obedience to Instructions from
their dlutilcts. Senators Jamison and
Rowan will glvo only a reluctant support
to the bill , should they vote for It at all ,
and this only for the sake of the party. It
looks as If the fate of all legislation of this
character depends on the action of those two
senators.
The legislative sessions were unimportant
today. The senate passed thp house bill
appropriating $20,000 to tbo State Agricul
tural society to liquidate Its Indebtedness
and the house discussed the Young bill to
provide for road Improvement , without reachIng -
Ing results. , i i

In the language of the street , the Inde
pendents are red headed at the tinning
down of their aspirants * for office by the
citizens' convention. Either Judge Fowler or
55. P. Hedges would have pacified them , but
each was given a cake of Ice. In turning
down Judge Fowler the convention dropped
out the best police judge South Omaha has
ever had. But ho was an Independent and
that settled It. Z. P. Hedges Is also un In
dependent and ho did not get enough votes
to make any ono man very happy.
Aa a result ot the knock-out of the Inde
pendent aspirants It Is quite likely that
another ticket will be put In the Held by this
party. A cauciiH of the active members waa
leld last night and It was practically agreed
; o nominate a full ticket and have It in the
field by Tuesday.
