LINCOLN , Dec. 11. ( Special. ) The State
Printing Doard met today in regular session
ot the office ot the secretary ot state. Bids
Tor the state printing for the ensuing year
were opened and contracts allowed tothe
euccessful bidders. Aside from class A ,
legislative printing , which was awarded to
Jacob North te Co. , the State
Journal company carried oft a larg
majority of the different contracts.
The following were secured"by the Journal
company : Printing for the secretary of
( State , $3.45 per folio for 1,000 copies ; state
treasurer , $3.65 per 1,000 ; commissioner pub
lic lands an-1 buildings , $2.25 per 1,000 ;
Ilureau ot Labor , $1.95 per 1,000 ; State

State Doard ot Agriculture's printing at the

IN THE COURTS.
The Qulncy National bank secured Judg-
nent IR the district court this morning
against the German American Investment
company of this city for $6.640 , and Immedi
ately afterward filed a lengthy petition ,
which contains some sensational charges. The
plaintiff avers that the defendant company
was organized In 18DO for purposes as out
lined by Us name , and that In January ,
1892 , the capital stock thereof was $50.000 , of
which James Irwln held $9,000 worth. It
further alleges that In that month Irwln met
the president of the company , C. E. Mont
gomery , and secretly and fraudulently , with
out authority from the directors , without a
meeting of any of the managers of the com
pany or their knowledge or consent , unlaw
fully and wrongfully reduced the capital
stock from $50,000 to $41,000 by cancelling
the $9,000 worth of stock held by Irwln , and
giving him In lieu thereof $9.000 worth of
stock In the Qulncy National bank , part of
the assets of the investment company , which
wai converted for this purpose. Irwln was
a brother-in-law ot Montgomery. The plaintiff
therefore asks that , as the Investment com
pany Is now Insolvent , and plaintiff Is un
able to collect Its Judgment from It , the can
cellation ot the stock held by Irwln bo set
aside and ho be required to restore the stock
to the assets of the company , whereIt may
be applied to the liquidation of said com
pany's obligations.
The cross-examination of J. A. Duckstaff
was concluded in Judge Hail's court today ,
after a two days' siege , and the defense Is
now having Its Inning. The line of defense
Is the same as that which was declared to be
no good by the previous Jury.
Mrs. Alice Dryden , the wife of one of the
members of the defunct firm of VanDusen &
Mrydon , asks the district court that she bo
decreed to have a first Hen on the $030 now
In the hands of the court , claiming It on a
promissory note for $430 executed to her for
work and labor. She attacks the validity ol
McConnllT'a mortgage , claiming It was ex
ecuted without the knowledge of her husband ,
R. J. Dryden , and Is null and void because
withheld from the records for three months ,
and at any rate was only given to secure a
private debt owed by Alice E. VanDusen. A
number of other grounds. largely technical ,
nro brought forward as defenses.
W. S. Scott , alias Saundcrs. Is still en
deavoring to convince Judge Strode and a
jury that he Is a misjudged and misused man.
Colonel Scott 13 accused of being one of the
principals In the burglary of the emporiums
of Philip Opp and A. S. Eager at Davey , and
while his partner , Etchlnson , says he Is guilty
and two or three officers and a justice of the
peace testify that he confessed the robbery ,
Colonel Scott Insists that there Is some awful
mistake. He is endeavoring- rear an alibi
by trying to show that h was at the time
of the robbery on his way by foot to visit
Ms undo , who lives out In the country neat
there. He denies having confessed 'and sayj
that at tha time ot his arrest , examination
and trip to Lincoln he was sick , and conccdet
that ho might , have said something to the
ofllcers , as when a man Is sick , you know , he
doesn't pay much attention to what he says.

LINCOLN , Dec. 11. ( Special. ) Gorham F
Belts , who was convicted over a year ago o
defrauding the state out ot largo amounts o
money by presenting nnd having allowei
money for supplies never furnished while act
Ing as coal contractor to the asylumls _ ou
" *
again after a new trial. This time he"brlngs
It In the form ot an equity action. Belts , I
wllj bo remembered , , was the only one of the
men Indicted for defrauding the stale , by th
methods described who was convicted , and 1
was generally supposed that after his releas
on bail after sentence to the ponltenltary
his case would be dropped ; but evidently he
doesn't propose to have that sentence hang
Ing over him. The petition recites that on
the 12th day of May , 1S93 , ho was Indicted
and afterwards tried and found gullly. HI
application for a new trial was refused am
sentence Imposed. The usual forty days
time In which lo prepare ) a bill ot exception
was allowed , but the reporter failed to ge
the bill of exceptions ready and the tlm
was several times extended. Nolwlthstand
Ing that fact , however , he alleges that the re
porter has failed , neglected and refused t
make out the transcript of testimony , with
out which It would be Impossible for him t
bring the matter before the supreme cour
for review. Ho avers that It was not hi
fault that the transcript was not prepared
as after the court's attention bad been callcc
to the matter the reporter promised to mak
It out , but never did. Ho declares that h
relied upon the reporter entirely , and nether
other notes v > ere taken , and now that th
statutory tlmo has long since passed It woul
be Impossible , even were the notes trans
crlbed , to bring the case before the suprem
court for review , and that by reason of th
laches of the reporter hp has been deprived
ot his constitutional right of appeal. There
fore the only road open fo him Is to get an
other trial In the district court.
John M. Falrflcld Is the court reporter I
question , and he promises a sensation If Mr
Price , who U Belts * attorney , Insists upon
charging that the fallurbHo secure the trans
crlpt ot testimony was due to any negligence
carelessness or refusal otvhls part to perforn
his duty. He says ( liat ; after the case liai
been tried and the proceeding * In' ' this cour
ended he was procpedng ) to get out th
transcript as ordered , .y.lien Price came t
him and told him he need not do that , as h
was going to take up'tho-caso to thesuprem
court by some other method that would no
necessitate the milking and filing ot
transcript. Mr. Falrflelil thereupon stoppei
but later was called ulibn by Price , win
asked If the transcript w 3 ready. His prevl
ous instructions \ver9 Recalled to his mini
and he thereupon proposed that the rcportc
go ahead. Later he made another call , a
which ho made a proposition to the reporter
the exact nature ot which the reporter de
cllnes to at present relate , but the matte
was laid before Mr. Snell of the counsel to
prosecution , and , if what the reporter hint
at is true , there prcmliei to develop omo
thing of a sensational nature.

good fashion , but the treasurer took advan
tage ot the duties of the members ct the com

A stack containing thirty tons of hay be
longing to Charles Vandeventer , who lives
out on the Platte bottoms , north of town , was
destroyed by fire last night. The hay was
so remote from the railway tracks that to
ascribe It to locomotive sparks Is cut of the
question. The blaze was doubtless of In
cendiary origin. Mr. Vandeventer is the
victim of a contemptible sort of splto "work.
Thrca years ago his house was set en flro
and burned , and about a year later an un
known assailant stabbed him In the back
while he was going to his home from this
city on a dark night. The authorities have
a clew as to the person guilty of the last
outrage , and will Icavo nothing undcno to
clear the matter up.

Notnlilo Speeches lloforo the Denver
Mnnufiiuturent' 1'xchnngo.
DENVER , Dec. 11. Two notable- speeches
on bimetallism were delivered nt the ban
quet of the Denver Manufacturers exchange
tonight. O. A. Holmes of Burnley , England ,
chairman of parliamentary committee
of the- trades union congress of the United
Kingdom , represent ng-lI5),030 ware earners ,
speaking- the toast , "Bimetallism and
Wage Earners , " said : "Thinking- men ac
count for the present trade depression by
the appreciation of poltl consequent on the
demonetization of silver In 1873 nnd since.
If silver Is restored to Its former position
It will revive trade and commerce the world
over. Public opinion In England has re
cently crown rapidly on the subject , and
textile workers nnd others are co-operating
with the bimetallic league. The. recent ex
periment of the British government with
the financial nnd currency question In India
Is n Hat failure , and the Indian government
Is nt Its wits' ends to raise the necessary
revenue. Bimetallism will be nn Important
factor In the next British general election
In 1895 , nnd will be a test question In Lan
cashire and other constituencies for parlia
mentary candidates. "
Hon. Whnrton Ilaker of Philadelphia ,
Bpcaklng on "Hlmetalllsm nnd Manufac
tures , " said : "Tho professors of political
science In Great Britain , men In the front
rank In Europe nnd America , favor bimetal
lism ; the opposition comes from money lend
ers. The demonetization of silver has con
tracted the world's money almost one-half ,
and appreciated gold , to the great ml van
tage of the creditor class and the damage
and ruin of the debtor class , The proposed
plan of bank currency set forth In 1'renl-
ilent Cleveland's message Hlioulil bo opposed
by every citizen who has the welfare of the
people at heart. Bimetallism must be re
stored by Independent action by America ,
nnd can be whenever the people are deter
mined to have financial as well a : < Indus
trial Independence ; to abandon British gold
monometallism ns they have ilono British
free trade , whenever they know the differ
ence between nn American policy and nn
alien policy. " Ho suggested that America
admit silver from American mines to coin
age upon seigniorage absorbing three-fourths
of the difference between the London price
nnd the coinage vulue , nnd foreign silver
be admitted for coinage ut a seigniorage ab
sorbing all the difference- between the Lon
don price and the coinage value.
"The road to American prosperity , " he
said , "Is bimetallism and protection. "
