Lnst Thurday morning V. ' . N. Nnson . J.
H. Hartley . Henry Sprick and S. D. Thomp-
' : son of the State Helef cormlsslon started
out upon an expediton In an effort to secure -
cure seed grnln for the forty.threo drouth.
; stricken counties of this stnte. The gentlemen . I
men first visited St. Louis and tram there ;
they went to Chicago , returning to Omaha
yesterday morning.
In speaking the journey and the work
accomplished \ ( , Mr. Nason president of the
, . commission , said that all of the members
felt greatly encouraged over the success
that had attended theIr lahors. Upon
: reaching St. Louis the members of the corn-
mission went to the city hal and called
upon the mayor who took them over to
the Chamber of Commerce , where nn en-
thuslastc meeting was held with the grain
men and n number of prominent citIzens.
As organizations , both the Board of Trade
and the Ierchants exchange volunteered as
sistance and In the end It was decided that
each county In the state should bo asked
to contribute a car of seed , as a gift to Ne-
braska to be sent In care of the cornmls-
aWn for distribution. Mr. Nason stated
that In his opinion some of the counties
. would send several cars and that In ad-
dltlon to wheat the Missourians would send
to this state corn , oats , rye barley and
garden and root seeds.
SAlE WAY AT CHICAGO.
From St. Louis the members of the corn-
mission went direct to Chicago , reaching
there Saturday morning. They went to the
hoard or Trade ( building . where they were
received In a most cordial manner by the
members and as soon ns the open session
closed , a : meeting was held , most or the
cosed I
Board or Trade members participating. Two
. plans were discussed , one being to con
tribute outright and the other to loan seed
grain to the farmers or this state , to be
paid back after the marketing or the crop.
In addition to this , the Board of Trade wilt
Issue an appeal to the counties of the state
asking each to contribute I car or more
of grain to the commission for distribu-
thin In the several counties which were
crouth ton stricken last year. At both Chicago
and St. Louis the opinion was expressed
that Nebraska was too modest In asking for
c. the assistance that she needed.
Mr. Nason stated that the commission
11. intending to continue the work which
It had undertaken , and that he had It upon
good zujtliority that Iowa Minnesota and
Indiana stood ready and willing to duplicate
any oiler that might be made by Illinois
and Missouri. In the event of this plan
being consummated , Mr. Nason said that
the five states would contribute not less
than 500 cars of seeds and seed grain.
The commission has made a careful estimate -
mate , and It Is stated that to plant the
land under ' cultivation In the forty-three
drouth-stricken counties wi require In the
aggregate 6,000,000 bushels. The planting
members or the commission -
of these lands the
mission figure . means In the event of a :
crop the fgure. or $100,000,000 to the rarmers.
METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION.
The manner or distribution has been one
or the knotty problems confronting the com-
, mls910n for many welts , but that has now
been solved , says Mr. Nason. The members
have evolved a plan by which each county
! . will recelvo its Just and equitable proportion.
- wl " Mr. Nason. "In
"The plan Is this , aatd II.
each of the .counties we have a central com-
. mllee , made up orhe 'officials lnd bet
r' citizens. In each county there has been a
ciizens. number of under
t canvass made of the acres
cnvass cultivation and the number or bushels that
will bo required of each kind or grain. These
: figures wo have and when any state or asso
elation ships any grain It wl bo cent to
caton tlstrlbuton point , consigned to the
commissioner and there It will be received
" commissoner anc
1 - by the central . committee or the county to
which I Is sent and fairly dtstrlbuted. In
? this way we hope to bl able to seed every
acre In western Nebraska and with a rail
crop the state will be upon Its feet before
the end or another YMr.
"Our people have passel through the winter
In remarkably good hape , " continued Mr.
Nason , "and while they have been compelled
to deprive themselves of the luxuries but
few have sutere . They have all had fuel
not to waste but tn sufcIent quantities to
keep them from freezing. They have also
had enough to eat . though the menu has not
been varied to any great extent , the prinCipal
articles having been bread and meat. He-
. gardlng the clothing. there has ben plenty.
Some of I has been good . whie some or It
has been next to worthless. But they have
been enabled to pull through the winter In
, good shape , f far as articles ot wearing
apparel are concerned. " .
- -
ThEY AHE COMING DACK.
. , - Being In direct commulcaton with the
central committees of the drouth stricken
countieS , Mr. Nason said that he was prepared -
pared to say that most of the people who
left the state last fall would return with the
coming of spring. "In fact they are coming
: now " added the secretary "and before the
, ground Is ready to be planted , fully nlne-
tenths or the men who abandoned their
: farms Ins summer will be back and maltng
* preparatona to once more plant their lands. "
, . The garden seed question Is one that has
4 been discussed among the farmers and many
Inquiries have been sent to this city asking
: r I there was some central point from which
lueh seeds would bo distributed This matter
r2 Is explained by Mr. Nason and In discussing
, It he said : "In Omaha wo have n large
warellouso hilled with garden seeds which
have been contributed by seed men and 11
farmers In other states These eeds have
been put up tn packages and will be ready for
distribution about March 15. Aside from the
seeds now on hand , we have $5.000 which wo
wi expend , titus being able to furnish all ,
. of the garden seed that will be required ,
, "In making the distribution . we will send
, . . * the county supply to the central commttteo
ot each county letting the members die-
' tribute direct to the farmers. Three corn-
4 znlttees have canvassed their respective counties -
. ; ties and have fed all applications . so that

Notwithstanding the Inclemency or the
weather the First Congregational church was
fled yesterday morning. The services were
conducted by Rev. Thomas M. Doss oi Leav-
enworth . Kan. The text of the sermon was ,
"What shall we render unto the Lord for all
of His benefits toward us ? "
ReV. Mr. Doss eloquently describe the
blessings that have been showered upon mankind .
kind by the Creator In all ages , but this age
being the last , It was also the most favored.
"Nothing could be conceived of . " he said
"that would be more suitable for the life and
happiness of the human race than the earth
Ise'lf. with Its bright sunshine happy homes
powerrul state and their laws for the pro-
tecton or all alike. But the greatest blessing
of them all . the great cvizer of nations , the

EX-JUDE ELLER INDICTED.
Charged with Appropriating , DivIdends In
Cases of Aesigmnont.
In the last bunch of Indictments handed
In by the grand jury Saturday was one
against ex-County Judge J. W. Eller.
.10 has not been arrested as It was too late
when the findings were returned Saturday
evening to Issue the capalses. They will be
Issued and served today.
I Is taken for granted by all those ' familiar
with the complaints made against Eiler . both
while Judge and since leaving the bencil that
the Indictment Is based on facts submitted
some time ago by County JUdge Baxter to the
county commissioners I was then pointed
out to the commissioners that Eler on taking
office receipted to his succeasor Judge
Shields for dividends still In the hands or
the court In assignment cases , but that he
failed to turn over to Judge Baxter such
amounts as had not been distributed during
Ehier's term and for which no receipts from
filial . parties could be shown. The aggregate
of these sums was stated o be about $200.
I Is not presumed that t'e larger sums
In dispute between Eler and his successor
are mentioned In the indictment The reason
assigned Is that thus far only questions of
law are Involved In these controversies

needs n pall of yellow covers to mate ! him
n walking dime novel , " said n citizen or
that burg at the Merchants. "I refer to
Colonel Jim Meagher , who Is now agent
or the Union PacIfic road at thai place.
When the road was fIrst constructed Colonel
Meagher was the . 'tra/lent agent' always
moved to the end ot the line pushed to the
front , as the rails were laid , to open a new
station. Jim has : , choice lot or reminIscences -
Iscences or plone1 days , including the time
when he shot aU tle feathers out or nn In-
dlan's war bonnet and then made the warner -
nor stand on his head on a pie or railroad
ties. This veteran , railroader also tells or
the time he carried 5. H. H. Clark on his
back and swam across the Plato river on
a hunting expedition . Another time . he
worked up n big snlolof tickets for the Union
Pacific by disguising himself as an Indian
accompanied by several or the yard crew
and riding on horseback through the small
town where he was agent , whooping and
shooting , with an . energy . that caused a
stampede or citizensto.the railroad sta-
( ion . where they bought . tickets In a hurry
for Omaha , to escape what they beloved
was an Inevitable massacre to follow , that
night Jim has an original way or check-
Ing a yard The wind blows so vigorously
at Columbus that he uses a broad shingle
as a record for car numbers. Instead or
being surrounded by Indians ho Is now surrounded -
rounded by n loving family , but he loves
to tell or the old days when he chased Indians -
dians ( and they chnsed him ) . with .an oc-
cas lanaI memory of close brushes wIth bears ,
and a wholesale slaughter or buffaloes. Ho
Is one or the oldest railroad agents or the i ,
country , and It Is doubtful I any of them
have had as many narrow escapes as Uncle
Jimmy "

TAX 110.1) ' 1'101'mID.
OMAHA March I.-To the Editor of The
Bee : Why would I not be an excellent
Idea to 80 amend our tax collection laws
that the county trensurer's office will be
something mOre than an oce maintained
at the expense of the people for the pur-
paso or keeping books and doing collecting
for a lot of tax sharks ? I hal occurr.d to
me thai the county authorities should be
authorized to Issue bones running say
from live to ten } years 10o known as tax
\ond8. and drawing say ( per cent interest
the proceeds from the sale or which could
bo used on the day upon which the taxes
became duo In paying up all delinquent
taxes on real estate. These bonds would
become n first len on the delinquent real
estnte. The county could charge al a
penalty for non-pn'ment or taxes an Intcr-
cst or. 10 per . cent and the difference be.
tween this rate and what the bonds bear
would return to the county no little rev-
enue At the end or the bond period . let.lt
be ten years 01 less , as may be deemed
best If the taxes had nol been paid I
would ( then have the tithe to the land forfeited -
felted to the county and then the property -
erty could be sold absolutely to the highest
bidder for the purpose or redeeming the
bonds.
This Is merely a suggestion , but It has
seemed to me that some such plan could
bo marked out , making the burden less
heavy on those who are temporarily unable
to pay their taxes and ut the same time
offering some return to the county Instead
ot being nn item or conliderble expense ,
as under tile plan In vogue I would lt
to heal from others on this subJect. . .

DENVER March 3.-0ne Of the most sys-
tematc and Ingenious check.ralslng
swindles that was ever successfully carried
out In America has just been unearthed In
this city . the victim being the Union Pacifc
company , nearly every bank In Denver and
several dry gods and ether house The
method sued by the swindlers show them to
be master criminals and : S daring as they
are dlshionesL
Early last month the Union Pacifc pY
car let Omaha on lie regular monthly tiip
to Salt Lake City with the wages of the
comp3ny's employes. Closely following the
car came . a gang of chek raisers , and its
members left the marks of their skill with
acid and pen In nearly every town where
Union Pacifc employee reside. The full cx-
lent ot their operations and the loss to the
company and to those who tool the raised
salary checks Is not yet fully known . but
enough has leaked out to show that the
check raisers have netted thousands ot dolnrs :
by the sWindle.
TECTIVES PUT TO WOHK.
The full force or lie Union Pacific Ile-
teclve corps Is at work on the matter . as
well as the police authorities In Denver and
aU the oilier towns along the line . The gang
visited the hotels and saloons most frequented
by railroad men where a large portion or the
checks had been cashed 01 traded In and
bought them up for cae ! In value the
chlck ranged from $10 to $100 , but each one
was skill ly raised to $110 and Passed for
that amount at banks and stores. In every
Instance the raised checlt was tendered for
some smnl purchiate so that the gang got
nearly the entire amount In cash. In Denver
the chlks ultimately reached different city
banlr where they were pronounced nU right
amid forwarded to Omaha. The Union Pacific
auditor then palse aU the $110 checks as
being all right and commenced the balancing
of nccounts When the returned checks weri
compared with the stub of the check book .
the fact became apparent that the checks had
been tampered with and work at once coin-
mence by lie railroad detectives.
I Is supposed that the gang worked west
to Sal Lake and then escaped to the COlst.
