When the case was called yesterday morning
argumfiits were beard by Judge Berka on
n motion for Iho release of the defendants.
The arguments consumed the time until noon.
In passing upon the motion Judge Berka
Eald that facts had been established that
John Soljan had Inccl and was dead and that
his death hailjjeen caused by a wound In
flicted on his throat with some sharp Instru
ment. The theory of sulcldo had been refuted
by the evidence , in his opinion the Injury
to the throat hail been ir.illcted in the cottage -
tago at 1318 Pierce street and that the wound
wan ot a nature to c.iusu almost Instant
death. Whllo the case of the state was not
au strong as would DC tuquircd to convict ,
the evidence was sufllclcnt to hold the men
for trial In the district court. The fact that
the key to Seljin's trunk , which It was
shown Seljan had used ) on Mon
day preceding lib death , was found
In the possession ot Bukovc after Seljan's
disappearance , was eNldenco sufllclcnt to con

OMAHA , July 11. To the Editor of The
Bee : Enthusiasm over the prospects ot the
oiulng state fair to be held In Omaha is not
onflneJ to state lln& . The people of west
ern andi middle Iowa are \ery much In
terested In the White City by the big Mis
souri. A great number of families In thai
state have relatives In Omaha and Nebraska
and can easily bo Induced to attend the fall
f proper effort Is put forts. The trip to the
World's fair has whetted their appetite foi
attending displays of this character and the
present magnificent outlook for crops In thai
itato has raised their spirits to the point
shore they feel llko celebrating In some waj
and a trip to Omaha's big state fair wil
about fill the measure of their ambition.
But , whilst this Is true , some effort IE
icodcd to let our Iowa neighbors know eonie-
hlng of the real magnlflcensc , size and prac-
leal character of this great exposition ol
ours. I have spent the last three weeks Ir
weitorn nnd central Iowa and from persona
oxperlenco know that If the Nebraska etatc
'ulr Is properly advertised lit Iowa that hci
leoplo will como over by thousands
Whllo on this trip I traveled over 100 mile !
'n a carriage , and , although expecting bound
[ ill crops , surprises met me on every hand
Kew years have blessed the farmer will
such grand crop prospects as the present Ir
the Hawkeyc state. Wheat , corn , oat ? am
\egetables are luxuriant. Corn Is a goo
stand , sturdy of stock ana as green as thi
bay tree. Wheat is nil In head and as cvei
on top as a lloor. The growth of the oa
fields Is so rank In places as threaten ti
oil go. Whole field ] of potatoes were li
jlossom Juno 20 , aery unusual thing-ant
for weeks Iowa people have been using nev
potatoes of their own raising. The hay crop
although sufllcient for home consumption , I
not up to the average and the pastures an
a lllto ) short.
The farmers of Iowa will profit by the les
sooa of last 5 ear by caring for their con
fodder This excellent stock forage Is be
ginning to be appreciated by stock men am
farmers. The water question Is the mos
serious ono that confronts the Iowa farnie
today. There has been too much dralnlni
and ditching and the farmer who used t
curse his stars for ImUng to cross bogg ;
sloughs would bless some kind fairy shouli
she furnish his hogs with a decent wallow
The rains , whilst tuinclent for surface Irrl
gallon , have not penetrated the ground fa
enough to effect the water supply Dee ]
wells and whirring wind mills are becomlni
a necessity all over the state.
A not less noticeable feature on the farm
:
ot Iowa than the bountiful crops Is the Im
pro\ed condition of the stock kept. Wher
a few > errs ago were ths scrawny , prolrl
breeds of cattle , with nondescript pedlgre
and horns equal to Texas cattle , can now b
found great herds of Hcrford , Poled Angm
Holsteln and Jeisey cattls. They are trlr
limbed , smooth baned and can be seen thes
July days switching ( lies In the phade an
looking as slick and fat as moles. The sam
Is true of fiwlnc , horses and Indiel of c\er
other animal kept upon the farm ; e\en th
chickens and turkcyn arc of blooded stocl <
The farmers of Iowa enow a thrift an * pro

architecture. Beautiful g-o\ei ourround thes

Investigation of Comptroller1 ! ) Offlco Brings
Oat Some Startling Fact.
CHECKED UP MONEY THAT HE NEVER SAW

ponlleil Contrnry to l.iiu , Yet 116 Itu-
inulncit Silent , Allowing the
1'ntctlco to Co.itlnuc.
The comicllmnnlc Investigation Into the af
fairs of the onico of tlio city comptroller ,
which has been In progress for t\\o days
past , was completed yesterday afternoon , and
the committee report Mill bo presented to
the council next Tuesday night. At the con
clusion of the testimony Comptroller Olsen
assured the members of the committee that
there was no charge that could possibly bo
laid against him and requested them to pre
pare their report at once , so that he could go
away In peace on his summer \acatlon at
Lake Washington. This was agreed to , but
as a rdlcal difference of opinion do\ eloped
between Councllmon Ilowell and Saunilcrs as
to the nature of the report , It was found Im
possible to reach a conclusion last night.
Councilman How ell contends that the ad
missions made by the comptroller himself In
dicate that he has been very derelict In his
duty. In this connection he remarked : " 01-
sen may ha\o lived up to the letter of the
law , but ho has certainly fallen far short of
the spirit of It. " Saunders had nothing to
say. It Is understood , however , that he
wishes to let the censure of the council fall
aa lightly as possible on the comptroller's
shoulders Doth councllmcn agree that a rad
ical reform Is demanded In the present sys
tem of checking up. It Is possible that two
reports will be presented , reflecting their dif
ferent views as to the responsibility of the
comptroller for the circumstances which ha\e
occurred during the past two months.
When the Investigation was resumed yes
terday morning Assistant City Attorney Cor
nish cross examined a number of witnesses
for Mr Olsen Edward Hosewater answered
an Imitation to nppeir before the committee
and Mr Cornish handed him copies of the
reports of the comptroller and treasurer and
defiantly asked him to show where the comp
troller was at fault.
Mr UosB.vatcr said that In his opinion the
report Justified the Impression that tin
comptroller haJ not kept a proper check or
disbursements that should have been madi
only on warrants duly signed and approprl
atlons mnio by the city council.
nCPOIlTS PROVED NOTHING.
Mr. Cornish Inquired If there were on ;
facts tint showed that the comptroller wai
in colluslan with the treasurer. Mr. Uose
water replied that there were only such fact
as were Inferential. The statement of tin
comptroller that certain sums were on de
posit In the smaller binUs to the credit o
the school fund when no such amounts wen
In the school fund would Indicate that th <
comptroller must know that u part of th
funds of the city wert on deposit for specula
the purpo-cs In the small banks. Either tha
was the case or the comptroller was woe
fully Ignorant and Incompetent.
Continuing , Mr. Hosewater said that ther
was nothing either In the comptroller's repor
or In that of the treasurer t
show how much money was de
posited , or how largo a balanc
remained. Neither did It prove that Hie residue
duo not on deposit was In the vaults of tit
city treasurer. The duty of the comptrolle
was unquestionably to check up all receipt
and disbursements of the treasurer. He wa
presumed to check up the bank books an
see that the stated balances were actually 1
the banks. Then he should see that th
residue was In the treasurer's vault. Th
statement of the comptroller that the trea. *
urer's report agreed with his own book
might be true and a defalcation exist , never
theless. A check that did not take the cas
Into consideration was no check at all an
In that case there was no purpose in havln
a comptroller. The mayor and city counc :
had general Jurisdiction over the finances c
the city and the office of comptroller ha
been created cNpres'ly for the purpose c
keeping a clo e check on the treasurer's omc
and Informing the council from time to tlm
of Its condl'lon If the Irtea was correct tha
the compt-Uler's duties d d n t 're u3o an eve
sight over the cash and bank deposits , ther
was absolutely no check on the treasure !
Ho might put a small amount In the bank
and speculate or otherwise dispose of th
remainder. On June 18 there was
shortage of from $25000 to $30,00
In the treasurer's office Mr. Ilolln had n
least two months before drawn out o\e
$10,000 , without warrant or appropriation , an
applied It to his own use. There mu
consequently have been a shortage of tha
amount In the deposits nnd this must hav
been discovered If the ofllce had been prof
erly checked up.
AN ILLEGAti DEPOSIT OP FUNDS.
Mr. Rosewatcr said that about two week
before Juno IS * he had begun to Investlgat
the condition of affairs and had found the
there could not have been much more tha
$2,000 In the school fund. At that time
was represented that there was $10,000 c
school money In the Midland bank , $ COC
In the Globe Loan and Trust company's ban
and $5,000 In the McCague bank This ha
struck him as being a remarkable state t
affairs. There was at least an Illegal d <
posit In banks that had not been designate
by the city council. This had been e ;
plained by the claim that the money was ai
of the school fund , but the figures quote
proved conclusively that there was no sue
amount In the school fund.
Major liernla was called and said that
the duties of the comptroller were nt
properly defined It was time that they wer
If a competent man had been In the com ]
troller's ofllce he should certainly have dl
covered that the checking up process was
farce and would have reported the facts I
the city council. It was certainly h
opinion that Mr. Olsen should have dii
covered the fault some time during the thr <
and one-half years during which he had bc
In ofllce.
r The afternoon was devoted largely I
P threshing over old straw. There were sorr
voluble explanations upon the part of M
Olsen , which were , as a rule , entirely foi
elgn to the points In controversy. Mr. Hosi
" water was recalled and emphasized his test
„ mouy given during the preceding sesslc
e with regard to the obvious laxity which wt
ie apparent In connection with the depositing <
the school funds.
J. E Wllbun testified that he had purchase
some warrants Issued for damages accruln
from a change of grade In an alley. This vu
on the recommendation of the comptrolle
The proceedings had subsequently bee
stopped by lnjunctlonand he was still hoi ;
Ing the sick. He thought that such a pri
ceedlng Indicated that there was somethlri
wrong somewhere.
Thomas Swobe testified to numerous er ;
sures on the tax lists. These were cause
as far as he had observed , by the pernlciot
practice of making out tax receipts for heav
property owners before the taxes were pil
In order to save them the Interest.

Reports have been circulated about the
streets In Omaha to the effect that the Union
Stock Yards company was not pa ) Ing ex
penses and that the receipts had fallen off
to such an extent that the stockholders con
templated a change of management.
The books nt the stock , yards office show
that during the seven mouths of this year
the receipts of cattle have held up wonder
fully well considering the drouth of last year.
During the first seven months of 1S94 334,005
cattle were received at the jards ; for the cor
responding time this year the receipts have
been 154,573 head. Of hogs during the first
seven months of 1B14 there were 901,495
head , and this jear 602,428 ,
In 1893 Nebraska raised over 167,000,000
bushels of corn , but the drouth of last year
cut the crop down to nearly 13,000,000 bushels ,
As a result of this shortage there are no
cattle or hogs In Nebraska now In compari
son with two years ago.
Records at the stock yards ofilco show that
for the seven months of this year Chicago
receipts have fallen oft 22 , Kansas
City 13 and South Omaha 42 per
cent Chicago with a good crop In Illinois
and surround'ng ' states fell oft half what
Omaha did during a drouth. Kansas City Is
fed by Texas cattle , none of which rnrely If

cattle to this market than last year , but is
making up the deficiency by fending hogs
During the first seven months of 1894 the
hog receipts were 89 96S head and for the
sfjino period this > oar there havebon received
from Iowa 178,697 head of hogs.
Colorado shows a little dropping off In cat
tle , but this Is more than made up by Ne
vada , Utah , Wyoming and Montana. Mis
souri has come tothe front and sent over
8,000 more cattle to this market than It did
during the same period last year. Hogs the
same. The reneon for thla Is that South
Omaha Is a better market today than Kansas
City and shippers arc sending their stock
where they can get the best prices. The de
mand with no local supply Is what has made
this market the best In the country.

County Lost a Suit tlint It Supp iscil tlmt It

The county of Douglas nearly won a
lawsuit In one of Its "poor farm" cases yes
terday morning.
The omclal and legal title of the county
is the County of Douglas , but Mrs. Lucj
G. Wright , and her attorneys , some three
years ago , when seeking to recover on o
claim against the county , overlooked this
fact and sued "Douglas county" to recovct
the sum of $ C33 , with Interest , Intending te
hold this county liable. Advantage was ai
once taken of this by the county attorney
and since then the case bus been hanging

been brought Into court , and could not have

Wright contended that It was simply c

HE DENIED HER LAST REQUEST
Huibiml ICcfuies to Allow n Dying AVIfoto
See Her 1'mtor.
The angel ot death and the demon ot do
mestic and religious discord have unltej In n
conflict at the home of cx-Pollccinan Starkcy
on North Twenty-second etrcet , In Kountze
Place.
Starkey Is an active member of the A. P.
A. organization and was until recently a
member ot the police force. Mrs. Starkcy Is
a devout member of HID Catholic church and
the religious differences between the husband
and wife nro responsible for much of the pres
ent lamentable state of affairs In their home.
Mrs. Starkcy has been 111 for some time and
yesterday her physician announced that she
was at death's door and could not live many
hours , The woman at once sought the con
solation of her religious belief and sent a
clghbor woman to secure the services ot a
Most of her faith The woman found rather
udgo and askeil him to visit Mrs. Starkcy
o administer the sacrament to the dying
oman. The priest called at tha Starkey
cslience , but was met at. the door by Mr.
turkey and refused admission ,
rather Judge remonstrated with Mr. S'nr-
cy and reminded him that whatever his be
ef might bo he should respect the wishes ot
ils dying wife and allow her to receive the
onsolatlon of a minister of her religion. Mr
tarkcy was obdurate and refused to allow
lie priest to enter the house.
The priest then left the house anJ returned
o his home. Later In the evening he re-
: elved another call from the dying woman
, nd again went to the Starkey homo and
ought admission. Mr Starkey refused to al
ow the priest to enter and became emphatic
n his denial of the privilege. Ho eald he
Id not concur In his wife's faith In the
Catholic religion and would kill any priest

Quietly , and without any call In the east
ern newspapers , the committee on reorganiza
tion of the Union Pacific Is concentrating the
bonds of the varied Interests with a view to
being able to submit to congress a plan that
win be freed entirely of the objectionable
features which characterized attempted legis
lation last winter. The make-up of the
committee Is not known , but It Is thought
that many of the men who gave strength to
the movement last winter for reorganization
are quietly working to bring about a unani
mous feeling among the bondholders to ac
cept their Just proportion in the new scheme
of reorganization.
The legal proceedings In the Oregon Shout
Line case have brought to the bondholders
a situation which heretofore has been vague
and shadowy , but never so strongly as now
have they realized what the disintegration o
the Union Pacific means.
Today the hearing will come up In Portland
on bill and answer in the Short Line case
and Mr. Zera Snow will represent the in
tercsts opposed to the foreclosure of the prop
crty. Upon the completion of the hearing
Mr. Snow will probably pray an appeal fron
the court to a higher tribunal upon a multl
pllclty of grounds In answer to the bill o
the petitioners , assigning among other reason
non-residence upon the part of plaintiff am
defendant , the lack of statutory enactmen
and other reasons why the plaintiffs In th
cause shquld not be granted the prayed-fo
'decree.
