LIMITS CF BONDS EXCEEDED. "
The action ot Governor Ilolcoinb In refus
ing to approve the bonds ot the four banks
Included In the last tabulated statement maybe
bo guessed ot. In order to place the gov
ernor's refusal before the people In diagram
form tlio following statement will servo :
lly the provisions of the law under which
no deposltoiy Is entitled to more than one-
halt of the amount of the bond given to secure
the state , the First National bank ot Platts-
moulh would bo entitled to $10.000 ot etnto
funds. The treasurer's report shows that it
hold on the day Us bond was approved by the
Bccretary of state and attorney general $11-
7CI. or $1,761 In excess of the legal amount.
The Columbia National of Lincoln should
hold not to exceed $50,000. The report
fihou-8 that Ho holdings on November 30 ,
1S96 , were $61,950 , or $14,950 In excess of the
legal amount.
The First National Dank of Greenwood
should hold not to cxroeil $10,000. The report <
port nhowfl tlrat on November 30. 1S96 , It licit !
$10,674 , or $574 In CXCCM ot the legal amount
The First National of Lincoln held bill
$56 In cxccns ot the amount Its bond entitled
It to.
Treasurer Mesorvo holds that the obvlotm
violation of the plain provisions ot the de
pository law In reference to these four
hanks may vltlato their bonds. This Is
ona of the features of the law which the
supreme court has been nuked to Interpret.
Several days before his retirement from
ofllco Treasurer Hartley called In $300,000
In outstanding warrants. Thcso warrants
will Imvo to be met from the funds volun
tarily turned In by depository bnnks nnd
collected from county treasurers. The com-
IDK monthly statement of the ntnto treas
urer promises to show a marked reduction
In the total amount of outstanding general
fund warrants.
The members nnd employes of the legis
lature received warrants for the first In-
nlallmcnt of their pay loday. While It
was at first reported that these warrants
would have to bo cold at the otllccs of local
brokers at G per cent discount the state
treasurer redeemed nil that were presented

PLATTSMOUTII- . , Jan. -Special. ( . )
The prospect of the erection of a $75OOC
government postofflce building in this city
In the near future has set the town ng'og
with excitement. The citizens generally
appear to be anxious to have the matter
taken hold of in a business-like manner nnd
If the project Is engineered n-operly the
elto will bo selected upon Its own merits nnd
the price set at a reasonable figure. This
city has always had Us "light hidden under
a bushel" and its claims have been per
sistently Ignored by Its representatives In
congress' Immediately after election , but
Congressman Strode apparently is endeav
oring to make a return for this city's loyalty
and demand for it the recognition It de
serves.

businesslike to .go ahead as far as possible
without Incurring large expense. Thews dl
rectors wcro In i favor of opening the repor
of the engineers and voting at once upon
the location. This course was warmly sup
ported by J. O. Wharton , Dr. E. W , Leo
C. E. Yet , Alvln Eaunders , J. L. Webster
and others. T f
The resolution was supported by all the
members of -executive committee , nnd a
largo number of others. C. S. Montgomery
said It would be an Insult to the people o
the communltyto open the reports and vote
upon a site without allowing the report o
the engineers to be made public and glvo
the cltlzeno on opportunity to be-heard In the

Herman Kotfntze 6ild the resolution shouli
bo adopted , but If iliould first bo amended to
provide that the report should not bo npcnci

made a shortcut earnest talk which had a
very perceptible effect.
G. H. Payno' ' drmanded that the rcpor

This Idea did not meet w.lth favor and the
amendment was adopted. , ,

J. L. Wcbetcr then ottered a oubstltute

tute was adcptcd.
C. S. Montgomery , of the special commit
tee of lawyers appointed to Investigate the
legal right of the city of Omaha and Douglar
county to make appropriations for the sup
port of the Exposition , reported that the
authorities of the city or county have no
such power. Ho aald It would bo acceasao
for the Icglslnturo to enact laws giving the
city nnd county such power before such ac
tion could bo taken.
The executive committee reported that It
liad not yet taken nny action upon the reso
lution of Director Youngs regarding the em
ployment of Douglas county labor on the
Exposition , and asked that It bo given fur

board then adjourned for two weeks.

MARSEILLES , Jan. 23. The greatest feelIng -
Ing ot alarm prevails hero among the masses
of the population on account of n number
of suihien deaths which have occurred In
one street. 01110 ton dnyn ago a report was
circulated hero that a case ot bubonic plague
had been discovered.
This was promptly denied by the health
ofllccrs nnd others , but the precautions token
to guard against the Introduction of the
plague from Hombny or Karachi to this port
were redoubled , and mpeolally In the vicin
ity of the old and now ports , \vhero
the maritime population congregates. In
those neighborhoods flcamcn nnd oth
ers from nil parts of the world
nro to bo found In great numbeis , and In
the vicinity of the old port , especially the
etrc-ots are narrow In the extreme , lined
with old , over-populated houses , and In
every way unhealthy , the cobblcstono road
way , as a rule , having dirty guttera , through
which vile drainage flown , since the plague
alarm , atcfn have been taken to clean the
streets ns much as possible , and domiciliary
vlslta has been made by the health ofilccrs In
the most dangerous quarters.
Under the circumstances It Is not extra
ordinary that the authorities wcro greatly
alarmed when the report was first spread
that a case of bubonic plague had been
discovered , but It was not until today that
the general public became frightened. It
was announced that nine sudden deaths
had occurred In ono street within a few
days , nnd of , course the plague wns blamed ,
rightly or wrongly , In every case. The
health officers declare that nil nine cases
wcro deaths from "Infectious pneumonia , "
but the public Is very far from being satis
fied.

vas tonlg'ht giver n complimentary banquet

ho course of his epcech ha made wholesalf
charges of fraud at the election. He said ,
among other thlnga : "In Ohio there werr
nearly 200,000 moro votes counted In 1830
ban there wcro In 1892 , which would Indi
cate an Increase of population In that state
luring four years of very nearly 1,000,000
> eople , whereas In reality there has not
> cen an Increase of a third of a million In
hat time. In other words , It Is clear that
n Ohio over 94,000 fraudulent votes were
lountcd , and an the returns show that Me
( Inlcy had only a majority ot 49,000 in that
atato , it Is certain Mr. Urynn carried Ohio
jy over 40,000.
"In Illinois In 1S92 practically every legal
oto was cast , yet In 1898 tht-ro were 243.000
more votes cast than there wcro In 1E92.
During the wliolu past history of Illinois our
population had not reached 4,000,000 ; In ten
earn , from I860 to 1E90 , during which our
growth was greatest , the population of tlio
Btato Increased only about 750,000 ; yet , ac
cording to tlio late election return , that
population of this state Increased In four

This thows the monstrously fraudulent char
acter cf the whole proceeding.

lioso fraudulent votea , McKlnley did carry

A horrible story comes from Jumonto , prov

nnd barbarous methods of warfare.
A Spanish force under Captain Martelll en
tered the place , ulilch had been the camp
of the Insurgents , and before going away
secretly poisoned the wells and a line spring
tnotoil for affording extra Intro water. That
evening a Spanish band ot guerrillas entered
the town after the others had left and used
the water , from which over twenly-flvo men
died. The guerrilla captain charged the
Cuban rpsidenly with poisoning l.-ls men. Ho
took the principal residents and sbot them
dead. Ho then turned the women over lo the
tender mercies of the men , who shot young
boys who attempted to save their mothers
and sisters. Ho burned Iho village. Tlio
next day some of the Spanish troops told
the guerrillas the story of the trap they had
set for the Cubans nnd learned that their
own comuariona in arms had been caught
by their own barbarous plot.
