meeting :
Thn cltlzpnn of Duluth are heartily In
favor of the Transmlsslsslppl nnd Internn-

Yesterday and last night the Transmlsslsslppl
Exposition had a long Inning before the
Kannas legislature. The committee from
Omaha was welcomed by the legislature In
friendly fashion and given an opportunity to
tell all It knows about the enterprise I' Is
pushing. As a result the outlook for the
participation in the exposition by Kansas on
a liberal scale Is very much brighter than
It was last week. The committee reached
the city about 1 o'clock , and went at once
to the capltol building , where both houses ot
the legislature had assembled In joint session
to receive the Omaha delegation. A com
mittee had been appointed by the legislature
to receive the visitors end cucort them to
the capltol , and under the direction of this
committee the Oinahans were escorted to
the speaker's desk , the legislators receiving
them standing.
At the suggestion ot the lieutenant gov
ernor , who asked the committee how It do-
Blred to proceed , Mr. Hitchcock , manager ot
the Department of Promotion , asked Presi
dent AValtles to present the exposition matter.
The president gave an outline of the history
of the enterprise , and was followed by John
L. Webster , who went a little more Into
detail on the topic. Careful attention and
generous applause was given the speakers.
Copies of the exposition pamphlet were dis
tributed , and then the committee visited the
senate and watcliej the proceedings for a
time. From hero the members went to
Governor Leedy'u office , where a conference
was held. It was there decided that a meet
ing of the ways and means committed would
bo held In the evening , and that the Omaha
delegation should have an opportunity to talk
business to the committee.
The conference In the evening was a most
Important one. There were prcoent four
committees of the legislature , the ways and
means committees of both houses , and the
agricultural committees. Besides these
there were present Governor Leedy , ex-
Governor I.cwelllng and ex-Governor Gllck ,
Mayor Fellows ot Topeka and othar influen
tial and Interested citizens. Jflany questions
were asked o'f the visitors during the two
hours of conference , and all were answered
In detail by Mr. Hitchcock , who presented
the side of the exposition. Hefore the com
mittee adjourned a vote of thanks was ten
dered the visitors for the Information
given.
A favorable report on the exposition ap ;
propriatlon bill Is generally expected next
week. The eorinnlttee left for Denver last
evening , and will bo there * today.

Lively Intercut In the- Contest for the
Ollle.-H.
A lively interest is being manifested on
the part of the women recently elected as
members of the Board of Lady Managers
of the Kducatlonal department of the ex
position regarding the election of officers for
their department. The plan under which
the Board of Lady Managers has been
called Into existence provides that the
body "shall elect Its own officers" and no
condition is imposed as to whether the offi
cers of the board shall be elected from
among the members of thu board or from
the outside. This lias thrown down the
bam to all co.nej-s and will allow of the
greatest latitude In the selection of ofll-
ccrs. It has been claimed that the board is
prohibited from going outside of Its own
membership In the election of a president ,
but a careful ( scrutiny of the plan of or
ganization on file In the office of Secretary
Wakofleld shows beyond any doubt that
this position Is not sustained by the facts.
A number ot candidates from Omaha for
the presidency of this board have been men
tioned during the past few days , and the
conlost Is becoming Interesting. The name
of Mrs. C. K. Mandereon has been urged
from a number of directions and a majority
of the Omaha members have expressed the
greatest gratification at the prospect of hav
ing a woman of nation * ! reputation at the
head of the board. Mrs. Henry \V. Yntea
and Mrs. W. P. Harfnrd , the latter the
president of the Woman's club , have also
been mentioned 4n this connection. Of the
candidates , Mrs. Horford Is the nly one who
U a member of the board. The Omaha
momlierf. of the board , however , will con
stitute a minority of thu board , being but
cloven out of a total membership of twenty-
Bovcn , and a formidable candidate may arise
among the women to bo elected from the
Boveral congressional districts or from those
elected In South Omaha or Council Bluffs.
It Is conceded on ail hands that the secre
tary should not bo elected from among the
members of the board , for the reason that
her duties will probably occupy all her
Hmo. and she should therefore bo paid.
The plan of or'ganlzntlo" provides , however ,
that no member of the board shall receive
any pay for services rendered , being exactly
similar In this respect to the rule adopted
by tbn directors of the exposition.
Two candidates for the position of secre
tary have been mentioned from among the
women of Omaha. Mrs , Frances M. Fonl
has died an application with Secretary Wake-
Held for the position and accompanies It
with a letter , In which she states that she
has been urged by her friends In the Woman's
club 1o mnko application. . 'Mrs. Julia CrUsey

dates who will probably bo made public
within a few days.
A sentiment has gained ground with omo
of the women that the women of the slate
should be given recognition by being elected
as officers of the board , to that , altogcthar ,
the situation Is becoming more complicated
every day.

LINCOLN , Feb. 1C. ( Special. ) The su

listened to a number of cases submitted on
argumant. An opinion was handed down In
the case of William J. Bryan nnd others
appellees , against Elmer. I ) . Stophanson nnO
others , appellants. This Is the celebrated
"gold bond" caae , which was won by IJryar.
In the' district court of Lancaator county , ani
appealed to the supreme court by Stcphensun
The appellees , Bryan and others , as residents
and taxpayers of the -city of Lincoln , Insti
tuted this action to restrain or enjoin the
execution nnd delivery by the city , mayor and
city council , of certain funding bonCo , amountIng -
Ing to $534,500 to Stephens * ) ! ! . Pleadings
were filed and Issues joined. The trial re
sulted In a Judgment In favor ot Bryan , and
the ealo of the bonds were perpetually en
joined. One of the main points contended
for by Bryan was that it was stipulated
that theoa bends should be made payable In
gold. This woo the principal ground upon
which he brought his action in the lower
court. The court , however , appears tc
have entirely ignored this point and to have
found for Bryan upon an altogether different
point. Following Is the syllabus :
"The clause , when the same shall have
been authorized by a vote of the people"
contained In section 00 , subdivision xxl ,
article I. chapter xlll-a Compiled Statutes ,
under heading "Cltlfs ot the First Class , "
means authorized by a majority of the
voters of the city.
A proposition to authorize the Issuance
of funding bonds was submitted to the
electors of a city pursuant to the pro
visions of such section of the statutes "t
the f-nmo time nnd place ns the general
city e'ectlon. ' Held : Under the fnets "
shown , to bo but one election ; that thn
presumption Is that all the electors ) voted
at .such election and the proposition to
work Its adoption must have received a
majority of all the votes cast at said
election.
The decision of the lower court U affirmed.
The Important feature of this opinion Is that
It lays down a line of judicial finding that
plainly foreshadows the opinion of the supreme
premo court on the vote for. the constitu
tional amendments last fall. The dcc'alon
distinctly holds , In opposition to Judge Max
well , that a proposition must receive more
than one-half of the votes cast for any can
didate at said election.

LINCOLN ? , Feb. 1C. ( Special Telegram. )
Governor Holcomb has at last determined I
take a hand In the settlement ot the stat
treasury affairs and hna In course of prepara
tlon a special message , wlvlch will be sen
to both houses of the legislature some da
this week , unless events now unfotesoe :
transpire to make any official reference t
the subject unnecessary. The .settlement be
twc'en Treasurer 'Meservo ' and his prcdeccs
ser , J. S. Hartley , has hcen conduct'eil In
manner kno n only to thcee gentlemen them
selves. Neither the legislature nor the pub
lie has been taken Into confidence. Th
only statement that Treasurer Meservo ha
made In response to repeated Inquiries Is
that the settlement Is 'prcceeJIng satlsfac
tot-Jly , but with annoying slowness. He ha
simply vouchsafed the Information that tin
books In the treasurer's olllce have apnar
cntly been properly kept ; that there ha
been no evident jugglery with the funds
and that as far as can be ascertained n
money has been Illegally transferred fron
one fund to another. Ho has as yet mad
public no figures to show how much money
has been paid Into his hands by ex-Treasure
Dartley or by the depository banks.
Treasurer Mcscrvc's position has been wel
understood from the btxlnnlng ot hla ot
llclal term. That position Is based lira
upon one single purpose to obtain from tin
depository banks and from ex-Treasure
Hartley thd cash belonging to the state. In
the second place he has desired to secure
this cash without In nty way endangering
the commercial Interests of the state. He
assumed his office at a tlmu when somotblnh
akin to a panic pervaded the banking circle
of Nebraska. Ills predecessor , for reasons
best understood by himself , had allowed tin
general fund to accumulate until nearly $1 ,
000,000 lay Idle In the dcpcaltory banks. A
republican board of state ? officials had like
wise permitted the educational funds o
the state to accumulate. The Doard of Kdu
cational Lands and Funds had declined to
Invest this permanent school fund in general
oral fund warrants. Consequently the banks
of Nebraska held suspended the enormous
total of $1158,105 , which should have beet
available for Instant use.
When Treasurer Mcacrvo assumed th
duties of hU olllco on January 7 his pollcj
was unknown. Bank officials In Omaha
Lincoln , and In fact , In nearly every 1m
portant city and town In Nebraska wer" 01
the verge of a panic. The now state trcas
urer realized at once that any action \ipoi
his part which would Imply an Immediate ,
demand for all depository funds would have
closed two score or more of national niu
state banks. He chose to place the settlemen
of the depository accounts In abeyance untl
the supreme court could have 'an oppor
tunity to decide certain doubtful provisions
of the law. In the meantime he looked to
ils predcceMor for the transfer ot the funds
not tied up In the depository banks.
DISPOSITION OF ME FUNDS.
Now that the real condition of the stole
treasury settlement Is soon to be explained
: o the public , a little preliminary explana
tion as to the disposition of the state funds
under ex-Treasurer Hartley will .Serve to
enlighten the taxpayers as to the location
of the money. This information may be
best obtained from the following tabulated
statements , ttken from the report of ex-
Trcasi'rcr Hartley at the close of- the last
fiscal year. November 30 , 1S9G :

It must be borne In mind that these fig
ures are taken from the balances exhibited
on November 30 , 1898 , As a matter of fact ,
they were somewhat changed on January
, 1S97 , the last day of Treasurer Hartley's
term. The permanent school funds In UaU-
loy's hands had been reiluceci on Jantury 3 ,
by the purchase of the Saunders county
bonds , so that when Treasurer Mct-ervo took
possession the permansnt school fund
amounted to about $389,009 , Instead of $447-
037 , as shown by the books on November
30.
WHAT HAS RBEN HONK.
On the eve of his retirement
from office Mr. Hartley called In $300,000 of
outstanding warrants. Of this amount
Treasurer Mosorve. during the month of Jan
uary paid $125,000 , the balance being held
by the sinking fund. In addition ho has
called In general fund warrants to , the
amount of $200.000. Still further ho has paid
off the , December apportionment of the tem
porary school fund , amounting in round
numbiM's to $224,000. Ho will , as span as
the Intcrtot can be computed , call In the out
standing warrants on the several university
funds and un the Institute for thu feeble
minded fund. The Hoard ot Educational
Lands and Funds lias also anthorlzed the In
vestment ot 150,000 of the permanent school
fund In'oustanding ( general fund warrants.
As Eooil fis dirt amount Is expended a still

The senate theawent Into qommlttee of
the wliolo to . 'consider ' bills on the general
file with Conaway 'lu the chair. , The first
bill taken up. was senate fileNo. . 61 , by
Mr. Feltz of Keith , to compell Irrigation
companies or owners of Irrigating dltchca
to build and maintain bridges over the
same when sucli ditches traverse public
roads. Mr. Feltz destrod to have house roll
No. 37 , already passed by the house , sub
stituted for his new bill and the senate
so voted. It transpired , however , that
house roll No. 37 was still' in the hands
of the committee and was not therefore on
general file. Ohalrm&n Conaway held that
although the committee of the whole could
substitute the house for the senate bill , It
had no power to recommend the substi
tute for passage as long as It remained in
the possession of the standing committee
to which it had been referred. A parliamen
tary jangle ensued , which continued for an
hour. At the end of that time the com
mittee , as the only way out of Its en
tanglement , agreed to rise , report progress
and ask leaveto sit again.
The senate then , adjourned until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning in order to give the
members an opportunity to participate in
charter day exercises at the university.

Chairman Pollard explained In general the
committee's Idea of drafting a hill permit
ting the organization of districts to vote
bonds for sugar factories , the plan being
based upon the Wright Irrigation law. The
plan sonmcd to meet with general approval.
Mr. Utt advanced the Idea that some r a
trlctlon should bo placed on the number
of factories which should bo permitted
under this law , for the first few years ,
painting out the fact that If people became-
too enthusiastic factories would bo erected
before a sufficient number of practical men
could bo secured to operate them.
Mr. Fort also called the committee's at
tention to the necessity of limiting the
amount of bonds that could bo voted under
the proposed net. It Is probable that the
Ideas of the committee will ho embodied In

the gunners were giving ther ( exhibition
drill. A piece of the material used In mak
ing blank cartridges struck her full In the
right eye. The physlcan , to whoso office
she was taken , found in the eye a hard sub-
Btancc , like parafflne wax , which had seared
the delicate membrane of the eye.

forenoon In the oulce of the latter. Quito
a number of new bonds of state depositories
were examined and approved. At thej re
quest of the banks these bonds are not made
public by the board. Many banks advance
aa a reason for this that the knowledge that
they are state depositories reduces their busi
ness fully as much as deposits ot state money
Increase it. One bank In Omaha Is said
to have signed Treasurer Meserve's bond , but
absolutely refused to receive any deposit of
state money.

Information which may enable them to vole
right when the foot ball bill comes uj for
final passage. A fine game was played , re
sulting lu a score of G to 4 In favor of the
reds.
In the chapel yesterday morning an ob
ject lesson to show the relative sweetness
of the sugar from cane and from sugar beets
was given , which will carry moro weight
than a hundred statements. Small samples
of sugar were put up In envelopes and a
sample ot each kind given to the persons
In the chapel. Then tin- request was made
that each should write on a slip of paper
a guess 3 to which was beet and which
cane sugar. The envelopes had all been
numbered , so tlmt It wt-.s easy to got the
results tabulated. The votes were about
halt right and half wrong , Indicating verj
clearly the fact , which 'Is well known to
those who have Investigated the matter , that
the two sugar are exactly alike. No chemist ,
It was stated , would undertake to tell the
difference , even after a careful analysis.
The drill of the university battalion on
the campus was as great a success ns could
bo asked , the evolutions being gone through
In a creditable manner. The governor and
Ills staff received the cadets and expressed
themselves as greatly please , ! with tliolr
work.
UKGHEES ON CHAHTEH DAY.
The charter day exercises ended with the

the University Glee club sung some now
songs , twice responding to emphatic calls.

ceive their diplomas and degrees. It was
announced that the policy Is to be pursued
of maintaining the best ns well as the big
gest university possible , and that If either
was found impossible It .should not bo qual
ity that should be sacrificed.
Nearly all the state societies sent com
munications commending the action of the
regents in establishing the school of agricul
ture and the dairy schoool. A letter was
read from cx-Kegent Victor Hoaewator , ex
pressing regret that ho was unable to be
present.
Dr. Carter addressed the assemblage on
"Thoughts on University Work. " He said. In
substance :
The American people are clce.ply Inter
ested In education. Since the first it lias
been clearly seen that the existence of the
new states has been dependent upon the
education and enlightenment of the com
mon people. It Is easy for the eastern
cynic , for there are such , to smile at the
number of western colleges and universi
ties ; to dilate upon their crudities tuiil In
congruities ; to satirize certain o" them as
real estate speculations , but the f.ict Is .
patent to him who looks beneath the sur
face that limitations , self-denials , self-sac
rifices arid bitter disappointments nave been
cheerfully encountered and bravely en
dured In the faith that education in the !
west will , In the early part of the twentieth
century. If not before , be as broad and
thorough as It.now Is In any of 'be older
states. It was a part of the nrayer in > my
father's house , when I was a l > oy , tlmt this

great bulwark of liberty and pure govern

modest and refrain from saving- that '
though be was not a rich man , lie save at
least 10 per cent of his worth to help found

something of the obstacles which the prog
ress of such a superb university ns this has
mot and overcome , and our love Is founded
not only on kinship , but on great respect.
Every university le.uls toho recognition
of God. Universities do not spring Into
being as the spontaneous outgrowth of un
regulated activities , but .is tno result of
the observation of the graat Kcrvic-'S ren
dered by such Institutions. It is ausult
of the conviction that the acquisition mid

feeling that we. owe It to Ibo Htato and to
