LINCOLN , May 4. ( Special. ) The trouble
at the Institute for Feeble Minded Youth U
not yet over. In fact , miuiy think it is only
Just beginning. The resignation of Dr. Fall
linn not been received , and at last accounts
the superintendent ot the Institution was
(4. ( adhering to hl resolution to resist the ac
< } ( tion of the board In asking for his discharge.
Today one member of the board stated that
the attorney general had guaranteed to
* have the resignation forthcoming by tomorrow
8 tlr
morrow , but so far Mr. Smyth has not
made public the arguments ho will use In
Retting the desired document. In the mean
time Dr. Fall Is doing hla best to prevent
the appointment of Mr. Sheridan to any po
sition In the future by making oomocry
Bcntntlonnl chaigca against the Into steward.
The legislative Investigating committee held
B IOI/K / conference today , and as a result
Bonalor Mut7. chairman of the board , and
Secretary Silver leave tonight for Beatrice ,
whore they will make a scaichlug Investlga-
tloiof the affairs of the Institution. While
not admitting that the Investigation wan
because of the tioublu down there between
the odlcers , the chairman says that his com-
inlUco ilcptnn It a veiy timely move to look
caicfully Into the financial management of
the Institution.
ANOTHER "CLERICAL HLUNDER. "
The 1)111 providing for the appointment
of a state printing cxpeit can led with It
no appropriation for the salary of such ofll-
cer , and In the last holirn of the session
the confcicnco committee Inserted In the
1)111 ) appropriating $12,500 for state printing
thuwords "and for such clerical help as
shall he necessary , " the Intention being to
thus provide a way for the payment of a
salary to the expert. The house enrolling
committee , at whoso hando so many other
crrori were made , Uft these words out of the
enrolled copy , and the bill as signed by the
goveinor provides no way for the expert
to draw pcy. It Is the opinion among the
state offlceis and attorneys whoio attention
) ias been called to the matter that the In
tentions ot the legislature should rule In
this , and that the cxpcit can legally bo paid
out of this appropriation Senator Ransom
in dlHcusoliig the matter today , said It would
uo dllllcult now to tell just what action
the legislature took on any measure until
the employe ? have been called upon to tes
tify , the bills as sent to the secretary of
state being In such very bad shape.
11. U. II.Yber. . ( superintendent of the
Girls' Industrial Homo at Geneva , has sent
n very good report to the Hoard of Public
Lands and Duildlngs. He nays that since he
took chaino of the Institution , March 1 ,
there has been u great Improvement In Its
condition and In the conduct of the girls
The old ofilccru had told him that they were
afraid the glrl.s would kill them , and the
glr's Innked Ilko they wore In the same fear
from Dm oHlc s. He now reports most of
the girls to be ot n pleasant disposition ,
dnd does not think there are to exceed five

ELGIN , Neb. , May 4. ( Special. ) Anson
Holslngton and Frank Poulk were lodged In
the county Jail last night In default of J 1,600
ball In each case , on the charge ot cattle
stealing , A preliminary examination wao
waived ,
For more than six months stock of all
kinds has been disappearing In this vicinity ,
the value of which would reach hundred * of
dollars. Sunday morning Ed Adams , living
ICQ miles west , missed a valuable cow , and
tracked her to Holslngton's slaughter house
> ards , but there all trace of the animal wan
lost for the tlmo being. A search warrant
was Issued and an Investigation of the prem
ises led to the discovery of two cleverly
concealed pits In one of which was found
hanging the carcasi of a cow freohly killed
and In the other the head and hide of the
animal owned by Mr. Adams.
Holslngton and Foulk went out to
Ed Adams' farm on Saturday aft
ernoon and bought eomo shoats. They
put In considerable tlmo at his
farm until It got very late , when
they left for home. Next morning Adams
missed his cow and In looking to sco where
she had got out ho found a pair of gloves
at the pastoro gate which ho recognized as
those of Foulk. He tracked the cow all
the way from his place to the elaughtcr
house here at Elgin. Ho found the tracks
of a man who had evidently led the cow most
of the way to town.
Whllo the search was going on Mr. Hols-
Ington said ho would have to go over to
Ncllgh and buy some dressed beef. When
ho returned In the afternoon ho was placed
under arrest. The searchers had thoroughly
searched the Ice house , barn and slaughter
hotiso and were about to give up when the
county attorney looked In a small apart
ment prepared for smoking hams. Ho got
down In the fire pit and there discovered
an opening dug back under the slaughter
house. Ho went In there and found the
head of the beef and hide which were at
once Identified by Adams as belonging to
his cow. Then the sheriff at once placed
FoUlk under arrest and when ho saw they
had found the head and hide ho told the
sheriff where to find the meat and took
them In the chicken house and raised some
loose boards In the lloor which had straw
scattered over them. There they found a
complete underground refrigerator , about
seven feet square and seven feet deep with
the dressed cow hanging la It. Foulk ad
mitted his complicity and further stated
there were others Implicated besides him
and Holstngton.
There has been numerous beeves stolen
near Elgin during this winter and ono -very
fine cow stolen from 'Mrs. ' Ingram , a widow
here In town , besides several fat hogs and
other small articles.
The hide of Mrs. Ingram'a cow was found
and she Identified the same and swore out
charges against Holslngton and Foulk. The
sheriff took them both to Nellgh to Jail
Sunday night and brought them back Mon
day morning for a preliminary hearing.
They waived the preliminary hearing and
In default of bonds were taken back to await
the next term of the district court , which
convenes In October.
Holslngton has a family- here and has long
been a resident nnd his family Is heart
broken over the disgrace. The man Foulk
Is a tramp butcher Holslngtoa picked up
laot winter and Is a very hard looking fel
low. He laughs and says the people will
bo further surprised when ho tells all ho
knows. It Is the opinion of some that
Holslngton Is Innocent and had no knowl
edge of tUo crime.

found guilty and sentenced to Imprlnon-
mcnt for life.

gument for the state. The Jury retired at
5:30 : , attcr the court had given the Instruc
tions , and at 7:30 : 1 > . m. returned and an
nounced that they had agreed upon a ver
dict. The prisoner and his attorneys were
hastily summoned and aa the Jury filed Into
their box , an ominous eltcnce prevailed
through the entire court room. The Jury
was polled and all answered to their names.
When asked If they had agreed upon a ver
dict , the foreman replied In the affirmative
and the verdict was handed up to the clerk ,
who proceeded to read :

his natural life. S. J. 1JCAL , Foreman.
Whllo the verdict was being read the
prisoner bore himself with the same r > elf-
composure that has characterized his ac
tions throughout the trial. The verdict
meets wUh almost unanimous approval , as
the opinion of those who heard the evidence
was that the counsel for the state had made
a strong case against the doctor.
A motion will be made for a new trial ,
notwithstanding the statement In the ar
gument of the defense that the defendant
had been accorded a fair and Impartial
trial.
The court room has been literally packed

Regardless of the high price at which cattle
are being held In the eastern portion ot this
state and In Minnesota , quite a number are
coming In hero cither to bo disposed ot to
ranchers or to be placed on the ranges by
those shipping them In. Within the past
three days about 1,500 head have reached
hero , ami a number ot others are on the

of these ore young steers. 3 curlings and 2-
ycar-olds , but someof the ranchers arc ship
ping In cons to take the places ot looses ol
the u Inter. Yearlings shipped In are bald
at nbout $17 per head nnd so far there have
been but few sales at that price. The hlghcsl

price. Ono stockman who recently made a

figure. Ho rcpoits them very scarce even at
that price. Another purchaser who started
out to gather up 1,200 head to bring In hero
was obliged to bo satisfied with COO head ,
which was all he could sccurv , and he was
compelled to pay a good price to secure even
that number. This fact of scarcity of stock
holds good on the southern latigcs , from
which ranchers of this section recruit their
herds e\cry jear , as well as In the farming
section east of here , and there Is no disput
ing the fact that cattle are hard to secure
ami the shortage la more serious than tor
years. This shortage makes a higher range
of prices for se\oral jearu almost a certainty
as the demand will
exceed the Mipply e\cn
for feeders and grazlug purposes , let alone
the demand for beef.

Trip publication of the laws pasicd by the
populist legislature that recently adjourned
shows that a number of IRWS have been
stolen and others doctored by populist of
ficers and clerks. The bill requiring the
w Ifo's signature to chattel mortgages cannot
tie found , although It parsed both bonsai
nut the Greatest scandal that the populists
[ iroduced was the surreptitious doctoring of
.ho ' oil Inspection bill. The bill was Intended
to make It unlawful to sell oils that were
rejected. Hut on omission of two letters In
Lho word "unlawful" made It read "lawful. "
The clause that was doctored reads as fol
lows : "But If such oils so tested shall not
meet said requirements the words 'rejected
for Illuminating purposes' shall be marked
In plain letters upon the package , barrel or
cask containing them and It shall be law
ful for the owner or owners thereof to sell
them for Illuminating purposes for consump
tion In this state. " This makes oil Inspection
a farce and all grades of oil can bo sold for
Illuminating purposes. It Is supposed by
many thit It will render the whole act void
and cut oft the fees of II. E. Dowdcll , the
oil Inspector recently appointed by Governor
Lee.
