The bondsmen of defaulting ex-Stato
treasurer Joseph S. Hartley and the sovcr-
clsn state of Nebiuska are now fairly pitted
against each other In the legal aicna of the
district court for the big stoke of over half
a million dollars , the amount of Hartley's do
fncatlon | , for the embezzlement of a portion
of which the latter Is now under sentence
toecrve twenty years In the state penitentiary
and to ( my a fine of { 303,768.
The trial of this big and well-known civil
suit was begun before Judge 1'owcll yciter-
ilay. It ww Instituted at the last term
of Iho < Mti let court by the State against
Da'rtley's bondsmen to recover the amount ( it
the lattcr'g defalcation , which In exact figures
la placed at $5Gt > ,790.G6. together with Interest
from January 7 , 1897 , the date ou which
Hartley should have accounted for the money.
There Is an expectancy that the trial will
to a long one. There Is uo doubt that every
legal point uu which either side can expect
to gain ail advantage will bo closely fought.
Time will probably cut little figure. Au
indication was given of this at yester
day's scmlotl when the state cross-examine. !

Two hours were spent In going Into past.

ATroiiNKYo IN run CASE. -
TUe legal conflict la to be ( ought out by
qulto an array of talent. The state's Inter
ests will bo looked after by Attorney tlonor.il
Smyth and Deputy Smith. A half dozen
lawyers are conducting the defense. General
Cowln Is leading counsel. John H. Ames of
Lincoln Is looking after his own interests ;
Mary Fitzgerald and Ed FlUgerald of Lin
coln are represented by J mes Manahan of
the same city : o. C. McNIsh of Wlsner Is
rpj > r < > eiiu'd by E. M. Bartlett ; n , E. Hrown
of Lincoln Is representing himself ; William
A , Pnxton Is represented by Framk Ransom.
Thomas Swobe , Cadet Taylor and Nathan S.
Marwood , the other bondsmen , apparently
have no special counsel. Of these three Tay
lor was In court.
Before the Jury was called Into the court
room Attoniey General Smyth requested that
the jury bu kept In the custody of a bailiff
during the entire trial. Judge Powell would
not agree to this until the trial had made
eomo headway at least , particularly as the
defense announced that It would desire that.
the trial would bo delayed over Saturday and
ono day next week on account of other busi
ness. Several other preliminaries to the
battle , but of a technical nature , were dis
posed of before the available fifty-eight Jurors
were called Into court.
SI2CUIUXQ THE JURY.
The firu 'welvo men called Into the bo' *
and sworn were James Carroll , South Omaha ;
AVIIIIam D. Grant , Thirtieth street and Llml-
eay avenue ; J , T. Patch , Twenty-second and
JIandersSn streets ; Gus Falk , Twenty-eighth
aud Caes streets ; L. J. Howard , Maple street ;
Andrew J. AVollander , 1210 Dadgo street ;
Hiram H. Bates , Twenty-ninth street !
and Fowler avenue ; JohnW. . Fox ,
817 North Eighteenth street ; Jame C.I
Pierce. Drexel hotel ; David Bennett ,
853 North Twenty-sixth street ; Otto Sand
bars , Thirty-first and Cass streets , and
Charles Harrlck , Fourth and Bancroft
streets.
The Jurymen were closely and rigidly ex
amined by Assistant Attorney General
Smith , who carefully questioned them re
garding any acquaintanceship they might
liave with the ex-state treasurer , the bonds
men or the counsel In attendance. Almost
every one of the jurymen had read accounts
ol the case In the newspapers , 'uut , accord-
lug to their answers , none of them consid
ered themselves Incapable of sitting on the ]
Jury because of any opinions they had
formed.
By noon two of the twelve men first calleJ
\\ero excused from service for cause. One
of these was Divld Bennett , who was dis
missed on account of his aijc 64 year' ' . The
other was J. T. Patch , a lawyer , who said
that If there was any difference between the
Instructions giver by the court on law points
mid hU own conception regarding them he
would probably be guided by his own con
I victions. The Juryman was discharged over
lit * the objection of the defense.
In the pluccs of these two men George C.
Bonner end Hans Staikhani of Clontarf pre
cinct were called. Before the btate com
pleted Its examination of them the noon
adjournment was taken.
DJ3FKNSE EXAMINES JURORS.
At the afternoon session the last juror
cdllecl , George C. Bonn-ar , was e.scused on the
grounds of 111 health. Hans Lleber , a farmer
of Jefferson precinct , passed the examination
of the jStiito satisfactorily. The Jury box
was then filled ,
General Cowln questioned the Jurymen
particularly on the point whether the fact
of Bartluy'K conviction would in any way
convlji < ; c them that his bondsmen were liable
for the amount , of the shortage. A favorite
question H\KO \ was whether the juryman
could find for the defendants If uo testimony
were Introduced In the face of Hartley's con
viction. The object was to flml if the jury
men concluded from the fact that Hartley
wr.s convli'tC'l the knowledge being obtained
through repot ta In the newspapers and con
versations , that his bondsmen should be
called on to make good the shortage.
Htrnm II. HntCH might have formed an
opinion fioia newspapers , but he was confl-
dent that this would not affect his ver-
dint.
dint.John
John W. Fox was strong lu Ills belief that
tbe , luindsmmi should paj over the amount of
thu defalcation and ho was tlarefore oxcuted
for rattan.
Jamt'H C. Pierre had also formed
ail opinion from newspaper accounts of the
ft case , but UK It was dppnndent upon the- truth
'J or falsity of thn leports , ho believed that he
' would bo iiblo to render a fair verdict ,
THIS MAN HEAD TOO MUCH.
Hans Sturkhon stated that he bad ex
pressed an opinion that the bondsmen should
pay the defalcation , which opinion was based
,011 the nuwcpnprr and ether reports. The
defense Insisted that this statement was
sulllck'iit to excuse the Juror for caute. lu
answer. to question ! ! from the stute ,
lie it > ri > r , the Juror slated that hn
could render a veidlct on the evl-
donee lit the fnco of this opinion. The
defense contended that the juror would be
Influenced by the opinion even If ho tried
to do otherwise. The state Insisted that no
( nan's m I ml could , remain free from opinion
from his reading and that H was xufllclcnt
for his competency If he laid aalde that
opinion The matter was dlscunsed for some
time. Judge Powell excused the Juror , fiay-
Ing that ho-might accept him as n competent
Juror under the strict letter of the statutes ,
but that ho preferred one less biased.
Of all the jurors Hans Llebcr , A farmer of
Jefferson precinct and a twenty-five-year
resident , presented the most promising con
dition , In spltr of the fact that ho has dib
bled In politics and has been a delegate tea
a county convention In the last two years ,
ho had never heard of Hartley's embezzle
ment , the criminal prosecution or the civil
suit , and In fact did not know who Hartley
was , although ho has heard the name men
tioned somewhere.
In the place of the excused Jurors J. M.
Gooldborough of Thirteenth and Ohio streets
nnd A. J. Hortlott of Waterloo were called.
The former was excused because ho had
moved from the city last fall and had re
turned last April , since which time the six
months' residence required ot a Juror had
not pawed. The other pateed the examina
tion of both the state and defense.
FILL THE JUIIY BOX.
He-man Tangeman of South Omaha , a
one-time policeman of that city , was called
and as no reason could bo found for excusing
him , the jury box was again filled ,
'Ihrc'p tH-emptory ) challenges are allowed
each parly In a civil suit. The state tucd Us
first In excusing Otto Sandberg , who U em
ployed as a porter In the Nebraska National
bank , and was therefore pofsibly believed to
have some # ympathlcs for the bankers who
are defendants.
E. H. Mcyo's , an Insurance agent of Waterloo
lee , was called In Ills place , but was exrutod
becaUku he had a case pending In the pres
ent term of court. The point was raised by
the defense because the juror said he
thought bondsmen should be held liable for
a shortage.
George Graham of 401 North Fifteenth
street was summoned , but was excused be
cause he has served on a Jury In the last
two years. In his place AVIIIIam Parrott of
2U03 Fu'.nam street was called and gave no
caubc for being excused.
Hans Llebcr , the man who had uuver heard
ot the case , was excused by the defense on
Its first peremptory challenge. George K.
West of Twenty-second and Seward streets
was called , but was excused after another
argument , because ho had an opinion that
thu' bcndsmen should be he.d liable. William
Jensen of McArdle precinct was summoned ,
but he was cxcus-eJ for the tame cause. Ills
successor was Robert R. Strong of Forty-
second and Lake streets , but he also was
excused for the same reason. Roy Garvlti ,
tho-.unxt juror , proved to be without opinion
and theretore-Kunalned.
It being 5 o'clock , "aojuurnmont. waa taken
to fl:30 : o'clock this morning. The jury was
taken In charge for the night by the bailiff.
The result of the day's wo-k 1 that eight
of the twelve men who will try the catc
have been selected. Only fcur of the Juror. ?
now on the Jury can be removed by the two
peremptory challenges both sides have re
maining. To secure the jury twenty-five
men have been so far examined. It Is al
most certain that the jury will be com
pleted before noon today.

The irgrcgatlon of the lost branch of the
Jnlon Pacific from the parent road will oc-
: ur today , October 1 , after which date
ho stretch ot railroad running through the
northeastern part ot Kansas In an east ami
west direction for a distance of 166 miles ,
which has been known Us the Kansas Ccnrtal
jrancli of the Union Pacific since Its con
struction and which has always been oper
ated from the headquarters of the Union
Pacific railway In this city , will bo known
as the Leavcnworth. Kansas & Western
railroad. The headquarters of the Inde
pendent railroad will be located at Leaven-
worth.
U U believed that At L. Williams , eeq. , of
Topeka , Kan. , will be the president of the
line after Its segregation. For a number of
years he has been a prominent lawyer In
[ he capital city of Kansas acid has been
closely identified with Union Pacific affairs.
At Union Pacific headquarters It Is regarded
as reasonably certain that J. O. Brlnkerhoff ,
now general superintendent of the Union
Pacific's Kansas division , will be the general
manager of the line after Its segregation. Ho
Is at present located at Kansas City , but will
remove his offices to Leavenworth. W. S.
Baslnger of Kansas City will be the general
freight agent of the line. A letter was re
ceived from him In Omaha yesterday ,
announc'ag his appointment. At present ho
Is the chief claim clerk of the Union Pacific's
freight department In Kansas City and has
held that position wlih credit for a number
of years. The auditor of the new road will
be William K. Reid of this city , for a number
of years conuected with the Ualon Pacific's
auditing department here. He Is ono of the
prominent figures In the Union Pacific Wheel
club , and is favorably known about the city.
No annauncempnt of a general passenger
agr-nt has yet been made , and until his ap
pointment the passenger affairs of the road
will probably continue to be directed from
the Union Pacific headquarters In this city.

A novel suggestion In connection with the
Forestry exhibit at the exposition has been
made by Editor Bookman ot the Pacific Lum
ber Trade Journal , published at Seattle.
Ho suggests that-.ln order to make o , proper
display of Washington's timber resources
a leg containing 10.000 feet , banid measure ,
be shipped to Omaha and. be left on board the
car In the grounds for some tlmo during the
exposition. On a certain day he > would have
It announced that the log will be converted
into a house. For this purpose It would be
necessary to secure the co-operation of some
of the numerous exhibits of saw mills In
operation. After the log Is iquared the slabs
could bo converted Into shingles and the
slllo , studding , siding , flooring and finishing
lumber for a story and a halt cottage could
all be sawed from the big log , dressed In
the planing machine and put Into the houio.
Mr. Beckman also suggests that the saw
dust and orher refuse of the log could be
converted Into paper by norao of the pulp
mills on exhibition and made into wall paper
for the house. Ho further suggests that the
other Industries of the state might con
tribute toward the furnishing of the house ,
and a practical demonstration be thus made
of the resources of the state.
.IOIIXSTO.V GETS AN INJUNCTION.
Stops I 1'nynirnt of Minify ( o Frank

Edward Johnston has secured a temporary
Injunction from the district court restrain
ing Mayor Ensor and the city council of
South Omaha from paylig the claim of Frank
PIvonka for $1,800 us rental for offices in
the Plvouka block from February 1 , 1S9G , to
date.
In his application for the Injunction
Johnston sets out that the claim was
presented about two weeks ago and
Is about to bo allowed by the
mayor and the city council , when ,
aK a matter of fact , the city has never occu
pled the offices. It Is stated that the city
of South Omaha entered Into a lease for the
icntal of the offices on December 1 , 1892 ,
which expired , however , on December 1 ,
1895. Difficulty over the settlement of the
rent brought the matter Into court and as
a consequence It is alleged that PIvonka
was paid In full to February 1 , IS9G.
Johnston maintains that since the latter
date the offices have never .been occupied
by the city and that the city has not leased
trem. Ho therefore charges that If the
claim is allowed the money will bo unlaw
fully diverted from the public funds and
will form a donation , as no equivalent has
been received for It.

PUSHING EXPOSITION WORK
Display of Activity Which Is Encouraging
to the Public ,
HUNDREDS OF MEN ARE BEING EMPLOYED

nnil Sinn Worker * Follow
, the
People who visit the exposition ftrounds
ilurlng worklns hours now-n-day * sco a dU-
ploy of activity which removes any linger
ing suspicion that the work la not being
pushed along. The Mines and Mining bulldr
Ing presents the busiest scene of any place
on the grounds. About sixty carpcnto'a and
about half as many laborers arc employed on
this building and every man Is working as
though his job depended on the amount of
work ho did. As a result , a good shotting
has been made. All of the joists have been
put In place and about two-thirds of the floorIng -
Ing had been laid at noon today , The floor
ing Is two-Inch material , four Inches wide * ,
and tongued and grooved. It Is being laid
In a workmanlike manner and at a iaild ( rate.
fho work of rearing the superstructure will
be commenced as soon as the floor Is com
pleted , the material being all at hand. As
the woik advances more men will be em
ployed until nearly 300 men will bo engaged
on this one building.
The dome of the Manufactures building
has been nearly completed and the frame
work of the building Is being rapidly put ui > .
A gang of men are at work laying the floor
and have this branch of the work well ad
vanced. The floor joists are nearly all In
p'aco and the flooring Is being laid. This
flooring Is the same as that In tlio Mines
building and when It Is finished the work
will be greatly expedited. Contractor Streh-
low Is still being hampered by the failure
of some of his big timbers to arrive , but he
la working on those portions of the building
where UICEO timbers ai-a not required.
The plica for the Machinery building ore
slow In arriving and Contractor Hamilton
Is being delayed In consequence. The piles
are being driven as fast as received.
Considerable difficulty Is being experienced
lu getting a sufficient number of piles for
use on the exposition grounds. Such a
large number of these are required that the
available supply near the city has been about
exhausted , and as the distance from the
city Increases the time nccesssary to secure
the Htlcks Increases at a rapid rate. This
fact threatens to Interfere seriously with
the buildings for which the piles have not
already been secured , Including the Ma-
eiiinpry , Agriculture , Liberal Arts and Fine
Arts.
FILLING THIS LAGOON.
The lagoon la rapidly assuming the ap
pearance of a genuine lake. The bottom Is
completely coveied from the extreme west
end lo a point east of Twentieth street , being
a little over half of the whole lagoon. Lit
tle rivulets extend to the extreme east end
of the lagoon , and It will be but a few dajs
when the entire bottom of the canal will
bo covered with water. The sparkling fluid
Is flowing Into the lake from three pipes
located at different points and the steady
flow from these comparatively small pipes
Is having a very perceptible effect.
The ditch for the water main on the grounds
has been completed along the south side of
the main court from Twenty-fourth to Twen
tieth street and a good start has been made
all along the line from Twentieth to Sixteenth
street. This ditch will bo completed by to
morrow noon and the work of laying the plv'c
will be commenced at once. When this Is
done water will be turned Into the lagoon
from a larger pipe and a few days \ \ 111 see
a marked change In the appearance of the big
ba in.
The railway crossing on Sherman monue
has been completed at the couth side of the
main court and men arc extending the track
to the western end of the main court. This
work will bs completed tonight and the col's
containing the water pipe will be switched
onto this track and unloaded alongside the
ditch prepared to receive It.
The Intersection at Sherman avem e at the
north line of the main court Is all ready to
put In place and the work of putting it In
was commenced yesterday. As soon as the
track Is completed on the south tide of the
main court the gang of track layeis will be
transferred to the north side cod this track
will bo completed by the last of the present
week , after which the carloads of lumber
for the big buildings will be switched to the
respective buildings and unloaded.
The Administration building Is being put
under roof and the staff workers are follow
ing the roofers closely with the ornamental
cornice which Is to decorate the loftv pinna
cles that crown the airy structure. The high
cht pinnacle has been completely covered
with the roofing material to be used on all
the buildings , a new material known as
rubbcrold. having a surface which glitters
like diver In the sun , the millions of minute
particles of mica with which the entire sur
face is covered reflecting the rays of the
sun in countless numbers , and the dainty
little ornamental cornice joining the roof
and the lower portion of the lofty lantern
has been put In place. The finishing touches
to the building are being rapidly put on anil
within the next ten daja the building will
be practically completed.

Joseph II. Brlgham , assistant secretary of
agriculture and chairman of the Hoard of
Control of the Government building at the
Trdiismisslsslppl Exposition , passed through
Omaha on the Rock Island fast train yester
day afternoon. Mr. Hrlglmm had been In
Lincoln attending the Irrigation convention
and had Intended to stop In Omaha on Ills
way east and spend several days In rotumltu-
tlon with the officials of the exposition re
garding the government exhibit , after which
he hod Intended going direct to Nashville
to confer with his colleagues on the Hoard
of Control , A telegram summoning him to
Washington on Important business , how
ever , put an end to these plans and ac
counted for the fact that the assistant bee-
rotary stopped In Omaha less than an hour ,
all of which was spent at the depot ,
While waiting for his train to resume Its
flight eastward Mr. Ilrlgham talked freely
nbout the Transmlsslsslppl Exposition and
his connection with It. Ho frankly admitted
that his experience with exposition work
had been decldc'dly limited , but ho hud very
firm com lotions on some points In regard
to the connection of the government with
the affair. Leading among these convictions
was the thought that the government's ex
hibit must be made Interesting. He confessed
to a great Interest In the coming f > how and
said ho Intended doing everything In his
power to aid It In every way possible.
Among other things regarding the details
of the exhibit Mr , Ilrlgham said ho believed
an effort should bo made to make the gov
ernment's exhibit UH new and Interesting
an possible. He t > aid ho had noticed a great
deal of sameness about the display niado
by the government at former expositions and
expressed the opinion that this might ho
changed bulllclently to remove the suspicion
that the Identical objects weio displayed at
each exposition ,
Mr. Drigham stated that the meeting of
the Board of Control which had been ar
ranged for nt Nashville about October 4 had
been canceled , but ho gave no Indication of
when a meeting of the board would be
called , Ho expressed a strong desire , how-
evor. to have a conference with the exposi
tion officials , but did not bint at any partic
ular steps he should take lo bring about a
meeting. Ho slated , however , ( hat ho would
be In Nashville October 5 , and when in-
founod that October 8 had been designated
as Nebraska day and that a number of the
Tranumluiisiilppl Exposition officials would
probably bo In Nashville at that tlmo hu
remarked that a nuetlng might be had then.

A Walk Out
Yesterday all of the carpenters employed at The
Nebraska corner laid down their tools and walked out. This
was the first walk out that occurred , since the building began
to be erected. The men expressed themselves as being very
sorry indeed. The contractor also regretted the action of the
men , but cou'd ' not see any help for it , as he will be out of a
job himself in a few days. One of the men , being inter
viewed , said the only grievance he knew of was that there
were only four floors in the building. He wished there would
bs eighteen. As the carpenter work on the four lloors was
all finished , and as the pointers were waiting fora chance to
hang their little signs around , the carpentor-Hie'd an informal
conference and decided that they wou'd have to look for work
somewhere else. There was absolutely nothing else for them
to do The building is now in the hands of the painters ,
who are doing what they can to cover things up and make it
unpleasant for peop'e ' with nsw clothes. One of these days
the painters will be obliged to walk out , too. As soon as they
do , we will walk in. Aftet we get a foothold for ourselves
we will invite the public to come and see us. Wish them
painters weren't so all fired slow.
