what has become of the birds. Where there
were at one time hundreds of them there arc
now only a very few. It Is thought they
have gone Into the country to feed In the

almost a nuisance and their disappearance Is

LINCOLN , Oct. 2. ( Special. ) Mrs. Myra
B. Olmstcad , the accountant employed by
the legislative Investigating committee to
Investigate and report upon the Mllford In
dustrial Home for Women , has filed her find.
Ings with the committee. The accountant
finds that there were practically no books
kept for a part of the period covered and
that In moat Instances she was compelled
to depend on the data obtained from the
auditor's and other state olllccs In verifying
her conclusions. The report cites one Instance -
stance In which a double payment ot one
claim of $110.05 , charged to onicl.il expenses ,
was made. This was during the Incumbency
of the first superintendent , Mrs. I'crky , since
deceased. The only explanation for the oc
currence which the accountant finds and for
the correctness of which she does not vouch
was that the warrant was first Issued on
the original voucher and afterward on the
duplicate. The report states that there has
been since ISS'J payment made on > account of
"olflclal and traveling expenses" amounting
to 1627.09 beyond the specific appropriations
of the legislature for these purposes. The
larger part of this excessive expenditure was
made from the cash account of the Institu
tion. This account. It Is explained , waa
made up from the board paid for children ,
the sale ot live stock and other articles from
the Institution. The report , In the opinion
of Mrs. Olmstead , shows that the women who
have been in charge have been faithful to
their duties and she thinks that in the In
stances In which they have not been , as
cited above , the state olllccrs who sanctioned
the unauthorized payments wcic more to
blame than the women themselves.

rate of 120 cases dally and the authorities
are working night and day In their efforts

Congressman John Dalzell of Pennsylvania
with his wife and son sailed for New York
today from Southampton on board the
steamer St. Louis , after passing several
weeks In England , Ireland and Fiance. Tea
a representative of the Associated Press he
said that unquestionably there would bo a
famine In Iieland. Mr. Dalzell added
"Indications of this can bo seen from the car
wlndons. liny stacks are floating In the
fields , the peasants are unspeakably wretched
and the country seems to be more miserable
every year. "
TAIMFF .FULFILLS . ITS MISSION.
Referring to the new United States tariff.
Congressman Dalzell said : "I have had very
llttlo opportunity to obseno the effects of thc
tariff , but 1 judge it Is fulfilling our
anticipations imd that it will give American
merchants , iranuf icturcra and workmen more
to do. 1 say iti'.a fiom thc fact tint all the
business men I have met In Europe are de
nouncing It and complaining that It has
lessened their business. This Is particularly
the case with the merchants of Paris , who
complain that their American trade has de
creased. "
, Truth prints a statement , said to emanate
from a prominent Spaniard , accounting for
the Cuban situation. Ho Is quoted as sayIng -
Ing that In Spain there is no such thing as
public opinion and that the government of
that country Is a mere struggle between a
number of professional politicians , and that
with very few exceptions these politicians
endeavor to feather their own nests. Cap
tain General Weyler Is credited with having
amassed a fortune in the Philippine Islands ,
and he Is said by the Spaniard referred tote
to have Increased It In Cuba. Ho has had to
divide with a good many politicians at
home. The Spanish army Is pronounced to
bo as rotten as the Spanish civil service
system , and still , according to Truth's In
formant , when a Spaniard regiment Is eent
to attack > a force of Insurgents , the Spanish
commander sends an emissary with a purse
who makes arrangements which provide
that while the Spaniards march one way
the Insurgents go away by another route.
The British public seems to be convinced
that Americans are trying to lead Great
Britain Into a trap by Including Russia and
Japan among the participators In the Ber

and government officials are fostering this
Idea. Not only was the letter of the United
States ambassador of July 29 excluded from
the Blue book on the Bering sea question ,
but , with two exceptions , the newspapers
did not publish Colonel Hay's letter when It
was furnished to them by Renter's Tele
gram company , and not one of them has
commented upon It.
BLUSTERS AT THE YANKEE.
The comments of the Globe end Vanity
Fair on the situation are especially offensive.
Vanity Fair says : "It looks as If wo must

ceases gunpowder may have to bo used.
We hope the matter will be settled , as we
do not want to see the United States put
back many years , nor are wo anxious to
make htotory for them. " Vanity Fair fur
ther consoles Itself with the belief that "The
eagle's voice Is far stronger than Its beak
and bigger than Its courage. "

With many people In Omaha and th
whole west the Idea Is prevalent that lr.
Shepard and his associates treat catarrhal
diseases only. This Is n mistake. While
catarrh , with Its complications and exten
sions , U given upecUl attention , other dis
eases are successfully treated. Among
these arc , prominently , rupture , piles , deaf
ness and diseases of women. The Shcp-
ard method ot treating these afflictions
will be explained fully , without charge , to
all Inquirers , cither personally or by letter.
Old methods and old prices have been dis
carded. Those who are looking for up-to-
date treatment tor any rJironlc malady are
