Mr. Sterling's condition was regarded as
EO rl on a A young man with an uncommonly
robust physique , his friends thought that
Ills constitution was such as could withstand
even the dread typhoid fever. Gradually ,
however the fever mastered the patient , and
during the | nt week he was delirious a
greater portion of the time. Thursday he
uecined to rally , but toward night his condi
tion grew worse rapidly , and ho died yes
terday morning shortly after 4 o'clock
Although he had been a resident of Omaha
but little more than two years. Mr. Sterling
had won for hlnibclf a high place In the
confidence , the esteem ami the -fgard of
Omaha's best citizens. In railway circles , au

renown Promoted from the position of at

position In the higher walks of his profes

upleiiaui and upright manhood emkuied him
to ull with whom he had any business or pcr-

"Slnco ho assumed the direction of the

lovable qualities BS a nnn
"He came to this state from South Da
kota with an enviable reputation Within
a few mcmths past we had occasion to make
frequent visits together to his old homo
In the hearings of what arc known as the
South Dakota rate cases. I was charmed
to witness the affectionate greetings to Mr
Sterling from his old asboclates and friends
ID the state , where he had been a shaping ;
and controlling force It was of a character
to show not only respect for his attributes
but a deep affection for him "
Thomas M Orr of the Union Pacific's exec
utive department yesterday said "It Is
with the dccpiHt regret that 1 have learned
of the death of Mr Sterling We slu o Ir
the common regret that such a > oung , ac
tive , brilliant and noble man bhould bu
called upon to die just when It seemed that
ho had everything to live for"
Judge William I ) . Mcllugh sail "Ster
ling's Iocs to the community Is n great one
Ho was brilliant , and much was to be ex
pected of him "
James E. Kelby said "I don't know when
there has been a death In Omaha that
seemed so Bttd. Ho was such a splendid

Governor Holcomb came to Omaha ycb-

Treasurer Bartley to testify to what he
terms the real condition jot affairs In the
treasurer's olllee at the , close of Bartley s
first term , and incidentally to icfutc the
htatcrnenta made by Attorneys John C

the Knowledge the governor had of Hartley's
shortage at the beginning of the treasurer's
ttcond term Ho found , however , that the
attorneys In the case would eonbume the day
In arguing law points , and he returned to
Lincoln , subject to the call of Attorney
General Smyth.
The governor eald he did not think there
j would be any dllllculty in his securing an
I cpportunlty to go on the Etaucl , oven though
the couit had ruled that'the attorneys for
the defense could not offer testimony to
prove the assertions the/ made as to the

mcn H had been prepared ostensibly for the
purpobe of deceiving the public
PRAMED TO DECISIVE
"Por Instance , " said the governor , "they
give out the Impression that the money in
ill jiosltory banks and the liiunoy on hand was
all that was In the treasury at theclobo of
Hartley's first term Thli ia erroneous ami
undoubtedly framed tot deceive The supreme
premo court has decided } that the state
treasurer cannot lawfully deposit the school
funds In depository banks as depository
hanks In fact the Interpretation put upon
the depository law has been that It applies
only to what are called-current funds In Its
application Current funds are distinguished
from school or trust funds and the latte-r are-
cared for by the treasurer just as they have
been during the history of the stute.
"When Hartley be gan his second ter-n he
hud on deposit In depository banks about
$250.000 , exclusive of the sums tied u | . In In
solvent banks , which at tha * tlmo were the
Capital National at Lincoln and the Buffalo
County National at Kearney In addition to
that bo had about $250,000 on hand The at
torneys for the defense In this trial now seek
to show that that was all the money the
treasurer had In his possession , which Is not
true , lie also had between { 175,000 aod { 500-
000 In school funds which were not recorded
ab being deposited in depository banks This
money was deposited In banks of his ow"h
selection , regardless of whether they were de
pository bankn or otherwise. No one ex
pected the treasurer to keep all that money
in the vaults at hlo olllee. It never had been
done and Is not now done H would not be
safe. Thcbo funds were bolely In charge of
the treasurer as had been decided by the supreme
premo court "
The governor did not say In what shape
Bartley had this sum of school money , but
rather Implied that It was deposited In
various banks over the state He forcibly
reiterated his statement that there was no
shortage at the close of Hartley's first term ,
and that Hartley made no statement to him ,
either pcrbonally or by some one In his
ofllce , that ho was short It * his accounts
He felt confident that he would be able to
clear up the who'o queistlon If given an op
portunity to testify In the trial. If the
was denied him , he raid ho would make a
statement , giving the details , and furnish
It to the public

At the fire at the smelter Thursday after
noon It was stated that the water pressure
was bo slight that a stream could not be
forced to the top of a one-story building
City ofllcials who have since made an In

Is cJlled a "run-around " An eight-Inch
main runs through the ground , while run
ning around the grounds and connecting
with the water company's main lu a four-
Inch private main. The water company's
main has a valve that force > ) the water
through the four-iiK.'h main and also through
meters , that the smelter people may know
how much they use.
Las Thinsday , when the fire department
was called to the smelter the valve In the
water company's main was closed and all
of the water that was tnrown upon the fire
was that running through the four-Inch
main and through the smeller. After the
fire had been nearly extinguished one of the
smelter people thought of the closed valve
