NEW YORK , Dec. 11. Eugene A. Cash-

on dho charge of embezzling $25,000 from
persons In Nebraska. The arrest was rnadu
on a requisition from the governor of Ne
braska.
Cashman wae county treasurer of Greeley
county , Nebraska , three years ago. It Is
alleged that ho suddenly disappeared and
left a shortage In hlfi accounts of between
$25,000 and $30,000. It Is further alleged
that the cause , of his ( shortage was the
making of loans out of the county fundrt to
farmers at a high rate of Interest. The year
Cashman Is alleged to have disappeared tlie
crops failed and the farmers were unable to
repay the la > : cis. Cashman's bondsmen were
obliged to make the tihortago good , and > It Is
on thu procedure ot the bondsmoa that he
liaa been arrested. Caahinan has been in this
city ever since ho left Nebraska.
LINCOLN , Dec. 11. ( Special. ) News to
day of' the arrest ot Eugene P. Cashmcn in
New York on a requisition from Nebruska
on the charge of embezzlement brings to
light the fact 'that the requisition was Issued
In August on HIP application , of the county

This plan of treating catarrh In somewhat

The only ay te reduce this Inflammation

Gun Tablets is thus far so surprising that
It a wonder the plan was not tried years ago ,
I'hyslclans have all along contended tbit
coiurilutlonal treatment was tSo only way to

Finn , the officer designated to go after Cash-
man , came to Lincoln after the requisition
ho did not himself go < to tiio s'tate house for
fear he would bo recognized by some one and
the object of his errand be guessed. Cashman
was county treasurer of Greeley county , his
term ending January 5,1894 , and an elimina
tion of the affairs of the- office Brewed that
ho was short in his accounts. The 'indict
ment charges him with converting to his
own use about $34,000 belonging to Greeley
county. Cashman left the state on the 1st
ot April , 1894 , anj since then several at
tempts have been made to bring .Mm back ,
but without success. Lr.isl summer It was
ascertained from a letter wrlttcm by Cash
man to a Greeley county man that he was
In New York City and papers were at once
Issued 'With ' the view of bringing him back
to this state to answer for fais crlmo. In
tbo meantime his bondsmen have been sued
for the shortage andl < the case Is now pend
ing In the supreme court , Judgment having
been rendered against the bondsmen in the

CRETE , Neb. , Dec. 11. To the Editor of
The Bee : Since the death of the late
Thomas Doar.o of CharlestonMess. . , It has
become evident that there Is much miscon
ception ao to his will , especially In reference
to Us provision for Doano college.
In view of this I have been requested by
the trustees of the college to make a brief
statement of the main features of the will ,
a certified copy of which Is la my possession.
After the making of a few small bequests ,
the remainder of the property Is given In
trust to three executors and their successors
In ofllco until the time when no child shall
bo living and no grandchild under the age
of 21. at which tlmo It la to bo given to
Doano college as a permanent fund. In the
meantime the Income la to be used in the
payment of certain annuities of definite
amounts. The annuities to the children are
to be paid so long as they live and to their
children afterward until the expiration of
the trust ; to the other persons the annuities
arc to be paid during the life of the recipient.
If In any one year the income Is sufficient
to pay all the annuities of that year It Is to
bo used EO far as It will go , the annuities
being diminished proportionately. If the Income -
como In any ono year Is more than enough
to piy the annuities of that year the surplus
la to be paid to Doanc college for general
uses. If at any time any child , or grand
child , Is In any special need , the executors
are empowered to pay to such person an
much as may bo necessary to afford relief ,
drawing upon the principal , if need be , to
do so. The property la at present very
roughly estimated to bo worth about $100.000.
In all probability the Income will not be
sufficient to pay the annuities for several
years.
The college Is to be congratulated In hav
ing such a generous provision made for the
future , but It Is evident that It will bo a
long tlmo before much direct benefit will be
received from this bequest. In the near
future the need of contributions for current
expenses may be more urgent than hereto
fore , owing to the death of so wtrong a helper
as Mr. Doano. A. B. FAIRCHILD ,
Treasurer Doane College.
