Thlo Instruction Is the cause of the secretary's uneasiness.

Holcomb , Governor of Nebraska : Sir I have your telegram of this date Informing me that Judge Tlbbetta will bo In Omaha Friday to hear charges In the police com mission case and asking mo to bo ready. I have also had my attention called to the statement given out to the press from your office announcing that you were too much engaged with official duties to make the In quiry demanded by the charges filed by me salnst Police Commissioners Kobert 13. Leo lerdman , Jamco H. I'eabody and D. D. rcgory , that for this reason you Intended o delegate that duty to a referee , and that ou would require the parties tothe con- roversy to bear the expenses thus Incurred. I respectfully beg to bring to your notice lat part of section 168 of the act providing or the appointment and removal of pollco ommlseloners In cities of the metropolitan lass , which reads as follows : "Any citizen of the city may fllo with THE GOVEHNOR written charges against any commissioner he may deem guilty of mis conduct In office , and THE GOVERNOR ' shall within a reasonable time Investigate 'the same upon testimony to bo produced I1EFORE HIM and shall make such finding as to the truth or falrity of such charges ' as In HIS JUDGEMENT such testimony 'warrants , and in case such charges shall | ' the vacancy thus caused. THE GOV- 'EHNOR when pitting to Investigate ' 'charges preferred against a commissioner 'shall ' have full power and authority to compel the attendance of witnesses and the production of books and papers , and HE ' may hold such meeting at the most con- 'vcnlcnt place In the state for the purpose of such Investigation. " Your excellency Is respectfully reminded hat the law says nothing whatever of a earing on these charges through a substl- ute. On the contrary , It expressly Imposes POM the governor the duty to Investigate heso charges himself upon testimony to be iroduced before him ( not a referee ) , and to cmovo the Impeached commissioners In case ho testimony sustains the charges. When Ittlng to make such investigation the gov- rnor has the power to compel the attend- nco of witnesses and the production ot looks and papers. There la o authority ot aw by which the governor can delegate this power to a referee and no hearing by ofcrce can comply with the provisions of he law. If the governor of Nebraska is over- mrJened with official duties , It is much to 10 deplored. That , however , cannot relieve ilm of any duty imposed by law and his luty to make this Investigation personally s as Imperative as his duty to appoint the ommissloners or , for that matter , any other duty by law Imposed upon him. As to tho'taxing of the costs upon the nartlei3 to the controversy there Iti no war- ant of law by which thla penalty can bo nfllcted. There is no reason why any/pri vate citizen should be made to pay tbo fec.i of a referee ( especially when , the goverac-r s drawing a salary from the ctato treasury 'or performing the service ) simply because le , as a citizen has taken upon himself the mpleasant task of righting the wcongo In flicted upon the community through the"offi cial misconduct of your appointees. As well might the victim of robbers bo called upcn to pay the costs ot prosecuting the Timlnals. As well might the mover of an mpeachment resolution In the legislature 10 called on to pay out ol his own pocket * ho expense of the Impeachment trial. In view of the fact that you have a reticle of stenographers and clerks provided at the otate's expense , who are doubtless competent o attend to all the clerical work entailed iy this proceeding , and also am allowance for the contingentexpenses of your office , I see no reason why there should bo any qucs- lon raise J upon this point. If I may be permitted the suggestion , It . corns to mo that you fall altogether to realize the sevloutiices of the oltuatlon aud'- he gravity of the charges preferred before you. Cltlzena of Omaha are being nightly waylaid , slugged and robbed by criminals with whom your police authorities are ut- erly Incompetent to cope , The homes anl justness houses of this community are con stantly exposed to raldtf of burglars and at hlcvcs unmolested by the pollco officers. Strangers are regularly lured Into notorious dives and dens , there to bo swindled or crooks who despoil them , and If they com plain , the victims instead ot the crimlna's arrested and thrown Into Jail. Womiti afraid to venture on the street ? after dark and men who must be out at night arc a arming themselves for self protection. Every day's continuance of this state of affairs of simply adds to the already formidable list evils for which your police commissioners , through them you as their creator , arc held respciielblo by thepeople. . I therefore respectfully give notice that I not recognize the authority of any ref or substitute In the Impeachment pro- for beedlngs I have Instituted , but renew the request once made In my petition "that a time- and place be appointed when the gov ernor shall hear , at Omaha , testimony as to N. truth or falsity of these charges , sup ported by the accompanying affidavits , and ho will. It said chargeo are sustained all the evidence , at once remove the said Rob E. Leo Hordman , James H. Peabody and D. Gregory , from the office of police com. mlssloners of the city of Omaha , as required section 1GS ot the act authorizing their appotatment and removal. " VICTOR ROSEWATER. P. S.

AT THE HOTELS. Captain Charles O'Ccnncll of Grand En campment , Wyo. , Is In Omaha on his return from a visit to New York. Last summer Captain O'Connell , having heard of gold finds In southern Wyoming , went to the Grand Encampment river and found the ere 83 rich that ho laid out the toun site of Grand Encampment and started a town which has been attracting gold hunters from all parts of the country. Speaking of the mineral wealth of Wyoming , Captain O'Con nell paid : "There has formerly been a mis taken Idea that paying dirt and ore were to bo found only In Colorado and that with the Colorado boundary line the mineral belt stopped. Wyoming , In my opinion , Is richer In mineral than Colorado and Is practically undeveloped. U is a poor man's mining country. Claims that would bring a fabu lous prlco In Colorado can bo had in Wy6- mlng for almost nothing. The mineral belt extends through the entire width of Wyo ming and Is much like the mining district In Colorado and Montana ; In fact It Is a part of the rich mineral range which runs through New Mexico and on north Into Colorado , Wyoming and Montana. Rich finds have been made at Grand Encampment and then there arc other rich mines In the Sweitwater country which Is north of the Union Pacific. Grand Encampment Is about sixty miles south of Rawllns and can 1 > c reached by taking the Union Pacific to Raw llns and then south by stage. The town has more than 100. pqople In it now , and there would be more if there were any ac commodations for them. A , hotel and a great many business buildings arc In course of construction and It Is thought that there will bo 10,000 people _ in the camp before snow files. The belt along the Grand En campment liver which has been staked oft in claims BO far Is about twenty miles long and eight miles wide. The minerals found are chiefly gold and copper. Cobalt Is also found In paying quantities. This mineral is used In decorating dlehes with rich blue figures and has never fieen found anywhere else In America. It Is valuable , being worth about Jl.CO a pound. A stamp mill was set up in the camp last January nnd more mills will bo put in operation as soon as the ma terials can be secured. Four sawmills are working all the time getting out lumber and are not able to fill half their orders , eo great IK the demand for-lumber. Grauil En campment river Is used extensively for irri gating purposes and waters fine farming land that Is cultivated by a largo colony of Dunkards. Fruit and vegetables are cheap and living Is not expensive as It has brcu In other gold campa. The miners who have taken up claims are mostly from Cripple Creek and Leadvillc and they all think Grand Encampment richer < han any of the Colorado camps. " Prrxomil C. H.

GOOD REQUEST FOR RESIDENCE PROPERTY Inquiry for Dvxlrnlilc Sinnll for lloiiii'M HUM illcconio n I'on- turn of tluTriiilr llciilill IN ( iooil , The Omaha real ratato market has not been In as good condition for fovcral years au It Is at present. Buyers are beginning to inquire for properties of most all kinds. G cod cottages In drslmblo locations are meat In demand. The rlsu In rent , duo to a general crul revival i of business has , put people Into the n of buying. While tents were low It waa cheaper to rent than own property. At thlu time latit year , dealers In real estate ) say , ( hero uus absolutely no demand for any kind 1 of real estate , but now every diy bring buyers for residence property. Inquiries qulrli concerning farm lands are coming by thu hundred I from eastern people \vho are thinking of locating In Nebraska. There Is some demand for business buildings , and the scarcity of moderate-priced residence piopertlcs In good localities Is creating some naiket for city lota. All the real estate and rental agencies In ho city give the same report. Since last Kear the Improvement In real estate values MS been \ .very noticeable. They report that people have money now and do not drag along In paying their rent. One agency ha a 900 tenants on its list , and It reports that ho receipts i from thu properties under Its chart are tnlca ao great this year as they vcro in 1897. Out of this list ot 900 It baa tot a single delinquent tenant. This agency ias made an increase of from 10 to 20 per cent In rents , so It can be seen that a much greater number of houses Is rented than last rcar and the rents are paid more promptly. The only kind ot houwo for rent now are old houses that are out of repair and agencies turn away many prospective tentcro every day. It has been said by many persons that the ) cople who have come to Omaha recently lave come to stay only through the exposl- " lon. The rental agencies uro of a very dlf- "erent opinion. They always find out con siderable about applicants before renting to them , and are In a position to know the nature of the new conms. They say that inly a small per cent of the people who lave conic In during the last year arc .i.inslents. ' . .Maiy | of these people are re- .Ired farmers and people from smaller towns who have come hero because of superior ad- rantagrs. The exposition has doubtless been : lie means of attracting their attention to Jmaha , but they have not come here to stay 'or ono season only. Ono of the oldest real estate men In Omaha expressed himself as being confident that real estate values were fast getting back to vhcro they were ten years ago. He ejld urther that the exposition would add ma terially to property values , because the ex osition Is coming at n time when values are on the rise and cannot help but give them an additional lift. In Chicago the exposl- .lon came at a time when a great depression ivas threatening the country and the panic struck the boom which had been started by .ho exposition and made the fall in values tremendous. In Omaha there Is no boom , ho values are at bedrock and the real estate market is so essentially a buyer's market that It can bo reasonably expected that a gieat deal of caslprn money will bo in- cstcd.
