The cadets have rcason to thtnk that tht3

War department. They renfizo that the
next move of the prcacnt popocratk state

student organtzntton , In ortfrr that the
T3ryfn regiment may ho substituted In the

1 _ tions of the governor arc to stand on his
ttuthority to appoint the officers ot the regi-

omo who arc totetested In the c.Thtro-
crsy believe that the War department. wilt

the offIcers o Cuivcrs cavalry troop. It
was the evident Intention of the governor
to name the omccrs of this troop anO be
did not disgulso his astonishment and clia-
grin when ho found that the War department -
mont had attended to the appointments
_ 1 ttsclt.
'ii In regard to the command of the new
regiment it Is conceded by all that Mr.
Urytn has no knowledge of military tnc-
t tics and affairs. On the other hand the
qualifications of Caitain Dudley are well
known. Captain Dudley came to the Uni-
vereitv of Nebraska In 187G and organized
the military department. Ho remained
hero four years and brought the deiart-
mont to a high state of efficiency. In 1884
ho was returned to the university and remained -
mained another four years , during which
time ho cstnhhIshd the heavy artillery
branch. It was largely through his efforts
and Instruction that the National Guard of
thb state was organized and equipped and
the oflico o adjutant general of the state
estabhisheti. } fls recommendations and Influence -
fluenco also had much to (10 with the grantIng -
Ing of the appropriation by the legislature
fez the building of the armory at the unt-
vorsity and for the present equipment of
the cadets. Captain Dudley has lately been
located at St. I'aul , occupying the position
Pt judge advocate of the regular army for
& . . ho Department , 'of Dakota , , , ttnd a4kas
lieutenant colonel on the staff corps.
1'IItICM ( lie , 'Oii1 tandnrd ,
Political standing is to rule the selection
of Bryan's regimental hand. The old Second
regiment band , which was organized at this
; place three years ago , and which dropped
out of the National Guard a month ago
and made room for the cstabhishm nt of the
hastings band , has been selected for the
place and will be mustered In it tbo organ-
izatioa can secure the necessary member- '
ship. The leader , It. L. Brpwno. s a promi-
neat worker In popocratic politics of this
city and has a pull with Bryan that cannot -
not ; be denied. Two years ago it was
the boaBt of Browne that with one lone
exception his band was made up entirely of
popocrats. It Is now his Jntcntion to build
up a now regimental band of the same
brand of poUties. The reason why the
I , - Brtwno band was anxious to drop out of
the Second regiment and is now just as
anxious to get Into the Third has not been
clearly explained , but it Is probable that
the suggestions of Mr. Bryan had something -
thing to do with the matter from the first.
Since the captain of the Stromsburg corn-
pan > ' acknowledges that his men declined
to enlist vith the Second regiment , and
went homo because of a promise that they
were to be recogniad in the new formation -
tion of the National Guard , it is quite pos-
siblq that the Urowne band made its chaugo
_ ' _ on the same sort of promise.
*
Another Instance of how men were in-
duceti to stay out of the First and Sec-
Dnd regiments in order that they might
be honored by positions in llrynn's regiment -
mont comes from Tecumseli. W. 11. Jen-
ninge , a young attorney of the popocratic
brand , came to this state from Virginia
twu years ago , and soon attracted the ( a-
vorablo attention of the flryan crowd. Jennings -
nings is now located at Tecumseh , and
when rompany I of tim Second was or-
ganize(1 Iii Jphn'son county five weeks ago
the roung Ylrginia orator was picked out
for one of the lieutenants. For some rca-
son that. was not apparent at that time he
a clincl the honor. Since then it is learned
that be has been promised a good place
in Bryan's new regiment. In order to iut
hilineef in shape to accept the new posh-
tion Jennings caiiie up to Lincoln Men-
day night and enlisted in company A , although -
though before his arrival hero it was announced -
nounced that the company was full.

NEBRASKA CITY , Neb. , May 26'-Spe- (
cial Tclegrnm.-Tho ) case of ( ho state
against William Ebright , 'who is charged
with obtaining state warrants under false
pretenses while acting' in the cc"icity of
superintendent of the . the
Blind in this city , was called thi1ionlng
( or trial in the county court. Jud'ge M. L.
hayward , acting county attorney , and \V.
C. Sloan appeared ( or the state. Senator
0. A. Murphy of 'I3eatrice , John C. Watson
and John \V Dixon of this city represented
the defendant ,
Senator Otto Mutz of the legislative In-
vcstigating committee , who worked up the
case againBt Ebright , was present and came
In for a severe scoring by Judge Hayward
on account of having made some uncorn-
plimentary remarks about the manner in
which County Attorney Jensen had con.
ducted the case.
The defendant's attorney flied a motion
to dismiss the case for the reasons :
First-That ( lie complaint does not charge
any offense.
Second-That the section of the statute
under which the complaint is drawn Is ii-
legal antI void.
Third-That the venue is improperly Laid ,
Fourth-No offense was committed in
this county ,
- Fifth-That no crime Is chnrgqd and that
eighteen montm iassed after ( ho offense
is ali ged o have b en coinmittett before
( ho complaint was flied ,
The attorneys spent nearly all ( lay argu.
lng this motion , Late this afternoon Judge
Joyce rendered a ( lecision sustaining it and
dismissed the case. Senator Mutz , cbs-
'grlned and crestfallen over ( ho outcome of
( he case , left for Linqolu this evening.

NEBRASKA CITY , Neb , , May 26.-Spe. (
clal.-Ono of the greatest farces of ( ho
day occurred here today in which it was
shown that the Populist investigating corn-
mitteo has hoodwinked the taxpayers of the
state of the nice cooi sum of $10,000. The
event which took place today was the means
of clearly vindicating William Ebright ,
former superintendent of the State Jnsituto ;
for the Blind , of the charge of misapproprla-
tion of funds.
Senator liluts , chairman of the state investigating -
vestigating committee , sometime ago , was
here for the purpose of examining Mr.
Ebright's books. lie claimed that there was
a shortage of $3,000 , and that it was on
warrants obtained from the Hoard of Pub-
lie Lands and Buildings by false pretenses ,
and ho bad Mr , Ebright arrested , charged
with this crime. The preliminary trial was
held today in the court house and heard
before , County Judge Joyce. The defend-
ant's counsel , Senator George A. Murphy of
Beatrice , moved that the information con-
tamed in the charge be quashed. This was
done , the case dismissed and ( ho defendant
discharged , the court holding that the see-
tion of the criminal code uneer which tbo
fendant was prpseiuted was unconstitu-
tional. '
The court macni was packed and as soon
as the judge gave his decision there was a
rush to Mr. Ebright by his friends to shake
his hands and offer congratulations. The
state produced no evidence , although it' had
ample time to uncrtake to , and all this
goes to show that it , was. merely a political
farce from it inception. , Couhty Attorney
Jensen went off to war a few weeks ago
and left Judge Hayward to Prosecute the
case. Mr. hayward notified ( lie county
judge that ho would not do so , and then
Attorney General Smyth was notified of the
same.
Senator Muta appeared here this morning
without an attorney and In an attempt to
get Judge Haywardto act as such , the con-
ycreation taking place over the telephone ,
- quite a heated argument took place , which
was followed by the appearance of Judge
Hayward at the court room. lie roundly
scored , Mutz , calling hhn a scoundrel and
- saying that ho would not help filch the
state out of that ; iooop being used in far-
I cical investigations. Thq outcome of ( ho
I matter was the securing of Judge Sloan
I for plaintiff's counsel , Mr. hayward paying
' the cost , out of his own pocket.
Senator Mutz was tile most chagrined
I man ever seen after ( lie court's decision.
Ho looked as though ho would have taken
a 10-cent piece for himself. He saw his
i
I chances ( or a far-famed name go up In the
atmosphere. Of all the investIgations made
I in the accounts of republican ox-state of-
I ficials , ( lila was the flrpt to be brought to
trial , and the outcome shows ( lie neat sum
of. $10,000 expended solely to give 000 or
two poptilists a salary for doing nothing.
Senator Mutz was inhiating a congressional
balloon to succeed Greene , but he has seen
( lie bubble burst.
