LINCOLN. 9pl. C. ( Special. ) There arc
f nine Items In the appropriation book nt
ihe state hou.'o that the popocratle mnnai
g'T do not mention In their campaign clr-
i tilarz , for the simple reason that the tig-
ures from the records would refute many of
their wild campaign statements. Not the
least Interesting of these Items Is the shovIng -
Ing of the penitentiary account. The popo-
crals have , taken great credit to themsohes
beeaiiBo of the management of the penile n-
tlnry nnd have heralded the news from one
nil of the stutn to the other that "the ponl-
-ntlnry t Is self-sustaining. " The tetords ,
however , show that during the months of
July ami August the penitentiary manage
ment has drawn vouchers ngulnst 'he ' cn-
etal maintenance fund amounting to over
12,800 , and besides this there nre six other In-
cldcnt.il funds that the Institution Is diaw-
Ing upon. Thus , Instead of being aelf-si.s-
fnlnltiK , thu penitentiary Is running behind at
: ho rnte of nearly $ lr.OO per month , but
ihere Is no Indication that the poporratlc
ofllclals Intend to Inform thu voters of tie
true Htnto of affairs.
l > onom.v Ciiioln to tin. I'roiil.
The pretended economy of ihe last legis
lature Is making Itself
apparent on the ap
propriation hook. For Instame , the Sol
diers' Home nt Mllford only has $1.130 In
the maintenance and clothing fund to draw
upon In the next seven months nnd there Is
less than $300 left In the employe fund of
the same Institution. Many of the funds of
the vnrlous state Institutions nre. nltendy
drawn out very closely , the Items of tele'-
graph , telephone nnd express expenses bei
Ing CHpi daily well used up , and nt the
present clip there will be a large number
of deficiency claims before the next legls-
lature. The fund "provided for the care of
the cnpitol grounds is all gone but n few
dollars.
One of the places where the present state
ofllclals have made a "irca ( . saving" is In
regard to the appropriation for the mnln-
trnanrc of the Home for the Friendless.
Of the JC.OOO allowed for living expenses
only $1,150. ! ) , " , wns paid before the board
shut off payments to the Institution and
commenced lo "save money. " Only $1,061.70
was drawn from the $6.000 fund for em
ployes' wages nnd Jl 10.70 from the $1,000
fund for clothing and furniture. Another
great streak of economv wns supposed tp
have been struck nt the Institute for Feeble
Minded Youth at Hcatriee , where the salar
ies of the five teachers were cut down from
$50 per month to $10. It seems now that
thlH cut won made in order that some more
daughters of political favorites could be
employed as teachers. Shortly before the
reduction In wages wns made the number
of teachers wns Increased to seven. In
looking over the vouchers drawn by the
teachers nt thin Institution the remarkable
thrift of the Mutz family Is called to mind.
It will be remembered that right after the
Mutz smelling committee got through with
its work on the Institution , the name of
Miss Mamie Mutr. was placed on the pay
oil as one of the teachers. The honest In-
rcstlgntor did not desire to have his daugh
ter's nnmo on the vouchers lee soon after
he. went down to Heatrlce. so he arranged
r ciirlou's hubterfitge , which norf Jhd'ws up
on the books at tbe state hou.uThe
vouchers show that on November ! i Mnmic
Miilz drew p.ty for the month of October ;
that on Mny 1.1 she drew pay for September ,
nnd that on April r > of this year she drew
pay for the last half of the month of June ,
1S37. The books do not Indicate when the
Ralary for July of hist year wns drawn and
under the curious course of procedure It is
probable that the July voucher Is yet to be
presented. These back-acting vouchers are
all very cheerfully approved by thu "reform
officials. "
Sinylli KnvliiuMoney. .
The attorney general Is making rapid in
roads on the Item Qf traveling expenses
allowed his olllce. In spite of the fact that
he Is known to travel on passes continually.
he drew $23fi.ir > for traveling expenses last
year , and has taken $133 this year , his 1 i
deputies following his example In diminish
ing the fund. Another fund from which the
attorney general hns been uble lo draw
revenue during the last fourteen months has
i been the money allowed for the prosecution
of officials. Mr. Smyth has utilized this 1 '
"perquisite of olllce" to the extent of $254.40.
nnd his deputies have also taken their share
from the fund.
Another "saving" not mentioned In the
popocratlo circulars Is the house rent item. | ]
On August S > Governor Holcomb drew n 1 '
voucher ngalnst the house rent fund for
$100. and the voucher was signed and passed '
along by the other "reform oiQclals. " ThU
last draft makes a total of $710 that Oov-
ernor Holcomb has drawn in the past fif
teen months to pay his private house rent ,
but the "reform" circulars and spcechmakers
will avoid alt reference to this matter.

Governor 11. W. Kurnas hanging from
a stalk on his farm near Ilrown-
vllle n day or two ago. He sent
the ear to Hon. J. Sterling Morton of this
city , who now has H on exhibition. The.
only hypothesis upon which the phenomenon
can be explained Is that the grains of corn
became dry and heated to such n decree
during the recent period of hot weather
thut the "popping" process became pos-
slblo and the fitnrch cells of the corn ex-
plodcd outwardly from no other agency than
the sun's rays directly upon them.

The last week IIBH been dry and exceedIngly -
Ingly hot , with nn excess of sunshine.
The average dally temperature excess has j
been about 5 degrees In the western coun
ties and from 10 to 11 degrees In the east
ern. The dally maximum temperatures
were generally above HO degrees nnd in
many ( counties the dally maximum was
above 100 degrees on several days. |
The rainfall hns been below the normal ,
except In parts of Richardson and Clay
counties , where focal thunderstorms oc
curred with a Talnfall exceeding nn Inch In
small areas. In most of the state no rain
fell.
fell.The
The weather of the last week hns been
much like that of the two preceding weeks ,
but the long continued high temperature ,
with an almost entire absence of rain , has
caiiFed ihe results of this week's weather
to be more Injurious lo agricultural Inter
ests than that of the preceding weeks.
Corn has generally deteriorated In con
dition nnd even In the northern counties ,
where the rainfall has IK en sulMclcnt for
the corn crop previous lo the last wc k. the
corn Is reported as damaged somewhat dur
ing the fast weok. The amount of damage
In this section is variously estimated , some
placing it as high as 25 per cent and some
claiming little or no damage. Much of the
early-planted corn hns dried out so rapidly
that It Is hardened beyond Injury by frost.
Late-planted corn Is ripening prematurely
and will be a very short crop generally.
Corn has ripened so very rapidly during the
last three weeks that most of It will be
beyond Injury by frost In a week or ten
das.
The r.ist week has been favorable for
threshing and haymaking. The wild or
native grass Is being cut for hay quite
generally nnd the crop varies from fair 1o
good , but Is above the average In most
sections.
Little progress has been made In plowIng -
Ing the last week because of the dry condl-
tlon of tbe soil and for the same reason
very llttlu fall grain hns been sown. Fall
plowing Is well advanced , being generalfy
at least two-thirds done.
Pastures have dried out badly and In
some eastern counties stock In the pastures
Is furnished corn fodder or other green
food to supplement the pasture.

Nuiirriiic Court of South UnUotn Ken-
dor * nil Important Drclvlon.
PIKRRK. S. D. . Sept. . ( Special. )
Among the opinions handed down by the
supreme court at Its late sitting was ono
In which the validity of the peddler license
law passed nt the last session of the legis
lature j was passed upon. After citing the
not , which provides that each peddler or to-
licitor taking orders for groceries , clothing ,
hardware or other mercantile establishments
shall pay a license of not less than $73 nor
more than $125 , anil the further penalty of
a fine of not less than $25 , nor more than
$100 j for such failure , the court holds that
the law Is a violation of the Interstate ) com
merce act , as It attempts to regulate com
merce , between states , a function of the gov
ernment which Is granted to congress alone.
In support of this the court says :
"While the license tax la apparently Im
posed upon the tniYclliiK agent regardless of
the ' amount of business transacted , the Irre
sistible ' effect of tbe law ns applied to this
case Is to regulate commerce between states
by I compelling a Minneapolis llrm to pay In
Advance for the privilege of attempting to
procure customers In one of the counties of
the state. Decisions too numerous to Ju .tify
citation , holding that interstate and foreign
traffic It entirely exempt from such a tax ,
regardless of the melho.1 of Imposition , are
grounded upon the doctrine that a state
hns no power under the constitution to
burden such commerce either "by way of u
direct tax upon the subject matter or by
requiring the e engaged in the occupation
of soliciting orders therefor to be fulfilled
by some person residing within another
state , to pay a license for such privilege. "
"We find that commerce among the states
consists of traffic between their inhabitants
and Includes the purchase and sale of com
modities through the ngrney of persons em
ployed to solicit orders by the use of sam
ples , and the power to license nnd regulate
such business In congress exclusively. Our
conclusion , therefore , Is that the enactment
under consideration , as applied by the court
below to plaintiff In judgment appealed frnm
Is reversed , with the direction that the
accused be discharged. "

old comrades get closer together tlinn on |
anv other occasion. I
There were demonstrations on the arrival [

mittee , the directors of the Audersonvllle

tlonnl corps nnd the natlonnl council were
In session today on routine business.
Onlcr of I'll rail r.
The parade of today was under the com
mand of Grand Marshal M. L. Hawkins ,
with Lieutenant Colonel George M. Finch
as chicf-of-staff. The first division wns
composed of ox-Prisoners of the War , the
Veteran Legion , Sons of Veterans , regi
mental organizations and survivors of the
Lopez -expedition to free Cuba. It w.is
commanded by General Fred W. Moore.
Following Ihls came the second division
commanded by Major Joseph L. Gaul , nnd
consisting of Eighth regiment United States
> oluntcer Infantry nnd loi'al companies of
cadets nnd boys' brigades , mostly bearing
arms. The parade required an hour or moi
to pass a given point and was everywhere
watched by crowds of deeply Interested
spectators.
The dramatic effect of the arrangement
of the divisions was the occasion for much
comment. First In honor came the veterans
of tint civil war , the men who manned the
vessels In our unique navy , and the thinner
rankH of the cx-priFoners of that war. The
spectators could not fall to he Impressed
with a Fad feeling that they were looking
upon a body of men whoo days of marcliltif ;
must soon end. Tottering limbs were bear
ing sturdy hearts , fuller than ever of love
for the flag whose glory had been magnified
by their deeds , but it was painfully apparent
that the ranks were thinning i > nd that their
deeds were soon to be only memories.
Thfii came the sturdy Midlers of today
and It happened that they were black sol
diers , the Eighth regiment. United States
volunteers , now In camp at Fort Thomas ,
commanded by Colonel Muggins. What a
contrast. Their full rnnkF , the vigor and
virility with which they kept step to the
enlivening music of their band ( if colored
musicians , their fine. Foldtcrly appearance ,
all spoke of the strength and fife of the
strong nation whocs defenders they arc.
The hiiectale was Inspiring nnd the effect
wns evidenced by roars nf cheering all
along the llni > of their march. This WUH
repented ns the boys of the city school ? the
younger hope of the country passed by
bearing arms. Coming first , however. In the
Second division , the colored troops carried
off the honors , and must have been thor
oughly pleased by the ic-cognltlon given
their soldierly hearing.
The contest for cointnando.r-in-chief
has become much more complicated by the
arrival of a largo delegation from New
York , headed by Corporal Tanner , In support
of Colonel John C. Sheets of Yonkers. This
not only divides the vote of the department
of New York asr-lnst Colonel A. D. Shaxv
of Watcrtown , N. Y. , but It also divides thu
vote of other eastern departments that
were expected to be solid for Shaw. While
Colonel J. A. Sexton of Chicago had only
one or two votes in the Illinois delegation
against him. he Is now losing tome support
by Ihe candidacy of Colonel Thomas Ander-
bon of Topeka , who IB getting western votes
that weie depended upon for Sexton and
who wns considered as a favorite in the
race as ihe only v.-cstorn candidate until
the Kansas man wns brought out. I. F.
Mack , the Ohio candidate for commander-
in-chief , Is embarrassed in his canvas bv
the fact that W. C. Johnson of Cincinnati
has fieen determined on as the man for
senior vlfc-cominnnder. nnd the two lead
ing offices arc not likely to go to the same
Ftate.
Commander W. R. Atkins hr.i heretofore
been considered as the loading cnndldntn
for rear admiral of the National Naval as
sociation , but he Is bavins a elope contest
with Commodore J. R. Foss for that posi
tion. The tontcsts for the new offices have
now become Quito animated union ; ; the '
women. |
A letter wus received today from Presi
dent McKinley stating that public business
would prevent him and Mrs. McKinley from I
attending the encampment this week. i
