LINCOLN , Sept. 17. ( Special ) The * "re
formers" nt the stuto house who nro posing
ns money savers and farmers' friends , and
vho have had printed on their olllclnl sta
tionery such mottoes us "Stand Up for Ne
braska , " "Stand Up for the Children of Ne
braska , " and other equally hypocritical saj-
Ings have boon detected practicing a decep
tion that stTlkes directly at the pockets of
every farmer In Nebraska It Is no more
nor less than the feeding of oleomargarine
nnd buttcrlne to the hefplcss wards of the
8tatc. This Imitation butter , that was de
clared confrnbanil by legislative enactment
In 1805 , Is being purchased of a packing fltm
nt Kansas City , and the price paid runs
from ti& to 12 > cents per pound. Thus , In
stead of patronizing the farmers , dairymen
nnd creameries of the state , the "money
eavers" at the state house send the money
outsldo the stuto and pay a cheap price for
an imitation article.
An examination of the vouchers filed In
( ho state auditor's ofllce shows that butter-
Ino was purchased quite generally for the
elate Institutions last year and that It con
tinues in favor up to the present date , al
though there Is no record that any of the
Btato officials and pretended "friends of the
common people" use It themselves , or that'
they called for It to bo served In the special
cars when they were out on their numerous
junketing trips. The state Institutions that
nro being served exclusively with Imitation
butter at the present time are the Institute
for Kcoblo Minded Youth at Deatrlce , the
Asyfuni for Incurable Insane at Hastings ,
the Industrial Homo for Hovs at Kenrney
nnd the Institute for the Ullnd at Nebraska
City , and It Is probable that all the other
Institutions nre getting the same kind of
butter , although the contracts do not seem
to 1)0 made directly with the Kansas City
manufacturer.
\U-tlniN Cnu'l Ivli-'c.
The last consignment that has been
bought , so far as the books shou , was on
September 12 , when the stnte , paid for 1,000
pounds of "special solid" butterlno for the
Hastings asylum , tlr price being 10 cents
per pound It Is the natural presumption
that the "special solid" ls fed to tbu Hast
ings Incurables because It la folly to feed
real butter to persons who never can be
come Independent citizens and voters , that
the blind children at Nebraska City are
not expected to bp able to detect the fraud ,
even though the butterino bo colored pink ,
us Is required In some states , and that the
fecblo minded children at Beatrice are en
titled to nothing better. It Is also said
that the youths who are kept at Kearney
nro served with the Imitation article in or
der that they may better appreciate the
peed butter when they are released and sent
back to their homes Such would naturally
bo the excuses offered by the "reformers
nnd farmc'rlends" ! " who are on the state
board
The damaging discovery of the state but-
tcrlno contracts leads to the asking of
some very embarrassing questions regarding
Holcomb's friendship to the butfrlne man
ufacturer * , three years ago and about the
visits that , have been made to several of
the big packing houses by fusion candi
dates within the last month The question
\\lll also conio up as to how Voyntor , an
oQlcer of the State Dairy men's associa
tion , can run for nn otllco on a butterlno
platform. U may bo tnUen for granted ,
now- , that the plank In the popocratlc plat
form calling for state control of the stoc ! :
yards and packing houses means that the
reformers have dreams of a future condi
tion of state affairs when under their "good
management" the packing houses can be
operated by penitentiary labor and butter
lno can be manufactured on such a grand
scale that all the spotted cows will be
driven out of the butter business within
the sta'e.
I'ortcr'H inu-i'lnl : Inuratltudo.
In connection with this scheme of the
state house reformers to save money nt the
expense of the farmers and butter makers
of the state mention can be made of tha
Ingratitude shown by Secretary Porter. The
stnto officer from Merrlck county Is trying
to secure a re-election on account of his
record In the oHlce and In attempting the Im
possible * feat of "fooling nil of the people all
the time" ho publishes a long list of fees
he has collected. Along with this campaign
compilation ho finds It necessary to certify
that ho has obeyed the law and turned nil
the money collected Into the state treasury.
The fees ho refers to came In because of the
largo number of articles of Incorporation
that have been filed and during the last
twenty months the new creameries Incorpo
rated have exceeded In number any other
branch of business. And yet , with so much
of his office icvcnue and campaign thunder
being paid In by the creamery men , Secre
tary Porter Is on record as favoring state
contracts with Missouri butterlno manufac
turers HP In company with other members
of the state board have Issued "standing
permits" to the Institutions to buy imitation
butter In place of the real article and the
notation of these permits Is made on the
vouchers by the clerks before they are
audited by the members of the board.
There nro 155 creameries In the state of
Nebraska , with a total investment of $500-
000 , nnd besides theje factories every farmer
In the state Is directly Interested In the
butter business. Hut these Interests receive
no recognition from the sham reformers who
have "broughttite warrants to a rr-mlum. '

Later developments In the Krnuser-Sylves-
tcr homicide show that for several years
there has been bad blood between them
which had been the cause of several rows.
Krauser claimed a piece of hay ground ,
part of which was In dispute between a
sister of Sylvester's and Krauser. The
county eurveyor had run a line through It
which Sylvester did not acknowledge but
kept on cutting the haj upon the disputed
part , the value of which could not exceed
$50. Krauser went down In the Held and
ordered Sylvester to abandon his cutting.
Hard words followed and resulted In Syl
vester drawing his gun and running
Krnuser from the field. About eight hours
afterward and while Sylvester was building
a wire fence , Krauser came up near him and
with a Winchester rifle shot him In the
back , Killing him Instantly. This shootIng -
Ing was done without warning and at a tlmo
when S > lvcster was unarmed. The body

The Phelan opera house was crowded to full
capacity last night to hear the sixth of the
Joint discussions by Norrls Brown , repub
lican congressional candidate for the Sixth
district , and W. L. Greene , the present
populist Incumbent. Mr. Brown , according
to the terms of the agreement , had the
opening and closing speeches here and
Oreeno the naming of the chairman. For
this cositlon ho chose G. M. Sullivan of
this city. Mr. Brown , by reason of his
plain , straightforward statements and
frank nnd genial manner , had the favor of
the audience from the start. Ho quoted
facts and figures and Instead of being
answered In like manner elicited nothing
from Greene but equivocation and gusto.
Ho exposed the congressional record of
Greene nnd the fact that ho had voted
neither for nor against the four most Im
portant bills of the last session , thus dem
onstrating the fact that the Sixth district Is
practically unrepresented. The people were
shown how every prophesy and statement
made two years ago by Greene of what con
ditions might bo expected in the event of
republican success had proven fallacies and
utterly wrong. When Mr. Brown started
his closlns speech of ten minutes he was
Interrupted so frecucntly by Oreeno that
the latter's own chairman was forced to
compel him to desist and It was plain that
the audience was disgusted with the lack
of decorum shown by their representative.

YANKTON , S. I ) . . Sept 17 ( Special. )
Hidden under a flashing title and flic gulso
of a German gentleman of rank and wealth
there came to this city about July IB last a
man representing himself to be ono Baron
Gustav von Ootfhardt , with residence at
Luzerne , Switzerland , nnd thiough business
transactions invelgfed himself Into the
graces of one of Yankton's most estimable
German families , and on August 1C maTlcd
the eldest daughter , and now there Is every
reason to believe that' he Is a thoroughbred
impostor of the highest rank. The German
family alluded to above Is that of Henry
Wagner , this city , and the storj of how the
alleged baron smoothly worked his game
and with what success Is as follows
Henry Wagner Is an old and much re
spected citizen of German birth , and during
his residence here Is reputed as having
amassed a goodly sum of money About two
years ago Mr. Wagner received from a
Baron Gustav von Gottlmrdt n letter of In
quiry as to the possibilities of establishing
a svock concern of some tori , upon an enor
mous scale , In this section of tiio country.
In the fetter the baron elaborated upon hla
fabulous wealth his nobility and vast es
tates In Svsltzerlat.il. It wuu his ambition
to acquire property In the western part of
the United States , and ho sought Mr Wng-
ne's advice , onil , If po's'1hi" ' co-opera

dlbcouraged the baron , Informing him that
such nn Investment at that ) time , In his esti
mation , would not he profitable The two
men corresponded further In regard to the
matter , but nothing came of It
Shortly after this Mr Wagner became In

after operating it for a time concluded to

About July lii Baron Oustnv von Gottlmrdt
airlvcd in Yankton and upon making him
self linoHII to Mi. Wagner was Invited to
make the Wagner homo his place of enter
tainment during his sojourn , which ho at
once took advantage of Great were the
tales ho told of his travels , his wealth and
noble descent Signed papers , scaled by
the German goveinment , to all appearances
genuine , were exhibited by him. As time
passed it became apparent that ho was In
fatuated with the eldest daughter , Bertha ,
and ns a matter of course , her parents , being
much flattered by u proposal from a real
count , helm ; blinded by his misrepresenta
tions. Insisted that she accept him , although
bho strenuously objected , begged and en
treated that she bo not compelled to marry
this man , for whom she bore not the least
affection. Hut at last she obeyed her parents'
wlhhes , the wedding day wivs set for Aueust
1ft and preparations at once made , planning
after the marriage that the newly wedded
couple should go direct to Stuttgart ,
Luzcrne , Switzerland , where the baroness
would b , . Installed as mistress of a magnifi
cent mansion nnd estates , the mother of the
brldo to accompany them.
The uiarrlago took plocc ou the stated
day and the alleged Swiss nobleman , his
wife nnd mothcr-ln-law left Ynnkton for
tbo cast. A few days were spent nt Ni
agara falls ; they then went to New York ,
from whence * they were to sail August 24
to Switzerland. The mother and daughter
wcro ensconced In a fashionable hotel nnd
for two whole days he was a model hus
band , devoted nnd lavish with money.
Then came the announcement from him that
he must tnko a two days' trip to Cleveland ,
O. , on a matter of business. From that city
ho wrote that It was necessary for him to
go to Hot Springs , Ark. , upon business nnd
letters nnd telegrams wcn > received by the
unhappy bride from that place. Suddenly
these ceased and the baron has been heard
from no more. Mr. Wagner was made ac
quainted with the facts and ho U now In
the eaBt , endeavoring to find a trace of the
man , It Is thought hero that the baron did
not rccplvo nn expected dowry with his
Yankton bride and this Is attributed as the
causa of desertion.
