LINCOLN , Sept. 24 ( Special ) Business
at the state house has been practically sus
pended this week , the few officials nnd clerks
who are not out campaigning having been
utilized to look up figures thct might bo
distorted Into an answer to Judge Hayward.
A casual visitor to any of the state depart
ments would be continually surprised at
seeing some wild-eyed official rush In and
cry out to nome other olHcIal "We've got
'cm , we'vo got em , " and then rush out to
consult with sotno of the professional poll-
tlclan-clerks on the best way to "handle
'em" after they do "get 'em " These figures
are being compiled In order that Treasurer
Mescrve and B. P. Smith may deliver
speeches nt the Oliver theater Monday
night. Bills have been printed advertising
that they "would answer Judge Hayward , "
and today the state house janitors , who , ac
cording to the attorney general , "owe all
their time to the state , " have been en
gaged In billing the town. The speech has
taken seven days for Its completion , nnd
the united efforts of many patriots have
been concentrated on the Important docu
ment. These patriots are all salaried clerks
who also "owe all their time to the state , "
and If their work on the speech Is figured
at the regular salary rate. It has cost the
state about $250 to furnish an answer to
the Hayward speech. It is not known
whether Mcserve and Smith will touch on
the "pass Is a bribe" question , or whether
they will devote much of their time to the
explanation of why popocratlc defaulters
with political pull are protected from prose
cution There Is a whispered hint that they
will take the countiy by storm , prove that
the people of Nebraska are growing poorer
every day. and that It Is only through the
excessive honesty of the present state of
ficials that the state funds are made to
grow .larger as the tax payments grow
smaller.

The thing that Irritates the men who farm
the farmers most is the exposure of the bul-
terlno contracts. One $1.100 a year clerk
h.T5 been detailed to find something that
will counteract this scandal , and at consld
crablo expenditure of time that belongs to
the state this clerk has found that back In
1891 nnd 1892 republican officials bought but-
tcrlno for some of the Institutions. As a
consequence a screed will be prepared by
the campaign writer , who has often been
aptly described ns "the man off his reserva
tion. " This screed will describe the horrors
of the republican butterlne. but will fall to
mention that these contracts were made be
fore the passage of the law making butter
lne contraband nnd at a time when Frank
Ransom , G. L. Laws , Frank Hilton and
other eminent reformers were leading re
publicans H will also fall to mention that
It was republican votes In a republican leg
islature that passed the ontl-buttcrlno law
to put a stop to the business In this state
and that tha law went , on the books agalnsl
the will of a populist governor.

LINCOLN. Sept. 24 ( Special ) About
a month aeo the state olllcinls compiled
and published a staumcnt the patriotic
object of which wns to show that Instead
of taxes coming In faster than ever , that
the delinquent list In the state was growing j
larger. Llko their bureau organized to i
prove that "farming does not pay , " this I
compilation was for the purpose of proving 1
that the people of the state are unable to
pay their taxes.
This calamity statement was published
In the "reform press" under the caption
"Delinquent Taxes Orow Increase In
School Moneys Not Due to Payment ot
Taxes , but to Honest Government The
Facts from the State Records. "
Ihen this popocratic compilation went
on to show that during the year 1897 th
total state tnx levied acalnst the counties
was $1,181,919.76 and that the total tax
paid during the same year wns only $1,173-
232.17 , making nn Increase In the delin
quent list of $8,687.59. This fact was ex
ulted over and the "reform press" article
closed Us dignified argument by shouting :
"Bring on the next campaign lie ! "

In the table of figures prepared by the
state officers only n part of the "facts from
the records" were given , the Intent of the
statement bclnc to deceive the people of

tax paid In 1897" the payment of Interest
on delinquent taxes was left out and the
showing of the amount of money paid by
the counties was Just $31,750.70 less than
the records actually show ,

On an examination of these fisures it
will be noted that the populist statement
made a deduction from the actual amount
paid In every county and that Instmd of
paying less tnx mone > In 1897 than the
total levy of that same year , the counties
actually paid the state $31,759.70 more than
the tax levy called for nnd that In addi
tion to this the counties paid In $701,791 13 ,
being the money received on account of the
educational lands. The school apportion
ment for the samp year amounted to $739.
' 191.93 , so it will bo noted that the counties
during 1897 turned Into the state treasury
$1,167,191.1R more than they got back
through the medium of the school nppor
tlonment.

KANSAS CITY , Sept. 2 ! Seven masked
men held up the westbound Missouri Pacific
passenger train , known as the Little Rock
and Wichita express , at a point In the
woods between Leeds and Daw son * seven
miles from Kansas City , at 0 10 o'clock last
night. To prevent Interference they first
smashed thu telegraph Instruments at the
Belt line station , the Junction of the Belt
line and the 'Frisco , near the s > ceno of the
holdup , and marched the operator , D M.
Hlsey , before them to a point half a mlla
east. While- two men covered Hlscy the
others flagged the train as It approached ,
quickly covered Hnglneur Slocum and Fire
man U'eslon and compelled them to dis
mount , and detaching the cngino and thu
Pacific express car , ran them down the track
a mile and a half toward Dawson. The pas
sengers weie unmolested , but the portei , I
who attempted to interfere , wns quickly sent J , I
to cover by u shot directed by one of the
|
madmen At a desolate spot up the toad
the baggngp car was quickly broken Into ,
great quantities of dvnamlto placed upon
the through safe , and the local safe placed
on top of It So much explosive was upeil
that the car wus literally blown to splinters
and the safes thrown wnj to one side of the
track. This morning nothing but frag
ments of the local safe could bo found , and
the through bo1 : was a wieck , the top hav
ing been blown off nnd the door wrenched
and otherwise damaged. The explosion ,
which wns of such force ns to have been
heard distinctly in Kansas City , undoubtedly
destroyed any valuables In the safe nnd that
the robbers themselves were not blown to
atoms seems strange , ? o let rifle was the
blast. The express officials examined their
one remaining strong box this morning.
They absolutely refused to make a statement
of thtlr loss , saying Hlmply that It was
"small. "
Superintendent Moore of the express company -
pany Insists that the train carried but little -
tlo treasure. A small army of detectives was
at the scene eaily this morning , but up to
10 a. m. had no tangible clue. The belief
that they were old hands at the business and
are by this time safe from capture Is gen
eral.
ixnrNH : Cnr IVreclcril.
Flying debris from the shattered express
car was carried down tbo telegraph
wires along the 'Frisco track , which
parallels the Missouri Pacific at the
point of the robbery , and completed the
stoppage of telegraphic communication be
gun at the Belt line station.
It wastherefore , some time before the news
of tbo robbery became known , and still
longer bcforo a wrecking crow could bo got
ten out. A new cnglno had to be secured , OH
that the robbers used had been "killed. "
It was 3 20 this morning befoio the wrecked
baggage and express matter , strewn In all
directions , was gathered togtthcr. the train
made up and the trip south continued.
The express matter. In many Instances to
tally destroyed , was taken to Oasawatomle ,
Kan. Much excitement prevailed amonc the
passengers during their long wait In the lift-
tached tars , though but little firing was In
dulged In by the robbers.
The robbery was undoubtedly one of the
boldest that has tver been cutr.uiltted in this
locality , so noted for holdups

rest of the train. I looked out and saw

holdup and ducked In They then came to
the side door and beat on U with their guns.
'Let us In or we'll blow you up. ' they de
manded. I opened the door and three men
got In. They were masked and carried sacki
over thulr iirms. Ono man got the drop on
me. They cursed mo and asked how much
money there was In the safeo. I lied to
them good nnd plenty. The mask of one
of the men slipped and I triad to get a good
look at him. Quick ns a Hash he hit mo on
the head with the butt of his revolver. They
put seven titicks of dynamite on the big
combination safe and set the portable snfo
on top of the dvnnmlte. The car finally
stopped and they set a fuse. I saw a match
struck. They Jumped out leaving me In the
,
' car. I pleaded with them and they finally
let mo Jump down. We all moved up on
the other side of the road. It seemed an
age as wo waited. The fuse had apparently
refused to work , and they sent me to uncouple

a roar I fell to the ground stunned. When
I recovered and regained my fsot Eonie one
said , 'nit quick , git. ' I started on a run
down the track toward the rest of the train
while the rest of the robbers who had como
tip by this time made for the express car. "
During the day a liveryman In the south
