LINCOLN , Sept. 30. ( Special. ) The pop-
ocratlc officials have evolved a new financial
theory In state affairs whereby they are
enabled to make another claim of "savins
money for the Btato. " They have used
J291,697.09 of the permanent school fund In
buying up general warrants and according
to their method of figuring they have Just
saved that much. The way of putting It
before the voters IB to say that the warrants
when presented at the treasury have been
paid for with spot cash , but that at the
uamo time the general fund , upon which
the warrants have been drawn , has not
been depleted and IB growing all of the
time. The Intent of the scheme Is to befog
the voters and Induce them to believe that
the general fund warrants are paid oft anil
disposed of and that 'the state has gained
$2 lfi J7.09 by HIP deal. The part they neg
lect to explain la that the name warrants
will have to be paid out of the general
fund sometime In the future to reimburse
the school fund for Its Investment. Ac
cording to the popocratlc school of math
ematics when these warrants are finally
paid foi from the general fund next year
the general fund will bo depleted to the
oxlrnt of $291,697.09 aud the state will have
lost that amount. It Is the same system
of double iind quadruple entry bookkeep
ing that enables I'orter and Cornell to print
on their curds the Immense amount they
have "savtd. "
Uut perhaps the most remarkable financial
Btatemont of nil la the one put forth by
Secretary 1'ortor In which ho claims the
republicans have lost so many hundreds of
thousands of dollars "because they failed to
lir ve the new fee law on the statute bools
durif.g the -past twcnfy years. " Probably
before the campaign Is over hu will Issue
cards showing the amount of money that
has been lost because the Indians did not
( rcct the capltol building and have It ready
for occupancy when the white settlers first
came to Nebraska , or because a silver inlnu
has not been discovered on a pleco of Belioc.l
land from which ready coined dollars might
be dug In Hiiinclent quantities to pay the
Btato expenses every jcar. On such a ridicu
lous theory as that put forth by I'ortcr In
rccard .to the fee law , It does not take such
a verjfiblK stretch of Imagination to flguro
out thtl money the poporratlo officials have
Jest toruho state because they have failed
to pull the moon down to the earth and
trade the green cheese for "premium war
rants , " or bscauso they have not converted
the milky w.vy Into olfomargarlae for the
uae of the state Institution * .
1'nyliiK -11niin-ill Tnie * .
In searching the records for matter bear
ing on the recent statement made'by Treas
urers Meservo that the delinquent taxes
of the state will nexor be paid In , nothing
Is found except figures to show the utter
falsity of the statement. Custer county-
Is taken as a fair sample of the middle
western counties. This county Is n county
that has been ruled by the populists for
many years and therefore no change of
local administration could affect the collec
tion of taxes. Yet the records show that
In 1897 , 25 per rent of the taxes collected
wcro from the list that had been delinquent
for moro than a year and was In the
"worthless" class rabillloned ' by Mcserve.
In 18'JG only 1G per cent of the amount of
the collections was from this class , show
ing that there has been a largo Increase
In the payments of back taxes during the
prosperity period. The Custer county
figures for the two years arc as follows :
1S97. 183(5. (
Totnl tnx paid state $11.327.61 $9,793.09
Interest paid stnto C3S.21 402.26
Tax less than 1 year back. S.lWfi.OC 8,3o.65 : ;
Tax more than 1 year back. 1.770.1G 1,005.31
Thus It will bo seen that the old delin
quent list In Custer county Is a very valu-
nblo cash asset , as It means that during tbo
year 1897 the treasurer of that county col
lected fully $1,125. and In 189S fully $2,500
from this so-called "worthless list , " not
counting the Interest collected on the same.
Further Investigations show that lied Wil
low county , the home of Treasurer Meserve ,
in 1897 moro than 2.1 per cent of the taxes
collected was from the "worthless list , " and
In 1896 20 per cent of It was from the sanui
source.
These figures from Ued Willow relating
to the money received from the school lands
either sustain the republican prosperity ar
gument , or else they disprove Meeerve's
claim of being a great financier. The com
parison of the two years Is as follows :
1897. 1S96.
School land principal $ 7S1.75 $ 217.27
Interest 2.193.M ) 137.00 ( !
I CUSC 2,823.03 1,131.01
Totals J3.S03.5S $3,015.31 ,
This makes a balance of $2,788.27 In favor
of 1897 , and these figures are the more sig
nificant when It Is remembered that Meaervo
was himself treasurer of Red Willow county
In 1895 and 1896 , and that ho was the officer
charged with the collection of taxes and
school land monies. In 1895 he seems to have
been a very poor collector lndc d , as ho
only lurnod over to the state treasurer for
that year $825.96 school land Interest money ,
and $788.87 lease money. Perhaps Mr. Me-
scrvo can explain In hie numerous speeches
\vhy so much moro tax and school land
money was collected In 1897 than In 1895-6 ,
and If the amounts received from the Inter
est and lease of school lands In 1895 were
larger than the figures shown on the record ;
perhaps ho can explain why the other part
of the money did not reach the state treas
urer. There are several liorns to the di
lemma. Tbx ) Increase In payments Is duo to
prosperity , or Mr. Meservo was a very poor
financier as treasurer of Hed Willow , or
cUe there Is something wrong with the
statements ho filed with the auditor In 1895
and 1896.

This mor - K Governor Holcorab received
from Secretary * Mclklojohn 11 letter relating
to the muster out of Nebraska troops. The
letter was dated September 26 and Mr.
Melklejohn said that the president had
noted from the governor's statement
that there are now from Nebraska 721 sol
diers In the service In excess of one-half
of the full number furnished by the state
under the two calls and that this excess
would bo a little less than two battalions.
Objections had been offered to the breaking
up of n regiment by the mustering out of
two ( battalions and to muster out one bat
talion from each of the two regiments
would Impair the efficiency of two regi
ments. On this account the president had
decided to muster out one of the Nebraska
regiments , the designation to be made by
the governor , and ho requested an early
notification , so that be might Indicate an
other regiment to take the place of the
one mustered out. In case the governor
selects the First regiment to be let out of
the service It Is desired that the substitute
regiment mny be transported to Manila on
the came vessel that goes to bring the Nebraskans -
braskans home. The governor was not pre
pared today to announce which regiment he
would select.
General Barry today received a message
from Major Carter , surgeon In charge of
the Letter hospital at Ohlckamauga , saying
that the convalescents of the Second would
arrive In Omaha Sunday noon and that five
would need to go to a hoipllal temporarily.
V
Ocneral Harry wired the Information to
Colonel Hllss and directed him to make the
necessary arrangements for the comfort of
the sick men.
The governor sent a cablegram to Manila
today announcing the appointment of Slot-
senbers as colonel of the First Nebraska
In place of Bratt , resigned.
A message from the Third regiment today
reports that Privates Trainer , Company K ;
Larson , Company 0 , and Hadle , Company
F. died last night. There are two officers
and seventy men sick In quarters and 182
men In the hospital.

Eugcno Parks , a member of the Second
Nebraska volunteers , Is still lying very low
with typhoid fever nt his home In this city
with slight chance for recovery.
Lincoln police officers have gatherH In '
several queer characters lately. Yeat rday
Fred Moss was lodged In Jail on account of
being a box car tourist and when searched
was found to have almost $300 In money on
his person. He was fined $5 and costs and
having paid It continued his tour. ,
The new rooms of the Young Women's
Christian association were thrown open to
the public for the first time this evening.
The association now has charge of two !
floors of the Mcllrlde block , and besides
having reception ro mt , dining room and '
kitchen , Is able to furnish a good , comfortable -
able home for about thirty young women at
nominal cost.
The foot ball season opens at the univer
sity campus Saturday afternoon with a game
between the university eleven and n team
from the Hastings college. The ground has
lately been leveled off and put In fine con
dition. Although It Is probable that none
of the association games will be played In
Lincoln this year , the wumgjr announces
that ho will furnish at least four good games
with other colleges.

KKAKNI3Y , Neb. , Sopt. 30. ( Ppal. ! )
The Buffalo county fair closed yesterday and
the attractive feature of the dav was the
Joint debate between Congressman Greene ,
the populist candidate , and Norrls Brown ,
republican candidate for congress. There
was c. good crowd In attendance , represent
ing all political beliefs , and the universal
opinion Is that Greene has found his match
and got the fight of his life on his hands.
The debate was looked forward to with
considerable intcrcK by nil parties , as this
Is the homo town of both candidates , and It
was expected that Mr. Greene would do his
bprt. Mr. Brown , however , more than sat
isfied his friends mi'l own the most pro-
nouncrd populists agrco that Mr. Greene
has found his equal so for as abilities are
concerned.
From first to last Mr. Greene was put on
the defensive and when Justly accubad by
Mr. Brown of absenting himself or refusing
'to vote on some of the most Important meas
ures before congress he tried to excuse
himself by referring to them as of minor
Importance and Bald that "everything rests
on the currency problem. "
In his last fifteen minutes Mr. Greene
was visibly rattled and could evidently
see that the audience was not In sympathy
u'tli ' htm , cs IIP got quite wrn'hy and resorted -
sorted moro to his old-tlmo tactics of petty-
fogging nnd browbeating than to straight ,
clear-cut argument.
The debate was of great value to the
republicans here , as It has shown up popu
list weakness and confirmed the republicans
In the belief that Greene was getting the
worst of It wherever they go.

stead of proceeding to Council Bluffs. The
hearing was to hava taken place last even
ing before Judge Hannibal , who , however ,

days , blocking the whole Judicial machinery
for that length of time. In addition the
defendant , Farrlngton , now sues Sheriff
Morgan for $200 damages.

HEAVY EXPORT MOVEMENT OF CEREALS

N I'rnniirctn for Fnll
Trnile Uood.
NEW YORK , Sept. 30. Dradstreet's tomorrow -
morrow will say :
Though rather quieter conditions are reportable -
portable In a number of lines of trade , the
volume of buMncts doing the country over
Is a very heavy one , slightly smaller , so far
ns bank clearings would Indicate , than In
September a year ago , but comparing very
favorably with corresponding periods In all
preceding years.
Whllo the edge appears to have been taken
off the active demand for some time noted
In the west and northwest nnd the Imposi
tion of yellow fever quarantines nnd the
low price of cotton In the south have hurt
trade In that fcctlon , there have been on
the other hand , rather better reports re
ceived from the leading eastern and middle
rtnto cltlcr , pointing to a fuller development
of the long expected fall trade.
Accompanying this slight shifting of activ
ity from one section of the country to the
other has been a continued heavy export
movement of leading cereals , unprecedented
manufacture In nearly all lines of iron and
steel and continued good reports as to gross
railway earnings , comparisons In thin re
spect , It being remembered , being made with
particularly favorable conditions a year ago.
Hardly less pronounced strength Is no
ticeable In the price situation. Wheat ,
after quite a heavy bulge early In HIP week
on undoubtedly good export demand , for
eign buying nnd nervousness of September
shorts , lias quieted down and prices are a
few rents lower on thonek , the result
mainly of Increased deliveries by farmers
taking advantage of tljp tempting premium
existing for cash wheat.
Sympathetic weakness In other ecroah Is
likewise noted. Pork products cro lo\\or ,
partly becnuso nf ICST favorable southern
advices. Cotton Is weaker on continued
heavier movement , and cottnn Good" , espe
cially print cloths , are thereby sympathet
ically afiertod.
Rubber , nf'.cr a lonx perlold of ndvnncca
In price1. Is l wcr on the week. The feature
of the situation In iron , steel and , In fact ,
necrly all mct.ila. Is the strength of values ,
wbjch reflect ; ) the unpreredcntly heavy eon-
rumption now going on throughout the
country , though demand business Is rather
quieter , pending progress making on orders
already bcc\cd. Export trade In Iron nnd
steel is reported fooling Iho effect of the
advance mnrtc in frtisht rates resulting frnm
heavy ( shipments of our cereals and other
products abroad. Wheat , Including flour ,

Since July 1 , this year , the export ? of

UK VIEW OF THE STOCK 5IAUKKT.
Attention In Ponteri'il on the Indus
trial StoflJn Tobacco n Fi'iiturr.
NEW YORK. Sept. 30. Brad&trccfs
Financial Review tomorrow will say :
Attention has again been centered upon
the Industrial stocks , a heavy decline In
American Tobacco bslng the disturbing fac
tor In the week's speculation.
Money has ceased to be a source of anx
iety , the arrival of gold from Europe ana
the fact that the treasury disbursements ore
mce moro exceeding Its receipts , resulting
In freer offerings nnd easier rat's for time
nd call loans. While the Eurorean mnr-
licts showtd symptoms of alarm over the po
litical outlook In Franco , in China and In
Bgypt , London has nevertheless been on the
whole a buyer of Americans , particularly of
; ho Pacific railroad stocks. Exchange was
Urcngcr early In the week , but though fur
ther large gold engagements are announced
iver $500,000 specie was taken In London
luring the week for American account , and
thcro are also rumors of gold shipments
from Australia to San Francisco.
The only positively unfavorable develop-
ncntB In tha situation are that the August
let earnings of ceraln railroads make an
infavorable comparison with their figures
the year before , when wheat was moving
freely to market under the stimulus of high
jrlces , and the alleged uncertainty caused
ay the approaching elections for a new con-
; ress , before which the currency question
nlsht be the subject of agitation. All of
: hcse matters have for the greater part of
; ho last week been subordinate to the fact
hat Tobacco stock has had a violent break
'rom 148 to 125 in the face of practical com
pletion of the plnn for n union of the leadIng -
Ing manufacturers , In which the American
Tobacco company Is an Interested party.
Sugar has at times rivaled Tobacco In weak
ness , If not In activity , nnd other Indus
trials sold off to an extent which gave sup
port to the Idea that a large manipulative
Interest , which has made a bull campaign In
that group , had concluded that their spec
ulative possibilities' were exhausted.
Whllo money showed Increasing ease the
severe decline In the leading Industrials nat
urally occasioned some temporary unset
tling of loans. This as much an anything
else Influenced speculation In railroad
shares and checked public activity. In fact ,
It might be mid that the trading for the
week has been In an unusual degree profes
sional In character. Thursday a rally set
In , which checked the gradual decline , Its
progress being facilitated by the covering of
the short Interest the decline had caused to
accumulate. On Friday the market was
again unsettled and railroad stocks shared In
1 the depression and bear attacks , the close
' being heavy at concessions. There were ,
j however , some few strong features , the
most conspicuous being Northern Pacific
common and Union Pacific , both ot which
were the objects of extensive foreign pur
chases. The grangers were heavy and neg
lected , nnd Burlington was sold down to
113 on expectations of an unfavorable August -
. gust net earnings statement. The fact that
i It showed an Increase Instead of anticipated
i decrease caused a sharp rally In the price
j to 116. Atchlson stocks , on the other hnnd.
I werr unfavorably affected by the poor August -
'
gust showing of tbnt road , the company's
i adjustment bonds being very weak. I'eople'o
Gas was weak at first and seemed to be un
favorably affected by the news that largo
i concessions had lieen made to pccurp a set-
| tlcment with the Indiana natural gas lu-
' tercnts , but later on It improved In tone
and advanced. Selling of Louisville aNanh -

; icspcet mtro natlrfnctnrv U'an ' It has ever
I been unless In this quarter of 1S92.
i Changes are all for the better , except in
I thf fnll of intton to the- loves ! point for
; fifty years , and wen the lowest jirlees of
1848 eons'lderlns ' $ ie tiiflcronces of quality
' were not perlmpa lower than this weft ; ,
j If there were not on Irind coinmprelil iind
| mill a'.ocks unusually large , or if manufac
turing were more suceerfsful , early recovery
might seem probable , but the heavy fnll on
material has affected the demand for goe-'s. '
causing buyers to eyncct still lower prices
for cotton. Notwithstanding the de
cline lust week , goods now aver-
r.ge lower than ever before. While
the stagnation in wool continues and
s"iles are smaller than In the same month in
the panic year , 1893 , numerous mills have
started temporarily In order to get out
eauiplo piecea. There has been no quotable
decline In wool and searce'y nny In goods.
I the recent reduction havlug stimulated a
| larcer demand.
The demand for boots and shoes seem ? c
| llttlo hotter und recorded shipments ha" "
been larger than In Sentemhi'r of any yeai
previous , except the last , and larger than
In nnv other year from January 1 to June.
In other metal , the slight dullness In tin
j and lead does not signify small business.
I Nickel .i higher at .15 to "S cents' , and tin
plates unchanged In spite of the enormous
increase Wprctluctlon , though thP desire to
push smaller works Into the consolidation
which now commands oil active mills Is said
to t' reatrn temporary decline.

hold at Sio.n at PlttslmrR , while Valley
producer : ' report 320,000 tons sold for de
livery before June nex' , ( he consumption is
evidently growing. The week's reported con
tracts include ouu for 17OfO tons pipe from
Basic steel b- the tanJard Oil company ,
matetlal for I'.OOO cars ordered for the Penn
sylvania , structural work for many ordinary
and two larw bulldtngB and heavy orders for
plativ , partly for two lake vessels and
partly for eastern ship yards , which have
larger business than ever. The demand for
iron ban ov.-lns to Increased use of steel
Is , In some quorters. below execution , nnd
shipments are less active at Plttsburg ,
though the mills are full of orders. Rail
producers are negotiating a new coach work
nnd prices are said to be shaded slightly.
Car. locomotive , bridge and structural work
Is exceedingly heavy and there are no signs
of a decrease In the demand.
Wheat rose 2'i cents , lint on Thursday de-
cllncd sharply , closing 2 cents lower for the
week , rotwlthstnndlng very heavy exports ,
amounting for the wek to 1,911.022 bushels ,
against 5.092,186 bushels last year , and for
four weeks to 15,011UC2 bushels , against
20C61lfi burh"ls last year , flour Included.
The usual amount of guesses does not
change the belief that the crop will bo the
largest ever grown , and while farmers
throughout the west are holding back grain
largely because of the low prices , the west
ern receipts are now running above last
year. Corn is a fraction lower , with some
decrease In export demand , though the re
cent shipments would have been considered
heavy In any year until the last , and ean
hprdly be continued long.
Failures for the week have been 195 In
the United States , against 191 last year , and
seventeen In Canada , against thirty-four
last year.

BROKEN BOW , Neb. , Sept. 30. ( Special
Telegram. ) The democratic congressional
convention of the Sixth district was held
hero this afternoon and Greene's program
was carried out , but not without strong op
position. The test vote was on the election
of a temporary chairman. The Greene fol
lowers nominated Robert Oberfelder of
Sidney and the anti-Greene crowd placed in
nomination H. K. McQlothln of Kearney.
The ballot resulted 23 to 23 In favor of Obor-
felder. The opposition to Greene had the
most men present , but Greene had secured
representation of the larscst vote. Rod.
Smith , Greene's prlvoto secretary , was on
the ground and also John G. Maher , to help
Greene out. The Buffalo county delegation
was headed by Whedon , editor of the Kear
ney Democrat. The entire Buffalo county i
delegation of fourteen was against Greene '
and seven of the nlno delegates from Custer
county. They made a valiant fight against
endorsing Greene and when the minority
found that Greene had outgeneraled them
Whedon withdrew from the hall. A number
of the delegates declare they will never sup
port Greene. There were only eight coun
ties represented and less than twenty-flvo
voters , of which Buffalo nnd Custer fur
nished sixteen. The final vote on the en
dorsement of Greene was 35 for nnd 19
against making any nomination. J. G.
Maher was elected chairman of the congres
sional committee nnd C. B. Scott secretary.
T. J. O'Kecfe was secretary of the conven
tion.
