LINCOLN , Oct. 10. ( Special. ) The cam
paign circulars sent out by the popocratlc
officials all purposely fall to compare the
expense of managing the Institutions with
the period when Lorenro Crounse was gov
ernor of the stato. As vho period of 1&93- i
was when the state was entirely under r"e-
publlcan control and as It has been partly
under popocratlc control ever since that
time It Is no more than fair that the fig
ures under the Cfounse management ohould
be used. In most of the Institutions there
has been no material Increase in the num
ber of inmates. Some of them' have changed
In Che method of management by the pas
sage of laws , such as the penitentiary , while
a. new soldiers' home has been established
nnd the aggregate number of Inmates In
creased , The popocrats have refused to
pay money to support the Homo for the
Friendless , so It cannot be Included In the
comparison.
In going Ibrough the records for the peri
ods of 1893-4 and 1807-8. taking the figures
showing the expenditures up to the 1st of
October , 1894 , and the 1st of October , 1S9X ,
it ) is found that the expenditures for MIP j I
board and clothing , fuel and lights for the
Institutions nt Omaha , Nebraska City , Gen
eva , Beatrice , Hastings , Norfolk , Kjarnoy
nnd the hospital at Lincoln , the republicans
spent In eighteen months almost exactly cho
same amounts ns have the popocrsts In tbo j
past eighteen months. At the Lincoln Hos
pital for the Insane , Governor Crounso spent ) j l
133,878.37 for maintenance , while during the
eamo comparative period under the Ilowlck
contract system the malntananco has ro t
$36,147.19 , besides $ lll .8t5 that was drawn
from tlho former republican appropriation bo-
twecn April 1 and August 1 , 1897. So there
is no reform In that Item , being , Inact , an |
increase In expense of $4,500 , which < -ould i
hardly all be accounted for In the Item of
vegetables carted away by the secretary of
state for his family use.
At Norfolk the expense for fuel and lights
runs about $500 In favor of republican econ
omy , while nt Nebraska City In the three
Items of living expenses , fuel and light/ ! and
employes' wages , the poposrats have spent
$2,000 more than the republicans did for the
same Identical Items during the Crounsa
period. At the Institute for the Deaf and
Dumb at Omaha the popocrats used $1,000
more to buy fuel and lights than the repub
licans required for a like period , and at
Beatrice the popocrats overrun In the same
Item over $1,500. At Geneva the popocrats
Increased the fuel and light expense over
S800. So It will be observed that under pop
ocratlc "reform management" there are a
number of leaks that cannot be explained.
Viewing the matter In another light other
than of extravagance and mismanagement ,
the popocrats ought to have been able to
maintain the Institutions at a largely re
duced expense , ns almost every Hem furn
ished the Institutions la sold now at a lower
price than during 1893-4. Taking Into con
sideration thlti reduction In the cost of liv
ing , It Is apparent that tbo popocrats have
been much more extravagant than were the
republicans. But this will not deter the
"reformers" from going'over the state with
their statements about "republican steals , "
and the figures showing the "amount saved
per capita. " t , .
TRY TO CAUSE A PANIC
X'oporrntit Circulate Incenillnry Mis
information Concerning the
of Ncbrnxkn.
LINCOLN , Neb. , Oct. 10. ( Special. ) The
Vicious and Incendiary letter sent out by the
popocratle officials for publication In the
country press , and which the leading pope
cratlc paper of the state pronounces as
harmless , calling the republicans "lunatics"
for exposing It , reads In part as follows :
Tbo last report of the condition of the
493 banks , state and national , doing busi
ness In the state has caused a good many
men to put on their thinking caps. It ap
pears that the bankn are owing demand lia
bilities to the amount of $ , " > 3OD5,755 nnd the
total cnsh In their possession only amount's
to $5,710SSO. Hero la a pretty state of
affairs one dollar of money nnd ton dollars
of wind. The limit of safe banking hns
always been considered one dollar of money
to four dollnrn of credit , but In these days
of sound money the banks are going It six
better. That statement shows the frail
foundation upon which nil business rests In
this state. A single breath would knock
the whole row of cards down. But suppow
we really had n gold standard and only
Bold was legal tender. Where would wo
bo then ? Instead of having $5,710,880 to
pay off their Indebtedness of $53,095.753 , they
would only have $2,401,770. or ono dollar
of money to twenty-six dollars of wind.
Wind Is n pretty good thing , but If too much
of It Is forced Into nny sort of n receptacle
it Is sure to Imrft. If only one-tenth of
the banks' creditors should take a notion
that thev wanted their money the whole 595
would RO up the flume In fifteen minutes.
The time for another panic Is getting close
t& hand. This bank report shows that the
conditions which produce panics are already
hero. T. II. TIBBLns.
Xninc Qiirrn the Article.
This man Tibbies Is a .sort of dummy ,
whose name Is used to exploit all the state
ments nnd political rot desired to be sent out
by the reformers. Ho Is furnished an office
In the cnpltol building along with all the
other conveniences. The state officials pay
him $10 a week for writing stuff , and for
mailing out stuff over his own signature that
is written by them. They paid him $2 to
cover the- postage on the bank article , and
neither their responsibility nor their Intent
In the matter can bo denied. That the
nrtlcle did not cause a financial scare In
the state Is because of the little credence
that Is given to the articles signed by the
lean Tibbies.
The secretary of the State Banking Board
said today In nn Interview that the report
upon which this Incendiary article was
based Is the best report over Issued In the
stato. Ho said that the banks of the state
of Nebraska now are In a better condition
and show a larger per cent of legal reserve
than these of any other s.tate In the union ,
even Kansas being outstripped for the first
Mr. B. P. McAllister , Hnrroda-
burg , Ky. , says : "I employed nu

time In the history of the state. In going I
over the showings made by the stnto banks ,
taking the records on flic In his office , Bee- i
rctary Hall found that In 1S92 the legal
reserve held by the slate banks was 25 per
cent ; In 1S93 It vas : .3 per cent ; In 1S9I It
was 30 per cent ; In 1896 It was a little over
S3 per cent , and at present It Is over CO
per cent.
In discussing the weight of signatures at
tached to published articles Mr. Hall said
that If the Tibbies article had appeared In
print over the signature of any ono of a
number of responsible names In this state
It would have caused a financial panic , but
that appearing as It did , there was not so
far as he had heard a flurry In a single lo
cality. Ho thought the article was Ill-
advised nnd uncalled for , and that a man
of Influence Issuing such an article would
cause untold damage.

There was a heavy shower of rain here last
night , the total precipitation being about
.75 Inch. It was preceded by a strong
wind , which so far as heard from did no
damage. Formers are commencing to husk
their corn this year some earlier than
usual. The yield Is not very good. Indlca-
tlons are that considerable winter wheat
will bo put In this fall.
GENEVA. Neb. , Oct. 10. ( Special. ) A
fine rain fell yesterday evening and contlnn
ued the most of the night. Fair wheat , which

heavy thunder storm visited this section last
night. Rain poured down heavily nearly all
night and the amount of precipitation was
about two and three-fourths Inches. Wheat ,
of which a very large acreage has been
sown , Is looking fine and corn Is going to
yield much better than was expected four
or five weeks ago. It was the general opin
ion of farmers at that time that corn would
be almost a failure tn this section , but the
weather has been so favorable for maturing
the crop that now they report that the yield
will exceed half , If not two-thirds of a crop ,
CULBERTSON , Neb. , Oct. 10. ( Special. )

WYMORE. Neb. , Oct. 10. ( Special. )
While ouj , hunting yesterday afternoon Joe
Lltty and Hedi'ey Wasl , two boys of this
city , discovered the badly decomposed re
mains of a man In a field , near where the
Union Pacific and Burlington roads cross , a
mile east of this city. It Is thought this
evening that facts have developed which
may yet lead to the Identification of the
body. During the latter part of August a
workman employed on the I ) . & M. found
a package of letters about 100 yards from
whcjo the body was discovered and after
reading a few of them ho tied them up and
placed them at the foot of a largo tree and '
today when ho learned the news of the dls-
covcry of a body In that vicinity he Informed
the authorities of what ho had found and
accompanied them to where the letters
wero. The letters wore addressed to James
L. Priest. Beatrice , Neb. , and ono was from
his mother at Grand Island , Imploring htm
to send her morphine , and from the tone of
the letter It Is Inferred that both mother
and eon were victims of the morphine habit.
Another letter was from a brother In
Omaha , and was evidently a reply to a rc-
ouest for money with which to buy mor
phine. The brother refused to send money ,
.but said it James would como to Omaha ho
,
would see that Tie was taken care of and
would make arrangements whereby ho could
take treatment for the cure of the morphine
habit.

To Collect > I'crNoni\l Tux.
City Treasurer Broadwell has authorized' '
the statement that he will from this time
on rcfuso to accept taxes on real cstato
where the personal tax Is not paid. A
great many people have an Idea that they.
cannot be compelled to pay a personal tax. "i J I
In this they are wrong for the law pro-
vldes for the collection of a personal tax
by levying upon any personal property nt
hand. Residents here do not seem to realize
this , for so many refuse to pay the personal
tax. In otdor to make bis books balance
Treasurer Broadwell will be forced to place
a personal tax collector In the field as tho'
law allows and thoeo who do not pay will ,
have to bo dealt with according to law.

is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It
acts directly on the delicate and Important

tones and builds up the nerves. It is the
discovery of Dr. R. V. Pierce , an eminent
and skillful specialist , for thirty years chief
consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel
nnd Surgical Institute , at Buffalo , N. Y.
This is one of the greatest medical institu
tions in the whole world. Dnrinsr the thirty-
years that Dr. Tierce has been at its head
he has cained the unbounded respect of
his fellow citizens at Duffalo , and they
showed it by making- him their representa

position he resigned to eive the remainder
of his life to the practice of his chosen
profession , He will cheerfully answer , free
