LINCOLN , Juno 10. ( Special ) A well |
organized movement hag been started by a
number of prominent citizens of Lincoln to
tender the members of the Flrat regiment a
rousing reception In this city noon after
their return from Manila The Intention of
those who have undertaken to carry out the i
plan Is to bring to this city. If possible , all !
members of the thrco regiments of Ne
braska volunteers who are In the state at .
the time Colonel Vlffjualn and other officers
of the Second and Third regiments have
flgnlflcd their willingness to co-operate
with the cltlrcns who have perfected an or
gnnlrntlon and will at once proceed to ar
range for the reception. An executive com-
mlttco hns been appointed to formulate
definite plans for the occasion and to sec
that they arc carried out It Is the opinion
of these who originated the movement that
It will be possible to bring together such a
large number of vetcrnns of the different
wars as to make the occasion without doubt
ono of the greatest In tlie history of the
state and It Is anticipated that nearly 20.-
000 men may bo brought Into line for the
event. All patriotic orders In the state will
be asked to co-operate. The name of the
organization having charge of the reception
Is ono suggested by ex-Mayor Weir "Ne
braska's Reception to the First Hcglment"
On account of the uncertainty as to
when the rirst regiment will sail from
Manila no date has been fixed for the
demonstration. It Is believed tliat the regi
ment will embark within the next two
weeks and the committee has made allow-
nnco for a stay of about n month In San
Francleco while the men are being mus
tered out. As all the soldiers will doubt
less desire to first visit their friends and
> rv relatives the leccptlnn will probably be
o held somn time In' August Colonel Vlfqualu
has addressed letters to the captains of the
different companies of the Ttilrd regiment
asking them to notify their men of the re
ception and endeavor to have as many as
po&nlble attend The state military authori
ties have already taken stepi toward giving
the soldiers horn Manila a reception on
their return , but they have consented to
co-operato with the citizens.
The resignation of Cactaln William E.
Btockhara of GJmpauy I of tlio First Ne
braska regiment of volunteers has been < ic'
copied and First Lieutenant P. James Cos-
grave of Company D was today promoted
by Governor Poyntcr to fill the vacancy.
James Cosgravo enlisted with the Tlrst rrg-
Imont as u private , but excellence and faith
ful service ha\o won steady promotion for
him. He will bo succeeded as first lieuten
ant of Company D by Second Lieutenant j
Van Valln of Company H , whose place will
bo filled by Sergeant Kobert McConnell of
the same company.
The pass system of admittance to the
state Institutions near this city has been
abolished by Governor Poyntor and hereafter
visitors will bo allowed to Inspect the bulld-
Jngo without first securing a permit from a
Btato officer.
I o ntor Still nt a Hotel.
Governor Poynter Is still occupying quar
ters at the Lincoln hotel and patiently wait
ing for the Board of Public Lands and BuildIngs -
Ings to purchase a governor's mansion.
When the chief executive was forced to
leave the house ho occupied since be came
to Lincoln the secretary of the board an
nounced that a meeting would bo held as
soon no Attorney General Smyth returned
from Omaha and that a homo for the gov
ernor would bo bought without further delay -
lay Mr. Smyth returned and a meeting ot
the board was held , but the mansion problem
was not discussed. Secretary of State Porter
ter afterward left for Kansas City , return
ing today about an hour after the attorney
general had departed for Omaha. Governor
Poynter and the owners of the houses of-
fornd for eale are anxious for the board to
take some action. The owners of the houses
cannot entertain offers from other prospec
tive purchasers until they know of the ac
tion of the board. Ono of thoeo striving to
furnish the state with a homo for the gov
ernor was at the state house a few days ago
to Inquire as to the delay Ho remarked
that ho had been offered $300 more for his
house than the amount named In lib bid ,
and consequently was an\lous to know
whether there was any probability of his
boube being accepted by the elate.
The State Fish commission met this mornIng -
Ing nt the state house , but no Important
business was transacted. The commission
consists of Messrs , May of Omaha , Obor-
foldcr of Sidney and Klrkpatrlck of Lincoln
Hon. Joseph Burns of this city today re-
cehcd a communication from Assistant
Secretary of War Melklejohn concerning the
Importation by returning soldiers from the
Philippine Islands of war trophies , souvenirs
nnil rollcs. The letter was written by the
secretary of the treasury , to whom a letter
of Inquiry by Mr. Burns was referred. The
reply is as follows

R B Kijmmer of this city has been granted
a patenl on an Improved turbine wheel
for water power Mr Kummer was for a
number of jears proprietor of the Clear
Creek mills , Just acroca the Polk county
line , and It was hero thai he studied out
the problem which Is likely to return him
quite handsomely. He has already received
several flattering offers from eastern manu
facturers to either purchase the patent out
right or pay a good royalty to place the
wheel on tba market. Vho great feature
of the now wheel Is that with one-half the
water required for the old wheel nearly
double the power can be obtained. Thus
streams which were supposed to be useless ,
not having sufficient water , can bo utilized.

County Treasurer ClinrKi-il v UH Sliort-
iiKe < o Further I'oiuilUlle Cnilx.
BUTTE , Neb , June 10. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The anest of Nicholas Seller ,
county treasurer , Thursday , charged with
misappropriating county funds to the amount
of $5,200 , was n shock to the entire com
munity nnd has been the solo loplc of con-
versallon for the last few days. Mr. Seller
Is a member ot the flrm of Seller Bros , the
largest general dealers In Bojd county , and
his reputation for honesty has never been
questioned , but good crops and a falling
away from the calamllj parly made It neces
sary for the leaders to manufacture cam
paign thunder and Seller was selected for
the sacrifice.
As the building used for a court housi >
is a ramshackle ofllco without safe or vault ,
It Is the custom of the county treasurer
to take personal care of the surplus funds.
This fact being known , It was buimlsed
that Seller was using county money In his
large mercantile business and without warn
ing at the latter end of Judge Westover's
lerm of court , Stale Examiner Simpson , of
unsavory fame in connection with the dis
closures of Auditor Cornell's ofllco , after
an examination of the books , dcclaied that
Seller was short to the amount of $ 1,200.
Ho was arrested and bound over to appear
today , which ho did and tendered along
with his resignation the entire sum of county
money duo the county from him ThU w.a
not on the program of the reformers , but
they got their second wind and bound him
over to the October term of court , which
will allow them to USD the case for all It Is
worth In the coming campaign. It is the
almost unanimous verdict of the people
that It Is n gross case of persecution and
that it will react upon the populist party.
