LINCOLN , July 1. ( Special Telegram. )
Btate Auditor Cornell still adheres to his
former decision to retain possession of the
books and records of the Insurance depart
ment of the state until the constitutionality
of the Weaver act Is established In tlie
courts. Whllo no formal demand for the
ofllco has been made upon the auditor , cither
by Governor Poyntcr or Insurance Commis
sioner Bryant , It Is his evident intention to
bold the offlco. Ills reason for not turning
over the books Is that ho wishes to be con
vinced tliat ho will be relieved of all liability
If the transfer Is made. Auditor Cornell
and Governor Poynter held a consultation
this morning , but no definite conclusion was
reached. Governor Poynler offered to com
mence n friendly suit In the district court
hero If the auditor \\ould agrco to release
the books and records , but this the latter
refused to do , remarking that the matter
should bo settled before the transfer is
made.
Insurance Commissioner Bryant nnd his
deputy , J. G. P. Hlldebrand , were at the
Stale houna thin morning prepared to as
sume the duties of the Insurance depart
ment. Furniture for their office was pur
chased thla morning and stationery and
Blgna with the Insurance commissioner's
name attached have been prepared. Mr.
Bryant has Invested nearly $100 In office
etatlonory and sealo. An expensive official
seal was ordered by Mr. Bryant several
days ago , Auditor Cornell voluntarily giv
ing a few suggestions as to Its design. It
is reported that the new commissioner has
dlspcnsfl of all of his property In his home
town.
Oovernor Mnkc * Formal Dcnmml.
This afternoon a formal demand was made
upon the auditor by Governor Poynter for
the books and records of the office. The
demand was In writing , but Auditor Cornell
refused to read It when presented , saying
that ho was busy and could not consider It
nt the time.
"I have received a communication from
the governor , " eald iMr. Cornell , "hut I
haven't had tlmo to read it and will not
for some time. "
Before the formal application was made
Governor Poynter visited the auditor's of-
flee and informed the auditor that he In
tended to make a formal demand. This was
later given to Commissioner Bryant , who
with his deputy , J. O. P. Hlldebrand , pre
sented it to the auditor. The demand of
the governor follows :
To Hon. John F. Corncn. Auditor of Tub-
lie Accounts for the State of Nebraska : I
hereby demand of you that you surrender to
me , as the Insurance commissioner of said
state , all records , books , blanks , reports and
nil other appurtenances In your office , be
longing to the state Insurance business ,
which I will receive either at your office or
nt the room set apart for the insurance de
partment in the state capltol building , as
you may elect. W. A. POYNTER ,
Governor of Nebraska.
Auditor Cornell Is still conducting the In-
Buranco department and. although no ap
propriation was made by the legislature for
the work , the insurance clerks are discharg
ing their duties as before the Weaver law
went Into effect. The Weaver law makes
the state treasurer custodian of the insur
ance securities , but Treasurer Merserve has
not decided whether to accept these papers
or not. He stated this afternoon that no
securities had been offered him under the
law nnd that he was not prepared to state
how he woufd act In the matter. Regarding
the receipts for fees received he stated that
he would send them to the different com
panies and that they could use their own
Judgment whether to return them to the
auditor or to the newly-appointed Insurance
commissioner. Auditor Cornell said this
morning that If the governor would make a
formal demand for the records of the office
ho would reply In writing at an early date.

In IteRiird to C Ion I UK.
We have been watching with a good deal
of Interest this movement of closing at 6
ociock Saturday nights. It Is something
that we have been wishing for for a long
time. We were waited upon by a delegation
appointed by a mass meeting and , vo told
them that we would be very glad to close if
the rest would , but we 3-9 there are a few
that have started and the rest item to be
not inclined , but we believe that the work
ing man ought to have .ils slights to him-
eelf and that ten hours a day Is long enough
for any one to work , and we think that our
clerks would do us better service by getting
home for a JlttFe recreation than to work
until 10 p , m , Saturday nights and not get-
tins home much before 11 o'clock , maybe
later. Consequently they have to sleep most
of Sunday to get reeled , Instead of going to
church as they should do. And we believe
they would feel much better and give us all
better service by being fresh Monday morn
ing when they come to work. And we shall
close our place Saturday nights at 6 p. m.
for the next two months at least to try it ,
and we are only sorry we did not start this
Saturday night passed. But we thought as
it was the Saturday , before the Fourth we
would keep open unless the rest all closed
up. So we hope that people wishing 10 trale
with us will do their purchasing during the
week or before Saturday night nt 6 o'clock ,
and we know we will be able to give th m
better service than we would by being
rushed so every Saturday in order to pet
their goods out for them. Yours very truly ,

BUFFALO , N. Y. , June 30. ( Spcclnl Cor
respondence of The lice. ) Klvo days from
today the Advisory Board of Architects will
Bather at New York nnd there apportlto
among the nine members of the board the
different buildings which will beautify the
grounds of the rnnnmerlean exposition.
which will bo held nt Duffalo during the
summer months of 1901. It has been de
cided that of the principal buildings , no'
counting the building * which will ho erected
by the government , the states nnd the
countries of Centrar and South America.
there will be nine , nnd the nine members of
the board will have these great nrtlstlc piles
apportioned out among themselves
There will bo many buildings beside these
and It Is now probable that the federal gov
ernment nnd the state of Now York will
combine In the erection o : a building not
before provided for , namely , a Fish nnd
Flnhorles building. Within the last few days
the matter has been broached by William
do C. Ilavenal , who Is In charge of the
division of fish culture of the government
commission of fish and fisheries , and he
was so Impressed with , the Idea thnt he Im
mediately went to Albany to consult with
the State Fish commission.
Such a display would be a very Interesting
one , and as It would add another Important
building to the number already scheduled
It Is probable that the total number of build
ings on the grounds will total up a couple
of score , for It Is now known that many of
the states of this country will have their own
structures , and the countries of South
America win have splendid representation.
The .linn With n Scheme.
As the work of the exposition progresses
the hair of the man who Is temporarily In
charge of the Publicity bureau of the big
exposition Is rapidly becoming sparse and
silvered , for the horde of strange beings
with weird advertising delusions haunt his
office day by day and give voice to their
hallucinations and tell how much good maybe
bo gained for the fair If the management
will but foreswear the aid of newspapers and
adopt the "great scheme which I have Just
thought up. "
There Is a man who wants to decorate his
raiment with embroidered emblems of the
exposition and walk from Land's End to the
uttermost parts of the earth as a spectacular
boom agent for the show , and an argument
cannot convince him that he Is a maniac.
"Just simply n waste of time and energy
for you to fill up the newspapers of the
country with stories about the show. " said
thin Individual , who called a day or so since.
"You can get greater advertlsln * If you en
gage mo than by all the papers ever pub
lished. You sec , my scheme Is this ; I get
a white suit of clothes and have embroidered
on the back of the coat In rod yarn the official
program of the exposition ; then I take a
pocketful ! of badges and some copies of the
prospectus and walk from Buffalo to Cali
fornia , stopping In every city and town.
Millions of people see me and would ask
mo what that thing on my back was , and
when I'd tell 'em they'd get ready to go to
the exposition. I'll make the trip for you
cheap. "
Another advertising genius equally
"shrewd" advocated the purchase by the
committee of a largo number of rubber
stamps reading : "Be sure to go to the Pan-
amerlcan exposition at Buffalo In 1001. "
"How many boiled eggs do you think arc
eaten In the big hoarding houses and res
taurants and hotels of America every mornIng -
Ing for breakfast ? " asked the caller as an
Introductory to the development of his won
derful Idea.
The bewildered manager refused to guess.
"Well , there's millions of "em , " continued
the visitor. "Now , my scheme Is this : Sup
ply each and every restaurant and hotel In
the country with rubber stamps with an ad
vertisement for the exposition on them and
have the manager of the hotel or restaurant
stamp It on every egg , and -when the guests
eat their eggs each morning they will have
the exposition Invitation staring 'em in the
face.
"It won't cost much , " he continued , des
perately , as he noted that the tortured one
failed to show any enthusiasm. "The stamps
can be made cheap. It's a good idea. I
thought it all out. "
"Improve on the Idea and we'll adopt It , "
said the manager , coldly. "Invent a chicken
with the stamp attachment so thai every
egg she lays will be marked without all the
trouble of buying the rubber stamp and
we'll buy a number of the hens. "
That day was a good one for gastronomic
advertising , for following the visit of the
egg man came -waiter In a club , who ex
hibited a tiny bit of wood. "Il's a butter
pat , " he said. "Cents only 4 cents each.
The Idea is to have the hotels and clubs sup
plied -with It , for It stamps on each butter
pat the words "Panamerlcan Exposition. "
and above that Is the advertising emblem.
"It'll make a big hit. Go like wild flre. "
He did likewise and then the wildest and
most wonderful idea of all was sprung.
The Jolly Cure-.UI.
Itwas a strange-looking old man with
fishy blue eyes who called and asked per
mission to aid the exposition project.
"Come In to help ye.'J said he. "Got
something that'll make your old show go
like holy smoke. I Just want you to put
an advertisement In all the papers In the
world and In all your prospectuses and on
all your carda that I have a medicine which
will prevent anybody from ketchln' any
disease. Don't cure no disease after you'vo
once got It , but it fixes you so's you simply
can't ketch none. Now you know as well
as I do that millions of folks don't so away
from home in the summer months cos
they're afraid they'll ketch some disease.
"If they take a dose of this medicine of
mine they can't ketch none. Ki-tch the idee.
You Just advertise In all your docsymcnts
about the medicine and where my place is
and then the people won't be afraid to leave
home. They'll come to the show by mil
lions ; will look me up and git a dose of the
medicine , and then they'll be safe fer six
months , "
Other advertising schemes aa wonderful
have been freely submitted and the num
ber of aspiring wheelmen who have asked
that the exposition buy gaily decorated
wheels and start them across the country
have been many , as have been the men who
wanted to organize a championship Pan
amerlcan Base Ball team to tour South
and Central America ; a championship Pan1 1 j
american yacht to beat the Columbia and j
Shamrock , and a champion bicycle rider to | j
beat Cooper , Bald and the other speed mer- i
chants. I
In other devloua and divers manners the
exposition Is being made famous by loyal I
men , who do what they can by placing on j
gale the best "Panamerlcan cigar" that
ever was ; the finest Panamerlcan ham ,
and sides of bacon that ever grew ; the
smoothest Panamerlcan soap that ever !
boiled and the best " 10-cent Panamerlcan
dinner that ever was served.
