Regarding the chicory bounty appropria
tion State Auditor Cornell has written'to 31.
F. Harrington ns follows :
LINCOLN , Aug. 2 , 1899. M. P. Harring
ton. O'Neill , Neb. : Dear Sir Your letter
relating to the chicory bounty appropria
tion received and read with much interest.
The legislature of 1895 enacted a law pro
viding a bounty on chicory manufactured
from beets raised In the state , provided
the manufacturers paid the producers of
the beets $10.50 per ton and the chicory test
ed 99 per cent pnro chicory. See session laws
of 1895 , house roll 67 , section vi , page 61.
It seems clear that the Intention of the
legislature of 1S95 was to make the producers
of the chicory beets the beneficiaries of the
bounty and was so understood by the manu
facturers , as Is evidenced by the contracts
entered into with the farmers , which pro
vided $9 a ton without the bounty and $10.50
if tbo bounty was pnld. There is no evi
dence furnished this otflco by the chicory
company to the effect that It paid $10.50 n.
ton for chicory beets. The company admits
it did not , but claims arrangements are now
made to pay the farmers $1.50 per ton for
all beets sold to the company during the
period for which they claim the bounty
and for which the farmers only received
$9 per ton. The legislature of 1899 appro ,
printed to the American Chicory company
$17,840.23. Mr. Sawyer and others protested
against Issuing the warrant on the grounls
that the bounty raw Is unconstitutional.
This conclusion is based on the fact that
the bill contains more than one subject and
designated the secretary of state as the offi
cer to adjust and audit claims. Waiving the
question of the constitutionality of the law
the protestors contend that the American
Chicory company did not comply with the
provisions of the law by not paying $10.r > 0
per ton for beets , therefore are not entitled
to 'the bounty , they cite the act that the
auditor is a quasi-judicial ofllccr and that
the responsibility of adjusting claims resta
entirely with him , and that the legislature
has no authority under tbo constitution to
audit and allow claims. Thoao who advise
the issuing of the warrants argue that the
legislature can Icgatly appropriate the pee
ple's money for any purpose they see fit.

the auditor In tbls nnd similar esses In Rim *
ply ministerial he hng no rlpht to question
a clnlm allowed by the legislature.
This Argument Is based upon the decision
of the United States supreme court referred
to In your letter , also on the decision of
our own supreme court In the Scotts Ilfuff
county case , hence their contention whether
the law Is constitutional or not the American
Chicory company Is entitled to the total
amount of the appropriations. According to
their argument the same would be true It
there had never been nny bounty law en-
acted. If this view of the case la correct
the legislature of 1S09 donated to the Amer
ican Chicory company J17.S40.23. The money
belongs to the company nnd the producers
have no legal clnlm on any part of It and
must depend upon the goodness In the heart
of the company for whatever share they re
ceive. , ,
I agree with you , the bounty was prom
ised by the legislature of 1S9S nnd the prom
ise ought to bo kept. In my report 1 rec
ommended the payment of bounties earned
by our people under the bounty la a of the
Rtate , nnd If the legislature had mndo an
appropriation to pay the producers of chic
ory beets $1.50 n ton for the beets sold to
the chicory company nnd for which they re
ceived only $9 per ton , there would be no
hesitation on the pnrt of this office In Issu
ing the warrants on the presentation of the
proper vouchers. Any suggestions from you
will be gladly received. Very truly ,
J. P. gOHNEMi , Auditor.

WILBUR P. BRYANT ,
Deputy Insurance Commissioner.
The Hoyal Oaks Insurance company of
Omaha has been licensed by Auditor Cornell.
Deputy Insurance Coramlseloner Bryant re
fused to license this company several weeks
ngo because It had not the required number
of members for a fraternal Insurance permit.
A commlttco of members of the State His
torical society was at the capital today tryIng -
Ing to Induce Auditor Cornell to allow the
claim of C. H. Barnard of Palls City for
$1,500 for expenses of the society. This the
auditor refused to do on the ground that
the legislative appropriation was not specific.
The mnttor was referred to the attorney
gcner-l , who will make a recommendation
to the auditor.
Lincoln Loon ! Notes.
The third annual nssemhly of the Ep
worth League of Nebraska opened under the
most nusplclous circumstances at Lincoln
park near this city tonight. The program
consisted of nn nddress to the visitors by
President L. 0. Jones nnd a musical concert
by the Kentucky Colonels , nn organization
of colored Jubilee singers. The attendance
Is not only considerably larger than last
year , but It has already exceeded the ex
pectations of the officers of the league.
Nearly 600 tents have been erected within
the limits of the park , each ono accommo
dating from ono to four people. Lincoln
park , with Its hundreds of whlto houses ,
resembles much the Camp Saunders of last
year , where the two Nebraska regiments
were camped for several weeks. The growth
In popularity of the annual assemblies ot
the Epworth league has been somewhat re
markable , when It will be remembered that
the first meeting was held during the hard
times period. The attendance has Increased
each year and It Is expected that each meet
ing of the present assembly will ba attended
by from 2,000to 4,000 people. Lincoln park
furnishes an Ideal camping place for the
league. Nearly all the tenta have teen
pitched under Immense shade trees , giving
campers excellent protection from the sun.
An amphitheater , with a seating capacity
of over 2,000 , has been constructed on an
open tract , the stage and seats being cov
ered overhead with canvas. '
A levy of 38 mlllfl.will be made on taxable
property In > the ! city for the expenses ot
maintaining the city government and dis
charging debts. The levy Is divided among
the various funds as follows : General , 10
mills ; Interest , 10 mills ; flro department , 5
mills ; Intersection paving , 3 % mills ; water
department , 2 mills ; sewer construction nnd
repair , 2 mills ; police department , 3 mills ;
judgments , 1 % mills ; city library , 1 mill. It
Is the Intention of the city council to rush
through an occupation tax , which will In
clude professional men. If this is done the
amount derived therefrom will be large
enough. It Is thought , to make up the de
ficiency in the flro and police funds.
Chairman H. C. Russell of the program
committee for the Grand Army reunion has
about completed the order of exercises for
reunion week. The committee has invited
President McKlnley to come nnd It Is be
lieved If he decides to take a trip through
the west he will bo preeent nt the recep
tion for the First Nebraska volunteers. Con
gressmen Hepburn and Henderson of Iowa
and Congressman James B. Belford of Col
orado are also expected. The Indications
point to a large attendance. The reunion
will bo held at the old state fair grounds
September 11 to 16.
A meeting of people who were admirers of
Robert J. Ingersoll will be held In this city
tomorrow evening. The purpose Is to make
nrrangnmenta for suitably commemorating

After considering the mnttrr tor some time
Armour & Co , decided yesterday to proceed
at once with the erection of a nine-story cold
storage warehouse. Plans for this bulld'ng '
\vvr - drawn some tlrao ago , but for \arlous
r * ? ons nti'lio building operation * we-c post
poned. More cooling room Is now absoMely
nci-e. sjry and General Manager Howe stated
yesterday that the work of excavating would
commence as soon us some pface was found
where the dirt couM be dumped. Mr. Howe
thinks that gf.iiing will bo begun the latter
j < ari of this week
The structure will bo of brick , with a
ftontago on Q u'rcet of 184 feet nn I a Oept'j
of 100 foot. This building will occupy the
space where , the machine shop now stands ,
r.ud also all of the vacant space between tno
bos factory and the Swift runway. A small
strip of 'and had to bo secured from the
stock yards company , and the transfer of this
property jvas arranged yesterday. There Is
to be a cellar ten feet In depth under the
entire building and It Is estimated that 1.r > 00
carloads of dirt wllr have to be taken out In
order to provide for this cellar and the
foundations.
As to the cost of this Immense warehouse
General Manager Howe declined to state , but
it was learned from other sources that $250-
OUO Is the price to bo paid for the bulld--
Ing. Hocheford & Gould of Omaha , the con-
ti.ictora who erected the Armour plant here ,
will put up the new building. It Is ex
pected that the structure will be under roof
before real cold weather sets In.
This Immense building will have a capacity
of 30,000,000 pounds of meat. The machine
shop , which .Is a frame structure , Is to betaken
taken apart In sections and moved to the
west end of the ptant.
Considerable dlfllculty IB being experienced
lu finding a suitable place to dump so much I
dirt. Vnless some place can be found to the j '
south of the plant whore the dirt can bo
hauled by teams , It will be loaded upon cars
and taken to the north part of the stock
yardt property.
The erection of such an Immense ware
house hero leads to the belief that Armour
& Co. propose to niako South Omaha one of
the greatest live stock markets In the coun
try. When active building operations are
commenced there will be work for several
hundred men , as the construction will bo
rushed In order to have the 'building ' under
cover before winter sets In.
Gnu I'MxtiircN for I'ontolllcc Arrive.
The gas fixtures for the new postofflco
building arrived yesterday and the placing
of them In position will be commenced soon.
Llglil has been furnished temporarily by
the local electric light company , but the
Thomson-Hou&ton company of Omaha has
the contract for furnishing electric lights In
the building and also power to operate the
electric stamp cancelling machine. The gas
used will bo supplied by the Omaha Gas
company. It will bo some time , before tlio
stamp cancelling machine will bo In opera
tion , as Itlias not yet arrived , and the
Omaha lighting company has not completed
Us line of poles Into this city. Poles are
new . -being set by this company on Twenty-
third"street. . At D street the line will run
west to Twenty-fifth , nnd will reach the
postotllco by the rear of the building. The
finishing touches are now being placed on
thn bulldlne. and It Is expected that the
final Inspection will take place within the
next few days.
AnxlotiN for Street Hcimlrn.
The city officials are anxious for the
Grant Paving company to commence work
on the repairs to Twenty-fourth street. Al
though the contract was awarded ten days
ago It has not been signed up yet. JInyor
Ensor stated yesterday thatho was ready
to sign the document any time It was pre
sented to Trim. He cannot understand the
delay unless the paving company is holding
back on account of the gas company. The
Grant Paving company Is to repair the
damage done to the pavement by the gas
company , and It le likely that the gas people
ple do not want the work commenced until
all of the connections are made. Several
extremely dangerous holes have been worn
in the pavement , and It Is feared by the
city officials that an accident will occur
unless these holes are repaired without de
lay.

pected that ho will bo bound over.
