LINCOLN , Aug. 7. ( Special. ) The last
week has been on anxious one for various
members of the fusion forces. It has been
over a week now since ex-Governor Silas
llolcomb has written a letter to the public
on the Investigating committee , and during
this tlmo ho has had the displeasure of
seeing his last communication picked to
pieces and criticised by the press all over
the Rtato. Governor I'ojnter has returned
from his somewhat famous trip to the coast
to welcome the members of the gallant
First , feeling much better after the trying
ordeal he has gone through and with a de
termination to hereafter show the Nebraska
fighters all the respect possible. It re
quired a good deal of nerve and determina
tion to face the returning soldiers after he
had signed the veto of the resolution ex
pressing thanks to the regiment , but his in
tention was to show that ho no longer enter
tained any Ill-feeling toward them. The
return of the regiment affords an excellent
opportunity for the governor to square mat
ters and. it is not at all surprising that
ho took advantage of it. Governor Poyntcr
has changed his sentiments somewhat re
garding the reception that is being arranged
for the soldiers and Is now favoring the
plan. However , In this matter the governor
will bo as conservative as possible , and
while ho will assist somcAvhat ho will still
maintain that it Is gotten up as a partisan
affair.
The friends of Governor Poynter and his
colleagues at the state house were very
much chagrined at the publication in the
San Francisco newspapers that he was in
California simply as a political agent and
not purely to welcome the regiment as the
representative of the whole people of Ne
braska. All reports fro mtho coast have
been eagerly read and re-read at the state
house slnco Governor Poynter and the ad
jutant general arrived on the ground and it
Is needless to say that most of them were
disappointing. It was generally realized
T ft that the period was a critical one and that
the events connected with the arrival of
the regiment and the attltudo assumed by
the troops toward the governor meant much
to the fusion forces.
AVlmt'H I" it flfnmcf
The fact that the Nebraska camp wis
V named after the governor has been pointed
to with a great deal of satisfaction by tno
people around the statei offices. This , It has
been argued , is an Indication ! of the feeling
of the Nebraska boys toward the governor.
It is very evident from thcso remarks that
it Is the Intention to capture the \oto of the
regiment for the fusion ticket by appeals
and grandstand plays of various sorts. The
mad rush of the chief executive and two
ofllcers of the National Guard to the coast
to "arrange the details for mustering out
the regiment" Is characteristic ot the crowd.
The dispatches received from San Francisco
fall to Btato that General Barry accomplished
anything in the way of arranging details.
Tho1 day after ho arrived ho reported that
the condition of the Oregon troops was
much better that ho expected and that they
wore recelvlnc coed care. He followed this
by an appeal to the people for chest pro
tectors. These were the details ho and
Colonel Stark went to California at the
state's expense to arrange. The naming of
a military camp is the prerogative of the
commanding officer In every instance , and
it Is a very weak argument to say that the
name of the Nebraska camp is an Indication
of the personal political sentiments ot the
troops themselves.
No pains will bo spared by the citizens of
Lincoln In arranging for the reception to
the First regiment. The women who will
supply the soldiers with food during their
stay in the city have completed an elabo
rate menu , and all meals will bo prepared
by them and served on tables. Governor
Poyntor has stated since his return from
the coast that the Second regiment of ths
Nebraska National Guard will be ordered to
Lincoln to act as an eecort for the First
regiment. In the parade there wilt bo vet
erans of the civil war , veterans of the Span
ish and Philippine ( wars and soldiers com
prising the state militia who have seen no
active service. It has not been determined
whether the Second regiment will hold its
annual encampment in this city or at some
other point.
Of the olxty-slx civil and staff appoint
ments made oy Governor Pojnter thirty-
four went to the populists , twenty-five to
the democrats , four to the free sliver re
publicans , two to the republicans and one
to a prohibitionist. One of the republicans
appointed , C. C. Caven of Crawford , was
removed Immediately after his commission
as member of the brand and mark commis
sion was written. The cause given was that
ho woe not an owner of live stock as ro-
qulr d of all members of the board. It has
elnce been discovered that his successor
is the owner ot a mule , enabling htm 10
class himself as a live stock owner.
The State Board of Equalization has gone
through with its annual farce In making the
state assessment , which falls several hundred
dollars below the total of the legislative ap
propriations. The returns from the differ
ent counties were accepted by the board
about as they were received , no attempt beIng -
Ing made to equalize the assessment. A
levy of 5 mills was made against all taxable
property for the peneral fund and 1 mill for
the university , the latter having been pro
vided for by the legislature. The assessed
valuation exceeds the valuation of last > car
by over $1,000,000. This year the valuation
ila $169,103,071 ; in 1898 It was $167,810,764.79
and in 1897 It was $165,193,736.42.
There are several people employed at the
state house who ore anxious to know what
course the state auditor will pursue regarding -
ing the allowance ot their claims for ualary.
These are Deputy Insurance Commissioner
Bryant and Chief Clerk Hlldebrand. a ste
nographer and Deputy Food Commissioner
Hlbbard and Ills clerk. Wright. None of
these men have filed thdlr vouchers with the
auditor yet , but It Is understood that all ol
them will bo rejected. Auditor Cornell has
stated that ho thought there was no ap
propriation for the salary of the deputy food
commissioner or his clerk. As the constitu
tionality of the act creating the new lnnur-
Once department has been disputed by ttie
Ctato auditor the claims of the deputy com
mUsloner and his clerks will , of course , be
rejected. Auditor Cornell's ground for re
fusing to Usuo warrants for the salary o :
employes of the food commission Is that the
appropriation Is not specific. The law cre
ating tula commission provides for an an
nual appropriation for salaries and other ex
penses , but the general appropriation bll
makes no provision for such. Auditor Cornel
holds that all expenditures of the Btat (
money must be provided for in the genera
appropriation bill.

CHICORY CI.AIH is AM.OWED.
D. n. Ilnlch of Oninlin Will nintrllmlc
17,8 tO.2i : AnintiK the I'riiiluccrn.
LINCOLN , Aug. 7. ( Special. ) State Audi-
or Cornell today allowed the claim ot the
American Chicory company for $17,840.23 ,
ho amount appropriated by the last leglsla-
urc. This cfnlm has been hanging In the
jalanco in the auditor's ofllco for several
weeks , but no action regarding It was taken
brcauso of an uncertainty ns to whether it
vas the Intention of the legislature to benefit
the chicory bcot producers or the manufac-
urer. According to the terms of settlement
ho money allowed today will be paid to B.
E. Balch of Omaha , who will distribute a
rortlon of It among the producers who have
sold boots to the company ,
The chicory company , which operates fac-
orles at Omaha and Fremont , has been buy-
ng beets from producers under an agreement
whereby It "was topay each person from
whom it has purchased beets $1.50 additional
'or ' each ton bought , conditional on the ap
propriation by the legislature. The prlco
icr ton Is $10 50 and the chicory company
ias paid $9 for each ton purchased. A
ecord of all pereons from whom beets have
icon purchased has been kept and the ad
ditional $1.50 per ton will be distributed by
Mr. Balch. Between $12,000 and $13000 Is
duo the farmers under this agreement.
In the appropriation made by the legisla
ture no reference was made as to what the
money -nas for. The Hera was contained In
the general appropriation bill and simply
read : "American Chicory company , $17-
840 23. "
The misunderstanding commenced in 1896.
According to the act ot the legislature of
the year previous the Bum of 1 cent was
o 'bo paid for every pound of chicory used
jy any company In the state. In the fol-
owlng years the American Chicory com
pany started operations at Fremont. It
entered Into a large number of contracts
with the farmers of different portions of the
state. Ono of the provisions of the law
was that at least $10 50 per ton should he
paid by the companies. In this way con
tacts wore made for 1,694,165 pounds of
chicory to bo used at Fremont and 343,7.i5
pounds to t > o used at O'Neill. It was the
sum between nvhat had ibcen paid by the
company at the time that the contract had
been made and the 110.50 fixed by law that
caused delay. The state claimed that the
company had not lived up to Its contract
and therefore did not como in for the bounty
until it < 11 < 1 so.
D. E. Thompson has asked the State
Board of Irrigation for a rehearing In the
case of the Seymour Park Canal and Power
company against tha Fremont Canal and
Power company. Mr. Thompson le not di
rectly interested in cither of the companies ,
but ho has filed an application for permis
sion to construct a canal parallel with the
Fremont canal. The name of the canal
which is planned by Mr. Thompson Is the
Lilnwood. Ho proposes to have It thirty-
seven miles long , from which ho will Irri-
; ate the surrounding country. In the hear-
ng that was given some time ago State En-
giaeer Wilson held that the Fremont com
pany could construct Its canal according to
certain specifications. Mr. Thompson now
states that If the company is allowed to
construct its canal according ( to the specifi
cations It will not only have twice as much
water as it will use , but that it will also
lave more than can be found In the Platte
'or many months In the year. He further
alleges that the Fremont oompany has not
acted In good faith.
It is said in defense of the plan con
ceived by Secretary Porter of distributing
copies of the session laws stamped with
the words : ' Compliments of W. F. Porter ,
secretary of state , " that the law specifies to
whom the bound copies ot the laws shall
bo distributed and that all copies sent out
through the courtesy of the office must
therefore be stamped to show that they are
not official gifts. The law requires the
secretary of state to send a specified number
of the laws to each county clerk In the state
and to the state library , but no mention Is
made ot sending them out promiscuously to
political friends. Whether they ore official
gifts cr gifts of the secretary of state all
copies of the laws are paid for by tbo tax
payers.
Governor Poynter was beuleged by poli
ticians and campaign managers all day. A
large delegation was down from Omaha
headed by Leo Herdman. These men attach
much political significance to tbo western
trip of the chief executive , and all were
anxious to bear of the results.
The salary claims of the employes and
officers ot the Insurance and pure food de
partments have not been filed with the state
auditor. As these men are all under the
direction of the governor their claims must
ot course be signed by him. On account of
the other pressing business that demanded
the attention of the governor today the
claims were not presented for his signature.
They will probably be signed and filed with
the auditor tomorrow and there Is but little
doubt iu to the course the auditor will
pursue regarding them. As the constitu
tionality of the Weaver act is still disputed
by him bo will of course refuse to allow
any claim for salary filed under Us pro
visions. The claims of the deputy food
commissioner and his clerk will probah'.y be
disallowed on the ground that the appropria
tion was not specific.
Burton W. Blvens of the First Nebraska
arrived In Lincoln last evening. He is one
of Wio men who were discharged at Manila
before the regiment started for home. He
was accompanied by Herman Stern of the
tame regiment.
Quite a number of letters received here
give accounts of the chilly reception ac
corded to Governor Pojnter by the First
regiment at San Francisco. It is said thai
the governor did not visit any of the ofilcerc
of the regiment except a few favorites and
that he did not go to see any of the pri
vates. Tbo stir made by Adjutant General
Barry about the need of chest protectors for
the soldiers is treated , U is said , as a joke
and scarcely any of the men would wear
them.

by the vessel the situation In Guatemala
Is not nearly so warlike as reported und
a comparatively peaceful state of affairs
exists. The government has not been un
necessarily unjust in dealing with political
offenders and , though the country is in bad
shape financially , there is every reason to
suppose that a continuation of peace will
adjust matters. There have been no polit
ical executions except where conspirators
have been caught red-handed In the act ot
trying to cause a revolution.
