LINCOLN' , Oct. 21. ( Special. ) According
to the ofnrlal records of the reformers who
have held ofllco In the stnte house during
the past few years one of the most startling
ranea of misappropriation of state funds dur
ing the popocratlc administration was In thu
office of the stnte oil Inspector. This ofllco
was acknowledged by the populists to bo the
biggest snap In the mate house and when It
la fully realized that In a little over two
years tlmo J. H. Kdmlstcn , the Holcomb
appointee , was allowed to draw from the
state treasury ns expense money enough to
pay his faro four times around the world
and still have left n balance of about $200
for Incidentals , their acknowledgment will
not bo doubted.
The records In the odlco of the state oil
Inspector show that an appalling state of af
fairs existed ( hero during the term of J. H.
Edmlstcn under the Holcomb administration.
On numerous occasions his monthly vouchers
called for over $300 and for the month of
May. 1837 , his claim amounted to $413.61.
All of these claims were approved by the
governor and allowed by the auditor with
out Investigation. In fact , there apparently
was no check upon the "reform" oil Inspec
tor. During Edmlstcn's term of olllce war
rants were drawn In his name amounting to
JS.227.05. Deducting from this amount the
salary allowed by law and n balance of
$3,191.93 remains for expenses.
ThuE figures nro all taken from the rec
ord made by Edmlstcn himself nnd are still
further substantiated by the vouchers oa
lllo In the auditor's olucc. The Emiallest
amount drawn fruii the treasury by E.lmls-
ton for a single month was J217.25 and his
salary for the name month was $160.GO.
\o\v In Hail Itcpntc.
II Is because of these unwarranted drafts
on the treasury while acting the pseudo
role of a reformer that Edmlstcn Is now In
bad repute with the more conservative nnd
conscientious clement of the populist party.
It Is generally known that he rode on passes
nnd charged the state for each trip , made
cither In the discharge of his duties ns oil
Inspector or In his own private Interests
Such methods are approved by a majority
of the popocratlc officeholders at the state
house , but there Is nevertheless consider
able criticism heard from the few who
wante-d to see the populist machinery placed
In the hands of n more worthy man. As
chairman of 'the ' populist central commit
tee Mr. Edmlsten has surrounded himself
by men who countenance such methods ,
most of whom received good salaries from
the state while they are attending to the
work of the committee.
The monthly reports of Edmlsten , filed
I with the state auditor , show that a large
proportion of the trips charged to the state
were to and from Dawson county , where ho
holds a quarter cf n section of school land
upon which the lease money due the state
has not been paid for four or five years.
There arc other Instances where Edmlsten
charged to the state expenses of n trip to
Omaha and return , going from the stale
metropolis to Dawson county Instead of In
specting oil at that place , as shown by his
reports.
The following is a portion of Chairman
Edmlstcn's cxpuiso account for the month
of May , 1897 , as. copied from the statement
In his own handwriting , now on file In the
auditor's office :
Mny 2. . Ponder nnd return , fare . $ S.37
May 8 , Chappell and return . 21.21
Mny 9. Omaha , anil return . 3.30
Mny 12 , Beatrice nnd return . JM
Mny If. , Orleans nnd return . : U.2h
Mny 17 , Omaha and return . 3.3U
Total railroad faro . $15.15
Thla amount was drawn by Edmlsten for
the single month as railroad fare alone nnd
In addition to his salary , which was J2.000
per year. H Is not a very largo amount , but ,
it Is noticeable by comparing the statement
with Ills report of oil inspection that he
drew from the state $24.24 for railroad fare
to Chappell nnd return on May 8 , while on
the same day ho was In Omaha and Beaver
City Inspecting oil. Ho even reported the
Inspection of 205 barrels of oil at Beaver City
and 117 barrels at Omaha. This , of course ,
Is taken from his report , which docs not
explain how he managed to bo in the three
places on the sumo day. The expense ac
count Includes a charge of ? S.37 for a trip
to Ponder and return on May 2. The report
of oil Inspection for the same month shows
thnt on that day ho Inspected 117 barrels of
oil In Grand Island and IIS barrels In Lin
coln. It would also bo Interesting to know
why Mr. Edmisten drew rsllroad fare for
round trips to Pendcr and Chappell and not
for the trips mentioned In the following re
port of oil Inspection for the same month ,
the dates being given In the order written by
Mr. Edmlsten :

Henrt trouble , nt least among the Ameri
cans , Is certainly Increasing and while this
may bo largely due to the excitement and
worry of American business life , It is moro
ofttMi the result of weak stomachs of poor
digestion.
Heal organic dleraso Is Incurable ; but not
ono cnso In a hundred of heart trouble Is
organic.
The close- relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion Is because both organs
nro controlled by the same great nerved , the
Sympathetic nnd PncumoKustrlc.
In another way also the heart Is affectec !
hytho form of poor digestion , which causes
gas and fermentation from half dlgesttn :
food. There Is a feeling of oppression am !
heaviness In the chest caused by pressur
ot the distended stomacii on the heart ami
lunnu , Interfering with their notion ; heiic
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood
making It thin and watery , which Irritate :
nnd weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for dear
trouble Is to Improve the digestion nnd to
Insure < lie prompt assimilation of food.
r , . This can bo donn by the regular use after
meals of some safe , pleasant and effective
dlgretlvo preparation like Stuart's Dyspcp-
ela Tablets , which may be found at most
drug stores and which contain valuable ,
harmless digestive elements In a pleasant ,

It is safe to say that the regular persist

and Jo Edmlittcn's bidding.
Telephone Cnae.
llrlefs on the motion for n rehearing ot
the case of the Nebraska Telephone com
pany against Auditor Cornell and the State
Hoard of Transportation were ( lied in the
supreme court today by W. W. Moraninn ot
Omaha. This case ulll be remembered as
the ono In which the constitutionality of. j
the Hoard ot Transportation wns contested. I
It was taken to the supreme court on the \ 1
refusal of the district court to grant nn
order restraining the board from taking nny
action on the complaint of John O. Yelscr ,
who sought to have telephone rates reduced.
The decision of the supreme court held
that the petition did not contain averments
showing prounds for equitable relief. The
Important constitutional questions argued
uerc not considered and the substantial
rights of the parties were left wholly un
decided. The rehearing Is asked for on the
grounds of alleged error In the decision.
The brief refers separately to each of the
allegations In the petition nnd nrguos thnt
they were- such as to warrant a decision on
constitutional grounds. Attorney Morsm.in
pointedly Intimates thnt the supreme Judges
evaded the renl question nt Issue. Follow
ing arc two extracts from the brief :
What more systematic nnd methodical
outr.-iRe cnn there be by one mini on mi-
other's rights than a usurpation unilor
color of otllclal authority like that threat
ened and Imminent In the case nt bnr. In
stigated and not In motion , too , by nn In
dividual , crazy with theories or prompted ,
If you please , by malice.
Wrongful acts by public olllccrw , nctlng
without any authority , but under color of
law , are mor < ; Injurious to , and destructive
of , private rights , than simple aeta of In
dividuals. It Is trim the acts threatened
by the tlefemlants In this case may not
produce Intimidation of persons , but It Is
not necessary to the right to relief of this
character that It should be. Intlmldiitlon
entitles a plaintiff to relief , not bccnuic It
Is Intimidation , but because It Is produced
by a wrtmKful net , tending .to Injure , the
ilamiiRo of which cannot be adequately
compensated. In the case nt Imr the
threatened action of thesedetpmlunts is
clearly a continuing ineiuico to the appel
lants' business and nn unwarranted Inter
ference With the tree exerelso of private
rights. It will be a standing Invitation and
assurance to appellant's patrons to repudi
ate existing contracts , to refuse to enter
Into new contracts , and tends to impair
appellant's rights to Irecly contract , nnci
to destroy that harmony and goodwill be

urged upon the people the duty and neces
sity of supporting administration until

Auditorium.
Dy far the greatest attraction at the Ex
position during the past week has been the
music , which has drawn very large crowds
every night and has proven that It was a
happy thought on the part of Dnndmaator
Dcllstodt when ho arranged the International
festival week , /or every concert was largely
attended nnd most enthusiastically received.
After an engagement extending over ten
weeks the organization drew as great crowds
ns when It first appenred and the enthusiasm
was as great If not greater. The success
of the band must In a measure redound In
a complimentary manner to the people of
Omnha , for It goes to prove that they llko
good music that Is , the very best by the
greatest composers for the programs of the
week were far from being light nnd trashy.
In fact , were made up of music that Is
usually thought to be uninteresting to the
general public , and thus again Is the theory
exploded that people desire cheap nnd flashy
compositions. One secret of the success was ,
of course. In the playing , for If the great
things tendered had been poorly presented
they would have fallen flat. The longer
the band remains the more wonderful seems
Us capacities under the leadership of Mr.
Bollslcdt. The effects produced by a mili
tary band nre of necessity limited and many
feel that the elusive delicacies of some of
the best music cannot bo portrayed by such
an organization , but Mr. Uellstedt has dem
onstrated that ho can do almost anything
with the band , even play things with great
smoothness and beauty that would seem
Insurmountable to anything but a symphony
orchestra.
The ensemble playing of the band Is al
most perfect the Instruments blending like
the tone of a great organ. The tone colorIng -
Ing of the band Is delicate and soft and Is
as perfect ns the diffusing colors In a pastel
painting. The pianissimo passages In which
nre shewn the true ability of a band are
carried through steadily and with a perfect
evenness , and the greatest elasticity Is ex
hibited In the sudden jumping from the more
delicate strains to forte passages of tre
mendous noise and sound.
To give color nnd variety to the perform
ance soloists are Introduced at different
times and , without exception , the verdict
of the public was flatteringly favorable.
Among those who took solo parts were Emlle
Chcvrc , flute nnd piccolo ; Alfred Doucet ,
oboe ; Anthony Qultsow and Jacob Bohrer ,
clarinet ; Emll Kopp , James Llewellcn and
Charles B. Jones , cornet ; Leopold de Mare ,
French horn ; Victor Elnhorn , euphonium ;
Gustav Burkhnrdt , baritone ; Otto Gebhardt
nd A. Huster , trombone ; William Bcll-
tedt , bells ; Max Nlckell , drum , nnd last
iut not least , Herman Hellstedt , who has
been called the klnp of the cornet , who has
never failed to bring out tremendous en-
Inislasm whenever he has appeared.
The range of composers whose music has
) ccn Interpreted during the week has been
something phenomenal , reaching from such
masters of dignity as Beethoven , Haydn
landel and Mozart down through a long
Ine of Illustrious composers such as Wng-
icr , Schubert , Schumann , Liszt , Chopin
Gounod , Salnt-Saens , AVeber and Massenet
ind such popular men of today as Sousa
Herbert , Hill and Bellstcdt.
Captain Louis Sorcho. the deep sea diver
was given a gold medal by the executive
committee of the exposition Saturday night
ilo now holds the world's record for th
longest dive , ho having gone hm own rccori
ono .better while at the big enow this sum
moT , remaining under water for eight hottr
the best previous time having been made by
himself. Mr. Clabaugh of the committee
made the presentation speech , and he did It
gracefully and was given enthusiastic ap
plause. Ho began by recounting the work
done by the captain In recovering the bodies
from the wreck of the Malno that they might
bo burled In consecrated ground.
"It gives mo much pleasure , " said Mr.
Clabaugh , "to present this medal to the cap-
tnln , and I hope It will recall pleasant mem
ories to him of the White City when It has
become but a pleasant dream alas , a night
mare to many of us and because it shows
that under the water or over the water
Americans cannot bo beaten. The medal Is
beautifully engraved and was presented In
a handsome case.
Saturday was children's day , nnd from
morning till night the White City resounded
with the merry laughter of boye and girls
who thoroughly enjoyed the many attrac
tions afforded them free of charge by the
management of the exposition. Many
of the children were accompanied
by their parents and the crowds were
rnther larger than common all day long. In
the evening the largest attendance that has
been nt the big show for a long tlmo went
out to listen to the culminating concert In
the festival arranged by Mr. Bellstcdt. The
Auditorium was packed full and after every
bit of the available seating apace ? was oc
cupied many stood through the program. The
fact that music by American composers waste
to be exploited by the band was the reason
of the big attendance and every number
given was received with applause nt the be

The nnswer of Cadet Taylor , Henry 0.
Dcvrlcu nnd the Olnbo Loan and Trust com
pany In the suit of JUIIIVH \Veckcrly , u
dopcfiltor In the defunct ( Jlnlio Savings bank , |
has been filed in thu district court. The '
plaintiff , by his attorneys , .Mefwrs. Wnkelcy j
& Coolcy , sued on a bond given by Taylor I !
nnd Ih-vrles when they were allowed by j
the Ftato Dnnklng board to taku charge of
the acrats of the Glr.bu Savings bank to nd-
mlnister them. The defenses to the action i
nro the Invalidity of the bond nnd the ex- J I
istcnco of several unnatlslled Judgment ) ! said
to bu lions on the nsscta and to have pre
vented thulr s > alu.
The principal defenfa , however , Is Hint
respecting the binding force of the bond |
which Taylor and Dcvrlra , na olllcurs of 1
the bank , themselves nave to proicct ilo-
pnHltors anil otht-r creditors. Thu aiiHWur
of the ik'fcnilants admits the making of
the bond in the mini of $50.000 , the con
dition of which wns that Dovrlra nnd Taylor ,
president and vlcu president of tlui bunk ,
uliould retain the assets anil miiko full ( set
tlement with depositors and all other cred
itors within thrco years. The objection
that the defendants raluo to the cnforccmont
of the bond IB , to Hay the least , miuxuul.
It Is that the defendants have not been
nblo to fulfill the bowl because the assets
did not como Into their possession , but that
Taylor as nn Individual took the property
and that they have therefore been unable
to sc-ulo thu liabilities of thu bank. On
thlo point the aimwer filed reads as follows :
"Hut In fact the nssotf , nor any portion
thereof , were ever turned over to- paid II.
O. Dovrlcs aH president nnd Cadet Taylor
as vlco president of said Olobn Havings
banK but were in trinh turned over by
order of the clerk of the State Hanking board
to uno Cadet Taylor , nnd the aHiuts nor
any part of came has over como Into pos
session of sal'l ofllccrB named In said bond
nnd for whose actions tlicso aurctlui became
bound. That Bald officers named In Bald
bond never obtained profession of siild as-
sola nor have they retained the pruscsslon
of any part thereof. Those defendant ad
mit that C. I' . McOrow was statn hank ex
aminer and that as such ho took possession
ot old Olobo Saving bank PH alleged nnd
under the order ef said clerk rf eald banking :
board , ho turned nil the assets of the bank
over to ono Cadet Taylor , but not to the
! ntllcera named In eald bond , as by the 1
terms of raid bond was required , and the i
afneta never have c-imc Into possession
ot said officers. That by reason ot the 1
failure to comply with the requirements
and conditions contained In said bond In
not turning the assets , moneys anil prop
erty over to said II. O. Dovrlrc * JIH presi
dent nnd Cadet Tnylor ns vlco president
of said bank , these defendants are not lia
ble nnd never became liable on said bond
unto the plaintiff. "
Tim nnswer goes on to enumerate Boms
of the unsatisfied judgments existing against
the bank and the claims of the holders of
those that they nro Hens on the property
of the bank , by reason ot which clnlm the
offlcors ns trustees have not been nhlo to
administer the nffalrs of the bank ,
A noticeable feature of the answer Is
that the attorney by whom It Is signed
on behalf of the defendants , A. S. Churchill ,
was n member of the Stnto Hanking board
nt the tlmo the bond now claimed by him
to be worthless wa accepted and approved ,
and thnt he as attorney Koneral advised
the board to accept the bond. A.
certified copy of the minute * ! of the mcct-
Ing at which the application nnd bond of
Cadet Tnylor were passed upon and nn nr-
der Issued to the hank examiner to turn
over to him all the assets Is attached to
the answer and shown that A. S. Churchill ,
now Taylor's attorney , was present. In
the minutes Cadet Tnylor Is mentioned
dimply by name and not OH nn officer of
the bank. It Is on this technical omission of
hlti title that hc < IB denying the validity
of his own bond.
