The canvassing board nearly completed
Iodr and trying labor yesterday after
noon as the voto of the llr.al county pre
cinct was called from tho election ofllclals'
tally sheet and recorded In the abstract
book. Tho canvass bad occupied four and
half days, with evening sessions added.
With tho count llnlshcd tho board was
preparing to begin upon the footings when
a controversy regarding tho Klrst precinct
of tho Kirst ward brought tho proceedings
to a halt. The board wa3 notified that tin
Injunction bad been prayed for to prevent
tho First district being Included In the
totals.
The bearing was set for 9 o'clock this
morning beforo Judgo Dickinson and tin
board adjourned until tho point was dis
posed of. Tho petition presented In be
half of the republican candidates scut
forth that tho signatures of tho precinct
election officials failed to appear In tho
tally book as prescribed by law. Thcro
as therefore no legal evidence that au
thorized onlclals, duly appointed and sworn,
had fulfilled tho duty. It will be submitted
to tho court whether a tally book, uncerti
fied and unsigned, Is worthy of bolng con
sidered. Tho board was engaged during the nfter
Moon with tho last two wards of South
Omaha, which wore In legible form an com
pared with the Second. At tho conclu
sion of tho canvaB3 tho result stood sub
stantially uh shown by tho tmofllelal tabu

delegation and nn statement would bo &c

Illumlrrn from ?nulli Umnhn.
The board waa occupied during the
morning with tho returns of tho First
ward, South Omaha, tho slow progress
being duo to tho alio of tho precincts nnd
to tho Incompetency of tho election ofll
1 clals. Tho unfitness of thu Judges and
dorks was particularly manifest In the
Second district, where tho scorers had sadly
bungled tho tnsk of setting down tallies.
On tho legislative ticket tho votes Tor
UurcHh, leading tho republican ticket, had
been recorded acrosu tho page, while tho
candidates below him on both sides were
ubanduced with Intervening spares for from
fifty to soventy check marks still remain
ing. On the next pago, however, all the
candidates bcran evenly In tbo spneo sot
apart for tho 200th tally.
A dlsputo arose as to whether tho offl
cluls had really opened and counted ballots
corresponding to tho vacant spaces or had
meant tho tallies to be counted as set down.
Tho board had In tho beginning established
tbo rulo that tho abstract should be rnado
up from tho tallies and not from tho
certified roturns, as tho former was consid
ered the best evidence. Tho only variance
made from the rulo has been In tho Second
district of the Third ward, whero only n
liulf-ilo.cn tallies were set down and the
certified return waa manifestly correct.
After a long controversy tho board decided
to continue tho practice of the rulo In this
case, as tho tally was not lu Its opinion
obviously Incorrect.
The result of tho change was not Im
portant, except In tho caso of liuresh, as
nil tho legislative candidates suffered alike,
losing from llfty to seventy votes. As
Ilurcsh was not affected by the general sub
traction, ho scored a virtual gain of
evenly votes, although he had no need of
thorn as high mail nn tho ticket.

HEARING ENDS ABRUPTLY
Oasa of State Against Omaha Nationul Bank
Nearly Orer,
DEFENSE INTRODUCES NO TESTIMONY
Decides to Let Cnsr (Jo to Jury on
Urldenee Siiliinlttcd br Wit
nees fur (lie Prose
cution, The hearing In tho caso of the State
against thu Omaha National bank was
brought to an end somewhat sooner than
was expected, owing to thu defense's omit
ting to introduce tisttmoay other than that
ttcurid on tho cross-examination of tho
state's witnesses. Attorney General Smyth
uec ceiled In having accepted ns a part of
the evidence thu warrant which the court
excluded at tho closo of tho Wednesday
stbtlon. To do this it was necessary to
recall William Wallace, tho cashier of tho
bank, to ask him to make explanations
lending pertinence und materiality to cer
tain indorsements on tho warrant objected
to by tho bank's nttorncy. The proceed
ing took up most ot the tlmo during the
morning.
Immediately after tho paper waB admitted
tho attorney general told tho court tho
statu would rest Its case. Thn counsel for
tho defendant held a caucus. Tho result
was a decision to let the caso go to thu
Jury on such evidence as was already bo-
foro it. Judgo linker Informed tho at
torneys that an hour for arguments would
be allowed. Assistant Attorney General
Oldham discussed tho evidence from tho
standpoint of the state, explaining to tho
Jurors his contention that tho umaha Na
tional bank, by cashing tho check which
former Stato Treasurer Hartley gnvo In
payment of tho $201,000 warrant, made ltsult
llablo for tho entire sum, although there
tt.ay have been no criminal Intent on tho
part of tho olllclals who negotiated the
transaction. Attorney lid Smith empha
sized for tho plaintft the legal phaso of the
allegation that tho warrant was n bogus
ono nnd consequently the bank's negotia
tions drew on tho oftlclals tho liability for
tho state's loss.
Attorney Conncll was the single ono of
the bank's counsel to speak beforo tho noon
recess. Ho tried to Impress upon tho Jury
that lu helping to carry on negotiations for
tbo sale of tho warrant the bank had done
a commendable act, because it came to tho
aid of tho stato at a tlmo when Nebraska
was In acrlous financial straits. Hartley's
rascality, it was contended, could not re
dound to tho responsibility of the bank.
Heforo tho beginning of tho arguments tho
attorney general nsked the court to Instruct
tho Jury to return n verdict in fnvor of
plaintiff against tho bank aud J. It. Millard,
president, assessing tho damages at $263,
"09. This was refused. Similar Instruc
tions omitting reference to tho president of
tho bank, making tho verdict against tho
Institution alone, wero nh.o refused. Judgo
Haker said ho would give the Instructions
to the Jury somo tlmo In the nfternoon.
IiiNtriii'tloim (o Jury.
In arriving nt a verdict tho chief duty
of tho Jurors Is to detcrmluo whether or
not thu bank acted In good faith In cash
ing tho check given to pay tho warrant.
Judgo Haker'a Instructions wero succinct
and not lengthy. Ho said to tho Jurors:
"It la tho duty of tho bank to pay all
chocks. Unless you find that Hartley pur
poicly drew tho check to defraud tho stato
und that tho bank and Mr. Millard, as
president, wero cognizant of tho fraud,
thero Is no other courso for you than to
llnd for tho defendant. If, on tho con
trary. It appears from n preponderance ot
tho ovldcnco that Hartley drew tho check
with fraudulent Intent and that tho bank
and tho oftlclals knew tho warrant was In
valid, then you must find for the plaintiff
and return a Judgment In the full amount
asked for."
It was 4 o'clock when tho court charged
thn Jury and sent tho members to delib
erate. Tho arguments of tho attorneys
wero concluded au hour earlier, but the
Judgo required longer tlmo for tho prepara
tion of tho Instructions. Thero was ono
enlivening Incident during tho afternoon
and that was when tho opposing counsel
clashed over tho right of tho attorney
general to tell the Jurors that Hartley was
n defaulter aud that tho stato had lost
money as u result of tho salo of tho war
rant consummated by Hartley and tho bnnk.
Attorney General Smyth was ringing these
charges In tho ears of tho Jurors when
the Judgo ruled that there being uo evi
dence in support of either statement In
tho present caso the attorney general could
not properly make such statements to the
Jury as facts. Tho Jury was ho Instructed.
Tho Jurors went out nt 5 o'clock, at
which hour tho instructions by Judgo Ha
ker wero handed them. There was nn
unusually largo crowd In tho rourt room,
ns tho suit has nttracted attention not only
on account of tho largo sum of money In.
volved, but, too, because of the ability
of tho attorneyH ranged on both sldos and
tho bitterness with which they liavo con
ducted the legal fight. A verdict had not
been reached nt midnight.

Tho fcdernl graud Jury has begun the con-,
slderatlon of the caso of Charles Cotton,
tho defaulting cashier of tho Syracuso Na
tional bnnk. An export who has examined
tho books states that It Is difficult to traco
any of the missing funds to tho cashier, who
has so confused tho books as to throw tho
most expert off tho track. It Is said on
authority that tho shortago of $23,000 has
been mado good since tho cashier was dis
charged from tho ofilco and that tho prose
cution Is not receiving tho asststanco It ex
pected from the officers of tho bank, who
aro disposed to look leniently upon Cotton's

Although tho vlllago of Hurley, wherein
the Incldeuts related In "Tho Dairy Farm"
aro supposed to taku place. Is fcald to be
located among tho hills of Ulster county.
in tho btato of New York, It could, with
equal propriety, have been given a hablta
Hon In almost any ono of tho eastern or
middle states. Hotweeu thu towns lying
In that section of tho country thero Is n
similarity that renders it difficult to dif
ferentiate tho ono from tho other, and
makes each tho counterpart of Its neighbor.
In all of them thcro are lo bo found thu
snmo characters that last night walked tho
boards of the Hoyd and reproduced In
miniature thu scenes that have transpired
lu tho quiet streets and among tho simple
minded folk who mako up tholr population
slncu the day when they wcro llrst octtlod.
There aio but few dramatists who havo
tho faculty of putting these men nnd
women ou tho stigo In their Integrity nnd
without reducing them to caricature. Miss
Merron Is ono of thu few. Her drama is
us sweetly idyllic as anything that lias
been scon for many u day and her men and
women aro tho living, breathing Images ol
their prototypes in real life. Rest of all
she has succeeded In transferring to the
stago tho atmosphere nnd coloring of their
environment with tho characters them
selves. No better rurul drama has ever
been seen on any stago and It Is no wonder
that It camo to tho blase theatergoers of
the two metropolises of tho country, Now
York and Chicago, as a revelation and np
pealed to them with such forco that they
would not let It go away from them. It Is
ono of the few plays that ono can witness
ut least once each week for nn indefinite
tlmo and uot feel It pall upon the appetite.
As a play "Tho Dairy Farm" Is ono with
which no Just criticism can bo found. The
story It tells Is full of interest, the lan
guago Is terse, shorn of superfluous words,
tho action is as rapid as Is consistent with
tho character ot tho people with whom it
deals and Its settings arc wonderfully truo
to tho naturo of tho places they aro sup
posed to reprcsont. As the yerlod in
which tho action is supposed to iu'ko placo
dates back to tho year 1S5S thcro la op
portunlty for somo uuiitio bartorlal effecto
and tho costumes of that day are rcpro
duccd with scrupulous fidelity. Taken all
lu all, tho play Is a masterpicco nnd Is
worthy to rank among thu best rural
dramas that has yet been given to the
public.
Tho presenting company Is adequate.
Mac M. Harnes, who plays tho part of
'Squlro Hurley, gives a dignified, and con
sistent Interpretation to tho character nnd
his work leaves Ilttlo to bo desired. Na
than Newklrk, his nephew and fostoraon,

At tho First Congrcgatlonul church
Thursday night, under auspices of the
public school teachers' lecture courso, tho
HoBtou Ladles' Symphony orchestra gavo
a concert, playing to a packed and appre
clatlvo house. Nineteen young women In
white dlrcctolre gowns, Including flvo solo
Ists, proved themselves masters of their
respective Instruments. They wcro under
the directorship of Frank W. McKee.
Thcso numbers woro rendered by tho or
chestra entire: March from "Tho Ameer:"
overture, "Rlenzl," by Wagner; overture,
"Rnymond," by Thomas; selection from i
"Tho Singing lllrl," V. Herbert, aud airs
from "Tho Hurgomaster," Ludors. Each
ot thesu was followed by an encore,
Tho soloists wern Misses Grace A. Hast
ings, violin; Cornelia Appy, cello; Florence
E. Hcckett, flute; Elizabeth M. Hanks, cor
net, and Nellie Richolson, tuba. Mliis
Rlcholson's rendition of "Beelzebub" as a
tubo solo was especially appreciated. Tho
nudlenco was surprised to find such won
derful powers of expression In so unwieldy
an Instrument, whosn limit vrns supposed
to bo the playing of deep-throated "after
tlmo" lu n brass band. She responded to
a hearty encoro with "Rocked lu tho Cra
dlo of tho Deep."
This concert was tho first entertainment
of tho season in the teachers' lecture
course. November 24 thoro will be a lec

BOYS WILL STAY IN SCHOOL
Trouble tt Kearney Military Academy Be-
liovetl to Be Over.
DR. CHITTENDEN FORCED TO RESIGN
l.utr llrnrf nf (he School a llrllllnnt
Scholiir, tint Too Itupnlntte
to Covrrn llo)s Suc
cessfully, The breach between the students nt
Kearney Military academy nnd tho head
of tho Institution has beeu closed. Thcra
Is uo likelihood of further trouble and little
probability that nuy of tho boys entailed
ut tho school will roturn homo on account
ot thu recent disturbances. Not a few boys
whoso homes are In tho city aro In at
tendance at the academy this term. ThJr
parents havo been ndvlscd of tho extent
of tho mischief resulting from tho misun
derstanding hotweeu master and pupils.
Tho men temporarily In charge havo given
assurances for tho future, so that relatives
of tho turbulent lads who rebelled agnlnst
tho authority ot a master they disliked
aro not alarmed nt tho prospect of another
outbreak. Some of tho lads wroto home
that tho violent temper of tho head of tho
school, Dr. Chittenden, was unbearable.
They admitted thero was unnecessary de
struction of property In celebrating Hal
lowo'on, but tho steps taken to punish tho
offenders wcro entirely too sevcro to BUlt
tho cadets. Tho head master, Mr. Russel,
took sides with the boys agnlnst his su
perior. Thero was defection. Head master
and students, nil but about live, withdrew
to the tonn of Kearney, remaining thcro
until thu bishop of tho diocese and the trus
tees of tho school arranged u compromise
Involving thu resignation of tho obnoxious
principal. Dr. Chittenden consented ti re
tiro in favor of Mr. Russel, a general favor
ite with tho students, and recitations aro
going on ns usual.
Thoso at tho head of tho Episcopal de
nomination In tho city nro nt loss to ex
plain how thu trouble reached an ncuto
stago. They havo tho highest regard for
Dr. .Chittenden ns nn educator and dlsclp
Ilnarlau, but ndmlt that ho has never been
popular with tho cadets. Tho school Is
sectarian, being under Kplscopnl (super
vision. Rev. T. J. Mackoy, who has had
a uon at tho school, saya tho retirement
of Dr. Chlttendon will put ntt end to the
feeling ot discontent existing nmong tho
cadets fur the Inst few months.
Hint Tcniiior Ciiusrs (IntlirenU.
"Dr. Chittenden waa a bplcmlld edu
cator," Mr. Mackey said. "Ho Is a brilliant
scholar, an entertaining conversatlop.Ulst
and an author of considerable repute, al
though Btiri a young man. IIIh only fault
was an ungovernablo temper, and I mip
poso It was this that caused tho outbreak
on tho part of the students. The boys hail
been playing pranks Hallowe'en, damaging
tho buildings, perhaps, as they often did,
and Dr. Chittenden rebuked them over
sharply. It is said that ho was a sufferer
from sun stroke u few years ago and he
often gives way to outbursts of temper
over very trivial happenings. Thcro aro
stories to the effect that on moro than ono
occasion lie hns solzcd a boy bodily nnd
kicked him out of the room for fractious
conduct. I supposo It Is truo that ho wan
often unnecessarily rough. Hut thcro arc
lots of circumstances to bo considered that
aro In his favor. Tho boys, as a rulo, nro
of a rough class. Then, they havo trying
habits. Dr. Chittenden was very encrgetlo.
Ho built ono of tho structures on tho
campus almost unaided. Often, uftcr recita
tion hours, ho wns in tho habit of putting
on his working clothes and working nt a
ditch for carrying water to the school build
ings. Tho cadets In their pranks fre
quently undid In n night several days'
work. 1'osstbly they deserved sovcro pun
ishment. "Ulshop Graves of the diocese ot the
Platto established tho school several years
ago, intending it moro especially for tho
sons of farmers dwelling In tho western
part of tho state. The expenses for tuition
wero small. Dr. Chittenden was Installed
as head three years ago. Ho Increased the
feo somewhat and the school began to pro3
per In a marked degree. Ho raised tho
tuition fco again tho following year, whon
tho attendance grow larger. Last year tho
academy was In very prosperous circum
stances. Ho deserves tho credit for bring
ing It from a small institution to a flourish
ing ono and onu that Is comparatively
large."
Dean Campbell Fair expressed tho ns
surauco that tho academy would not liavo
n repetition of thu outbreak on tho part of
tho students. Tho substitution of Mr. Rus
sel for Dr. Chittenden, ho thought, would
put an end to thu dissatisfaction that many
of tho boys hnd fult with tlicir head master.
