Cloak and Suit company, was placed under

C. J. Stcons of Ansley, Nob., charging him
with embezzling (10,000. He was Immedi
ately arraigned before Judge Waters and
pleaded not guilty, ills bond was fixed
at $5,000 and In default of proper security
he was committed to the county Jail, his
trial being assigned for next Monday,
Stevens claims that Iloth cmbcz?.cld
money belonging to the company, of which
he was acting manager. Iloth denies the
allegation and Insists that he can prove
his innocence, but further than this he
refuses to discuss the case. Mr. Stevens
li tho heaviest stockholder In the company.
The accused has enjoyed good standing In
Lincoln and although not regarded as a suc
cessful business man he was thought to
be square In all his dealings. Until he
became manager of the store In 1599, Iloth
was employed for many years as a salesman
In Mlllor A Palne's dry goods store. He ha3
a wife and several children.
It Is alleged that Iloth claimed the stock

worth only $12,000. It Is this difference
which Stevens claims has been embezzled.

(From a Staff Corro?pondcnt.)
LINl OLN, Sept. 24. (Special.) Informa
tion received nt the state houso this aft
ernoon Indicates that tho damage by Are at
the Hccpltnl for the Insano at Norfolk will
be nearer $50,000 than $130,000 is first re
ported. This estimate Is made by Chief
Clerk It. J. Clancy of the governor's of
fice, who Inspected tho ruins with several
members df tho Stato Board of Public
Lands and Buildings.
In a conversation over' the long distant?
telephone from Norfolk Mr. Clancy said
that nearly all of tho walls remained In
tact und could bn used with n little re
pairing for rebuilding. The Interior por
tion Is practically ail destroyed, but lit
believes that the damage can be repaired
for tho amount named.
Tho patients will probably be brought
from Norfolk on n special train tomorrow.
It was the original intention to mnkc tho
transfer today, but at a conference of tho
olllclitls In Norfolk it wns decided to wait
until tomorrow morning. Land Comrali
sloner Follmer, Secretary Marsh, Chief
Clerk Clancy nnd Superintendent Greene
of the Hospital for Insane In this city,
will likely return on tho train with Lin
coln's quota of i ho patients.
If Mr. Clancy's estimate of the dam
ngo is correct it Is probable that all plans
for rebuilding the Institution In this city
will bo abandoned. Some of the officials are
Inclined to favor centralizing tho hospitals
and othcro Institutions, but they admit that
It would not be wlso to bring tho Institu
tion to Lincoln If it could bo rebuilt in
Norfolk for $30,000,
Will Prosecute Trunt Cnnes.
Attorney General Prout said today that
bo would continue tho prosecution of the
trust cases In the supremo court regardless
of the rdverso decision of Judge Mcl'hcrson
of the United S'ates circuit court In Coun
cil lllufls yesterday. Theso aro tho ac
tions instituted by former Attornoy Gen
eral Smyth against tho Stnnunrd Oil com
pany and tho Argo Manufacturing com
pany. Among attorneys the belief is preva
lent tbat tho ruling of Judgo Mcl'hcrson
will bo followed by tho stato court even
tually, but the attorney general Is de
termined to tight tho cases until they aro
finally decided or dismissed by tho court of
last resort.
In tho decision regarding tho nntl-lnsur-anco
trust law and which is said by compe
tent authorities to npply to tho law undor
which the two cases were begun, the Judge
declares that If tho provisions ore valid
two men In tho samo lino of business could
cot enter Into partnership If tho organiza
tion tended to maintain prices. Thc ques
tion decided by Judgo Mcl'hersoa has al
ready been raised In tho Standard Oil com
pany litigation and upon It dopends the
ultlmato result of the case.
Mr. Prout will appeal tho insurance cases
to tho United Svatcs supremo court, but It
Is likely that the stock yards caso will bo
dropped Just where It Is now, Tho decision
In the latter, that a defect In tho tltlo
Invalidates tho wholo net. Is according to
many prior decisions in other cases by tho
supremo court and tho nttornoy general be
lieves that It would bo useless to ask for a
reversal.

ployed to promote vlco and protect crimi
nals." Tho platform also pledges the can
dldntcs to do away with "th6 blackmail In

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
Auditorium Compnur l Confronted
ltu n Perplcilim
Proposition,
Tho directors of tho nudltorlum com
pany ore up ngnlnst a proposition which
until ycftcrdny they hnd not considered
nnd which they will havo to arrange be
tween now and next Tuesday, and that is
tho provisions to bo mado In regard to
tho holders of nudltorlum bricks at tho
coming election of members of tho board
of directors,
At tho tlmo tho bricks were placed on
sale It wns announced that each purchaser
of ono of tho souvenirs would bo entitled
to rccclvo one share of stock lu tho nudl
torlum company. There wore nbout 7.000
bricks sold, making thnt number of stock
holders lu the enterprise of whom thero Is
no record. Theso stockholders nre cer
tainly entitled to vote at the nnnual meet
lug and how to dotcrmlue tho stockholders
Is the question confronting the board. It
hns been suggested that each holder of a
brick who presents himself at the meeting
with tho purpose of taking part In the
election, be required to regUter tho number
of his brick with tho secretary, also his
namo, this registration to be used for the
purposo of Issuing tho stock when it Is
rtady for tho holders, Each holder of n
brick under this plan would bo cunsldcred
as a fully paid up stockholder for tho
cumber of bricks be holds at the time of
tho election nml would bo entitled to his
certificates ns soon ns thoy nro Issued.
Another plnn suggested is that nil hold
ers of bricks bo required to surrender the
samo on the day of the election If they dc
slro to tske pait In the selection of direct
ors and receive a receipt, which will be re
deemed with a cortlflcnto of stock later.
The only objection to this plan Is that It
wouliV require too much tlmo on election
day nnd would compllcnto tho Issue of stock
which under tho orlglunl plan wns to be
Issued upou tlm tiurrcnder of the brick.
Tho mnttcr tuny bo brought to tho atten
tion of tho bonrd nt a special meeting
which will possibly bt called for Thursday
to mnko final orrnngomont for the election,
so that all arrangements can bo mado pub
lic In ample tl.no for nil to understand
them, which would not bo tho case should
tho matter be postponed until tho day pro
ceding tho election.
The secretary also has under ndvlsrmont
the qu"Mlon of Issuing n full pnnnclnl state
ment showing tho condition of tho com
pany; tho totnl receipts, total expenses nnd
total resources, together with tho number
of parsons who havo not paid the first as
bossmcnt on their stock. This assessment
must be paid beforo tho stockholder enn
vote nt tho election and tho secretory ex
pects that with this undcrstnnding thcro
will bo mnny mnko pnyment between now
nnd tho tlmo of tho close of the polls Tues
day evening nt 10 o'clock. About 400 stock
holders are now In arrears for amounts
ranging from $1.50 to $10.
"I had a running soro on my leg for soven
years," writes Mrs. James Forest of Chip
pewa Falls, Wis., "and spent hundreds of
dollars In trying to get it healed. Two
boxes of Banner Salvo entirely cured it."

LONDON, Sept. 24. Tho result of tho gov
