LINCOLN. Oct. 28.-'-(8ncclal.) A con
tinued growth of prosperity for tho people
Dt Nebraska generally, If not for tho
bankers, will bo reflected by tho next
tjuarterly statement of the Stato Banking
department. Tho statement will show that
deposits In stato banks are rapidly Increas
ing, while loons arc slightly decreasing
In the light of the local crop damago In
parts of Nebraska this showing Is consld
crcd remarkable by the officials of the State
Hanking board. Ordinarily with damago
to crops the deposits at this period of tho
year would decline and loans would In
crease. Doth of theso movements would be
Influenced by the contraction In tho amount
to bo realized by the farmers for the salo
of corn and other grain which suffered
this year from tho drouth. When thu re
ceipts for the sale of grain aro reduced
tho demand for money from the banks
naturally becomes greater and the doposlts
usually go down. This year the unexpected
conditions prevail. Deposits continue to
Incrcaso and the domand for loans remains
about stationary, or slightly below normal.
All banks In tho stato have not reported
In response to Secretary Royse's call, but
enough of the statements arc In to Indicate
pretty accurately that the Increase In de
posits will be upwards of $2,500,000. Every
statement Issued by the department slnco
the general wave of prosperity began to be
felt has shown an Incrcaso In this Item,
tho Improvomont ranging nt different times
from $1,000,000 to over $3,000,000. Never
In tho history of tho state wero tho de
posits In tho stato banks ns great as they
ore today and, according to the best figures
obtainable, tho banks wero never In a more
prosporotis condition. Somo of tho bankers
complain of low rates of Interest and the
poor demand for money, but notwithstand
ing tho decllno In tho demand for loans
nil of tho Institutions are In better condl
tlon than they were six years ago, when
tho conditions wero reversed.
Fusion campaign managers have been
looking forward to tho statement of tho
banks with the hopo that they might find
therein something to aid them-. In their
desperate cffortH to save the fusion ticket,
For tho past three or four years all tho
bank statements have been rejected by
the fusion boomers, but with tho crop
falluro In mind something different was
expected this tlmo.
Secretary Iloyso expects to have the re
port of the condition of banks under his
jurisdiction, Including savings and private
banks, ready for publication within the
next ten days.
Kensted nt fltnte'a lSxpenac.
It develops that during tho last fusion
administration moro than 200 relatives and
friends of state officials and of officials of
tho stato Institutions wero kept at theso
Institutions at public exponso. As the rcc
ords for tho last six months of fusion man
agemcnt aro Incomplete', by reason of In
competent" accounting and missing reports
and records, the per capita cost of main
talnlng these Interlopers Is herein based on
the cost of maintaining the. Institutions for
the period beginning December 1, 1899, and
ending May 31, 1900. It cost the stnto for
each Inmate kept In the Institutions dur
Ing that period $102.98. To ascertain to
what extent tho taxpayers were'lmposed on
It Is only necessary to multiply this amoun
by 200, the number of relatives and friends
who were neither' employed nor on the pay
roll, but wero there ns guests, and It will
be found that It amounts to. the sum of
morn than $20,000. As this number re
mnlned in the Institutions for nearly nigh
teen months of Poynter's term, for these
methods wero adopted shortly after ex-Gov
ernor I'oynter assumed tho reins of power,
and ns It cost $20,000 for six months, the
total cost would bo threo times that,
fW.JOO, In other words, the taxpayers had
to piy $60,000 extra for the keeping of rela
tlvcs nnd friends of fusion officials durln
Governor I'oynter s two years' term. Nor
can this bo truthfully denied. There wero
twenty-two at 'the penitentiary, twenty at
the Kearney Industrial school, -eleven at th
Soldiers' and Sailors home nt Mllford and
about this same average number at each
one of the remaining ten Institutions. In
fact, tho only restraint In this respect wa3
accommodations. At tho Geneva Institution

tin thf payroll nnd his aged mother ws
kept there at tho state's expense for tbrco

It hat amused some of tho knowing ones
to wntch the contortions of the fusion press
on tho alleged surplus of uninvested funds
in tho stato treasury. Treasurer Meserve
carried an nverage dally balance of unln;
vested funds of $251,000 during his last term
of office, yet not n word of ceqsuro came

SUPERSTITION
Ha been responsible for much of human
mortality. Men and women die by thou
sands In an Indian famine, not
because of lack of food but be
sS cause caste superstition prevents
jIL them from accepting it. Even
J in America there arc still to be
found those who believe that healing
herbs lack virtue unless gathered during
certain phases of the moon.
The great foe of superstition is science,
livery year science increases the terri
tory ot tne natural at die
expense of the super
natural. Doctor Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery
achieves its successful
cures because It is a
scientific preparation orig
inated by a scientific man.
Tt cures diseases of the
stomach and other organs of digestion
nnd nutrition, purifies the blood and
establishes the body in sound health.
As the writer of the, following letter
says, "It Is the best thing for nervous-neMand-for
a, weak run-down condition
that anybody would want. It gives a
person new life and new blood."
"Golden Medical Discovery" contains
no alcohol and Is free from opium, co
calne and other narcotics.
"I mut Rla send a few linn to you to let
yon know how I am getting along since taking
the wouderful raedlclue which cured roe two
vttra sco." write Ml&a nertha
Kbeler, of 1416 nenton Street,
Bt, Louts, Mo. "I still continue
in wry good' health and think
there U not a better medicine on
earth than Dr. Pierce's OoMen
Medical Discovery. It is the beat
thing for nervouue and for a
weak, run-down condition, that
anybody would want. U gives a
person new lire and new oioon.
1 can now work all day long
without feetinr the least bit tired.
I was very nervnin and weak lat lummer. I
took five bottles of Dr. Tierce's Oolden Medical
Discovery aud It Juat made me feel like a new
person."
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets stimulate
the liver. .
if
from the fusion press. No one has charged
ex-Treasurer Meserve with having Interest
on this large dally balance, though It Is
rathsr significant that the first thing be
undertook in a business way upon his re
tirement from office was the purchase of
one of the largest banking houses In Adams
county, From a man of small means, on a
salary of $2,500 a year for four years, to a
leading banker Is a long step, yet Mr. Me
serve seemed prepared to take that step
with somewhat of a lapovcr upon his re
tirement from the treasury. One thing the
records proved conclusively while Mr. Me
sorvo was treasurer and carried an averago
dally balance of trust funds of $251,000 for
two years, he never turned over to the
tate one cent of interest on said funds,
though .at 4 per cent the Interest would
amount to more than $10,000 per year.
Notwithstanding the fact that Treasurer
Stuefer has collected moro than $242,000 of
principal on school land obligations up to
tho close of buslncrs October 26, the Inter
est on which Is 6 per cent, while It re
mained principal and only 3 Va per cent It
Immediately reinvested, the available bal
anco on hand In the temporary school fund
for distribution among the school districts
throughout the state Is $5,000 larger than
It was one year ago. In other words Treas
urer Stuefer has paid In more Interest to
the temporary school fund by a considerable
amount than did Treaauror Meserve.
Speaking on this subject a state official
said yesterday: "In some respects Meserve
made a good treasurer. In the same re
spects Stuefer has made a better one. That
is the only difference. Stuefer, for the
corresponding period, has collected more
money, Invested moro for the school fund
In Interest bearing securities and has paid
In more Interest than Meserve. The records
show this to be true beyond question.
"It might be difficult if not embarrassing,
however, for Meserve to explain why he
carried on hand nn nverago dally balanco of
trunt funds of $251,000. With practically
the samo commercial conditions prevalent
Stuefer has found It possible to Invest
nearly twlco the. amount Invested by Me
serve. The question suggests Itself, Was
Meserve negligent or was ho profiting by
It? Tho achievement of Treasurer Stuefer
In this respect Is so far ahead ot Meserve
that It is but reasonable to assume that
either personal profit or personal negli
gence Is the cause of Mcecrvo's poor show
ing.
Klcctlon Mnndamna In rinttc.
Chairman Lindsay of tho republican stato
central committee received Information to
day that application had been made to tho
district court of Platte county for a writ of
mandamus to require the clerk ot that
county to prepare the official election bal
lot In accordance with law and the ruling
ot the supreme court.
Tho fusion clerk, it was reported, was
about to discriminate In favor ot the fusion
nominees. The supremo court In the Lan
caster county case expressly and emphat
ically decreed that the ballots should be
uniform In arrangement throughout the
state. According to the court's decision In
that case, which Is practically word for
word a copy ot the statute on tho aubjoct,
the republican candidates are entitled to
the first position, also the name "repub
lican" In the space set apart for straight
party votes. There being no basis upon
which to form an exact conclusion, It Is dli
cretlonary with the county clerks whether
the democrats or populists shall be given
second position, but this Is not expressed In
the court's opinion,
Unauthorised Invnrnnce Companies
Tho attention of Insurance Deputy Dab
cock has been called to tho fact that two
Chicago Insurance companies are transact
Ing, or attempting to transact, business in
Nebraska without having first procured the
necessary licenses from the auditor of
state. They are the Mercantile Fire In
surance company, capitalized for $150,001
and tho Commonwealth Insurance company,
Mr. Babcock says tho two companies
have absolutely no authority to do business
within this state. They have made no ap
plication for permlsslotV to enter tho Nc
brnska field and the Mercantile company
could not be admitted If It did apply,
for tho reason that Its capital stock docs
not meet the requirements of tho law.
Doth companies follow practically tho
same plan of operation. They offer a com
mission Of 25 per cent on all business writ
ten and furnish an abundance of circulars
and advertising novelties to nil agents who
ncree to represent them. Tho Insurance
Is cheap and the prospects and Induce
tncnts held out aro tempting. Deputy Dab
cock learned of tho operations through a
letter of Inquiry sent him by ono of the
recently appointed agents, who desired to
know whether tho Mercantile company was
authorized to do business In Nebraska
Later an Inquiry was received regarding
the other comoany and Mr. Dabcock dc
elded to begin an Investigation. A thor
ough investigation ot the records failed to
record the Issuance of a llcenso to either
company nnd the Insurance deputy
promptly ruled that tho companies wero
unauthorized to write business In thl
state. Letters containing this decision will
bo mailed to the agents tomorrow.

Judge Cornish this afternoon took u
tho last chapter In the long litigation
between the Armstrong Clothing Co
and Mayer Bros. Tha latter firm pur
chased, almost two years ago, tho build
ng on O street which had been occupied
for somo years by the former. Soon after
the title was vested In them they began
suit to obtain possession of the building
for their own occupancy. This was resisted
and fought out In tho courts, the United
States supremo court being finally appealed
to. Eventually the verdict was in favor
of the Mayers, who secured possession after
tho other clothing establishment had had
another building built and moved Into It.
