LINCOLN. .Nov. 16. (Special ) The
!)ee' exposure of the Burt county bond
cJf a 1 was the talk of the city today. At
the state house It was eagerly read by all
the officials and emploee, but all of those
who would be likely to know anything or
ay anything as to the case and what was
llkejy to result were out of the city.
Treasurer Stuefer left Lincoln on the early
morning train for his home In West Point.
The bookkeeper In the treasurer's office
aid that all he knew about it was that
tbc books were straight.
Governor Savage was busy with other
matters and could not be seen, therefore
It could not be ascertained what action. If
my, he proposed to take. Chairman Llnd
lay of the repulllcan state committee was
slto out of town and no one else around
political headquarters was willing to speak
for publication.
Among the citizens generally there was
plenty of talk. There were many who ex
pressed no surprise at the disclosures.
Whllo no one had professed to have any
knowledge of such transactions going on,
tbey had feared some sensational develop
ments as a result of the refusal of Treas
urer Stuefcr to tako the public Into bis
confidence regarding the whereabouts of
the uninvested school money, nven those
wbo wero Inclined to favor Treasurer
Stuefcr were forced to admit that the show
ing u apparently conclusive and could
offer no logical explanation of the trantac
tlon except that given by Tho Pee.

WEST POINT. Neb.. Nov. 16. (Special.)
- In addition to the large list of regular
subscribers, every man, woman and child In
West Point who could buy, beg, borrow or
appropriate a copy of The Bo read t.hat.
paper today. There was a great variety of
comment on the subject, but nil acknowl
edged the showing In regard to Treasurer
Stucfer'a connection with the. Burt county
band case was a strong one.
Mr. Stuefr lives here and for many years
has been Identified with the business Inter
ests of the town. Personally all expressed
regret that a fellow townsman who had
been so honored by the people of the state
should be implicated In such an affair.
Among tho republicans the sentiment was
general that if anything was wrong it was
best for tho party that it should be. ex
posed by his own party associates. Men of
all parties freely expressed tho opinion
that it was to the Interest of the entire
state to have such practices shown up. as
only exposure will put a stop to them. The
I too came in for unstinted praise on all
hands for having the courago to thus ex
pose ebady transactions of Us own party
officials.
Ilpprpspntatlrp WhMnmre' Vlrirn.
representative John A. Wbltmorn of
Hamilton county was In Omaha yesterday
on legal business. He expressed consid
erable surprise at the disclosures made in
The Bee concerning the management of the
school fund by State Treasurer Stuefer.
"I believe that wo ought to have an ex
tra session of tho legislature to take up
this matter, If It Is as represented, and
straighten out tho treasury tangle. The
great difficulty wo encounter in dealing
with all these questions comes from the
constitutional limitations. Our constitu
tion ought to bo amended at tho earliest
possible moment. I myself have been of
the opinion that the task Is too big to be
performed by a legislature In formulating
separata amendments, but ought to bo re
ferred to a constitutional convention.
"The governor cannot afford to Ignore
the condition confronting him in the treas
ury, and If ho wants the help of the legis
lature he fchould call it in extra session. I
believe the state treasurer can bo made to
repay every cent of Interest received on
deposits of publlo money or profits made
hy their use, and that should he fall to do
po It will be the duty of the attorney gen
eral to proceed against him and his bonds
men for the money. This duty applies not
only to State Treasurer Stuefcr, but to his
predecessor, Mr. Meserve, who has prac
tically admitted that he received Interest
on the school money In his possession.
When the bill was before the legislature
for the appropriation to pay for the state
treasurer's bond I opposed it, until Mr.
Stuefer rame before the house and prom
ised that he would turn Into the treasury
every cent of Interett earned on all the
public, funds. I took him at his word and
voted for tho bill and be should be made
to live up to his promise."

Tho plaintiff Is a ward who has ar
rived at his majority and brought
cult against his former guardian for
services performed during the guar

antrles, out of which the Jury evolved a
vedlct of $600 in favor of the plaintiff. Tho
defondant Immediately filed a motion for a
new trial.

months are discussed as follows
"The excessively hot spell that marked
July ended the first days of August, but
the temperature was nearly continuously
above normal during the month. Light,
scattered ratn6 occurred during the first
week, heavy, general rains In tbe second
week, light, scattered showers the third
week and fairly heavy showers during the
rest of the month. Threshing and haylnc
progressed well, In northern counties the
hay crop was larger than usual and was
generally secured In good condition, al
though some was damaged during the rainy
periods, especially In the recoud week.
The rains, however, Improved the grass In
pastures and all late forage crops. IjUc
corn Improved somewhat after the rains,
but much early corn wa. cut for fodder.
Considerable plowing was done In southern

was done In northern countlci. at. the soil

"September wbb a ery wet month, es
pecially the first half of the month. The
heavy rains damaged considerable hay in
northern and western counties and inter
fered somewhat with threshing. However,
the ground was placed In excellent condi
tion for fall plowing nnd seeding and pas
tures Improved very much. Tho temperature
of the month was below tbe normal, and
during an unusually cold period which
lasted from the 16th to the 10th. a killing
frost occurred generally which In many
parts of the state damaged late corn -to a
small extent. A large acreage of winter
wheat was sown during September.
Octohrr Pnvorn riiruiom.
"October was a very favorable month for
plowing and seeding, also for the growth
of grass and fall-sown grain. Oeneral
showers occurred during the first two und
last weeks of the month, while little or no
rain fell from the 15th to tb 24th. The
temperaturo was low the first half and very
high the last half of the month. Thus.
with ample moisture and temperature
favorable, fall-sown grain germinated rap
idly and made a strong, vigorous growth.
Some early sown fields were pastured to
prevent too rank growth. Sowing winter
wheat continued very late, some fields be
ing town near the end of the month. Im
ports indicate that the acreage sown to
winter wheat this fall Is the largest eer
sown In Nebraska. A slight Increase. In
acreage has occurred generally In the
southeastern counties and a very large In
crease along tbe western and northern
borders of what bas been considered the
winter wheat belt. In some of the counties
In the western portion of the wheat belt
It Is estimated that from one-half to two
tblrds of the land under cultivation has
been sown to winter wheat. The month
was less favorable for gathering corn. Tbe
rain and low temperature the first half of
the month retarded drying; so that but lit
tle. If any. husking was done until the last
half, and then but slow progress was made
The corn generally Is yielding rather bet
ter than was expected, but of very poor
quality. Sugar beets have grown well un
til late In the fall, and are a very satis
factory crop."
During last month there was high tem
perature and normal precipitation. Strang
got 4.04 inches, tbe largest amount of rain,
and the average precipitation was 1 64. The
average for tbe Octobers of the last
twenty-six years was 1.50. The maximum
and minimum temperature for the last
twenty-six years and the precipitation for
the same length of time are shown by
