Tho bonds were advertised for sale for
Juno 21, IflOl. It wan generally known that
they wcro for mle at that tlmo. Mr.
Btuefer nays In tt communication that he
addressed to tbo public some tlmo oro,
' throURh tho press, that ho did not bid for
tho bonds for tho reason that ho could
not glvo n cash, premium. 9o ho admits
that ho had actual "knowledge. The
counter argument, however, that ho could
bavo removed coupons for the county
as welt as for 'Nellgh is not satisfactory,
nor tho. further fact that Mr. Stuefor
during ' Ills term had previously
paid cash premiums on hundreds
of- like securities, state warrants. Mr.
Btuefer did not bid or make any effort to
s;ct tho bonds from tho Hurt county author
ities. However, a close friend and business
associate, of Mr. Stuefor, Mr. Nellgh, was
present nnd bought tho bonds, it wns i.
condition of his bid that the bonds were
to bo delivered to hlra at tho First Na
tional bank at .Omaha.. There was an ar
rangement mado whereby they wcro to be
delivered there on the Cth day of July
On tho 4th day of July Mr. Nellgh ap
peared at Tekamnh nnd paid for tho bonds
and got on order on the auditor of tbo
state, In whose possession the bonds still
were, for tho purpose of registry, for tholr
delivery to him.
Tho pnymont was' mado In two checks,
ono. drawn on tbo I'M ret National bank of
Omaha for $70,000 nnd one of $10,000 on tho
Merchants' National bank of Omaha. Theso
checks each bore tho date of July C. As a
matter of frict they were drawn up on July
3, dated tho Cth and wcro delivered here
on tho 4th. Mr. Nellgh, by vlrtuo of his
order, got the bonds from tho auditor and
tho stnte finally camo Into possession of
them.
Tho circumstances at Lincoln are also
peculiar. Mr. Btuefer him a letter from
Nollgh, dated Juno 25, In which Nellgh of
fers tho bonds to Btuefer. It Is claimed by
Mr. Btuefer that he took this lcttor to dif
ferent members of tho State Purchasing
board and got tho Informal consent of cor
' tnln members to the purchase Thfs letter
offered tho bonds that wero bearing 3
per cent Interest to tho stnto on a basis of
3Vi per cent. Tho consent that tho mom
bors gnvo to tho purchaao was according to
tho terms of tho letter. At feast so cer
tain of them have said, and undoubtedly
ol( would say tho samo.
lteeonl of I'ureliime.
Tho record mado In Mr. Stuefer's offleo aa
to tho purclmso of tho bonds Is ns follows:
"Purchased July C, 1901, on a basis of 3Vi
per cent, coupons detached to cquallzo
rate" Tho only record In the office of tho
commissioner of public lands and buildings,
who Is secretary of tho purchasing board, of
tho purchaso of tho Hurt county bonds
states that tho purchaao of tho Hurt county
bonds la ratified at 3U per cent. Now, at a
basis of 3V4 per cent there would have
been to bo removed from theso bonds, to
equalize tho rate, coupons to tho extent of
$4,000. However. Mr. Stuefof says that only
$j;450 of coupons wero taken away by
Nellgh. Ho cites that as. an act. of good
financiering on his part for the state. But
tho fact remains that the $550 of coupons
that Nollgh did not tako away wcro not re
ported on his own boofts,- tho entries of
which wcro mndo tho eamo day as, tho
transaction, and tho report to tho purchas
ing board, of two months later, has no ref
oronco to them and they wcro left In ouch
situation that nt any tlmo they could "have
been removed by nnyone having accoss to
them, and tholr ownership In tho state
could not have boon established.
r Statement Nut Correct.
At the time that Hon. John P. 'Piper,
Hon. John F. NeBblt and jnyself called on
Mr. Stuefor wlt,h referenco to tha jnatter
and gave film an opportunity- to state bis
Ido of the Issuu, the only defonso that ho
mado was that at the tlmo that tho checks
wero drawn, Nellgh bod the bonds, was
the owner of them and that at that time
Nellgh delivered the bonds to him (Mr.
x Btuefer)., A sulllclent dofense, If correct.
However, It was not correct. We, know It
then and so told him. It Is' no more the
truth how thnn It was then.
From theso fnctB can any deduction be
drawn, except Hint tho etate's money has
been used by Mr. Nellgh with tho knowl
edge of Mr. Btuefer for tho purchase of
bonds?" Thnt Nellgh has sought to profit
arid now hoe mnnunl possession of tho
profit by the transaction to tho extent of
tho detached- coupons? That Mr, Stuefor
has $550 worth of coupons In tho office, that
tho bcarbr, whomsoever he might have
been, could hold till pnld, although it la now
' admitted they belong to tho atato?
If theso things nro' true, and they are
easy of proof, what should tho peoplo of
this county, of this state, do? Has anyone
a duty? If they have, should they shirk
it, or perform It?
I was requested by tho chalrma'n of tho
county bonrd of this county to look the
matter Up, after tho transaction had beeu
tnlkcd of here, nnd the peculiar ofllco of
tho checks had bocomo known. I did In
qulro Into tho mattor. Tho governor and
a numbor of tho stnto ofllcors assisted me.
In company with Mr. Piper and Mr. Nesblt,
I afterward went to Lincoln, again went
over tho matter thoroughly, and heard Mr.
Stuefer's statement, which I bavo adverted
to above. I hnvo talked this matter ovor
with the governor, with both of our sena
tors, with Mr. Hosewater nnd with a num
ber of our leading republicans. I have not
heard a dissenting volco from tho proposi
tion, that the Issue, was ono that must be
mot among our trading party men. It can
not be met by our state officers bnndlng
themselves for defense. Defenso of what?
Our party Is only strong by ronnon of tho
fact that wo band ourselves against such

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. (Special Tele
gram.) Opposition Is manifested by tho
South Dakota delegation to tho new leas
ing regulations governing the grazing of
cattle on tho Indian reservations In that
state. Indian Commissioner Jones has Just
called for bids on several thousand acres
of grazing lnnds In the reservations com
prising the Chcyenno river and Standing
Rock agencies. It Is proposed to let land
at about 4 cents per acre, or as much as
may bo offered.
Representntlvo Burko of South. Dakotn
said today that tho leasing of the property
1b prejudicial to the development and Inter
ests of his state. Ho said that under the
regulations It would be posslblo for a largo
company to Becuro permits for nil the lnnds
to tho exclusion of the small stockmen In
tho state. Another objection urged by Mr.
Burke Is that thoro Is no restriction na to
tho number of cattlo that may "bo grazed'
on Indian lands. Mr. Burko Bays that tho'
policy of permitting long-time lenses would
defer tbo making of allotments and opening
to settlomcnt of lauds Included In tha South
Dakota reservations. Mr. Burke Intimates
that a formal protest will bo filed with tho
commissioner of Indian affairs against the
leasing regulations about to be put into
forco In South Dakota.'
Senators Garablo nnd KIttrcdgo will have
n confcroncc with Secretary Hitchcock to

part of which is to bo used in tho con
struction of a fenen around the diminished
portion of tho Lower Brule reservation.
What remains after this oxpendtturo Is to
bo utilized In purchasing stock for the In
diana. Nebraska Postofllcea. (
Tho fight ovor tho postofllCo nt Crclghton
grows In interest. Senator Millard said to
night ho would havo to dccldo tho question
within n day or two, ns tho present post
master's tlmq is up tomorrow. Tho con
test over tho Crclgbton offleo is between
tho incumbent,1 A. A. Logan, who Is editor of
tho Crelghton Courier, and a candidate who
Is being pushed by tho old soldiers. Both

Senator Millard ended tho Nellgh post-
ofllco controversy today by selecting

dicial districts during tho Fifty-seventh
congress. "My bill mny not meet the de
sires of all tho peoplo in tbo state," ho
said, "but it was drawn with a vlow of
mooting many divergent Interests, and I
bellcvo comes nearer solving the question
than any other bill that has been intro
duced. It wns prepared by the Lincoln Bar
association, and I am, ready to stand by It
at every turn."

At tho night mooting of tho board, after

The toastmaster then Bald: "It is now
ten minutes after 12 o'clock, fho day upon
which certain state officers tako , tholr

In its history n democratic chief justice of
tho supremo court." He called for a rising
toast to Judgo Sullivan, who responded
briefly with thanks.
Tho nbsenco of J. Hamilton Lewis was re

Domocrat was Introduced to respond to the
toast "Tho Democratic Press."
'The democratic, press," ho said, "has
grown gray In Its effort to lift the mosquito

W. H. Kelllgar of York responded to tho

W. S.'Thomas of Ohio, was introduced. Ills
remnrks wore brVofi Ho mado a point by
saying that tho National Implement nnd
Vehicle Manufacturers of which association
ho Is tho president, Is ;tho largest Industry
not in a trust, thus proving that It is not
necessary to form n trust In order to sue
cecd. Ho nailed tho democratic campaign
canard that farming Implements nro sold
abroad cheaper than thoy nro In tho United
States. The statement was challenged by
Congressman Ball, which causod n llrtlo
amusement to tho crowd. Ho said: "I met
.Mr. Bryan In Chicago tho othor day nnd
nBked him, 'What shall wo do In tho futuro
If wo go your way, somo of tho domocrata
will leave us; nnd If wo go tholr way, somo
of your friends will leavo us.' His answer
was: 'Wo must stand by tho good oK
democratic doctrines.' Ho did not say 'froo
sliver' nor 'Imperialism,' nor any other
Ism. What did hb mean by 'democratic
doctrines?' I bollovo ho meant honesty in
personal and private life honesty In gov

Ho said: It would scent with an over

u charge upon tho consumption of nearly 2
cents a pound.
This represents on nn annual consump

this, however, only 1,300,000 tons aro Im
ported; yielding customs rovonnos of $64,

tho pockets of tho planters.' A removal
of this duty on rnw sugar would result in
