American people, so, too. the nnmc Jf Mc
Klnley may 1 employed to encourage
talth. hope and charity nrtd stimulate the
nobler attributes of, American manhood.
William McKlnlcy's contrlbut oils to tho
moral, commercial and Industrial potency
of this republic nre of greater Importance
and worth than those contributed by any
other, and In the list of names of thohu
who occupy tho distinction of public bono
factor no name Is entitled to higher dls
tlngutshment tnan his.
Ills llfo was ti lire of public endeavor.
Ills statesmanship wbh of that type which
springs from the loins of practical and
temporal) reason,
It was ho that counseled and guided the
statesmanship of the nation, - evolved a
remedy for commercial and Industrial af
flictions ami. through the application of
his matured Judgment to the affalrn of
government. Infused now life nnd energy
Into the business nnd Industrial Interests
of thn nation, resulting In an era of pros
perity unprecedented In tho history of tho
American-people.
It wan ho that planned nnd executed with
strategic mind one of tho most humane,
successful nnd significant conquests against
monarchical atrocity over prosecuted In
tho nnmc of humnnlty.
it was he that, dying nt the hands of a
merclleHs iissnHflln, set ono of the most
beautiful nnd Impressive examples In Chris
tian fortitude the world ha ever known.
Hurely the name of one who contributed
so generously to the material welfare of
his country nnd to the morals of his coun
trymen should not pass Into tho oblivion of
history with nothing to perpetuate his
memory but Impotent nnd Inadequate his
torical recitals of his achievements.
It tins been happily suggested that a na

lind, that Nebraska may' retuln her pa
triotic nnd loyal distinction, I hereby de

Indictment of John II, Meserve.
The Indictment of former Treasurer John
B. Mescrve has been an absorbing topic
of discussion at tho state homo and In
political circles today. It had been gen
erally supposed that Mr. Meservo loaned
largo amounts of state money for his" own
private tain, but no one suspected the
matter was being considered by the grand
Jury until Wednesday evening, 'when tho
Information was convoyed to a few political
friends of Mr. Meserve, by C. J. Smyth,
former attorney general, and by Joo Edger
lon, who wns secretary of the State Board
or Irrigation, during, ktbe lost years of Us
nxfat'enqc. These tW6 men served, tho state
with Mr. Moserve In the so-called reform
administration. They came to Lincoln
Wednesday night to break the news of tho
proceeding In the Douglas county grand
Jury. n. E. L. Hertlman and a few other
well known fuslonlstn wero taken Into their
confidence, but aside, from them tho an
nouncement of the Indictment was a sur
prise toall.
In the Meservo homo on G street tho
news was a depressing blow, from which
tho family has not yet recovered. Mr.
Meserve formed a stock company several
months ago, to cngago In the business of
manufacturing patent pockotbooks, and Mr.
Edgerton' Is his principal business asso
ciate. "The action of the grand Jury of Douglas
county Is surprising," said a man today
,who was connected with the former admini
stration, "for wo all thought the political
adversaries of Mr: Meservo had exhausted
their ammunition long before ho retired
from office. It it truethat Mr. Meserve
was n poor man when he went Into the
treasurer's office. He served there four
years and drow $10,000 salary during that
period. There were frequent charges that
ho paid upward of $19,400 of old In
debtedness after going Into office, but none
of them has been verified, and nrobably
never will be."
It Is known here that Mr, Meserve no
gotlatcd several months ago for the pur
chase of one of the largest banks In Adams
couuty and that the deal, after being al
most consummated, fell through because of
a dispute among the owners, but, not be
cause of Mr. Mcsorvo's Inability to buy.
