LINCOLN, Sept. 15. (Special Telrgrem.) The last of the penalty suits brought by Constantino J. Bmyth during bla tenure ai attorney general against the railroads of Nebraska la about to be expunged from the records of the supreme court of the state. Early In I960 the fusion attorney general began several cases, taking In practically very railroad doing business In the state, nd asking that the court assess penalties aggregating 13,000,000 for alleged violations ef the maximum freight laws. One by one the suits have been abandoned and dis missed until the only one remaining was that against the Union Pacific, the amount which Mr. Smyth asked the road to con tribute to the state exceeding $. 000.000. The t'nlon Pacific case, after running the gamut of the co6rta' delays for over two years, wss referred some time ago to ref erees to take testimony and report to the court, with . findings thereon. E. R. Duf fle and Ed P. Smith of Omaha were named by the court as referees. Their report wss filed with the court today. The documenl asserts that exhaustive Inquiry Into the tes timony and the law leads to the conclusion that the penalities cannot be legally exsed from the railroad company. They recom mend that the statute be declared "uncon stitutional, Inoperative and void, and that the action be dismissed. " ' '' The court Is . expected to approve the recommendation at Ita September sitting, beginning tomorrow. The finding of the United States supreme court In the Ne braska maximum rate cases. It is under Stood, was the determining factor with the referees in disapproving the suits. "vase Recover Ilia Diamond. Governor Exra P. Savage turned Dio genes last night and, armed with a lan tern, stalked the streets of Lincoln. The executive . waa searching for a diamond, a large four or Ave carat sparklei, which he had loat from his shirt front. Governor and Mrs. Savage visited friends In the uburbs In the evening, returning home late. Then It was that the stone was dis covered to be missing. . Mrs. Savage was certain It waa In Its accustomed place as they were about to return home. Procur ing a lantern, the governor walked from the executive mansion to street corner in the business center, where he had pre viously changed street cars. The search waa rewarded after a half an hour, by the governor seeing the gem shining from a crevioe In the pavement. Governor Sav age would, not estimate the valae of the stone, which 1s a large one, and was given to him by friends In South Omaha on his tcoessloa to the executive chair. Coateatloa Over Water of Platte. The contention over the right to take the lower waters of the Platte river for power purposes assumed a new phaee to day. Andrew Rosewater of Omaha pre sented to Secretary Dobson of the State Board of Irrigation an amended applica tion for right to take the water. His previous application had been protested by J. E. Riley, promoter of the Platts tnouth Power company, and hearing on thla protest will ocour before the irrigation . board about October 'L " 7 . " ' Mr. Rosewater'a new application pro vides for the tapping of the Platte river a few miles below the town of Valley on the north aide of the river and Just above the mouth of the Elkhorn. He proposea to conduct part of the water from the Platte Into the main stream of the Elk horn, below which a dam will be built, and from this sufficient head Is to be ob tained te give a fall of fifty feet. The specifications provide for a developed horse power of. 25,000. Several miles be low another reservoir Is to be constructed which will furnish an additional 25.000 horse power. The estimated cost of the undertaking la $2,000,000. The Riley canal would not be harmed by the amended Rosewater plans, provid ing only the' tatter's upper reservoir Is constructed, the water from which would later flow Into the Riley ditch. It Is now suggested that a compromise has possibly been effected by which the two canals may be built without one Infringing upon the other. Foor New Baaks. Four more state banks will be added to the roll of Nebraska'a financial institutions, providing tbelr applications to carry on a banking business ara favorably acted upon by the State Banking Board.

ON THE TRAIL0F NIEGENFIND Two C'laes to Whereabaats of Mar derer, bnt Mont Probable Owe froaa Pllsrer. PIERCE, Neb., Sept. 15. (Special Tele gram.) County Attorney Barnhart, who la directing the pursuit of Nlegenflod. the Pierce county murderer, has two clues as to his whereabouts. It waa reported this morning that two traveling men saw a man answering his description last Friday be tween Crofton and Hartlngton. Another re port waa received this morning from Con stable G. W. Goff and Defect 've Franklin, who are Stanton. They say th-t a man told them that he was acquainted with Niegenflnd and that on Saturday Niegenflnd rode with hi ji nearly tc Fllger. The man lid not know that Niegenflnd was charged with murder. Constable Goff thinks they are about four hours behind the murderer. Henry Carsten, a farmer ani. a bacholor, living about four miles southeast of where the murder was committed, aays that Nie genflnd stayed with h'm all night after the murder was committed. All be said was that he and Breyer had had a fight anl that maybe he had killed Breyer. That a wagon went past the bouse thnt night and that Niegenflnd rose up In be! an l cocked his revolver and eald if the sheriff came after him he would shoot him. That If he were kurrounded by too many men. hi would kill himself. Carsten said Niegenflnd was prepared to get out any Uuin as be did not take off hla clo'.hes when ho retired. Nlt genflnd rode wl'.l him mi to a load of bogs until lthln one mile of Wlnalde when he left, going south. Car-tor went to Win- elde with another load of hogs the next day, but heard nothing of the murder, until on the road home. He was Informed of It but refused to believe It until be asked his neighbor, August Koerttug, vrho told him It was true. The county rommi. .inner! held a meet lng today and offered a reward of $300 for the capture of Niegenflnd. . The funeral of Albert Breyer and daughter held yesterday was largely attended. Mr. Breyer was an old aettler in Pierce county and was a highly respected citizen. MINISTERS GO OUT SLUMMING Tell Concrearatlona on Honda- Who They Saw la the Disreputable riaeee. ... HASTINGS, Neb., Sept. 16. (Special.) A thunderbolt from a dear sky penetrated nearly al the prominent churches of Hast ings yesterday morning when the respective ministers began their aermona by telling a few facts which they had seen and learned about the places of degradation In Hastings and the people who visit them. It seema the clergy of thla city conceived the Idea of vis iting all tbe palaces of sin and places of iniquity In the city, and last week tbey put their Idea into action. Before starting they found themselves wondering how they could gain admittance into the places of vice, but soon they learned that all doors swing open, even to them, and they also found all that they were looking for, and more too. Rev. Van Dyke of the Presbyterian church said In his sermon yesterday morning that In every den or disreputable place tbe min isters visited they found a member of some one of their churcbea there, apparently en- Joying himself. Mr. Van Dyke further said that he did not hold Mayor Mtlea to blame for these dens of Iniquity in the city, because the mayor was enforcing the laws according to the manner In which the church membera desired It. The sermons were all full of Ore and were quite sensa tional. From all accounts the male members of the various churches must have had a "hunch," for tbey were conspicuous by their absence from church yesterday. 'Wholesale Grocery for York. YORK. Neb., 8ept. 15. (Special.) It is nearly an aasured fact that York will toon have a wholsale grocery house. Last week parties Interested came here and aecured options on trackage property near the Bur lington depot and on Lincoln avenue. They asked part lea whom they talked with to not aay anything about It. It Is supposed that the parties are either interested in one of Omaha's wholesale houses or are aome of the leading employea who expect to go In business for themselves. York's geo graphical location Is such that It would make one of the best distributing polnta in eastern Nebraska. Its railroad facilities are I the very best. Railroads run out of York In every direction. If something should happen that these parties do not build and start a wholesale grocery house, there are parties here who are becoming Interested and may start one. Polities r.t Treaatsea. TECl'MSEH. Neb., Sept IS. (Special.) Now that both the republican and the fusion county conventions have been called, things political In this county are on the boom. A county attorney, member cf the house of representatives end a commissioner from the Third district is all the officers there are to elect this fall.

The recent frosts have done some damage to corn, but to what extent Is not yet known. Many farmers believe that It baa damaged the very late corn, and others think that even the late corn was out of the way. Ycrk county corn crop will yield from fifty to ninety bushels to the acre, and a groat part of It will be fed te cattle and hogs. THE OMAHA DAIIE BEE; TUES1A, SEL'YKMllETl 1(T, 1002. GUARDSMEN STAT AT ROME Bovirner laTage Assign Lack of fnidi u One ef the Reasons. UNION PACIFIC STRIKE IS THE OTHER Etprruei Fear that Militia May Be Wanted to Sannreoa Violence Win They Are Attending the Manenvers. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, 8ept. 15. (Special.) The Ne braska National guard will not take part in the coming fall maneuvers at Fort Riley, Kan. Governor Savage today made public the following statement upon the subject: Arter looking into the matter fully I have concluded that Nebraska Is not In position to accept of the Invitation of the War de partment to mobilise the National guard at Fort Riley, and I have advised Adju tant General Colby to that effect. Various reasons Impelled me to that de cision. It would entail an expense of ap proximately 1:5,000. Many of the members are engaged In school work, both aa in structors and students, and to take them from their work at this time for a period of two weeks would work a hardship on them and seriously Interfere with the edu cational machinery of the state. My policy has been throughout my administration to require each institution and each depart ment to keep within the amount appropri ated and guard against expenditures In excess of that amount. The unexpended portion of the money appropriated for the National guard la sufficient to defray In cidental expenses only, and such expense as would result from moblllzatlng at Fort Riley would have to be met by a deficiency appropriation, a proposition -I am unal terably opposed to.' Another reason why I deem It unwise Is the industrial situation. For some time a strike has been In progress on one of the principal railway corporations, and while no request for troops haa yet been made. It la liable to come at any time, and It Is necessary that the state shall be prepared to respond promptly. To send the troops out of the state In face of such conditions would be unwise, if not perilous. However, that Nebraska may reap some of the benefit 1 have accepted an invita tion from Adjutant General C'orbln to send a committee of officers of the guard, and I have appointed Adjutant General Colby Itrlgadler General Barry Inspector General Hills, Surgeon General Evans. Colonel Wil liam Hayward, Colonel Harry L. Archer, Captain W. K. Brooks and Captain Bamuel E. Yoder as said committee. Unless detained by official business I shall attend the exercises myself. Will Make bat One Speech. The hopes of LIncolnites who wanted to hear two speeches from President Roose velt on the occasion of his visit to this city were dashed today by a telegram from Secretary Cortelyou, in which he said that tbe president declined to make more than one talk in any city. The arrangement was to have him address one gathering at the capltol grounds and another from the balcony of the Lincoln hotel. The program of entertainment will em brace a big procession and a general wel come. The president will be here one hour. He will be escorted to the capltol by a cordon of police and militiamen and citizens and uniformed organizations. Gov ernor Savage will Introduce the president, but will make no speech. Following the president's address a reception will be held. The street cars will not run during the hour the chief executive Is here. Thla was decided upon as a certain means of avoid ing any repetition of the Plttifleld tragedy. Mr. Day Will Walt. George A. Day of Omaha, one of the commissioners of the supreme court, who haa been tendered' tbe Fourth district judgeship made vacant by Judge Keysor's resignation, had a long conference with the governor today. It is understood that he will hot make hla decision until after the judicial convention la held. If he secures the nomination he will accept the appoint ment to tbe vacancy, while it someone else Is nominated he will retain tbe commit slonership. Commissioners la a Mqaabble. The minority and the majority In tbe Board of County Commissioners have again clashed. The trouble began some months ago, when Commissioner Tllton, conclud ing that he bad been duped Into giving a favorite, of Mr. Welton the remunerative contract for building tbe county bridges. In stigated proceedings which resulted In tbe annulment of the contract. In delivering Its opinion the court reprimanded the com missioners for tbe careless manner In which they let the contract and the haste displayed. This led to a feud between Tllton on one side and Welton and Borgelt on the other. An effort waa made to block Tllton's re nomlnatlon, but tbe convention was held too soon to make It possible to do this. Tllton lives In the most overwhelmingly republican district in the county, and a fight against bis re-election was found to be hopeless. At a meeting of the majority faction late Saturday evening a resolution was passed redisricting the county. It was not made public until today, and the fact that It makes it nearly an even ques tion whether Tllton can be re-elected from the new district has caused considerable comment. Friends of the commissioner say that It Is an attempt on the part of the other faction to make It possible to defeat blm at tbe polls. Tbe majority faction in sists that It was done to equalize the vot ing strength of the three districts. Wel ton had a close call when be ran, because all of the populist precincts in tbe county are In his district. He la said to desire a third term and wants to make himself safe. Another reason assigned is that Borgelt, who has moved from the Second ward to the Fifth, wanted the district changed so that he would be In line for a second term. By the redisricting the 1 Firth, formerly in Tllton's district. Is added to Borgelt's, and the Third ward, which has a candidate or two already for next year, is tacked onto a country district. By the new arrangement the city has one commissioner exclusively and the country two. Bald to Be la Hiding. Mrs. Albert Secbrest, alias Mrs. George Hertzler, the Lincoln woman who has been the central figure In a Kansaa City sen satlon, where she was discovered to be posing as the wife of two different men. Is said to bo hiding In this city. There Is no pending charge against ber In the Missouri city, but sbe doea not want to see ts porters. Her friends say that she Is pre paring to go back and confront her alleged slanderers. Secbrest, the man she claims is ber husband, was killed tbere last June, and Hertzler, who claims her aa his wife, Is a railroad yardmaster. The woman's mother, Mrs. John Strlne, lives at 445 North Twenty-sixth street, but Mrs. Be chrest is not with her. The 8trines are old residents and the woman's escapade have caused a big sensation la East Lin coln society. behool Teaehera Scarce. School teachers for the rural districts of Nebraska are still a scare article. A few weeks ago the aituatlon amounted al most to a famine and. while State Superin tendent Fowler reports that the shortage has been slightly relieved, still the prob lem is a perplexing one to many seres of districts.

MAY REINSTATE STILWELL Jndare Grant's Petltloa to Discharge Receiver of Guardian Trust Com pany of Kansas City. KANSAS CITY, Sept 15. Judge Amos M. Thayer of the circuit court today granted the petition of the stockholders, represent ing Arthur E. 8tilwell to discharge tbe re ceivers of fhe Ouardlan Trust company, ap pointed over a year ago at the instigation of John W. Gates and his following. The supporters of Mr. Stilwell, who at the .time the company waa thrown into the re ceiver's bands was president of the com pany, asserted In their petition to have the receivers discharged that tbe business could be conducted more economically with them. The Gates contingent opposed the move on the theory that Stilwell desired to merge the Gulf and Trust company into tbe Mex ican Trust company. It is said that Mr. Stilwell will be reinstated as president. Judge Thayer's order authorizes the re ceiver to pay Immediate direct liabilities to tbe sum of 1199,433, and make paymenta of contingent liabilities to the amount of $31, 880, taking from the persons holding the contingent claims agreements extending the Ume for tbe oavment of tbe residue. The direct liabilities ordered to be paid Include outstanding debenture bonds, mortgages on real estate, trust funds, open accounts and 116,000 due the estate of tbe late F. M. Black, by order of the court for services as receiver. A statement accompanying Judge Thayer's memorandum shows that there is $382,397 cash available at this date to meet the re quirements of the order, and it will leave a balance of 1101,624. Judge Thayer's order authorises and di rects the receiver, immediately on the elec tion and organization of the new board of directors of the Guardian Trust company, which the court understands will be elected, and will convene on October 22, to turn over to such board all property and assets of the Guardian Trust company in his hands. The stockholders of the company at their coming meeting are to adopt a resolution In structing tbe directors of the Guardian Trust company and Its executive committee to sell to the best advantage all the real property of the company, save such as may be needed for the transaction of business. The executive committee is also to sell, col lect or otherwise reduce to money, with all convenient speed, all bonds, stocks, bills, de mands, claims and securities which the not good Interest-bearing securities, to the end that the affairs of the company may be put In a condition for speedy and convenient liquidation. The minority stockholders wbo have ob jected to the discharge of tbe receiver must be given at least one representative en the board of directors to be elected October 22, who shall also be a member of the executive committee of tbe board. If such a committee is elected. Today's order by Judge Thayer marks the near approach of the end of the Guard Ian Trust company. This company wss or ganised ss tbe Missouri, Ksnsas and Texas Trust company in 1889 by A. E. Stilwell and E. L. Martin, with an authorised cap ital stock of $1,000,000, divided Into lO.CHH) shares of $100 each. In 1899, soon after the capital stock had been increased from $1,500,000 to $2,500,000, the name was chnnged to the Guardian Trust company. Tbe efforts of John W. Gates to secure control of tbe company and oust Stilwell culminated by Gates throwing the com pany Into the hands of a receiver. This was in November, 1900. An Infant forty years ago.
