UNIVERSITY'S TRIBUTE TO MISS SMITH f a I la re to geleet Baelee Candidates at First Prlmarlee Leaves Caeltal Cltr Repnnllean Polities 1st Serleas Meddle. (Prom a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Feb. 22. (Special.) "The In terview with Joseph 8. Bartley, the de faulting atate treasurer, a published In The Bee this morning." said a prominent member of tha legislature, "stamps him aa a man of mora gall and brasenness, I won't say nerve, and with less decency than any man I ever saw. By that Interview he has mora than aver cemented sentiment against himself and his bondsmen. "Aa for Bartley and hla bondsmen being released from their obligation by the legis lature, I think there la no possible chance tor that. I was told some time ago that a considerable sentiment- had been de veloped tn favor of tha resolution which has been prepared for their release, and I took palna to Investigate It myself. I find absolutely no sentiment In favor of such a move In my part of the legislature and It la my opinion that tha resolution will never be Introduced." Bartley's own action during thla session cf the legislature haa done much to create a sentiment against him. Many nights recently he baa been aeen intoxicated in the hotela frequented by legislators. Ha plays tha part of a good fellow and those who will may Join him in hla revels. That Is the life that Joe Bartley, once re apected and honored. Is leading, to seat his own conscience to prevent it from pricking him for tha crime ha baa dona tola state and bis friends. Gain the Paee that Kill. Bartley Is going the pace that kills, and according to tha history of the lives of those of his stripe, there la avary reason to believe that some day his brain, de bauched with liquor, bis physical body i wreck, hla conscience goading him onward, Joe Bartley will tell tha people of Nebraska who It was thst got part of tha money ha embeiiled. Memorial for Mill Smith. It) Memorial hall of the State university at I o'clock this afternoon, friends at tested their love for Miss Ellen Smith by tha anmber tn which they attended tha funeral serviced over her remains. The services were conducted by .Rev. Lewis Orvgory and Dr. E. J. Tuttle, and each bora testimony to the good she who Is dead, had done, and of ber great help tn building up the university, the Interest aha had taken in all ita degrees of ad vancements, during the long number of years she wss conneoted with It. The hon . urery pall bearers were Professors Her man, Fosaler, Barber, Leesa, Bruner and Nicholson. The active pall bearers were C. 0. Chase of Omaha; Mai Westerman, A. W. Field, Prof. H. B. Ward, Will Owen Jones and J. Stuart Dalea. Miss Smith vaa a part, and her memory wtll always be a part of tha 8tata uni versity. Today In every part of tha city there are being told Incidents of her life tending1 to ahow her great love for truth and ber exactness in all the details of her work. Sha stood not In awa of any of tha great men who have been chancellor ot , the university, and It Is told ot bar that she would as soon correct tha chancellor ' If she believed bo was not carrying out tha established rulaa ot tha Institution aa aba would tha freshest freshman. : There are tiany university graduates today scattered throughout various atatea of the union who will vividly recall the tlma when they were before Miss Smith at ber request, to ahow cause why they were not up to the standard they should ha In their atudlea. Mlaa Smith as registrar kept the atanding ot the stu dents and It la aald that one Interview with ber waa sufficient to make tha atudent toe the mark during tha remainder of the year. Sha haa done good work for the atate of Nebraska' and for the people ot Ne braska. Last night O. C. Bell waa ap pointed administrator of her eatate and a hssty elimination of ber possessions was made. The examination showed that wbtla Mlaa Smith bad not accumulated a large amonnt of thla world's joorts, she bad laid by sufficient to keep her, ahould aha have become Incapacitated for wort.. A year ago the alumni ralseC an objection to the re tirement of Mlaa Smith aa registrar be- eense the members feared that sha would bo dependent It was tha Intention ot the alumni that should Miss Smith retire, sha should become the corresponding secretary of the alumni at a aalary sufficient to en able her to live comfortably the remainder of bar Ufa. Tha remains were taken to the old boms of tba deceased In Ohio tor Interment. Maddlo la City Polities. Tba primary held laat Tuesday which named tho republican candidate for mayor. haa left , tha republican party In rather a muddled and disfigured condition. And all because a second . primary board was not selected at tha same time. Next Tuc day a second primary will be held for this purpose. Tbe . trouble which makes tho victory ot the county machinery and In cidentally the Burlington railroad, perhaps a dear one. la tha fact that It failed to carry out ths pledges made to tho labor unions. In order to secure ths labor vote for Adama. It Is asserted that tha machine agreed : to land Hosklns, tha labor candldats for membership on the excise board, providing tho labor unions did all In their power to name Adama for mayor. That tha latter AT THE NATIONAL, CAPITAL, What Post am Did There. A well known figure at tho National Capital Is that of an attorney-at-law and solicitor of patenta. who has been practle- lng before the courts and the Department of tbe Interior at Washington for more than 25 years. Tbo experience of this gentle- man with coffee la unusually Interesting for It proves ttat although the 111 results from rouse arc siow mey are sure. He saya: "I have consumed coffee at my meala tor many years, but of late years have been annoyed by deranged stomach and sleep. leesnese, palna In my head, nervousness and confusion of tha mind. About 18 months ago I quit coffee and commenced to usa Postunt Food Coffee and bavs experienced the most pleasing and beneficial results therefrom. "It baa aided my digestion, Increased my appetite for healthy food, appeased my atamech. invigorated my brain, cleared and quieted nervea and mind, and enabled me to sleep soundly I hours out ot the 24. It has Imparted buoyancy aad cheerfulness to my dally life aad caused me to look on. the bright aide of things In general. It baa fitted mo to do' more brain work than ever before, and I would consider It a calamity to be deprived of Ita uae. "I look on Poetum as aa absolute euro for the ills that coffee raatea. It not only cures the ravages of coffee but stimulates to vigor and healthy action the brain and all the organs of the human body. It haa with ma and with many of my friends and this la sty authority for the statement." Name furnished by Postum Co.. Battle kept their pledge is attested by the fact that In those wards wherein most of the laboring people reside. Adams received a large majority of the vote. That the ma chine failed to keep Ita agreement la at tested by the fact that in the "church wards," wherein the silk stockings reside, Hosklns received leas than one-halt of the vote cast for Adams. Now all of this Is very galling to the laboring people, and they are Juat now wondering very seriously hether they will again be turned down next Tuesday. Tba fact that the excise board was not named last Tuesday plaoes tha wlnnera ot the mayoralty contest In a moat peculiar position. They supported Adams on a plat form pledged to a high aaloon license. Now they are called upon to keep an agreement and support men known to favor the 11,000 license for excisemen. And IT the machine fails to land Hosklns, the labor candidate, then It la more than probable that the labor vote will not go to the republican candldatea at the election. For the labor ing men say tbey are not to be trifled with. Machine la Tisjht Plaee. There la ground for the atatement that tha machine baa been very quiet since the nomination of Adams and has left Hos klns to get his Votes the best way be can. So patent has this been that ths labor element haa demanded that the machine do something or say It will not. So, at last the machine has started out In an attempt to land Hosklns. Both Wolfe and Hoaklas refused to draw oil when com promise wss offered whereby one ot tbe Winnett men was to withdraw provided tbe machine withdrew one of Its candidates. Wolfs refused because be bad been the can didate of .the labor unlona, and has been promised, so It Is said. Now It Is up to tha machine, for It Is not likely that both can be elected; for tbe people apparently are In favor of a high license. One Winnett man and one machine man can be elected, for that will mean tba retention of the high llceose. And If either Wolfe or Hosklns Is defeated It will mean tha weakening of the machine. ' In the meantime, owing to the fact that considerable feeling has been engendered by the primary, a very extraordinary and somewhat sensational story haa been set afloat. This Is to the effect that the Com mercial club, which was an ardent supporter ot Winnett, was largely responsible for tba action of ths Lancaster delegation In throwing down the people ot Lincoln and other cities Sod standing squarely for the railrcads on the question ot taxing ter minal propertlea for municipal purposes. It Is said that when the members of the Com mercial club discovered that representatives ot tha Burlington railroad Intended to make a vigorous fight on Winnett, that soma of tha members of tbe Commercial club made this agreement: That If Mr. Blgnell would draw off and leave tha cltl- tens of Lincoln to light It out among themselves that the club would withdraw Its pressure from the Lancaster delega tlon tn regard to the terminal taxation question and allow the delegation and the railroads to settle It among tnemseives, Whether this was true or not, Mr. Blgnell auiMetilv received a hunch to stop his onen light. A prominent member of tne ciuo, wnen asked in regard to the matter, said It was absolutely false and that no such agreement was made or thought of. The Lancaster delegation threw down tha people and when the Commercial club found that It could get no assistance from the delegation, It gave un the Sght for terminal taxation and quit. However, thera are soma In Lincoln who believe the story. Thus tar the democrats of the city nave not. named a date lor meir nominating convention apparently waiting for the re publlcana to get all settled before maaing a move. It la more than likely tht it Hosklns Is defeated Tuesday he or, rather. the labor unions, will be able to ao con Manhle toward naming the democratic candidates. ' tilves Lincoln a Show. A meeting somewhat gruesome was that of tha state demonstrators held here last week. Tba demonstrators are represent- tlvas of tbe medical colleges ot tbe atata. Ona Question raised waa that tha Lincoln Mllm had not received Ita ahare ot tha unclaimed dead bodies which bad been elr culated around. To make up for this and t lva the Lincoln atudenta a chance at the dead, tba other institutions agrveu w keep their handa off of all dead bodies com ing college-way until alter April i. iqib was satlafactory and tbe members present proceeded to elect tha following officers! Dr. K. A. Carr. president; ur. js. j. nsurj, Omaha, vice president; Dr. Woliott. Un coin, aecretary: Dr. Van Camp. Omaha, treaaurer. Tha demonstrators desire a onacge in tua body-getting law to atrlke out oi toe clause "relatives and friends" the word friends," designating who snail legally claim tho body. Tha demonstrators aay that soma times a friend ot a few hours in tact, who becomes acquainted with tha deceaaed after tbe latter bad put on the white wings, claims tha body to keep med leal cotlegea from getting It.

IS WRITTEN ON A SLAB OF GOLD Expenses Arc All Provided for and Meeting- of Mlalagr Congress October Promisee to Bo a Most Sneeeaafal One. DEADWOOD. S. D., Feb. 22. (Special. ) Tha Black Hills Mining Men's association on Thursday evening last held one of ths most Interesting of a long series Of In teresting meetings. Prof. C. W. Mer rill, who bss applied with such success the cyanide treatment to tha tailings from the Homestake quarts mills, read a paper describing tba character and treatment of tne Homestake ores, wltn especial reier- ence to ths effect snd cost ot the cyanide treatment on the aame. The paper has aroused' a great deal of interest among tba mining men of tbe Hills, for the auccess which Prof. Merrill has made ot that process In Its application to the tailings of tba Homestake ores has msds everyone Interested In mines tn the Hills anxious to learn a little mors ot his methods tbsn the fact that tbey are successful. The American Mining congress will meet In Deadwood and Lead on October 7 to 11 ot this yesr, and the Black Hills Mining Men's association la doing everything In Ita power to make It tbe success which It de serves to be. A special Invitation has been sent by the association to President Roosevelt to become, for at least one day, tbe gueat of the association during the meeting of the congresa, and It la probable that tbe president will accept tha Invita tion. The invitation, which was forwarded to Washington on Saturday last. Is In scribed on a slab ot 18 -carat gold. The gold was produced and rolled in the Black Hills, and tha engraving upon It Is a work of art. It la unique as an Invitation, and aside from Its artlstlo work, has an intrinsic value of several hundreds ot dollars. Tbe association Is bard at work prepar ing for the coming meeting of tbo con gress, and when the data arrives for Us conventng ths cities of Lead and Deadwood will be well prepared to handle aa large a crowd aa can be brought Into the country. All of the expenses of tha meeting have been provided for, and thera will be noth ing lacking In the way of money, hotel ac commodations, etc. Doubles 'Its Force. Edward Hanschka haa doubled tha force ot miners on the Hogan A 'Anderson ground on Elk creek. Recent developments on ths ground show that tho vein, which waa atruck In the shaft at a depth of fifty feet, growa with depth. The former Owners of the ground had run a 235-foot tunnel ort the ground, and had been driving It paral lel to tha vein, never being any further than twenty-five feet from It. Mr. Hanschka when be took possession of tbe property abandoned work In the abaft, and entered the tunnel. Ha started a drift to tba west from ths end of the tunnel, and bad not driven It twenty feet before he encountered tbe vein. Ha Is now In on tha vein twenty feet and has not found the wall. Tbe vela ta struck at this point 175 feet below tba bottom ot the fifty-foot abaft. The ore hero carries values which will average from tha numerous assays which have been made from it of $16 a ton, although much richer specimens have been taken from tba work lngs. It la tha intention Juat so soon as tha vsln haa bean creased to establish a ststlon snd then .start drifting both ways along tha course of tho vein, and after the drifts have beea driven tar enough to get out ot tha way of tho workman, to be gin on a shaft and continue It down for 300 -feet. Boarding bouses, blacksmith sbopa and offices bavs been built on ths ground during the past week, and with the beginning at the coming week a largo force ot men wilt be working on ths development ot the ground, which is one of ths best propositions In one of tho richest free milling dlstrlots of the Black HlUe. Thla property waa aold only a few weeks ago for $30,000, and had tbe owners of It In clined the tunnel In which they hsd put so many years of labor Juat a little to tha treat, tbey would nevtr have had any occa sion to sell It for so small a sum. Mr. Hanschka. the purchaser of tha property, saya that he will at once make arrange ments for tbe erection of a 100-ton wet crushing cyanide plant on tbo property, for by the time the plant la ready to run. tba ground will bo opened up sufficiently to guarantee a constant supply ot ora. Tha FUsnder strike, which Is near this ground, Is continuing to show rich ora, and In larger quantities with tha development. iney naa oeen woraing m an overnow iron) the vein, but following tbe ore a little waya up the bill tbey found where It turned down into the slates, and the vein at thla point Is eighteen feet wide, and carries as nigh values as where It was struck la the overflow. The other properties In this vi cinity are abowlng up welt. -Will Ereet a Cyanide MI1L The Gladiator Gold Mining company haa about completed arrangements for the nrnotloB of a 100-ton wet-erushlng cyanide I wWA , , located on ne naoy'a ground In Deadwood gulch, one mils I - , . , . .... . . .

The Glad iatora ground la located on tho phonollte belt and haa the aame vein which runs through the Pennsylvania. Tha develop ment of tha mine Is being rushed la sn- tlclpatlon of tha completion of the mill and la even now In abape to break out ore. Tho naina will no equipped with a complete hoisting and air compressor plant and power drills. These have been ordered and should be Installed and In operation within a few weeks. The Red Cloud group of elalma, owned by tbe aame company. Is being developed and ore will be furnished the mill from both the Gladiator and Red Cloud, which are separated only by a few hundred feet. The Gladiator company has a large acreage of ground In this vlolnlty and It Is said haa produced some phenome nally rich ore. The Jupiter company's mill on Blacktall will be ready to state up on the Bret of the month, and tbe company baa already began breaking ground In Blacktall gulch and haa It very well developed, In fact, It has bad more work dons upon It than any property In the district, and haa a vast amount ot ora exposed In tbe various work. lngs. Tbs ore U a cement, anil while It will free mill to about 40 per cent ot Ita assay values, It baa proven to be better , aa a cyanide proposition. Tbe new mill la a 150-ton cyanide plant, wet crushing, and haa been built along the lateat lines, ghat Dew a Mlaa aad Keep Mans. Work haa been temporarily aucpended In tha Horseshoe mill at Pluma and 'Its smel ter at Rapid City. Tha work on the com any's mines, however, Is being kept up and the people who aro Interested In the property do not seem to be willing to give out a statement for the eloaing down of Ita treatment plants, juat after tba new man aiement haa taken charge- Aosoo Hlgby, who has been with the company as Its local manager aver since Its organisation and baa severed his connection with It, and Superintendent Rhodda. under wboae man' agement tho mines of ths sompany have been developed, haa alee given away to a new man. Ths company owns some ot ths best mines la the Black Hills, among them being tba Lucille, whlsh baa always been considered the best proposition on tbe sail clous ore belt. It Is said, however, that so soon aa things can be stralgtened out by ths new management that operations in tha mill and smelter and work on the company's big cyanide plant at Terry will bo resumed. The Potsdam Mining company In tha Ragged Top district has lately Increased the force of miners at work on Its ground snd Is getting things In shaps for the erection of a big mill in tbe spring. The ground of this company Is close to that of tbe Spearflsh and the Dead wood -Standard, and it la said tba same ore shoots run through both properties. There wat shipped from the Deadwood assay office on Thursday bullion valued at $60,000. Thla Is tha third shipment that has been made this month, and the other two have been much larger than this. MONEY QUESTION PRESSING (orrency Leglslatl Moat Importaat Need of the Philippine Islands. CHATTANOOGA, Trnn., Feb. 22. Luka E. Wright, vice governor of tho Philip pines, wss In Cbattsnooga today, en route to Washington. Mr. Wright, discussing Philippine matters, said he considered pend ing legislation oncoming the monetary standard for the Philippines, and propoaed redaction of tarlS the most essential thing at present for the development of tbo Isl ands. At present," he said, "the value ot specls is vacillating, and thla seriously cmbar rassea trade and destroys confidence In the government." Governor Wright further said the Islands are completely psclfled', and no trouble has occurred ot a serious nstura for some time except in a small district ot the Moham medan Island of Mindanao. Civil govern ment Is supreme, and the people generally contented wKh the present regime. As to ths prevalence of cholera, he said It is confined almost entirely to tbe na tlvet, on whom no sanitary measures csn bs enforced, and It is being rapidly and thoroughly stamped out. On the subject of "military atrocities,1 the vies governor declined to talk except to say that be knew of no such cruelties as bad been charged and, of course, having nothing to do with that branch of tha gov eminent, he felt sura that reports bad been exaggerated. American soldiers bad been compelled to undergo many hardships and suffered numerous indignities at the bands of tbe rebellious natives, and ao far as be knew had acted with remarkable forbear ance and consideration. "I am of the opinion." said he, "that the talands will from this on, prosper and thrive. Already the best people among tbe natives are looking with favor on American methods, and with the development of busi ness snd Industry and spread of education among the rural population I expect to see the Filipinos under the Amerlcsn flag be come a contented, happy and prosperous people."
