Y. M. C. A. Building, Corner Sixteenth and Douglas Sts
M the basis of a good Joke which
be wanted to play on the parting to whom
that rather tropical letter was addressed.
Repeatedly the lawyers attempted to re
fresh Mr. Clancey's memory on certain
things Savage had said relating to this ci
gar box, but the best the former secretary
could do was barely to remember that bis
superior had caused to be written that
famous letter and Incidentally, once or
twtce, referred to such a tbtng as a cigar
box or cigars, Clanccy had almost forgot
ten which.
"The governor never told me anything of
Hartley's defalcation, " aald Clanccy. "I
know of nothing that would go to make up
bis defalcations, and I don't believe the
governor does, for had he, he would have
exerted his efforts to cover them back Into
the treasury. I don't believe the governor
ever held that cigar box In his possession.
Of course he might without my knowledge,
but I don't believe so. I think the gov
ernor was Joking In the letter to Mr. Rose
water." Justice Holcomb was the last to testify.
He arid:
"I began my first term In January, 1895,
as Bartley began his second and last term.
I examined his books as state treasurer
with him and his chief assistant, Mr. Bart
lett. The principal work was to verify
funds In the state depositories and the
tatus of the educational or trust fund.
There were but two banks where funds
had been deposited that failed, the Lin
coln Savings bank and a bank at Kearney.
All funds deposited were accounted for by
howlng the banks containing the money.
I found no record of any personal accounts
or loans made by Hartley to Individuals."
No Personal Notes In Ho.
The governor explained that he waa the
author of the expression, the "cigar box,"
In this relation, having originated It In a
ttatement he made In the course of his
testimony in the first Bartley trial at
Omaha, when he referred to a small re
ceptacle containing thirty, forty or fifty
lips of paper representing the funds that
were In Bartley'a custody. He thought
the receptacle was small box about like a
cigar box; but It might have been a drawer
or something else. At any rate, the Judge
testified that ha had keen, counted and
examined, every one of these slips and
knsw of the real existence, therefore, of
"A" box with slips in it. He. found there
no personal notes or other evidences of
Individual' transactions. Speaking of the
certlflcaUS of deposit which Bartley pro
duced at the beginning of hta second term,
Judge Holcomb said he was satisfied tbey
were genuine and valid. He said that but
one of the banks holding trust funds failed,
the Atkinson bank. Bartley'a own bank,
where be thought $50,000 or $60,000 was
deposited. Judge Holcomb told of reject
ing Bartley'a first bond and accepting bis
aecond, and then of the steps leading up
to the action brought by the state through
bis (Holcomb's) roraiage to tte legislature,
to recover money that Bartley was short,
ever $500,000. He seid Bartley kept stall
ing him oft wltb promises to reimburse
the treasury, but only paid back about
$40,000, and since his accusation, nothing
that he knew of.
E. Rosewater was requested to come down
from Omaha and appear. He waa present,
but after bearing these three witnesses
the committee adjourned until 8:30 Tues
day morning and asked Mr. Rosewater to
appear at that time. Bartley was not
present to testify. He was not served
with the subpoena Issued for him by the
committee and placed in the bands of Sor-geant-at-Arma
Wilts of the bouse. It is
aid be baa left the city to escape service.
Com mil tea Match Pot Out.
Bubpoenaes wer Issued for Joseph S.
Bartley and R. J. Clancey, former secretary
to former Governor 8avage. The subpoe
naea were placed in the hands of Sergeant-at-Arms
Wiltse of the house for service,
and Wiltse failed to serve the one on Bart
ley, representing to the committeemen that
he was unable to find him. Further efforts
will be made to get the '.subpoena served.
A member of the committee said today that
If Wiltse did not serve the subpoena and
did not satisfy the committee of hla In
ability 'to locate his man, he might find
himself the subject of Investigation. The
committee does not wish to endure the
odium which naturally attaches to the fail
ure of service of this subpoena.
Wiltse say he went to Bartley'a house
Friday and found that be was out of the
elty and told the committee that he bad
not returned.
"The truth of the matter is." said Chair
man Knox and Representative Kennedy of
thta committee, "Wlltae himself went home
to Frontier , county Saturday mcnlng and
carried the subpoena In his pocket. He Is
In a poor position to say whether or not
Bartley baa been in Lincoln when he him
elf only got back this morning."
It Is generally believed that Bartley is In
the city. The committeemen avow the de
termination of having the subpoena served
on blm. Some of Bartley'a friends were
quoted last week as saying that the de
faulting official would have no objections to

that be had not done bis
duty In serving this subpoena.
Conservatory of Maile Scheme.
Having failed In their attempt to have
Incorporated In th general appropriation
bill the Item of $.'0,000 for the purchase of
the Conservatory of Music, building and
contents, at Eleventh and R streets, Lln
roln, to be n.ade an adjunct of the State
university, the Lancaster county delegation
are now endeavoring to have this proposi
tion embodied In a separate bill. The plan
Is to frame a bill empowering the board of
regents to borrow $50,000 in the name of
the state on their own responsibility, to be
paid back out of the proceeds of the con
servatory, after it becomes atate property.
Representative McClay of Lancaster
county, who Is on the house finance ways
and means committee,-Is the champion of
this proposition, although he has the co
operation of the remainder of his delega
tion. Apparently his co-operation ceases
there, however, for the proposition does
not seem to commend itself to any other
members of the legislature. The effort to
get the appropriation In the general bill
failed because the majority of the finance
ways and means committee was strongly
against It. Aa a matter of fact, this Item
actually was put in the appropriation bill
and came near going through, but lta dis
covery was made Just in time by the com
mittee. Asked how the Item got .u the
bill In the flrBt place, If the majority of
the committee was opposed to it, a member
of the committee said:
"It was put In there by main force. The
bill was secured and the Item written
down that's how It got there."
This property la owned by Prof. Kimball
of the university and conducted as a pri
vate concern, though nominally in conjunc
tion with the university. Prof. Kimball
pockets the proceeds, which Representa
tive McClay says amount annually to $25,
000. ' The building was erected. It Is said,
ten yean ago. Of course, the proposition
Is for the atate to get all the pianos and
other equipment for this $50,000. '
Two Statements of Case.
Representative McClay today said:
"This Is a hobby of Chancellor Andrewsi
The chancellor says Trot. Kimball realizes
$25,000 a year off this institution and thinks
it Is a shame for the state not to acquire
It. He is sure the university management
could make the property just, as profitable
from a financial standpoint aa It Is now.
It not more so and then, he considers
(hat It would be a fine thing for the Uni
versity to have as its own." . ,
One of tbe members of the finance com-
mlttee said in reference to the. matter:
"It Chancellor Andrewa la so anxious to
have the state acquire this property it
seems mighty strange he has not presented
the Idea to this committee.' He has ap
peared before our committee a number of
times since this legislature convened
and has talked of a number of proposi
tions In connection with the work and
welfare of the State university, but not
once has he ever referred. In the remotest
way, to this proposition. So, we are com
pelled to bellove that the enthusiasm of
the Lancaster county members has led tbem
to deceive themselves aa to the chancellor's
wishes. The chancellor Is not a man to
stand back and keep silent when he has
something to cay and be certainly would
have not been so reticent as this If he
was aeeklng such an Important object as
that accredited to him.
"The whole proposition Is absurd. In the
first place It looks Incredible that a man
would be willing to sell for $50,000 prop
erty off which he could realize $25,000 a
year. That strikes me and tbe rest of tbe
committee as a queer thing Indeed. And
It Is stilt queerer the teal with which the
Lancaster county men are pushing the
scheme in which no one seems to have any
Interest, except to defeat It."
Statna of Revenue Bill.
"The Boe correctly and succlntly stated
the case Sunday as to tne status of tbe rev
enue bill and the alarm of the railroads,"
said Representative Perry of Furnas toda).
"The railroads are alarmed and well tbey
may be, for their opponents, tbe members
who are endeavoring to bring about positive
revenue revision, are getting results. If
the bill was put to a vote today I feel sure
the railroads would be defeated. Tbe
amendment which I have proposed, to add
the market value of tbe capital stock to
the bonded and floating Indebtedness as
means of getting at the entire property
value of tbe railroads for the purposes of
taxation, would carry, if It could be put
to a vote, today. There are thirty repub
licans in the bouse who would vote for It,
and then, counting the twenty-two fusion
ista who voted for H. R. $30, we would
have one more than enough to defeat tbe
railroads."
No question but that the railroads are
alarmed. Aa everybody knows, It bad been
definitely settled to report the revenue bill,
with Its fifty amendments, for final action
to the house tonight. A motion carried pro
viding for night meetings, beginning to
night, for the exclusive purpose of acting
on this measure, and tbe railroads bad done
their utmost to amend this motion.
Not since tbe session convened bave tbe
railroad lobbyists been as busy on tbe floor
of the house and In tbe lobblea and com
mittee rooms as they are today. Brazenly
and with no effort at concealing their op
erations they bave put In the day "seeing"
members doubtful slaters.
Tbe events of today serve to recall that
resolution which Representative Perry In
troduced early in the session, excluding
"professional lobbyists" from the floor,
lobbies and committee rooms of the house,
and tbe fact that it waa tabled and never
resurrected. Tbey also serve to revive the
arguments made by certain members, that
there was no occasion for such a resolution,
since "professional lobbyists" had not been
plying tbelr craft in these places. Aa a
matter of fact, there baa not been a day
during this session that the "professional
lobbyists" bave not been on the floor of
tbe house. Some of them, J. H. Ager, the
Burlington pas distributor and others, are
as regular and punctual In tbelr attendance
as any member and they make no shew at
disguising the fart, either, knowing tbere la
no necessity for It.
"1 don't know whether we will be able
to keep all our men In line or not," said
Mr. Perry. And the doubt certainly Is well
expressed.
Backset for Railroads.
The petition from Richardson county tsx
payers to their members In tbe legislature
waa presented tonight. It will likely -e-tnove
three votes from the railroad column
and Is the first serious backset the rail
roads have had. The passage of house roll
330 or Its equivalent Is still a possibility.
Following Is the petition:
To the Honorable Charles I. Norris, It.

Wabash Case.
NO INTENTION TO VIOLATE THE UW
Brotherhood fay It Has Not F.ven
Attempted to Pern re Employ
meat of All I nlon Men
by the Company.
ST. LOUIS, March 9. Every charge made
by the Wabash Is categorically denied by
the unions in their answer to the court
strike Injunction filed today Judge Adams
received the reply and in the forenoon will
set a date for arguments.
The motion to dissolve the Injunction,
briefly stated. Is based on the grounds that
the writ of injunction was Improvldently
granted; that charges of Illegal conspiracy
contained In the bill of complaint are un
founded and disproved; that tbere Is no
equity In the bill of complaint; that the
Injunction was Issued without notice, and
that all the material charges In the bill
are fully denied.
President Ramsey of the Wabash and the
company's counsel began to prepare their
arguments against the answer immediately
after It was filed and continued busily at
work all day and far Into the night.
The answer contained about 15,000 words.
A synopsis follows:
Answer to Injunction.
The answer as filed Is a Joint and neveral
answer of all the defendants named In the
bill of complaint and against which the
Injunction Issued.
It Is a specific denial that the Wabash
railway was ever a union or brotherhood
road employing excljslvely union or broth
erhood members In Its, service, and also
denying that the Brotherhood of Hallway
Trainmen and the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen, the organizations Involved
In this proceedng. ever marie any ilomnml
or attempt to compel ths Wabash railwuy
to place any restrictions upon Its employes
as to their connection with any brotherhood
or union.
It specifically denies that such organiza
tion ever participated In any wny in the
I'ullman pal ice car employes strike In 1MM,
an charged in the bill of complaint, und

have for years had grievances and differ
ences wLth respect to the amount of wages
paid and the rules and regulations govern
ing the service of employes in their re
spective lines of employment.
Origin of Controversy.
That this controversy arises not only
from complaints of members of the respec
tive brotherhoods, but from the ranks of
the employes not members of the u-opec-t've
brotherhoods Involved In the injunc
tion proceedings, and thai, the effort on the
nart of the grievance committees and the
ofllcers of the Brotherhood of lUI'.way

motive Firemen are as representatives of
over 1.2O0 of the employes of the "Wabash
Hallway company engaged as switchmen,
brakemen and firemen UDon its several lines
of railway In the United States.
Tho answer states that the several em
ployes engaged In the train service of the
Wabash Railway company have frequently
presented their grievances to the Wabash
officials for adjustment and a settlement,
and that the officers of said company have
persistently refused to take up and con
sider or discuss sjch grievances with the
several employes from time to time during
the last few years, or make any reasonable
permanent rules or regulations governing
the service of their respective employes,
and that thta continued valley on the part
of the officials of the company finally
culminated in presenting the grievances and
complaint to the several boards of the ad
justment and grievance committee of the
two labor organizational i known aa the
Brotherhood of Locomotive, .Firemen and
the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen.

excuse or other and Compelled to leave
without any satisfaction or definite under

would do with reference to each complaints.
The defendants deny that the labor or

ment whatsoever existing between such em
ployes and the Wabash, or that any of the
defendants at any time or In any way un
lawfully conspired to attempt maliciously
to Interfere ylth or prevent the operation
of W'ubash trains or prevent that railroad
from ran-vlng out any of Its contracts with
shippers for the transportation of property
or In any way to prevent the complainant
from affording reasonable, proper and equal
facilities for Interchange of Iralnc between

Dens- Vain Promises.
It Is denleiT that the defendants recently

Wabash employes that they would get an
Increase of wages for them, but admit that
they represented to the complainant that
many of Its employes were dissatisfied with
tho wages paid and tbe rules and regula
tions governing thi lr employment; but statj
the fact to be that at the request of many
of the WnbnBh employes thev had been en
deavoring for a long time to have such
grievances settled and adjusted with the
Wabash company nnd had conferred to
gether and agreed to present their several
grievances Jointly and Insist upon a fnlr
consideration thereof and adjustment of
same by said complainant for and In be.
half of the employes they represented, and
insisted that such settlement should be
mode for said several employes In their re
spective lines of employment as a whole
and not singly and separately, as they had
heretofore endeavored to bring about.
The defendants deny that the Wabash
cannot accede to the demands for such In
crease In the wages, Hnd the notification
of the rules and regulations governing em
ployment without vla-'atlng its contracts
with many of its employes and without
seriously Interfering with the operation of
Its different lines, and deny that such con
cessions as requested would Interfere with
the Wabash In the performance of Its duty
as common carrier or In respect to the In
terstate commerce law or in operating its
mall trains, as l alleged.
The defendants further denv thnt thev
ever maliciously threatened to order a
strike, but state that they did represent to
the Wabash that many of Its employes had
determined to withdraw from Its employ
ment unless It acceded to reasonable de
mands and requests made by the defend
ants In their behalf In the payment of
wages and changes In rules, but that if a
etrlke should occur It would be a voluntary
act on the part of the employes.
It Is further denied that any attempt was
made to induce a strike by letters or cir
culars, but If any inflammatory letters or
circulars were sent out It was not done by
any committee or officer of said labor or
ganization or by their approval or consent.
The defendants further deny that the
Wabash Is entitled to the relief praved for
or any part thereof, and now having fully
answered all the allegations and chnrges In
the bill of complaint they deny the same
and pray the same advantage as their
anewer as though they had specifically
and separately pledged or demurred to each
and every allegation or charge contained
inereln.
Unions Voluntary Associations.
The defendants say the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen are voluntary bene
ficial associations; that they were organ
ized for the purpose of uniting their mem
bers and elevating their social, moral and
Intellectual standards, and for the protec
tion of their Interests and promotion of
their general welfare. It is the aim of the
brotherhoods to cultivate a spirit of har
mony among the members upon the basis
of equity and Justice, and that the cardinal
principles are protection, charity, sobriety
and Industry. With the answer were filed
copies of constitutions, bylaws, rules and
regulations of the brotherhoods.
the defendants state that all differences
and grievances now In controversy between
tne employes ana tne waDasn were in
itiated from the ranks of the employes and
presented to the respective grievance com
mittees from time to time and were by the
grievance committee presented to the offi
cials of the Wabash railway and that they
were unauie to settle the same and were
referred to the Joint protective board,
which presented them to the president of
the Wabash road, and that he refused to
take up or give the grievances reasonable
consideration or adjust the same with the
said protective Doard.
The defendants further answer that after
each of the boards and committees of the
respective organizations had attempted to
adjust their several differences and griev
ances with the Wabash and had failed It
was, resolved and agreed between them
that they should thereafter work together
for the good of all parties whom they rep
resented. A record was kept of all pro
ceedings of the Joint committees and boards
and the transcript of this record is also
tiled aa a part of the answer.
Many letters passed between President
Ramsey and the committee having the ad
justment of grievances in charge. Copies
of these letters are filed as an exhibit. The
defendants state that during their attempts
to adjust differences with President Ramsey
it was stated by him that he received them
only as Individuals and refused to con
sider the grievances aa being represented
by representatives of said respective organ
izations and that thereupon about 1.2m) of
the employes executed a written authority
to the defendants to represent them and
secure an adjustment of grievances. When
this authcrlty was presented to President
Ramsey he refused to consider It. The de
fendants declared that they had made every
reasonable effort with the Wabash to ad
JjBt their differences. The defendants
Jointly and severally further answering the
said bill of complaint of the Wabash deny
that the said complainant Is entitled to
the relief or any part thereof as prayed
for In the said bill of complaint, and henco
pray to bo dismissed with their reasonable
costs in this behalf most wrongfully sus
tained. COLLIDING H0RSES UNSEAT

Tells of His Cure by
PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
Earth's Best Spring Medicine
Spring showers, warm and Rlowlns; sun
shine and bright skies cannot contribute
to the pleasure and enjoyment of the sick
and diseased to any extent. Tain, anxiety,
gloomy fears and the tbousht of death all
combine at the present time to make the
lives of such dark find ntisf table.
Arn you debilitated, nervous, sleepless,
dyspeptic, rheumatic or tormented with
neuralgia? Have you deadly kidney dis
ease? Is your liver torpid and diseased?
If so, Talne s Celery Compound will raise
you from tho fearful pit of danger. It
saved the life of Mr. J. D. Leisure of Green
wood, Ind.. after tho utter failure of medi
cal specialists. You, dear sufferer, can
command the tis of the fame heaven
blessed medicine for your weakness and 111
r.ess. it will give you what you seek for
health and new hitppine. Mr. Leisure,
secretary of Greenwood lodge No. 4.18,
Mystic Workers of the World, says:
"I used Talne's Celery Compound for
general debility, run down nervous sys
tem and an aggravated ense of Indigestion.
I had spent over J200 wlih physicians, some
of them specialists, but only obtained tem
porary relief. I also tried all patent medi
cines of any nolo which were recommended
for casee such us mine, but with no better
results than that odtalned from treatment
of physicians. The last medicine I tried was
Talne's Celery . Compound, which gave
me relief from tho very start. I have
taken nearly six bottles and am happy to
soy am now enjoying tho bent of health.
I can cat anything, sleep well, feel well,
and am gaining in weight every day. To
Paine's Celery Compound I owe my present
good health."
