(From a Stuff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Oct 1. Spectal.)-8tate Treaa
urer ' Mortensen haa devised a schema
whereby ho believe the state would save
many thousands of dollars annually In the
purchase of supplies for state Institutions
were It to be adopted, rfls plan Is to have
the State Board of Purchase and Supp'.lcs
accept the lowest bid on the several Items
In the various bids Instead of making; the
contract In bulk. It was his Intention to
take the matter up with the board during
the meeting today, end he may have done
so, but as the meeting was behind closed
dovyrs the state will have to wait until the
clerks compile the records before It will
be made public.
The supplies for the Institutions are
bought quarterly on the eat'mate of the
management of the various Institutions,
and It has been cuatqmary In the past for
the contractors to bid low on those things
that are Included on the estimate, but
which their experience teaches them will
b called for only In small quantities. If
at all, and place higher prices on those
articles of which much will be used. The
total then would be smaller than those
bids that called for legitimate prices on
all the goods, while the cost to the state
may be many hundreds of dollars In excess
of what It would have been had the lowest
bid by Items been accepted.
Governor Mickey was asked concerning
It before the meeting of the board and he
was of the opinion that the state was get
ting Ita goods Just as cheap. If not cheaper,
than ah Individual. The board today com
pleted the purchase of supplies for the In
dustrial home at Mllford.
School Foods All Invested.
The report of State Treasurer Mortensen,
filed with the auditor this morning, shows
that the treasurer had Invested all of

Governor Not 'Worried. ...
Tho fact that Lysle Abbott and I. J.
Dunn of Omaha filed a petition with Gov
ernor Mickey regarding the Omaha Boffrd
of Fire and Police Commissioners and the
Diamond, a saloon In which It la alleged
gambling Is being carried on. Is not worry
ing the governof; and' though he has. had
tha petition many days he is not yet fa
miliar with Ita contents. He was notified
yesterday that he would be given until 1
o'clock today to do something.
"From reading the petition," he said. "I
don't see. what they want me to do. They
aald yesterday that if I didn't do something
they would proceed and do It themselves.
That la what they should do. They have
their city laws and their county laws and
their officers, and It Is not my business
to mix In 'and try to run Omaha. I would
not be surprised If many laws are violated
In every town and city la the state, but
I am not to blame for It, and It la not my
business to Interfere. If gambling Is con
ducted In Omaha It la the place of these
gentlemen to put a stop to It. They will
have tha law to back them and I am sure
they have my good wishes In the matter,
for I would like to see a state were all the
laws are enforced. I have been buay and
have had no opportunity to look up the
petition very closely, but I, am. satisfied
that I am not going to try to run the city
of Omaha. Omaha la big enough to take
care of Itself."

Presldeat of Great Western Is There
' and Galas Flrat Step Toward
Beearlas; Terminal Con
Mayor Moores yesterday Issued a rail
for a special meeting of the council at
4 In the afternoon to receive and
place on first and second readings an
ordinance vacating certain streets and
alleys and making other arrangements for
the Chicago Great Western terminals be
tween Leavenworth and Pierce streets and
Sixteenth and Twentieth. Thla was done
after President Stickney had explained how
he proposed to construct the terminals and
freight house and all that he wanted.
"I do not ask for other than careful con
sideration of the ordinance," he said, "but
every day Is Important to us aa we are pre
vented from doing any less-than-cnr-load
business in Omaha until we provide our
own facilities."
Upon suggestions of the council provi
sions were Inserted In the ordinance for
maintenance of the viaducts and subways
and for lighting the same at the expense of
the railroad.
The freight house will be to the west
of the Sixteenth street viaduct midway be
tween Mason and Leavenworth streets.
The railroad will grade Sixteenth street
to a minimum and pnve between the
freight depot and Leavenworth street
The ordinance was prepared and placed
In the hands of City Attorney Wright yes
terday. Among other things It provides
for a viaduct on Mason street between
Nineteenth and Twentieth, and a subway
at Pierce street, between the same thor
oughfares. The viaduct Is to be thirty
feet wide, of frame construction, to be
made permanent of steel and other ma
terials, similar to the Sixteenth street
bridge, at the end of five years. The
Pierce street subway will have a clearance
of thirteen feet. Much grading will be
necessary for the terminal tracks as
planned, and provision is made for the
railroad to bear all expenses of changes
In sewers resultant.
streets to Be Vacated.
Streets to be vacated as set forth In the
ordinance are parts of Sixteenth west of
the viaduct. Seventeenth. Eighteenth and
Nineteenth, all between Leavenworth ind
Mason. With the exception of Nineteenth
It Is stipulated that the vacation may be as
far south as the road buys land on both
sides of the streets. At present It owns all
land adjacent to the parts of streets that
'are to be put out of commission.
The Union Pacific yards shut off Seven
teenth, Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets
at about Pierce. The Great Western In
tends to branch off from the Union Pacific
at Twentieth south of Pierce and make the
terminal tracks describe a more or less
true quarter of a circle running north be
tween Twentieth and Nineteenth to Mason,
then cutting northeasterly in the blocks
north of Mason through Nineteenth, Eight
eenth and Seventeenth, ending under the
viaduct not more than half a block from
Leavenworth street A continuous strip
of land about half a block wide has been
purchased for the entire distance.
From the owners of property lying In two
large blocks between Nineteenth and 8 x
teenth and south of Mason street to the
Union Pacific tracks and outside and ad
jacent to the right of way, a loud protest.
It la said, will come.
The ordinance la drawn In the' name of
the "Mason City & Fort Dodge Railroad
company," thit being the corporate name
of the branch of the Great Western which
has built from Fort Dodge, la., to Omaha.

FOUND DEAD IN MS ROOM
Qeorga Blaine, Old Emptoja of 0. B.
HaTcni Company, Dies Suddenly.
THEORY OF FOUL PLAY ADVOCATED
Poat-Mortem Esamlnntloa Showa Two
Brnlsea In Head Which Might
Have t'aaaed Hemorrhage,
Reaaltlns la Death.
Reclining on a little cot In a small room,
Just in the rear of the main office, the life
less body of George Blaine, an old and
trusted employe or C. B. Havens A; Co.,
coal dealers, 14d9 Webster street, was found
shortly after 7 yesterday morning. Ap
parently Blaine had been dead several hours
when discovered. He was found by Samuel
Druse, a young man who had Just been
employed ao teamster and waa going to
work.
Foul play Is the theory of the death. The
post mortem examination held by Dr. La
vender disclosed that deceased had two
fractures of the skull on the right side suf
ficient to have caused hemorrhage of the
brain which evidently produced death. A
short piece of pine wood .was found In
Blaine's room, but there was no blood on
it nor was there any sign that It had been
used to hit him with. A ybung man named
J. Delehanfy, who says he Is employed at
the Hayes feed store, was the last one to
see Blaine as far as Is now known Thurs
day night and he is "being held by the po
lice as a witness.
How He Was Foand.
When H. D. Carter, yard foreman, ar
rived at the office at 7 o'clock he found
Druse waiting on the sidewalk. Directing
him to go around to the west side of the
building and open the gate to the scales.
Carter unlocked and entered the office by
the front door. Druse went around to the
west, as directed, and opening the gate,
entered the building from the rear. Ad
vancing toward the front office he glanced
Into the room occupied by Blaine and saw
hla lifeless form stretched out on the cot.
Blaine's feet were hanging over the side
of the cot and touched the floor, his head
reclined against the west wall of the rortm
and his mouth and nostrils were filled with
clots of blood. Druse Immediately called to
Carter and together they discovered that he
waa dead. The police were Immediately
called In and Coroner Bralley notified and
an Investigation, which la still in progress,
begun.
The theory of foul play obtains among
those who worked with Blaine. They al
lege that he Invariably carried large sums
of money about with him, from S3U0 to ?500
In a roll of bills, and Robert James, a
driver for the firm, stated that to his
Vnowledge Blaine had considerable money
on his person Thursday night. When the
body was examined by the coroner 20 cents
was all the money found, and that was
taken from a vest pocket.
Mr. Carter told of the signs of a struggle
consisting of a scar on the dead man'a
head from the temple reaching up into the
lialr on the right side of the head. The left
eye, he said, also waa bruised and blacked.
Nearly all the employes of the coal com
pany hold to the theory of foul play, claim
ing that Blaine waa not a heavy drinker,
was inoffensive and attended strictly to hla
own business.
Find Whisky Flask.
A pint bottle of whisky wss found In
Blaine's room, which had probably been
purchaaed from Meyer Kelne'a saloon. Six- j
teentn ana valifornla, bearing the stamp of
that place; it was also ascertained that he
got S cents worth of beer from the saloon
of Peter Nelson at the corner of Thirteenth
and Webster. ... - ;
The deceased has a brother residing In
the city who Is said to be In the employ
of A. W. Parker company. His name Is
James Blaine and with hla family he Is
said to reside In the neighborhood if
Twenty-sixth and Decatur. The city
directory does not so ahow.
George Blaine, waa unmarried and was
about 61 years old. He had been In the
employ of the Havens company for
about seven years. About a year ago he
left Omaha and returning during the late
strike which Involved teamsters, he resumed
work as a strike breaker.
Robert James spoke to Blaine Wednesday
night about earn ing so much money around
with him. Blaine, he says, replied that
there was no danger and that he alwaya
had done It and waa not alarmed.
There waa no evidence of a struggle In
Blaine's room. Everything was found In
the usual order In which the place was
kept. There was found some evidence that
Blaine had been attacked with nausea dur
ing the night.
One Arrest Mnde.
Chief of Detectives Dunn has a large
force of men at work on the Blaine case
and has caused the arrest of a colored man
names Jeff Bates, who was, about five years
ago, convicted, the police say, on- the
charge of robbing the deceased of $300.
Bates did time in the penitentiary for his
misdemeanor and since his release has
been living In this city. He Is held merely
on suspicion, pending a thorough Investi
gation.' Coroner Bralley la awaiting the
action of the police In aaktng an investiga
tion before calling an inquest.
lamest Will Be Delayed.
Coroner Bralley said last night that ha
would not hold the Blaine Inquest for some
time, unless there are new developments In
tha caae. The police will be allowed a day
or two in which to collect evidence which
can be presented to the Jury and will fur
nish some clew as to whether It Is a case of
murder.
Chief of Detectives Dunn remained at his
office until a late hour last night outlining
the plan of work to be followed In ascer
taining the facts In the case. The chief
said it Is one of the hardest cases which
has ever confronted the department. If
Blaine had not been In the habit of telling
every ond of his possessions it would have
made the case much less difficult, but It ap
pears that every man who ever worked
with the dead man has been told by him of
the cash he possessed and Just where he
kept It. At least fifty persons were familiar
with hla financial affairs. Two or three
clews have been unearthed, and will be
followed up.

WINDUP OF THE CORN PALACE
Mitchell Takea Vuy OS nna Errrr-
a Attends tha Bla;
Show.
MITCHELL, 8. D., Oct. I. Special Tele
gram.) The corn palace exposition, which
has been held In this city for the last ten
days, came to a close this evening, when
the Eanda Rossa gave Its final concert to
an audience of Mitchell people that com
pletely filled tha building. It was Mitchell
night and royal good fellowship held sway
among the people. Just before the con
cert began the Parker band marched into
the palace and serenaded the Banda Rosso.
Dr. R. F. Dundas presented Slgnor Sor
rentlno snd his wife each with a mam
moth bouquet of flowers front the corn
palace management as a testimonial of the
high regard they entertained for the mual-
cat ability displayed during the week.
The corn palace haa been a success from
start to finish, and although the expense
has been greater than ever before there
la no doubt but the committee will pay
out without any lore whatever. The
weather haa been excellent a'l the time,
and toda It waa exceptionally good. The
attendance has been greater than In any
previous year, and the cltlsens have en
deavored to maka the stay of strangers
pleasant 'hlle in the city. Tonight the
street were turned over to the young
people and confetti-throwing haa been the
order of the evening. During the last half
of the concert in the corn palace a hilari
ous time was had with throwing confetti,
in which all the people joined. The wind- I
up was a happy one in all respects.
