NO BRIEF IN REVENUE CASE
.
fceipondenti Fail to File Prints! Argument
' M Had Been Expected.
GOSSIP ABOUT APPOINTIVE PLACES
State Treasurer Will Hare A host
fHIO.OOO to Apportion to Schools
of Various Coaatlea In
December.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Nov. 27. (Bpwlal.)-Ths 're
spondents In the revenue tax cane ta be
argued before the supreme court Tuea'ay
have failed to file their briefs ivith the
clerk of the court. H .is understood that
Senator Pemberton, whn came out of Gage
county to help enact the law. will have a
brief, ao doubtleM will City Attorney
Wright of Omaha, and possibly ao will
Attorney General Prout. Since the argu
ment in the case before the commissioners,
however, the attorney fen era I ha been
omewhat Interested In the Bartley bond
caao, and haa spent aome time on that,
which leaves him little time for the prepa
ration of a brief In the revenue case.
Inasmuch as the time set for the hearing
before the court proper Is next Tuesday, It
was expected that at least the briefs would
have been filed today, but as they weie
not, the Indications are that no briefs will
be filed until the day of the hearing.
Gossip of Appointments. '
la the meantime Interest In the revenue
case has completely overshadowed the su
preme court clerkship and the supreme
court commissioner who is to take the place
of Judge Barnea because of his elevation
to the bench. The friends of N. D. Jackson
of Nellgh still claim that he will be t.,e
next clerk, and that there will be no tip.
In the matter. Victor Seymour Is still eel
ting endorsements, and among some unmes
ho has secured lately there are a good
many prominent people. His friends do
not believe that Jackson has a cinch on
the place. They claim that every indica
tion points to the naming of Seymour
As to the matter of acommlssioner, there
Is nothing at all doing, so far as the public
knows. In the first place, there .will be
little to the place for any man, as '.ho term
Is only from January until April, when the
commission is reorganlied under the new
law. It would serve to give the lucky man
for his lifetime the dignified title of Judjie,
and that is about all.
School Money About Ready.
December State Treasurer Mortensen
will have the temporary school fund ready
to apportion among the various counties of
the state. It is expected there will be J.v
OUO to apportion.
Last year at the December apportionment
there was divided up among the districts
1-30.000. Of this Douglas county got .G,i3
and Lancaster county got $13,14.8 At the
May apportionment there was over ftOO.OuO
divided out and Douglas county got J 46, 000
and Lancaster got 124,000. This year Doug
laa county will get a small amount more
than It did at the last December apportion
ment. ,
At the late session of the legislature a bill
was introduced In the house to change tho
plan of apportionment so that three-fourths
of It would go according to the number of
districts and one-fourth according to the
number of pupils. This .was done because
some of the country districts thought
Omaha was getting to much school money
under the present law. The Injustice of
auch a plan was seen, however, and the bill
was killed. ' .
,Jrot Sent to Jail.
James A. Lee, a juror sitting on the case
wherein J. H. Harley It suing the Burling
ton railroad for damages, will serve five
days in jail for telling a son of the plain
tiff that "he must see his father before
Monday and that there were six or seven
men on the jury that he could Influence."
When this was reported to Mr. Harley by
his son the former reported to Judge Cor
nish, before whom trie case was being
tried. Lee was at once arrested and at the
trial this afternoon he did not take the
stand, but after pleading guilty Informed
the judge that he was suffering with neu
ralgia and did not know just what he had
aid to young Harley. . The Judge thought
he said Ave days' worth. The Jury In the
case was dismissed.
Cell Material Lost Earoatt.
Somewhere between here and Cleveland,
O., a carload) of material to be used In the
construction of tboae cells at the peniten

qutry from the land commissioner what had

hands. His Idea Is for each state labor 1
bureau to so organise the state In those
districts where harvest hands are liable
to be scarce or where there Is liable to
be a surplus, ao that In each county there
will be a party to keep the bureau Jn
touch wlh the situation by reports sent
In each week. From thr-so reports the
labor commissioner of each state will send
a report each week to the other commis
sioners who nre In the combine. In the
communication Mr. Bush suggests that
a meeting 'of the men Interested be held
In Kansas City some time In January or
February.
The plan grew out of the trouble the
labor bureau had last summer In supply
ing the demands for harvest hands, the
lack of which ocraslonei the lore of many
hundred acres of wheat In the states
named, wlillo nt t'.ie name time many of
the districts of these states had a surplus
of men. but had no nrrangemenls with the
railroads whereby the men could be moved
at reduced rates. I:i his communication
Mr. Bush desires 'the commiKtlon-r to
secure the co-operation of the railroads
to tho end that they will deposit With each
commissioner low-rate tickets, to be sold
to the men who are to be sent out. He
believes this will fucllltate matters and
be of much benefit to the farmers us well
as to U.a laborers,

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Nov. X?. (Special.) Dr. I N.
Wente, a dtml't of this city, was called
to Kansas City last night by a telegram
announcing the mystinous death of his
wife In that city. Dr. Wcnte expected his

YORK, Neb.. Nov. 27.-(Rperlal.)-Mr. and
Mrs. S. A. Thomas of Arborville, parent
of Buelah Thomas, who was abducted last
Sunday night, were here yesterday con
sulting with the county officio's and Detec
tive John Afllebaugh, hoTng to learn of
some clew to the whereabouts of their
daughter.
The parents still firmly believe their
daughter was kidnaped. Owing to the mys
terlousness of the affair the grief stricken
parent believe that their daughter may
have been murdered. This Is the opinion
of a large number of the neighbors of the
Thomas' and searching parties ore being
formed in the neighborhood, who will
make a search of all the ravines and
creeks. The parents are putting forth every
effort to find their daughter. They secured
Dr. Fulton's bloodhounds from Beatrice
and started them on the trail from where
the girl last left her home, but the dogs
refused to work. Then the bloodhounds
from Hamilton county were brought, who
took up the trail and went In a westernly
direction to a bridge across a draw, where
they stopped underneath and refused to
go any further. The dogs were taken back
to the house and again started, but each
time they came to the bridge and stopped.
The parties in charge of tho bloodhounds
believe the young woman was taken to
the bridge where there was a carriage in
waiting, and owing to the dryness of the
roads, and there being so many other
buggy tracks, it was Impossible to truce
her any further.
A careful examination of the ground
near the house and the door from which
Miss Buelah Thomas left looks as If there
had been a desperate struggle and - It is
supposed that when she came out of the
house she was at once gagged and carried
away, as there was no outcry.
Underneath the bridge are also tracks
that would indicate men had been standing
there.
Miss Buelah Thomas Is a beautiful lt
year old young girl, highly respected In
the community and Is the prosecuting wit
ness in a case of statutory assault, brought
against John Blair, a married man and a
neighboring farmer, whose case was to
be tried this coming term of the district
court.
Friends of the Thomas' are highly In
censed and a number are loud In their
denunciation of the abduction and feeling
there Is Intense. It is the principal topic
of conversation and every farmer In that
township Is taking great Interest In the
case.
With the exception of the work of the
dogs, no trace of the missing girl has been
discovered. The parents visiting York haa
led many to believe that they may sus
picion that their daughter may have been
taken here or near and kept captive by her
abductors. - A few affirm and believe that
she has been most foully dealt with. John
Blair, the defendant In the case of statu
tory assault, says he knows nothing about
Buelah Thomas and hopes she will be
found. ....

kindling the kitchen fire with kerosene a
few hours before. Shortly before oVMock
she filled the cook atove with dry kindling
and not knowing that there were any live

burning the baby so severely that she lived

BLOOMtNGTON, Neb., Nov. SWSpeclal
Telegram.) Early this morning the citizens
of this town were wrought to a high pitch
of excitement by accomplishing the arrest
of two suspected bank robbers. The bank
at Agra, Kan., had been broken into, but
the burglars made too much noise In blow
ing opea the vault nnd had to leave with
out getting Into the safe. They left on foot
and were followed by two sheriffs and two
deputies to a place one mile south of here,
on the bank of the Republican river. Here,
properly suspecting that they were being
closely followed, they turned Into the
timber. The officers dispatched one of their
number to this town and soon a well
armed posse went to the river, where the
supposed robbers were Surrounded. Sheriff
Bradney, Sheriff-elect Walrnth nnd Harry
Hemly, an old soldier and Indian fighter,
ran onto them on the banks of the river
standing closely together, probably expect
ing capture. When requested to throw up
their hands they readily did so, first flinging
sundry articles into the river behind them.
They were brought to town, searched nnd
placed In jell. The search at first dis
closed only a few articles of Jewelry and
nn empty revolver scabbard, but tho officers
draged theiver to find the articles thrown
away and discovered skeleton keys, a box
of dynamite and a bottle of glycerine,
with more Jewtlry. , ,
Two more of the gang of desperadoes have
been caught at Riverton. This makes five
men captured. These five constitute a part
of the what Is supposed to be an organized
gang of burglars and thieves which makes

CARTER FKEtfHIS MORNING
Former I np'.iitii ot Engineer Suys He
Will Prove Hlinselt lurbovent
of Crime.
LEAVENWORTH. Kan., Nov. 27.-The
doors of the Leavenworth prison will swing
outward at & o'clock tomorrow mornliiu for
Olnriln M. Carter, formerly a cuptuln of
engineers In the United States army. His
sentence expires at midnight tonight, but
he will remain at the prison until, daylight.
Convicted by u court-martial of con
spiracy to defraud the government he has
finished a term of five years' imprison
ment, having a credit of ten months for
good behavior. Carter will leave tomorrow
for Chicago and will be met by Horace G.
Stone, his attorney, who has been collecting
evidence In the civil case pending In the
United States court there, through which
the former army officer hopes to get vindi
cation. Judge Kohlsaat is to decide whether
Carter Is to retain valuable bonds and real
estate which the government claims he got
Illegally. ,
"Westeott, Carter's father-in-law," said
Mr. Stone, "was always generous, and when
he turned over $400,000 Jn bonds shortly
after Carter's arrest theTjatter considered
It a matter of fact..- Westeott then left for
Europe. Later he gave .testimony ( which
proved damaging to his son-in-law. tend
ing to show that Carter had gotten the
bonds from the contractors. We have evi
dence from Westcott's bankbooks and other
records," said Mr. Stone, "which tend to
show that this Is not true."
Commissioner Booth recently reported to
Judge Kohlsaat that he believed Carter's
uncle and brother, Lorenzo and Stanton
Carter, had turned over all the property be
longing to the former-military officer. Mr.
Stone today received a letter from his
client In which Carter wrote!
At the romlne- trial In the federal court In
Chicago It will be shown beyond cavil that
every dollar I had was properly received by
me; that I always served my country
loyally and Intelligently ; that the work en
trusted to my cRre was properly, success
fully and economically done In the best pos
sible manner; that I always did my duty as
sn officer of the corps of engineers, and
that although crimes have been committed
against me, my honor Is unsullied.
This la said to be the first comment on
his case that Carter has made publlo since
his Incarceration.
