On Sunday night. November 19, at about
8 o'clock, Beulah Thomaa, the 16-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 8. A. Thomaa,
w disappeared from her home, and until Mon
day night no traoe of her whereabouta
. could be found.
Every effort waa made by the grlef
,. stricken parents and the entire neighbor
hood to And Miaa Thomaa. Neighbors aent
out searching parties, bloodhounds were
employed, but no- trace qpuld be found of
the mlnrflng girl. .Mr. Thomas, from the
first,' said that , he believed hla daughter
' had been abducted by John Blat, and that
before hla daughter disappeared a party
had com to him saying that he had been
offered money by John Blair to kidnap Miaa
Thomas.- Mlae Thomas' was the proeecut-
ns; witness In a ease In which John Blair
waa charged with criminal aasault. - The
.parents watched , their daughter and
scarcely allowed her out of their sight, ex
cptlrig'for the five minutes on that cold
Sunday night, -when She stepped out of the
ouse without any wraps. Within five
minutes the parents were out calling and
looking for her, but no trace waa found
from that ttme on until Monday night. Mr.
Thomaa than believed that hla daughter
had been murdered or else kidnaped and
held captive somewhere. A few neighbors
watched the Blair house and Monday even
ing about o'clock, a watcher said he saw
Miaa Thomaa through a window In one of
the upper rooms. Immediately word was
telephoned to York and offlcera at once
went tt the Blair home with a warrant for
hla arfest and a searuh Warrant to aearch
for Miss Thomaa.

On their arrival Blair was asked If Mis

that amours had oonie to rescue her' and
immediately . cam down stairs. Both were

Blair tel'.a a different story of how Mies
Thomas was found In his home. He says
that at o'clock Monday night Miss
Thomas cam to hla house and Blair at
once claims to have told her that it waa
not right because If she waa found it would
look very bad for'' him. He claims that
Miss Thomaa told hint that she waa afraid
"to go home, aa her parents would punish
her and III treat her. When asked where
Miss Thomaa had been all the time ho said
all he knew waa what she had told him.
He said that she claims to have voluntarily
left home and went to York, where for a
short time she lived with a family living
In North Tork. Blair saidshe refused to
tell him where ahe had been since. Miss
Thomas had once assisted Mrs. Blair in
her housework, and if Blair Is Infatuated
with Mlsa Thomaa It Is believed to have
been from the time she worked there. For
years the Biaira and Theinaaea have lived
within br.e mile' of eacll v other, arid, until
last spring there bad never, been any real
differences.

QUEER FREAKS0F ELECTRICITY
Bar;lar Alarms asi Telephone Ring,
While Rleetrto Llghte '
Go Oat.
FREMONT, Neb., Deo. t. (Special. )
What some people are InoUned to believe
was an unusual electrical phenomenon ac
companied th fall of nnow yesterday
morning. It may have been only coinci
dence, or perhaps again it so happened that
a few telephone and electrlo light wires
got croased at about the same hour, but
whatever the cause the result were suffi
cient to provoke considerable hustling on
the part of the police and some anxiety
iifMher fcuafor' -y-
The first unusual" 'occurrence was the
sounding of some of the burglary alarm
bells connected with the First National
bank. Nothing haa been discovered that
wou'.d Indicate the cause for this Incident,
though It was believed that something had
gone wrong with 'the olook works.
AtJ o'clock yesterday morning .the police
noticed that there waa no light in the rear
room of the Farmer' and Merchants' Na
tional bank. An investigation waa made,
but it could not be ascertained that any
thing waa wrong and the matter was
dropped. An hour later th Farmers' and
Merchants' National bank number at th
Nebraska Telephone company' central
(Hoe commenced to ring as If someone
had raised the receiver at the other end of
the line, No response was got from the
Inquiring "number?" of th telephone girl,
and so the connection waa "plugged" to
quiet the disturbing noise. When the plug
waa removed, It was found that the noise
had ceased and the signal light had gone
out, Indicating that whoever had raised
th receiver had replaced It. Thle occur
rence waa reported to th police and a
second examination of the premises waa
made.
Whir this waa going on. another officer
discovered that the light In the Security
Savings bank had suddenly extinguished.
and It was necessary to conduot an In
vestigatlon there. As in the other Instances
It could not be ascertained that anything
unusual waa going on within.
A little later two or three persons had
occasion to visit the court house to ascer
tain whether the Jury In, the Bmlth caaa
hadagreed upon a verdict. In (wo of the
offices in this building the telephone were
ringing without oeaalng. An inquiry from
the Nebraska central office brought the
Information that several telephones. In
eluding the one In Mayor Wols's place of
business, were ringing without apparent
cause.
During the same hours the electrlo light
globes refused to shed a glow for a period
and then suddenly lighted again.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Dec. t. (Special.) Aa a result
of a practice apparently In direct violation
of the state constitution the permanent
school fund of the state has been deprived
of thouaanda of dollars. The practice which
haa been In vogue'fof years In that of paj
Ing to county treasurers acting as agents
fpr the state 1 per cent of the proceeds of
the sale of rchool lands and lea nee of school
lands, the money to be deducted from the
purchase price or lease money and the
remainder to be remitted to the state
treasurer to become a part of the perma
nent school fund. For Instance, if a county
treasurer sells school lands for 11.000 ha
takea out hla 1 per cent commission of 110
and remits $900 to the treasurer. According
to the constitution. It Is argued, he should
have remitted the entire $1,000. Section I,
rtlcle vlll, of the constitution says:
Permanent School Fund The following
are hereby declared to be perpetual funds
for common rchool purposes, of which the
annual interest or Income oan be appro-
inmiru, iuwii: rirji, sucn percenium as
has been or may hereafter be granted by
conirrena on the sale of land in thla state.
Second, all moneys arising from the sale

proceeds of land and other propertv and
effects that may come to the state by
escheat or forfeiture or from unclaimed
dividends or distributive shares of the
estates of deceased persons. Fifth, all
moneys, stocks, tmnds, lands and other
property now belonalna to the common
school fund.
Section 4 resds ss follows:

gifts and devlaes that have been or may
hereafter be made to this state and not
otherwise appropriated by the terms of the
frani, gin or nevise, tne interests arising
rom au the funds mentioned In the nr..
ceding section, together with all the rents
or tne unsold scnool lands and such other
means as tne legislature may provide
shall be exclusively ODDlled to the sunnort
anil malntonunce of common schools In
each school district in the state.
Ask for Opinion.
The matter was brought before the Board
of Educational Lands and Funds yesterday
afternoon by Land Commissioner Follmer,
and Deputy Commissioner Eaton was au
thorised to draw up a resolution to be pre
sented to Attorney General Prout for an
opinion In the case. The books of the treas
urer and the auditor agree as to the amount
of money In the permanent school fund,
while those of the land commissioner show
an amount with the commission paid to th
county treasurers added.
The practice has been In vogue for years,
probably since th law to pay county treas
urers 1 per cent for handling school funds
waa enacted, but heretofore the matter of
its constitutionality has never been dis
cussed. Deputy Eaton reported It to the
board some months ago, but until yesterday
no decisive action was' taken. He held that
when school lands were sold or leased th
money at once became a portion of the per
manent school fund and therefore It was
unconstitutional to expend It or Invest It In
any way except aa provided for by the con
stitution, ii .e'-
Should) the practlaawbe unconstitutional
the permanent schoo)'fQnd of the state haa
been deprived of a large amount of money.
and Just' what will be the outcome no one
knows. Some 'argue that It would he pos
sible to sue the members of the board on
their bonds or the county' treasurers re
ceiving the money for the amount of com
missions, but In all probability the practloe
will Just be discontinued, and that will end
It. It Is the contention of Mr. Follmer that
the county treasurers should be paid out of
th temporary school fund, but that they
should be required to turn over to the treas
urer every dollar received from the sale or
lease of school lands.
In the permanent school fund at this
time there Is tS.000,000, .most of which haa
accrued from the sale of school lands.
Should It be held that the constttuUon hat
been violated the loss to the permanent
fund would be In the neighborhood of fSO,-
000. It haa been suggested that this amount
of money could he taken out of the tem
porary school fund before the next appor
tionment and placed in the permanent fund,
thus making up the loss.
Money Ready for School.
State Treasurer Morten aen has certified
to State Superintendent Fowler hla state
ment of school moneys to be used tor the
semi-annual apportionment among the
school, The Item "less warrant G62S, C.
F. Boharmann," was the result of an act
of the laat legislature which required the
auditor to draw a warrant, to refund to
oounty treasurers moneys paid IHegally
into triw school fund. At th time th law
waa enacted Treasurer Mortens en held that
It was not legal for the auditor to draw
such warrants and that he would refuse to
cash them. Thla one for (4.37 In some way
waa cashed, having been overlooked, hence
is taken out of the apportionment. Mr.
Mortensen said he would be careful that
no more such would be cashed. The state
ment In detail follows:
State school taxes C, 771. 94
Interest on school and saline landa

Many Affected by Rallng.
"Th decision of th secretary of the In
terior which overruled the former rulings
of ths land department, which were to tha
effect that widows and orphans of soldiers
did not have to realde on lands upon which
they made homeatead entry, will affect
from 600 to 800 persons In the Broken Bow,
Alliance and Valentine land districts.
"After the ruling of the department cat
tlemen secured agents who went Into Iowa
and other states and got widows to home
stead the land, paying the agent a salary
for so doing. The widows then filed along
a mil line In the shape of a hollow square.
The cattlemen then leased this land and
fenced it, thus shutting In many thousand
acres of government land"
Bo said a resident of the districts affected.
The idea that only a few people would be
affected, he said, did not near cover It, as
at leaat 600 widows and possibly 800 had Hied
on the land In question. Ant what would
b don In th Interest of th widows he did
not know.
"Doctor Caa Resent Practice.
Dr. William Cornwell of Edgar can re
sume the practice of medicine In that city
and keep It up as long as his patient or

tattons to county superintendents, teacher
and other to an "at home" at hla office

One More M. D.
Under the law enacted by the late legis
lature governing the requirement of a
student to become a practicing physician,
L. B. Ptllebury of Fremont Is the first to
attach M. D. to his name. According to
the secretaries who conducted the exam
ination, Dr. Plllsmiry has set a pace that
will not soon be overtaken by other appli
cants, lis received an average grade of
M and in some ef the branches he waa
perfect. . Since tha Enactment of the new
law there has been a marked falling off
of applicants to practice medicine, In
August under the old law there being 161

being one.
Enlarging Freight Yarda.
Contemplated Improvementa In the switch
yards of th Burlington at Lincoln, or
their removal to Havelock and the Instal
lation of large and m6dern(yards at a cost
of perhaps over fcM.OOO are being consid
ered at present. Surveyors In the employ
of the company are now running their
line over the 200 acres of land owned
north of the machine shops, laying out
tracks and making an estimate of the
cost of the work. When this is figured
out and the estimate sent to headquarters,
the matter of larger and more extensive
facilities for handling freight trains here
will likely take form.
