STATE GETS LINCOLN SAVINGS MONEY
Receiver Hill Finally Concludes that
"resent Treasurer and Not Joseph
H. Hartley Is Entitled to
the Cash.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Aug. 5.-(Speclal.) Pawne
county Is figuring on going Into court to
tare set aside the E per cent Increase made
n the valuation of that courrty by the
itate Board of Equalization. This because
the county board made Us levy based on
the valuation returned by the assessor, and
the amount that will be raised will be In
excess of the, estimate made in January.
According to the statutes If any taxes
are collected In excess of the estimate the
county commissioners andythelr bondsmen
are personally responsible for the '.same,
and the money must bo turned Into the
school fund. The section has not been In
terpreted by the suprerne court and the
serloua question raised Is this: 'If the
money is turned over to the school fund
could the county still recover the amount
from the commissioners? Attorney Gen
eral Prout did not give an official opinion
In the matter, but he said it was a serloua
proposition;
The statutory provision Is contained In
section 25, article 1, chapter xvlll, of the
Complied Statutes of the State, providing
that the county boards at their regular
meeting In January of each year shall
meet to prepare an estimate of the neces
sary expenses of each county not to ex-,
oeed the amount- which may be legally col
lected on the valuation. The further pro
vision I made:
If any levy shall be made In excess of
such estimate the tax shall not therefore
be void, but the members of the county
board and their sureties shall he Jointly
and severally liable upon their official
bonds for the full amount of such excess,
which shall be collected In civil action as
in other cases, for the use of the school
fund of the county. If the members of
the said board neglect to comply with any
other provisions of this section, the tax
shall not thereafter be void, but they shall
each be liable to a penalty of $500. to he
recovered by civil action as in other cases,
for the use of the school fund of the
county.
County Attorney Raper of Pawnee was
hero this afternoon trying to And some way

that were raised are in the same fix as
Pawnee,
Stat to Get Money.
The state will get the ten dividends de
clared by the Lincoln Savings bank, now
In the hands of Receiver Hill, and there
will be no legal contest over the matter.
State Treasurer Mortenaen, who has re
turned from Ord, said today that Captain
Hill had assured him that the money would
be paid over to the state.
The deposit on which the dividends have
been paid was made to the order of "State
Treasurer Joseph 8. Bartley" and was a
pnrt of the liabilities of the bank when It
fnlled. Treasurer Mortenaen had an ex
amination of the books In his office made,
but he was unable to find any trace of a
record bearing on the deposit. Captain
1II1I mentioned having the money and
tated that he was not sure to whom It
belonged. Later, after a consultation with
his attorney,' he told the treasurer that
the money would be paid to the state. Why
the matter waa not mentioned when the
drat dividend was declared Is not known
and probably will not be until Captain Hill
returns from a trip out west. Ths money
deposited amounted to between $15,000 and

fhe Inside Inn Accommodates With Com
fort AM Who Seek Its Hospitality,
Without Orercrowdiajr.
True to its promise to successfully take
care of the orowds which came to her
doors, St. Louis has, so far, met her vial.
tog with open arms and generous hos
pitality. Right royally and loyally has the
Inside Inn, at the World's Fair Grounds,
aided her In this respect. Situated, as It
is, upon a charming eminence, surrounded
by a natural forest. It has been pronounced
by every visitor to be the coolest and most
delightful spot In all St. Louis; while Us
enormous stss and wonderful equipment
has precluded the idea of overcrowding.
The. bed-rooms, which number J,2i7, are
we4 and comfortably furnished, and many
of thorn are equipped with bath. The din
...g halls can suat over 2,500 people to a
single meal, and the management have
bcea most successful in giving their guests
not only every comfort and convenience,
but a thorough enjoyable time In every
way.
Thtf rates are within the reach of all,
varying from $1.60 to $6.60 per day on the
European plan, and from $3.00 to $7.00 per
day American. Notwithstanding malicious
reports circulated by the hotel and board
ing house fraternity, every prospective vis
itor to the World's Fair may rest assured
of getting plenty of accommodation at
whatever rates they wish to pay. Visitors
are cautioned to place no credence what

Larare Attendance at Assembly.
The Epworth league assembly had an
other good day and Rev. Shepherd, one of
the administrative officers, said that the
attendance was up to that of the corre
sponding day last year, which art that time
was a record breaker. The number of
campers, howeVer, is not so large as last
year. Oeorge O. Wallace of Omaha was
on the program today and talked of the
way In which children should be taught In
Sunday school.
Rev. W. F. Crafts. Rev. N. W. Brewster
and Rev. Charles Cullc-n Smith were the
other speakers and each was listened to by
a large crowd. Tonight Rev. Byron King
of Pittsburg delivered his leeture on the
"Philosophy of Eloquence.'
No Pools In Lincoln.
Great excitement was created here this
afternoon because one of the saloons Issued
advertising cards upon which was printed
the Information Unit pools on races would
be sold there. As soon as the card struck
the street It was hustled off to the police
station, and Chief Routaahn at once issued
his manifesto that such could not be. The
saloon men explained that the card was
merely an advertisement and no attempt to
sell pools would be made.
Only Slight Discrepancy.
Examiner Wlggans, who Is examining th
books of former Adjutant General Colby,
has about completed the work and outside
of the $2,000 worth of blankets which
turned up missing and which Colby sub
sequently accounted foi, Mr. Wiggans has
found missing about $150. It may be that
General Colby will be able to show receipts
for this amount, but the examiner was
unable to locate them. Governor Mickey
sent for General Colby today and he and
Mr. Wiggans spent the afternoon going
over the reports that will be shortly filed
with the governor.
limes In Tronble Again.
E. L. Simon, who was recently released
from the penitentiary on parole, is once
more In the toils of the law and this time
he Is charged with petit larceny. Simon,
so it Is charged, stole some tools belong
ing to a bricklayer and when arrested he
was using the tools. The man to whom he
was paroled has already talked, to Governor
Mickey and assured the executive that
Simon took the tools because no one seemed
to know to whom they belonged, andhe
and other workmen had talked over the
matter before Simon took them. If he can
prove up in court that such s the case
it Is not likely that he will be returned
to the penitentiary. Simon created some
what of a stir a yeac ago by escaping from
the penitentiary and going to Texas. He
gave as an excuse that the climate was
bad on his hay fever.
Parker Calls on Tibbies.
E. A. Parker of Kentucky, secretary of
the populist national 'committee, arrived In
Lincoln today for a conference with Thomas
H. Tibbies, nominee for vice president on
the populist ticket. Mr. Parker said his
visit to Lincoln had no special significance
aside from the fact that, he wished to see
Mr. Tlbbleo and learn of political conditions
In western states. He said the outlook
was very favorable for his party.

Mayor Enters Disclaimer.
BLAIR. Neb., Aug. I. To the Editor of
The Bee: I notice In your Issue of yester
day In regard to the grocers' picnic that
you state that Blair was overrun with
gamblers, pickpockets and thugs from
Omaha, and that the Omaha police notified
the local police of questionable characters
who should be locked rup and that the
local police failed to heed tha warning.
You also state that thirteen men were ar
rested and Jailed. I wish to correct a bad
impression which your article would tend
to give. The local police arrested, and
Jailed every man pointed out to them by
the Omaha police. The after-dinner nilxup
resulted in the arrest'oV eight boys ran
ging In age, from 11 to IS 'years and their
usual good reputation waa so well known
to ths Omaha police that the local police
were asked to turn the boys loose In
time to catch the outgoing trains. It is
true that a good many gamblers drifted
Into town and that they did start business,
but as soon aa the local authorities were
notified they were promptly closed up and
no unpleasant occurrence resulted from
this class of people. With beLween 3,000
and 4.000 people In town and congregated
In small parks It Isn't surprising that a
few pickpockets got In their work, but
up to the present time less than $10 loss
has been reported to the police. The gro
cers of Omaha brought to Blair large
delegations and good people, and in Justice
to them as well as to Blair I desire that
you publish the above, which will be
vouched for the Omaha police who were
liere, by the officers of the grocers' as
sociation and by the local police. Very
truly yours, L. A. WILLIAMS,
Mayor.

turbance, during which time several com
batants were slashed with a knife and
one is reported to have been shot through

Resolution in Opposition to Fusion is
, Voted Down.
SAUNDERS COUNTY TAKES OTHER TACK
Candidates Wb Secure Their Totes
in Convention Must Pledare Them
selves for the Ponullst !
. tlonal Ticket.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Aug. 6. (Special Telegram.)
The democrats and populists held two
county conventions here today In two build
ings, under one management, nt which each
selected delegates to Its respective state
convention to be held here next Wednesdny.
The populists took the Inltlntlve In the
gubernatorial contest nnd Instructed Its
delegation to support and work for George
W. Bcrge for the nomination. The demo
crats did no endorsing or recommending,
refraining from even mentioning Its na
tional ticket. The two parties will fuse on
county and legislative ticket, for the demo
crats Instructed their county committee to
get up the ticket while the populists ap
pointed a committee for that purpose.
The only real interest In the two conven
tions was the wmngle over fusion that
occurred In the populists' meeting, when
the nntl-fuslon element tried to have only
mid-road delegates selected. The motion
was lost and a compromise was effected by
endorsing the national ticket and platform.
The resolution as first introduced was to
the effect that no delegate should be se
lected who would In the state convention
vote for a man for office who intended to
vote for Parker and Davis. This was
amended to Include President Roosevelt.
After considerable debate the motion was
tabled. E. C. Sheldon then tried to resur
rect the motion, nnd when told that such
proceedings were out of order announced
that, "This Is a populist convention, noth
ing Is out of order." t
The Edgar resolution endorsing the na
tional ticket and platform waa then car
ried. While the demoorats completely Ignored
their national ticket and platform they
adopted resolutions condemning the slate
revenue law and the republican state ad
ministration. At 2 o'clock C. G. Bullock pulled his Jack
knife out of his pocket and rapped the pops
to order, though there were scarcely enough
present to make a disturbance. A. E.
Sutherland was made chairman and O. W.
Meier secretary. N
At the proper moment when the conven
tion had finished its organization Vice
Presidential Candidate Tibbies entered the
hall amid as wild enthuinsm as fifty pops
could make, and In his short speech he
brought the mersage that the populist na
tional ticket would secure more votes than
it ever had before. In Albany county. New
York, where the terrible Hill lives or came
from, he told that the county democracy
had endorsed Watson and Tibbies.
At the conclusion of this speech H. F.
Bishop proposed that George W. Berge be
endorsed for the nomination for governor
and the delegation to the state convention
be pledged to his support. The motion went
through In a whoop and Berge was dragged
to the front. He told the brethren that if
he secured the nomination he would make
a prairie burning campaign and leave noth
ing undone that would help the ticket. '
Then the real business began, for a mo
tion was made by A.- E. Sheldon to instruct
the delegation to work against fusion.
Sheldon made a great fight for his motion,
but It was voted down. ,t
The chairman then appointed a committee
to name the county ticket.
Following Is the state delegation:
From the City George" W. Berge and T.
TI. Tibbies, at large; W. A.' Poynter, A. C.

fate was authorized to select his own al
ernate. Democrats Are Busy.
Across the street from the LIndel!, where
tho populists held forth, the democrats
began to grind in the Auditorium at the
same hour. W. M. Morning was the chair
man nnd Ed Friend and Harry Hohmann
were the secretaries. While a resolution
committee was out fixing up a few blasts
at the revenue bill. Mr. Morning made a
regular democratic speech, with the frills.
The county central committee was in
structed to get up the county ticket. A

It In the dangerous condition It has been
In for the last few years. Tho commis
sioners' attention has been called to their
mistake and they are trying to devise
some means to remedy the error. Tho
plans cost the county over M0 and the

this most delightful gift. She has really
been able to enthuse her pupils and give
them a very good start in the acquiring
and use of this, for women, most desirable
art.
