Trip.
(From a Staff Correspondent. I
LINCOLN. April 13. (Special.) Tom Ma
jors and C. H. Gregg, members of the
State Board of Education, were in I.inroln

of their visit was to build up fences for the
appointment of a man to take the place on
the board of R. A. Tawney, whose term

and Mr. Gregg can control the appointment
of this man they will be able to attain
their highest ambition jjst at this time,
the landing of Prof. Thomas of Kearney in
the superintendent's office of the new
normal school, and eventually all of his
assistants. As the board now stands, four
of the members are for former Superin
tendent Fowler and three are for Thomas.
And this it is now claimed Is back of all
the little scraps that have occurred on the
board Majors and Gregg want time. In
cidentally, it Is said they have secured
the co-operation of John N. Baldwin in
their efforts to land Thomas.

Contrary to the constitution, former
State Superintendent Fowler has drawn
out of the state treasury $150 for services
as secretary of the State Board of Educa
tion, which position he rilled by virtue of
Ills office as state superintendent. Had it
not been for Governor Mickey, Mr. Fowler
would huve been fc!00 aheud of the game,
Instead of just $150. Last year the normul
school came up with a deficiency and con
sequently Mr. Fowler went before the
state legislature with a claim for $50 for
services us secretary of the board. The
legislature allowed the claim, but Gov
ernor Mickey vetoed it, for the reason that
he held such a claim was contrary to the
plain provisions of the constitution, which
provides that no state officer shall receive
a fee or any enfbluments except the salary
attached to the office. This veto led to on
investigation of the vouchers in the office
of the auditor and the records show that
on December 17, 1903, Mr. Fowler received
a warrant for $.)0 for services as secretary
of the board and on December 23, 1902, he
received a warrant for $100 for services as
secretary for the biennium.

Bank Examiner Explains.
State Bajik Examiner Fred Whittemore.
who Is being sued by the depositors of the
defunct Elkhorn Valley bank at O'Neill.
Is in the city tonight and sid the first In
timation he had of the suit being filed
against him was the publication of the suit
In the newspapers. "The whole affair,"
said Mr. Whittemore. "is predicated upon
alleged negligent. I used the greatest
earn in trying to get at the truth of the
bank's condition. It Is not the province of
a state bank examiner to guarantee de
positors against every species of covert
fraud.
"It Is alleged that 1 reported 320 acres
of land within two miles of O'Neill as an
asset of the bank, but that the title to the
same was not in the Elkhorn bank. Theie
was no authority In law for the bank to
own this land. Real estate outside of the
banking house can only be required In
payment of a debt. It was not claimed by
the officers of the bank that the land was
acquired In a legal manner and the hold
ing of It was emphatically disapproved by
me. I would not have taken the responsi
bility of giving color of approval to it by
requiring a deed to be made to the bank
had I found that it was not so deeded. I
was Informed, however, that a deed to the
land did run to the bank, but that it had
not been recorded. I did not advise re
cording the deed, for 1 did not countenance
the proceedings.
"I did not approve as a 'good' asset an
overdraft of the cashier. Patrick Hagerty,
for $775.92. I repotted it as an a.wt Just
as it was and so appeared, but with the
explanation that it was drawn against his
share of the profits and salary, to be
credited up at the end of the year. If his
salary hod been credited up monthly In
stead of at the end of the year no over
draft would have been shown."
Mr. Whlttomoro snld 111 regard to the
statement that he had overlooked forged
and fictitious notes that he was not ac
quainted with the handwriting of the mak
ers of the notes, but they bore every evi
dence of being genuine, and even now he
had no evidence that any of the -notes were
forged. Mr. Whittemore expressed surprise
that the suits should have been started,
but said he was willing to show his ac
counts to the most searching scrutiny.

Attorney Making; Inquiries as to Bond
Which Will Be Required.
TECUMSEH, Neb.. April 13. (Special.)
The Johnson County Journal, a local
weekly paper. Is responsible for the state
ment that Charles M. Chamberlain, the
fugitive bank wrecker. Is going to give
himself up to the law and return to Te
cumseh, the scene of his wrongdoings. In
Its Issue of today the Journal says:
We understand that there is a movement
on foot looking to the return of Charles
M. Chamberlain to this city, to answer to
the charge of wrecking the Chamberlain
banking house. Rumor nss it that an out-of-town
attorney has lately been here for
the purpose of finding out what amount of
bond Would be necessary to give, offering
to make a $12,000 bond. Tt Is said that the
proper officials demand that the bond be
made $20,000 It Is now nearly two years
since the Chamberlain bank failed and
Cashier Chamberlain went to parts un
known, since which time no Tecumseh man
save one, so far as Is known, hns met and
talked with the cashier. D. R. Oder talked
with him at the depot in St. Joseph, Mo.,
not many weeks aftr the bank failure.
Chamberlain has been heard from Indirectly
many times since that time, but so far as
we know no very strenuous efforts have
been made to bring him hack for trial.
Now, It seems, Mr. Chamberlain Is anx
ious to return home and stand his trial. It
l likely that something will be done soon
In fixing the amount of bond, and this done
Mr. Chamberlain will before long join his
family in this city.

COCAINE IS ALMOST FATAL
Young Medical Student Nearly Ends His
Life with the Drug.
DISAPPOINTMENT IN LOVE THE OCCASION
Sweetheart Had Cancelled Engage

Cocaine, taken with suicidal Intent, al
most ended the life of G. L. Brown yester
day at the Midland hotel. The prompt
attention of Dr II. L. Arnold saved him.
His sweetheart in Missouri had written him
that he could consider their engagement
cancelled, and 111 the resulting despondency
he decided that death was preferable to
life without her.
Brown Is a student at one of the local
medical colleges and says his home is at
Crawford, Neb. It is probable that his

found on the college rolls. Ills delirious 1
talk when under the Influence of the drug
shows him to lie a medical student.
Tuesday he registered at the Midland.
Yesterday, acting In a strange manner,
lie went to the. hotel office and called up
central at Council Bluffs, Informing her
that he Intended coming to the Iowa end
of the Douglas bridge to throw himself Into
the river. He inquired If she would be so
kind to see that a large crowd assembh'd
to watch the plunge. He then went to his
room, where a hotel attendant found him
some time later in a serious condition. Dr.
Arnold was called.
Love and Despondency.
On his recovery Brown told the reason
for his uct; it was that his sweetheart did
not love him any longer. Jn his medical
research he hud Insisted on the practice
of vivisection. She, being u tender-hearted
girl, thought it needless cruelty to ani
mals, and had often begged him to Stop
it. In fact, she had not been very well
pleased with his ' choice -of u. profession.
Irately they hud quarreled on the subject
of vivisection, and Tuesday he had received
a letter from her saying she would not
marry him. Ho went to the hotel and
brooded for two days, then decided to take
his lite, choosing cocaine because he knew
It would kill him without suffering.
Brown has been a victim of the drug for
years and tells a pitiful story of his at
tempts to break the habit. Sometimes he
lias not used it lor months at a time,- but
when a lit of despondency comes on h
falls from grace. His period of Indulgence
Is usually short, and after It he manages
to keep from tho drug again until another
period of mental depression. His facu
