LINCOLN, Dec. 13. (Speclal.)-The bank
statement showing the condition of the
state Institutions November I, 1W, Indi
es tes that since the August 26 statement
the loans have increased nearly 14.000,000,
leaving the total at the last report date
$41,258,824.26. Notwithstanding the fnct that
tha November statements show the createst
slumps In banking conditions as a gen
eral rule, the present one is nearly up to
the standard of that of August, which
topped the hlghwater mark In the history
of the state with a total of I60.eno.u00 in
deposits. The deposits November 9 reached
a total of 160.140.707.71. The increase in
loans during the past three months U re
garded as an Indication of a healthy con
dition In banking circles and holds fort'.i
the promise of better profits.
The banks are , carrying a reserve of
34.8 r. cnt. In August it waa over 40
per cent. During the year the loans in
creased 17.749,344.89. while the legal reserve
Increased $3,107,929.28, and during the year
deposits Increased $10,566,524.57, more than
25 per cent. The number of banks has In
creased from E15 to 64S during the year.
The banks have reduced their Indebtedness,
a fact witnessed by the decrease in notes
and bills redlscounfed and bills payable
from $375,827.08 to $106.77033.
The consolidated bank statement Issued
this afternoon by Secretary Royse of the
State Banking board makes a showing
which he considers a good Index to tho
prosperity of the state. He said:
"One remarkable and decidedly Flattering
feature about the report Is that deposits
at this time are less than one-half million
of dollars lower than on August 26, the
hlghwater mark for the year, since which
time loans have Increased nearly $4,000,000,
while the reserve has decreased about the
sema amount."

ing that period a total of $2,897.20 was re

of ths department , ,..
Appeal Cases Increase.
Employes of tho supreme court clerk's
office are preparing tae docket for the
January term. Although the court has
handed down an unusually large number
of opinions since the beginning of the
September term, there are now 612 cases
to go on the printed docket, as compared
with 699 In the volume issued for the
September 'term. Since that time two com
missions of three members each have been
at work in addition to the court.
Wmnt Pat Crowe.
Today the Iowa requisition for Pat Crowe
was received t the executive office, but
action on it will be deferred until Governor
Mickey returns from Osceola In the morn
ing. . There Is no certainty that he will
honor the request for the man's extradition
in view of the case pending against him
In Douglas county and in some quarters
his power to do so under such circum
stances is questioned.
The tenpr of the following letter from
County Attorney Hess of Pottawattamie
county indicates a desire to have the mat
ter expedited: '
Enclosed please find requisition of the
governor of Iowa for Pat Crowe, who Is
charged with robbery in this city and
Is a fugitive from justice. Would ask that
you send the warrant directly to me and
greatly oblige.
Cannot l'a Pass and Collect Fare.
The state legal department has furnished
Auditor Searle with an opinion to the- ef
fect that a sherirT riding on free transporta
tion cannot collect mileage, although in se
curing the transportation he entered Into a
contract with the railway not to charge
fees In Us cases and to advance Its Inter
ests by all honorable means. The decision
Is based on the ground that the contract
has no value oecause of the fact that the
fees do not belong to the sheriff to give,
but to the public, and that the law forbids
the commutation of the fees of a public
officer. It Is believed that the ruling as to
fees' may afreet other county officers and
may also apply to Justices of the peace who
have been In the habit of making bargain
rates to collection agents. The claim of
Sheriff McBride of Cass county for $12.10
for a round trip to Kearney raised the
question when laid before the auditor. Mc
Bride had attached a copy of the contract
with the railway entered Into at the time
he secured his annnal Burlington pass.
Will See Before Slg-alas;.
Secretary of State Galusba announced to
day that hereafter he will not sign vouchers
for miscellaneous supplies, unless they are
brought to him before the warrants are
Issued on them. He will not refuse his sig
nature to salary and other vouchers, where
the expenditures are fixed by statute under
such circumstances. He says that it has
ben the custom In the past to give the
warrants to claimant aa much as a week
In advance of the time that the vouchers
come to him and insists that he has a right
to pass on claims for supplies purchased
under contract, because they are often lr
rrgulur and In ned of supervision.
I Another controversy which the secretary

of state has finally settled wilt result tn his
signing vouchers after the auditor of publlo
accounts and not before that official. Oa
tusha demanded the right to sign last, tak
ing the position that the statute requires
It because the auditor Is named as the first
signer. The controversy Is not of great Im
portance, except to the officials, since tha
last one to sign by the rejection of a claim
may cast discredit on the first signer.
Deny Receiving; Money.
Today Former Chief of Police Routaahn
and City Detective Bentley were on the
witness stand In their own defense tn the
prosecutions which are blng carried on
against thejn on the charge of having
extorted money from women of the red
light district. The former chief of police
denied that he has ever talked to the
women about the collection of money. The
hearing will last another day.
Many Banqueters.
Deputy State Superintendent E. C. Bishop
Is receiving many applications for tickets
to the corn cookery banquet. Many pupils
of the Lincoln schools are Indicating their
purpose to attend. A large proportion of
the exhibits, both In the corn growing and
corn conking contests, have been received
and are being arranged at the state farm.
The delegates to the contest will begin to
arrive In the morning. Students at tho
state farm to the number of twenty or
more have been designated as guides for
the visitors. They will wear yellow ribbon
badges on which Is printed, "Guide." The
managers will also be distinguished by
distinctive badges of yellow. All of the
contestants who have entered have been
supplied with yellow delegate badges, so
that the visitors may be singled out In a
crowd. At the state superintendent's offlco
every effort Is being made to insure a warm
welcome for the visitors. The superintend
ents of the various state Institutions will
keep open house for them, and the school
officials will accord them all possible
courtesies. The university authorities will
pilot the visitors through that Institution,
and at the state farm they will be shown
over the place and have a chance to see
the various departments In actual opera
tion. The authorities are hopeful that
many of the visitors will be induced to
come to the state institution to complete
their training.
Helps Those Affected by Railway Salt.
State Superintendent McBrlen announced
this afternoon that school districts which
have been unable to comply with the pro
visions of the school law to such an extent
as to secure a share of the temporary
school fund because of the railway tax
suits will be allowed to share notwithstand
ing under the provisions of the law which
exempts districts from the operation of the
law where they have raised the maximum
levy. The exception Is made on the
strength of sworn affidavits by the officers
of the district that they levied the maxi
mum amount, but were unable to collect
because of the railway suits. Several dis
tricts In Dawson county have been the first
beneficiaries of this Interpretation of the
law. The superintendent has not yet re
ceived sufficient data to enable him to state
how many districts have been unable to
comply with the law because of the Injunc
tions. To Survey Military Stores.

tain 8. D. Davis went to Omaha to survey

train passed the seed house until the man
fell from the train, and that he was not
kicked off. Engineer Cunningham testified
that Krlss signalled him to stop and that
the train was not running faster than one
or two miles an hour when McMahon fell
off. The only other eyewitness to tha
transaction besidra Francisco was Jaggard,
the dynamo man who was killed In the

Bill Jurglng. who was with McMahon
the most of that afternoon, swore that
they had been spending most of their time

whiskies apiece; but, nevertheless, stated
that his partner was perfectly sober. An
other witness who saw him about an hour
before the affair said he was drunk.

Proline Source of Trouble
on Reservation.
PENDER, Neb.. Dec. lS.-(Speotal Tele
gram.) Nathan Lyon and John Walker,
two Omaha Indians, became Intoxicated at
the home of Henry Woods, south of tho
agency, Monday morning. Lyon accused
Walker of stealing his span of horses,
when Walker became enraged and, using
a club, pounced upon Lyon, a much older
Indian, pounding him over the head which
caused concussion of the1 brain, from which
he died, after which It is charged that
Walker dragged the body from the houso
and loading it into a wagon hauled It
about lno yards frdtn Hie Woods home and
dumped the body Into the rond, where It
waa found early Monday morning. An In
quest was held at which evidence adduced
the fact that Lyon came to his death at
the hands of Walker. A warrant was
sworn out for Walker and the sheriff Is
out looking for him.
At a point of willows on a sandbar di
rectly west of Maple Landing, la., Bill
Wise, an ex-Onawa saloonkeeper, has a
camp and is engaged tn selling liquor to
the Indians, who cross on the Ice at this
point, where the Missouri Is now froten
over, although open at the Decatur ferry
below. The Indiana come over the river
to the Iowa side tn droves to purchase
whisky, which Is said to be so vile that
a very small quantity Is good for any
number of fights. Two deaths of Indians Is
alleged to be the direct result of drink
ing Wise's whisky, and Nathan Lyon Is
the fourth Indian to be killed on the res
ervation within one year as the result of
too much whisky. Wise has a government
llcenso to sell liquor at "Allen's Bend-' of
the Missouri river. The responsible men
of the reservation are becoming tired of
the situation and parties are In Otiawa
today to interview the county attorney of
Monona county with a view to stopping
the traffic The Indians are fast becom
ing demoralized under the state of things,
and when crazy drunk are liable to" kill
most anyone who crosses them.
Bill Wise is the man who waa arrested
lost fall and taken before a United States
commissioner charged with Introducing
liquor onto an Indian reservation, but he
managed t to escape prosecution, and for
some time has been running business In
the same c!d way at his camp on the
Iowa side of the river. Wise Is an old
offender and for years was indicted at
most every term of the Monona county
district court.

KEARNEY, Neb., Dec. 1$. (Special Tele
gram.) Peter Wilson is a 17-year-old youth
wno probably comes as near knowing how
It feels to be hanged by the neck until
dead aa any living person. Peter came
within about a minute pf having the ex
perience. Young Wilson Is employed tn
Charley Bartz's chicken store and today
while he waa alone another boy happened
Into the place. After some talk the vis
itor ventured that he could hang by the
neck for a longer time than the other boy.
Wilson did not think' so and proceeded to
give, a demonstration He climbed upon
the barrel, fastened one' end of a rope to
some object and fixed tha other about his
neck.
In some manner his feet slipped from the
top of the barrel about this time and he
was hanging for sure. His visitor became
alarmed and left the place and when
Pete'e younger brother entered the store
some time later he waa terrified to find
the youth suspended between the floor and
the celling, apparently dead. He cut the
boy down and he soon regained conscious
