I LINCOLN. Oct. 18. (Rpeclul.)-It Is the (neral Impression of those visiting l.ln fpoln that the nut legislature will ivfuw to make an appropriation for a now library building to house the state library, the- su preme court and the legal department of state, as badly as urh a butldinK is 'needed. Moat- of the visitors say ..It 1st foolish to think of a new building here as lon that 12,500,000 debt Is hanging over ! tha taxpayers, while others say Nebraska , will need a new capital building by trie time the state debt Is paid. Jt is by no means : certain, soma of the visitors say, that the i new oapltol building will be erected In ! Lincoln. Other towns nearer the center of ' j the state have long wanted the capital j location changed and It la said these towns will refuse to countenance any more build ings around the present state house. Okaaare la Methods Recommended. In his biennial report to be Issued the a M aw. iii-ri m ins year (secretary of State Qalusha will recommend to the legislature that tha fund at the various state Institutions 'bs abolished, or that the present methods I t setting money out of that fund , he changed. Tnder the present system 1 the cash fund Is made up of the receipt from amies made by the superintendent of stock raised at the Institution or any money that la received' from such sources. The super intendent practically has free rein In spend- uig tills money. The cash fund In some, of tha Institutions at times amounts to fjs.ono , to ss,wo. It Is not turned into the - state treasury at all. but Is kept by the superin tendent ud checked out on his personal check. ' Hhould a superintendent be so disposed he could use the money for speculstlng or be could buy state warrants with It and collect, the Interest and no one would be the 'Wiser. Mr. Qalusha wliu recommend , .this money be turned over to the Mate treasurer and be paid out on warrants just 4evs the other money appropriated tor ,the maintenance of state Institutions is paid OUt. , jt ; iam sssmoera or the Board of Public ! tnas ana Buildings will to to MUford to morrow to look over the two slate Institu tions there.. .

Ray has property valued at more than ll'JO.uxi. The court holds: In a proceeding on a petition fcf the appointment of a guardian for an alleged feeble-minded perwon, Ills next of kin are proper parties and may arpear In court and oppose the granting of the petition. It is error to hear petition for the appoint ment of a guardian fur an alleged feeble minded person before the hour set for the hearing upon the stipulation of such feeble minded person acting without counsel, waiving the time of hearing. ' lloadlna Company Held. A new opinion by the court In the case of the Inlted Stat.s Fidelity and Guaranty company against William McLaughlin and Edvar Waugh. the court concludes that Its former judgment was correct and again holds thut the bonding company Is liable for the defalcation of a deputy whose surety It has become. The court further decides' the -clause in Waugh'a bond as deputy county treasurer, limiting the right of action thereon In case of default to a period of six months after the bond ex piree cannot be enforced. The bonding company claims lack of lia bility because Waugh claimed to bs first deputy of the county treasurer, when he was. In fact, second deputy. It la alleged that the county treasurer had no authority to appoint such, deputy, and therefore the company Incurred no liability because Of his misrepresentation. The oouit holds that It Is Immaterial whether he was the first or second deputy. Baehr Elected Major. W. E.

O'Neill people were looking for something . good at the 8heldon meeting onlght- The senator made good. Though pitssed for time and weary from tits strain of the campaign, he pressed a whole lot of political gospel Into an hour's talk. The court room was crowded . to the utmost. hotable feature of the audience was the large numtxr of stockmen and farmer. Congressman Klnkaid presided and spoke on the achievements of our country unusr republican admalnlstratlon. He showed that while In 1891 there were S.oon.noo labor ing men, 2.0O0.(W0 of whom were Idle, there are now 6,noo,u00 of the same class, not a one of whom is idle who wants to work, and 2,000,000 more could find jobs. W. E. Scott, candidate for county at torney:' Sam Green, for the legislature. and F. W. Phillips, for state senator, also spoke. Sheldon took up the subjects of taxation nd freight and ' passenger rates. He said he believed the state had the power to compel the railroads to pay their taxes. and compared the republican attitude to- ward the railroads that are refuting to pay the assessment made by the Btate board with the democratic attitude. In Holt county Mr. Sheldon seild there had been 62 per cent increase In the assessed valuation of railroads alnce 1S9S and S per cent Increase on land. He said the repub lican platform declares for end he believes In it and Is preaching It. the assessment of railroad property according to Its value. the same as other property, while the fu slonlsts talk that way, too. he said they did the opposite thing when In power.

In the matter of freight rates Mr. Shel don ssid he did not understand why tii?y were 60 per cent higher on wheat 1" Ne braska than In Iowa; why tha railroads and steamsMps will haul 100 pounds of flour from St. Louis to Liverpool for 22 cents and charge 27 cents to haul It across Nebraska; why -it costs 126 more to get a car of corn from O'Neill 'to Omaha than from a point In Iowa tha same distance sway; why coal was da- llverd from Wyoming to Lincoln and Omaha tl a ton cheaper 'than at other points 100 or 400 miles nearer the nilnei. What we wsnt, said the jenator. Is a law that will eta on the statute books regu lating these things. - The democrats offer a confusion of rem edies In their platform. The republican remedy Is clearcut. The democrats say enforce the maximum freight rate law which every reputable lawyer In the state says can't be enforced. Mr. Shallenberger say a let the government own the ratl- roada. That would mean a debt on Ne braska taxpayers drawing $400,000,000 an nual interest and probably no reduction In freight rates. .The republican remedy, he said, was to establish a railway com mission with authority to prohibit any unjust rate and establish a just one. That Is the idea In the national law and th.it Is what we want to co-operate with by enacting a state law, he said. The only way to get this is to eliminate railroad influence from the legislature- . The re publican party is striving to ' do this. We have done It In" the party.-' I" don't know where the railroad supporters have gone to, but you can guess. The rail roads are fighting us to the laat ditch on this, but we are going to stand or fall on the everlasting truth that the people must have a fair deal on freight rates. The audience was notably impressed by Sheldon's speech and went wild with cheers. 1 Difference fa the Parties. BLOOMFIBLD, Neb., Oct. ls.-(8peclul Tsiegram.) Although a drissling rain kept many at home, the republican meeting In the opera house last night was well attended. Senator George L. Sheldon, Judge aX. tl. Hopewell and O. W. Wiltsie spoke. Hon. Sherman Saunders presided. Judge Hope well, who was the first speaker, dwelt upon the necessity for railroad legislation in the state. Referring to the pledges In writing of the candidates for the legislature and state offices to stand by the platform, he said that the people had the assurance that the reforms advocated therein would be carried out. G. W. Wiltsie, candidate for the state senate, was not only Instructive but highly entertaining, his humorous sto rles and witty applications brought forth frequent applause. Referring to a speech of C. Shallenberger, delivered a short time ago, Mr. Wlllsle said Shallenberger in a speech the other night said that the republicans reminded hlra of the Jewish custom of taking a goat and loading upon it the sins of the people and driving It forth into the wilderness, carrying their sins with It, so that they knew him no more forever. It is to be regretted that the democratic party has never maintained a scapegoat. It has sometimes been the case that the scapegoat driven out of the re publican party has been adopted by the democratic party and become a prominent and useful member of hat organisation. Sheldon la (oavlaelas. The earnestness and unquestioned sin eerily of Senator Sheldon mode a profound Impression upon his hearers. Hut presenta tion of freight rates, 2-cent pusueuger fare, railroad assessment and other state issues was clear and convincing. He spoke for over an hour and aa one who had nothing to conceal or avoid. He struck out straight from the shoulder, and his arraignment of tax dodging corporations in Nebraska was fair and fearless. On railroad assessment Mr. Sheldon said In part: "The democratic press and campaign speakers are making much ado about noth ing in regard to the assessment of taiN road property In this ?tate. 1 want to cull your attention to the fact that the real eatate In this slate in l'.no was assessed at IIU.IK-'.SU), and in l'.Oo it was assessed at tl90,643,u. an increase of about 71 per cent. The railroad property In Nebraska in 1900 was a.-u sed at fc.t.442.4, and in 13Ui it was assesaed at Ul.VSI.M. an increase of tl per cent. I hold that the Increased as sessed valuation of railroad property was justified by the fact that in the year 19u0 and other years about that Hinc prior to the enactment of the new rtvenuo law the railroad property In the state was not as sessed In due proportion with other prop erty. The assessment of 1Su6 was made bjj a republican board of assessment. The trouble la that the burllnglun and I'nion Pacific railroads refused to pay in full the taxes that acre regularly levied arid as sessed against them. In my opinion the democratic orators and campaign mana gers should be condemning thd railroads for their infamous action ra'.her than coi detuning the republican board of assess ment for increasing the assessed valuation of the railroad property in this state in 106 Ut per cent more than the increase on real estate. Tha republican party In its last state convention indicated thut the I'nion Pacific and Bur lUigton railroads should have accepted the valuation placed upon their rop,rty by the Slate Board of Assessment and Equal isation and paid then: Uxts as other vor- pnratlune and pet sons did. I want my democratic friends 10 read over their plat form when they go home and see rf they can find any declaration nf that sort la their state platform, and If not ask them selves conscientiously why such a dr1s ratlon was not made. The republican stats platform also says, 'We declare ourselves ss unalterably opposed to the Interference of corporations In public affairs.' "I want my democratic friends to red their platform and see If they find any plank In it like that, and If not, ask them selves consclentloualy why their party has not such a plunk In their platform. The republican party Is not tn any way con trolled by railroad Influence and Is fight ing for a square deal In Nebraska. The democratic party and Its allied rallroait forces sre fighting the republican party, thereby attempting to defeat the will of the people of this sjale In their desire to secure Justice." Opealaa- at Waasa. WAUSA. Neb.. Oct. IS. ( Special. ) The first republican rally of the fall campaign In this locality was held here yesterday. The speakers were Judge Boyd, candidate for congress; Judge Hopewell, candidate for lieutenant governor; and W. D. Funk, candidate for county attorney. They were introduced by Postmaster Richmond and wre heartily applauded throughout. Judge Hopewell spoke at length of the free pans, railroad taxation and discrimination as af firmed by the republican platform. Mr. Boyd's speech and also that of Mr. Punk were more along the lines of the national questions and were - well received and heartily applauded. ftbeldna at Croftoa. CROUTON, Neb.. Oct. 18. (Special.) This old town, which is just now experi encing all the changes and excitements in cident to the advent of a railroad, yester day for the first time was the scene of a genuine political rally. Announcement had lieen made that Hon. George L. Sheldon, Hon. M. R. Hopewell, Prof. Edward G. Maggl of Lincoln and J. A. Williams of Pierce would address the people of Crot ton on the Issues ot the day from a re publican standpoint, and a large crowd of farmers from the surrounding country was on hand to greet and hear the next gov ernor of Nebraska. A change was made In the personnel of the party and only a part of those named came here, the balance going to Wausa. Prof. Maggl led off in the speaking here and Interested the audience with a very clear description of conditions as they exist today. He .was followed by Hon. George W. Wiltsie'of Randolph republican candi date for state senator from the Eighth dis trict, who stated that. If elected, he would stand squarely by the promises made in the republican plstform and the reforms advocated by Mr. Sheldon. By request of a number of farmers, Mr. Sheldon confined his remarks to a discus sion of the railroad question, and dis cussed that matter In the clear and under standing way which has become so well known with this stalwart young candidate. He presented facts, figures and data in so concise a way that his audience was forced to see the matter in Its true light, and after the meeting was closed the expres sions of those present, regardless of poli tics, wero very flattering to Mr. 8heIdon.

Some time In August Mr. Kanaly left hers for Welch, I. T., in company with John and Martin Kanaly, Peter Frederick and T. L. Himmelrelch. Ail of the party purchased tickets at the depot hers for the round trip. but. through some mistake, the tickets of Jerry and John Kanaly Were wrong and they had to get them changed at Kansas City.' At the depot their new tickets were given to Jerry from Kansas City to Welch and back and other tickets from Kansas City to Falls City. In some way the tickets from Kansas City to Falls City were mis placed by Jerry, and when they reached Kansas City on their way- home he could not find them. He told the conductor of the circumstances and the conductor made him pay his fare from Kansas City to Falls City for him and John Kanaly, giving re ceipts for the money and Informing him that he could get his money back by re turning the tickets he had misplaced and making the claim. When Jerry returned home ha found the tickets In the lining of his coat and put In his claim to the railroad, and the only sat isfaction he could get was the letter from the head office, as follows: To Mr. J.
