braska has no stata debt. Deputy State
Treasurer Frank Brian today paid off the
taut cent of the debt running against the
general fund, when ha took up wmrtnti
to the amount of f?MU.M.
' Thla la the flrat time the books C the
treasurer hare been tn the clear since
any one around the state house ran re
member, though on srrerat occasions bonds
have been Issued and paid. But there has
been a Mate debt practically ever since the
state was organised.
When Mr. Brian took charge of the
office of treasurer, the stats debt against
the general fund amounted to practically
S2.000.OCiO. In March, 1907, when he began
to keep a daily balance sheet, the state
debt had been cut down to $1,500,000.
While the state general fund Is clear
of obligations today it will be only a few
weeks until the state will again be be
hind. The appropriations made by the last
legislature have to be paid within this
btennlum and until December or January
there will be little money paid Into the
treasury. Thus In the Interim general fund
warrants will have to be registered. The
legislative appropriations totaled over $4,
000,000, of which the larger amount run
against the general fund.
tal Is to he of granite and with the ac
cessories Is to cost not more than $20,000,
while the figure Is to be of heroic site and
of bronse, to cost not morn than $20,000.
The legislature appropriated J2.1.000 nnd the
remainder la to be raised by popular sub.
scrlption.
Mr. French was chosen at a meeting
of the members of the Abraham Lincoln
Monument association, at which the fol
lowing were present: General Mandorson
of Omaha, Governor fcliallenberger, F. M
Hall, AddHon Wait, Secretary of State
Junkin and State Superintendent Bishop.
General Mandprson and Governor Shal
lenberger both favored the selection of
Guiion Borglum, but they were Informed
by Mr. Walt that both Gution Borglum
and his brother had withdrawn their names
because they did not want to compete
with each other. However, he expressed
the opinion that if either was selected he
would undertake the work.
Mr. French Is to present a model to the
committee and If the model Is not In every
way satisfactory to the committee he will
make no charge.
The committee was anxious to have Mr.
Hall, during his coming trip to Europe,
talk the matter over with the sculptors of
the . east and of Europe and select the
man, but Mr. Hall declined to take the
responsibility.

amounted to $S2,14S,723 this year, against
$74,277,800 the year previous.
The number of manufacturing plants In
creased In the year from 494 to M3. This
Is believed to be due to the fact that many
of the manufacturing plants failed to make
a report last year rather than to the
actual Increase In the number of plants.

tonight and a dosen residences seriously
damaged as the renult of a sudden tornado
which struck West Point at 6:30 The
tornado did extensive damage to property
but caused no Injuries to life and limb
that can be learned of.

have been largely local, though reports
are coming In from the surrounding coun
try of arns being blown down and sheds
demolished.
The tornado came down on the city al
most without warning. Its general airec
tlon was northwest to southeast, but its
force was largely spent here. The business
portion of the town did not suffer from
the wind, though the torrential rain which
followed did considerable damage to paving
and sidewalks.
The tornado struck the Catholic church
with terrific force, it whipped off the roof
as If It were a leaf In a light breese and
the eaMt wall of the church was blown
down. The other three walls are standing.
but likely will fall. The Interior of the
church is a scene ' of utter havoc.
The church was considered the finest In
this part of Nebraska and cost $.7,000 to
build. Fifteen thousand dollars in tor
nado Insurance was carried on It.
Of the dozen residences which suffered
that of Fritz Rosenthal received the most
Injury. The roof was torn off and the
cellars were filled wtlh water.
It was practically a water spout which
followed the tornado. The heavens seemed
to open and, a veritable -deluge descended
on the city, with the streets running like
rivers and way over curb and sidewalks.
Rev. Joseph Reusing, pastor of St. Jo
seph's, had been In Omaha during the day
and arriving home at 6:15 went to his
residence next door to the church. He
had hardly stepped Inside the house when
the tornado gripped the church. The par
sonage was not damaged at all.

Nebraska City Wants a Train.
NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., June 24. (Spe
rial.) L. W. Wakeley, general passenger
agent for the Burlington railway, was In
the city yesterday conferring with members
of the Commercial club regarding the put
ting on of another passenger train on the
branch between this city and Lincoln. Th
Commercial club has had the matter up
with him for some time, but he has Inclined
to the belief that It would not pay, because
the government would not give them a con
tract to carry two dally mails over this
line, and besides, It would be too long a
run for the train crew from Red Oak to
Lincoln and back In a day. They did not
care to put on extra crews to make the
run between this city and Lincoln, as the
crew from the east doubles back to Red
Oak here each day. He also Jnformed the
members that unless the city would closs
South Sixth street and give the road the
property they would not talk about the
matter of a new passenger depot The mat
ter of a new passenger depot has been up
for some time.

'Edward Pa) ion Weston, the veteran expert pedestrian, U
'walking across the continent, and writes back regularly to the
New York Timet. One of these letlers. from Viedlrln- Bow,
Wyoming, says: "The conditions for ftnUini slix-e i left
Kansas biv been the most difficult in my forty ilve years' ex
perience as a pedestrian. The towns are from 15
to- 25 miles apart. Between theit towns I find a lonely
section home, usually filled to Its capacity with section hands;
nationality, Creeks, Italians or Japanese. The Union Pacific
Railroad officials give me every posilble consideration.
When walking Is possible the Union PaclAc Railroad bed
makes in excellent path, It being perfectly; safe, as I under,
stand the block signals. These are about one mile apart, and
they Indicate when there Is a train approaching three miles
away. After making twelve miles yesterday against a gale,
blowing steadily at the rate of 70 miles on hour, I was
compelled to put up for the night at Ridge.
