State House Officials Worry Over
Erecting Lincoln Monument.
POOL SAYS DEMOS DID IT
Attorney General ll-calls thnt Sec

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Auk. iZ (8pecIal.)-Who is
responsible for the Lincoln monument
erected at the west entrance to the state
house grounds Is the question which has
been agitating people at the state house
since the picnic last Monday.
Little did Attorney General Martin
think that when he alluded to Secretary
of tSate Walt at the picnic as the
author of the monument idea that It
would bring out the storm which seems to
have arisen. Secretary of State Walt was
assigned to the subject of the Lincoln
monument and gave some history of Its
butldln..
Labor Commissioner Charles Pool has
taken exceptions to the remarks of Mr.
Walt and with "flashing eye and crimson
cheek" denounces the statement that Mr.
Walt was the whole thing and says that
the democratic party is responsible for
the Lincoln monument and not Mr.
Walt. "It beats Halifax," said Mr. Pool,
"that the only time the democratic party
ever had a legislature in Nebraska that
it can't get credit for what it did. I was,
speaker of the lower house and we voted
I20.000 for that monument and Secretary
Walt was not tho whole cheese by a
long shot."
Martin Telia History.
nl answer to the statement of Mr.
Tool, Attorney General Martin said this
morning that ho was present at a ban
quet 4of the Young Men's Republican club
In Lincoln soveral years ago nnd taht at
that banquet the idea of erecting a mon
ument to President Lincoln was proposed
in a resolution Introduced by Mr. Walt
and was adopted.
Mr. Walt said this morning that ho
prepared the bill two years ago for an
appropriation for the monument of $15,000.
The bill passed the house and ' went to
the senate. While in tho hands of tho
ponate, P. M. Hall of Lincoln, Senator
John Miller of Lincoln and Llentenant
Governor Hopewell thought that the
nmount should be $20,000 and the senate
raised the appropriation to that amount.
The bill went back to tho house and
the house refused to concur in the raise
by the senate and cut down the ampunt
to the original sum of $15,000. A con
ference committee of the two bodies
finally agreed on the $a),000 and it was
passed at that figure.
Mnken Kiinlpment Contract.
Tho Northwestern railroad company is
preparing to odd new equipment to its
rotd and this mornlnjr there V(n.a filed,
with the secretary of state an equipment
contract with the Farmers Loan and
Trust company in the sum of $10,000,000
for the now stuff. ,
The contract calls for the building of
f four switch engines, -2,000 gondala cars
i end 2,005 bo cars.

Crnlsr at State Fnlr.
Captain Craig of Company F, Fifth
regiment has been selected by Colonel H.
J. Paul to represent that regiment at the
state fair. One captain from each regi
ment will be selected to have charge of
the guards. The selection is based upon
their efficiency at the redent maneuvers.
Want Maneuvers Attain.
As evidence that the maneuvers were
a. success in more ways than one, General
Hall, who returned yesterday from
Waterloo and other points where he was
settling claims against the .guard for
supplies furnished and use of horses, says
that he met with many requests that the
maneuvers be pulled off again next year.
As a general thing' people all along tile
route of the companies are well satisfied
with the conditions and the conduct of
the guard is commended. Of course. in a
crowd of nearly 1,500 men it is natural
that thero should be some who would
over step the bounds of military rule,
but this year the offenses apepar to me
i minimum.
Mr. Green Capitulates.
Mrs. Green of Geneva, after denying
the state the privilege to extend drainage
pipes through her land near tho Girls'
industrial school at that place, has finally
come to an agreement with the board.
Mrs. Green was here yesterday and con
ferred with the board and the matter
was satisfactorily adjusted. Mrs. Green
waives all claims for damages and will
allow the dater from- tho septic tanks-to
stand on her land provided that the mat
ter is brought before the' legislature at
its next session. Judge Holcomb made
Uie negotiations.

ing to records of tho' secretary of state's

Sixth District Congressman Says
Government Will See Knlr I'lnr
When Homenteails Are
Allotted In West.
(from n Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-(Spcclal Tele,
gram.) Congressman Klnkald Is In re
celpt of letters from constituents com
plnlnln? that efforts aro betng made to
lay 'foundations for preference rights for
specific entries on the better lands In the
North Platte forest reserve with, a view
to avoiding tho hazard ot competition
with homeseekers In general when the
formal opening shall occur.
Mr. Klnkald went straight to Acting
Secretary Jones, also to Commissioner
Tollman yesterday Imparting to theso of
ficials the information received and re
questing that proper steps be taken to
safeguard the rights of the public In the
matter. These officials promptly gavo
satisfactory assurances that his wishes
would be compiled with.
Several times since the first steps for
tho opening were taken, Mr. Klnkald, has
found it expedient to request tho depart
ment to guard against "sooners" and
prevent any entries under any laws of
tho forest resorve lands to bo eliminated
for homestead entry. In each instance he
has been advised by the scretory or com
missioner that entries would be in viola
tion of tho provisions of tho presidential
proclamation.
How I.nw Heads.
The pertinent clause reads: "No person
will bo permitted to gain or exercise any
right whatever under any settlement or
occupation beijun prior to such date and
all of which settlement and occupation
are hereby forbidden."
Mr. Klnkald declares he will earnestly
oppose by every legitimate means any
effort to secure entries of whatever kind
of the forest reservo lands, as well as of
tho Fort Nlobrnrn military reservation
land by mouns other than provided for
tho formal openings.
Ho expects to pnss a bill authorizing the
secretary of tho Interior to provide apo
dal rules and regulations for the openlmr
of the Noith Platte forest reservo lands,
or that Jt will be merged with a bill for a
general law which will authorize the sec
retary to provide cults, for several open
ings scattered over the west to take placo
this fall.
Mr. Klnkald conferred this morning
with the forestry officials and ascer
tained that matters aro being properly
safeguarded by that bureau.
