STATE STOPUUYING BONDS

Outstanding Warrants.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Dec. 31.-(Spcclal.)-Xo moro
bonds will bo bought by the state, ac
cording to State Treasurer George, until
al lof the W00.000 outstanding registered
warrants have been taken up.
The Board of Public Lands and Funds
me yesterday and' Instructed the treas
urer to use the money accumulntlng In
the educational funds for the purpose of
taking up tho warrants.
The state board last summer did not
think t necessary to call on tho state
for a 1-mlll levy under the Sheldon law
which was created for the purpose of
taking up outstanding warrants, being
loth to saddle upon tho taxpayers of
tho state any gTcatcr burden than the
legislature haa .joen fit to call upon them
to pay State Treasurer George was of
the opinion then that It would not be
necessary, being one of tho board who
did not wish to make the levy any higher
than It was really necessary. Mr. Ceorgo
has been of the opinion for somo time
that the state ought to use tho money
accumulating and take up the warrants.
He also believes that tho funds derived
from the special levy made for university
extension could bo used for this purpose
and the fund reimbursed when needed
Instead of laying Idle.
Howover, by the new order of the
board, the state will be paying Interest
to Itself Instead of to private parties and
people who need tho money will not be
compelled to get their warrants cashed
at a 1 per cent discount.
The Board of Public Lands and Funds
consists of Governor Morehead, State
Treasurer George, Auditor Howard, At
torney General Martin, Secretary of
State Walt and Land Commissioner
Bcckman.
Reason for Delay.
Much of the delay In taking up war
rants is due to the failure of co' -Uy
treasurers to remit to tho state treasu.Sr
money on hand in the several county
treasuries belonging to the state. Treau
urer George has tried to havo a law
passed covering this very point, but his
plan has not met with favor by tho treas
urers. who seem to consider It necessary
to let the money accumulate for several
months before sending it In.
The fault to a great extent lies with
those treasure re who fall to remit, in'
stead of with the state board, because
the warrants are not paid when pre
sented. The state treasurer cannot' com
pel county treasurers to send In the
funds dua the state If they would father
keep them In local banks, so that the
county can draw interest on them. Just
why county treasurers should be allowed
to loan state funds In their possession
to local banks for about 2 per cent when
the state Is compelled to pay 4 per cent
on registered warrants because of the
neglect of county treasurers Is not very
good business policy and a problem which
tho new state tax commission will look
into.
Douglas BenA Check.
The county treasurer of Douglas county
csnt a check to the state treasurer for
the sum of $77,000 due the stute from the
collection of taxes In that county. This
is the largest remittance that has come
In from any ono source this year.
Dentrice Institute Reports.
A report of the Bcatrlco Institute for
feeble minded shows enrolled in that In
stitution at the present time 450 people

Lincoln Ranchers
to Plant Large Areas
in Sweet Clover
SUTHE1U.AND, Neb., Dec. 3t.-(Spe-clal.)
As a result of an almost general
attention to sweet clover as a forage
cro; for stock It Is probable that several
hundred acres will bo grown In Lincoln
county this season. It will bo given con
siderable attention In the more sandy
localities where alfalfa can only bo
grown with difficulty and at little profit,
and ijulto a number of thoso owning such
places have each made arrangements to
plant several 4cres.
Not In many years has the earth been
so full of moisture at thin season of tho
year and farmers regard tho outlook for
small grain for tho coming season ns
excellent. Tho acreago of spring wheat
will bo great, although there Is much
winter wheat In.
That tho stock growers and ranchers
learned a costly lesson In tho blizzard
of the latter end of last winter Is ap
parent from tho amount of additional
shelter which has since been provided.
Many of the ranchers and larger farmers
have perfected arrangements for shel
tering all their herds, even to the extent
of Indoor feeding facilities. Much stock
will havo access to sholter at all times,
as such care has been found to pay.

KEARNEY, Neb., Deo. a.-(Speclal.)-Dr.
Nelllo G. C. Deffcnbaugh, superin
tendent of the Stnto Hospital for Tuber
culous at KearnSy, denies tho charges
made against her by Mrs. Maud Putt

baugh. A graduate nurse haa arrived
from Chicago and one from Des Moines.

eggs and bacon have been purohased,
paid for and used at the Institution.
Dr. Deffenbaugh states that she had
been warned by tho former employes
that if they lost their positions they

well and that everyone Is doing all in
their power to better their condition.
She invites inspection of the board or
of private Individuals at all times.
