ANOTHER CHANCE
FOR REEDJO RULE
Section of Statutes Found that Bean
Down Hard Upon State Treas
urer in Warrant Stand.
STILL THERE MAY BE LOOPHOLE
(TYom a Stuff Corrpspondpnt.)
LINCOLN. Fept, 17. (Sipclal.) Har.
rnony, the kind tbat makes a democrat
want to kick a cat Jurt. to sop It Jump,
U still seisins; whom It may devour.
Whllo mate officers and their ap
pointees are holding their breaths won
dering: what will come next, up 1k1s a
new complication and the little old dove
of peace leaves hla frnJl footing on the
top of the old state house dome and
Mdes himself In "Ilohbers' Cave." out
near the penitentiary.
. Then State Treasurer George Halt
yetday discovered that he was In
error when he thowcht no appropriation
had been made to pay expenses of the
slate fire commission and refused to pay
the warrants when presented by Klre
Commissioner Rldgell, he promptly no
tified the commissioner that the funds
were, ready for him.
Find !'ew Section.
Now comes another complication. Sec
tion 6S of the statutes sars:
"Any such treasurer who ahall fail
to register any warrant In the order of
Its presentation therefor, or shall fall
to pay the same In the order of Its regis
tration, shall be liable on his official
bond to each and every person, the pay
ment of whose warrant or warrants Is
hereby postponed. In the sum of $WV
to bo recovered In a civil action, one
half of wnkfh shall go to the person
bringing such action and one-half to the
school fund In the county wherein such
action la brought."
Section 66S2, under the cap'fm of
"Penatty for Refusal to Pay WiSrant,"
reads:
"If the state treasurer shall wilfully
refuse or neglect to pay any warrant
lawfully drawn upon the treasury, when
the money for the payment of the same
Is In the treasury, he shall forfeit and
pay four-fold the amount, to be recov
ered by action against the treasurer and
his sureties on his official bond or oth
erwise. He shall also suffer such pun
ishment as the law shall provide."
Possible Loophole.
There is a slight chance for a hitch
In that the -warrants are said never
to have been signed by Hall as state
treasurer, and consequently were of no
value as warrants until after they bore
his signature. If such Is the case a
state treasurer could refuse to sign war
rants with the same effect as his re-i
fusal to cash them afterwards and the
real purpose of stopping payment would
have been effected.
This will give another chance for a
ruling by the attorney general.

on them
You can buy a suit at $10, $15, $20 or
any other price at most any clothftig

quality. Look to the fabric, pattern, style,
workmanship, fit and finish. These are
the basis for comparison, the features'
which determine values.
A KING-PECK $15 suit will measure
up, point for point, with $20 suits fea
tured elsewhere. In our price range, $10
to $40, vou'll find suits undervalued irom
$3 to $8. This positivo saving is your's
if you will but see that your new fall
