The Iatter official was found at the lastitution. Dr. Test was absent, and tho envoy at an early hour this morning, was hunting him. The fact was, however, that the doctor had left on the train yesterday and reached Lincoln in the after- noon It the investigation which tho board con- tomplates should unseat tho ofclals in ques- tion, thore il bo Little regret hero. The good peoplo of this ci'y, as a rule, are toorti- fled over the storles which have been recited about both worthies. The latter are strang- ers, have no interest in common with the citizens, and have unfortunately added to the disgrace already occasioned by the erection of tho asylum in tho reckless and worthless manner, which has b made apparent to every taxpayer of the state, not only through The Ber, but by all honest and fearless papers of the state. Tho people feel all the more keenly the opprobrium, because thess men have secured their positions against the Pprotest of the taxpayers and the candiducy of capablo and representative republicans of this city. Tir: Bee representative called upon anum- bor of morchants today and through them Joarned that it was a surpriso that the expose had not beon made carlier. One of these said: Seandalous “social” Evonts, ““The management of the Institution has boon a disgrace. I have actually kunown women who rank among us as respectable who, after attending gatherings or parties or something of tho kind at that place, who wore scarcely able to reach their carriuges because of being under the influence of drink —of what kind [ don’t know.” The impression provails that the asylum has been run in the interest of the ofticials and a certain number of merchants who have beoen able to secure all tho contracts. In the matter of drugs alono this opinion would seem to bo well founded. One firm here has had the Inside track for some time, ‘but the magnitude of its profits was ot discovered until May last. Shortly bofore the 5th of that month Gov- ernor Boyd appointed Dr. Johnson of Iair- mont as superintendent of the asylum. On taking hold of the place, he concluded to take an inventory of the property of the institu- tion., He called somo experianced gentlemen 1o bis assistance. Among them was Mr. Ed- ward W. Bexten, connected with the drug houso of MoWade & Smith of this city. Among the goods to bo invencoried were tho drugs. When Dr. Test heard that Mr. Bex- ten had been selocted he objected to nis hav- fng anythiog to do with the drug stock Nevertheless, the inventory work of the rest of tho Iustitution was pro- ceoded with, the drugs Dbeing loft to tho last. When theso wero reached, it socms that Dr. Test mado no further ob- Jacticn. As a consequence the following are & fow of thediscoverios: Boom Priccs on hrugs. Epsom salts were charged at the rate of 6 cents per pound. In tho same connection there was an item of sulphate of magnesia at the rate of $1.20 per pound. Now, these two articlos are really one ana the same thing. erine was listed as having cost 75 cents and, when it retails almost every place at 45 cents, Carbonated cosmeline had cost §1 per pound, where its usuul price to ordinary con- sumers is but 30 cents per pound. Lard oil had cost §1 per gallon cents would have been a good price. Thero were also found in the stock pills of aloin, strychnine, belladonna a; cara. It would ba lmp.ossible to use this num- ber of pellots fn the institution in ten years, unless they were given as daily food to the inwates, Leading drug stores supplying ‘hundreds of people do not use mora than 1,000 a year. These pills should not cost ‘more than §2 per thousand, and yet in the in- vontory the managoment seomed to have paid $20 per thousand for them. . Then there was a barrel of what was called “wiwood preservative.” This was simply a barrel of linseed oil, not worth §50. The list showed, however, that it had cost $128. The difforenco was a royal price for tho littlo dose of Japan which was probably put iuto it for drying. ‘Then thern was the disinfectant known as sanitas jelly, of which there was about twelve pounds on hand. This was listed at 81 per pound when itrotails at 25 cents per pound. Sanitas liquid, which is sold to private con- sumers at 50 cents per gallon, cost the state $1.50 per gallon. Of this compound there ‘was about half a barrel on hand. Tho specifications called for n proparation styled Elixir of veef, iron and wine, lacto pepsine, the ordinary prico of whica is 35 per gallon. Instead of this, however, an inferior articla bearing the same names, lactated pepsine, was substituted. It was worth about $4 per bottle, "Thoso arebut a fow samples which Mr. oxten was able to note in writing, though o percoived that nearly overy article on the list was charged at the samo extravagant rate. How much of u rake off there was in the purchases is therefore only speculative The ruke-off, however, was in keeping with the smouut which was unnecessarily chargod 10 tho poople. Druggists and the Doctor, Ono firm has beon supplying these goods, and its wrip the other druggists of this city havo not been ablo to looson. This is not be- causo tho latter have not tried, but_because they have not been allowed an opportunity of competing. On March 27 the drug firm of McWade & Buiith wrote to the secretary of state, setting forth that they desired to bid on the drugs. They were told they would be given an op- ortuity so to do. They never heard from Dr. Test or Steward Livermnghouse until May. One morning thoy received an esti- . mate of the amount of drugs they would be required to furnish and wero notified that their bid should **be in" by noon of that day The time was too short and the firm did not bid. Another drug firm, Hicks & Co., was treated in tho same manner. It shoved in a bid, however, in u hasty manner, The mem- bers wore told that thay wore defeated be- cause the successful tirin was 80 lower. But the figures of the succossful firm wero not published. Some of thow are now given in ik B for tho first time. Anothor druggist romonstrated with Test for tho manner in which tho oidding was dono ind was told that tho only drug storo in Hustings which could bid on the contract was the one to whom the contract was awarded. And yet thero are soveral stores Bero which could readily supply any demand of the asylum. What is truo of the drug truo of tho lines of boots and and other supplhies which the asylum de. mands. It is tho successful *bidders" in these articies who are the warm-hearted de- fondurs here of Test and Liveringhouse. Deficiency Appro riation S In this connection there 13 a legisiative ohapter which shows the criminal metbods mado use of by the management to perpet- uato itself. Thero was asked for by tho assylum at tho 1ast session $28,800 for tho purpose of making good the deficit, whicn it was alleged had boen mado. At tho rates above mentioned, it 18 surprising that the deficit was not twice that sum “Tho uppropriation bill in due time came boforo the committee on ways and That was & committeo which was on the cut The wily management, however, aimod to get Ats bill considered wheu the most inquisitive mewbers were absont Dr. Test went before the committee and everul of the members asked him for an towized account of the deticit, But the doo- when 75 business is also shoes, clothing sured. meaus. tor simpiy smiled at them aud tho itoms, while not rofused, were nover offered Finally tain members threatened to o the fight in the house, his nows was sent_down to Hastings and tho firms who had boon enjoying the patro age of the asylum were assessed #2300, This was raised in two installments, Throe hundred of it went to a representa- tive who _does ot live very far from the Platte river, $100 to & man who lives not far from Hastings and the other $200 was divided for expenses and pin, monoy for other mombers, This bribery was suspected time it occurred. The names legislators who received the money aro known. Their conduct, howover, i3 not considered any more reprehensible by the good citizens of this place than that of the manager of the asylum, who concealed the purposes for which the aporopriation was demanded. When it was announcod here that thoe de- ficiency aporopriation had been lohbied through tho legisiature at an expense of only $000, n merchant of the cf y said Weil, we expected it would ocost 700 more, at tho of the T e HAUNTED BY AN ARMED WOMAN An English Actor Flies the Fseape His Nemesis. New York, June 25.—Among the passen- wers who sailed on tne Germanic for Queons- town yesterday morniug was a neatly attired young Englishman whom the ladies would nave pronounced good looking had not his clean-shaven face beeo such a picturo of anxioty and fear. If this gentleman roaches Queenstown in toto—that is, without the punctures of a stiletto—he will consider him- elf lucky and roly upon tho vigilant English *‘bobby"" to protect him th aftér. Butif o handsome brunette, with sharp eyes and a dagger more so, should suddenly interrupt him while enjoying & smoke on deck or a game of cards in the cabin, he will have to acknowlodge the situation as gracefully as possiblo and tremblingly await develop- ments, Tho pursued young Englishman is Henry Caseman, the shadower and necromancor who canie to this country with Mark's inter- national vaudeville show late last season The mysterious woman is unknown, but sho soman from San Francisco to New York, including stops at different wost- evn citics, concluding by cornering her victim in the Hotel Arno, at Twenty-eivhth street and Broadway, lato Tuesday” night. There was a genoral scurrying of dusky porters and ovs, and what happened they still curely as the facts of a hotel sui- cide. Casemau himself told the story tosome friends as they patrolled Broadway with him like & bodyguard until the Germanic steamed away from New York with tho Englishman on board. Caseman is well known in Eng- land and on tho continent by the patrons of tho vaudeville houses and has an extensive acquaintanco In this country. “At Sun Francisco,’ he said, “I was stopped ono night by a stylish and ox- pensively dressed woman whilo returning to my room from tuo thoater, Her actions v s0 queer that I thought I had been accosted by one of your counfidence women, and I ro- fused to spend_any moro timo with hor thau Icoula hélp. I was then stormed by notes from this woman, who nover signed a namo and always requosted to see mo on 1MDOrLAnt business, Finally one night I had to go home escorted by two policomen.’ Hero the excited Britisher produced a clip- ping from a San Francisco paper 1w corrob- oration of his story. The article announcod that tho queer altions of o heavily veiled woman, who had occupied @ box at the Windsor thoatre and afterward appearod at tho stage door, calling loudly for Caseman and flourishing'a daggor, had made it nece sary for the gentleman to have an escort bome that night. “To make a long story short,” continuod Caseman, “I curtailed iy ongagement in "Frisco and wont to Butte, Mont. Tho samo thing happened and I went to Seattle. This woman appeared at ono of my performances there and I went to Chicago to play at tho Eden Museo, I thought I had escaped her until I noticed her in a front seat ono night toward the latter part of my engagement. I sent for the police, but they could not arrest the woman unless T made chargos, and did not know her namo or exactly of wh accuse her, I had to bo driven to tho hotel, ashort distanco away, in a cab. She was at the hotel early in the morning but tho manager refused bor entrance. 1 managod to evade ber after that, Larrivod hece Tuesday morning. I started to my room Tuesday night about 11:30 o'clock, never thinking of the girl, when sho appeared in the hallway. Sho said nothing and I did not realizo it was sho until she slashed my coat with a knife. I dodged her blows and cried, but beforoany one came sho loft tho hotel, ‘walking quietly out of tho oftice and attracting no attention from any one. Who she is and why she should so hauntme I have no idea. I never saw her bofore, eithier on this side or the other side of tho water and I am s innocent of any offense agalnst her as you are.” The Englishinan’s story, so far as his cry- ing for help and appearing in the oftice of tho hotel with his coat slashod, and the disap- pearance of a young lady dressod in black and heavily veiled just afterward is con- corned, was vouchedf or by tho hotel clerk and ball boys.

Much Interest is Taken in the Work at Fremont. SUCCESS AT BEATRICE IS ASSURRED. Larger Crowds Than Kver Liston to Practical and Instructive Talks by a Number of Promis nent Lecturers. Frestoxt, Nob., June 25,—[Special to Tin Bek.|—The work of the second day at the Chautauqua_grounds opened with a bible reading by Rov. H. A. Cram, subject, “Egyp- tian Experience.” The hour was much on- joy At 9a. m. tho different dopartments re organized, The senior normal class, conducted by Dr. Pattin, discussod the “Au- thenticity of the Bible." In the Womon's Christian Temporance union tent quite an interesting body of young people wero gathered to heac Mrs, M. M. Bailey in the junior work of the Chautaaqua unton. The class was well organized and the young folks delightod with the work. This is expected to be one of the most attractive features of the assembly, and the boys and girls will receive great ploasuro and profit from it. The teachers’ retreat opened with the an- nouncements of the work for the session by Dr. Hornbargor, tho suporintendont of tho department. Prof. Charles Eldred Shelton gave a class drill in free gymnastics which afforded much amusement. Miss May Swanson followed this with a class in pri- mary reading. Tho attendance at the teach- ors! rotreat was good and tho prospéct for a son of profitable work is fino. It is the intention of the management to make this part of the Chautauqua a verita- ble summer school of methods for teachers. The chorus class, under Prof. L. A. Townes, met in the auditorium.

He illustrated tho beuefits to the old and young. He said tho Chautauqua idea was pre-eminently Amer- ican. The benefit of concentrating the mind uapou one line of work was shown to bo last- ing. The address was fillod with attractive illustrations and pointod sayings, aud con- vinced the hearors that many rare treats were in stora for them who were to hear him during the days to come, Dean Wright, at 3 p. “Christ in Prophecy.” In tho various dopartments there wero talks upon the “Aims of the Woman's Chris- tian Temperanco Union” by Mrs. M.

The rain continued until about 10 o'clock this morning, and, not- withstanding the genoral inconvenience, the rogular programme was followed cut to the lottor. The feature of today was the lecturo by Rov. Sam Jones at the tabernacle at o'clock this afternoon. The great @l was filled to its utmost ca- pacity. The occentric divine gave another fifteen minutes’ talk this evening preceding tho regular ordor. Following this was an in- teresting musical preludo by the big chorus, after which Dr. A. A.
