IF IS STILL A NYSTERY. Time Oasts Little Light on the Adams County Deficit. THOUSANDS STILL UNACCOUNTED FOR, ul Wasn Poor Man When He rad His OfMce and H pds Are Confident That Ile No Troanur Burre ¥ri Stole Money. Hastixos, Neb,, Jan. 15, —[Special to Tne fire.) —Although more than a week has elapsed smce it was first oficial nounced that there was a shortago of over 000 in the Adams county treasury, the whole affair connected with the deficit is as much of & mystery as over. The county has received $352,000 from the bondsmen in cash, leaving tho taxpayers, if Deputy Fist's conlession is true, some §20,000 poorer. The County Board ot Supervisors which rotired frowm offico Saturday has received much unfavorable comment, both from the farmers and merchants, on their naste in making a sevtlement for and on their com- promising & claim of over $0,000 for less than one-third of the amount. Much discon- tont has been manifested, and it would sur prise no one to see the county once more under the commissioner system. A petition was eirculated in the early part of the week asking that the late board bo prosecuted for making the sottiement, but as tha county uttoruey Knows nothing of it the petition prooably died an early death, Fx- Deputy Fist, aciing under the advice of his counsel, refuses to talk concerning the short- age. Neithor his official nor bail bondsmen appenr much concerned over Lis conuection with the affair. Avout two minutes after 1718t was released from custody h» executed an indemnity bond to his bail bondsmen. 1t is confidently asserted by one of the official bondsmen that when the proper time comes 1ist will in self-dofenso be compellad to give the true solution of the mystery, whick, it is claimed, will completely exonerate him. Another great mystery 1s how Treasurer Paul could . misuppropriate’ §52,000, besides $7,000 a'year salary which he bhas not drawn out of the treasury for the lasy threc years, and yet leave the ofice a poor man. By Mr. Paul’s friends it is pronounced an 1mpossi bility, and it certainly one of tho strongest points in his favor. Itisremarkable, that although the bondsmen for Mr. Paul’s second term are not tiable for any. shortuge of the first term, several of the boundsmen on the second bond were quier willing to settle a deficit of the first term, of which the super- virors had no official notice, and for which these bondsmen were not legully liablo. It is the general comment that theso bondsmen aro not the versons to belp the more uufortu- nate ones on the first bond out ot a difficulty, unless they can at the same time nelp them- solves.

There was nothing of the popular fdol about him, little as is really required in this re spect of one whose prospects seemed so | magnificent, and the expressions of sympathy and sorrow that are now heard on every sido may oe credited, as far as the dead prince is concerned, to the loss of those prospects. Bolt ¥ by the Natlon. for the prince and princess of Wales the sorrow and sympathy of all classes is as pure as it is intense, Great Britain is a lana ot mourning. The mournful clangmg of thousands of bells still seems to fill the air. There is butove suvject of conversation— the dead prince and the bolt that has struck the royal family. The press contains little but accounts of his life and death and ex pressions of sympathy from all parts of tho world, In the general sorvow, the noox girl whoso lot only o few days ago seemed so brilliant is not forgotten. Princess Mary will never be queen of England. - She may never be. bride, for some of the. *'divinity which. dota hedge kings” doth also hedge one who might nave been a queen. Possil Prince George has become his father's heir, and the duke of Fife is one sten nearer to the goal—a queen’s consort. Mutterings of discontent would have been heard had Prince George’s illness resulted less favor- aply. Fife is not a general Tavorite, nor do the English people look with such favor as the government organs would have the world believe mpon marviages between possiblo rulers aud subjects.

Tho funeral will be of a'military character, with a_procession through London en route to Windsor. The queen 18 reported to be suffering acutely because of her remembrance that for the past five years she opposed the plan of the union of the deveased prince aud Princess Mary of Teck, enly giving her consent a couple of months ago.

Provided that if any export duty is laid upon the above mentioned articles or either of them by the conntry from whuaee imported, all articles embraced in this act imported from said_country shall be subject to duty as now provided by law.” Other Bills Te Will tntroduee, Mr. Bryao bas also introduced throe other ils making the following provisions, re spectively : That binding twine for binding gran wade in whole or in_part from jute, hemp, sunt, manilla, sisal or any textile grasses or “fiber. vegetable substances, when imported from other countries shall be exemnt from all customs duties. “That aftor the cnd of the present fiscal year barbed wive of ail kinds and iton rods for fencing shall bs admitted freo of duty at all ports of the United States, “That after October 1, 1502, all sait, fino =od coarse, in bulk or in' bags, sacks, boxes or other packages, shuil be aamitted free of duty at all ports of the United States. *“The bill placing lumber on the freo list,” satd Mr, Bryao, ‘'covors the same urticles as placed on the free list by the Mills bill. The legislature of Nebraska nearly tan years ago passed a resolution declaring that the tax _upon lumber cost the peoplo of Neoraska at that time more than £00,000 a year, and demanding that lumber be placed upon the free list. If the burden was that heavy so long ago it must now reach more than $1,000,000 aunually. To take away this oppressive tax is in line with the policy of our party to place the lightest burden upon the articles of necessary use, and lumber is one of the most important arti cles in use amone our people. Asido from tho advautage which free lumoer will be to the people at large, thero is another reason why the tax should be taken off. Our sup- ply of lumber is not inoxhaustivle and a tarift upon lumber has acted ‘as a bounty for the destruction of our own forosts, aud many who have little sympathy with the demand for cheap necossaries will agree that it is a wise policy to preserve our forests for future use and take our immediate supply of lumber from nations that aro willing to furnish it at a lower price than we are." Figuring to Please t v ““The bill placiug binding twine upon the froe list,”” contiuued Mr. Bryan,” 13 intro- duced on behalf of -farmers. ~ We have given raw waterial to maoy of our manufacturers and desire to extend the sume advantage to others, Binding twine is one of the things absolutely necessary to saving farmers’ crops, and us they sell their products at a price regulated 1n the foreizn markets, the tax im- *posed uon the things needed by them in har- vesting their crops is a task which they can- not transfer to anyono else, The senate of last congress amended the McKinley bill so o3 to place binding twine upon the free list and every democratic senator volig, excent one, favored it, while a wajority of ropub- licans opposed it. When the bill went to conference a tax of seven-tenths of 1 cent was left, 1t was asserted bv one of the sena- tors from Nobraska, at the dictation of the binding twine trust. I believe that the cheap ening of this product®is au advantage to which the farmers are entitled. The same may-be said of the bill placiug harbed ire and iton rouls, used fot fencing, upon the free list. “Throughout the west, and especially in the states where lumber is- scarce, barbed wire for fencing is ulmost universally used, and we believe it only justthat an article so much needed shall be relioved from tax. The tariff on sult, which is removed by the other bill, is a burden to some extont, and a sult tax has always been odious. He Mups Out Democracy's Course “While these bilis nave not been formally considered by the cominittée there has boei s0 general an expression in favor of these moasures by the democratic committees ger- erally that T have no doubt of their passage through the house, and think it probabie thoy will also pass the senate, A number of other featuras of the present Jaw will doubt- less bo attacked. Cotton tios and cotton bagging will receive attention, as will also conl, iron ore, kerosene and A number of other things. Thero is little doubt, I think, that Mr. Sprioger's bill putting’ wool ou tho freo list aud taking off the specific duties from woolen manufactures will receivo favor- aole consideration. Tue plan of separate attack seems to be favored over that ol a genoral pill, for the reason that there is a possibility that a number of reductions, shull bo made in the present law. We could simply make a record, and the gonuin reiiof bronght will bo more appreciated by the people than a mere futile attempt-at relief for the purpose of showing our good will.” ar: WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTE Its Democratic Me: ers Informally Dis- cuss Tarllt' Revision, Wasuixoros, D.
