At 8 meeting of the executive committee of the Real Estate Owners association yester- day afternoon the question of securing the location of Doane college for this city was discussed. The college is to be removed from Crete because that town is too small and there are insufficient accommodations. President Boggs stated that Omaha could secure the institution if the citizens exer- cised any energy in the matter. A letter from the secretary of the Ne- braska binding twine factory at Fremont was read, showring tho Aumber of factories in the country, Congressman Bryan’s binder twine bill then came in for attention, and the association declared strongly in favor of Nebraska industries. Messrs. Boggs, T'ay- lor, Cathers and Dumont were appointed a committee to look 1nto the matter and see what was needed to encourage the growth of homp in this state, the location of numerous small factories and the establishment here of a big cordage plant to utilizo the product. The committee on manufactures asked for more timo to look up the tarbark question. Mr. Benson said that the Davidge company, the largest tanniug concern in the country had looked into tho feasibility ol establishin a plant in Omaha and had declared agamst it because of tho difficulty of obtainng tan- bark, Tt was stated that several such con- cerns were willing to come here 1f tanbark could be secured. A. F. Fullriede addressed the meeting on behalf of the farmers in the intorestofa sugar beet factory. He said that a respon- sible company was ready to take all the beets raisod this year and guarantee the eroction of a factory next year if a certain acreage of beets could be guaranteed by the farmers. He thought that this was the proper solution of the question 8s to what should be done with outlying city property, and wanted a meeting of the owners of acreage property called to discuss the matter, Messrs, Cath- ers, Balcombe aud Boggs were appointod a committee to arrange for such a meeting.

INTERESTS OF THE STATE UNGUARDED No Arrangements Made to Refund the Money A by Nebraska During the Recent Indian Campaign. tho Federal Government x- pend Lixcory, Neb,, Feb, ~[Special to Tue Bre.] ~Today Adjutant Genoral Vifquain sent the following communication to the gov- ernor: STATE o NENRASKA, ADJ OFFICE, LixcoLy, Nob,, Fob, E. Boyd, Governor of Nebraska: Sir—In compliance with your instructions I.am enavled, after a careful oxamination of the financial coudition of this department, to re- port as follows : Indian Campaign-—The legislature appro- priated for the expenses incurred during the campaign of 156 and 1801 the sum of 47,200, which amount, by the records of this oftice, has been fully paid out. Up to the bth duy of May, 1801, the day I relinquished the oftice to the' Thayer administration, 1 had disbursed some §12,000, aad had good reasons to hope that tue amount appropriated wouid be largely sufficient. The remainder was all paid by my successor. [very bill eent to this offico on account of the Indian campaign was submitted oy me to the Mili- tary board in accordance with law. This board made soveral timely reductions, and some bills woro altogether rejected. This mouey is to bo reimbursed to the state by the fedoral government, and steps should have been taken vy the Thayer administration to secure the return ot that sum; but as I find all the siiginal vouchers still in this oftice, I must come to the conclusion that no steps at all have been taken to secure from the gov- ernment al Washington the money that has been expended by the state. This delay, or neglect, may bo fatal, so far as securing the money at this session of congress, and 1 re- spectlully ask of yourexcelloncy instructions in the premises, Support of the Militia—The logislature also appropriated £25,000 for the support of the militia daring the years 1801 and 1842, was not much, but enough if carefully haundled. It was not handled that wa to May 5 1801, tho day on whic linquished the office of adjutant general, I had not touched one cent ot this mouney, and the fund was turned over intact to the Tbayer administration. During the nine mounths that it lasted the whole amount has been nearly expended, thus loaving to your administration for the yoar 1302 virtially nothing in thoe treasury. 1t was not only my ntention, but it was my duty, to expend just one-half ' the amount approprinted, du ing the year 1801, and tho other half during 18 The administr: tion of General Tha m ol violation of the law aud its intents, expended in niue months what the iegislaturo said should be expeuded in twenty-four months. Of course it was a mistake on the part of General Thayer to selest fortne encampment of the Nebraska National Guards the time and place where the Grand Arvmy of the Re- public of this state met in reunion. The reasons why that time and' place were se- lected, as well as the reasons why they should not have are anparent and nced not bo In short, my predecessor has drawn from the treasurv the sum of $23,478.76, thus leaving $1,521.24 to the credit of the militia fund. He has moreover handed over to me a check tor $2,813.59, money in bauk, making o total of $1,335. when in reality there should reinain to the credit of the Nebraska National Guards the sum of $12,500 for the year 1802, The mouey arawn from this fund was on six different vouchers, to wit: Voucher No. 705:0 for 31,741 5 For nrmory rent For various biils piz03 0 So far as the armory reut portion of tha voucher is concerned, there is not one soli- tary. receipt attached to establisi the fact: So far as the second itom--various bills concerned, several bills ara submit gating §202.03. Somo of these are r others are not. One of theso bills to tho amountof $27 is for blank cariridzes used at a celebration at McCook, for which there was not the least provision of la Voucher 68,410 is for 312, for pay- rolls and commutation of rations at Canip Snerman, Grand Istand, No pay-rolls aro attached to this voucher, but I have found them in the office. Strange to say, not ono of theso pay-rolls are signed either by Ge eral Thayer or (ieneral Coie, as provided by section 35, of chapter 5, of the statutos. Not only this, but a careful cowpilation of all the amounts paid under this voucher, gives a grand totel of $11 4, whilst tho voucher 5 leaving the sum of §1,17; gether unaccounted for. Voucher No. 63,4)9 for $222.45, is forsupport of the Nebras National guard as per bills attached. As in voucher No. 70,53, some of these bills are receipted and 8 aro not, A State Journal bilt for § is not receintod. Among the bills is ono for > reading as foilows: UMBL TANT (GENERAL'S —~Hon.

Voucher 68,417, for #100, for freight, cart- age, cte., at Camp Sherman, but not a single paver, bill, receipt or anything attached to establish the correct amount of the indebted ness norits payment. And this is tho h tory of the six vouchers as related on tneir section 20 of the chapter on militis “That the military board shall audi all claims and accounts of a militar ter against the state, and no contract on bo- half of this state shall be vahd as n, the state uotil the same shall be approved by the pourd.’ In direct violation, theso bills were paid rogardless of statites or anything clse, Deticioucy I"und—The legislature further appropriated 5,000 to pay the arrears duo the militia previous to the ist of January, 1501, and wy estimaion this sbhould have proved largaly sufticient. Ounly one voucher was drawn fund, to-wit: Voucher No. 0, for support of tho Nobrusks Natioval suards out of tho def- cienoy fund. Muny bills bave been paid out of this fund that were not urrears at all, and consequently 1ia direct violation of law; moreover, Lhey were not pussed upon by tho military board. There being no receipts or anything else attached to this voucher, I have the records alone to judge from. Thir- teen hundred dollars bive been paia vut to this and that man for things which, if they were due at all, became duo after the 1st of January, 15891, 4na one of the bills paid had been rejected by the Mili- tary Board in Feoruary, 15%1. One of the bills paid is notoriously out of place, aud amounts to § it was paid to one S. D, ilds & Co. in payment for the commemor- ative medals given to the No braska Na- tional guards on account of tha Iudian cam- pay T'o charge this amount against any fund for the support of the militia is virtually to make every member of the Nobraska Na- tionul guards pay for bis medal. It 15 not only in violation of all law—siuce the legis- lature made no provision for the contingenc —but it 1s also iu violaton of those proprie- ties which forbid to make a wan pay for a favor of recog nition like this.
