sagEm s ’ ‘The work of inspeotion was then e T BADTY e e e e VERY SEVERELY CONDEMNED Poouliar Exchange of Bank Securities at Kearney Given an Airing, . JOWN AND BAKND GIVEN A SCORING Waluable Stock of the Mutanl Loan and In. vestment Company Traded for Worth- Commereial and Savings Bank Securities Laxcors, Jume 19, —[Spocial Telegram’ to Tie Bee.)—In its opinion in the case of the state against the Commercial and Savings bank of Kearney, written by Commissioner Ryan, the supreme court induiges in somo pretiy severe t s of condemnation, “After sotting up the & glery, by which 8. 8, St. John, president, and John Barnd, cashier, traded away the valuable stock of the Mutual Loan and In- vestment company for stock in the bank, then known to be worthless, so that St Johin might retire from the bank with the ble stock on the very day of the bank’s failure, the commissioner says: “As developed by subsequent events the bank was at that time hopelessly insolvent. 1ts stock had no value whatever.” A tabulated statement is attached, show- fng that the loan and investment company and St. John, its secrotary, received from the trade in money and st 827,450, whilo the Commercial and Savings bank and John Barnd received in oxchange thorefore #2000 cash, the amount of a #5000 note nssumed by the investment company Aand St. John, and 200 shares of worthiess bank stock, a total of §7,000. Upon the 5,000 note the Investment company Was already a uarantor, and it was well known to St ohn and the investment company that neither Barnd nor the bank would be able to pay it, 8o that the investment company as- sumod no new liability when it agreed to pay it, Wherefore the court figures out that while St. John and his company re- ceived £27,450 1o trade the bankreceived virtually only £2,005, a clear balance in favor of the luvestment company of $25,450. Denounced in Strong Term Continuing the decision “'As there was found in this bank but £0.70 in cash ac- cording to the evidence of John Barnd, its partner as party of the first part in the above transaction, it would scem that the bank got nothing out of this deal, which, with something of grim irony, its resident and cashier call an exchange. When, In considering this ‘exchange, {t is' remembored that the Commercial and Savings bank was represented by its cashier, whoso judwment was impaired by an insane delusion, and by a president whos intorosts were that the opposite party, whose controlling officer ho then was, should rofit at the bank’s expense, there is noth- Elg marvelous in _the result. On behalf of tho secrotary of the Mutual Loan and Invest- ment company. who held the office of presi- dent of the insolvent bank, until its utter ruin and the robbery of its patrons was an accomplished fact. nothing in extenuation ¢an be urged. *When he tandered his resignation as presi- dent of the bank at the meeting of the di- roctors held at § o'clock in the forenoon of Monday, February 1, 1842, he was awaro that the bank was insolvent, rendered hope- lessly 8o by his own betrayul of his trust. Tt I8 now urged on his belialf that there can be no order made in respect to the stocle of the defunct bank, held by the sons and brothers of this perfidious vresident, becauso they are not made parties to this proceed - ing. Under the facts in this case it is hoped that no necessity will exist for making these relatives such parties. The misconduct of vlvester S, St. John as president of the Commercial and Savings bank in becoming a party to the misappropriation of the assets of that bank, subjected him to a personal liability for the full value of those assets to the bank’s creditors. It cannot be too strongly or too_frequently impressed upon the minds bf oMcers and managers of banks ana other corporations that they are but agents, and as such they must loyally serve their principals. Banks are necessary concomitants of civilization; to them aro entrusted the earnings of honest toil, the accumulations of intelligent enterprise; the trust funds of charity, orphanage and help- less old age, und as_managers of such insti- tutions bank presidents und cashiers and directors cannot be too strongly impressed with the responsibility of their official posi- tions. As to this trust relation, the law will esnecially tolerate no violation of the eighth commandment.” Following the above scathing denunciation of the bank’s officers is the order upon St. Joho and the investment company to pay into the hands of tho receiver bofore July 6 the amount of §27,600, of which they had robbed the broken banic. Lincoln’s Mayoraity Contest. There was a large crowd present at the county court room this morning to hesr the decision of Judge Lansing on the advisabil- ity of the ballots as evidence, upon which the fate of the contest depended. The court, in effedt, said: “Iam froo to say that though considerable time has been consumed and much has been snid on the objection to the introduction of the ballots in this case, my migd is far from clear as to the proper ruling. As Iunder- stand the law, and I think it is plam, a reasonable probability that the ballots have been tampered with not only, as has been stated by counsel, affects their credibility, but actually destroys their admissibility as evidenco, But the full recognition of this principlo does not remove the difficulty, for the question of fact, and & very vexatious one, still remains. Is there or has there been shown by the evidence adduced a reasonable probability that the integrity -of the ballots cast has been de- stroyed. 1 have called the question vexa- tlous; it is so intrinsically, and in this case 1t has been made doubly 30 by outcroppings of B::(lk‘ll and personal acrimony which are unbecoming a court of justice, and which have been of ly paraded in the court roow, the echoes of which have come to the ears of the court in tho highways and by- ways of the city. Professional ethics and the duty of counsel to client, require that counsel do his utinost to present the elements of equity and ;usm'u n his client's cause to she court intelligently, and that he make the path of the court as oasy and smooth as pos- Siblo; and counsel who violate these prin- wiples not only forfeit the regard of the court and vheir colleagues, but seriously endanger the interests of their clients, Will Inspeot Thom ¥ “‘Inasmuch as the integrity of the ballots has been sought to be impugned and it has beon shown that an opportunity existed for tampering with them, and also circum- stances have been proved tending to show ‘probubility that the ballots have been tam- red with, but not in the mind of the court establishing the same free from doubt; I shall resort to Mr. Hamilton's proposed in- spoction of the bailots, and huve concluded to allow the admission of the ballots, books and tally an evidence 1 tls case for tion subject, however, of ncompetency.

County Rosd Improvement Blocked for the Yresent. Indications are that the three county roads, for the improvement of which bonds in the sum of $150,000 were voted last June, will not be paved this year, as Hayes & Sons of Clevelsud, O., the parties who purchased the paper, have kicked over the traces and have said that they would not take the paper. Some weeks ago when cthe bids for the bonds were opened, these Ohlo gentlemen were found to be the highest and best bid- ders for the bonds, they agreocing to pay par and a small premium, At that time the commissioners accepted their bid and re- jected all of the others. The clerk wrote the Cleveland parties that their bid was accepted and at once they sent a 85,000 check upon their own bank, @8 a guaranty that they would comply with the terms of the contract with the county. After that they sent & man here to look up the condi- tion of the county and the law authorizing the voting of the bouds. He reported to tha commissioners that erything was satis- factory, and supposing that the money would be on hand when needed, the board” adver- tisod for bids for the paving aud awarded the contracts. Now it turns out that Hayes & Sons do not propose to take the paper, they having written that the bonds are not legal and they cannot use them. They claim that when the bonds were voted that the election was held n eighty- eight precincts in the city of Omaha, and that there was no law authorizing the croa- tion of that numbor of voting precingts. ‘The commissioners huve not decided the point as to whether they will go to law for the purpose of compelling s compliance and before doing so, they will tuke some legal advice regarding the mutter, The #.000 forfeit which they beld they do not cousider of any particular value, as they are of the opiuion that if the firm would refuse to tuke the bonds it would refuse to honor its check guaranteeing that it would accept and pay for them. —— Piles of peoplo have pues, bur Da Witt's Witch Hazel Salve will cure inem. e Causes No Alarm, TERRE HAUTE, Ind., June 10.—The assignment, of the Vigor Real Hstate and the Forest Park and Mineral Springs company, the latter a part of the former concern, do not cause alarm in the business community, The Vigor Ieal Estate reports assots $130,000 and the liabilities %77,000, The Park com- pany borrowed $5,000 from the real es- te company, and the pressing need of this amount caused the assignment. SWEDEN'S BELOVED BISHOP Omaha Lutherans Honorad with a Visit from Von Rcheele, ABLE ADDRESS IN THE MOTHER TONGUE Welcomed to the Gate Clty—Serenaded by the Cholr—Greeted with a Large Cone gregntion In the Evening— What He Satd. The first Swedish or Lutheran bishop who ever visitel America arrived in Omaha yestorday in the distinguished person of Rt. Rev. Knut Henning Gezelius von Scheele, Ph.D., D.D,, member and commander of the Royal North Star Order, and one of the twelve bishops of Sweden. America has no episcopate of her own in the Swedish Lutheran church, and Bishop Von Scheele is over here participating in the excrcises commemoratve of thesthird centen- nial of Swedish Lutheranism, which dates back to the council of Upsala in 1593, al- though Sweden had adopted the reforma- tion as early as 1527. The bishop is visiting the larger cities of the country, and has been on American soil since early in May. He is 55 yoars of age, but is seemingly as vigorous as most mon at 40, and his white beard scems somewhat out of place in connection with the tall, athlotic frame and the step and movements are quick almost to nervousness. The bishop was quite fatigued by his journey, but kindly consented to see a repro- sentative of Tur Bee, who called at the resi- dence of Rev. A. G. Freden, pastor of the Swedish Lutheran church at Nineteenth and Cass, whose guest he 1s during his stay in the city. Although very much ot a lin- uist, the bishop speaks English very imper- ectly, but gracefully uses the few phrases of American mpther-tongue that he has mastered. As fiay bo supposed his trip has thus far been very much of a revelation to him, and it is _apparent from a moment's conversation with him that he has made the utmost of his powers of observation since landing on this side of the ocoan. His eye- sight is defective, as for six years of his youth he was totally blind, but for the past twenty-five yoars he has been gradually re- covering his sight and now 1s able to use his cyes quite freely, but is unable to use notos in his sermons or addresses, and from constant extemporancous speaking has ac- quired the habit of rapid talking. For thirty years prior to his advancemeat to the ep! 'y, he was at the head of the great University of Upsala, 1in Swedon, and as a theologian and author is known not only in Sweden, but Germany ana England as well, much of his writings having been translated into botl of those languages. Ho spoke last might in Swedish at the Swedish Lutheran church, and leaves today for Portiand, Ore., whence he goes to Tacoma and San Francisco. On his re- turn trip ho will stop at Salt Lake, Denver and Chicago, and will then go to Virginia, where he will visit for a week with rela- tives, sailing from New York July 22 on the Kaiser Wilhelm. Among the Lutheran clergymen who came to meet the bishopare Rev.L.G. Abra- hamson and wife, Chicago, president of the Iliinois conference; Rev. Caswens: son of Lindsbers, Kan, president of Bethony college; Roy. C. G, Widen, Moad, Neb.; Rev. J. Torell, Swedosburg, Neb. ; Rev. ¥. N. Swanborg, Oakland, Neb., president of the Nebraska confercnce; Rev. C. J. Backman, P ortland, Ore.; Rev. A. Douren, Baylytown, Ind.; Rev. C. Granere, St. Edwards, Neb. ; Rev. C. J. Ekholm, Wahoo, Neb., professor at Luttic academy. Blshop Von Scheeles’ Address. At the Swedish Lutheran church at Nine- teenth and Cass streets last evening, Bishop von Schecles delivered an able address. He spoke on the subject of “How We Shall be People Accepted of the Lord.” Hisaddress, in part, was as follows: “This requires a life of love. Lifo is the of all. Death is terrible, more ter- than any one thinks, that is i we must die without the eternal life in Christ. - By nature we aro under the worla and the flesh. Yet our innermost souls are related to God; and by Christ's redemption we belong by right to God. Then we must in this lifo of love be in a continual warfare against sin and corruption. The life of love is next a erowth, a power. a great something that exists, develops and rules. Oh, that we all might grow in the knowleage of this unseen life, the warfare against evil and the con- tinued development of the inner man from the two great principles id the life of love, “In the second place we are to become the accepted people of God through the assur- ance of faith that we are the sons of God, The world is full of tear for God, the fear of the slave, not of the child. Even the Greeks felt this fear in their day. But God has fur- nished us a means to overcome this fear. This is done when we recognize in God our fathor. How simple, you say. How grand and sublime, Isay. A great wonder that God 1s our father in creation, yet more in redomption and sanctification. The assur- ance is two fold. First, a crying out of the depths of the soul in times of need and trou- ble, changing into a full and believing abba Abba Fath oh, God, Thou art my Father, indeed. And how this father loves dearly this crying, believing, longing child. The other part is the witness or testimony of the Spirit in our souls. This is done first in ba{)- tism, then through the holy word of God, his minidters and servants, and in the Holy Sacramen of the Lord’s Supper. By receiv- ing these weans in faith we receive assur- ance of the blessed fact that we ave the chil- dren of God. “Tha third is the hope of the Christlan, A great hope indeed. On earth everything is incomplete, importect, insuiicient. = If we had not this blessed hope we would sgon be done for. Here we must believe against what we see, but then our great safeguard, the lm%e, tells us that all this will change and by, Perfection, completion, a wonderful sufficiency awalt us. con- dition, however, we must suffer with Him here below. Noone forms an exception. Continued ‘uninterrupted luck and growth make the Christian full of fear and lp{xru- hension, but in -the trouble itself he rejoices in hope., Blessed hope, blessed possibility of s0 taking everything in life. “Those that suffer shall afterward reign with Christ. This fact will make us strong in times of suffering and trouble. A great future awaits every believer. All nature sighs for the great vevelation of the glory of God’s people. And that glory shail most certainly come 1n the new world which God shall yet give unto us. In that new world righteousness shall reign supreme. If you, my hearer, desire to hasten this happy day, love and do righteousness. Here the speaker referred to a very beautiful, well known Swedish poem, which we cannot give in translation.” The choir rendered another anthem and then Rev. C. A. Swensson of Bethany college spoke briefly in Knglish, explainiog the his- torical connections leading to the jubilee. He then spoke of the chief characteristics of the Lutheran church; the educational, veloping idea of the Lutherans, Then ju fication by faith and an absolute belief in the word of God as being of divine origin were touched upon. Rev. Abrabhamson - tollowed in a few concluding remarks. The benedic- tion was pronounced by the bishop iu the English language. At the conclusion of the address the bishop was sercnaded by the Swedish Lutheran choir at the parsonage. e AMUSEMENTS, Andrews Opera company in Dorothy will close the season at the Farnam Street thea- ter next Sunday evening and a large house is anticipated. —————— Commencomont at Deaf Institute, At 2 o'clock this afternoon the Nebraska School for the Deaf will give its annual com- mencement.

Doneeker 18 Weary, A. H. Donecker, the contractor for the brick work on the new Center school, asked the board to lot him give up the job. He presented the rather flimsy excuso that he had not been furnished with stakes and measurements for the building as per con- tract, and as the season \was_ 80 far advanced and still no Immediate rospect of being able to got to work © wantod to give It up. As & matter of fact it was stated that Mr. Doneécker has more work on hand than he can do and the board thought that it would be best to let him out. There has been a good deal of delay in con- nection with vhe Center school on account of the faflure of the board toget thelots graded. Miss S. R. Davis, one of the teachers in the High school, presented her resignation. Rendy for Final Taspection. The Fuller & Warren company notified the board that the heating and ventilating plant of the Lothrop school was completed and rondy for final inspection. Bullding Inspéctor Tillay called the avten- tion of the board to the fact that all smoke stacks emitting denss volumes of smoke had become & nuisance in the eyes of municipal law, ac- cording to ordinance 3,530, and that it would becomo necessary for the board to seo that all such chimneys or smoke stacks connected with the school buildings were provided with smoke consumers.’ Referred to committee on buildings and proporty.

Along list of bills for, ourren: expenses was presented by the committee on claims and passed by the boara. A question arose in which 'the city treas- urer and tho board 18 Ifkely’to lock horns. Several months ago thé city council sent & communication to the bbard stating that in as much as the council had reduced the license for expressmen from $10 to 85 per annum & few weeks after che first of the year and after a number of the expressmen had paid 810 for their license the council had passed a resolution calling upon the board to authorize the city treasurer to refund to all expressmen,who had paid $10, one-half of the amount they had paid,‘dnd to take the mouey needed for this - purpose: out of the funds afterward collected from the same source. The Board of Education refused to do this, and the report of the committee on Jjudiciaty, ~hich was read last night, held that the board had no right to refund the monay. In the meantime the city treasurer refunded the money, however, without wait- ing for instructions from the board. e report of the judiciary committes made it appear that the city treasurer had takon an illegal step in paying out this money without authority. ‘A'he report was adopted.

On resolution introduced by Mr. Burgess the superintendent of buildings was in- structed to make a careful examination of all the school buildings and grounds during the month of July in order to see if tho jani- tors were doing their dutv and toa like in- spection during the month of August.

Morris Morrison opposed the resolution with great vigor. Mr, Burgess, Mr. Knodell and othors supported the resolution earn- ostly. - Mr, Burgess sald that 1v was very evident that the Board of Education woula have to lock horns sooner or later with the Board of Health on the question of heating and ventilating plants ‘and the contest mignt just as well come mnow as a later date. rle held that some of the most. satisfactory school buildings of the city from o sanitary point of view were heated and ventilated by the Smead system. The Llifron Hill school was one of the most per- feot in the city, and that was supplied with the Smead system, The resolution failed to pass, however, and it was followed by a resolution intro- duced by Mr. Pearson to reject all the bids for these contracts and readvertisd. Mr. Pearson’s resolution was heartily sup- rted by Mr. Smyth and was :rpmed by m. Gibson ard Mr. Burgess. r. Gibson held that it was only a waste of time to re- advertise.

After thinking about what he saw, the following is his estimate and what he thinks of it. Said he: “Yes, T have been to the fair. T have seen it thoroughly. The first thing that struck me forcibly was, and naturally, the excellent transportation facility I watched how 178000 got dow to the fair. T watched how they were brought back again to the city. It far surpassed what I thought could possibly be accomvlished when 1 was hers at the dedicatory exercises last October. The service by the Illinois Central leaves little to be desired. Tt is really wonder- ful. Now, when this is supplemented by the elevatod railway, the cable com- panies and the steamboat lines, it is more than equal to the present demands and capable of expansion to meot any possible emergoncy. ''The stories of extortion are like everything eélse affecting Chicago— greatly exaggerated. I think that peo- ple can secure about what they want for & reasonabla price in Chicago. I find the restaurants on the grounds good and not extortionately high. People cannot expect a parlor, a bedroom and a bath- room on the first floor of a hotel, with full course of meals, at prices which pro- vail in boarding houses and $l-a-day hotels, any_more in Chicago than they do in New York city. 3 A Sight of & Ticotime, “The fair itself is so vast, compre- hensive and beantiful that it eliminates comparison with other expositions ever held in the world in estimating its ex- tent or its value. In other words, to use a very comprehehsive American phras when compared with this fair, the other world's expositions are ‘not in it.' If one will come into the grounds from the lake, through that marvelous entrance which seems to revive to a college grad- uate what he imagined the entrance to some of the ancient cities might have been, sail into the lagoonon a gondola, he will get some impression of the vastness of archi- tectural beauty and completeness of this preparation, which is impossible to de- soribe. Superlatives are unequal to the ocoasion. Then you must add to that the thirty buildingsof the various states of the union, which in size and appoint- ments surpass the buildings of the differ- ont nations at the Paris exposition, It's n World Benter. “The illumination at night: It was worth a visit even were there nothing else to see. It was simply enchanting. Why the sight of it would make a poet out of a baggage smasher. I have seen the illumination of the Grand canal of Venice and repeatedly of the exposition of Paris. But the vastness of the White City and its possibilities for effoct made those nights, wonderful as they secmed at the time, like a candle to an arc light. An American citizen can have all the incentives to national pride which could be desired in noting alone the advancement of elec- tricity and its appliances. In machinery hall he can see our inventions, their uses and their usefulness; in the agricul- ture building, the superiority of our farm products; in the mining building, our boundless wealth; in the transporta- tion building he can see that we are really a generation in advance of the older nations of the world in everything pertaining to transportation. “‘This exposition is 10,000 university extensions and Chautauquas concen- trated in its educational advantages. No man or woman can visit it, go into it, stay in it and stay with it without becoming bigger and broader for the rest of his or her life. Its effects will be seen through our artisans and mer- chants, our farmers and our agriculture, through our artists in their sphere and through our educators in our schools. It is at once a kindergarten, a common school, a technological and manual training school and a university. WIIL Help Out the Panle, “We are in a financial flurry at present, growing out of a lack of confi- dence, that same lack of confidenco boing solely due to an uncertainty about our currency. The prosperity of the country, the general favorable condi- tions of our business, the conservative manner in which our enterprises are at present situated, make impossible a eep-seated or long-continued distress or a disastrous panic. The government seems helpless in the way of suggestions or remedies. But this Vzurld‘u fair is to be the most potent agency in restoring confidence and prospertty. There will be in Chicago during the next four months about 200,000 people daily. Each Jperson will spend no less than 8. The average will exceed this sum. This represents expenses here unl{. To this must be added ex- penses of preparation and money spent for transportation. This will bring ont of hiding places in old stockings and safety deposit vaults vast sums, which will be put into active circulation. So far only people within a radius of soveral hundred miles have visited Chicago in any considerable number. Those from a distance have been almost altogether passengers on the limited trains. But as the knowledge of what is here and the apprehension of what the misfortune would be to miss the fair goes through the ecuntry there will pe a movement toward Chicago unprecedented in our history. Everybody who can beg, borrow or steal enough to get here and get back home again will here.

YaNkToN, S, D., July 19.—[Special Tele- gram to Tur Ber]—Yankton colloge, a Congregational institution located in this city has succeeded in raising 875,000, thereby socuring tho first installment of the gift of Dr. D. K. Pearsons, the Chicago philanthro- pist who offercd a year ago to endow Yank- ton college in the sum of $30,000 provided donations amounting to $150,000 were raised, He subsequently modified the condition of his endowment however, and said that if 75,000 was raised he would deliver one-half of his gift, 325,000, leaving the remaining £75,000 for future efforts and offering to give $1 for every three raised by the friends of the college. Dr. Pearson's &25,000 will be expended in the construction of the hill of seiences, fsr which ground will be broken Wednesday.
