EXTRADITION PA“ERS HAVE BEEN SIGNED Hiis Offense Comes Within the Limits of the Troaty—Warrant Forwarded to Holt County’s Agent—Judge Fost on the Auditor's Powers. LaNcoLs, Neb., Sept. 9.—[Special to Tue Ber.]—Governor Crounse today received an official announcemeént from the Department of State at Washington to tha effect that President Cleveland had signed the extradi- tion papers and warrant for the arrest of Barrett Scott, the defaulting treasurer of Holt county. The governor is further ad- vised that the president’s warrant has been forwarded to the agent of Holt county, who Is now in Mexico, where Scott is in hiding. cott is a defaulter to the extent of about $00,000. He left O'Neill some five or six weaeks ago and was traced to Mexico. A question arose as to whether he could be ox- tradited under the trealy regulations be- tween the United States and Mexico. The treaty provides that an embezzler of pablic funds may be returned to this country, but, that an embezzler of private funds is exempt from arvest. Threo sets of papers were pre- pared in which aMdavits were presented, fully establishing the fact that Scott was an embezzler of funds belonging 1o Holt county. One sct of papers was attached to the appli- cation, anoiher to the estradition papers forwarded to the Mexican government and’ the third to the president’s warrant sent to the agent of Holt county. It is believed that Scott's arrest will be bub & matter of a fow days, as his hiding place in Mexico is well known to the authorities Judge Post 1s & Dissent Justice Post of tho supreme court this afternoon filed a dissenting opinion in the case of the state ex. rel, Garneau against Kugene Maore, auditor of public accounts, It will be remembered that Commissioner General Garneau applied to the suvreme couct for u writ of mandamus to compel Auditor Moore to issue warrants upon esti- mates for World's falr expenses, Tho af ment was heard by the court sitting in chambers and the writ was denied, a memor- andum tor an opinion being filed with the olerk of .the court. Justice Post disscnts from the opinion concurred in by Chief Maxwell and Justico Norval. " In ais- senting Justice Post takes the grounds t of the money to the ¢ neral upon constitutional. He claims that the consti- tution nowhere places such a limitation upon the powerof thoe legislature. He belioves that the provisions of the constitution were intended to restrict the application of money raised by taxation to the purposes for which it is appropriated and not as a limitation upon the discretion of the legislature in selectiog tho agencies through which itls to be expended. He is of the opinion that, while in all ordinary cases the voucher should convince the auditor that the money has been properly and actually ex- pended, the present case is an exception to the rule. The auditor willhave “discharged his whole duty in tho -examination of the claim when ho has ascertained that it is for wmouey, the paywent of which has been ex- vressly orderod by the legislature out of monoey appropriated therefor and for & pur- F‘):: authorized by the constitution.” ther, Justice Post contends thut to hold that the auditor may rofuse to pay the money which the law making power has seen fit to appropriate in the interest of the stato, on the ground that he may hounesily differ with the commissioner as to tho necessity or propriety of the supplies pur- chbasod or character of the assistance em- yed or the compensation allowed there. is to sanction a flagrant usurpation of power by him and the exercise of a discretion f Sion of Prof. Van which is ia express ontrusted to a other.” And again: he power to ad- vance money upon estimates to disbursing officers of the state may be a dangerous power, becauss of its liability to abuse, but that is a question of logislative policy and involves the exorciso of a diseresion whioh the judicial power of the state should not assume to control.” Gossip ut the State House, The Farmers and Merchants Insurance company against Jacob Peterson is the title of a Cuming county case filed with the clerk of the supreme court this afternoon.

President Gibbon of the Commercial club acted in the capacity of chairman of the reception committee and for th hours he stood in the center of the front p: r shaking the hands of the legal entiemen and welcoming them with neat ittle speeches, all of which were origingl. 1udotug this Mr. Gibbon was thie cuvy of | Courtland beach, all the young, as well as the old timers at the bar, though several of the legal disciples assured the worthy president that if thoy had his commund of language and persua- sive eloquence they could win fame and an abundance of doliars, All of the rooms were Wide open to the guests of the clutr, and not ouly this, the most delicious refreshments were served during the evening, while a huge punch bow, filled with tempting liquid was well patronized. Several impromptu speeches filled in the time between musical selections that were rendered by an orchestra stationed in one of the parlors. The intention was to have some of the “‘heavy weight" orators present, but owing to some of them being out of the city, short talks took the place of long speeches. Club receptions in Omana have always been denominated as “'stag" parties, simply because the ladies of the city have been led to the opinion that they were unwelcome guests within the sacred precincts of the club house. Last night they changed their minds upon this subject, however, for they were convinced that a reception at the Com- mercial club wasas orderly us one conducted in the parlors of a private house. The wives and sweothearts of the lawyers turned out o the number of fully 200 and enjoyed them- selves as heartily as did their masculine escorts, and at the end they voted that if they could have their way the men would all join the club, e Last balloon ascensions and parschute jumps today at Conrtland beach. e NEW POSTAL BILL.

PROSPEROUS COLFAX COUNTY Good Showing of Speed Horses and Agri- cultural Products, TRADE DISPLAYS WERE UNUSUALLY FINE Falr Just Clo ed Strong Evidence of the County' rosperity, but Art Departe ment Wns Spocially Congpleu- ©ous by Its Nakedness. SenvyLen, Nob., Sept. 9.—[Spocial to Tira Bee.]—The fourteenth annual fair of the Colfax County Agricultural socioty is just over. It was a success financially and far short of failure otherwise, though there was a very noticeablo absence of interest in some departmonts.

Dice games woro most numerous, and one in particular was to be condemned because of tho unfuirness of its clever operator, who, by the aid of his “cappers,” got from 50 cents to 88 out of each “vietim" by piinly dotectable orro. neous counting of dice spots. Though the so. ciety profits handsomoly by granting concas. sions to gamblors, it is feared that the prac. teo will tend more and more to injure. the fair, and v 18 well known thit many of ity patrons wish that eittier they or the game blers had not been thore, - L Mot nforence Ended.
