Mr, Akin's arrest wasa surprise in Ne- braska., He was arrested by the sheriff of El Paso county, Texas, on the strength of a telegram sent lum bv County Attornoy Murphy of Holt county. At the same tune the Holt county authorities came to Lincoln and secured requisition papers for Akin's return. Akin hus remained in jail despite the friendly efforts of Treasurer Bartley to sccure bonds for him. The requisition papers have not yet ched El Paso. and Governor Crounsé, feeling that it was rank injustice to keep u mai in jail when he was willing aud anxious to return to Nebraska and face the charges against him, concluded lust night to end the matter oy ordering the sherift of El Paso cou bring his prisoner without the formality of u requisition. Criticised Troasurer Bartley, State Treasurcr Bartley has been soverely criticised for his attempts to secure bonds for Mr. Akin, and it had been assected that he was willing to enable Ak to escapo. Tue BEe revresentative pointed out to the state treasurer toduy several caustic arti- cles from state papers in which it was hinted that he had ulterior motives in befriending Akin, In reply Mr. Bartley asserted that he was ready and willing at all times to give his full rea- sous for everything that he has done for Mr. Akin; that he simply did for Mr. Akin what he would do for any friend of his, He believes that Akin is the victim of a wmisun- derstandiog at least, and has attempted to secure bonds for him just as he would for any other frieud in the same situation, In order that his course in the matter may be thoroughly understood Mr. Bartley sub- mits bis entive correspondence with: Akin since that gentloman went to Mexico to en- deavor to induce Barrett Scott Lo return to Nebraska.

Rev. Mr. Buss then read an original poem ou *The Flag' that was ex- ceedingly good. The Giee club rendered the * Star Spangled Bauner” in a pleasing way.

FAIRFIELD, Neb., Oct. 8.— [Special to Tir Bee.)—The people of Spring Ranche and vicinity are greatly disturbed over the dis- appearance of A. J. Orendorfl, postmaster, township treasurer and dealer in general merchandise at that place. It seems that Mr. Orendorff has been negligent for some time about sending in his reports to the Postoffico department, so much so that a special postofice inspector was sent to Spring Ranche to investigace the matter. Mr. Orendorff came to Fairfield on Thursday last to meet the 1mspector and re- ceive instructions in regard to making out the reports. Iustead of returning to his home at Spring Runche he went to Hastings aud has not since been heard of. Rumors are rife of shortage in postoMce and town- ship accounts, but the more general opinion is that Mr. Orendorfl was unnccessaril, frightened by the scoring given him by the inspector on account of his neglect in the matter of the reports and lost nis mental balance, County Mortgage Kecor Nesrasga Crry, Oct. 3.—[Special to Tur Ber.]—The following is Otoe county’s mortgage record for September: Filed on county property, $32,477.75; reloased, $20, 404.79.

Tho county commissioners held the regu- lar weekly meeting yesterday afternoon, and before adjournment they took the ininiatory step in the direction of the county of Doug- las aiding in the proposed construction of the Platte rivercanal. 1t came up by Chair- man Stenberg offering a resolution instruct- ing the board to secure the services of County Surveyor Smith and City Engineer Rosewater and have them examine the plans and profiles submitted by Engineer Howell of the canal company, measure tie votume of water in the Platte and Elkhora rivers, study the topography of the country through which it proposed to locate the caaal, and veport, separately, their findings to the bourd. Henry Livesey at once moved the adoption of the resolution, which was vigorously seconded by C. L. Van Camp, J. W. Paddock said that he had a substi- tute which was moro to the point. He sai that he was strongly in favor of the exami- nation and the measurements provided for by the resolution of Mr. Stenberg, as before taking hoid of vhe scheme the peoplo of the county should know 1o & certainty if the waters of the two rivers could be depended upon duriug the whole year. AU this time the w wus very low sud this, in his opinion, was the proper time to make the investigation. Mr, Stenberg’s resolution, the gentleman from the banks of the Little Fappio said, placed the whole of tie responsibility upon the shoulders of City Engincor Roscwater, He had known Mr. Rosewater from boyhood and knew him to be s gen tloman and engineer of abiiity and had supported him as agaiust democrats, but he was a local man and allied to local interest. The selection of un outside engir who was free frow local prejudice, Mr. Paddock thought would be more satistactory to the community at large, as it would mean . having the report of o wan who could 1u no avise bo intorested. As such 4 man Mr. Paddock sajd thut he would namo V. G. Bogue. who for a number of s was the chief engineer of the Union cific vailroad and who'at this time was the consultiug engiueer for the World's Fair assoclation. Mr. Bogue was now in tho city and bis services could be secured. Recolved with Distavor. There was no second to Mr. Paddock's motion Lo substitute the nawme of Mr. Bogue for that of Mr. Rosewater. Chairman Stenbepg stated that he haa been informed that the plans for the con- struction of the canal had been examined by two of the wost emnent engineers in the country and had been approved. While this might be true, he said that he wanted them examined by men whom he knew, and that there were none more competent to make the examination than Engineer Rosowater sud County Surveyor Smith. They were both skitled gentlemen, who were familiar with the two rivers, the country through which it was proposed to run the ®nal, and would report the coundition as it existed. Mr. Livesey bad kmown Mr. Smith for thirty-eight years; he had known him ever siuce the day when the members of the Claim club tried to dispossess him of his land. With reference to Mr. Rosewater, Mr. Livesey said that be had known him sine he was , and that both of the gentle men were s compelent engineers us could be imported from Chicago or any other city. That settled it,and all of the members voted to employ the two Omaha engineers. When the vote was aunounced, Mr, Paddock said that a member of the board had said to him on the quiet, “Ihave got to stand by Sten- berg, as he 1stand by me when I want something which is coming before the board.” Mr. Van Camp slid into the arena to de- clare that he was the member to whom Mr. Paddock referred. He denied ever having had the conversation with Paddock, but he had a conversation with the member from the banks of the Pappio, when that gentle- man said: “For more than a year I have tried to work harmoniously with you, but could not. Now I will give you another chance on this resolution, ana if you do not stay with me I'll quit you forever, Mr. Paddock was pounding the table and making every preparation to touch off the red f when the chairman ‘“called him down" and entertained a motion to adjourn until next T'uesday afternoon, at which time the report of the engineers is expected to be ready to be acted upon.
