STATE PRINTING AWARDED Bids for the Work Cpened by the Board and Bettled. DIVIDED AMING MANY COMPETITORS Artanged Very Much to the Satistaction of AN the Conflicting Interests Involved ~Lincoln Mall Carrier Mysteri= ously Missing. LINCOLN, Deec. 11.—(Special.)—The State Printing Board met today in regular session at the office of the secretary of state. Bids for the state printing for the ensuing year were opened and contracts allowed to the successful bidders. Aside from class A, legislative printing, which was awarded to Jacob North & Co, the State Journal company carried off a large majority of the different contracts. The following were secured by the Journal company: Printing for tha secretary of ate, $3.45 per follo for 1,000 coples; state treasurer, $3.65 per 1,000; commissioner pub- lc lands an' bulldings, $2.25 per 1,000; Bureau of Labor, $1.95 per 1,000; State Board of Transportation, $2.25 per 1,000; Ne- braska Fish commission, $1.85 per 1,000; superintendent public instruction, $2.05 per 500; adjutant general, 0 per 500; State Board of Horticulture, $2.10 per 5,000. The Nebraska Newspaper Union secured the following: Attorney general, $1.85 per 500; auditor of public accounts, $3.15 per 1,000, and roster of soldiers and sallors, $3.05 per 2,000. Class 1, legislative printing, was let to Jacob North & Co. for $1.67 per folio for 500 «coples of bills, or 8 cents each copy above the award. Jacob North & Co. also secured the Btate Board of Agriculture's printing at the Tate of $6.20 per folio for 5,000 copies. The priting of the State Poultry assoclation, at $2, and that of the state librarlan, at $2.05, was a tie between the State Journal company and Jacob North & Co. This will doubtless be satisfactorily arranged betwesn the two competing bidders. NOT MUTUALLY PL Because they falled to other at first meeting a mance which has been brewing for some time was this morning oipped in the bud and the proposed match declarcd off. ‘‘Miss Knox,” without a line to indicate residence, is all' that marks the abrupt termination of the dream on the register of the Hotel Boyd. Miss, or rather Mrs. Knox, as she has been married, arrived from the east this morning. For quite an extended period she has been ‘corresponding with M. B. Fry of this city. He is sald to be an insurance agent. At the train he did net meet her, as she had anticipated, and she was compelled to send & messenger boy after him. What pass:d between them is buried in oblivion, but when later it was intimated to her that she came 10 Lincoln to get married she indignantly denled it. “Do you thiok,” she said, “‘that 1 would marry that man?" Perhaps she con- sidered Mr. Fry too aged, as he Is in the nelghborhood of 70 years, but she did not reveal her reasons, only in the following words: “We have been corresponding for a long time and never met before. We met to see whether we would ltke each other, and, just as Mc. Fry sald, it we didn't admire each other we could let it go and there will be 0o harm done. Don't you say 1 am going 0 marry him, for I am not.” Mrs. Knox appears to be from 45 to 60 years of age. MAIL CARRIER MISSING, George Nightengale, a well known mall carrier in this city, is mysteriously missing It is sald he received a telegram Monday evening of last week from Omaha and at once #ald he was golng there. He went the next morning and has not since returned. Post- ofice oficials say his family does not know where Lo ls. No reason Is assigned for bis NG. appreciate each matrimonfal ro- absence, except the assertion that he is con- siderably in debt. IN THE COURTS. uincy National bank secured judg- ment the district court this morning against the German American Investment company of this city for $6,640, and immedi- ately afterward filed a lengthy petition, which contains some sensational charges. The plaintift avers that the defendant company was organized in 1890 for purposes as out- lined by its name, and that in January, 1892, the capital stock thereof was $50,000, of which James Irwin held $9,000 worth. It further alleges that in that month Irwin met the president of the company, C. E. Mont- gomery, and secretly and fraudulently, with- out authority from the directors, without a meeting of any of the managers of the com- pany or their knowledge or consent, unlaw- tully and wrongfully reduced the capital stock from $50,000 to $41,000 by cancelling the $9,000 worth of stock held by Irwin, and Elving him in lieu thereof $9,000 worth of stock in the Quincy National bank, part of the assets of the investment, company, which was converted for this purpose. Irwin was a brother-in-law of Montgomery. The plaintift therefore asks that, as the investment com- pany is now insolvent, and plaintiff is un- able to collect its judgment from it, the can- cellation of the stock held by Irwin be set aside and he be required to restore the stock to the assets of the company, where it may be applied to the liquidation of said com- pany’s obligations. The cross-examination of J. A. Buckstaft was_concluded in Judge Hall's court today after a two days' siege, and the defense now having its inning. The line of defense is the same as that which was declared to be no good by the previous jury. Mra. Alice Brydon, the wife of one of the members of the defunct firm of VanDusen & Brydon, asks the district court that she be decreed to have a first lien on the $630 mow in the hands of the court, claiming it on a promissory note for $430 executed to her for work and labor. She attacks the valldity of McConnif's mortgage, claiming it was ex- ecuted without the knowledge of her husband, R. J. Brydon, and is null and void because withheld from the recerds for three months, and at any rate was only given to secure & private debt owed by Alice E. VanDusen. A number of other grounds, largely technical, are brought forward as defenses. W. S. Scott, alias Saunders, is still en- deavoring to convince Judge Strode and a Jury that he is a misjudged and misused man. Colonel Scott i3 accused of being one of the principals in the burglary of the emporiums of Philip Opp and A. S. Eager at Davey, and while his partner, Btchinson, says he is guilty and two or three officers and a justica of the peace testify that he confessed the robbery, Colonel Scott insists that there is some awful mistake, He is endeavoring to rear an alibi by trying to show that ho was at the time of the robbery on his way by foot to visit Als uncle, who lives out in the country near there. He denies having confessed and says that at the time of his arrest, examination and trip to Lincoln he was sick, and concedes that he might have said something to the officers, as when a man is sick, you know, he Qoesn’t pay much attention to what he says. Valley Notes nd Personals. VALLEY, Neb,, Dec. 11.—(Special)—Will Smith and family of Chadron arrived Satur- day and will spend a couple of weeks visit- ing relatives and friends.

CHARGES AGAINST A COURT REPORTER Mosher's Old Friend Declares the Indiffer- ence of the Stenographer to flis Ommicial Duties Caused Him Great Trouble. LINCOLN, Dee. 11.—(Special.)—Gorham F. Betts, who was convicted over a year ago of defrauding the state out of large amounts of money by presenting and having allowed money for supplies never furnished while act- ing as coal contractor to the asylum, is out again after a new trial. This time he brings it in the form of an equity action. Betts, It will be remembered, was the only one of the men indicted for defrauding the state by the methods described who was convicted, and it was generally supposed that after his release on bail after sentence to the penitenitary his case would be dropped; but evidently he doesn’t propose to have that sentence hang- ing over him. The petition recites that on the 12th day of May, 1893, he was indicted and afterwards tried and found guilty. His application for a new trial was refused and sentence imposed. The usual forty days' time in which to prepara a bill of exceptions was allowed, but the reporter failed to get the bill of exceptions ready and the time was several times extended. ing that fact, however, he alleges that the re- porter has failed, neglected and refused to make out the tranzeript of testimony, with- out which it would be impossible for him to bring the matter before the supreme court for review. Ho avers that it was not his fault that the transcript was not prepared, as after the court’s attention bad been called to the matter the reporter promised to make it out, but never did. He declares that ho relied upon the reporter entirely, and no other notes were taken, and now that the statutory time has long since passed It would be impossible, even were the notes trans- cribed, to bring the case before the supreme court for review, and that by reason of the laches of the reporter hp has been deprived of his constitutional right of appeal. There- fore the only road open {o him is to get an- other trial in the district court. John M. Fairfield is the court reporter in question, and he promises a sensation if Mr. Price, who s Bettsb attorney, insists upon charging that the failure to secure the trans- cript of testimony wak dwe to any negligence, carelessness or refusal on: his part to perform his duty. He says that, after the case had been tried and the procgedings In' this court ended he was proceeding to get out the transcript as ordered, when Price came to him and told him he need not do that, as he was going to take upstho-case to the supreme court by some other ‘method that would not necessitate _the muking and flling of a transeript. Mr. Fairfield thereupon stopped, but later was called ufion by Price, who asked If the transcript was ready. His previ- ous Instructions werg recalled to his mind and he thereupon praposcd that the reporter go ahead. Later he made another call, at which he made a proposition to the reporter, the exact nature of which the reporter de- clines to at present relate, but the matter was laid before Mr. Snell of the counsel for prosecution, and, if what the reporter hints at is true, theré promises to develop some thing of & sensational nature. Monroe Robortson Acquitted. BEATRICE, Dec. 11.—(Special Telegram.) —Monroe Robertson, arrested and brought back from Quincy, 11, some time ago to answer to the charge of embezzlement, was today discharged by tho county court. The trouble grew out of an attempt to start a new bank at Odell and to buy up the out- standing paper of the old one. Securities to amount of $165,000 were placed o Robert- son's possession, upon which he was expected Notwithstand- | to realize funds with which to buy up the claims. It was claimed hy the parties prosecuting tho matter that Robertson was attempting to convert the securities to his own use, but the judge considered the evidence furnished in- sufficient to justify him in binding the de- fendant _over. s BARNSTOMERS' TROUBLES. Treasurer of a Home Talent Dramatio Company Absconds with the Funds. PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., Dec. 11.—(Special Telegram.)—A home talent show company which journeyed to this city yesterday from the town of Unfon met with a peculiar mis- fotune. The performance was rendered in good fashion, but the treasurer took advan- tage of the duties of the members of the com- pany on the stage and settled up with the hall proprietors and skipped out with the proceeds on a southb-und Missouri Pacific passenger train. The defalcation has been reported to the authorities and efforts will be made to locate the treasurer, Charles Palling, and bring him back for prosecution. A stack containing thirty tons of hay be- longing to Charles Vandeventer, who lives out on the Platte bottoms, north of town, was destroyed by fire last night. The hay was 50 remote from the rallway tracks that to ascribe it to locomotive sparks is cut of the question. The blaze was doubtless of in- cendiary origin. Mr. Vandeventer is the victim of a contemptible sort of spite work. Three years ago his house was set cn fire and burned, and about a year later an un- known assailant stabbed him in the back while he was golng to his home from this city on a dark night. The authorities have a clew as to the person gullty of the last outrage, and will leave nothing und:ne to clear the matter up. Cozad Seerot Socleties Eloct OMcers.

DENVER, Dec. 11.—Two notable speeches on bimetalllsm were delivered at the ban- quet of the Denver Manufacturers exchange tonight. O. A. Holmes of Burnley, England, chairman of the parliamentary committee of the trades union congress of the United Kingdom, represer.t ng 1,:5),00 waze carners, aking to the tonst, “Bimetallism and Wage Earners,” said: “Thinking men ac- count for the present trade depression by the appreciation of gold consequent on the demonetization of silver in 1873 and since. It silver is restored to its former position it will revive trade and commerce the world over. Public opinion in England has re cently grown rapidly on the subject, and textile workers and others are co-operating with the bimetallic league, The recent ex- periment of the DBritish government with the financial and currency question in India is a flat failure, and the Indian government is at its wits' ‘ends to raise the necessary revenue. Bimetallism will be an important factor in the next British general election in 1895, and will be a test question in Lan- cashire and other constituencies for parlia- mentary _candidates.” Hon. “Wharton Baker of Philadelphia, speaking on * metallism and Manufac: tures,” said he professors of political sclence in Great Britain, men in the front rank In Europe and America, favor bimetal- lism; the opposition comes from money lend- . The demonetization of silver has c cted the world's money almost one-half, and appreciated gold, to’ the advan’ tage of the credifor class and ¢ and ruin of the debtor class, plan of bank currency set forth in dent Cleveland's message should be opposed by every citizen who has the welfare of the people at heart.
