THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: :MONDAY, MARCH 4, 1895. SEEDS WILL BE FURNISHED Nebraska is to Be Helped Out by the £ur- rounding States, TRiP OF STATE RELIEF COMMITTEEM:N Encouraging Conferences with Members of Bt. Louls and Chicago Boards of Trade ~How Grain Will Be Distributed nough for Every Acre. Last Thursday morning W. N. Nason, J H. Hartley, Henry Sprick and 8. B, Thomp- son of the State Rellef commission started out upon an expedition in an effort to se- cure seed grain for the forty-three drouth- stricken counties of this state. The gentle- men first visited St. Louls, and from there they went to Chicago, returning to Omaha yesterday morning. In speaking of the journey and the work accomplished, Mr. Nason, president of the commigsion, sald that all of the members felt greatly encouraged over the success that had attended their labors. Upon reaching St. Louis the members of the com- mission went to the city hall and called upon the mayor, who took them over to the Chamber of Commerce, where an en- thusiastic meeting was held with the grain men and a number of prominent citizens. As organizations, both the Board of Trade and the Merchants exchange volunteered as- sistance, and in the end it was decided that each county in the state should be asked to contribute a car of s as a gift to Ne- braska, to be fent In care of the commis- sion for distribution. Mr. Nason stated that in his opinfon some of the counties would send several and that in ad- ourlans would send rye, barley and dition to wheat, the Mis to this state corn, oats, garden and root seeds. SAME WAY AT CHICAGO. From St. Louis, the members of the com- mission went direct to Chicago, reaching there Saturday morning. They went to the Board of Trade building, where they were recelved in a most cordial manner by the members, and as soon as the open session closed, @ meeting was held, most of the Board of Trade members participating. Two plans were discussed, one being to con- tribute outright and the other to loan seed grain to the farmers of this state, to be paid back after the marketing of the crop. In addition to this, the Board of Trade will fssue an appeal to the counties of the state, asking each to contribute a car or more of grain to the commission for distribu- tion in the several counties which were drouth stricken last year. At both Chicago and St. Leuls the opinion expressed that Nebraska was too modest in asking for the assistance that she needed. Mr. Nason stated that the commission was intending to continue the work which it had undertaken, and that he had it upon good authority that Iowa, Minnesota and Indiana stood ready and willing to duplicate any offer that might be made by Tllinois and Missourl. 1In the event of this plan being consummated, Mr. Nason said that the five states would contribute not less than 500 cars of sceds and seed grain. The commission has made a careful esti- mate, and it is stated that to plant the Jand under cultivation in the forty-three drouth-stricken counties will require in the aggregate 5,000,000 bushels. The planting of these lands, the members of the com- mission figure, means in the event of a crop the sum of $100,000,000 to the farmers. METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION. The manner of distribution has been one of the knotty problems confronting the com- misslon for many weeks, but that has now been solved, says Mr. Nason. The members have evolved a plan by which each county will recelve its just and equitable proportion. “The plan is this,” sald Mr. Nason. “In each of the «counties we have a central com- mitttee, made up of the officials and best oitizens. In each county there has been a canvass made of the number of acres under cultivation and the number of bushels that will be required of each kind of grain. These figures we have and when any state or asso- clation ships any grain, it will be eent to some distribution point, consigned to the commissioner and there it will be received by the central committee of the county to which It is sent and fairly distributed. In this way we hope to be able to seed every acre in western Nebraska and with a fair crop, the state will be upon its feet before the end of another year. “Qur people have passed through the winter in remarkably good ehape,” continued Mr. Nason, “and while they have been compelled to deprive themselves of the luxuries, but few have suffered. They have all had fuel, not to waste, but in sufficient quantities to keep them from freezing. They have also had enough to eat, though the menu has not been varied to any great extent, the principal articles having been bread and meat. Re- garding the clothing, there has been plenty Some of it has been good, while some of it has been next to worthless. But they have been enabled to pull through the winter in good shape, eo far as articles of wearing apparel are concerned.” THEY ARE COMING BACK. Being in direct commuication with the central committees of the drouth stricken counties, Mr. Nason said that he was pre- pared to say that most of the people who left the state last fall would return with the coming of spring. “In fact, they are coming now,” added the secretary, “‘and before the ground 1s ready to be planted, fully nine- tenths of the men who abandoned their farms last summer will be back and making preparationa to once more plant their lands.” The garden seed question Is one that has been discussed among the farmers, and many inquiries have been sent to this city asking Af there was some central point from which such seeds would be distributed, This matter 16 explained by Mr. Nason, and in discussing it he sald: “In Omaha we have a large warehouse filled with garden seeds whi have been contributed by seed men and t farmers in other states, These eeeds have been put up in packages and will be ready for distribution about March 15. Aside from the ds now on hand, we have $5,000 which we will expend, thus being able to furnish all of the garden seed that will be required. “In making the distribution, we will send the county supply to the central committtee of each county, letting the members dis- tribute direct to the farmers. These com- mittees have canvassed their respective coun- ties and have filed all applications, so that it a farmer does not get his seeds, it will be his own fault,” e A Fow Advantugis.

The Society of the Sons of the American Revolution recognizes the services of all patriots who assisted in establishing American independence, and provides an hon- orable membership for all their descendants, whether through male or femalo line of de- scent, The constitution provides that any man i eligible for membership who Is of the age of 21 years and who is descended from an anc tor, who, with unfailing loyalty, rendered ma- terial aid to the cause of American Independ- enco as a soldier or a seaman, or a civil officer in one of the several colonies or states, or as a_recognized patriot, provided he shall be found worthy. The objects of the society are patriotic and praiseworthy. Its influence and importance will increaso with years. The object is best stated in the constitution: * "The objects of the society are to per- petuato the memory and the spirit of the men who achieved American independence, by the encouragement of historical research in relation to the revolution and the publication of its results, the preservation of documents and relics and of the records of the individual services of revolutionary soldiers and patriots, and the promotion of celebrations of ali patriotic anniversaries, to carry out the in- junction of Washington in his farewell ad- dress to the American people; to promote, as an object of primary importance, institution for the gencral diffusion of knowledge, thus developing an enlightened public opinion and affording to young and old such advantages as shall develop in them the largest capacity for performing the duties of American citi- zens; to cherich, maintain and extend the in- stitutions of American freedom; to foster true patriotism and love of country, and to aid In sccuring for mankind all the blessings of lib- erty." ““Residents of this state are entitled to membership in the Nebraska society, irrespec- tive of the residence of their ancestors.” R e RECOGNITION OF BLESSINGS, Sermon of Rev. Thomas M. Boss at First Congregational Yesterday. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, the First Congregational church was filled yesterday morning. The services were conducted by Rev. Thomas M. Boss of Leay- enworth, Kan, The text of the sermon was, “What shall we render unto the Lord for all of His benefits toward us?” Rev. Mr. Boss eloquently described the blessings that have been showered upon man- kind by the Creator in all ages, but this age being the last, it was also the most favored. “Nothing could be conceived of,” he said, ““that would be more suitable for the life and happiness of the human race than the earth itself, with its bright sunshine, happy homes, powerful states and their laws for the pro- tection of all alike. But the greatest blessing of them all, the great civilizer of nations, the educator of peoples, the agency which has converged mankind into a universal brother- hood—the gospel—must not be forgotten in this enumeration of a few of God's blessing to man. Not to recognize these blessin, not to acknowledge our indebtedness would bo.ingratitude so black that the blackest in- gratitude to be found elsewhere on earth would be heavenly in comparison.” Last night a series of popular Sunday even- ing services was begun. These services are to be composed largely of the best choir music, congregational singing, and a short ad- dress, which last evening was delivered by Rev. Mr. Boss, EX-JUDGE ELLER INDICTED. Charged with Appropriating Dividends In Cases of Assigment. In the last bunch of indictments handed in by the grand jury Saturday was one against ex-County Judge J. W. Eller. He has not been arrested, as It was too late when the findings were returned Saturday evening to Issue the capaiscs. They will be issued and served today. It is taken for granted by all those familiar with the complaints made against Eller, both while judge and since leaving the bench, that the indictment s based on facts submitted some time ago by County Judge Baxter to the county commissioners. It was then pointed out to the commissioners that Eller on taking office recefpted to his successor, Judge Shields, for dividends, still in the hands of the court in assignment cases, but that he failed to turn over to Judge Baxter such amounts as had not been distributed during Eller’s term and for which no receipts from final parties could be shown. The aggregate of these sums was stated to be about $200. It is not presumed that the larger sums in dispute between Eller and his successor are mentioned in the indictment. The reason assigned is that thus far only questions of law are involved In these controversies, B THE DIRECT SOUTHERN ROUTE Via Rock Island, Bhortost Line and Fastest Time.

John Carroll, an old resident, took a dose of “Rough on Rats" Saturday evening and died from the eftects yesterday morning. He was 65 years of age, and lived with his wife at Twenty-eighth and E streets. They had no children, Carroll was down town Saturday afternoon and visited a number of saloons. Before golng home he stepped into a drug store and purchased a package of the pofson. Upon reaching home he showed the package to his wife, who was surprised and remarked that there were no rats in the house. Carroll sald that the polson was not for the rats, but for himself. Mrs. Carroll grabbed thc poison and threw it into the stove, then she ran out to call a neighbor as she thought her husband had gone insane. As his wife left the room Carroll, with the aid of a pair of tongs, took the package from the stove and poured about half the contens into a glass of beer which he drank. Shortly afterward he was taken with convulsions and became very sick. Dr. Thomas Kelly was sent for and worked with his patient nearly all night. In spite of all the physician could do Carroll died at 7 o'clock. Coroner Maul was sent for and will hold an inquest at 11 a. m. today. Carroll was an old soldier and owned con- siderable property here and in Iowa. No reason can be assigned for the deed, as Carroll was in fairly good health and had no trouble as far as known. To Encourage the Christinn. At the First Methodist church yesterday forencon the pastor, Rev. C. N. Dawson, preached a sermon on “Endurance—the Quality that Wins.” Mr. Dawson described the discouragements most common to Christians and as an offset to these enumerated the encouragements that are the solace of those whose purposes are firm. He concluded by saying: “‘We are encouraged by the promises of Christ's constant presence and aid. He calls us to do no undertaking in which He will not assist us, He calls us to no conflict but that he will ald us to conquer. We should be encouraged by the fact that our friends have much invested in us. Our ex- ample may cheer them on. Last, but not least, heaven is at the end of the Christian’s Journey.” Magic City Gosap. The city council meets tonight. There will be a meeting of the Board of Education tonight. Colonel C. M.

Could the citizens of France in the black days of the revolution have seen ‘‘Paul Kauvar” as given last night at Boyd's, not the patriots of those troublous times, but the actors themselves would have been victims of the revolutionary tribunal, and they would have gone to the guillotine singing the mar- tial songs and shouting for liberty and the perpetulty of the republic just as their Jaco- bin forbears were wont to do when Robes- plerre_came to the front as a great leader after Mirabeau had passed beyond. The play 1s well put on, the tableau of the dread guillotine in the first act, which is seen by Kauvar as a dream, was particularly effective, but there was no light or life in the performance, with but one exception, Miss Esther Lyon made a very sweet and loveable Diane, who, swayed by daughterly duty and wifely love, was at all times intelligent and conyinelng, and it 15 a pleasure to be able to say this of an Omaha girl, for it is de- served.

The accident occurred Satur- day night. Van Buskirk has been a con- stant lodger at the police station almost ever since the cold weather began. About a week ago he was giyen a suspended jail sentence in order to allow him to get out of town. In company with another man he went to the round house Saturday night to find a warm placs to sleep, and lylng down near the stove he had a fit, and while in that condition he threw his feet against the stove. Van Buskirk is from Grand Island and came to this city last fall, hoping to get In & hospital where he could be doc- tored but did not succeed. — - Notice.

I have got the tip pretty straight that the president wants to throw the re- sponsibility of financial legislation upon the republicans who control the next congress. He will call congress together about sixty days, or so after adjournment, and con- front it with a demand to do something to settle the financial question, especially the bond issue. Republicans are dodging a re- sponsibility which will be Inevitable, and the president will then endeavor to stem the tide of prejudice against the demo- cratic majority of the past by giving the republicans an opportunity to do something one way or the other, with every reason to believe that they will not concur -with his financial views, and then will follow another prolonged agony which will give democrats a chance to say ‘I told you so.’ I believe candidly that the silver question has got to be settled, and that the silyerites gained a victory recently in the provision for the payment of bonds in coin which makes it optional tc use either gold or silver. Surope is milking the American gold reserve cow dry, but If enough bonds are issued at one time to not give those European capital- ists an opportunity to get in their work so quickly on small lots, the evil will be reme- died.

When the road was first constructed, Colonel Meagher was the ‘transient agent’ always moved to the end of the line, pushed to the front, as the rails were laid, to open a new station. Jim has . choice lot of remin- iscences of ploneer days, including the time when he shot all the feathers out of an In- dian’s war bonnet and then made the war- rior stand on his head on a pile of railroad ties. This veteran -railroader also tells of the time he carried §. H. H. Clark on his back and swam across the Platte river, on a hunting expedition. Another time, he worked up a big salelof tickets for the Union Pacific by disguising himself as an Indian, accompanied by several of the yard crew, and riding on horsebacls through the small town where he was agent, whooping and shooting, with an energy that caused a stampede of citizems -to- the railroad sta- tion, where they bought tickets in a hurry for 'Omaha, to escape what they believed was an inevitable massacre to follow, that night.

Instead of being surrounded by Indians he fs now sur- rounded by a loving family, but he loves to tell of the old days when he chased In- dians (and they chased him), with an oc- casional memory of close brushes with bears and a wholesale slaughter of buffaloes. He is one of the oldest railroad agents of the country, and it is doubtful if any of them have had as many narrow escapes as Uncle Jimmy.” — e — TAX BONDS PROPUSED. OMAHA, March 1.—To the Editor of The Bee: Why would it not be an excellent idea to so amend our tax collection laws that the county treasurer’s office will be something more than an office maintained at the expense of the people for the pur- pose of keeping books and doing collecting for a lot of tax shark: It has occurred to me that the county authorities should be authorized to issue bonds running say from five to ten years, to be known us tax bonds, and drawing say b per cent interest, the proceeds from the sale of which could be used on the day upon which the taxes became due in paying up all delinquent taxes on real estate, These bonds would become a first lien on the delinquent real estate. The coun could charge as a penalty for non-payment of taxes an inter- est of 10 cent, and the difference be- tween this rite and what the bonds bear would return to the county no little rev- enue. At the end of the bond period, let it Dbe ten years or less, as may be decmed best, If” the taxes had not been pald I would then have the title to the land for- feited to the county, and then the prop- erty could be sold absolutely to the highest bidder for the purpose of redeeming the onds. This {8 merely a suggestion, but it has seemed to me that some such plan could be marked out, making the burden less heavy on those Who are temporarily unable to pay their taxes, and at the same time offering some return to the county, instead of being an item of considerable expense, as under the plan in vogue. I would liké to hear from others on this subject. *** | $100. OVERLAND'S CHECKS RAISED Olever Swindlers Follow the Pay Train Throughcut the System, MANY THOUSAND MADE BY THE DIAL Figures Changed by the Use of Ink and Acld=Full Force of Unlon Pacific Detectives &t Work on the Affalr, DENVER, March 3.—One of the most sys- tematic and ingenious check-ralsing swindles that was ever successfully out in America has just been unearthed in this city, the victim being the Union Pacific company, nearly every bank in Denver and several dry goods and other houses. The method sued by the swindlers show them to be master criminals and as daring as they are dishonest. Barly last month the Unfon Pacific car left Omaha on ite regular monthly trip to Salt Lake City with the wages of the company's employes. Closely following the car came.a gang of check raisers, and its members left acid and pen in nearly every town where Union Pacific employes reside. The full ex- tent of their operations and the loss to the company and to those who took the raised salary checks is not yet fully known, but enough has leaked out to show that the check raisers have netted thousands of dollars by the swindle. DETECTIV! S PUT TO WORK. The full force of the Union Pacific de- tective corps is at work on the matter, as well as the polica authorities in Denver and all the other towns along the line, The gang visited the hotels and saloons most frequented by railroad men, where a large portion of the checks had been cashed or traded in and bought them up for cash. In value the checke ranged from $10 to $100, but esch one was skillfully raised to $110 and passed for that amount at banks and stores. In every instance the raised check was tendered for some small purchace, so that the gang got nearly the entire amount in cash. In Denver the checks ultimately reached different city banka where they were pronounced all right and forwarded to Omaha. The Union Pacific auditor then pacsed all the $110 checks as being all right and commenced the balancing of accounts. When the returned checks were eompared with the stubs of the check book the fact became apparent that the checks had been tampered with and work at once com- menced by the railroad detectives, It s supposed that the gang worked west to Salt Lake and then escaped to the coast. 2 Kobbed of One Mundred.
