It is asserted that this meeting is for the purpose of disposing of unfinished business and for the consideration of legislation re- lating to the Nebraska National Guard The board consists of the adjutant general and Colonels Hayward and Killian. 1t 1s not altogether improbable that plans for the organization of a Nebraska brigade will be discussed at the same meeting. The state now has two complete regiment a troop of cavalry and a battery of artillery, all forming a wilitary force as strong as that maintained prior to the war and suficfent, it is sald, to warrantthe or- ganization of a brigade. Considerabie dissatisfaction has been expressed in some quarters because of the attitude assumed by Adjutant Ge 1 Barry in reserving the title of brig general for himeelf. According to the precedent established years ago the ranking colonel of the Guard should be chosen to fill the position of adjutant general. This was done prior to the war, when Brigadier General Bills was promoted from a colonele: Orders 18- sued for the entire Naticnal Guard must be signed by a brigadier general and there is no reason why such an office shduld not be created.

The amount named is alleged to be due for electricity furnished to the state penitentiary during a period extending back two and a half years Attached to the claim is a document set- ting forth in legal phraseoligy several rea- sons why the money should be pald without delay. In August, 1893, the auditor of state and the Board of Public Lands and Buildings contracted with the Lincoln Gas company of this city for lighting the peni tentiary, for electricity supplied for 125 incandes- cent lamps. In the contract it was stipu- lated that the stale was to exercise care in burning the electpic fluid and to use no more of It than was absolutely necessary Since the execution of the contract the state has paid the company $100 at the end of each month The local company now complains that the penitentlary officials have been careless in the use of the electricity and had burned much more than they expected to supply. For the extra current they want an allow- ance of $3,200. It is also alleged that the penitentiary officials, in violation of the contract, added forty extra lamps to the i, for which the stato should pay I Denounces the “It's a steal; there's no question about that,” sald Auditor Cornell in speaking of the claim. “I did not know that they had a claim against the state until today, when it was left in the office by the company's 1 have taken it under advise- ment and will render a decision copcern- ing It in a few days.
