It is learned tonight that as A consid- eration for killing the governor's bill to reduce the compensation as clerk of the court Clerk Herdman gave to the senate and house finance, ways and means com- mittees a signed statement in which he agteed to waive the annual salary of $1,600 authorized by the constitution. This waiver 1s now on flle in the secretary of stato's office, and is signed not only by Herdman, but by Senator Arends and Rep- resentative Lane, chairmen of the commit- tees, and by Representatives Cain and Evans as witnesses. On the strength of the agreement the finance committee cut the approprifition for the office out of the ary bill Discusses Onteopathy. Explaining his approval of the osteopathy bill, Governor Dietrich sald: *‘Whether or mot it is bemeficial to humanity to di- versify the manner of treatment of corporeal ills {s a question upon which t ere is a wide and conflicting difference of opinfon. The old schools have their votaries, so have the osteopaths and so have the Christian Scientists. Indeed, the spectacle is impressively analogous to that of the money question. The green- back currency, like Christian Sclence is based on faith. The silver, useful for subsidiary purposes, like osteopathy, has a ratlo value, and the old schools like the gold standard is after all the./basis which must support and carry the superstructure and be the dominant factor. Among other bills approved by Gov- ernor Dietrich today was senate file No. 4, belng an act relating to and regulating bonds of public officers. The bill was champloned by Dr. Lymas, a member of the legislature from Adams county. After fixing the amount of bonds the bill pro- vides that the authorities whose duty is to approve bonds of the county officials, may " dispense with such bonds if in thelr judg- ment they shall deem it best to do so. This provision favorably impressed Gov- ernor Dietrich, who 18 opposed to the ronding of public officials, Suggests Graduated Penalty. “Instead of a bond," said the governor, “I would attach a graduating penalty to unlawful acts. 1 would balance the lar- ceny of every $1,000 with a year in the penitentiary. 1t an official embezzles $1,000 he should be confined for one year, and if he embezzled $10,000 or $20,000 the penalty should be ten or twenty years respectively. This penalty should be made otherwise in- clastic, and to insure righteous retrihution and punishment the comstitution should be Diffioult Digestion ‘That is dyspepsia. It makes life miserable.

Tomor- row ho will go to South Omaha to attend a banquet to be given in his honor by the commercial club of that city. As to the work of the assembly, Speaker Sears, after adjournment this morning, sald “The Twenty-seventh legislature labored under great dificulties and encountered many serious obstacles, but nevertheless it performed its work well and deserves credit for s0 doing. The members of the majority and minority sides held nightly caucuses, but they did not neglect the work of the session. All the members were ready at all times to attend to committee and other work, and I think I am safe in saying that more was accomplished than in any other assembly for several years past, notwith- standing the session was a short one. “The early adjournment, forced by a fow republicans desiring to defeat the election of a certaln candidate for United States senator, and the fusionists joining with them, hoping to prevent the election of any candidate, made it necessary to rush a few measures without giving them neces- sary consideration. Less time was spent on the three appropriation bills, calliing for an expenditure of over $2,000,000 of state funds, than on the game bill alone, which came up in the house during the early days of the session. “On the whole, I think our deliberations have heen harmonious and free from the personalities sometimes indulged in. While some of the members may have differed from each other on a few things, they nev- ertheless treated each other courteously hoth those of the majority and minority, re- gordless of party. In fact, very little of the partisan spirit was shown at any time in the session.” Secretary MeKesson's Estimate, J. €. F. McKesson, secretary of the senate and former senator from Lancaster county for several terms, compared the Twenty-seventh assembly with former leg- islatures, and said: “While the legtsla ture may have fallen short In a few re- spects, it accomplished a great deal. More than the usual number of bllls were passed but many of these were curative to errors in the statutes and can hardly be called new laws. The fire at the penitentiary, transportation of the First reglment from San Franocisco to Nebraska and the large deficiencies swelled the appropriations, but notwithstanding this they are no higher than those made by several legislatures in recent years. The senate and house were reprsentative bodies of men and con- sideraQly above the usual standard.” The expenses of the legislature, including salaries of officers and employes, were about $12,000 less than two years ago, when the entire appropriation of $130,000 was consumed. This year $133,000 was ap- propriated, but $15,000 of the amount was for recarpeting and repapering the legis- lative halls and committee rooms and a lot of worthless statlonery and supplies ordered by the popocratic secretary of state before the session began. otal of Appropriations. The total of all appropriations made is approximately $3,000,000, which includes the emergency appropriations for rebuilding the state penitentiary, for reimbursing per- sons who advanced money for the trans- portation of the First regiment and for taking up the deficiency claims arising from the extravagant management of state institutions by the popocratic administra- tion. The State Historical society was glven an iucrease from $5,000 to §10,000, an ellowance of $4,000 was made for the travel- ing libraries and the new supreme court commission necessitated an appropriation of $145,000. In addition to these the legis- lature made appropriations for permanent state fair grounds near the ecity of Lin- coln, for a fire-proof wing for the Hospital for Chronic Insane at Hastings, for farm land ai the Beatrice and Norfolk institu- tions, for the expenses of a Torrens land transfer commiseion, the commission to re- vise the compiled statutes, the Missouri river boundary commissions, for the Pan- American exposition, for wolf bounties and for the rellef of homesteaders, and the German Evangellcal church in this ecity.

STEALING EROM GOVERNMENT Employes of Commissary Department of Army Working Great Graft. GETTING RICH QUICK AT MANILA Thonsands ounds of Supplies Dis- appenr While Being Landed and Are Reported an Lost in the Water. The report of the arrest of an army off cer, of commissary sorgeants and civilian clerks, together with several prominent business men of Manila, did not fall with the effect of a clap of thunder from a clear sky at the headquarters of the Department colating through official and clerical strata of army life for some time in reference to irregularities at the commissary depot at Manila, and in some cases charges have been made in a general way, involving no particular cfficer, to the effect that men in the depot at Manila were feathering their own nests at the expense of the govern- ment. The straightest story in regard to the matter was told by an officer who re- turned from the Philippines some time ago and who is now In Wasiington awaiting retirement. In conversation with @ number of persons at army headquarters a short time after his return he said in substance: “Somebody s making himeelt rich at the expense of the government in Manila, and it is being done in & way which will make it diffcult to bring the charges home, and for that reason those who arc in u position to be morally certain of the facts are re- | maining quiet, as they do not want to be involved in a scandal where they may find it Impossible to produce legal evidence when cases agalnst the parties involved might come to trial | Bay is a Hansy Thing. “According to officlal reports there Is more United States property at the bottom of Manila bay than has ever been lost in the water, and if a close inspection were made T have no doubt that much of this property could be found stored in the town |of Manila. As far as 1 could learn while on the island the method of proceeding in case, where an officer or other person in charge of stores desires to accumulate a little property of the government is ag fol- lows: The harbor at Manila is of such a nature that transports cannot come to the plers to unload and the merchandise con- signed to the army is taken off in lighters, called cascoes by the natives. A casco will hold about 4,000 pounds of freight. The stores are all marked and when passed over the side of the vessel the bill of lading or ligt of stores s checked by a clerk in charge and on delivery at the pler it is re ceipted for. While on the way from the shore to the ship an empty casco is ov turned. The next trip it makes to shore its load is delivered not to the officer in charge of the commissary supplies, but at another pler and the officer or other per- #on on the boat makes a report of the ups tetting of the casco with the stores on board. This report paeres through official hands and the commissary officer is re- lleved of responsibility on account of the loss of property which did not occur by the overturning of the casco. Lighters Are Overloaded. “This method is followed in many in- stances, but is not the only one where fir- regular work is corrected by the sinking and overturning of lighters. A lighter will *hold about %000 pounds, but an inspection of the report¢ of the boards of survey, which have felieved officers of responsi- bility for loss, will show that in many cases the boards have reported as high as 40,000 pounds of property lost by the founder- ing of a single casco. Where this property is no one knows and who is helng bene- fited by the loss no one can tell.” Speaking yesterday of the matter of the arrests one of the clerks at headquar- ters, who has been in the Philippines, said ‘‘There is no doubt that persons on the island who have had any connection with the commissary and quartermaster's de- partments know that many irregularities exist in these departments and they fur- ther know that it is practically impossible that it should be otherwise under existing conditions, even though every man in con- nection with the handling of provisions should be perfectly honest. Take the case of Major A, (. Devol, recently relieved as quartermaster of one of the departments. When orders came for his transter he found that he was short of supplies and property valued at about $300,000. Mules and wagons which had been consigned to him were una counted for, and he instituted inquiry as to their whereabouts. He found that many of these had been sent with supplies to head- quarters of one of tho army corps and went out there to Investigate. The general in command stated that he had a pumber of mules more than he charged with, and turned about forty animals and many wag- ons back to the quartermaster. These had accumulated at headquarters of the corps by being sent out there and not giving the teamsters orders to return. The men wer» pressed Into service by the general and the property was safely kept at headquar- ters. After going through the department the apparent, shortage was reduced to u small amount and the quartermaster wus relieved of responsibility on account of the loss, as he showed that it was made in spite of the exercige of the greatest care, How the Bakers Figured, “Now, In reference to the arrest of sey- eral bakers. | can see how they might be arrested and still be guiltless, although ap- pearances might be against them. The offi- cers and civillan clerks in the army service at Manlla are given permission to buy sup- plies from the commissary at cost. This was of great advantage to us. While na- tive beef was selling over the butcher's block in Manila for 75 cents a pound we bought good fresh beef at 5 and 6 cents a pound. Flour which sold at $5 a hundred wae bought by us for $1.90, with all other provigions in proportion “A number of the civilian clerks in the general commissury department, with about fitty in the depot commissary office, formed @ mess and hired a cook to prepare meals. It i¢ a hard matter to get a good cook over there, cspecially one who understands how to handle American flour. For some time our bread was abominable and we cast about for means ‘o improve it. We finally found a baker named Clark, who was a good workman, and with him we made ar- raugements whereby he was 1o give us 100 loaves of bread for each 100 pounds of flour we delivered tg him, he taking for his remuneration the flour left in the sack after the 100 loaves were made. He stated tbal he oould make 140 loaves from 100 pounds of flour, so he made about $6 for his worl on the flour, bread selling at that time for 15 cents a loaf on the open market, and we got our bread for less than 2 cents a loaf. Now, if Clark is among the bakers arrested. 1 expect tbat those who made the arreast found several sacks of commissary flour in his possession, as the mess bought the flour from the government and delivered it to him. There was no complaint about the practice, and the United States lost nothing, for, #s we had no losses in the making of {bread by this system, we used less fous than we would ordinarily have done, whers | panful after panful would be thrown away as unfit for food. “1 expect that while some stealing may be found and many Irregularities uncovered, much of tae alleged crookedness will be found to grow out of practices similar to the foregoing' | | of the Missouri, for stories have been poer- | SHRINERS STRIKE A DELUGE Wenrers of th: Fer, Accustomed to enert Sands, Get & Wet and Frosty Dea 1t is beginning to be euspected that the | fates that rule the elements are not in ive sympathy with the Auditoriuin move ment, for the fourth week of the Audi- torium exposition opencd last night only a half hour behind the inevitable rain.

H. Grant, alias Martin, were recelved here yesterday and this morn- ing the much wanted mail box robber will be taken to Cincinnati in charge of two deputy United States marshals from the Omaba office. Yesterday a representative of the Pinkerton detective agency and Postofice Inspector Sinclair held a long conference in regard to the disposition of Tiller. The Pinkerton operative sald that Tiller was not wanted by them at present on any specific charge, but that the agency de- sired to keep him out of mischief. that the head of the concern was convinced that the only way to do this would be to keep him in jail and that in protection to the banks of the country they desired to adopt the plan which would keep him behind the bars the Jongest time. For this reason he thought probably that the best plan would be to take him to Hastings for trial under the Nebraska laws for forgery in ralsing the bills of the Ohlo bank and after he had served a term for this offense the United States could take charge of him The postoffice inspector said he had re- ceived word from the inspector at Cinelu- nati to the effect that the government could not fail in its case in that eity and that as soon as he had served his time on this charge he would be taken to Mem- phis o answer for a similar offense. From there he would go to Peoria and from there to some other place. It has been estimated that if the goverament can secure con- victlons and sentences for the average period of time customary in such cases they can occupy the time of Tiller for eighteen years at least and then they will be ready to turn him over to the state of Nebraska ritles o for To Prevent Pneumontia and Grip Laxatlve Bromo-Quinine removes the cause.
