Mr. Kern says: ‘Most people are famillar with the fact that the semi-annual perlods of stite lnsti- tutions begin the first of December and end the first cf June. The expenditures for this institution for the first semi-annual period were as follows December, 190... January, 1901, Tebruary, 191 March, 191.. . Avpril, 180 May, %1 e This makes the the semi-annual period $31,596.31, of which 7.67 was expended during the first two monthe (namely, December, 1900, and Jan- uary, 1901). It is also familiar to the vast majority of the peopie in this locality that the chauge in the management of this in- stitution oceurred bruary 1, 1901 By this it is plainly shown that the first two months of the first semi-annual period were under the management of the retiring pop- ulist administration. While it is unfortu- nate, yet It Is true that the present admin- Istration is charged with the heavy expen- ditures of December, 1900, and January, | 1901, contracted by the populists, when in reality tbe present management had noth ing to do with the business affalrs of the administration until February, 1801 “Iu addition to this, when the change 'n the administration occurred, February 1 we found on our books a total ef unpa bills amounting to almost $17.000, the remalniug four movuths of the semi-apnual period—February, March, April and May. The heavy expenditures for the first two months of the seml-annual period above referred to vers much exceed that of any two previous months during the history of this iostitution. “I have no desire to lessen the comforts by an unwarranted cheap administration, | but desire 1o give them every possible com- fort o far as can be dove in barmony with a good, honest, economical wanagement of the affairs of the institution.” | TALMAGE GIRL TRIES HANGING raction to Love Affairs Leads to Attempted Suicide with Overall Rope.

Acrenge of Winter Wheat. It is conservatlvely estimated by grain men of this city that the acreage of winter this year is at least 10 per cent The Nebraska Grain Dealers’ association has reported that the last crop of winter wheat amounted to | 40,080,000 bughels and if the yleld per acre . | of the crop now under heavy and the increase in as estimated the yleld next year will be 44,000,000 bushels, which will be far In excess of any crop produced in the state. “Nebraska has taken a high rank among the winter wheat states,” said Charles T. Neal, a local grain dealer, this morning. Until a few years ago It was known as a spring wheat state and very few of the Nebraska farmers aware that our soll could produce & good winter crop of the cereal. Last year (he acreage in- creased to & marked extent from all over the state this fall indicate that still more ground is sown for the winter crop.” \ Strong Demand for Land. cultivation is as age as great were Land Comm Commissicnor a land-leasing braska.

At nearly all of the auc- tions the bdding was brisk and we c.uld have disposed of much more land had we had any at our disposal. The peopl fn the counties we visited se°m to be satisfiad with their prospects. They euffered some trom drouth, but with the high prices now being pald for corn they expect to re- alize aimost as much as they would have done from a tull crop. “Next week we will start on ano h r leas- ing tour in the southern part of the state and later will visit the coun In ihs western and northern portions.’ 1t is expected here that the selection of two Nebraska men for places in the Hall ' and reports | ot | and | of Fame of the St. Louis exposition will be | made within the next few days.

A petit jury answered to roll | call. There was not much interest mani- | fested, as there was a light criminal | docket. A jury was impaneled in | Bowling Green Bank against 3| Wroughton, et al, and after a briet trial | the court peremptorily instructed the jury | to return a verdict for the plaintiff for | $7.495, bearing interest at 8 per cent, which | was done, and a judgment rendered accord- | ingly. This case had been pending since October, 189 | Another of the old cases disposed of was | entitled “The Commercial National Bank of Omaha against Thomas C. Brainard Carry A. McCleery, et al,” which was com- menced April 19, 1894, In this case Mrs, | McCleery of Little Blue township has been | contending against what ehe considered | an unjust enforcement of a surety debt | against the estate of her deceased husband, | James B. McCleery. It has been the con- tention of Mrs. McCleery that Omaha prop- erty, pledged to the payment of the debt and amply suficient therefor, was wrong- fully diverted into other channels, by and | with the connivance of the plaintiff, who, having benefited thereby, should not also be allowed to recover the amount from the estats of her husband. The trial was a hard feught legal battle and much in- terest was manifested as to the outcome. The note sued on was dated August 12, 1890, and called for $5,000 at 10 per cent interest, which made in all up to date nearly $12,000. After a struggle for two days the jury returned a verdict in favor of the defendant. An appeal to the su- preme court will be taken Divorces were granted to Christine Pool from Fred Pool, Elizabeth B. Kirk from Jacob Kirk and William Bartram from Lil- | lto Bartram.

The governor urged repub- licans to go to the polls next Tuesday and work and vote for the success of the en- tire state ticket as well as the different county tickets in the various counties throughout the state, Governor Shaw was next introduced and was received with hearty applause.

D., Nov. 2.—(Special.)—~Two insurance agents operated in @harles Mix county just east of Geddes the fore part of the summer, and as a result between twen- ty-five and thirty farmers are figuring on how to avold the payment of alleged notes against them ranging in amounts from $20 to $100. The agents eaid they represented a Kansas City hall insurance company and told the farmers that their rate would be 50 cents to $1.50 on the $100, according to the nature of the risk. The victims were asked to slgn a paper which some supposed was a receipt for their policy and others thought was an obligation to the company for the amount of the premium at the rate agreed upon. About the first of September the farmers recelved notice from head- quarters at Kansas City that the company held notes against them for amounts at the rate of 346 on the $100 of their policies and later the notes were sent to @ bank in Geddes for collection.
