SURPRISED AT DIVISION OF COMMISSION iders Only Effect of This Will Be Part of Lawmakers, (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Feb. 20.—(Special.)—Repre- sentative H. H, Hanks of Otoe county pre- dlets the adoption of the Torrens la transfer pystem by the next legislature. Mr. Hanks is suthor of the bill creating the Nebraska Torrens commiesion. He was in Lincoln todwy and examined some of the detalls of the commissioners’ reports. “Basing my opinion upon what I had read and heard of its work in. other sates, I belleved when I introduced the Torrens Dbill, and do mow, that the system would be adopted by the next legislature by an al most unanimous vote,” sald Mr. Hank: Several states have adopted the Torrens system of transferring real estate and I belleve it fs but a question of time till every state in the union will have it In operation. England partially adopted It in 1863 and by & proviston passed in 1897 it 18 now practically compulsory. This certainly epeaks well for the system. Wherever I have found it once in operation it has mever been repealed. The register of Cook county, Illinois, writes me It is quite sure the bar of the state will not op- pose the measure. I wae talking recently with an attorney from Illinols, who has kept in close touch with the Torrens law because he expected to return to Chicago to pragtice. He states that no prominent attorney would oppose it. Every able lawyer is in favor of progress and what s beneficial to 99 per cent of the people is beneficial to him. The state bar of Illinols gave its sanction to the bill. In Virginla the state bar association after several dis- cusslons appointed a committee to draw up the bill and present it to the leglslature d urge its passage. Brevity, security and Inexpense recommend it to all. Its merits are founded upon its test. Trial in every Instance has given the system a complete triumph. Mr. Hanks was favored for an appoint- ment on the Tofrens commission, but the supreme court, following both law and precedent, decided that as he was a mem- ber of the legislature he was not eligible to the position.

DECISION IN TELEPHONE CASE Different Companies May Occupy Same e of Street, Says Judge Good of Wahoo, PLATTSMOUTH, Neb, Feb. 20.—(Spe. cal.)—At the last term of the district court in this city the ease of the Nebraska Tele- phone company against the Plattsmouth Telephone company, in which the former sought to obtain a permanent injunction to prevent the latter from putting up poles and stringing wires on the same side of the street in Loulsville, was tried before Judge Good of Wahoo and was taken under ad- visement. The court’s decision of the cas has been received and s in effect that a subsequent constructor can occupy the same side of the street and project its poles up between the wires of a rival company, and further, that a city can require electrical companles of the same class to occupy the same side of the street, in order to avold the annoyance to the public of having poles in many places.

TRACES SOURCE €F TREASURY PAYMENTS Declares No Part of Interest on Sixty Thousand Dollars of Trast Fund Ever Reached State Cofte: (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Feb. 20.—(Special.)—Attorney General Prout says he has discovered evi- dence which shows to a certainty that no part of the interest money paid to former Treasurer Meserve by the Unlon Stock Yards bank, on the $60,000 deposit of trust funds, waa ever paid into the treasury. He has found records giving the wource of all Interest money paid into the treasury by Mr. Meserve during the year 1899, and the money alleged to have been recelved from the South Omaha institution is not In- cluded In any of the amounts. The books of the Treasury department show that four payments of interest on cur- rent funds were made by Mr. Meserve for deposits in state depository banks during the year 1899. They are credited within about thirty days after the end of each quarter of the year. There is nothing in the books to show how much of the in- terest money was received from the differ- ent banks, nor how much money each of the banks had on deposit. The payments were made in lump sums and were credited “From depository banks, interest on cur- rent fund Expert bookkeepers examined the recorda and came to the conclusion that there was no way of telling to a certainty whether or not any interest on permanent school money had been credited from depository or other banks. It was granted that Mr. Meserve might have paid in some of the money he is alleged to have appropriated to his own use. It was hinted that Me- serve might make his defense along this line, maintaining that the payments ma during the year included the interest money received from the South Omaha bank. Bank Reports Throw Light. Since the experts went over the books, however, a bundle of bank reports was discovered which threw new light on the matter. The items of these reports were checked over and It was soon found that all of the interest money paid into the treasury by Mr. Meserve could be ac- counted for being derived from de- posits of current funds, and from no other funds. Mr. Prout is prepared to submit this evidence in court. An estimate based on the average monthly balances of the current funds bears out the attorney general's statement. The average monthly balance during the 1899 fiscal year was $300,680.22. Interest on this average amount at 3 per cent, the lowest legal ra would have been §9,020.40. The payments during the period amounted to $8,884.13. The discrepancy is easily accounted for, because the former figures are merely estimate based upon an average. The show- ing would indicate, however, that Mr. Me- serve did-not pay into the treasury much more than the interest recelved on lawful deposits of current funds. JOHN FREMONT, INDIAN, DIES Member of the Council that Ceded All Eastern Nebraska to the Govern t. PENDER, Neb., Feb. 20.—(Special.)—One agency died Tuesday of a complication of diseases and old age In the person of John Fremont, as‘he was known to the white people, or Chas-a-Nin-Gah as the Indians knew bim.

Semator Mil- 1ard has already secured from the Agricul- tural department a donation of 200 pa ages of garden seeds, which arrived this week. In addition to these it will be neces sary to secure garden tools and to meet this and other expense incidental to t maintenance of the work the women will have to raise at least $500. No definite plan to that end was made, however, but the committee will investigate a suitable plot of ground and other matters during the week.

CASPER, Wyo., Feb. 20.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Business in Casper today was prac- | tically suspended, the public schools wers | cloted, and everyome that could crowd into | the Natrona county courtroom heard the testimony in the trial of Charles Woodward on the charge of killing Sheriff Ricker. At the morning session Deputy Sherift | Milne and one other witness were exam- ined, their testimony being unimportant. Mrs. Ricker, wife of the dead man, Mra. Woodward, wife of the prisoner, and her sister were compelled to leave the court- room, objections having been raised to their staying and listening to the testi- mony. Testimony this afterncon showed that the prisoner had Ricker's gun when he ar- rived in Montana and traded it to & young man named Owens; also that he stole a horse eight miles east of town and rode it to the Woodward ranch. Eighteen wit- nesses for the state have been examined and there are ten more to go on the stand. Two of the state’s most important wit- nesses, Owens and Berkheimer, will be put on the stand tomorrow morning. These are the two men who captured Woodward and recelved the $1,000 reward, and to whom he 1s said to have told the whole story of the Killing and the escape. 1t 1s stated that the prosecution will ex- amifie twenty witnesses, and that the de- tense will begin its case tomorrow. The defenso has only three witnesses, but is prepared to make a strong fight for Wood- ward's life. What the evidence in the prisoner’s favor is, his attorneys will not say, but it has been learned that testl- mony will be imtroduced to show that Jim Westtall, the escaping prisoner that has not yet been captured, killed the sheriff, ana not Woodward. Clark Johnson, one of the witnesses for the prosecution, testified that he and Westfall were at the Woodward ranch when Ricker was killed. Westtall went outside of the house shortly after Ricker started for the barn and a few mo- ments later he heard a shot.
