Mr. Rosewater said he “sA been told by prominent men that a farge part of the $180,000 of the Bartley plunder, drawn from | the Omaha Natlonal bank, went to, pay for the prisoner’'s pardon and his court trials. He thought Former Representative George | Mead of Omaha could add light on this point. Mr. Rosewater thought the men who were state bank examiners at the time of the defalcation ought to be able to give the committee information as to the bank in which the money was deposited. One of Bartley's Offers. One of the most striking points brought out by the testimony of Mr. Rosewater was his statement that in the fall of 1804, just prior to Bartley's latter election as state treasurer, Cashier Best of a Grand Island bank told him (Rosewater) that Bartley had offered to place $10,000 of the state's money in the Grand Island bank, providing it would be accepted as a private loan. Best sald he refused. Mr. Rosewater stated that Bartley bad persistently re- fused to tell him or his representative wha banks he had deposited this money in. Mr. Rosewater thought former Deputy Warden Bowers and Under Warden Davis of the penitentiary could aid the committee in getting at information concerning the cigar box. The committee went into executive ses. slon after examining Mr. Rosewater and consulted with Attorney General Prout, who had been summoned as a witnes as to the mode of procedure, and decided to exclude everything' as record henceforth but positive testimony. Stueter to Be Investigated. In addition to the special whfch has begun an inquiry into the Bartley transactiom, the house, acting upon the suggestion of Sears of Burt, today fnstructed the speaker to appoint a com- mittee to investigate the official conduct of ex-Stato Treasurer Stuefer in the Burt county school bond case. Nelson of Doug- las made the motion to have the committeo appointed and the epeaker named these members: Warner of Lancaster, Mangold ,. Meradith of York, Davis of Fighback of Clay.

Sears has taken the most decisive stand against this bill and a: chairman of the claims committee, says would be stultitylng himselt to act tavorably on it unless it is clearly demon- strated that Mr. Stuefer did not realize a8 much off this bond speculation as he is asking from the state, $3,000. I am willing to have an investigation made of any of my officlal acts,” sald Mr. Stueter, who Is in the city. “I will cheer- fully testify before the committee if it de- #ires. 1 do not fear my claim will be re- Jected.

Be- fore golng into comittee of the whole it passed several bills, among which was H. R, 236, by Gilbert of Douglas, pro- viding for radical changes in the city elec- tion law, designed to prevent repetitions of the frauds perpetrated In Omaha during and prior to the last primary election, when scores of lllegal voters from other states, principally lowa, were brought into the eity. The bill lessens the chances for citi- zens to vote at primaries who have not registered and provides that the city clerk shall publish the names in the ofcial paper seven days prior to the primaries of all who bave not registered, so that they may be known to the voters. H. R. 271, drawn and backed by South Omaha citizens and introduced by Riggs of Douglas, provides for a reorganization ot the South Omaha school board, with five instead of nine members, was passed under suspension of the rules. The purpose of the bill, its friends say, is to preclude the occurrences of such scandals as transrired there among members of the school board last year. House Ratifies Appointment, As a sequel to the attempt to subject Secretary of State Marsh to official casti- gation for alleged discrepancies in the pur- — HE CAN. Because He Has HBeen Over the Ro: A grocer down in Texas sald that when he first put in a stock of Postum Food Cof- fee he concluded to try it himself, to know bow well he could recommend it to his customers. He says: I quit using cof- fee and had Postum prepared according to directions on the package, and found it a most healthful, toothsome beverage. 1 had been troubled seriously with stom- ach trouble, but after leaving off coffee and using Postum I gradually got better and better. That interested me so I per- suaded my mother-in-law, who is over sixty and a confirmed coffee drinker, to quit coffee and drink Postum. She Bas suftered for years with stomach trouble and food coming up in her throat after cating. As soon as she quit coftee and began using Postum this distress stopped’ aud ghe bas been getting better and better ever since.

H. Clark, custodian | of supplies, was appointed by Marsh or by the senate. The claim Is the appointment should have been made by the senate. Cer- tain criticisms have been made of Clark’'s officlal conduct and it was with the view ot administering some sort of correction that the legislature took this action. The house and senate, however, have gone into the case with their eyes shut. This ex- tract is taken from the house journal of January 18: DEPARTMENT OF STATE, LINCOLN, Neb,, Jan, 13, 1%8.—To the Honrable House of Representatives: Following precedent establiched, 1 have appointed Mr. W. H. Clark custodian and James Jallison, assist- ant custodian, of the supply room and ask that they be appointed by your honorable body.

An item In the Lincoln letter to the Northwestern, published at Loup City, re- lating to the amendment to the Brady ele- vator bill, tacked on by the committee, has occasioned much surprise and amusement among the friends of the bill. The para- graph said the bill had been amehded by Senator . Wall, “giving the shipper many advantages not contained in the Brady bill, and is now on general file in the senate with fair prospects of its passage.” The amendment proposed by Senator ‘Wall, or his committee, repeals one of the most vital sections in the statutes so far as shippers are concerned. It strikes from the statutes the law requiring railroads to conduct an interchange business, allowing shipments to be made over two or more roads without reloading. That is what friends of the bill say Semator Wall's amendment has done. Segator Srady and friends of the measure claim that it is purely & rallroad idea and will fight the amendment to its death. SENATE TO SIFT ITS BILLS Expected Fight Over the Appointment of Commitice Falls to Materialise. (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, March 10.—(Special.)—The ex- pected fight on Harrison's resolution nam- ing a sifting committee was not as warm as was expected. The resolution provided that the committee consist of Warner cf Dakota, Wall of 8herman, Day of Nuckolls, Reynolds of Dodge, O'Neill of Lancaster, Hall of Douglas and Way of Platte. After having been put gver from Saturday until Tuesday, during which time many confer- ences were held, Harrison this morning moved to have Hastings of Butler and Saunders of Dougl: dded. Brown of Keya Paha was in favor of Harrison's amend- meant. Marshall of Otoe moved that the resolu- tion be indefinitely postponed and that the senate go into a caucus and select its com- mittee. After a few little talks the senate adopted the Harrison idea. It was expected that Howell of Douglas would make a fight against the committee, but be succeeded in getting Saunders named he was satisfied and voted for the amended resolution. It is the opinlon of the Douglas senators that the bill to tax railroad terminals for municipal purposes will fare well at the hands of the committee. There are others who think not. Senate Routine.

It was intro- duced by Howell of Douglas by request HOUSE BUSY ON REVENUE BILL Adopts Committee Amendment Fixing the Time of Levy on April 1. and (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, March 10.—~(Special.)—8oon atter convening this morning the house de- cided to continue action on the revenue bill as a special order as soon as other un- finished business was disposed of. Proceeding to billd on their final p age, the house passed several meeseures of im- portance. H. R. 236, by Gilbert of Douglas, was among this number. The bill provides for more stringent registration laws in Omaha." The principal effect of it, says the author, will be to exclude the importation of foreign voters at the, primaries or elec tions. It requires a residence of ten days lin a ward before a person may register, and limits the conditions under which a person who has not rogularly registered may vote. H. R. 123, by Douglas of Rock, removing two-thirds limit of indebtedness for railroads and allowing them to Increase their liabllities to anv amount, was paseed. Douglas says the measure is meant to ben- efit the Elkhorn railroad. H. R. 240, by Jouvenat of Boone, increas- ing the salary of the secretary of the State Banking Board to $2,000, that of the state bank examiner to $1,600, with $600 per an- num for expenses, and prohibiting the use of commercial paper by a banking concern as part of the capital stock, was passed, as was also H. R. 323, by Hathorn of Red Wil- low, giving to Russell F. Loomls of Red Willow county a deed to a quarter section of land on which he settled in 1872 and for which he has been unable to obtain a titla from the national government, which, sub- sequent to his homestead filing, donated the land to be held to the school fund of Nebraska. Tho house conéurred in the senate resolu- tion to have the committee on accounts of expenditures act with the senate committee to investigate whether W. H. Clock. is cus- todian of the store room by appointment of the legislature or secretary of state. On motion of Rouse of Hall the governor's recent message on moving state, buildings was received and placed on file, to be called up with appropriation bill. Aect on Stuefer Resolution, Nelson ‘of Douglas renewed his motion to have a committee appointed to act on the Sears statement looking to an investigation of ex-State Treasurer Steufer's method of handling sckool bonds, and Speaker Mock- ett named these members: Warner of Lancaster, Meradith of York, Mangold of Douglas, Davis of Buffalo, Fishback of Clay. At the request of Kennedy of Douglas the house went into committee of the whole to consider, first, H. R. 271, by Riggs of Doug- las, providing a reduction in the number ot South Omaha School board members from nine to five. The committee recom- mended the bill for passage. The house took a half hitch on time and met in afternoon session at 1:30 instead of 2 o'clock. It took up H. R. 344, the rev- enue bill, in.committee of the whole. The first provision of the bill considered was that .fixing the time of assegsment.- The original bill named. February 1 and the standing house revenue committee proposed to change this to April 1. Thompson of Merrick offered an amendment to fix Marca 1 as the time. After a epirited cebate tho committee amendment for April 1 carried by an overwhelming vote. Perry of Furnas lead in the fight to have property assessed April 1 and was followed by Junkin of Gosper, Cassell of Otoe, Mendenhall of Jet- terson, Bartoo of Valley. Kennedy of Doug- las and McAllister of Deuel, Thompson of Merrick, Douglas of Rock and Wilson of Pawnee, all members of the committee that framed the revenue bill, opposed this amendment. An amendment by Nelson of Douglas was adopted making taxes on real property a first len from and including the first day of October of the year in which they are levied until the same are paid. A committee amendment was sdopted making section 29 read: ‘‘Personal prop- erty, except such as is required,in this chapter to be levied and assessed otherwise, shall be listed and asscssed in the county, precinct, township, city, village and school district where the owner resides, except that property having a local sites like lumber yards, grain elevators, etc., shall be assessed at the place of sites,” ete. © A communication was read from the gov- ernor submitting a bill giving the secre. tary of state perpetual right to sign paving petitions, “the general purpose of the bill belng to validate the paving of streets sur- rounding the capitol building, for which the &ppropriation bill sets out $10,000 to defray the state’s portion of this expens The prime object of this bill is to provide for ‘the repaving of the streets on the east and south sides of the capitol grounds, Sixteenth street between H and K streets and H street between Fourteenth and Six- teenth streets. The afternoon session adjourned at 5 o'¢lock, the order being a' night session to begln at 7:30. The house, in committee of the whole, re- sumed: consideration of the revenue bill at 7:30 tonight. Section 58 of the bill, pro- viding for a tax on the gross amount of premiums received by a fire insurance company, written on property within the state during the year, occasioned a spirited debate, but was finally adopted against two proposed amendments. Section 69, imposing a tax of £ per cent on the gross-amount of premiums of for- elgn life and accident insurance companies, except fraternal and mutual on assessment basis, also was discussed at lemgth.

The Rock Island bridge crew has been working hard for weeks blasting the ice in the river with dynamite to prevent gorges forming and taking out the bridges. The foot bridge had but recently been re- placed and was thought to be in good con- dition, but it could not withstand the heavy pounding of the ice. The Missouri Pacific bridge at Loulsville, which was one of the solld raflroad bridges, also went out this morning at 3 o'clock and all communica- tion with Sarpy county from South Bend to Plattsmouth is'cut off for the present. GENOA, Neb,, March 10.—(Special.)—An iee gorge carried out six spans of the Loup bridge south of this place on Monday morn- ing. The bridge was lifted from the piling and carrled down the river about halt a mile, where it now rests upon the"ice, and an effort is being made to rescue the tim- ber. It is reported that the bridge at Fullerton was -also carried away PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., March 10.—(Spe- cial Telegram)—The ice gorge which formed in the Platte river yesterday caused the Missouri’td go out of its banks last night, a rise of four feet. Much anxiety was felt “for the saféty of the Burlington tridges at Oreapolis and a large number of men were sent thete to break up the ice with dynamite. A portion of the main line of the Burlington between Oreapolis end South Bend was for a time in {mminent danger of being washed away. For sume time work on the last span of the Burlington's new steel bridge at this point has been’ in progress day and night and this morning the men succeedéd in getting it anchored. The ice commenced moving out soon after, with a mighty roar, causing the bridge now in course of con- struction to tremble from one end to the other, and for a time it was feared that the falsework would be washed away, but dynamite was freely used to break up the ice. A large portion of the big bar oppo- site this city is now covered with ice rnd water from the main channel. Planks and other building material are floating down the river, indicating bad washouts at other points. Several barges of the pontoon bridge were carried down the stream with the ice. GIBBON, Neb., March 10.—(Special.)—The heavy snow has gone off with a rush. Every slough and creek leading from the hills is flooding the country adjoining. Bridges are out and embankments are ruined. Wood river has spread out in all low places." The water is almost two feet deep around the mills. It has also backed up In front of the depot and surrounds Smith's livery barn. East, toward Shelton, the road looks like-a vast lake. This morning the river is about an inch .higher than last night. The ice is arched up In the center and the bridges are threatemed. s SOUTHERN ' RAINS CONTINUE Kentueky, Loulsia Tiinots Michigan at Mercy of RU Waters.

The higheat water matk has not yet been reached, but may be soon it the lce gorge at lonia breaks or if a threatened rain proves heavy. Reports from lonia say the water has risen nine inches there since last night and is still rising. Rains for Twelve Hours, LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 10.—A beavy twelve-hour raip, extending over a radius | of fifty miles, with its center at Lauis- viile, will, according to the local westher bureau, cause a rise in the river of two feet above the danger lines, The lowlanda in Indiana and Kentucky are flooded for miles '\ NEW ORLEANS, March 10.—~The river here rose only two-tenths of a foot in the past iwenty-four hours. Dirt s belng hauled to the river front and weak phaces made secure. .No,news of additional breaks along the La Fourche have been received. The two which occurred yesterday re- leived the strain upon the levees. While the damage by these breaks will be cou- siderable, it will be entirely local.

It was specifiéally stipu- lated, Mpwever, that it did noj amount to an amendment Senatot Morgan consumed the entire tmé of the remainder of the closed session dfs- cussing the canal question from various points of view. He discussed particularly the attitude of the Isthmian canal commis- slon He expressed a desjre to have copies of the correspondence between the govern- | ment and the new Panama Canal company on theioption to purchase the canal for $40,000,000, and the sehate consented to r 1‘ quest the secretary of state for the cor- responderice The papers had not arrived at 3:30 and as Senator Morgan said he could not con- tinue without them, Senator Cullom moved that the senate adjourn, and this motion prevailed During the day there was more or less informal discussion of the proposition to permit Senator Morgan to publish his re- marks in the Congressional Record, but no effort was made to reach a decision Senator Cullom takes the position that this permission should not be granted unless Senator Morgan will agree to allow a day to be fixed for a vote. | During the day Senator Morgan distrib- uted coples of eight pamphlets on ' the treaty, in which he attacks it from almost every conceivable ground. He declares the new canal company illegally constructed, | the arrangements with Colombia qf doubt- ful validity and repeats his Charges of bribery. Hit the Wrong Nalil, The best mechanic will sometimes hit the wrong nail on the head and a slight injury of this character may disable him and cause a loss of several days 'time when he can i1l afford it. When such injuries are treated in the same mapner as a United States Army surgeon would treat a wound viz., apply an antiseptic dressing as soon as the injury Is received and before any in- flammation or swelling appears they will heal in one-third the time usually re- quired. Chamberlain’s Pain Balm acts on this same principle. It is an antiseptic and causes the injured parts to heal with- out maturation, which .insures a saving: of more than half the time usually required for them to heal, In case of a burn it alldys ‘the pain almost instantly. Paln Balm is a liniment and one of the most remarkable yet discovered. It is most widely known on account of its cures of rheumatism and lame back.
