Name,.., .. “fwo-cbnt stam; 1848-1815 - - - Street.. erett of the Board of Ceunty Commdissioners told him he had had letters written to Stuefer asking at what rate he would buy the bonds and had never recelved an an- swer. Beck sald Neligh had offered to buy the bonds at 3% per cent and $800 premium, but that he preferred to accept an offer which J. R. Sutherland said Stuefer made to take them.at 3%. He was in the minor- ity on the board, he said, and did not have his way. He sald he mor any member of | the board communicated with Mr. Stuefer, notwithstanding the latter's reported offer. The witness sald he had never ques- tioned the legality of the Neligh transac- tlon or asked Sears to investigate it. He said he never heard this question discussed by the board. Fodrea was the next withess. He identi- | fled the two checks, $70,000 on the First National and $10,000 on the Merchants Na- tional bank of Omaha, which Stuefer pail Neligh for the bopds, and the enfty in the bond book. He corroborated the former's statements explaining that the ‘defivery of the bomde on July 3 was dated July 5 be- cause they were delivered after office hours and the 4th was a holiday. He also identi- fled certain records of Interest recelved by State Treasurer Stuefer from the First Na- tional bank. He sald the exact number of coupons detached to pay Neligh was 184 at $18.75, making $3,450, the present worth of $4,000, the value of the coupons for tem years. This explained why the $660 in cou- 8 was left dttached to the boads. Fodrea Bal he'thouglit the state’got all the money due it on”the two chacks. Attorney General Prout testified to having advised Mr. Stuefer as stated above and ving heard Sutherland tell of the. pending Issue of the Burt county bonds. He next heard of these honds from BStuefer, who 8howed him’ a letter regarding them from Neligh. He told Stuefer it he bought them the Board of Educational Lands gnd Funds, Pt which he was ex-officlo a, member, would Issue an order for his action at its mext meeting. He again, heéard trom Stuefer, who faared “‘they” were trying to beat him out’of'the bonds. “ Nellgh then went on the stand and after telling of how he bought the Cuming county, bonds for Charles 8. Kidder & Co. of Chi- cago, and sold them to'Stuefer, related the history of the Burt county boud transac- tion. : The committee adjourned after 11 o'clock to meet at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. 1t expects to close the testimony Thursday morning. Revenue Bill in Senate, The revenue bill, with a few amendrhents, will be réported to the senate in thé morn- ing and will be made a special order for tomorrow afternoon. This was decided to- night at a meeting of the reyenue com-, mittee, at which were present a majority. of the senators. With a few chan, house amendments were concurred in. The limit of assessment for. state taxes was reduced from 7 to 5 mills and foreign cars were put In the same class with Pullman cars for assessment.. The Insarance and street raflway taxation methods. were not changed, despite. the lobbyists’ effort; Howell of Douglas made an effort to have the committee change the taxatior on acei- dent insurance companies, but was ufsuc- cessful. The plan decided upon tonight is to'have the bill'go through the' committee of ‘the whole tomorrow and’ passed Thurs- day. Some amendments will be offered and a fight made to have them adopted, but it is the general opinion among Lhe senator: that’ the bill will be passed as it comes from the committee.

He made a strong speech in support of his mo- tion, pleading the justice of the sugar bounty claim. He sald the motion was to secure expeditious action.

Loomis of Dodge held in his hands papers which he sald were unpald bounty claims of beet sugar growers against the factories which he held were as legitimate as the manufacturers’ claims. He did not under- stand wiry these claims were not considered. He said it was his purpose to so amend H.

LONDON, March 24.—The announcement that Major General Macdonald 18 to be tried by ‘court-martial will undoubtedly provide the greatest sémsation in British military circles since Colonel Valentine Baker was sentenced on August 2, 1876, to pay a fine of $2,600 and 10 twélve months' imprison- ment for indecently assaulting a woman in @ rallroad carrage.

Lord Roberts, the commander-in-chief, paid tribute on that occasion to the High- land officers who. had served with distinc- tion, but he did not mention Sir Hector. This attracted considerable notice and the sensation was Increased, when another peaker, who was not aware of the facts in the case, lauded Macdonald as a typlcal Highland soldier, and found that his re- maths were received in cold silence by the mafority of the officers present. General Macdonald, it {s announced, left England for the continent some days ago and, it is understood, that he is returning to Ceylon, under the advice of Lord Rob- erts, who has heard his version of the case. —e See ‘What Twenty-Five Cents Will Do When Invested in the Right Way.
