An Informal COMPLAINT.

A. G. Stewart, Of Crawford, Dawes
county, filed an informal complaint against
the Fremont, Elkhorn g. Missouri Valley
railroad company, alleging eccessivo and
discriminating charges against HIM for the
shipment of freight from Albion to Craw.
ford, q distance OF $50 miles. The discrimi-
nation is in this: From Omaha to Craw-
ford the charges for the same shipment
would have been, S64 per car, distance of
1870 miles further and he was charged the
same sum. Complainant alleges that he
was charged S47.90 too much, and asks tho
state board of transportation for reimburse
ment on the part of the company. The COM
plant was not verified by affidavit and was
returned for such verificaton, when it is
possible that Mr.. Stewart may get hearing.

The only question is, how far will our

LINCOLN, July Is.
'I see that one of the Omaha papers takes
me to task regarding the registration OF the
Adams county bonds" said Treasurer Hill
this morning, "aud IL Is but Just that be set
right. The fact is, advised the registration
of that county's bonds, but 1 do not mean to
take upon myself the credit due to Auditor
Beuton's action. Shli, the fact that ad-
vised the course that he pursued is sufficient
TO prove that the charges made against me
arc unwarrauted and unjust. I also coun-
seled tho purchase of the Butler county
bonds, and 1 was one of the parties instru.
mental in their negotiation, although estop-
ped by the causes pending before the supreme
court, touching tho constitutionality Of the
new law, and the subsequent resolution
passed by the board of public lands and
buildings, forbiddlng any purchaser of court
house bonds, voted under the new law, for
the reason that the permanent school fund
might be ieopordized. adopted the policy
of purchasing per cent bonds at par when
l came into Office, and the permanent
school fund is safely invested in this way. In
fact, when the Butler bonds were
negotiated, il was the specified understand
ing that they were TO be paid out in install
ments, for the fund in hand was exhausted
by prior purchases. When I took charge Of
the state trcasurer's Office there was $780,
055.40 of the permanent school fund on hand.
Every dollar of this has been safely and
wisely invested in frst-class 5 per cent bonds
bought at par. This fund now is coming in
slow. More bonds could be purchased, but
the fund Is practically exhausted. 1t ought to
be remembered that the interest ON common
school lands is not due until next January,
and no more will be paid In until settlements
are made with county treasurers. The IN.
terest on leased lands is payable semi-an-
nually but at this time the receipts IL any,
are the result of calls. / can state the
further fact that we have had the chance to
purchase 500, 900 of 5 per cents, between now
and January /, but have had to pass them
because we cannot hope to get in over $40, 900
by that time.n

Condensed History of a Most Inter
esting Case.
AN IMpokrANr DECISION.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE secretary
Of the interior TO. day rendered a decision
in the case Of James K. Martin, guard
ian, and Calvin James and the city of
Cheyenne, WYo., VS.. Frances Nolan. The
land involved lea nesr Cheyenne and is
used for water works. The decision sus-
tains that of the commissioner of the gen
eral land Office. rejecting Nolan's pro.emp-
ton application.
LOCAL APPLICATION.
This land, or a greater portion of it, is
covered by Lake Abssraca, and its reten-
ton by the city is greatly desired, in fact,
to dispense with it would involve the ex-
penditure of quite a large sum of money.
The history of this remarkable case
dates back to some time in 1877 when
John Talbot made an entry of the land.
His claim was rendered invalid by failure
to make proof within the time required by
law.
On the morning OF March 3, 1885, the
Cheyenne land Office issued notice of the
decision of the secretary Of the interior
affirming the ruling Of the commissioner
of the general land ONCE csncelling Tai
bots desert entry. At 1870 .. m. Nov.

claiming a settlement Feb. .l9, 1885.
His filing was rejected BY the local office
on the ground that the land was covered
by the homestead entries. Nolan APP
pealed to the general land office, and was
sustained. His filing was allowed to be
be made of record, the rights of the con-
flicting claimants to be determined by

proof,

his settlement was made for speculative
purposes.
Nolan now appealed to the COM
missioner of the general land ONCE. In
summing up the case Acting Com.
missioner Stockslaeer said:
Upon the whole | must conclude that
the testimony does not show or sustain
a bona fide presumption right in Nolan to
the land in controversy, hence his filing
is held. for cancellation and the
land awarded the cuntestants
From the last decision7N Nolan appealed
to the secretary of the interior with the
result given in the Associated Press tele-
