For Alleged Murder.

DAVID CITY, Neb,, Feb. 2l.-TSpecial Tele-
gram to The BEE. An electro plate fakir,
who gives his name as Frank Baker, was ar
rested this morning by Sheriff Darnell, on a
telegram from the city marshal at Linwood,
to hold him for murder. He is charged with
the murder of his mother-in-law, Mrs Ell
lott, of Poughkeepsie. N. Y. Baker when
arrested gave the name of France, and
declares himself innocent. He says
his family lives 10 central Iowa
and are prominent people He denies ali
knowledge of the murder and says ne is
being prosecuted by 'jim crow detectives.
A reward of 81, 100 is offered for Mrs. Ell
liott's murderer. Bakers photograph was
taken at Schuyler a day or so ago and he
has certificate given him by n detective
named Sowders, that it was to be sent back
to Poughkeepsie only. telegram from
there said he was not the man wanted, but
he was re-arrestcd here to-day. The de-
scription says the murderer has bullet
wounds in the arms. Baker claims he has
none, and he does not resemble the descrip-
tion.

Ennuilla's Coal Find.

USApILLA, Neb., Feb. 2l.-tSpecial Telc-
gram to THE BEE. The coal prospcctors
are going still deeper in hopes to ind a
thicker vein. Instead Of three deposits four
have been struck by the dggers, each about
fifty feet apart, aud it is now thought that
fifty feet deeper still thicker vein will be
discovered. Tho men on the works are posi-
tive as to the thickness of the deposits thus
far discovered, and only the quality now re-
mains to be asccrtained 10 determine the
value of the find. For moro that one hun
dred feet the digEers have been boring
through rock, and Just on discovering the
coal vein a deposit of six inches of slate was
penetrated. The people of this place are
confident that the tind is genuine, and will
invest money to thoroughly investigate the
genuiness of the article. This is the second
find made IN this vicinity. In 1915 well dig
gors brought out Jumps of coal which were
tested and proved TO be of good quality, and
only the quantity prevented thorough invcs-
tigation at the time. The foreman of the
works is ready to make affidavit that the de-
posit is three feet thick.

A 100000 Library.

BEATRICE, Neb., Feb. 2l.-ISpecial to
THE BEE. DR.. George L, Miller and Messrs.
Perkins and Ford, of the New York Life In
sur2nce company, have been in the city for
the PAST few days, and last night laid before
the board of trade the proposition that if
S}00,000 life insurance in their company
would be taken in this locality, a
proportion of the commissions for all
time would be turned in for the establish
ment and permanent maintenance of public
library. Two hundred thousand dollars of
tho amount has already been taken, and the
remainder, it is thought will be Sc
cured within few days. The citizens are
taking hold OF the matter in earnest, feeling
that an extensive library such as can be put
in, will be great benefit.

No More Reform" Demanded,

GENOA, Neb., Feb. 2l,-[Special to The
BEE. During the hot campaign of 1885 no
man in Vance county used his lungs more
vigorously, crying fraud" and "reform,n
than A. NJ. Shumaker, the candidate for
county clerk on the reform" ticket, aud
when elected the taxpayers of the county
felt that their money was safe in the hands
of their great anti-boodler. They were even
amused when at its meeting, the board ap-
pointed a committee TO investigate Mr.. Shu-
makers books The investigation, which
took place last week, shows that "reformersn
are sometimes found short.
The statute provides that the clerk shall
keep fee book in which shall be recorded
all fees received; and all sums in excess of
81 800 per year shall be paid into the county
treasury. The investigation disclosed the
fact that during Shumaker's administration
less than 81 800 a year was recorded in the
fee book while the records for his first year,
1886, give S2,U59,9O, aud for 1887, sl,SlS.35.
Consequently sS4S. IS seems TO be unaccounted
for, and the taxpayers are Interested TO know
where it has gone.
In the light of these, and the Indian school
developments, it is safe TO say that "refornn
is not very popular in this section just at
present. The investigation at the school is
progressing slowly, and will probably con-
sumo several weeks. ,-.r

Mr.. Congor of Iowa moved to increase

FURNISHING IuulN bullulusSs III SIthhiuE VI
this amendment Mr.. Hatch of Missouri,
said that the parsimonious treatment which
the committee on appropriations accorded TO
the public buildings of the country was dis.
graceful
Mr.. Randall defended the appropriations
committee, and said it had struck against
everything that looked like an undue oNpen-
diture OF public money.
Mr.. Hatch inquired whether the demo
cratic secretary of the treasury was not as
competent to judge of appropriations which
should be made for furniture as were tho
committee on appropriations.
Mr. Randall replied that the committee
had examined into the contracts and knew
that the estimates of the department could
be cut down one.half without Inconvenience
to the public servive. IT has been shown
that there has been gross extravaganza in
the expenditure for furniture.
After further debate the amendment was
rejected, and without completing the bill the
committee arose and the house adjourned.

Ransom's Representative Bill.

LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 2l Especial TO The
BEE Senator Ransom introduced a bill di-
rectng the commissioners of counties en-
titled TO more than one representative or
senator to divide the county into the requisite
number of districts and providing that mem
bers of the legislature from such counties
shall be elected by districts. In explanation
of this measure its author said:
at seems that the republicans of Douglas
county are able to elect only one member.
il tho county were divided into nine districts
several of them might be republican, AT
least it would give us nine chances instead Of
one to elect some of our men. It's worth
trying for.n
Ransom has also introduced bill for a
state fuel and supply agent.
