NO BAIL FOR BARTLEY.

Nebraska's Defaulting ex-Treasu-er De
serted by His Former Friends.
LINCOLN, Neb., July 9.--Sevcral
weeks have passed since ex-State
Treasurer Joseph Bartley was con
victed of looting the state treasury OF
100000. He has appealed to tl.e su-
preme court, but remains in Jail. IN
able to provide bond that will give
him his liberty pending hearing.
He has sentence of twenty years
and fre of double the amount stolen
facing him, to say nothing of ten more
indictments to answer. It is consid-
cred that the chances of his returning
to serve life sentence if the verdict
be affirmed are very few, and this is
why his one-time friends will DO moth
ing for him. He has limited, from the
recesses of his cell, at suicide, other
wise he appears to take his medicine
like philosopher. He has few visit
ors and the man who was once a prime
favorite in every precinct IN the state
to-day has no person to speak word
in his behalf

JONES CAN DICTATE.
THE NEVADA SENATOR HOLDS
THE BALANCE.
dis Position Powerful One In the Mat
ter of Tariff Changes-Repubiicans
Cannot Garry Out Their Wishes
Without the Westerner's
Support.
The Tariff Conference.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-The tariff
conference committee is an unusually
large one, and for the first time is
composed of an even number. Politi-
cally the Senate committee is COM
posed of four Republicans, three Dem
ocrats and one silver publican, j Zones
Of Nevada.
While Mr.. Jones of Nevada will not
be able to hold the balance as between
the two great parties, the Republicans
will not be able to carry single mat
ter that may be in contention without
his support, SO that it may be said that
he practically controls not only the
Senate conferees, but the entire con-
ferencecommittee
two houses is joint body. but each
will act independently of the other,
and every question in dispute must re-
ceive the vote of majority of each of
the two committees, acting separately,
and at no time and upon no question is
there vote of the com bined commit
tee.
The first meeting of the conferees
began at 2:4O o'clock in the room of
the Senate committee on finance and
was attended by bo.h Republicans
and the Democrats constituti ting the
committee from each of the Houses.
The clerks of the Senate committee on
finance and the House committee on
ways and means were also present
The meeting was formal one.
WASHINGTON, July s.-When the
House met to-day the committee on
rules presented special order send
ing the tariff bill to conference as
soon as it was received from the Sen
ate. The Democrats tried to secure
an agreement for time to debate the
conference report, but none was made.
The Republicans offered day and
the Democrats asked for three or four.
The special order was adopted-14o
to 1o7-and Mr. Dingley's motion to
non-concur in the Senate's amend
ments and agree to conference was
agreed to.
The speaker appointed the following
conferees upon the tariff bill: Ding

Full State Ticket Nominated by Con-
ventIon OF 34I Delegates
DEs MONIES, Iowa, July 9-The gold
standard Democrats surprised both
their friends and enemies by bringing
341 delegates to the city for their
state convention. The meeting
was one of harmony along the lines of
the gold standard for finances and
tariff for revenue, together with de-
nunciation of state liquor laws enacted
by the Republican party. an issue
which the silver Democrats at their
recent convention omitted Grover
Cleveland's name was cheered every
time it was mentioned. The ex-presi-
dent favored the gathering with let
ter OF congratulation and encourage

Trials of Authorship,

A little girl in Chicago has recently
published volume of verse, to be sold
for charity. She was only six years
old when she undertook this literary
labor, or, as she says, II talked it, and
mamma wrote it down for me just as
/ talked it."
In one story she tells how typhoid
fever broke out among the fairies.
When the fairy doctor came, he talked
to the fairy godmother about microbes
and germs, and told her to boil the
water"
Then she. who was of an inquiring
mind, asked if hair was sidewalk for
microbe.
"Oh, no." said the doctor, "they are
much smaller"
"But if the germ had the fever" per-
sisted the godmother, why didn't the
fever, which killed little boys and
girls, kill the germ? And if the germ
didn't have the fever. how could it give
the fever? How could thing give q
thing it didn't have?"
This was too much for the fairy doc
tor, who could only answer, Nobody
knows but God"
Later the child breaks out into verse:
The flower that bends down to the
earth
Will soon go back to God;
But never again will it return
The same as it was plod.
In an apparently much needed foot
note the author explains that "this
poem, which came into my head quick
and sudden, doesn't make sense. be-
cause the word 'plod,' which rhymes
SO nicely with God, doesn't mean what
I want it to-"
In this embarrassment she seems
strikingly like real poets.

WASHINGTON, July 1O.-Minister
Hoshi, of Japan, has received late adj
vices from japan and Hawaii which
show that negotiations on the differ

on the immigration question are going

nothing in the progress of the nations

there is a probability of serious trou-
Bile between the two governments.

Untold Lies.

The art of telling lie by telling the
truth, but less than the whole of it, is
cultivated by some people; and when
their trick of concealment is by some
chance found out, they are never quite
believed afterward.
A person of this type was once relat-
ing certain circumstances to an ac-
quaintance, who appeared, perhaps, a
trifle incredulous.

you suspect what 1 tell you?"
"Oh, no." answered the other; "but I

removed to Sellers farm? DO the people
know? The Desiccating Company wanted
3S,OJO TO move, but Mr.. Taggart and his
Board OF Public Works thought that too
much. so they said: you move your plant
for nothing and we will extend your con-
tract four more years which means that
we will pay you Sl60o0 to get YOU on Sell
lers farm. OF course it will be several
years Defope Eop ger it. but when you ge5
to give them four more years? Their plant
was not worth over S. 000 and / doubt if
they could lind a buyer for that SUM.
The furnace was falling down and would
nave to nave been rebuilt inside OF three
months. What il the city paying the
Desiccating Company $4,000 a year for?
Ihey We're to burn all garbage and night
soil brought to them by July ], 1897. Are
they doing as agreed to in their contract?
No, they are not burning one-fOurth OF the
garbage, ana no night soil. Why don't the
city release itself from this contract? Ihey
have had all the chance in the world. On
July 10 the Desccating Company said in
sixty days they would be ready to nandle
everything brought to them. 1t IS past that
time now and the Desiccating Company
says they have started some Of the ma
chinery from Detroit Still Mr.. Taggart
said the garbage question is practically. set
tied. He means 1t is settled between HIM
self and the Desiccating Company. Mr.
What for? Why, 70 draw salary. DO
we hear any complaints from him? No.
What is the use of his being there? A
stranger can visit the place and see that
they are not fulfilling their contract. Let
any one take trip to Sellers farm and in
vestigate these things / am sure he will
come back and not say Indianapolis has,
indeed, one of the best garbage systems,
If they are paying $4,000 a year for it?
Now, about our collecting system. What
a farce it is! A gentleman named N1cCar-
thy came over here from st. louis and got
the contract for collecting. Didn't MIR. Nc
earthly have time of it? Why, he was
being fined for every little complaint. But
now everything is lovely and the goose
hangs high. Why? Because Mccarthy had
to sell out and the same people who have
the desiccating plant bought him out. This
collection system is even worse than Nc
Garthy's. They have a few wagons going
around for a blind and some time ago they
stated they were having fifty wagons made.
In last nights News they say they are
having one made for sample. Still. the
garbage question is practically settled.
Now, the garbage question which is prac-
tically settled is costing the city $4,000
year. Isn't that aa outrageous sum OF
money? Why, there is a waste of $S0.OO0.
The city ought to do this work From what
garbage there is in this town there is a
big profit They receive the dead animals
for nothing. ! am sure if the city would
do this work it would not cost over $4,000
a year thus saving S30,000 Sellers farm is
city property and when bids were received
for it / think there was bid for $500; still
this Desccating Company got it for $3.50
