OMAHA, Neb., Oct 4-The famous
case wherein the state is trying to OBJ

stated to a jury in Omaha After the
attorney general said that he would
prove that after BARLEY had held the
Office four years 1857, 900 was missing
from the funds, the defense made the
startling announcement that BARLEY
was not legally in Office during the
last two years of his term, hence they
are not liable for the money he stole.
Bartley's term commenced January
! The law specifically declares that
the treasurer must qualify and file his
bond prior to that time. In this case
Governor Holcomb refused to approve
the bond January >, because of some
defect. The matter was then over.

approved. There are decisions that
would indicate that the state supreme
court has held in favor of the precise
position of the defense. In the mean
time BARLEY is in Jail under sentence

years. What was done with the stolen
money is a mystery which the present
trial is expected to clear

JPAES GREAT ENTERPRISE |
AMERICA.
LARGE APPROPRIATION Rv.,M.
PERlAL DIET.
TO INFORM AMERICANS HOW r0
MAKE TEA.

Several months ago. the Japanese
Tea Guild sent to this country a special
commission. composed of Mr.. s. Nit
suhash1. president of Shizuoka Prefec-
tural Assembly. and Mr.. ]. Ohara MEM
DER OF japanese parliament, to investi-
gate the condition of the japanese tea
trade In the United States and Canada,
and to Cooperate with Mr.. T. Furuya
and Mr.. T. Mizutany, the American
representatives Of the japanese Tea
Guild, In giving publicity to the merits
OF japanese teas and the method of
preparing them for drinking which
would Insure the best results.
Mr.. Furuya and Mr.. Mizutany are
planning to open tea bazars in many of
the principal cities in the United
states sand Canada. where ladies can
enjoy cup of fine japanese tea made
Dy experts, and at the same time re-
ce1ve instructions which will enable
them to make it equally we'll at home.
More than half the tea consumed in
the United States and Canada is of
japanese growth, yet, the majority of
Americans apparently do not under
stand how to prepare it so as to de-
velop the delicious qualities which 1t
contains. It is believed by these gen.
tlemen that when Americans are in
possession of the secret of making good
tea, the consumption in this country
Will fully equal that of Europe in pro-
portion. The japanese government
has appropriated a large fund to aid
the japanese tea growers and tea mer-
chants In prosecuting this educational
work, and it is hoped that American
ladies' will be apt students. The mair
bureau Of the japanese Tea Guild has
issued an Official recipe for making Jap
anese tea. the translation of which is
as follows:
First-Use a small, dry and thorough
~ clean porcelain teapot.
Sec0nd-Put in one teaspoonful of
tea leaves for each cup of tea desired.
Third-When using Japanese teas,
pour on the required quantity of fresh
boiled water. and let stand with closed
lid from 2 to 3 minutes. Never boil
the leaves. In order to retain the nat
ural flavor. japanese tea leaves should
be kept in tight can or jar, free from
moisture.
Note-To thoroughly enjoy the nat
nral. delicate. and sweet flavor of Jap
lnese teas. neither sugar nor cream
should be used.

BAD NEWS FROM DAWSON.

Stores and Restaurants Without Sug

SEATTLE, Wash, Oct 4.-Th
steamer Farrallone, which arrived thi'
morning from Skaguay, Alaska
brought 10 returning prospectors
among the number being Lonis Lang
who left Dawson City, August %. III
said: when left Dawson the store.
had stopped selling supplies and res
taurants had closed because they
could get nothing to cook. believe
that provisions will be scarce. although
many of the miners are leaving.
In my opinion 200 or 300 will come
out over the Dalton trail within the
next few weeks, while great many
others are going down by st. Michaels.
It was a great mistake in trading com
panies to bring so mnch whisky up
the river instead of supplies. Before
we left Dawson nine cattle had been
driven in and four of them butchered.
Choice cuts brought 81. so per pound,
I paid 81 and $:25 per pound for elk
meat As we wanted to get out as
quickly as possible, bought but very
few provisions, the entire pack of each
man, blanket and all. weigh
ing about sixty pounds. We came up
the river to Five Gingers and then out
over the Dalton trail We crossed the
summit September 81 in a snow storm
and had Indian guides to show us the
way. We had to wade knee deep in
snow. We met the Sharp party twelve
miles this side of the summit with
their cattle and it seemed to me
doubtful whether they would get in.
It took us just twenty-seven days to
get down to tide water"

TAMMANY SCORED.

Democratic Alliance Of Greater Msu
York Rs.mrns the Chicago Flatforn.
NEW YORK, Oct. AT the city
nominating convention of the Demo
cratic Alliance of Greater New York,
held last night, Henry George was
unanimously nominated for mayor.
The nominating speech was made BY
Charles Francis Adams. The nomin-
alton was greeted with enthusiastic
applause. The platform, in part, is as
follows:
''The Democratic Alliance is q BODY
of Democrats loyal to the policy Of
the great Democratic party. Our aim
and object was to find q basis for
united action of all Democrats in the
pending municipal contest We deemed
it essential that the Democratic party
of Greater New York should reafirm
the Chicago platform. pledge itself to
the policy of municipal ownership and
operation of franchises and to the
principles of direct employment in
stead of the contract system. The
action of the city convention of Sep
TENDER 30 is clear to all men. Tam
many and her allies hide away tho
national banner of Democracy, and
are ashamed to march under its folds
1.-THE Benedict Arnolds Of last fall,
who deserted to the enemy on the eve
of the battle, are to be restored to
places of honor and friendship; the
franchise grabbers are to retain their
clutch on the city's highways, by
Tammany's aid and connivance. Thus
Tammany and her allies separate
themselves in principle and policy
from the great Democratic party Of
the nation, and must be looked upon
solely as local body OF unprincipled
spoils-hunters, unfit to sit in the coun-
ellis of the party whose doctrine they
ignore and whose honor they betray."
