A THIEF'S THIN EXCUSE.
Nebraska's Ex State Auditor Trying
to Escape Consequences of
Stealing $23,O 900

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 22.-Insisting that
under the statutes he had committed no
crime, Eugene Moore, ex-state auditor
of public accounts, today pleaded not
guilty to embezzling funds to the extent
of $23, ,2OS Moore's contention is that the
money, which consisted of insurance fees,
should, under the law, have been paid to
the state treasurer instead of to himself,
and that he is responsible only to the in
surance companies by which the money
was paid.
This action due to an understand
ing between the attorneys for the prose-
cution and the defense and the case will
go to the supreme court, whatever the
decision of the lower court may be.

TOUCHED BY THE TARIFF.
Foreign Tailors and Costume Makers
Will Start Branches Here.

New York, Sept. 22.-Customs officers
are talking over a well authenticated
report that Poole, the London tailor;
Worth, the Partisan dressmaker and
other celebrated European outfitters,
intend shortly to open branch eStab blish-
ments in New York.
The Dingley bill has made sad in
roads on the profits of these concerns.
So long as Americans could bring into
this country any amount of personal
effects duty free, the European makers
thrived.
Americans made trips to Europe with
hand bag and returned with so or 60
trunks filed with the very latest Lon
don or Partisan dainties in the wearing
apparel line.
To say that Americans spend on these
necessaries alone 81 ,000, 900 in Europe a
year, would be giving a very modest
amount. The Dingley clause placing a
duty on all baggage over 800 in value
compels tourists to buy goods in this
country They are not coming home
with enormously filled trunks as of
yore.
Meanwhile the European emporiums
are suffering. Poole, it is related, has
said that the Dingley law will make
him lose $4,000 a year. This means
that his American trade, once large,
is falling to minimum. Worth too,
has said that the new United States
tariff law has already caused him an
estimated annual loss of $12, 500
Other European firms of not as great
magnitude these, but still doing an
extensive business with Americans,
make similar melancholy statements.

u. s. CROP REPORT.
Dry Weather Reduced Corn Crop
Materially in Many States.

Washington, Sept. 22.-The weather
bureau, in it's report of crop conditions
for the week ended September 20, says:
The week has been favorable for ripen-
ing and securing crops, but in the CEN
traI Mississippi and Ohio valleys Ten
neSsee and other portions of the middle
south Atlantic states, it has been too
dry for fallowing and seeding of fall
grain.
The exceptionally warm weather of
the first half of the month matured corn
rapidly and has placed nearly the whole
crop beyond injury from frost. Owing
to drouth conditions in some of the
more important states, the grain, par
ticularly the late crop, did not fill well
and the reports indicate that much will
be chaffy.
Cutting has progressed rapidly under
favorable conditions and in some more
important corn states will be practi-
cally completed by the end of Septem-
ber.
Cotton has continued to open very
rapidly and picking has been vigorous
ly carried on. The reports indicate
that the bulk of the crop will be secured
by Oct. Is.
The weather conditions on the Pacific
have been favorable, the absence of
rain in California being especially ad-
vantageouS for curing raisins and dry
ing fruit. In Oregon and Washington
the damage to grain by rains of the two
preceding weeks is considered light.

ENGLAND GAINS HER POINT
In Central Africa Without Any More
Fighting.

Paris, Sept. 22.-The Figaro says that a
treaty has been concluded between Slatin
Pasha, representing Great Britain, and
Zoben Pasha, representing the Mahdi by
which the latter will not oppose the adj
vance of the Anglo-Egyptian expedition
as far as Khartoum and Osman Digna's s
forces will remain at the Bara river so
long as Great Britain desires.
The following said to be the condi-
tions upon which this treaty was signed:
1.-The Mahdi remains King of Khar-
toum and Zoben Pasha continues to ex-
ercise the functions of governor of Dar-
fur, under the protection of Great Brit
aim
The Figaro also asserts that the mis-
sion of Mr.. James Denni1 Rodd to the
King of Abyssinia obtained a promise of
neutrality upon the part of King Menelik
by guaranteeing the western frontier of
Abyssinia in the names of both Great
Britain and the Mahdi.

May MARRY AN AMERICAN.
Prince Alexander of Teck Said to Be
Negotiating for the Hand of
Miss Mary Goelet

London, Sept. 22-The announcement
that one of the Princes of the house of
Teck would soon visit America and take
unto himself an American bride, which
has been going the rounds OF the press,
has more foundation in fact than is
generally accredited to it,
The name of the prince concerned is
not George; 1t is Alexander but that is
immaterial SO long as he remains the
brother of the future Queen of Eng
land.
This young man may it Is asserted
become the husband of Miss Mary Goe-
let. daughter of the late Ogden Goelet
AT the time of Mr.. Goelet's death, ne
gotiations were pending which can be
even more easily concluded by his wild
ow and the young Iady's guardians,
which make for an alliance of the house
of Teck and Goelet.
The Goelets have a firm footing in
British society. Mrs. Goelet's sister
married a Herbert, and the Herberts
have long found favor at Windsor and
in the royal circle generally.
Prince Alexander of Teck for a year
or more has paid court to the young
Queen of Holland, but from all accounts
his suit has been of no avail and is
about to be abandoned.

TO PAY UP AND QUIT.
The Bennington Bank Will Pay OFF
its Depositors.

The Bennington Banking company
has notified the state bank commission
er that the bank has opened it's doors
for the purpose of paying off depositors
and closing out it's business
A few days ago Mr. Breidenthal re-
ceived letter from the bank stating
that c. Nelson, the owner, was dead,
and asking if the institution could con-
tinue to do business, having been con-
Quoted as a private bank.
The commissioner replied that the
death of Mr.. Nelson would make it nee
essary for the bank to cease receiving
deposits, or if deposits were received
it would increase the liability of the
Nelson estate, which could not, he
holds, be legally done.
The commissioner did not question
the solvency of the institution. 1t has
a capital of SIG, 600, but is not incor-
porated. The commissioner has always
urged upon private banks the necessity
of Incorporating, and the fact that this
bank is compelled to close up its busi-
ness because of having failed to take
those steps, is an argument in favor of
Mr.. BreidenthaPs contention that it
should be done.

THIS OUTBREAK VERY MILD.
Scarcely Anybody Dying of Yellow
Fever This Time.

New Orleans Sept. 22.-There were
nine new cases of yellow fever reported
to the board of health yesterday after
noon at o'clock when the days work
of the physicians ended. There were,
however. no deaths recorded and the
doctors all agreed that the situation
was steadily Improving The fever at
present, instead of developing into
malignant type, is as mild. if it is no
milder, than when it first appeared
here. as witness % cases in two days
without a single death. The inspectors
of the board of health report that most
of the cases that had come under their
vorably- There are only two cases
which give the attending physicians
any reason for alarm.
Some new places of infection are in
cluded in the cases reported today but
it is stated that each one of the pa
tients is doing well.
Up to the present time there has been
little dread of the fever. Sporadic cases
are appearing about town but the board
of health thus far has been enabled
successfully to quarantine each case
that has appeared. Confidence locally
is steadily increasing. There never was
a large measure of apprehension in
New Orleans. but the city seems now
to have settled down to the belief that
there is absolutely no danger of an ep-
idemic, that within a very brief space
of time, even before frost, the phySi-
clans will have succeeded in complete
ly stamping out the sickness. A num-
Der of cases were discharged yesterday
and today, and the total number of
cases receiving attention today does
not exceed ten Half a dozen towns
