The Board of County Commissioners at its
regular meeting yesterday concurred in
tho action of the city council with reference
to the construction of a bicycle track along
Thirtieth street from the end of the pave
ment rear Fort Omaha to the village of

construct the track from the city limits to
Florence after the city shall have constructed
its portion, provided that the city shall keep
the track in repair. The report was unani-
mously adopted.
A resolution by Mr. Hoctor instructed e,

he Posted.
The rotunda OF the city hall was deco
rated yesterday with reminder Of one Of
the provisions of the new city charter. This
is a huge bill board on which are to be
posted such public documents as are of pub
licdnterest. s The board Is far from enhancing
the attractiveness Of the rotunda and ex-
cites more ridicule than curiosity. Clerk
Highly says that with the amount of steno-
graphic work already required in his office
1t will be an impossibility with his present
force to get out the posters for the bill
board. 1t will be necessary to employ a
stenographer for that especial purpose for
couple of days after every council meet

HELD FOR EMBEZZLEMENT
0. Christensen Of Holdrege Arrested at the
Oxford Hotel in This City Yesterday.
DtERING COMPANY MAKES A COMPLAINT
Had Been Employed ms Collector for
Several Years and Failed to
Report Part of the Money
in His Hands.

Upon information in a telegram received d
from Sheriff Knudson OF Holdrege C.. Chris
tenson was arrested yesterday afternoon at
tho Oxford hotel on the charge Of embezzle-
ment. The prosecutors in the case are the
members of the Deering Harvester company
OF Chicago. who allcge that Christensen col
locted 1000 or more while in their employ
for five years and turned it into his own
pocket.
The accused man was employed by the
harvester company for five years previous
to some time last fall. He was collector
for Nebraska. II is alleged that he made
collections in all parts of the state, which
he failed to account for, but the specific
charges have been picked out in the county
In which Holdrege is located. The prose
cution Is being directed from the company's
headquarters in Chicago. Ed MCGEE, the
local agent, was instrumental in bringing
about the arrest, but he is unable to state
the amount it is charged the prisoner en-
bezzled
Christensen says that there is nothing in
the case against him. After his arrest he
SAID that he had made a settlement in full
with the company. but the latter claimed
balance on expense bills and for alleged
collections which he never made. He said
also that he had been held responsible for
bills which he never collected. He would
not talk much before consulting an attor-
ney.
Since the severance of his connection with
the company, which occurred some months
ago, Christensen has not been employed to
any considerable extent. The local agents
OF the company say that they have been
looking for him, but have never succeeded
in getting him. He has been in the city
number of times, stopping at different hotels.
On his last visit he was at the Oxford hotel
and was arrested there. He was registered
under the name Of Jacobsen. With him was
a woman.
Christensen has been living at Hastings,
where his wife and family reside. 1t is
stated that some time ago he deserted them
and left with domestic who had been in
the employ of the family OF Supreme Court
Commissioner Ragan. This was the woman
who was with him when he was arrested.
Sheriff Sam Knudson of Holdrege arrived
in the city yesterday afternoon and took
charge of Christensen. He states that the
amount alleged to have been embezzed will
probably exceed $1,000, as many of the COL
lections were made from farmers who have
not reported the amounts paid. The sheriff
will return to Holdrege with his prisoner
today.

About o'clock the ice which had been
gathering above Florence, broke. 1t looked
serious for a time, but, as the river was
clear, the ice passed down the channel with
out doing any damage.
There was no damage reported anywhere
between Florence and Omaha yesterday
AS the river was free from Instructions from

GRAYS FORCtrUL PROTESTS.

In the course of the debate over the
wool schedule OF the Tariff bill in the
United States Senate, last week, Sena-
tor Gray OF Delaware took an effective
part, He said he was confirmed in
his Judgment of tha injustice of high
wool duties by the conflicts between
the wool.grower and the wool manu-
faeturer, echoed in the Senate. Why
not leave this TO the commercial activi.
ties ot free and enlightened peop le,
asked the Senator, instead OF disturbing
natural and normal conditions. Mr..
Gray declared it was time for revolt
against the demands of the Wool
Growers Association. "lf those who
oppose these high duties on wool are to
be considered enemies" said he, they
must take their position OF enemies and
they will not be lncking in resources to
make their opposition felt. " This extra
session of Congress was called for the
primary purpose OF framing law giving
adequate revenue, ana it was infamous,
he asserted, that this revenue measure
could not pass until toll was levied ON
the great mass of poor people of the
country-the woarers OF clothing and
users of hlRnkets--in order to increase
the profits of the wool growers.
The Senator referred to the "un
seemiy sight" of greedy interests con.
tending here for the amount OF benefits
they were TO receive, instead Of leaving
the representatives Of the people to leg
islate for the whole people.
Mr.. Gray closed with an arraignment
of the policy of isolating this country
from the advantages other countries
and climates could extend.
During the discussion of the Tariff
bill in the United States Senate, Thurs
day, Senator Gray of Delaware pro.
tested against the heavy rates on dress
goods
Mr.. Gray remarked that these heavy
rates demanded an explanation, to which
Mr.. Allison stated that they wers due
first to the compensation required by
the increased duty on raw wool, and,
second, to the desirs 10 encourage
A american industries at the expense of
the foreign makers,
Mr.. Gray exhibited samples OF henri
ettas. serge9 and other wolnen's dress
goUds, pointing out that the cost on
some would be advanced from 90 to 81
cents yard. others from 10 to 25 cents
yard, &C., or from 81 TO 81 on every
ordinary house dress.
Mr.. Warren answered that Yankee
Ingenuity could produces the goods eS-
hibited by Mr.. Gray quite as well as
tho foreign facto ry, and that competi-
tion among the American manufact-
urers would asep down the prices to
the consumer. lie also spoke of the
decrease of the number of sheep under
the Wilson bill.
''lf the American people submit to
these outrageous rates at the polls, y
responded MIR. Gray, 'thcu there are
more sheep in the United States than
