EATONTON BRXNCH's RENTAL.
Judge PRrdee to Decide whether
the Central Shall Pay.

the Central Shall Pay.
Mr.. Chas. n. West will leave to-day for
New Orleans, where he goes to appear be-
fore Judge Don A. Pardee of the United
States circuit court, in the matter of the
Intervention of the Eatonton Branch rail-
road in the Central railroad litigation.
At the time Justice Jackson gave the
leased lines of the Central the right to
elect whether they would remain with the
Central and receive only such amount for
rental as they might earn, or withdraw
from it, the Eatonton Branch withdrew.
At that time it had a claim for rental
against the Centrals receivers for a year
and half amounting to $2l 900, which was
disputed and contested.
The question as to whether that rental
should be paid comes up before Judge Par
dee tomorrow, ana the case will no doubt
be an interesting one.

Feeding Fish to Seals.

Since the seal family at the zoo has
increased to seven members the big
.anks In which they reside are sought
out by great numbers of visitors, and
especially at 4 o'clock each afternoon
the crowds gather around to see Keep
er Geiger perform with his pets. At
that hour the keeper comes out with a
bucket of fish In his hand, trots along
a plank ver the surface OF the water
to a mound OF rocks In the enter of
the tank and assumes a heroic pose on
top OF the eminence. Then with an in
troductory bow to the audience he
whistles to the seals and distributes the
fish. The seals cluster about him at
the base OF the mound In a picturesque
group and reach up their heads to re-
ceive the food, which he deftly losses
down their yawning mouths. II the
fish go in head first they are gulped
down with an avidity hat would put

face OF the seals mouth and cause mo-
mentary choking. When the fish are
tossed into the water and have to be
dived for the seals never make a mis-
take but invariably swallow them the

Attorney-Gcncrai smyth Goes After tn,
Missing Cash.

Smyth Goes After the
Missing Cash.
Attorney-Gcneral Smyth. on behalf
of the state Of Nebraska. commenced
suit in the district court at Lincoln
Saturday aft ernoon against ex-Auditor
Eugene Moore and his bondsmen. John
T.. Hill. W. c. Miller, John Taylor,
John b. Wright and w. l.. Dayton.
He asks for judgment against them In
the sum of s23, POS. O5.
The petition resembles the criminal
complaint filed against the ex-auditor
in that il contains nine counts which
are devoted to a detailed recital of the
collection and appropriation of the
funds. Nine breaches of the bond are
alleged. The first three recite the con-
version to his own use by Mr.. Moore of
SIG, 72s. So. The next three infractions
are Ms appropriating Sl5,470.20 The
seventh breach is his failure to pay
these funds to his successor or the
state treasurer. IL is further claimed
that he has violated the covenants of
the bond and Judgment is asked against
his bondsmen for $23, 7as.O 5 The state
asks interest on $40, 40. 20 from Janu-
airy 3, 1895. and on ST., 7as. s5 from jan
nary l. 1896.
The petition ~recites that Mr.. Moore
entered upon the duties of the Office of
state auditor on January 3, 1895, and
continued to act until January :, 1897,
when he surrendered to his successor,
John +. Cornell. IL was his duty To
collect all moneys for services per-
formed by him as auditor and fpay all
such to the state treasurer and to turn
over all funds that came into his hands
at the expiration Of his term to his
successor.
The petition alleges that Mr.. Moore
was his own s Iccessor when lie entered
upon his dut .es in 1898, and that he had
s432.l5 which he paid to the treasure,
on January "a, 1898. That sum COM
pleted the payment of funds for his
first term. making sa7, 264.45 which he
collected.
The plaintiff relates that since the
election of j. ID. Meserve as state treas
urer, Mr.. Moore has paid 81, 1000. This
sum being deducted from SGT, 2Os. O5,
Mr.. Moore is still indebted to the state
In the sum of S23, 9Os. O5.
