Lincoln. Neb.. Dec. 9.-The decision
Of the district court in declaring the
bondsmen of eX-Treasurer Joseph s.
Bartley not liable for his shortage was
reversed in an opinion rendered yes
terday by Lhe supreme court The
amount directly involved is 1901 900,
which sum BARLEY took from a state
depository bank, for which he was con-
victed of embez2lement and sentenced
to the penitentary, where he now is.
Indirectly the decision affects Bartley's
whole shortage of nearly 100000, and
which it now seems probable the bonds
men will have to pay.

He often spoke to his chum Col Her of the happiness the realization of this dream would bring to him, and when ne coud get Willie into some quiet cor her he would hold forth for hours on his peculiar ability to distinguish himself as a dispenser of the fragrant Julep and the seductive cocktail So one Fourth of July night. after the show at which they were then playing at the california Theater had concluded, the pair of them foated into a saloon on hearny street, and Reed, addressing the proprietor of the place. said: Levy, Col Her and myself have been discussing your place and have come to the con- clusion that if we threw all the poor drinks you have given Us into the bay there wouldn't be shrimp sober enough Tn the city to go into a respectable salad Now, suppose you and your brother get out from behind the bar and let Collier and myself get in and show you how to run things.

THE GAS QUESTION.
The Motter Brought Up Before the
 Street Liqht Committee.

The question of the quality of gas fur nished to the citizens of San Francisco was before the Street Light Committee of the Board of Supervisors again yester- day.
 President Crockett of the gas company objected to certain statements made in the public prints regarding the quality of gas furnished by his concern, and said that while London gas, as had been stated was made from coal. 1t was not nearly so powerful as the gas furnishe ed to San Francisco. and that the ratepayers of this city demand a high-power illu- minant.
 It was decided to take the matter up again next week, and in the meantime tests of the gas will be arranged for.
