The 100000 theft OF Note Teller Al
word. of the First National Bank. fur
nishes an appropriate text for a few
remarks upon the cry so often heard
that the government should get cut
of the banking business and get out
OF every other business that can be
handled by private enterprise.
Alvord's dcfalcation is merely the
latest and greatest of n long list of
similar embeZzlements. The $lO6 600
Schroeder robbery has not yet had time
10 lose its freshness. In the past six
teen years there have been sixteen
great bank defacations in this imme-
date vicinity, an average OF one a
year. That is species OF Is TO l TO
which our bankers might better de-
vote their attention than to hunting for
Silver ghosts.
In 1884 the Second National Bank
lost $3,000000 through the mlsappropri-
alton of its president. John G. Emo
In 1890 j. J. Classcn and George II.
Pcll wrecked the Sixth National, I.enoX
Hill and Equitable Banks, with loss
of n million dollars.
In 1891 the death OF John 4. Hill.
president of the Ninth National. re-
vealed thefts OF 100000
In 1894 Samuel c. Seeley. a book
keeper looted the Shoe and Leather
National Bank of $4,000. Seeley's
brother-in- law was arrested a few
months later for taking $50. goo from the
same bank.
The next year Edwin Q. Quigley got
$lA,000 from the Mercantile National
Bank on forged bonds.
Other defalcations were scattered
through the Intervening years.
Apparently it is easier for an en-
ploycc 10 rob a bank than for n conf
dence man TO sell gold brick to a
farmer. In the Schroeder case a clerk
earning SIS week lived for two years
mt the rate of $4,000 a year, was a
conspicuous figure every night in the
Iehderloln, maintained n mistress in q
sumptuous establishment. was a lavish
patron of jewellers and dressmolsers

N CLAIMS A
Republicans and Pusionists Claim STATE
Ticket and Legislature.

TICKET anu iegtslHturc.
Lincoln, Nov. 1O.-The state Journal
this morning says: Dietrich is elected
governor by n plurality approximating
1900. Figures have been received by
the Journal from eighty-six of the
ninety counties, and these give him
1850 plurality. The missing counties
are Banner Box Butte, Mcpherson and
Nuckolls. In 1898 these counties gave
Hayward 9, lOi and Poyntcr e,4iS. Re-
publican gains are expected in these
counties.
IL seems to be conceded that the
republican state ticket from governor
down, has been elected. The candi-
dates on the ticket below governor
seem TO have III stronger than Diet
rich.
The republicans will have a majority
in o houses Of the legislature. IL
Is believed the senate will stand eigh-
teen republican and fifteen fusionists.
In h house the republicans will have
H~fty-thrce members. against forty
seven for the ~fusionists.
The republican state committee
claims the election of Dietrich by a
majority exceeding one thousand, a
majority in both houses of the legis.
~lature, and the election OF the entire
state ticket. IL is not believed these
claims will be found wrong when the
official count Is made.
Private Secretary Jewell said last
night at 1880 that official returns
from sixty-four counties show n ma.
jority of 2,2sl for Poynter. OF the
twenty-six counties not yet In Hay.
ward carried thirteen and Poynter
carried thirteen two years ago, but
Hayward carried his thirteen counties
with a majority Of LAS over Poynter.
Deducting this majority from a,2sl
caves "a majority of 1913 for Poynter.
But" said Mr. Jewell, ''the average
loss OF Poynter in the Hayward coun.
ties is 33s, which taken from 500 still
still leave Poynter n majority of 495."
When Mr.. Jewell was asked IL he
could not concede Mr.. Dietrich's cleo
ton, he said he would not concede any.
thing until the official count was made.
Chairman j. II. Edminsten, OF the
pOpulist state central committee, said
the entire fusion state ticket was elect
ed, including q majority of both houses
OF the legislature. He declined, how.
ever, TO give the basis of his claim, but
asserts that he had official figures. He
said he did not care 20 tell how many
counties had been heard from, or to
give any details Of his estimate.

MUST CEASE SHIPPING COAL
Miners' Union Delivers Ultimatum u
Operators.

A Springfield, H., dispatch Of No
vember 0 says the state executive
board Of the United Mine Workers Of
America a short time ago sent u cir
culars to coal operators who were
shipping into Decatur, requesting
them to discontinue shipping there, AZ
miners In Decatur did not have work
enough to employ them In consequence
Of these shipments. Some of the ope.
rators claimed they had contracts still
pending and asked that they be per-
mitted to protect such contracts.
To this the executive board Of the
miners agreed, but issued another cir.
cular calling attention to the first cir.
cular and this agreement, and stating
that operators have violated their
promises with the exception Of those
ut Lincoln and have continued to ship
coal In as large quantities rs before the
request was made. The miners exec
utive board notifies operators that all
outside shipments Of coal, contract,
domestic or otherwise, must cease.
