committed. while in others there is q
plain alteration Of the books by eras-

The committee found no errors In
the accounts Of the present administers.

The report Is as follows:
"We, your committee appointed
under concurrent resolution No. 8, beg
leave 10 report as follows:
''That we have checked up the
school funds up to and including 1894.
That for the years 1894 and 1895 we

amount OF $50, ,949.73, which said sum
has never been turned over to the state

hereto annexed and marked Exhibit A,
showing the amounts collected and the
amounts for which the said clerk has
receipts. The balance, as shown, was
never turned over to the treasurer. but
the books were balanced by number

449. "a twice, when he had but one
receipt covering the amount; another
being raise OF $3, 1000 on receipt Of
the treasurer. and a number OF other
credits for which he held no receipts.
"We submit herewith statement
showing those we have found to date.
There may be others that we have
not found, owing to limited time at
our disposal. having used the greater
part of our time before We came to
this.
"For the past Eve years we find all
moneys turned over 10 the treasurer as
by law required. The present officers
have been very kind and obliging to us,
showing Us every courtesy possible,
and furnishing us with all papers and
books requested. In regard to invest
igation of land matters We beg leave
to say that our work is just fairly COM
menced. This is work OF no small
magnitude, and reqires vast amount
of careful and painstsking work, 1t is
work OF great Importance to the
state, however. and should be attended

other ministers resent this, saying it

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 22.-The vigil
ance Of the officers was all that saved
"slick" Slater from lyncblng by an
infuriated mob tonight. He will yet
be lynched II he can be found. Slater
assaulted I7.year-old Lottie Gerberick
Monday evening, and was captured by
the Topeka officers the next day at
Carbondale. This afternoon IL became
known that he was here, and immedi.
ately the Santa Fe shopmen, OF whom
the assaulted girls father, George Ger
berick Is one, decided that be should be
lynched. They at once sent commit
tee to watch the Jail while they quiet
ly arranged the details OF the expected
lynchiDe.
By 6oiclock there was an angry mob
Of 1000 around the Jail. demanding
that the prisoner be delivered to them.
A brigade Of sturdy boilermakers.
armed with heavy sledge hammers.
stood ready 10 make short work OF the
Jail In case the demands were not
granted. Sheriff Cook told the crowd
that the prisoner had been removed,
and offered {, let committee search
the Jail. Ten men, headed py George
Gerberick, made thorough search, but
Slater could not be found. They re-
turned and told the mob, but that did
not satisfy them, and twice they started
to break in the Jail doors.
Early in the afternoon, the sheriff.
in anticipation OF trouble. ordered
deputy to get Slater out Of town. He
was ordered not 20 leave him in Jack
son county nor to take him 10 Leaven-
worth. The deputy drove to Hoyt with
Slater and entered a north bound Rock
Island train. Ii is thought that Slater
is now in Jail in Atchison. The Santa
Fe shopmen are calmly determined to
lynch Slater wien he Is brought back
here tor trial. They have appointed q
large vigilance committee to be con-
stantly on the outlook, and VOW that
Slater will never leave Topeka alive.
The shopmen have past records in cases
Of this kind. They lynched John Oil

st. Louis. Feb. 22.-A special from
Mena, Ark. says: A mob of eight
determined men took Peter Bergman,
a desperate negro. out of the city Jail
at o'clock this morning and hanged
him to tree. The crime of which
Bergman was accused was an assault
on l2.year-old girl, whose condition
is critical. The masked men met
Night Officer Jones and compelled him
at the point of guns to hand over the
keys and his revolver. Two OF them
were left to guard Jones, while the
others went to the Jail and secured
the negro. About O'Clock they re-
turned to where the officer was being
guarded. and gave him his keys and
gun. Then the men quietly disap
peared without word.
About two months ago this negro at
tackled an engineer with an ak, nearly
killing him, and he has been guilty Of
numerous other offenses. Prompt &C.
ton was taken by the authorities, but
no clew has been found as to who are
the members of the mob.
