WARRANTS NOT CALLED FOR
County Commissioner Proposed to
Cancel Those Dated Prior
to January, 1S9S.

County Commissioner A. c. Harte has
had prepared and will submit to the Board
Of County Commissioners at Saturdays
meeting the following resolution:
Whereas, There are In the hands of the
county clerk number of warrants issued
prior to January l, 1888, and, according to
statute and the opinion OF the county at
torney, said warrants can be cancelled and
the amounts credited to the various funds
from which they are drawn; therefore be It
Resolved, That the county clerk be and
he is hereby instructed to cancel all war
rants issued prior TO the 1st of January,
1898, and that the same be credited to their
respective funds.
In explanation OF his resolution Commits
sioner Harte said: None of the warrants
is for more than $50, but there are a great
many of them, and so small that the per-
sons to whom payable will not take the
trouble to come and get them. Thus the
money represented on their face is tied up
and doing no good when the county might
as well be having the use Of it. l don't
know what the total amount represented
will be. but judge that 80 per cent of the
warrants, involving as they do witness and
Jury fees, are on the general fund, and we
can use more money in that fund very
handily."

CONFUSION IN THE CURRENCY
Captain Taylor Writes eff Present
Conditions In the Philip
pine ISLANDS.

A letter received yesterday from Captain
Wallace Taylor says there is much con-
fusion in the Philippines over the condi-
tion Of the currency. Nearly all business
Is transacted on the basis of payments In
Mexican money and the price OF all produce
varies with the value of that money in
gold, so that 1t is practically impossible
to know today what things are to cost to-
morrow.
He writes: 'The eontabulary with
which he is now connected) is kept busy
principally in the islands OF samar and
Leyte with the so-called fanaticos, a sect
which, being Christian in name, takes some
of the doctrines Of the Mahommedan re-
ligion and breaches that those who die in
conflict with the American authorities are
assured Of heavenly blessings. They wear
amulets and seem to court death, fighting
regardless Of numbers or hope Of success.
At the same time a dozen Americans are
sufficient to defeat a hundred or more Of
them, as they are not well armed and do
not know how to use the arms they have. -

Left High in the Air.

Just as he was ready to put on an expert
to tell from this evidence what charges
should be, the telephone company's friends
secured from the supreme court a decision
that the transportation board, which was
hearing the evidence, was unconstitutional,
and thereby left Mr. Yeiser so high in the
air that he couldn't get down in time to
catch up with the procession. Meanwhile
he had forced the populist convention OF
the state to incorporate a telephone regu-
lation clause in its platform and forced
Judge Holcomb to stand on the plank. He
flooded the state with a brief the size of
an unexpurgated edition Of Balzac and he
give the newspaper paragraphers something
to write about seven times a week. He
appealed to the common law, the pride Of
the people, all the gods Of mythology and
authenticity, and all the populists of Ne
braska, with and without whiskers.
Commenced in 1897, his fire was hot until
1901, when he took a final defeat and
decided that until somebody else was will
ing to put up for the ammunition, his battle
with the octopus would better be aban-
doned.

WARRIOR YEISER RELENTS
Rents Two Phones of His Antagonist in
Four Years Battle.
PEACE RElsNs DER A BLOODY FIELD
His Home Folks Think There Must
BE Some Mistake and Banish
the Enemy's Cohorts
from His Castle.

Away with the bloody sword, the Red
Cross society and the hospital ambulance
! up with the white flag of truce, the song
of Joy and the price of public utilities serv-
ice! John o. Yeiser has rented two tele-
phones, the war is at an end and all man
kind dwelling in peace and harmony
throughout the jurisdictionl Allah be
praised.
All that this means can be appreciated
only by those whose retrospective eye,
| travelling the CORY corridors OF the tag end
Of the last century, or from 1897 to 1901,
sees and recognizes the scars, the abrasions
and the blood stains lett by Yeiser and the
Nebraska Telephone company in their
struggle through the courts, the populist
conventions and the state legislature Of
Nebraska.
Yelser was in the legislature Of 1897 and
succeeded In having the Board of Transpor-
tation empowered to control and regulate
the telephone companies. Subsequently he
, went to the Omaha Office OF the Nebraska
/, company, which was then charging IS per
month for telephone service, and demanded
that a telephone be placed In his law ofice
for SO, alleging this to be a fair rental.
Three Sacred silver Dollars.
To make It good he formally rendered
three silver dollars. Those same three
dollars laid on the desk OF Auditor H. T.
Coe, where Yeiser put them, for more than
two years. No official would touch them
and the janitors came to view them as sa-
cred appurtenances to touch which would
be to court certain and immediate death.
Then began Yeisers four years war.
From Judge Cunningham r. Scott Of the
district bench he secured an alternative
writ Of mandamus and then a peremptory
writ. The company carried it up and the
supreme court held that Yeiser's relief lay
only in the State Board OF Transportation.
This board and Yeiser went to the private
office OF President c. e. Yost Of the tele-
phone company and for three weeks Yeiser
had the whole company, It's auditors and
its workmen, on the carpet telling every
thing they knew, from the depth of the
underground conduits to the heighth OF the
telephone poles, and from the thickness Of
the wire insulation to the number Of pay
days in February.

agents in different localities The hot
