WALNUT WHISPERINGS.

The wheatln this palt Of the coun-
ty is looking the best we have seen
Tor several years in the month of
March. 1t has nothing so far to i'm
pure it. That old green bug halucina.
ton has only reached here in the
form OF rumor. We are very much
like the fellow down east in regard to
the green bug. A fellow witt a patent
churn can cause more trouble in an
agricultural community than the green
bug.
The new tax law is one of the lead
ing topics our people are discussing
the pros and cons Of while they are
setting around basking in this lovely
March sun,
Thee seems to be considerable
dissatisfaction especially with the
man when the assessor visits his
domicile, inspects and lists his per-
Sonal belongings putting down what
price his judgement directs.
Some one, evidently for joke, toIc
that all setting hens would be listed
at 40cts piece. Further that many
person between Albert and Pawnee
Rock were breaking up every setting
hen till the officers had gone by.
This story is prepoStorous on tht
face of ii so we think. We would fur.
ther Say mat man might be hoodwiik
ed into Gellevlng such stories bu
woman who is credited with having
five times as much sense as a mai
would neve o. foolish enough tc
break up setting hen in March.

In another place in this issue of
this paper will. be found an ex-
planatory statement of the condi
tion of the First National Bank of
Great Bend. as made to the comp
troller of the currency at the
close Of business on February IA,
1908. The comptroller of the
currency can make a call on the
national banks of the country for a
statement any time that be may
see fit, and the banks do not know
when such a call is to be made.
AL of our readers have seen these
bank statements published at dlffe-
rent times, but doubtless there are
a large number of them who have
never thoroughly understood just
what they meant. In the state
ment published::in this issue there
is a short explanation following
each item given, showing Just
what each set of figures are and
what relation they bear to the
banks business
And incidentally we nigh say
that the statement shows very
hattering state of affairs at the
First National.

MONEY SENT TO NEBRASKA IN 1904
NOT CONTRIBUTED BY THOS. F. RYAN
New York World Story Calculated to nure Bryan Exploded
by William F. Sheehan.

New York, June 5.-Whatever money
was sent to Nebraska for use in the cam
paign of 1904 was taken from the gen
eral fund of the Democratic national
committee, which was made up Of vOlun-
tary contributions from many persons.
according TO a letter written by William
F. Sheehan of this city to William J.
Bryan at Lincoln, Neb. on June l. and
made public today. The letter bears upon
the allegation which has been published
that Thomas F. Ryan contributed $1,000
10 the state campaign in Nebraska in 1904
through William +. Sheehan. chairman of
the Democratic national committee, who,
II was charged, gave the money 10 T. s..
Allen OF Nebraska.
In making the contents of the letter pub
lie, Mr.. Sheehan's representative today
called attention TO the fact that it bore
date of June I. and said that there was
no delay on Mr. Sheehan's part In notify
ing Mr.. Bryan of the facts.
The letter follows.
Il have read the article published in
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-06-06

the New York World on May 30 last re-
lating 10 campaign expenditures in the
state of Nebraska in 1904. In view of
the fact that / was chairman of the exec
utive committee of the Democratic ma
uOnal committee in that campaign. per-
nit me to say that whatever money was
sent 10 the state of Nebraska was taken
from the general fund, which money was
made up of voluntary contributions from
many persons. Why there should be any
criticism of this particular expenditure l
am at a loss to understand The trans
action was perfectly legitimate one on
both sides. There was not the slightest
suggestion at the time from anybody that
you had any knowledge of the subject or
that knowledge of the transaction was to
be brought home to you. / think it is
probably needless for me to say that
neither directly or indirectly was | respOn-
sible for the publication in question, and
were 1t not for the fact that I believe an
act or Injustice has been done you /
would not even say what ! have in this
letter. Yours truly,

ACTOR JAILED
WITHOUT BAIL
Trial of Raymond Hitchcock
Postponed on His Coun-
SePS Request.

New York, June Raymond Hitch
cock, the comedian. was committed TO
the Tombs prison without bail this
afternoon. when his trial on charges
preferred by little girls. which began
today, was suddenly adjourned until
next Monday.
The adjournment came when Hitch
cocks counsel conferred privately
with Justice Golf, Immediately after
the first Juror had been selected. At
the conclusion of the conference JUS
tice Goff announced that in view of
what the attorney had told him ne
would adjourn the case until Monday.
and in the meantime Hitchcock would
be remanded TO the Tombs prison
without bail
Mr. Hitchcock's council, Mr.. Steuer,
said ne asked for adjournment be-
cause he had just been retained by
Hitchcock and was not familiar with
the case. He said that Justice Goff
committed Hitchcock without any
suggestion from him or the assistant
district attorney.
Former Charge Failed.
At a previous trial on a similar
charge the case against the actor fell
fat when one of the compliments,
Flora Winston, on the witness stand
declared that under the influence Of
an agent of the Society for Prevention
of Cruelty to Children she had per-
iured herself before the grand jury
that indicted Hitchcock.
The complainant in the case called
today is Helen Won Hagen. and the al
legations sworn to by Flora Winston
and Elsie Voecks. the other alleged
victims, are expected TO figure in the
trial.
The trial of Flora Winston on a
charge of perjury will be begun i'm
