LINCOLN , 0t. 114. ( Spo = lal. ) Krom re
ports received from fifty-one counties In Ne
braska Labor Commissioner Kent has c m-
plcted an estimate of the sizeof the dlff.T-
111 grain crops In the state for the year
1SH9. Whllo necessarily Incorrect bc auss
many of the counties failed to report the
< stlmatc , It may bo considered representa
tive of the entire yield of the state , prob
ably n llttlo below the- correct figures. It
la known that In a number of counties
which failed to report the yield of the dlffer-
tnt cropH wore cnuch larger this year than
last , but In the estimate of the labor com
missioner no allowance is nindo for the In
crease , the estimate for the state being
based on the Increase or decrease In the
counties which submitted reports.
The estimate of the labor eommlssijnor ,
which Includes the estimated number of
horses and live stock , Is here given In com
parison with the report for last year :

The legislature of 1897 provided for the
gathering of Industrial statistics and di
recting the county assessors to make care
ful reports of the number of manufacturing
establishments found In their respective
districts , the amount of money inevatcd In
the same , the number of hands employed
nnd the wages paid the same. This was
calculated to cover every branch of bualnefa
In which laborers were employed and to
show the actual amount of capital Invested
BO that the statistical tables would bo of
some value In showing the resources and
liabilities of the stato. The assessors wcro
to make these reports to the county clerks
w'ho would In turn use them In making a
full county report to the commissioner ot
labor. Quito a number of the counties have
made no reports whatever nnd figures ro-
colve < l from other- are far from being cor
rect. Consequently the Industrial report
will , ns last year , bo rather Inaccurate.
Many of the counties reported only on corn
nnd wheat nnd some on live stock and not
on grain.
Tnlfew No Action.
Auditor Cornell has taken no action on
the salary claim of J. G. P. Hlldcbrnnd ,
chief clerk In the now Insurance depart
ment. The claim IB for services rendered
during the quarter "beginning July 1 and
ending October 30. " Mr. Hlldebrnnd failed
to explain why lie figured a quarter as being
four months and asked lor only three
months' salary. Auditor Cornell will ot
course refuse to allow the claim until after
the decision of the supreme court regardIng -
Ing the Weaver act.
Congressman Burkett is recovering from
n relapse after a severe attack of appendi
citis. His physicians think ho will bo nblo

The annual meeting of the Superin
tendents' nnd Principals' association of Ne

Ing after the election of officers for Iho

are : President. A. H. Waterhouso , Omaha ;
vice president , W. L. Stephens , Falrbury ;
secretary , Cella M. Burgert , Beatrice.
A detailed course of study for grades has
been outlined by the association , 'based on
the following report ot the special commit
tee :
"The purpose of the work in English
should bo to secure 'freedom ' of expression ,
to secure correctness of expression , to en
large the vocabulary , to teach pupils to con
nect both oral nnd written expression with
thought , nnd to correlate literature with
technical English ns a medium of culture.
"These five purposes Involve many things
each of which is , In Itself , ot theutmosi
Importance. With the llrst , however , the
primary teacher Is most concerned. It Is
easy to say , 'encourage the child to express
himself , ' but to do this In tbo bent sense Is
n altogether different matter. To obtain
freedom of expression there must bo flrsi
created n , desire for expression , and herein
lies the teacher's paramount responsibility
To select these topics of conversation which
como within the understanding and environ
ment of the pupils requires much tact.
"Every lection In the curriculum Is , In a
certain sense , a , language lesson , and as
such should bo borne In mind by the teacher
Oaro must bo taken not to Interfere with
the thought or make thought Impossible b >
untimely correction or criticism , These

HIS POLITICAL RECORD IN NEBRASKA
Appointment Ilfcomrn Effective JIN

Quiilllluntluii
The Vitculit 3IiimliulMhll ) .
The appointment of George H. Thuramcl ,
present United States marshal for this dis
trict , to the clerkship of the United States
circuit court , adjusts an unsettled condition
that has existed In the federal building
since the death of Oscar H. Hlllls , June 22 ,
Mr. Hlllis came hero from Minneapolis to
take the clerkship of the circuit and dis
trict courts jointly. In Minneapolis ho had
for thirteen years been an attache o ! the
government building , and had by hla fidelity
nnd general qualifications , won the esteem
and endorsement of Judge Sanborn and
other authorities.
After the death ot Mr. Hlllls , It , C. Hoyt
acted as clerk of both courts until September
6 , when ho was appointed clerk of the dis
trict court. In that capacity Mr. Hoyt con
tinued to look after tbo circuit court , ho
having formerly been a deputy clerk , Now
comes the appointment of Marshal Thum
mel , which relieves Mr. Hoyt of bis double
task. Mr. Thummel will take his now posi
tion as soon ns he qualifier. That will be
within a few days.
This appointment will leave a vacancy
which Is causing much speculation among
politicians and men ot affairs generally. At
the government building , not even a guess
can bo obtained as to the probable successor
of Marohal Thummel. It Is a positive propo
sition , however , that an appointment must
be made In order that the office of marshal
shall not bo left vacant. U Is said that
aspirants have already burdened the wires
with endorsements. Marshal Thummel's
change was made Friday , but the official
announcement did not come until yesterday
afternoon ,
Mr. Thummel Is a Grand Island man.
Prior to his appointment ns marshal he wan
the senior member nt Grand Island of the
firm of Thummel & Pearnc , lawyers. Ho
was born in IIHnola In 1848 , and remained
tfiero until he was ono year beyond his
majority. Ho graduated from Belolt college -
lego , Wlsionsln , and came to Nebraska In
1870 , Ho hag since resided continuously In
this state. In 1871 he was a member of the
constitutional convention which met In Lin
coln , nnd In 1S77 ho was a distinguished
member of the state senate. He has been
honored with the chairmanship of state
conventions and was a delegate-nt-large to
the convention In which President McKlnlcy
was nominated. Another distinctive feature
In Mr. Thummel's career Is the fact that ho
was the first appointee under the McKlnlcy
administration In thU stato.

SIMPLY A GRAND STAND PLAY
Shield * Attriiiiitn to Mnlto Political
CniiHnl Out of Ihi > SluiUert
CIMC.
Many facts were brought out during the
hearing ot Monahan and Downs , the alleged
Shukert fur robbers , and afterward , Indi
cating pretty clearly the county attorney's
motive for ordering the men arraigned. The
Incidents gtigerated politics , nnd the
suggestion was strengthened , both by the
presence of G. M. Hitchcock of the World-
Hcrald , who cat at the county attorney's
elbow during the proceedings , and by the
attorney's badgering nttltmlo toward wit
nesses and the purport of ho ! questions.
The hearing presented the spectacle of at
torneys for the state trying to Impeach their
own witnesses. The queries were of n kind
Intended to elicit statements damaging to
i the police department , rather than to pro
duce proof of the suspects' complicity In the
I robbery of Shukert's fur store. Attorney
Shields frequently had recourse to bluffing
and attempting to Intimidate the wltncBses
Into giving the answers he wished them to
make. ,
When Marie Anderson took the stand nnd
testified that she could not Identify the. men
before her thn county attorney was plainly
chagrined. There was a hasty whispered
consultation between him und the deputy
who conducted the examination.
"Do you persist that you are unable to
Identify throe men ? " the deputy asked.
The reply was In the affirmative.
"Then tell the court the reason why you
cannot Identify them , " ivaj the deputy's
Instruction.
The Anderson woman turned to the court
with the remark , "Because I can't say I ever
saw them before. "
"I'll have her arrested , " mumbled the
county attorney In an undertone , but the
words wcro audible In all parts of the court
room , and the witness , glancing In his direc
tion , ehowed In her look the fear that the
threat would be executed.
Both the women positively declare I they
never told Attorney Shields they could Iden
tify the supjiects. "When Shields and his
assistant < carne to our room , " .Marie Ander
son stated , "there was very llttlo said about
the two men under arrest , but I am sure we
made no remarks that can possibly bo con
strued to mean wo know the men. Moat ol
the questions atkcd us referred to the police
department and their work In recovering
the stolen furs. Mr. Shields charged mo
with being a friend nf Tom Dennlson , a man
I do not know. Ho tried several times tj
trap me Into an admission that I am a frlcm :
of mto I have never even heard of and at
no time have I stated to anyone that I can
Identify thco cnen , because I can't. "
Chief White explained this morning why
the furs were sent to Chicago Instead of
Omalm. Ho said ho had no Idea where the
garments were. AVonl was sent to him , he
stated , by friends of the prisoners that II
ho would go to Chicago ho might receive
there .certain packages by oxprens. The
chief uald ho would have gene to St. LoulH
Denver or any other city as quickly , hn <
another place been designated. He Jmi
nothing to do , ho said , with naming the
place where the furs were to bo delivered.
Referring to charges that ho had never
carchtd Prlnco'B house In Des Molne for
the Htolen goods , ho ttated that the dwelling
had been searched by him personally twice
August 27 two of the Df Molnes police de
partment , two detectives of the force of thin
city and the chief urrounde < l Prlnco s
house , acting on Information that the rob
hern were inside and that the plunder alsu
was there. No trace of either was found.
Again , when the suspects were arrested in
I Joplln , Mo. , the Des Molnes authorities
wore wired to search the premises nnd the
Instructions were carried out.
Captain Donahue told how the county at
torney changed his mind about the prisoners'
release after the receipt of a telephone mes
sage from the World-Herald office. Ho said
that Quetavo Shukert and ho called at At
torney Shleldd' office Thursday noon to se-
uro an order for the release of the suspects.
The county attorney wrote out one , Captain
Donahue said , but Just as ho was nbout to
sign It ho asked the captain to telephone
udgo Gordon , saying that It would bo better
o send the order by telephone.
As the Judge could not bo reached by tele
phone , the county attorney promised to visit
ho Jail at 2 o'clock , the captain said , to give
the noccssary order then. At 1 o'clock a
elcphone message came to Captain Donahuo
at the jail , auylng that he had changed his
mind about rolcaolng the men thnt day , but
thought Tie would allow them their liberty
on the day following.
The county attorney called at the captain's
office later In the afternoon nnd asked for
i list of the wltnceaca , which was promptly
furnUhed him. Ho nnd an assistant , the
captain said , then went on a hunt for evl-
lenco which ho thought had been held back
'roni ' him. Captain Donahue and Chief
Whllo say they will gladly take the stand
next Monday to tell all they know about
the recovery of the furs and show that the
county attorney's motive for beginning the
loarlng la simply a grandstand play for the
benefit of voters.
