NEBRASKA'S BALANCE SHEET State Treasurer Bartley's Biennial Report on Affairs of His Office. OVER A MILLION AND A HALF ON HAND Financial Transactions of the Last Two Years Show Accumulation of Cash, Outstanding Warrants and Delinquent Taxes. LINCOLN, Dec. 25.-(Special.)-In the introduction to his biennial report to the governor State Treasurer Bartley sets forth the following statement of receipts and disbursements for the period covered from the close of business November 30, 1894, to December 1, 1896. From the detailed exhibits are found: $1,121,387.34 Balance per last report Received November 30, 1894, to 3,667,594.95 December 1, 1896 $4,783,982.29 Total Disbursed November 30, 1894, to 3,059,354.99 December 1, 1896 Balance November 30, 1896 $1,729,627.30 From this amount are to be deducted the sums in suspended state depositories, as follows: $ 236,361.83 Capital National bank 4,499.00 Buffalo County National bank Globe Loan and Trust Company 12,892.54 Savings bank 14,965.57 Bank of Wymore First National bank of Beatrice. 2,803.14 $ 271,522.08 Total Balance 1,458,105.22 "During the present month," says the report, "the temporary school balance as per statement, $256,582.88, less amount in suspended depository banks ($24,624.58), will be apportioned and paid to the several counties, decreasing the cash in the state treasury at the time of this report to that amount. There is now in the state depository banks funds to apply upon the payment of registered general fund warrants in amount of $589,370.39. less amount in suspended depository banks, $58,453.36. which will, when applied, further reduce the cash balance to that extent. "In addition to general fund floating indebtedness shown in previous reports and occasioned largely by excess in appropriations over the amount raised by levy to meet the same, under a similar condition existing during the biennium for which this report is made, the floating indebtedness of the state has been further increased. "The appropriations for 1895-6 on general fund were $2,784,684.60; levy for the same period was $2,383,965.78; excess of appropriations, $400,718.82. Contributing to this excess was the unusual demand for relief requiring an appropriation of $250,000, and the reimbursing of the sinking fund for $180,000 lost in the Capital National state depository. "The outstanding registered general fund warrants November 30 are in amount $1,934,069.13, which, after deducting the cash on hand cited above to apply on same, have for their redemption the uncollected taxes of 1895-6, and delinquents from previous years, which from the statement of the auditor of public accounts, are $2,330,692.76, and if paid in will take up the entire out-

A SPECIAL MESSAGE GOVERNOR HOLCOMB SUBMITS A SHORT ONE. Calls Attention to the Fact that Ex-State Treasurer Bartley Owes the State Over $500,000, and Advises Appointment of a Joint Committe of Investigation. Governor Holcomb submitted a message to the legislature Wednesday containing some startling information to the taxpayers of Nebraska. It shows that outside of all the money now on deposit and heretofore lost in state depositories, Ex-Treasurer Bartley still owes the state the enormous sum of $537,000, for which he has never in any way accounted. The message is as follows: To the Senate and House of Representatives:-Gentlemen: I deem it proper to acquaint the legislature with information now in my possession respecting the condition of the state's finances more in detail than I was able to give in my biennial message, and also to advise your body respecting certain matters that have arisen concerning the same matter since the submission 'of that message. In his biennial statement, the state treasurer reports a loss of $271,522.08 in banks designated as state depositories which have closed their doors and ceased doing business. Of this sum, $236,361.83 was to the credit of the state in the Capital National bank of Lincoln at the time of its failure, January 21, 1893. To speak of this money being lost under the operation of the depository law is, in my judgment, a perversion of history as well as of fact. It may, however, be said in this connection that dividends to the amount of 15 per cent have been declared by the receiver of this bank. What further sum, if any, may be realized from the assets of this institution I am unable to speak of intelligently. Suit has been brought, and is now pending, to recover the amount due the state on the dividend first declared. Just why this sum should be withheld from the state is not perfectly clear. It has been suggested, however, that the receiver denies that any such sum, as claimed by the ex-state treasurer, was ever deposited in the bank. It thus appears that in the state courts the defense by the ex-treasurer and his bondsmen was that the money had been deposited in the bank under the depository law, therebr relieving them, while the defense of the bank in the federal court against paying the dividends is that the money was never in fact deposited in the bank, and that, therefore, the state is not entitled to share in the dividends. With these adjustable defenses, and the uncertainty as to the value of the assets, it is yet quite uncertain what amount the state may ultimately realize from this source. The Buffalo County National bank was designated as a depository Sept. 4, 1894, and its doors were closed October 11, following. The state had on deposit at the time $5,000. Of this sum $501 has been paid by one dividend, leaving $4,499 yet due the state. Icalled the attention of the attorney general to this matter January 16, 1896, and suggested the proprietyof taking proper steps to collect the amount due thestate from the sureties on the depository bond. No action, however, was taken until December, when suit was instituted against the bondsmen to recover the amount due. Some of the bondsmen, I am advised, are responsible for the entire amount, and I donbt not that by prompt and vigorous action the state will be prevented from losing anything on account of this deposit. The Bank of Wymore was closed August 2, 1896, having before been designated as a depository and at the time of its suspension it owed the state $14,965 57. The sureties on the depository bond. in my judgment, are amply responsible, and the amount due the state may be recovered by a proper action,broughtlfor that:purpose. I am advised that persons interested in this bank are expecting to pay all depositors in full. At the time of the closing of the Globe Loan and Trust company Savings bank in Omaha, June 2 last, there were funds to the credit of the state in the sum of $12,892.54. Soon after the suspension of this institution a bond for the payment of all of its deposits was given and approved by the state banking board. Under the conditions of this bond these deposits were to be paid within four years. In addition to the security thus given. the depository bond seems to provide reasonable protection to the state and by the institution of a suit for that purpose it is hoped that the state may be able to realize the entire amount due it. The treasurer, in his statement, reports $2803.1 in
