4 STARTLING DICLosURE.-To give our
readers some idea of the extent OF the
frauds carried on by distillers, assosted
by the government officers, we produce
tne following evidence given by one of
the number in the trial now progress
ing in St. Louis ST came here in June,
1872, remained until November, 1872,
and had repeated conversation with
Mcdonald and Joyce about making
money out Of Illicit distiliing, the sub
stance of which was that the distillers
would be protected In making crooked
whisky on condition they should give
certain part of the taxes to- some
certain parties. From about Sept. I,
money from the distillers Bears and
Frazer, Thompson, Cr1rran & UIrich to
paw to other parties I had talk with
ali the distillers mentioned, and assured
them they should run in violation of the
law and this on the conditions mention
ed. [ did this On the authority of Joyce
and Mcdonald The mon ey was collect
ed usually on the Saturday Of each week.
| The amounts collected from Ulrich vari-
| ed from $4,000 70 $1,000 ; from Thompson,
| from $500 TO 1880 from Curran, from
$500 TO $500 +; from Ben's & Frazer,
| from $500 to $4,000, the total being
about $500 per week.
'sThe distillers brought it to me at my
room, generally about noon. L disburs-
| ed certain sum taken out to pay the
gaugers, assistant collectors, assistant
| assessors and stOrekeepers the balance
was divided into five parts for subordi-
mates, and was given to John Leaven-
worth for subdivision, OF the other five
packages, I kept one, Mcdonald got
one, Joyce got one, and the other two
were given to LeaVeGworth with the
understanding that Mckee got one, and
Ford tho other. This work began in
the first part of Sept. 1871. Mcdonald
omplained once that Joyce ought not
to receive as much as the rest, SO on
one occasion [ gave him $1,000 more
| than the rest, without giving Joyce his
| full one-fifth. He took 1t. The arrange
ment was that the distiiier5 were to re-
tain about one half OF the profits on the
| crooked whisky. Leavenworth was a
gauger and part of the time storekeep-
er. The tax on whisky at this time
was so cents per gallon, and / collected
about 80 cents per gallon. It was un-
derstood at the supervisors Office that
/ the gaugers, storekeep6rs and other
| subordinates were 10 receive 81 to 81. 80
+! per barrel, but Leavenworth generally
/ paid them more. ] took the money for
! the main members to the supervisors
/ office, and there was no particular dis
/ guise ABOUT my delivering. [ always
/ set aside portion of the money, part of
the time, 500 per week, and part of the
time $500 per week, for William O'Avery,
chief clerk of the Internal Revenue be-
reau at Washington. This increase was
made at the instance Of Joyce, who came
| from Washington once and said Avery
was complaining of not receiving enough
money hence we increased it to $500
per week. "

A SYNOPSIS of the report Of the Engi-

Army is given in chicago papers of Fri
day. Gen. Humphreys, after detailing

and giving estimates Of additional pro-
posed improvements, Gevotes considera-
BILE space to the torpedo system which
has within the past few years attained to
such wonderful perfection. Experiments
with torpedoes il many harbors along
the coast have enabled the Engineer
Department to determine the size and
buoyancy OF these destructive agents ap-
plicable TO different channels, and so
complete are the details in this connec-
ton that, in case of emergency, the ship
channel OF any harbor threatened by q
foreign foe could be so obstructed with
these explosive machines within very
few hours that fleet OF war vessels ven
turing to enter would be blown to atoms.
The Importance of torpedoes was well
illustrated in the Franco-Prussian war,
wherein France with her immense navy
was rendered entirely poweriess as
against the thorough subaqueous system
of batteries adopted by the German
Government.

AT JUNIUs, n. Z, Saturday, farmer
named Theodore Bodine met a terrible
death. He was feeding a threshing
machine with loose oats. In some man.
ner a coil OF fence wire had become mix
ed with the cats, and was thrown into
the machine unseen by the farmer. One
end Of wire instantly fastened around
the cylinder OF the thresher, and the
other end caught about Mr.. Bodine's
neck and drew him up to the machine.
The aperture being too small to permit of
the entire body passing in, the head was
literally torn from it and passed through.
It was not until the bloody head came
out at the other end that the fate Of the
farmer was discovered. The men who
were attending to that part of the mach
inc stopped the horses, and going back,
found the headles trunk of MIR. Bodine
lying upon the barn floor. He leaves a
| family.

DEATH OF Dr. McDILL.

Mr.. Alexander S. McDill, Superin-
tendent Of the Hospital for the Insanse,
Mt Madison, died, ut the Hospital, on
Friday afternoon, at half past three
o'clock, of Inflammation of the lungs.
He was taken sick about three weeks
since, and had been very low, but on
Thursday was supposed to be past dan
ger and IN a way to recover. On Friday
morning, however, he suddenly grew
worse. and rapidly sank to his last sleep.
Few knew of his Illness, aud this an
nonncement Of his death Will strike with
painful force.
DR.. McDin was native of Crawford
county, Pennsylvania, and was in his
9th year. He pursued an academic
course in Allegheny College, and grad
uated from the Cleveland Medical Col
lege in 1913. He prachced medicine in
his native state until 1856, when he re-
moved TO Portage county in this state.
He was elected to the Assembly in 1851,
to the Senate i'll 1852, was a Presidential
eIector III 1864 a trustee of the Hospi-
tai for the Insane, at Madison, from 1862
to 1868 In the latter year he was elect
ed Medical Superintendent of the Hospi
tai, and held that position until 1872,
when he resigned it to take a seat III
Congress, to which he was elected from
the Eighth district, as Republican,
over VIM. Carson, Democrat. He was
a candidate for reelection in 1874 but
was defeated by his Democratic oppo-
nent, Judge Cate, through the action
OF canvassers in Wood county throwing
out the vote of two precincts for trif-
ing irregularity. He was reappointed to
the position of medical superintendent
OF the Hospital for the Insane last win
ter, and, as stated, was holding that posi-
ton when he died.
He was accounted skillful physician,
a careful and conscientious legislator,
very successful in the discharge of his
duties as superintendent of the insane,
and an upright and a worthy citizen.
He leaves wife, son and daughter,
and many friends to mourn his loss.
Greater men the state has had, but few
more useful or worthy.

4 CENSUS of Wisconsin has been taken
during the past year, under the super
vision of the state authorities. This is
done every ten years in order to reappor-
ton the members OF the Legislature,
corresponding to the growth or changes
IN the population.
Many of the bogus Reformers are ac-
cute politicians, and they were naturally
very anxious to get possession of the
Governor and the Legislature in order to
carve the districts SO as TO confirm their
political power. But the election OF
Coz. Ludington. with a Republic ran
majority IN the Assembly and Senate,
blocks this little game, and that Is one
cause of the fearful bowling and swear
ing among the Democratic leaders over
the defeat OF Taylor and the loss of the
Assembly, Milwaukee, Wisconsin,.

THE YELLOWSTONE PARK.
The geyser region of the Upper
Yellowstone, which Congress has
wisely sci apart as a National Park,
Is unquestionably the most astonish-
ing combination of natural wonders
and of imposing and beautiful
scenery in the world. The report of
United States geolosists, who have
repeatedly visited that region, fully
demonstrate this fact. When the
nUk shall become accessible by rail
ruads-say five years hence-we pre-
diet that il viii become the great
summer resort and sanitarium OF the
continent. For Sight-seers and lovers
of the wonderful and picturesque it
will have attractions than
Niagara, Yosemite and the White
Mountains combined; and there Is
the best reason to believe that the
myriads of hot aud mineral springs
in the Yellowstone Park posses val
liable curative properties. The
summer climate in this region is de
lightfuiiy cool, bracing and healthful.
Observation-Disclosures
Our people are mainly from the
Western and Southwestern states,
and, though few in number, are
energetic, enterprising and inteIli-
gent. They are the nucleus of what
IS To be the leading commonwealth of
the new Northwest. The school
system of wy omiug is excellent and
abundantly sustained. The Terri
tory is free from debt.
Several Of the counties have incur
red indebtedness by the making of
needed, permanent improvements;
which debts are represented by
county bonds redeemablP in from ten
to twenty years and are consequently
not burdensOme-
With the opening mp to settlement
Of Northern WyOmingthe tide ofim-
migration will pour into this Terri
tory, Is il formerly has into Califor-
mia or Kansas. The impetus thereby
given TO u mining interests, to
stock raising, agriculture and wool
growing. will give occupation to n
large population and add much 10
the wealth of the nation.
In short, considering climate,
healthfulness, fertility variety, and
abundance of natural riches, and the
LEGATION on the line of the great
natinnal thOroughfare, the Union
Pacific railroad, we know of no
part Of the Western country, which
excells Wyoming, the youngest
