Heavy FOrgcrieS.

New York. December 81. \ Kansas City dcs-
patch says Samuel Lappin, treasurer Of Kansas,
was forced TO resign on Monday, by order Of Gov.
Osborne. Ten days ago it was discovered that
heavy forgeres had been committed by some one,
by which the State was victimiZed $4,000, and it
IS claimed that Lappin was the lnstigator if not
the perpetlator OF the torgeries. Lappns bonds

Superintendent of Public Instruction. Thos. ii.
Cavough, Secretary of State, and NJ. r. Randolf,

statement to Gov Osborne that at different times
since Sept ID they purchased certain Kansas
school district bonds, purpoitng to have been is
sued by districts in Mitchell, Jewell, Republic and
other counties, amounting to nearly $4,000.
Suspicious circumstances connected with these
bonds led the commissioners to examine into the
matter aud they have discovered that the bonds
are fraudulent aud were issued with the design to
perpetrate a swindle. 1t also appears that the
State treasurer, Samuel Lappip, who paid for
these bonds orders OF the comm ssioners Of the
school fund, was not careful as to the identity Of
the persons to whom he paid the money, and sus-
picion has been aroused to such an extent that he
is in some way connected with the swnde, that
Gov. Osborne demanded his resignation, which
has been rendered. Detectives are at work on the
case.
1t is held that the State treasurer is liable for
the money paid by him for these bonds, and a
suit will be commenced against him.
