allow the mines to fill up. The miners

Gigantic scheme OTRObbery.
Sr. LOUIS May 6.-The Globes JetTcr-
son CITY special SAYS that Il scheme has
lust come to light there to rob the State
of several million dollars. \ commission
on war claims sat at jefferson Ci,y last
winter, and allowed nearly three million

to claimants to nearly that amount.
These certificates are not TO be

legislature shall name tn" court before .
which suits against the State shall .
be brought If therefore. the Federal .
Government refuses 10 recognize :
these war claims and this ring accom-

and with three millions at stake, a favor

these claims with the eY-

men of the regiments for whose benefit
these claims are made, are dead, and the |
