silver mine in Colorado in which he was inter
ested with Beck, Of Milwaukee. He said the
mine was bound to pan we'll. asked him what
! his object was in trying to a1nass SO much
money Said !, Jake, you don't gamble, yon
don't dress very well, you don't run after
women, you don't drink, what do you want Of
so much moneya'"
"What did he say?''
Well, he said be had fixed his limit at mill
ion, and be meant to quit when he had reached
that amount"
"Was he making much money then !"
II am inclined to think he was. I was pres
ent at a,
CONVERSATION he Had WITH BUFFALO MILLER,
at which Powell Was also present. Reh1h was
to pay s., 600 toward fund Of 5000, but he
came in and said that as Mercereau had refused
to pay $500, which it was expected he would
9assd 9u, af tS sks thought his share ah0ua be
"sNow, Jake said Buffalo, sYou ought to
pay every cent Of this money!"
How sos' asked Jake"
-" "s Because says Buffalo, 'you are making
SIS, 600 month";
"t How?' asked Jake.''
"sYou are getting said Buffalo, from Ro-
ellie, Junker g.. Co., $4,000; from William
Cooper, s., 600; from Russell & Fur1ong, 81, 600;
from the Illinois Distilling Company, through
Stebbins, $1,000; from Dickcnson, Abel & Co.,
$4,000; and from Rush 81 Pullman, Sl,000-
making $4,000 month";
.ssNhat did Jake say2" asked the reporter.
"He didn't deny It, but laughed, and said no
one knew how much he had to pay out
"When did this conversation take place"
1T was Ss q! about October 175' just before the
!" How long had Jake received this income2'
From July, 1872, to May 10, 1872
tsThat would make about thirty-four mouths,
which, at $4,000 per month, would make his
receipts 1 +, about $4,000. Is that what you
''Thst is what Buffalo charged him with, and
be did not deny it.'
.sDo you think be got that amounta''
am pretty sure Of it.''
X But he swore he never received any thing
like that anount!"
I" ! know he did"
:" " A. Ard ayt y1a = say = he got it"
"But be said in his co aversation with Buffalo
Miller that no one knows
HOW MICE HE SPENT;
*Mr. Aver says he spfnt $4,000 for political
purposes"
"Did he?''
"No. When money vas flush at election
times, commencing in 1858, Rehm, though in
easy circumstances, took money regularly from
committees, and that money was all he spent al
elections. This was continued until money be-
came scarce, and merchants and bankers refused
to pay any more, and when they refused to pay,
jake quit spending. Every candidate or politi-
clan who has been in the field for ten years will
corroborate my statement when say that Jake
never spent money for any candidate OF any
party except the sum Of 81 4,500, which be raised
on an extra assessment on the dishllcrs,
wells canvass in 1874, and this assessment was
over and above the assessment he had already
levied for crookedness and politics.:''
"Who did spend the rest Of the money!

my own private expenses were over IS, 600, while

ing the whole canvass. When the election was
over, Jake went to Buffalo Miller, who was
County Treasurer, and demanded GOO from
the county funds for his services. Miller couldn't

crooked another sixty minutes. Buffalo came
to me and begged inc to introduce him to some
banker. I did SO, and Billy Bye, who was then
the Deputy Treasurer, deposited some real cs-
and
"And he kept it!''
"He paid to Buffalo some time afterwards
note Of niue for the amount"
Has the note been paida''
"No.":.
s.Jake had great many OF your notes, hadn't

ayes, but they didn't belong to him.
" How did he get theH?"
for me If 1 could get good security. He raised
the money from the distillers, and gave him,
for them, my notes at 10 per cent, indorsed and
secured BY Staats- Zettung stock"
"What did he do with the notes1"
t<Hc traded them of"

II am told he bought some real estate With !
It, which he now holds"
;" And the notes never went into the hands OF
The men who loaned you the money!"
ssNo; they were clear profit to jake
