4 Fugitive u. =. Senator.

Marshal Ricketts,, Of Virginia City, in
company with Deputy L. S. Marshal
from Nebraska, passed through here foI
the Eastern part of the State. At the
depot Mr.. Ricketts, informed the AP-
PEAL reporter that they were on a
mission that, If successful, would create
I, sensation throughout the whole caun-
try, bat he would not disclose what the
nature of the mission was. It now
.ranspires that the two officers were on
the track of an United States Senator
who WAS wanted at Washington as a
witness in the Star Route cases. He
got wind that the Deputy MarshsI>;
were on his trail and hence hurried on
L. Washington before they could arrest
him. Mr.. Ricketts,. who pissed up to
Virginia City yesterday, declined to
give the name of the delinquent Sena-
tor.

A Strange Faculty.

Santa Fe has a young man with a
mind, which has a faculty that is rare.

discovered elsewhere. The gentleman
in question is Hugh McKeyItt, Il print
er, working over at military headquar.
ters. He is rapid type'setter and Il
thoroughly good workman, so that he
is not dependent on any side business
for a good living, and as a consequence
has never said anything about dis
spelling capacity, which is the subject
Of this item. McKevitt is Il left-hand.
ed speller, and deA any one to put at
him a word which he cannot spell
backwards as rapidly as the best and
quickest speller could give it in the
usual way.
The other day the reporter fell in
with him when he was in mood more
communicative than usual, and had
occasion to try him. IncOmprehensi.
bllity was not marker for him. As
soon as the word was pronounced, Nc.
said Fifteen letters" and went at it
backwards 50 fast that his hearers
were unable to tell whether he was
right or wrong.
"You see" said a fellow printer, "he
can tell the number of letters in any
word without Il moments hesitation,
as well us he can spell it backwards,
and not only that, but you can give
him Il whole sentence and he will tell
you at once how many letters there are
in it, and 80 right ON and spell through
the whole thing backwards faster than
most people could spell it the other
way"
This thing was tried time and time
again, AMI no words or series of words
could be hit upon which were not rem
dered as indicated above. OF course,
there are words in the English Ian
guage which McKevitt has never heard
of, Just as is the case with almost ev-
cry other man, but he is what would
be called fine speller, "right-handed,"
as lie says, and is familiar with the
language and any word which he has
heard and can spell at all he can spell
backwards with astonishing rapidity.
The stranpest mart about the whole
thing is that McKevitt has never proc.
ticed or studied smelling backwards a
dav in his life lie saws he does not
know how he ever acolired the ability
to dn If hut that as soon az he secs or
hears word even if he had never

The Curse OF Debt.

Chicago Sentinel.
Mr.. Robert P. Porter of the Census
Bureau furnishes, for the first time for
publication some very Interesting
figures on the subject of debt in the
United States.
1t presents a subject that is worth
the study and thought of every person
who feels an interest in the welfare Of
his country.
The assessed valuation which is of
course low valuation of the property
is SIG, 1897, ,l35,567 This gives to each
person an average of $336.o9,
The bonded, state and local debt is
$69,364,077, or Sl,3S per capita. The
$1,1l7,82l,67l, or $22,28 per capita,
The interest charge upon this debt is
average rate of interest is 62-lO per
cent.
To the above debt is to be added the
United States bonded debt, bearing in
terest 1864, ,305,200, or S3l.l9 per
capita. The annual interestupon this
has now been cut down to SOS, ,4G1, 244
almost exactly the same figures as the
annual interest charge upon the state
and local debts. The per capita inter
est charge on International debt is there
fore the same viz: $1.3S.
Combined, the annual interest charge
on national, state and local debt is $l3S,-
S25, ,221, or, per capita charge of S2.76
Now then, the average number of
persons to each family is six-accord-
ing to the proportion of votes cast to
the entire number of Inhabitants.
This gives to each head of a family
1856 to pay in the shape of interest
money upon national, state and local
bonded debts. 1t is equivalent to the
burden of a $4l5 four per cent. mort
gage upon every mans property OIL
labor.
This, let it be borne in mind, does
not include the burden of "current ex.
penses," nor the annual cost of collect
| ing and disbursing this interest. 1t is
so much paid for "dead horse" every
year.
The ordinary expenses of the United
States government last year lover and
above the s69, 9,46l pa calculated as in
terest on bondsl amounted to $l9l, ,25l,
643. This amount includes current ex
penses, and the cost of collecting and
disbursing annual interest money. This
item is almost three times as much as
the item of annual interest. Estimat
ling that the current expenses of STATE
land local governments and the cost oi
