Ever, inch OF the scarle. cloth of which

subjected to variety Of chemical tests

Murder and Robbery.

Inter-Ocean Wapaca, Wis, special Of
the 10th says, a daring murder and bank
robbery occurred here last night. The
victim, II. &. Mead, was a wealthy
banker, i'm business here for thirty years.
He was an eccentric bachelor of 60, and
slept in the bank and boarded at the
hotel. This morning he failed to ap-
pear at breakfast and dinner, and mes
senger was sent TO the bank, who found
it locked. Going to back window he
discovered a wire screen cut and the
window let down from the top, and
Mead lying in pool Of blood on the
floor. Investigation showed his head
and face horribly manglcd with shot, az
if both barrels Of a shot gun bad been
discharged at him at short range. 1t is
supposed that the assassins shot him
from the window while he was sitting
at the table writing. The safe had not
been locked, and the assassins carried
off several thousand dollars in currency,
gold and bonds, the exact amount not
known. No clue Of the murderers The
coroner's jury rendered verdict in ac-
cordance with these facts.
Mead was worth considerable over
100000. The bank is small one-story
wooden structure, and sleeping apart
ment in rear room, without bars and
easy of access. Mead was warned Of his
danger many times. He always said il
his money was wanted it could be had
without killing him. He lived alone in
the bank neady % years. All his face
from the cheek bone upward was shot
away and the flesh and bones scattered.
Several people heard the shots about
midnight, but the occurrence being not
unusual excited no comment. Leading
citizens have undertaken thorough in
vestigation, and large reward offered
for the capture of the murderers.

The Posts Washington special says
Enough business ofthe postofiice depart
ment has teen tabuleted for annual re-
port to show that for the first time since
go there will be a surplus. This will
amount to 81 ,50O,0 900, notwithstanding
the fact that railway mail service has
been largely increased. Congress ap-
propriated SS,OOO,OOO for star route serv-
ice, and this service has been efficiently
done at an expense of about $6000,00O,
remaining S20OO,0O0, illustrated the
extravaganza Of the corruption which
has now come to be known as star route
frauds. Savings on star routes is about
balanced by extra expenditure in rail
way mail service. Former increase of
business completed with saving on star
route service, gives surplus for year,
with exception Of year '62 postofiice

yearly in the 40s, surplus of '62 and due
to decision of southern states. Con-

The Pioneer of the 10th saws the
Black Hills telephone system is to DO
enlarged. Wires, in addition to those
already running to Spearfish, Sturgis,
Crook, GaleEa and other camps and
cities hereabouts, are to be extended to
Rockford, Brownsville, Hill City and
Custer. An amount Of stock sufficient
to make the improvement has been sub
scribed, and the work of constructing
the lines will soon be commenced. In
addition to the stock taken by our mer-
chants and business men, aggregating
$500, the King Solomon mining COM
pany at Tigerville, the Charter Oak and
the Minnesota mineral companies at
Rockford, will each take 500 worth
of stock. With this sum the Deadwood
telephone exchange will be enabled to
spread out its wires. This extension
will prove matter Of great convenience
to the citizens Of the several camps and
towns named.
