WASHINGTON.

The annual report of the director OF
the mint shows: Gold received and opera
ted upon during year, $40, 900, 900; silver,
nearly $39, 900, GOO; coinage of the year val
tued at SEQ, 200, 7O4; total gold coinage, $35,
936, 1927; silver, &2s, $50, $50, of which
SSH, 119 were standard dollars. Profits
on coinage of silver dollars, So, 7O1 1888; net
silver profits the last five years, $l3, S6O31O.
The silver circulation, the directors says, is
in excess of the requirements, and expresses
| the belief that equal coinage of
both gold and silver by all ma
tons is desirable, aud suggests congress
consider the question whether the law
directing monthly coinage Of TWO millions
| of silver dollars should not be modified or
repeated. The director recommends the
| coinage of gold dollars and the three-cent
| nickel piece be discontinued and the repeal
| OF the act authorizing the coinage of trade
dollars, and the latter coins be sent to the
minis and exchanged for other silver dol
lars. The production of gold currency the
| calendar year will be $50, 600, ZOO. and the
silver$ 49, 000, 900. The estimate of the cir
culation of coin on October1 1888, is $751;
512, 699 gold, and $35, 291 1928 silver.
5The chief signal officer in his annual
report says: The service has been serious
ly crippled by diminished appropriations,
and urges that congress be more liberal in
the future. He recommends separate Of
fee on the Pacific coast, and decided i'm
provement in the service in that important
region.
General Wright, chief of engineers,
in his annual report urgently recommends
that congress make ample appropriation for
putting the sea and lake front in condition
for defense in case of war. He advises that
at least $500, 200 be expended in San Fran
cisco. Among other appropriations recon-
mended are the following: Rivers and har-
bors en- the Pacific coast, 81, 1913, 900; gulf
coast, S., S54 1000; lake region, S., 474, 800;
western rivers and harbors, S., 1858, 4S5. The
above estimates do not include the Missis-
sippi river commission work.
Secretary Teller, in replying to a
communication from Attorney General
Brewster in regard to the appointment Of
an expert from the pension bureau to assist

cases against pension agents charged with

A Plattsmouth Sensation.
Omaha Republican.


The city of Portsmouth had quite a
sensation on Sunday afternoon, and excite
ment ran high for a while, and has not yet
subsidized. A little girl, aged thirteen years,
daughter of Edward Grissell, foreman OF
the B. & M. car shops, went to the Office OF
DIR. Richmond to procure some medicine for
her sick sister, and while there it is claimed
the doctor outraged her. Upon reaching
home she at once informed her parents, and
her father would have probably hunted up
the doctor and killed him had he not been
prevented. The arrest of the doctor soon
followed, and he was lodged in jail. There
was some talk of lynching him, but the
probability is that the citizens will allow the
law to take its course.
Monday DIR. Richmond waived eXamlna-
ton, and he was held for trial in the sum OF
s., 600. He has lived in Plattsmouth sever.
al years, and it is said that he has borne a
fair reputation as man and as a physician.
He is about 40 years of age, and is a single
man.
That evening the B. & n. railroad men
held meeting in regard to the outrage, but
it was not learned what they decided to do.
The doctor did not give bail, preferrlng no
doubt to remain in Jail for his own safety.

cane mill, when by some unknown reason
her hands were caught and crushed, one Of
them, the left hand, entirely ruined, but the
right hand may possibly be saved by am
putating the fingers at the second joints.
The wounds were dressed, but further
examination of them will be made to-day.
Valentine Reporter: Mr.. Chamber

through town few days since with 100

Some months since this state was
startled by the announcement that Prof.
Aughey, of the state university, committed
forgery, with circumstances apparently con-
elusive of his guilt. At meeting of regents
he rendered his conditional resignation. The
professor stated to friends he had been the
victim of man who owed him money, and
told long, intricate and improbable story
about the mysterious individual who duped
him. This was regarded universally as sub
terfuge, almost everybody believing him
guilty. At tho supplemental meet
ng of the board of state re-
gents held in Lincoln Friday, Prof. Aughey
introduced evidence clearly establishing the
existence of the pretended friend and his
innocence. The case is regarded as one of
the most strangely romantic in the annals of
western incidents, and is the sensation of
the hour.

The Latest Cyclone.

The Kansas City Journals Spring
field (Mo.) special of Monday says: Shortly
after O'Clock this afternoon this city was
visited by a destructive cyclone. The storm
struck the WOODEN mills, destroying a por-
ton of the buildings and greatly damaging
the machinery. Then, passing little north
of east, demolished number of residences.
Striking Division street, at the corner of
Bonneville street, the storm followed line
between the city proper and North Spring
field for three blocks, dwelling residences in
both towns. Then tending little north
ward the tornado passed to Bridgetown, a
suburb of North Springfield. The total loss
is estimated at between $3.50, 0OO and $3.50,
600. Probably seven persons were killed
and many injured. The new cigar factory
of F. A. Hacker and his residence were COM
pletelv demolished. The family were absent
at the time; number Of employees of the
actory were injured. St. Mary's Catholic
church was wrecked. There is reported
great damage at Brookline, and Republic,
in the southwestern part Of the county, was
blown down. Telephone communication
with Springfield was also destroyed. Hazel
Dell, school house, west of the city, was
building. None was seriously hurt. Their
escape was most miraculous. The path Eof
the storm was only a few yards in width,
but wherever it struck the ruins is appall-
ing. A public meeting is called for to-
morrow. Meanwhile all temporary provi-
sion possible is being made. Among the
killed are Mrs. Sallie Arnquist, young
Swede woman, and Miss Sallie Edmondson,
young lady of IS. Confusion is so great
that it is almost impossible to give COM
plete list at present of the killed and
wounded.
A special a day later from Spring.
field, Mo-, says: Workmen were busy to-
day clearing away debris left by yesterdays
storm. Mrs. Aiken, reported among the
injured, died at midnight. Three others
are yet not out of danger. In the country
west of here the storm was severe. The
farmhouse of jerome was blown away.
His wife is reported still missing. Mr.. Ing
Ter and Mrs. Strong are thought mortally
wounded. The storm also wrought serious
damage in the country east. As far as can
be ascertained it travelled about fifty miles,
its force being expended chiefly in this vi
cinity. A large number of farm-houses
were blown down. The list of persons dam
gerously injured are probably complete as
reported. The citizens responded literally,
and it will not be necessary to go outside for
assistance. The damage to property in the
city and vicinity is $3.50, OO0.

FOREIGN.
ENGLAND.

Marquis of Lorne and Princess Louise
arrived at London Monday and were heart
lily eheered as they drove to the town hall,
where the corporation presented an address
and lunch. The marquis in replying to
the address, warmly extolled the dominion
of Canada and its people. He said he had
experienced great pleasure in the friendly
relations maintained by Canada with the
United States, and trusted the friendship
now existing would ever endure.
ENGLAND.
Chief Justice Coleridge has consulted
Charles Russell and other leaders of the
English bar regarding the differences of
procedure in the high courts of England
and America. One Of the points discussed
was the admission of foreign lawyers to prac-
tice in the English court.
1t is probable that the government
will introduce at the next session Of parlia-
ment the household suffrage bill, which
shall apply throughout Great Britain and
Ireland alike. The bill for the redistribu-
ton of seats in the commons will probably
follow.

CRIME.

A special from Richmond says: Mon
day morning disturbance took place In
Fredericksburg, which almost brought
about serious trouble. Captain Morris
Rowe, appointment white citizen, while dis
cussing the Danville riot, was overheard by
NEGRO named Street, who denounced the
statement about the riot as a ''funder''
(meaning democratic .lie). The negro
knocked Rowe down. Rowe succeeded in
getting him off and beat him pretty soundly.
The affair attracted large crowd of whites
and blacks, and for time serious trouble
was anticipated but prevented. There is
feverishness in nearly all districts In the
state, says the special, and fears are enter
tanned that other riots will occur in several
places. More arms have been sold in the
state in the past ten days than ever before
in time of peace, except probably just
after the war.
ROBBED AND MURDERED.
A Chihuahua (Mexico) special states
that Joseph Hipp, wealthy resident Of
Milwaukee, Wis.,, while on his way from
