Frank James TrfaI-Th0 Killing and
 Burial of WOOp H1te.
 GALLATN, Aug. 25. -Te-day local interest in the James trial seemed to flag little. The sympathizers with the prisoners are in the majority. They have been assured that the prosecution were going to be pulverized from the beginning of tho trial, and finding that the boot was on the other leg they have gone home sadder and wiser farmers. When the court opened this morning Colonel Phil lips argued for permission to introduce testi- meny proving specific acts against the Bolton family with a view to attacking their credi- bility. Their intention was to open up the murder of Wood lite at the Ford house for which Lidden is under indictment and of which Mrs. Bolton and Captain Ford were witness es. The court decided that they could be re- called and examined on this subject as long as the killing was not gone into. A couple of hours were devoted to questioning the Bolton family as to the killing and burial of Wood Hite at their homestead. The horrible story of how the body was sewed up in a horse blanket and buried in the pasture with a lot of rocks and bushes on it was told and retold, the court having decided that this class of testimony was admissible as showing the character of the witnesses. Other wit nesses were Ide Bolton, a girl of fourteen, and her sixteen year old brother, both of whom said they had seen Frank James with the rest of the gang Jesse James, the Hises

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
The Mystery of g Package.

S%AA~SCS
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Acting Secretary French to-day received from Treasurer Wy man and Comptroller Knox reports of in vestigations recently made by them concern ing package containing SIG, 900 in currency aad three sheets of $50 bills on the First National bank of Carroll, Ills, found on the floor of the treasury building. Comptroller Knox states that the three sheets of bills belonged to shipment of twelve half sheets of $50 bills and that they passed through the hands of . clerk new to the business Of counting and that in throwing the wrapper of the package into the waste basket the half sheets were accidentally detached and accompanied the wrappers. The bills, al- though signed by tho United States treasurer and register, lacked the signatures of tte president and cashier of the national bank to which the notes belonged, and consequent Iy they were useless for ciEcalation- Relative to the $1o, 900 package Treasurer Wyman re- ports that all the notes were cancelled and stopped and were part of $223,0 900 which had been redeemed and were being sent to the macerator for redemption. In transfer ring the packages from locked box to 8 table in one of the roOms accidentally the package fell back on the truck for transport ing such material and without being noticsd khe truck was pushed into an unused room and subsequently discovered and returned by a workman employed by private firm. Act ing Secretary French says that Whle such accidents cannot occur without carelessness on the part of some official or employe. yet as to err is human and not unpardonable he does not think the facts furnish cause for the removal of any clerk or employe for cen sure of the head of either office in question. Each is responsible under heavy bonds for the safety of all property in his hands, and as he is responsible for the conduct of his subordinates their discharge or retention should be left chiefly to his discretion. In neither of these cases is there any suggestion of a wish to make any change on account of the accidents

The entries were Adams black stallion, driven by John White, and Dow x Hamilton's brown pacer, driven by Alic Hamilton. Peckham's pacer being somewhat out of condition was not entered as intended. The race was for q small stake but the horses were Eberslly backed by their admirers The pacer took der the wire in 2:43 1-2 on the fastest heat.

BOSTON, Aug. 28.-A Washington special says ''Mr. DormaR B. Eaton, president of the civil service commission, was asked to- day if in his opinion the issuing of the cir culars being distributed by Thomas V. Cooper, chairman of the Republican State commission of Pennsylvania, which calls upon Pennsylvanians holding federal positions for contributions to the campaign fund in that State is violation of the civil service law. He replied: 'I am very 10th to speak my opinion on the subject, but I think there is very wide difference between the circular and others of seeming like char acter that have been issued. refer to the Jay Hubben circular of last year. You will observe that this is simply an invitation to contribute and is in no sense an assessment. do not think that the Pennsylvania com mittee is violating the civil service law by what they are doing"
