STEALING A FORTUNE.
The Plan by Which an Idaho Postmaster Ac-
cumulated from $50, 900 to $50, 900.

PORTLAND, Ore, June 5.-The Oregonian's
Lewiston, /. T., special says: Isaac HibDs was APP
pointed postmaster at Lewiston, in March. 1884.
Last January a registered mail pouch was
robbed. An official investigation developed
nothing: The saafaiir was eventually forgotten.
On May 2, last, Hibbs left for an alleged silver
mine on the Upper Columbia. The postal in
spector, alarmed at his continued absence, inves
tigated the affairs of the Office, and found Hibbs
had written receipts for a large number OF reg
istereu mail packages, destined for fictitious
names in postofices supplied from Lewiston.
The modus operandi was as follows:
Lewiston is a Notwithstanding point for a
large number of offices in northern Idaho
and eastern Washington. Hibbs would issue
a money-order for a fictitious name at these
offices, draw in favor of a bank in Iowa, where
orders were payable, and the customary letter
of advice was forwarded to the paying postmas-
ter. he then wrote to the banks that he would
shortly visit the town, and iDclosed a money
order and requested the bank TO cash them and
place the amount to his cridit on deposit until he
arrived. Later, he wrote the bank that he could
not make the contemplated visit, and requested
that a draft for the amount Of money On deposit
be returned by registered mail to a fictitious
name attached to the money-order, and always
at some office where the mail passed though
Lewiston. The drafts arrived by registered mail;
Hibbs signedfthe fictitious names and returned
the receipt cards. and the transaction was
completed. Money orders are limited to $500 in
favor of one person, but with forethought and
judicious distribution of dates and places, an
opening offers through which INSCRIPTIONS
postmasters could bankrupt the United States.
The amount of the defaleation exceeds 500, 900,
and is expected to reach $50, 600. The scheme
is surprisingly simple, and officers are surprised
it was never thought of and worked before.
John Evans, the cashier of the First National
Bank; William Keltenback, cashier of the Lewis
ton National Bank; Alexander Thiesser and
Woodwork were his bondsmen for So, 900; Alex
ander and Thiesser were secured before Hibbs's
leaving. Hibbs was last seen May 30, at the
second crossing of the Canadian Pacific, taking
in Missoula and Helena, and gathering drafts
ordered sent there"

and are In. session until after the graduating ex-
ercises. President Jordan has given his address
on The Value of a College Education" twenty
five times, and In seventeen different county
seats since his election. A promising feature of
the classes is their maturity, the freshman
class averaging over twenty years, and contain
ing a number of teachers of experience. Of the
class of twenty SIX graduating next Wednesday
several have already taken prominent positions
as teachers in seminaries or high-schools-two
have been selected for the indianapolis High
schools.
There is no doubt but the University will
enter on its new year with a Freshman class of
over one hundred and corresponding increase in
the higher classes. With the present spirit in
faculty, students and board, the future of the
University is assured.

Everybody knows what that tired feeling Is. It
afiicts nearly every one at this time of the year, being

which the system appeals win be found in Hoods Sar-
~saparilla, the reliable tonic and blood purifier. Give
it a trial

OBITUARY.
Death of Sir Julius Benedict, Musician and

Death of Sir Julius Benedict, Musician and
Composer.
LONDON, June Sir Julius Benedict, the
musician and composer is dead. He had so far
recovered from a recent illness as to be able to
resume the duties of his profession, and to make
preparations for his annual concert. His death
was unexpected; it followed quickly upon a sud
den relapse.
Sir julius Benedict was born in Stuttgart,
Germany, Nov. q, 1904, and at an early age
showed so much talent that Weber was induced
to alter his rule and accept him as a pupil. He
stayed with him from 1921 to 1924. and was
treated as a son rather than as a pupil. When
nineteen, on the recommendation of Weber, Ben
edict was employed to conduct German operas
at Vienna. and afterward in a similar capacity
at the San Carlo and the Fondo at Naples. In
1885 he went to London at the instance of
Madame Malibran whom he always considered
the greatest artist the world ever saw. He
directed opera bouffe at the Lyceum, and later
his own productions at Drury Lane. In 1850 he
accompanied Jenny Lind as conductor and
pianist to the United States and Cuba. After
his return to England he conducted Italian
operas at Drury Lane and her Majestyis Theater;
conducted the musical festivals at Norwich and
Liverpool, and the gseat Birmingham festival at
intervals, producing at these his own compost
tions. OF these he considered the Lily of
Killarney his best opera. and the ~cantatas of
"St Cecilia" and st. Peter his best choral works.
He was knighted by Queen Victoria in 1871, and
had more than forty decorations and titles. Sir
Julius was the richest musician that ever lived.
He made enormous sums of money by the sale
of his music, always had a high salary, married
two rich wives, one Of whom yet lives, and was
never known TO spend or waste q cent. Besides
that, he gave lessons at two or three guineas a
lesson, cash in advance, and had an income from
all sources of Gl2, 000. AS q boy he knew Goethe
and had met every crowned person of Europe for
the past sixty years.

decision the applause attested the hearty appro-
baton of the audience. They awarded the prize
