Last evening Patrclman Davis found Michael
Cain, a barkeeper, who was, until few months
ego. employed at the Circle House for several
years lying imam alley, and, supposing that he
was intoxicated, took him to the station house.
The police were unable to arouse him from the
stupor in which he had been found, and within
m hour after his arrival at the station house he
died An examination made by the police sur
geon disclosed that instead of being intoxicated
he had died from an apoplectic attack He was
member OF the Independent Order of Red Men,

REVISION OF FIGURES.
A Correct Statement of the Condition of
Fletcher & Sharpe's Bank.
Receiver Wallace Makes an Exhibit that Will
Be of Considerable Interest to the
Creditors Of the Firm.

sMy account as receiver" said William Wal
lace, receiver of the Fletcher s. Sharpe Bank to
the reporter: twas necessarily very voluminous.
It covered nearly two hundred pages of fools
cap. Of course it was not expected that re-
porter could go into it and in moment make a
correct analysis of the report The result was
that in all the newspapers there were serious
mistakes, as for instance in the Journal the
amount OF money received as rents in the
Fletcher Sharpe Bank was wholly left out,
while it did contain the statement Of the amount
Of expenses. Of course the account would not
balance with that kind of omissions
Possibly" continued Mr.. Wallace, 'it would
be some satisfaction to the creditors to have a
correct statement of the summaries of the &C
count, and I should be glad to furnish them to
you. These summaries refer to the exhibits
which contain detailed statement, with all the
vouchers and references to them. The report is
on file with the clerk of the court subject to the
inspection of any party in interest"

"The first question l ask a new
barber" said a master hair-dresser
the other day, lis whether he can
shave customers upper lip without
grabbing mold of his nose It's a
most Objectionable habit" he con-
tinued, "but it is one that is much
INDUCED in, because it simplifies
shaving. It's great temptation
when man comes in with huge
Greece Roman nose to grab hold OF
it. 1t makes such capital handle.
You can steady yourself when you
Ae shaving him, and there is less
risk of making slip and a cash.
accomplished BARRIERS don't grab
the nose any more" he went on, ac-
cidentally filling the reporters left
ear full Of lather. "The custom is
going out of fashion. 1t makes a
mans nose red and occasionally,
when the customer doesn't keep still,
The barber holds it with the grip of

| THE CAPTURE OF JEFF DAvIs.-Lieut
lsgrigg of the 4th Indiana cavalry gave
an interesting account, at a recent vet
| eran reunion at Indianapolis, of his ex-
| about week, was his prisoner at Macon,
Ga. Isgrigg was provost marshal, and
| received Davis about two miles out OF
Macon. He says
Il brought him to the city in an old
farm wagon. 1t was vehicle with q
great deal to condemn it in the way OF
| unsightliness. 1t had weakness all over
it, but sufficient strength to hold Jeffer
son Davis, myself and his secretary.
The rebel chief sat between US, and over
his head, from pole fixed to the seat,
hung the hoop-skirt, calico wrapper and
an old straw hood which formed his dis
guise when captured. The articles of
his costume hung from that pole. Davis
bore himself with the fortitude of brave
man in trouble He was courteous to me
and to the guard; talked freely on every
question but that relating to the result
of the war;
When the party reached the Interna-
tional hotel, Capt. Thomas of Isgrigg's
regiment, drew his pistol on Davis, who
exclaimed: ''For Gods sake, lieutenant,
save my life % The lieutenant struck
the pistol which, however. discharged,
the ball passing through Isgrigg's coat.
Davis subsequently acknowledged this
service by letter to his military keeper.

Now that the cattlemen are really
rounding up their herds and getting
ready to leave the Indian territory in the
limit which the president has fixed. if
possible, the estimated number of cattle
~ H. 1;--~-, ~sr = ~~1--ool f~or, 900 600
to 17J, 900. The magnitude of the under
taking may be judged, however, from the
fact that one OF the Boston cattle owners
expects to use 100 extra men to drive out
his herd of 10000. Steers will be driven
out in punches of from 1000 to 5000 and
COWS in droves of half that size. The
droves will make from to 10 miles
day, and will mostly be driven west on
the Texas trail to Kansas, and large
number of them finally to New Mexico.
About 10000 beeves will be sent to
market, not an unusual number for the
season. The cattlemen say they will be
able to dispose of their herds without
Cutting the market, and that the specu-
lators who expect to make handsome
profit out of the presidents order will
get left. All this is widely different from
the talk we heard when the order was
first issued. When the cattlemen see
that they must go they are prompt enough
at finding a way, and instead of telling
us about the impossibility of moving pre-
dict an Indian outbreak for winter. The
first distribution of rations under the new
census occurred at Fort Reno the other
day, and only 100 beeves were assigned
instead of 140 as formerly. OF course
the Indians grumbled, and this is made
the basis of the prediction of an outbreak
when the cattle are removed and there is
nothing Oh the reservation to steal. The
officers at Fort Reno, however, say that
the force there is strong enough to sup
press any rising. Gen. Sheridan s enroll
ment of Indian scouts, too, put the most
dangerous young warriors under strict
military control, which will prove a
powerful factor in preserving peace.-E1

PROF. HENRY of the State University
has issued a circular to the young men
of the state who wish to become farmers,
in which he sets forth an outline Of the
course to be given hereafter in the ag-
ricultural department of the college. 1t
will consist of 204 lectures on chemistry,
botany, agriculture and veterinary sci
ence. The course will be given twelve
weeks in each year and in the winter
months when the farmers sons have
most time to attend, Students must be
sixteen years of age, must have a COM
mon school education, though no en-
trance examination will be required. -
Hitherto it has been as difficult to enter
this department as almost any other di-
vision of the university.
