DEERING
BINDERS.

We invite the attention of
Farmers to the DEERING
Harvesting Machine for 1885.
Those intending to buy a
Binder should not do 50 with
out seeing these. Mr.. Deering
was the first manufacturer to
build q successful Irvine Bind
er. Iie was the first to build
and put in the field what is
called the LIGHT Binders,
having built and sold in 1884,
5000 Of them. Others are
following now but they are
not tried. If you are wise and
wish to be on the safe side,
AVOID EXPERIMENTS,
buy the Machine that went
through the last harvest with
out a failure. We sold 10
Light Binders here last sea-
son. We also have the old
stand by STANDARD Deering
Binder. Six parts of Deer
ing's improved modifying de-
vice take the place of thirty
parts used in all Appleby pat
tern Of Binders. Bear this in
mind when you think Of the
durability and expense of
keeping your machine in run
ming order. There is another
point that is overlooked by
most farmers buying ma
chimes: "Where and when
they can get their Extras"
This is very important to con-
slider, especially when you
break down in the midst Of
harvest. We carry over
$4,000 worth of EXTRAS for
machines we represent, and
our machines are made near
home: p hours delay will get
extras should we be out Of
them.
The country is full of ma
chimes offered at reduced
prices, made away down East
that belong to this class that
have no Extras in their town
or even in the state.
These fellows have to sell
at cut prices or not at all.
Everything is against them.
Keep clear ofthese objections,
and buy the Reliable and
Time-tried DEERING.

A Defaication I'm the sub-Treasury.


WASHINGTON, June 5.-The Secre-
tary of the Treasury to-day received
telegram from j. A. Sample, of the
United States Treasurer's office, who is
at present engaged in investigating the
affairs Of the Assistant Treasurer's of
fee at New Orleans, reporting that the
shortage so far discovered in the ac-
counts Of mutilated currency and United
States notes deposited for redemption
amounts to s25,343. 1t was also
reported that the redemption clerk,
j. II. Aufdemorte, who is suspected
of defalcation, has disappeared, and ef-
forts to arrest him have proved unsuc-
cessful. In speaking Of the defalcation
to-day the United States Treasurer said
he proposed to make a full and COM
plete examination Of the affairs Of the
Sub Treasury. and to that end he has
sent two clerks of his Office, A. r.
Quaiffe and B. p. Snyder, to New
Orleans to assist Messrs. Sample and
Henry Croggon, who are now there.
The Treasurer says it is possible that
the total shortage may be increased to
$50, 900, and intimates that Aufdemorte
is not the only person concerned in the
transaction. He says the Government
will suffer no loss from the defalcation,
as it is amply protected by the bond of
| the Assistant Treasurer.

Pneumonia FearfuIIy Increasing.

1.-The fact that there were 49l deaths
from pneumonia in Chicago during the
first two weeks of March need not sur
prise any one," said DR.. Bagman yes
terday. 1.-The weather has been Of q
nature to assist the progress Of all dis
cases Of this class, and people neglect
the most ordinary precautions. AT
this season nobody should expose them
selves to the cold after being over
heated. AS it is impossible to avoid
this in all cases, however, the next
best thing is to use DUFFY's PURE
MALT WHIsKEY, which is a sure
preventive of, as well as remedy for,
pneumonia, diphtheria, and all pull
mony troubles. The leading druggists
and grocers sell it, and consider il
cheap, being entirely free from al
adulterations.'

Railroad strike at an End.

lBy teleBrhpu w sho Ds'f~SHrl
CINCINNATI, june 5.-The strike
on the Kentucky Central railroad is
virtually at an end. 1t included only
the brakemen and freight conductors,
and has only had the effect of stopping
freight trains. The committee OF en-
gineers that went to Richmond to con-
fer with General-Manager Smith, of the
Ches apeake and Ohio, which operates
the Kentucky Central. has returned
with report that they accept the 10
per cent. reduction proposed by the
Chesapeake and Ohio, being satisfied
that the state of business justifies it.
They do this more readily because two
years ago, when the engineers asked an
advance of 23c. day, General-Man-
ager Smith granted it and more by
making an advance Of 4Sc. day. No
oyertures have been made in Covington
this morning by the striking freight
men, but the freight officers have re-
ceiyed orders to receive freight, and
they expect to have trains moving to-
morrow.

ports made her his mistress.

A Selinsgrove tPa.) special says !
Considerable excitement prevails here
over story that 100000 have been
deposited with the United States Trca-
surer in favor Of man by the name OF
Jacob Strickland, of Selinsgrove. It's
not Strickland, but Jacob Stricken,
who is meant. He is employed at the
depot Of the Sunbury and Lewistown
division Of the Pennsylvania railroad.
Mr.. Strickler received a letter q few
years ego from Peter Smith, Of England,
stating that this amount had been de-
posted in his favor. The services oil
Congressman L. Z. Atkinson, cx-Goyer-
nor Pollock, and an attorney from Wash
ington have been secured to get posses
sion of the fortune. In 1854 Stricken
made the acquaintance Of Smith, who
was contractor on bridge building
across the Susquehanna river at Hern'
don, and when he left he told Stricken
he would make him his heir.

How He succeeded in Playing Money Or
ders for All They Were Worth.
[By telegraph to the Dispatch.l
PORTLAND, ORE, June ga spe-
cial from Lewiston, Idaho, to the
OTeqoniaa. gives more fully the story
of the defalcation of Isaac Hibbs, post
master at Lewiston. He was appointed
in March, 1884. Last January the
registered mail-pouch was robbed, but
an official investigation developed no.
thing, and the affair was eventually
forgotten. On May I'd Hibbs left
for an alleged silver mine on
Upper Columbia. The postal in
spector, alarmed at his continued
absence, Investigated the affairs Of the
Office and found in Hibbs's writing a
receipt for large number Of registered
mail-pouches destined for fictitious
names in different post-offices supplied
from Lewiston. His mOdus operandi
was as follows Lewiston is mail-dis-
tributing point for large number OF
Offices in Northern Idaho and Eastern
Washington Territory. Hibbs would
issue money-order to fictitious name
at these offices, drawn in favor of a
bank in Iowa, where the orders were
payable. The customary letter ofad-
vice was forwarded to the paying post
master. Hibbs then wrote to the
bank that he would shortly visit the
town, enclosed the money-orders, and
requested the bank to cash them and
place the amounts on deposit
to his credit until he arrived.
Later he wrote to the bank that
he could not make the contemplated
visit, and requested that the draft for
the amount of money on deposit be re-
turned by registered mail to the ficti-
tious names attached to the money
orders, and always at some office where
the mail passed through Lewiston.
When the drafts arrived Hibbs signed
the fictitious names and returned the
receipt-cards, and the transaction was
completed. The 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 unscru.
pulous postmasters could bankrupt the
United States. The amount of the de.
falcation exceeds 100000, and is ex-
pected to reach $4,000. The postal
Inspector says the robberies will neces-
state the authorities recognizing the
money-order system ofthe United States
and elsewhere. The scheme is sur
prisingly simple, and the officers are
surprised that it was never thought OF
and worked before. John Evans.
cashier of the First National Bank ;
William Kittonback, cashier of the
Lewiston National Bank /; and Alexan-
der, Thiesser & Woodwork were
Hibbs's bondsmen for s., 900. Alexan-
der g. Thiesser were secured before
Hibbs left. Hibbs was last seen on
May Both at the second crossing Of the
Canadian Pacific railroad, on his way
to Missoula and Helfa for the purpose
Of cashing drafts ordered to be sent to
those places.

MILWAUKEE, June 5.-The junior

been robbed at all, but that he had

Victims OF the Earthquake.


LONDON, June 5.-An official dis
patch from Serinagur gives the number
of killed and wounded by the earth
quake there on Sunday and Monday
last as follows: Killed. 81 wound
ed, 100.
Official reports have not been re-
ceiyed yet from other points in the
Vale Of Cashmere affected by the earth
quake shocks, and until these come to
hand the full extent Of the calamity
cannot be known.
Unofficial reports Of the earthquake
in Cashmere are of such an alarming
character as to make it more than likely
that the earthquake will prove even more
disastrous in its effects than the first
dispatches stated them to be. Whole
cities and towns in :" The Vale" are
spoken of as destroyed. The absence
of definite news is attributed to the de-
molition of telegraphic lines in the gen.
eral wreck and chaos. In consequence
the magnitude of the calamity, the
numbers of killed and wounded are left
for the imagination to supply.
