VERY SERIOUS CHARGES.
A Boston Lawyer Makes Som'
Strange Discoveries.

n oOSUOD Lawyer NIdkCS
Strange Discoveries.
WASHINGTON, Sept. What promises
TO be an interesting case OF irregularity
was discovered in the Treasury Depart.
ment on Saturday. There are still thou
sands of Alabama awards that have not
been paid. A very serious hitch over
large proportion OF them grew out OF the
fact that Mir. Manning, a Boston lawyer,
was dIsbarred by the so-called Alabama
court and an effort made not to have
drafts made payable to his order. Comp
troller Durham listened to almost eudless
arguments from lawyers and claim agents
on the subject of who should have the
drafts, and finally ruled thar in all cases
when there were doubts the drafts should
be held by the Treasurer until the ques-
zion could be settled among the claimants
by the attorneys being paid their fees or
j n some other way. Everything seemed
10 be moving along satisfactorily under
this order up TO the time Comptroller Dur
ham was taken i'll. Nearly 1000 OF these
warrants had accumulated in the warrant
divisions in the Treasury. twas decided
that all contested warrants should be 30
marked. On SATURDAY. Mr.. Manning came
10 the Treasurer's Office and found an
other attorney, with whom he had
contest over several cases,
receipting on tue Treasury's book
for the drafts. Mr.. Manning
protested that the draft should be held
MIR. Harrington, the clerk VINO had the
matter in charge, said they were not so
marked. and ne could do nothing about il
except to issue them. Mr.. Manning urged
that they should be held for a nall hour
Till he could see the treasurer, but even
this was not done, and the drafts were
duly delivered to bis opponent. Mr.. Man.
ming then Immediately laid the case be-
fore Treasurer Jordan, and the latter is
sued an order stopping payment on them
until the whole matter can be sited to
the bottom. Those who know the most
about tile case are certain That there has
been some decidedly crooked work In
this matter. In the first place,
1t is said that the drafts in
question were taken out OF their order.
They were we'll known to be in contro-
versy, and yet no mark to indicate IT WAS
put upon them. AS soon as inquiry began
10 be made, seve al clerks were found
who said they had been tempered with by
parties in interest. One clerk was offered
S26 TO perform a certain service, and an
other was told that II he would put a GER
tain warrant on top Of the pile there
would be $50 in 1t for him. This clerk
Immediately put the warrant In question

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 8.-Again a re-
markable case of cure by faith in prayer is
reported from Anderson, to which is at
tached a physicians certificate. Mrs.

Four years ago 1 became Frustrated

to receive relief. l would often have
three or four attacks of heart disease in "A
day. | was compelled to have an attend
ant with me wherever l went. My pulse
one minute would be perfectly natural,
and the next would probably be los or
even higher. l would become cold and
lifeless, with apparently no circulation OF
blood through my system. Never was L
free from pain until one night l arose and
prayed to God to restore me to health, or
give me religion to die by, and then i'm
mediately all pain LETT me, aud all of a
sudden a supernatural light filed
my room and l could see
the dial olthe clock and note the time, while
to ordinary sight my room was in perfect
darkness. From that time TO this have

of heart disease since July 81, and be.

corroborated Mrs. Simpsons story
throughout. He adued that her case was
the worst he ever cOutended with, Mrs

AN ARKANSAS IDEA.
A Proposition for a Mammoth Min
strel Company.

strel Company.
LITTLE Rock, Sept. S.-A novel propo-
sition has been made to Capt. James r.
Miller, lessee OF the Arkansas State peni-
Ientiary, by an enthusiastic individual
who Is confident that he has scheme by
which every person connected with the
prison can acquire all the wealth they
will need for the balance OF their days,
and in addition to this he believes that
money enough can be made out of the EN-
terprise TO pay off the public debt OF Ar
kansas. He is a well-known citizen of
Little Rock, who has spent the greater
part OF his existence in trying to evolve
from his brain some scheme that
would bring return of UNI
told millions TO himself and friends
whom he might solicit 10 assist him in
carrying out the project. 1t is the pur-
pose OF this enthusiast 10 organize
mammoth minstrel show of 100 convict
members and take them through the coun-
try and give regular minstrel perform
ances, the members OF this company 10
still retain their convict suits and To De
billed as the Great Arkansas Convict
Minstrel Show OF 100 members. 1t il
notorious fact that there are great num-
Der OF musical genluses confined IN the
pen and also that the forming OF
sucn communion, nc suggested by
the above, is quite feasible, yet
the convict laws OF the State
would first have to undergo such mOdi-
tication by a legislative body that even d
Philadelphia lawyer would not recognize
them as ever having related to ''contne-
meut Tor crime" should be meet them in
the course OF his travels. Capt. Miller
informed your correspondent that while
he bad no doubt radical changes won d
be made in our convict laws by our next
Legislature, he at the same time thought
the scheme proposed by his friend out Of
the question, and refuses the proposition
for farming out his help Tor any such
purpose.

The New Currency,

Exchange: The national banks are re
firing their currency quite rapidly, and it il
fortunate that the silver circulating notes,
in small denominations, are now being
issued.
The elements of confidence In this cur
rency are such that il will be as uniform
in par value. and as current everywhere,
as are the greenbacks and national bank
notes.
On the back of every silver note is
plainly printed this legalized condition:
This certificate is receivable for Gus.
toms, taxes and all public dues, and when
SO received may be reissued."
They can be legally counted in national
bank reserves, and no national bank can
be a member of any clearinghouse that
refuses these notes in settlement Of debtor
balances.
These conditions sIe such that the silver
notes will be as popular and as universally
current as greenbacks.

INTERESTING TO EUREKA
VOTERS.

the Fortunate Nominees for
County HOnors VIII Receive N,
Compensation During Theii
Terms of Office.
Inasmuch as the general election
throughout this State will take place
within the next eight days, the following in
formation will doubtless prove Of Interest
to voters Of Eureka county: For The
State Senate we have az nominees on the
two tickets Hon. NJ. d. Foley and Gen.
Thomas Z. Haley. The compensation
allowed by the statutes for this Office is 81
per day during the session of the Legisla-
ture for each day of actual attendance,
payable weekly, and rs cents per mile for
mileage to and returning from place of
meeting, also a sum not exceeding $50 Tor
postage, expressage, newspapers and sta
tionery. For Members of the Assembly,
for which we have S. j. Beebee, Alec
Fraser and j. L. Smith on the one side
and f. j. Mette, Thomas McGovern and
G. F. Erdly on the other, will receive the
same compensation as the Senators.
The Sheriff Of Eureka county, W. II.
Sweeney and VIM. Stinson nominees, re-
ceive no salary and are dependent upon
fees. The County Recorder, who is also
ex-oficio Auditor. W. s. Beard and P. n.
Hansen nominees, receives fees, and in ad-
dition sum not to exceed $500 per annum
for extending the taxes on the assessment
roll and 500 per month as Auditor.
There is, however, a question about the
latter compensation, as the Act of 1885
does not mention it, and says that the fees
mentioned shall be full compensation for
all services and ex-oficio services required
by law, but in the body of the Act itself
appears the language, "And such
other compensation as is allowed
by law" after mentioning the fees.
The County Clerk, F. Il. Har-
mon and A. A. Andre nominees, is wholly
dependent upon fees. The County Treas
urer, H. T. Hoadley and f. J. Bremen
kampf nominees, receive a salary Of 50, 400
per annum. The Assessor, G. @. Wallace
and Ross Wright nominees, receives a salary
of So, 900 per annum for four years. The
superintendent Of Public Schools, James
Laird and E. D. Vanderlieth nominees,
5000 per annum The District Attorney,
Peter Breen and r. NJ. Beatty nominees,
81, 800 per snnum, and $50 for a conviction
of felony and S25 for conviction OF misde-
meanor in District Court, and SIS for a
like conviction in the Justice Court. The
County Commissioners, VIM. Arlington
and G.. A. Fletcher for long term. and l..
W. CromeY ana John Gregovitch for short
term, receive 5000 per annum and mileage.
The Justice OF the Peace, BENZ, Sanders
aud Ned McSorley. and the Constables, f.
o. German and G. Ravell nominees, re-
ceive nothing but fees. The only compen-
sstion of School Trustees is the honor OF
the position and the admiration of school
marms.

A DISASTROUS DRIVE.
About 10000 Head of Cattle Die Of
Starvation.

About 10000 Head OF cattle uie Oh
Starvation.
A cattleman who has returned to Walla
Walla from Northern Montana states hat
the Neidringhaus' drive of cattle from
that county to British Columbia has
proved a disastrous failure to the st.
Louis Cattle syndicate, OF which Mr.. Neid-
ringhaus is a prominent member. For
a time the drive, consisting OF 40, 1000 head oil
cattle, p~rospered finely, but as the unusu'
ally dry seszon in Montana progressed the
grass became s~carcer, and streams OF
water fewer and farther between. The
stock began to weaken and fall by the
wayside, and as days passed by food
became scarcer and the animals died
by the hundreds. The herders even suf-
fered great privations for water, and sc
desperate did the situation become when
nearing the British line, Mr.. Neid-
ringhaus ordered the drive abandoned
and the herders to reach the Northern
Pacific railroad as best they could. Ihe
scene about the drive was a most pitable
one. The cattle were reduced to skin
and bones, and were so weak from fatigue
and want of nourishment that they would
stand still until they fell in their tracks to
die. Their meanings and ~bellowings were
fearful to hear. A cold, dry, piercing
wind which was sweeping over the country
did much TO complete the situation
Cattlemen are of the opinion that the
syndicate will not have 200 head of stock
next Spring out of the immense herd
driven from this country. Their loss IN
that case will reach $3.50, 900.
