An Elaborate Religious Swindle.
HOW GULLIBLE MISSOURI FARMERS WERE
DUPED OUT OF $4,000.

OUT OF $XO,UOU.
WARRENsBURG, Mo-, March 1.-Chas. n.
Smith, who was arrested here ON last Friday,
had succeeded, by q well-devised swindling
scheme, in defraudtng the Inhabitants of this
and adjoining counties to the amount OF
tended TO have been specially ordained by God
to form a new secret order. from which was to
grow a new and the only true religion. Accord.
fngly he began establishing the order of the
''Star of Heaven" He would grant q charter to
any six persons who applied for 1t, provided
each paid into the common fund twenty-five
dollars. Charter members pledged themselves
not to take more than six members into lodge,
thus allowing only twelve members of lodge
Then he had prophetic visions in which great
avenues Of wealth were opened up to him. On
the basis Of these visions he induced his dupes
to mortgage their farms to the order, and thus
tary had charge Of the notes, deeds and mort
cages of the lodge, which he turned over TO the
treasurer. Smith was financial agent OF all the
lodges, and here is where the swindle is. When
the lodge was organized the first duty of the
financial agent was to purchase land near some
town, divide 1t into town lots, which were pur-
chased by members of the lodge from the fnan-
cial agent, as follows: A member paid $50 fer a
lOt-one-third cash and note for the balance
bearing 10 per cent interest, and gave mort
gage on the lot. He then got $50 of the treasu-
rer gave 1t and his note for 500 to the hnan-
cial agent, and gave the treasurer receipt for
$50. The agent returned $50 to the treasurer
and had the note for 500. In this way each
member got lot and the agent many notes Of
from 500 TO $500 each. The notes were good.
The agent sold them and got rich in this man
ner. His victims are numbered by the hum

A Nomination RecOnsideFed.
CHARGES AGAINST MR.. CAMPBELL, THE NEW
MINNESOTA NARSHAL

In the case Of Mr.. Campbell, who was re-
Gently confirmed by the Senate as u. S. mar
shall for Minnesota, the President has been
notified that @ motion to reconsider the confir-
nation has been entered. 1t seems that sub
sequent to the confirmation charges against
Campbell affirming that he had been a lobbyist
before the Minnesota legislature and making
other allegations, were forwarded TO Senator
Edmunds- He entered the motion to recon-
slider, and in accordance with the custom the
President was notified of it, and Campbelfs
commission has not been issued. 1t Is pre-
sumed that the motion to reconsider
was entered within the two legislative
days as required by the rule, but
this is a matter that the democrats intend to
look into. At this session the republican ma
iority of the Senate adopted q rule prohibiting
combinations being certified to the President
until after the expiration of the time in which
a motion to reconsider can be made. This
action was intended to cover such cases as that
OF the Minnesota marshal, and to enable the
majority OF the Senate To make change OF Its
mind with regard to a confirmation effective,
without any publicity. 1t 10 presumed that
Campbelps confirmation was withheld until
the expiration of the two days. but as the Exec
utive received formal notice of the motion to
reconsider the commission was withheld, it
not being the province of either the President
or the Attorney General to inquire into Sena-
torial proceedings. The democratic Senators
will examine into this point, however. The
charges against Campbell are understood to
emanate from Ignatius Donelly, the independ-
ent greenbacker Of Minnesota

At 2:4o p. m. the Senate doors were re-opened
and the chair laid before the senate q lengthy
message from the President bearing on the
right Of the senate or Senators to have access
TO papers, etc, in the executive department
relating TO suspensions from office.
The President takes the ground that the
papers regarding suspensions are not official,
ana on that ground he refuses 10 furnish
the Information demanded. He will will
nngly furnish all information desired
regarding appointees, but suspension
discretionary with the executive, and therefore
ne holds that all papers connected with such
suspensions are private.
There are no grounds for an allegation that
the tear OF being found false TO my Pro
iessions influences me In deciin-
Ing TO submit 70 the demands Of the Senate.
nave not constantly refused 20 suspend ofn-
ciais and thus incurred the displeasure of po-
nicsl friends. and yet willfully broken faith
them.
The message concludes as follows: "Neither
toe disoontent Of party friends nor the allure
ments constantly offered OF combinations Of APP
polntees conditioned upon the avowal
That suspensions have been made on
party grounds alone, nor the threat
proposed in the resolutions before the Senate
mat no combinations will be made unless the
demands OF that body be complied with, are
sufhcient to discourage or deter me from follow
ing In tho way which I am convinced leads to
better government for the people"
The Presidents message consists OF 80 pages
OF foolscap on the subject OF papers relating 10
the suspended officiaiA
