While Col. Kelly was initiating
Gen. Buell. into the methods of con-
Quoting the Office, he took no pains
to point out this deficiency TO him,
And nobody can blame him for wish
ing to put off the evil day as long as
possible. The Republican rascals
yonder at Washington yet holding
positions under an honest Democrat
ic administration were, no doubt,
naturally doing all they could TO
keep the deficit pigeon-holed. Pen
sions are paid quarterly on the first
Monday in March, June, September
and December of each year. At these
periods it therefore becomes necessa-
ry for the Pension Agent to draw
heavily on the Treasury. 1t is said
that Col. Kelly managed his shortage
by keeping it under the head of Gan
unexpended balance in the New
York sub-Treasury." There can be
hardly a doubt, though, that his de-
falcation was known to the Republi-
can officials in the Treasury depart.

not know it they were set of dolt'
and blunderheads, and it would be
safe to assert positively that they hat
full knowledge of it.

The remainder necessary to make
up the deficit, amounting to $736.20
was contributed by Col. Kelly from
the proceeds of farm in Florida,
which lie sold.
And thus the matter was arranged,
and Col. Kelly could breathe more
freely. The only thing now for him
to fear is prosecution by the Gov
eminent for Misrepresentation of
funds. Miss Mary Anderson, who
came to his relief with a generous
donation of $500, is the celebrated
actress, and she was in no way liable
for his deficit. 1t is not probable
that the four cash subscribers, of

Natures Joy"

There is a charm in shady groves,
Where summer zephyrs idly play,
There is contentment where the
wild bees roves,
And where bright carols usher in the
day;
But when disease has banished joy,
Has turned 10 darkness, health once
had,
When what we prize serves only to
annoy,
And foul despair is even on our way,
Take heart, for the blessing ever
pray,
Gooch's Mexican Syrup will Con-
sumption Stay.

for swindling railroad has just been I'M
earthed and traced to its originators by p.
>. Eustis, general passenger and ticket
agent of the Burlington az Missouri. Some
time ago Mr.. Eustis overheard man in a

recently travelled on over the Burlington q

Eustis traced up scheme. and just caused
the arrest of John l.. Gideon and Donald
G. Allan. both of Omaha, and clerks in the
auditors Office of the road. Their
plan of operations was to take tickets to the
office for cancellation and by mutilating one
corner where the conductors punch mark
should have been and making a large ''B"
over the place for another punch mark. to
make the tickets appear as though improp-
erly punched and then certified to by the
baggagemaster. The tickets thus prepared
were disposed of TO brokers. 1t is the be-
lief of Eustis that this work has been going
on several months. and the amount stolen
from the company will consequently reach
several thousand dollars, although Eustis
cannot tell the exact amount. He in
tends to send both men to the penitentiary.
