A Dakota woman.s Flyer in wheat.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Oct. 2.-Secre-
tary Sturteyant entertained a woman
visitor at the Chamber of Commerce who
will be likely to remember the occasion
as an extremely pleasant one. At her
request the secretary brought in and in
troduced her to a broker, who took her
order to buy some December wheat. The
woman claimed to know that the wheat
crop was damaged considerably, having
come from Dakota as a missionary to en-
Tighten the world in that respect. After
remaining in the Office about an hour she
ordered her deal closed, and sold at a
profit of $G35. This did not Salty her,
however, and before she left she had
bought and sold again, increasing her
profits to 81, 00O.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2-The treasury
department having discovered Mrs. Beck
er's system of pieJing out the mutilated
money that passed through her hands
for cancellation, would now like to deter
mine how much she has realized since
she began to practice the fraud. Five
/; days work resulted in a shortage of S944,
but there will be no way of finding out
! what had been extracted previous TO the
| last week, as the money hitherto re-
deemed has gone into the chopping-
machine and macerator, and the greater
share of it is now in the toy shops in the
shape of papier-mache ornaments. A
shortage of nearly 81 900 in the handling
of five days gives room for magnificent
suspicious rs to what has been taken in
the twenty-five years she has been in the
redemption division. Mrs. Becker was
simply a 5000 clerk, yet for the last two
or three years she has been quite an in
weston in real estate, owning the house
in which she lives, another in
the rear, and several lots on
Carlton Heights, near the city,
on one of which she took g

This house had progressed far enough to
need mantels, and it was because she alb

when her chief of division had occasion
so have her work inspected, that the
patched notes which told the story were
discovered. Mrs. Becker has been i'll of
nervous prostration since the exposure,
but during the week sent for a lawyer
and had a long conference with him.
The commission appointed to investi-
| gate the business methods of the redemp-
ton division of the treasury department
is not inclined to follow the usual course
adopted by the department Investigators.
The testimony of witnesses will not be
considered. The commission will itself
make an inspection of the work as now
done, and will thereafter decide what
changes in the system are advisable. A
package of money will be followed
through the regular channel, and thus it
will be learned what each employe has
to do with it. This plan of investigation
| will also inform the commission as to
the existing opportunities for the ex-
traction of notes from the packages.

Mr.. Grady had a narrow escape from

refused to eat any more, saying they

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-The sessions Of
the house are very brief these days it is
only the fact that the deficiency bill has
not yet been finally acted upon, that
keeps the lower branch of congress in
session at all. 1t is expected that this
measure will be gotten out of the way
now within a day or two, when 1t is unr
derstood there will be an adjournment
for three days until the senate shall have
gotten along with the consideration of
the tariff bill. There were less than
100 members of the house present, and
for this reason it was impossible to Sc
cure the consideration of any measure of
Importance. AS the days 60 past, the
likelihood of any legislation of any con-
sequence whatever grows less and less,
and the house will be from this time for
ward, until after the elections, In recess
