derness, Antietam, Charlottesville, Chick
amauga, Manassas, Shiloh, Stones River,
Petersburg ASSAULT. But though Gettysburg
was the greatest battle of the war, or ag-
gregate loss being $4,000, Antietam was the
bloodiest battle. More men were killed on
that one day than on any other one day of
the war. There were greater battles, with
greater loss of life, but they were not fought
out on one day as at Antietam, when the
bloody work which commenced at sunrise
was over at o'clock in the afternoon.
These facts cleaned here and there from
COL Fox's tables illustrate the value of the
work. 1t is permanent addition to our
growing war literature, and Col. Fox is en-
titled to the gratitude not only of those who
are interested in the history of the war, but
of every comrade who participated in its
battles. The price of the book Is So.

There are fewer conyicts in the Iowa
penitentiaries today than there were three
years ago, though the State has been in
creasing in population In that time. The
Iowa State Register thinks this change is
due to the closing of the saloons of the State
through the prohibitory law. There are a
few places like Keokuk where. en- square
test, majority votes against enforcing the
prohibition law. But Iowa is State of few
large cities. and as, in Maine, public senti-
ment is SO strongly in favor of prohibition
that in four-ffths Of the counties the law is
well enforced.

The Massachusetts, Legislature has passed
a bill requiring railroads to publish quarterly
reports of their receipts and expenses Hith-
erto they have been obliged to publish them
but once year. though some Of the railroads
have voluntarily done so oftener. The law
is onet be commended. As the securities
of railroads are continually urged upon the
public for investment it lis right that the
public should have frequent information of
the condition and prospects of the railroads
that guarantee them. 1t is no doubt fact
too that publicity is one of the best safe
guards the owners Of railroads can have
against mismanagement by the directors A
great deal of the recklessness that has char
acterized the management of some of our
railroads would never have been, had the
directors had full appreciation of their re-
sponslbility TO the owners of the property.

The Oklahoma excitement appears to have
largely died out. This may be due to the
fact that the imaginative reporters have
been fully occupied for a week past at the
Centennial, and have had no need to spin
yarns about the boomers to fill up with, or it
may be due to the cooling off OF the boomers
enthusiasm. AT any rate. peace and quiet
seem to prevail in the new territory, and the
men who have staked out claims are going
to work to earn their living by the sweat Of
their brows. The only disquieting feature
OF the situation is the apparent intention on
the part Of some of the boomers who did moi
get the claims they wanted to invade the
Cherokee strip and squat on that territory
Gen. Merritt, however, is keeping close
watch. and has force sufficient to drive
out the invaders unless they become very
numerous, utt- lltl-sgss

THE RELIEF FUNDS STOLEN.
= Disgraceful Conspiracy Exposed at spo
kane Fails, w. I.


SPOKANE FALLS, w. T., Sept. 1S.-A very
disgraceful exposure has just been made
at this place which duplicates two mem
bers OF the common council of this city
and police officer. The names of the
persons implicated are Sidney d. Walters,
Peter Dueber and William Gillespie
These men are charged with having formed
q conspiracy to appropriate the funds and
supplies furnished by contribution for the
relief of those who suffered bv the recent
disastrous fire at Spokane. Several weeks
ago Robert Inglis was arrested at Chico,
Cal, on a charge OF having sold provisions
and other supplies and appropriating the
proceeds.
He was suspected, but made his escape
from Spokane Falls. However he was
captured at Chico, and, on being brought
back, made the startling statement that a
conspiracy existed among the officials and
others for the appropriation of the relief
supplies on large scale Inglis was ex-
amined and admitted to bail, but has since
disappeared. The suppOsition is that he
was bought off. A partial investigation
has been made. 1t shows that several
thousand dollars worth of goods have
been stolen and converted into money A
report has been made, which seriously i'm
plicates COuneilmen Dueber and Waters
and Police Officer Gillespie.
4 bitter feeling prevails over the expos
ure. At meeting held here it was re-
solved to protect the city's good name by
prosecuting 10 the full extent of the law
all who are suspected Of completely in this
disgraceful proceedings. Warrants were
sworn out by A. NJ Cannon, chairman of
the relief committee, for the arrest of Sid
new ID Matters Peter Duabar and XVifIiaD,
Gillespie on a charge OF grand lar
ceny, and they were arrested. 1t is
understood that other warrants will be
sworn out tomorrow. 1t has long been
suspected that conspiracy exists in the
council for the purpose of Doodle, and a
permanent citizens committee has been
organized to protect the people against a
recurrence OF official misconduct of any
character.
The people keenly feel the disgrace that
has fallen upon the city, and are deter
mined to let no guilty person escape.
Military men state that Wflters, who is
an officer in the territorial militia, will
surely be court-ln artialed for conduct I'M
becoming an officer. Both he and Dueber
will be requested to resign as members Of
the citv council
Walters. Dueber and Gillespie appeared
before Justice Cumming yesterday. The
examination was sent for Saturday. and
they were released on bonds of 81 900
each. They engaged some of the ablest
attorneys IN the city 10 defend them.
There is great excitement over the arrests.
The relief committee has adopted vigor-
Gus measures for the discovery of the
whereabouts of Robert Ingis. who for
1eited his bond, and it is expected he will
ha oarfrrra1
