A VERY SIMPLE SERENE.
An Ohio County Auditor Disappears
With Los of Funds,


LEBANON, o., July 20.-fSpeciaI Telegram
10 THE BEE. This county has been in q
whirl Of excitement since Saturday last,
when Al Graham, its auditor, disappeared.
The investigation has progressed far enough
to show that Graham's peculations may
reach $4,000. Graham's scheme was sim.
pie. He drew vouchers for any sum he
pleased us auditor, on any county funds he
chose, and cashed them in the treasurer's
office. AS the investigation progressed it
became apparent that the treasurer was
awfully negligent or was in collision with
Granam. The committee decided 1t
was the latter and yesterday G. +. Cole
man. county treasurer, was arrested, charged
with the embezzlement of $4,000. He was
released on s25, 900 bonds. IL is quite sure
others are guiltily cognizant OF what was GO
ing on and will be arrested Competent
authority says no one wall be surprised II
the county has been robbed of $3.50 900. A
nice legal point has already risen which may
cause long and costly litigation. Graham's
bonasmen claim that as Coleman paid out
the money on illegal warrants and without
examining them he is responsible for the
loes, and they have employed counsel and
will go into court in support Of their claim.
Coleman's bond is $3.50, 600, while Graham's
Is but $4,000.

THINGS ARE FAR FROM GAY.
\ Lively Breeze Stirred Up in st
Marks Lutheran Parish.


ST. Marks Lutheran church has lost a pas
tor. A designing mamma has lost a sou-in-law
and tho Rev. MIR. Schnur has lost his situa-
tion. He lost, it however, of his own voli
tion, which cannot be said of the parties who
sustained the other losses enumerated and
all together, these things have laden the
breezes with airy gossip through
out the parish of ST. Marks. Rev.
Mr.. Schnur is young man, and,
like all young men, allowed his thoughts to

lives with her parents at 1908 North Nine
teenth street. They decided to marry and
the fact was duly announced. But n hitch
arose. Another woman had chosen him. not
for her own, but for her daughter, and this
schcming mamma objected to the
love match and refused 20 allow
another woman to defeat her plans.
She said it was all wrong for their pastor to
love and wed without getting the advice and
consent of his flock.
Would he do itt
Not if he knew himself.
He would leave the church first, and leave
he did.

sacrifice himself, and things are far from
gay.
A BEE man called at the home of Miss
Charles last night. The young lady very
courteously refused to say anything and
tried to send the reporter around half
dozen blocks to find Rev. Mr..
Schnur when all the time that happy fell
low was quietly waiting for Miss Charles to
dismiss the visitor. But under tie circum-
Schnur should be with Miss Charles, that
the reporter lost the way within half a block
and returned to get new directions. This
was too much. The young lady broke out
laughing and called her lover to the front
Neither would say who started the story
going, but each admitted the truth of The
BEES story.
"Who told the story does not matter now.

said the young man.
"Then there is nothing settled for the

answered Mr.. Schunr, casting a rougish
glance at the fair Nina. And they smiled at
each other, just as lovers have always
smiled, and together bade the reporter go

Electric Railway Motors.

The rapid changes and improvements
which are going on in the construction
of electric railway motors have already
resulted in what may be considered
standard type of such machines. Be-
sides the complete waterproof protec-
tion now being generally introduced,
we note the addition of shield for the
prevention OF sparkling due to the extra
current produced by the variations in
the strength of the field magnets. We
note also the general adoption of the
graphite brush in street car work which,
though apparently small Improvement,
has nevertheless added much to the
smooth running Of the machines. Mod
itications such as these are rapidly
bringing the street car motor up TO an
almost ideal perfection.

The First Treaty to Be Made.

For manifest reasons, says the Globe Democrat. our first treaty ot reciproc-
 ity should be negotiated with Mexico.
 The country is our nearest neighhpr.
 and ol',r~ he best field for the promo-
 ton of our commercial interests Eu-
 ropean competitors have Us al disad-
 vantage there as things now stand.
 and we can get the trade away from
 them only by offering equal or superior
 inducements. That was what Grant
 had in view when he negotiated such
 d treaty with Mexico some years ago,
 which was ratified bv the proper auth
 critics of both countries, Iut which
 finally lapsed through the failure of our house of representatives al the instance of MT. Mills and Nr Morri- son, to pass the necessary revenue laws to carry it into effect. The work thus so well begun should Ie resumed at an early day. Those who were able to defeat ;he project in the first in- stance are powerless now to repeat the performance. The present administra- ton can make a treaty with Mexico providing for commercial reciprocity on a just and equitable basis, and con gress will not refuse any legislation that may be required in the case With success accomplished a- to Mex 1 leo. we can the more easily and profit 1. ably make like arrangements with the i various south American nations. We 1 cannot do it all at once. The worl, | must he gradually prosecuted in order | .o secure substantial and permanent results; and the place of all others to make start is in Mexico The con litions are all favorable there, if We only move promptly and in a proper ,pirit of Hberality.
