FRAUD ON A STATE TREASURY.
Interest Paid by Louisiana on Bonds That We're
Ordered Destroyed Long Ago.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 16-The constitu-
tional convention of 1879. finding that the
seminary and agricultural and mechanical

State administration, ordered the bonds
destroyed and the amounts placed to the
credit of these funds on the books of the
Auditor and Treasurer as perpetual loan.

per cent. per annum. A legislative COM
mittee reported the bonds destroyed.
but Auditor Steele now finds that great
many OF the coupons of the same bonds
have been paid, the payments appearing to
date from 1880 up to the present time. AS
the bonds and coupons are numbered, how
the fraud was not earlier discovered in
checking. up puzzles many business
comparatively small each year, not
sufficient to canse deficiency that
would attract attention and demand in

the States capacity to promptly meet all

The late deputy collector, Edwin Har-
rison. who was dismissed short time ago
for crookedness. is believed to have
been the chairman of the legislative
committee whose duty it was to have de-
stroyed the bonds and coupons;
destroyed them. The agricultural
and mechanical college and seminary
funds bonds were as follows: 81 900 bonds,
Nos. 40 to sos, inclusive; $500 bonds, Nos.
1902 to 2O65. inclusive, and 4l9 bonds of
500 each. The numbers of these bonds are
also gwen. Payment of interest on these
bonds has been stopped.

the condemned Seminary and Agricultural
and Mechanical College bonds since 1880.

however, that innocent third persons will

them null and void gives 20 indication OF
their identity by number or otherwise. :

What Irrigation would Do for Colorado.

DENVER, Col, Sept. 16.-The Senate COM
mittee now investigating the question of
reclaiming the arid lands west by means of
establishing reservoirs for irrigating pur-
poses. held a meeting to-day. Testimony
was taken from those best Informed, and
was to the effect that the entire eastern
portion of the State could be irrigated by
the reservoir system, and hundreds of thou
sands of acres of land that are now worth
less converted into the best agricultural
land on the continent; that the storage
system was ndoubtedly the most practical.
and If one-half of the water which went to
waste every year was stored there would
be more than sufficient to reclaim every
acre of land In the State. The commission
leaves for Cheyenne tomorrow.

LAST WEEK OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Dakota Democrats Apnthetic and
Renublicana Wide Awnke.

BISMARCK N. D., Sept. 25-lSpccial to
THE BEE. There remains less than u week
of the campaign IN North Dakota This, the
first election in the new state, will h ave
special significance, as it not only determines
the political complexion of two United States
senators and a congressman, but in a large
degree fixes the partisan standard of the
state for the presidential election in '92. The
republicans are in the majority. This fact is
conceded by the democrats, but they hope to
swing the state into the democratic column
in '92. Strange to say the republicans, with
their comfortable majority, are prosecuting a
vigorous campaign, while the democrats,
who, though III the minority have high am
billions, are slumbering. That there will be
republican majority there is no doubt. AS
to the number of votes in that majority there
is much speculation. AT the last election
for delegate in congress it was a little over
1000, but the republican campalgners hope
TO increase it on October / to at least 10000.
They have strong ticket in the field. The
democrats also have strong ticket, but their
indifference IN the campaign leaves clear
sailing for the republicans.
The most interesting feature of the fight is
that which touches upon United States SEN
ators There was a time when it was con-
ceded by the politicians that the two lucky
men would be Ex-Governor Pierce and eX-
Governor Ordway. So far as Pierce is con-
cerned he is meeting with little or no opposi-
ton. He will be elected by accamation, un-
less some unexpected combination arises.
Ordway has not such enthusiastic support.
He has many open opponents and will have
to fight for the place. He is located in the
Red River valley, and already the valley is

THE JEWISH NEW YEAR.
Fittingiy Celebrated by tho Hebrew
Citiz ms of Omaha.


The Hebrew New Year, variously called
Rosh Hoshouah, JON Hazikorou and Jun
Tomoh, commenced last night ut sundown.
This day is strictly observed among both the
orthodox and the reformed Jews. Instead
of being regarded as a day for general re-
joicng II is observed as time for repent
ance and the making OF good resolutions.
The congregation OF the Temple of Israel
assembled In tho synagogue on Harney
street in full force last night, TO take part
in the services.
Rabbi Rosenau ofllciated and commenced
the services with the usual New Years
readings ana prayers, followed by hymn
rendered by aquartctte, consisting of Mrs.
Cotton, Miss Pennell and the Mossrs 4. j.
Pennell aud Waiter Wilkins.
The rabbi then delivered n most excellent
sermon, taking for his text the passage in
the book of Job, 81 know that my Redeemer
u graphic word-pcture of the condition OF Job
in the days of his prosperity, when
he was surrounded by all the
comforts and Injuries which wealth
and, power could provide, and, with
his family and slaves, living in tho midst OF
plenty. There the scene changed, Ailii,.
tion came upon him: all his power and
wealth were gone; living in poverty and
wretchedness, iorsakcn by his friends, and
afflicted by disease in Its most disgusting
form, still his faith IN God was uushakon.
He answered all their SCOTS and ieers, and
comfOrtei himself with the thought, Il
know tn t my Rcdecmor hvethn
Tho rabbi then endeavored to inculcate in
the minds of his con gregation the lesson of
faith taught by Jobs forbearauce and trust.
Faith is the gold IN key which unooKs the
golden portals leading to the great beyond
and TO the glorious beattudcsn said tho
rabbi. "Happy is the man who, like Job,
can eXclaiin IN his misfortune as well as in
his Joy, Il know that my Redeemer liveth'
Were it not for the feeling within us that
even our misfortunes are for our ultimate
benefit, life would not be worth the living"
The rabbi closed by reminding his hearers
that one year was closed and another was
about TO begin, and enioned them to en-
deavor to improve every opportunity TO make
themselves better and to resolve to lead bet
ter lives.
The sermon was followed by contralto
solo by Miss Pennell, entitled Love not the
World"
Then 70 llowed the responses by the choir
and the customary memorial service for the
dead of all nations and sects.
Me,srs. Wilkins aud Penuell rendcred the
duet, "Father Source of Every Blessing"
by Fiotow, which was followed by the Dene-
dicton.

The choir had prepared most elaborate
programme for the services last night and
this morning, but owing to a very distressing
cold with which Mrs. Cotton is suffering,
they were obliged TO substitute other music
in the place of what had been intended.

CUT UP IN A HOSPITAL.
A Young New Yorker Dissected Six
Hours After Death.

NEW YoRK, Sept 25-New York doctors
have penchant for cutting up dead bodies
before the spirit has got far on its journey to
another world. The circumstances of the
butchery of the bodies of Winchester and
Bishop are still fresh in memory, but the in
dignation aroused has not had deterring
effect. IT became known to-day that the
body of young Frederick Doty, whose re-
cent night of carousal ended in his death had
been dissected in the New York hospital
without the permission of the coroner or
the family The body was under the knife
of DIR. Frank Ferguson within slX hours after
the young mars death and before any
o ne outside of the hospital knew he was
dead; all in the face Of the law which
quires that the consent of friends or rela.
tives be obtained before the autopsy IL has
been the custom of coroner's physicians to
wait until ten hours or more after death be-
fore making an autopsy, partly because de-
lay is advisable lest death should not have
taken place, and partly because the body is
then in better condition for autopsy. But
the hospital physician pcould not withstand
the temptation to cut into a good subject
early. 1t was an unusual case Young
Doty had been temperate and healthy. he
yielded to the persuasions of companions
and "went out for night OF it," In the alb
sence of his parents from the city. He
drank freely, and slipped from the hands
of his friends to the sidewalk too drunk
to stand alone. He fell heavily, and
was picked up dying. To avoid exposure and
disgrace. his companions took him to the hos
pItal. Before they arrived Doty was dead.
The physician in charge received the corpse
although the rules forbid the reception of
dead bodies. 1t was not known then that
the Young man had died from the effects of
the fall. His body was dragged into the hos
pital, his friends departed and the ambitious
doctor awaited, with knife in hand, for the
flesh TO cool. There does not seem TO have
been so much as thought of the young
mans identity; who his parents were and
how they would feel about the carving were
nobody's business just then. After the dis
section had proceeded so far as was interest
ing the body was sewed up. Word was then
sent to his friends

JONES HATED To LEAVE.
The Florida Ex-senator Asked to Give
Free Board aud Room.


DETROIT Mich, Sept -, There was an
animated scene at the Griswold house this
afternoon, the principal actors being ex-
Senator Jones, of Florida and PostofIice In
spector p. O'Neill. The ex-senator has
been living with Mr.. O'Neill for the lasttwo
years, and has been treated as one OF the
family, though he was total stranger to
MIR. ON ell till he came to Detroit He had
been gwen a home, clothes and money.
Some two months ago Mr.. O'Neill told the
ex-senator that he would like to have the
latter give up the room he was occupying,
as he wanted it for his daughter. O'Neill
offered to hire another room for Jones' use
for couple of weeks and raise purse of
5000 to take him home to Florida in good
style. The offer and request for the room
were received with contempt by Jones, who
even went so far as to write letter TO
Bishop Foley complaining that he was or
dered out of the house. This morning
O'Neill again told the ex-senator that he
must vacate the room. Jones became angry,
even abusive. O'Neil tried to reason with
the erratic Floridan and get him to consent
to go back to Florida, but the latter would
not listen and stormed about the Office of
the hotel like madman. Suddenly he
started out and walked rapidly up and down
the streets, during the walk muttering to
himself and shaking his head vcously. He
refused to state what his plans for the fu-
ture are

"A Dubious Outlook

CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-TSpecial Telegram to
THE BEE. AS mentioned in these dispatches
last night the first fruits OF the 33N per
cent local reduction to St. Paul were pro
portonate reduction as far down the Misss-
sippi as Burlington, the reduction averaging
nearly 20 per cent and going into effect yes
terday. The authority quoted supposed it
would be impossible TO limit the territory in
which the reduction was made, and the con-
tirmation came today in a noJice by the
Wabash that they must reduce rates
proportonately to Keotuk to meet
the reduction of the Burlington road at Bur-
lington. This reduction was neither author
lied nor contemplated by the Western Freight
association, and the Burlington people say
tnat to meet it, they must carry the reduc-
tion to Quincy. The Wabash people have
already said that if the Burlington does this
they will carry the reduction 10 Hannibal.
This would bring the reduction within a
dangerously near distance of st. Louis.
Should it reach that point, all the Missouri
river rates would be affected. Much anxiety

Edward Harrigan's appearance, last night
at the Grand opera house, drew the largest
audience of the season.
"Old Lavender" the attraction, played
here for the first time, was received with
the warmest appreciation. IL bears the stamp
Of Harrgan's method and illustrates the
ideas which have always governed him in
the writing of his plays. There is nothing
original either in story or situation. It's
chefcst charms lie in the directness with
which the tale is told, the accuracy with
which the characters are drawn and tho
moral which is pointed by the story.
In the title role, "Old Lavender" Mr..
Harrlgan finds "a most congenial character.
In the earlier scenes, before his disgrace,
there is, perhaps, too much artificiality in
the stars work. Dut in the later ones, both
manner and method are harmonious aud con-
sistent.
