TIE Board of Managers of the Sol
diers' Home completed their investiga-
ton of our local institution yesterday,
and will render their decision when they
reach Leavenworth, go that the public
will know the true inwardness Of things
in Q week or so. There is no divided
opinion as to what that decision will be.
The great howl that has been raised
about Gov. Treichel's mans cement OF
the Home has been clearly shown to be
unjust and ridiculous. The Tribune 8
great sensation has been proven to be a
miserable 6asco, disgraceful to journal
ism and violative of truth. An exhaust
i've inquiry has shown absolutely moth
ing Of which Governor Treichel should be
ashamed, and the members of the q. A.
r. resident in Los Angeles who we're
deceived into taking an interest in the
cock and bull narratives of the Tribune
have in substance admitted that they
were humbugged. All the indications are
that the report of the able and impartial
gentlemen who have conducted the ex-
animation will exonerate the man.
agement of the Home from censure.
Meanwhile, what is to be thought of a
journal which, in order to create little,
sickly, ephemeral sensation, with the
more sinister motive, besides. Of running
. gallant officer, and procuring his place
for q henchmsn Of it's own, has not scru-
pied to misrepresent, invent and ex-
aggerate, giving Los Angeles bad name
abroad and injuring the prospects of a
national institution which was just in it's
infancy?

A PoWDERLY SUCCESS.
The Master knight R0asts His Ene'
mics TO q Turn.


mics 20 a Turn.
ST. LOUIS, October 4.-The expecta-
ton that General Master Workman Pow
derby would reply to the numerous at
tacks which have been made upon him,
drew an immense crowd to tonight's
meeting at Turner hall. Powderly was
received with great applause. He spoke
in general way of the objects Of the or
der and said it was asked why he did not
advocate Prohibition. Simply, said he,
it. He did not advocate single tax,
though personal believer in it, because
the order had not yet announced in favor
of it.
Addressing himself to the charges
against him, Powderly spoke OF his pro-
test against the appointment of Furlong.
Constituting the reporters present as a
committee, he submitted all his docu-
ments to them. Turning to the other
documents he showed how M. B. Shaw
had garbled and falsified the evidence he
pretended to submit. Furlong's letter
in the morning papers was overhauled,
and he proceeded to demonstrate that
Furlong had conspired to entice Martin
Irons and others to attempt to tap the
wires so he could make criminal case
against the strikers.
The letters CARED to Powderly by
Blake were then taken up, and one after
another the men whose names were ap-
pended came forward and pronounced
them forgeries. No less than ten for
geries were thus proved. Powderly
then repslled the charge that he had
made public private letters of Russell
Harrison. 1t was the duty of all good
citizens to prevent the appointment of
scoundrels to positions such as Furlop 8
sought, and in lodging his protest,
Powderly said he had but performed his
duty.
From official reports, he indicated mis-
position on the stock yards strike in Chi.
cago and the great Southwestern railway
strike. None of the men who bore the
brunt of the strikes blamed him, and un.
til they did, he cared nothing for the at.
tacks of the scoundrels now aesailine
him. Powderly's interview with Goulc
and Hopkins was described, and Gould'E
reputation of his solemn promise told il
graphic language. After disposing o
these charges, Powderly asked the audi
ence:
"Have made out my case; who tol(
the lie now?"
This elected rounds of applause from
the audience. The meeting was decidedly
Powderly success.

SERIOUS CHARGES.
Alleged CrOOkedmess In the Civil
Service Com ssiOn.


Service Com issiOn.
WASHINGTON, October 4.-Some time
ago the Washington Post charged that
the Civil Service law was being violated
by the Civil Service Commission in the
appointment OF Department clerks. Sub.
sequently it made more serious charge,
viz: That examination papers were being
stolen and sold by a clerk to the COM
mission, who had been retained in office
and promoted, Notwithstanding that his
guilt had been discovered. Tomorrow
the Post will print four-colnmn article
in substantiation of this latter and more
serious allegation. 1t will say: A
lady who went to a teacher in
this city for instruction preparatory
to taking the examination, was furnished
by the teacher, for consideration, with
copy of the questions subsequently
asked. These questions, it says, were in
the handwriting of Mr.. Campbell, one of
the clerks to the commission and brother
in.law of Commissioner Lyman.
The matter was brought to Lyman's
attention by Commissioner Oberly, and
the published account says Commissioner
Lyman told Oberly that public exposure
would kill his wife, and that Campbell
was penitent. The matter was then
hushed up, although called to President
Cleveland's attention, and Campbell was
subsequently promoted at time when
Lyman was the sole 9 commissioner.
In confederation of this the Post prints
q copy of letter said to have been
written to the President, April oath, by
ex.Commissioner Edgerton, reciting the
facts of the case. Edgerton SAWS further
that there are matters connected with
the Office of the Chief Examiner which
would not bear close examination. There
is altogether too much left to the dis
erection of the commission, for through
regulations, which the commission itself
has the powers to make, and by simple
orders and varying opinions, almost any
desired result can be secured.

CHICAGO, October 4.-Dr. Elliott Coues,
of Washington, in an interview to-day,
said that at q convention of theosophists,
with whom he is associated, held in this
city, Tuesday, resolutions were adopted
expelliDg the noted high priestess of
theosophy, Madame Blavatsky, and her
New York representative, William O.
Judge. This action was taken, 80 DR..
Coues said, because Madame Blavatsky
and Mr.. Judge are inspiring attacks upon
DIR. Ooues in the press. It seems that al
though an avowed theosophist, Dr..
Coues some time ago publicly denounced
Madame Blavatsky as "fakir." At q
convention of her adherents held here in
April, DIR. Coues was declared expelled.

return to San Francisco from his trip
with the Arid Land Commission, ex-
pressed himself in the most enthusiastic
terms as to the prospects of obtaining
Congressional aid for the reclamation OF
arid lands, and as to the great good that
would result from the adoption of COM
prehensive scheme for storing water in
the States and Territories which have a
deficient rainfall. He says that the
committee have discovered that lands
that can be irrigated, in addition to the
certainty of the crops, produce twice
and thrice the quantity of any given
staple that can be grown on
unirrigated lands. That is very mild
statement Of the matter. On irrigated
lands in Southern California it is not an
unusual thing to harvest from six to
eight crops Of Chilian clover during the
year, and as to the great mass of the
lands sought to be benefited by Congress
sional legislation they would practically
yield no crops at all without irrigation.
Tho Commission sent by the United
States to examine the various irrigating
Systems of Europe and Asia, and of
which Gen. Alexander was the head,
found that lands in Spain supplied with
water rights were worth from $500 to
81 900 an acre, while other lands imme.
diately adjoining, without facilities for
irrigation, were worth only SIS an acre.
That the wealth of the United States can
be enormously increased by an intelli-
gent application of the national money to
the storage Of water cannot be doubted,
and there should be no hest
tation in appropriating from five
to ten million dollars year
for that purpose for decade to come. 1t
would be money really iudiciously in
vested. The addition of four new West.
ern States, all of which contain immense
bodies Of arid lands, ought to largely
strengthen the friends Of such sppropria'
tions, and it undoubtedly will. All the
new Senators and Representatives will
be enthusiastic friends of such meas.
ure. Some months ago the San Der.
nardino Tsmes-Inder suggested thai
it would be we'll to call an Arid Land
Convention to meet in Los Angeles, and
the HERALD warmly seconded the propo
sition, and added that our Chamber o.
Commerce would be q fitting body te
initiate such a movement. The sugges
ton, however, seems to have fallen fat
and nothing has been done in further
ance of it. By uniting with the inAu
-ences that are at work for q deep ses
hsrbor on the Texas coast, q formidable
interest looking to the development of the
western country could be consolidated
"A convention has just been held te
further the harbor proposition, and il
would be an excellent idea to follow it w
with one in advocacy of the arid lane
improvement. Fifty millions of dollars
spent in California, Nevada, Montana
the Dakotas, Arizona, Washington and
New Mexico, during period Of ter
years, would add thousand million dol
lars to the national wealth, and woulG
lead up toa remarkable development al
unique as it would be remunerative. w,

There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all 9th
er diseases put together, and until
the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For a great many
years Doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local reme-
dies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitution
al disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls

iECUHE 4 HOME n THE LAND OF FlDWHs
DlNSM0REl

One OF the growing towns of the
South, is situated On both sides of
Savan ah, Florida & Western
Railroad, just twelve miles from
Jacksonville, Fla. 1t is high, dry
and level, and a successful horti.
cultural and truck-growing section
of the State. Dinsmore can be
easily reached from Jacksonville by
railroad, by water route, or by an
hour and half drive over an excel
lent plank and shell road.
Dinsmore is not one of the isola-
ted spots that is only laid out on
paper, but a thriving prosperous
town that recommends itself to
capitalist and laborer, to fathers
and wives who are vigilant over
their own interests and the welfare
of their children, to those who are
seeking homes and those who have
capital to invest for speculation.
The land can be obtained at re-
markably low figures and on terms
suitable to the condition of every
purchaser. At the present low
figures a poor man can make regu-
lar payments on a valuable home
with less than the aggregate of
unnecessary expense Or money act
ually thrown away. II is an in
vestment that one cannot regret
and through which you will realize
many times the amount invested.
The prices are for Front Business
Lots one acre, $65, $50, $35. Sec
ond choice, $25 $18. Third choice
$15. Fourth choice $40. Fifth
choice, SIS. 1t must be remember
ed that these are acre lots.
We also have vegetable and
truck farms laid out adjacent to
Dinsmore, containing from FIVE to
sixteen acres each, which we offer
for the benefit of those who wish to
farm at S. acre.
Our terms are one fourth cash
and balance in one, two and three
years.
The chain of title will be short
and strong. It is from the State of
Florida to the Railroad and from
the Railroad to you.
eTruck farming around Dinsmore
would be at the door of two of the
greatest markets in the South. Let
every poor man if with but one
dollar, commence to buy lot in
Dinsmore. The fare from Jackson.
vile and return is only twenty-five
cents. Think of it. There are
eight passenger trains per day and
the round trip will only cost TWEEN.
ty-fve cents. Trout creek, a large
streams passes right through the
vicinity, thus affording pure fresh
water for stock, perfect drainage
and abundance of fish.
TAKE WARNING NOW, and
do not let this grand opportunity
slip you. 1t is the very best chance
you will have to secure a good
piece of valuable property and such
startling prices.
The merchants in Dinsmore are
enjoying a good trade and the
town is rapidly growing. Saw
mills are convenient for securing
timber to build, and laborers who
desire work can get from a dollar
and a half to two dollars per day.

and how to see Dinsmore, call on
