startling News About Partner Miller.


The attorney general is distinguished for his
courtesy and kindlinesS of manner. When he
speaks you know he is going to say something
friendly and pleasant and when he looks at
you there is such a mild. yet merry twinkle in
his eyes that you feel you have known him all
your life. He is a man of ordinary build, has
hair and beard that are making desperate
efforts to turn gray, and voice that does not
resound with western harshness nor speak with
a Yankee twang.
Said he, when | saw him:
81 have just consummated work begun
several days ago which is more pleasing than
anything have yet done in my official life.
have changed mans death sentence to that
of imprisonment for life. The president has
just signed his reprieve. Ii is very serious
thing TO have a mans life in your hands,
In answer to a question as to whether women
had often come before him for sentence, Mr..
Miller said
Not in our federal courts. During my long
experience in indianapolis | do not think
have had more than two or three women
brought before me for misdemeanors OF any
kind. Those | speak of have generally been
counterfeiters Woman's greatest crime seems
to be that of smuggling" said Mr.. Miller with
Q smile, "but in the inland city of indianapolis
have not had much to do with that oilense."

THE LEAD KINGS FAILURE.
SOME VERY STRANGE DISCLOSURES.
The Real Reason of Nathan Corwith's Sud.
den Descent to Poverty Was Almost
Repetition of the Plot in the
Play OF s'rhe Henrietta.n

CHICAGO, May 12-Strange disclosures fol-
lowed tonight when it was announced that
Nathan COrwith, ST., has been very i'll in this
city, and that his death might occur at any
minute. Corwith, year ago, was the
richest lead merchant in America, if
not in the world The approach of death
caused inquiries which resulted in obtaining
the heretofore unknown story of his sudden
descent to poverty as told by one of his former
associates The superstition has been that Cor
wlth's gigantic failure in business was solely
the result of an ill-timed attempt 10 corner the
lead supply of the world. As now revealed,
plot IN the play of The Henrietta" Tx
County Commissioner Donnersberger, who ex-
amined the books of Corwith after the failure,
is the source of the new information.
The facts as related are in brief that Cor
with's every move In speculate on was being
"coppered" with his own capital by his own
son, GurdOn Corwith, and that before the in
evitable crash came 81, 100000 had been with
drawn from the old mans Golfers and
sunk in operations in which the younger
Corwith had become involved. Young
Corwith was at the time a metal broker
in New York and induced the father to believe
that he had exclusive information regarding
the plans of the French copper syndicate to
lead. COrwith, sr., was IN poor health and al
lowed the son unusual leeway. Until the
actual collapse was reached, COrwith believed
that he had an enormous amount of lead on
hand and paid for, when the fact was that the
lead purchased had been already sold and
the proceeds utterly wiped out by young
Corwith's operations Donnersberger and
other close friends of the elder Cor
with were called to New York
and in the face of opposition from Gurdon
Corwitn discovered, after closely Analysing the
books and tracing up consignments, the real
state Of affairs Young Corwith was placed in
fbo
released and the father shouldered the burden,
making whatever settlement was possible. The
ailment from which old Nathan Corwitk has
been suffering, the doctors say, is heart trouble.

WHERE ARE THEN
Those s'Good Times" That Harrison's Flee
ton Was To Bring


To THE EDIToR-Sir: Is the present a
specimen of the good times that were to come
in as soon as Harrison was elected? Business
in almost almost all lines is duller all over this
country than for ten years past. Failures in
business have been very frequent for six
months past The loaners of money have little
difficulty in bringing borrowers TO their terms
and placing money at good paying interest
rates. The iron trade, the most extensive OF
any in the country, has been dull and droop-
ing Strikes still continue and many corpora
tons are demanding that their employees accept
lower wages or cease from labor. Said BUSH
ness man 10 me the other day: Il have been
engaged in business fortwenty-seven years, but
have never known business SO dull and slug
gish in Charlottesville as now" The same
complaint Is heard IN numerous other places
through the west.
What was not promised in the way of pros
perity during the last campaign by republican
orators IN the event of Harrison's election! IL
we would only vote for the tariff candidates
and continue to help manufacturers In adding
to their wealth, there was no calculating the
advantages it would be to the laboring men
and merchants of this country. The laboring
men Of this country already see what all those
assertions amount to. They can realize in re-
duced wages, unreduced rents, ETC., the pros
perity that was to be enjoyed just as soon as
Harrison was elected. Nearly six months have
passed since that event. and instead of better
times in business the opposite is seen.
The democratic policy which favored re-
duction OF the tariff, and not the continuation
of laws wholly in the interest OF the wealthy,
is the correct one. Four years of Harrison's
prosperous p times will, no doubt be enough
for the country.
l am with you in the reforms that you adyo-
cate w. B. HARDEE.

Condition of the Cron,.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Weather crop bule-
tin for the week ending Saturday, May II,
says: The weather during the week through
out the southern states and central valleys has
been unfavorable 10 the crops, owing to the de-
6ciency of rain. This has been especially the
case in the Ohio valley, where the total absence
of rain, combined with unusually high tempera-
ture, has augmented drought conditions previ-
ously reported, and some damage has resulted
to wheat oats and tobacco along the Ohio
river. In the Northwest the general effect OF
the week was to improve the crop conditions
This statement applies 10 Dakota, Iowa. Ne
braska, Kansas northwest Missouri and por-
tons of northern Illinois. Some replanting in
this section will be necessary owing to the
high Winds which uncovered and scattered
seeds. The weather was favorable for corn
planting throughout the corn belt, Dakota re-
ing well advanced. The condition Of the fruit
crop is encouraging in all sections.

In an UnenviabIe light.

To THE EDITOR-Sir: The Van Antwerp,
Bragg & Co. circular of April IL says: "The
constitution of Indiana provides that No act
shall take effect until the same shall have been
published and circulated in the several counties
of the state by authority" There the pre-
tended quotation from the constitution ends.
1t is made TO end with a period, to indicate to
the innocent trustee who reads il that it is a
complete sentence, and to lead him TO conclude
that it is ali that the constitution says on the
subject. But il he will turn to the conStitu-
ton he will find see. 2S OF art. to read fol-
lows: mo act shall take effect until the same
shall have been published and circulated in the
several counties Of this state by authority eceDt
IA case Of emergency, lchich emergency shall be
declared iB the preamble or at The body Of the
id'e." The circular omits all that is italicized
above. If all of the sentence had been printed
in the circular, trustees might have been curl
Gus enough TO inquire whether the school book
law had an emergency clause 'in the preamble
or in the body of the law" Some trustees may
now inquire if it is honest to attempt TO de-
ceive by printing part of a sentence as a CON-
plete one. The fact that there is an emergency
clause TO the law places the firm who issued
the circular containing the mutilated quotation
In an unenviable light. Y.

WAS SWEPT BY A CYCLONE.
TERRIFIC STORM IN KANSAS.
Many Houses Demolished, One Person
Killed and Thirty Forty Others
More Less Injured-Over
Hundred People Homeless.

HUTCHINSON, Kas., May S.-The news
reached this city yesterday that the wind-storm
that had been raging for the last three days
had eliminated in cyclone in the northern
part of Pratt county, extending over the
eastern portion of Stafford and up into Rice
county. The district over which it passed was
sparsely settled, and but for this fact the loss
OF life and property would have been terrible
The cyclone first struck al point about five
miles southeast Of Stafford, and for miles in a
northeaSterly direction left nothing but a bar
rem waste, strewn with the wrecks of houses
and barns, trees and fences, with here and
there the bodies of stock, either killed or Grip
pied by the wind. The only person killed out
right was William Crawford, whose neck was
broken by the flying timbers of his house,
which was totally demolished
The casualties, so far as known are:
WILLIAM CRAWFORD, neck broken.
WILLIAM BOLT, fatally injured.
OLIVER BEARD, paralyzed; cannot recover.
Jason BEARD, internally injured; VIII die.
A. f. GUNUP, internally injured.
Mrs. j. LOVE, seriously injured.
PETER SCARLET, leg broken.
Mrs. JOHN BARTLETT, shoulder blade
broken and other injuries; will die.
WILLIAM MCNEIGH, internally injured; can
not recover.
JOSEPH FERRIS injured about the head; will
die.
Mrs. GUINUP internally injured.
Mrs. LINDLEY, seriously hurt.
Daughter of George Deves, fatally injured.
5. s. CRAWFORD, fatally injured.
About twenty or thirty more were more or
less injured. A large number OF horses and
cattle were killed and crippled.
Physicians were summoned, and the people
of the whole country turned out 10 render
every assistance possible. Where the cyclone
crossed the Santa Fe railroad, between Sterling
and Alden, the telegraph poles were leveled to
the earth and other damage done. There were
no fatalities in that district. As soon as the
news of the cyclone reached Stafford a mass
meeting was held and committees organized TO
carry on the work of relieving the distress in a
systematic manner. More than a hundred
people are left homeless and without food or
clothing
