,CARNOT Is HOPEFUL.
He Gives Exhibitors Little
Taffy

PARIS. Sept. 29.-Exhibition awards
were distributed at sthe plais De LIN
dustrie to-day. President Carnot and
Premier Tirard made speeches, in
which they expressed hearty thanks to
the foreign powers and exhibitors who
had contributed to the great success
and briiliancy of the exhibition. Presi-
dent Carnot said that France would not
forget these marks of esteem and SYM
pathy. He dwelt upon the value OF
such lesson at time when the study
of social questions and the examination
of means for defending commercial in
terests were more than ever necessary,
and he hoped it would open up an era
of peace, and that the guests would
carry away enlightened views which
would not be without effect upon the
relations between nations. The eXhi-
bition would then have served the great
cause of peace and humanity.

FRAUDULENT BONDS.
Louisiana Bonds Tempered With
to a Large Extent.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 29.-The state
ment is now made, upon what appears
to be good authority, that Irregularities
have been discovered in what are known
as Baby" bonds, commencing at No
100000, with some slight irregularity
previous to that number. Nearly all
of the "Baby" bonds above 100000 are
fraudulent. The state auditor and
treasurer will soon take up this branch
of the investigation. Attorney General
Rogers admits that the Baby" bonds
have been distracted or otherwise tam
pered with to the amount of s4O0, 900.
According to Judge Rogers figures the
defalcatiOn already in sight will reach
more than Sl,200,O00.

A Case of Downright Honesty.


A man jumped upon peuny-in-the-
slot weighing machine one evening of
last week on Washington street and
threw in a coin. To his great surprise
the indicator refused to bulge.
''Ah, guess you threw in a dime,"
said his companion. The machine
wont weigh unless you throw in the
right coin.''
'Maybe l threw in that fve-dollar
gold piece had in my pocket" said the
first. Investigation proved this not to
be the case, however, and upon insert
ing a penny the machine responded
with bound.
Here is an example of unfinching
honesty worth studying. The terms of
the penny-in-the-slot machine are lone
price, and no variation from the rule"
So immaculate is its sense of honor on
this point that neither dime nor a
tive-dOllar gold piece can bribe it.
There is hope for us vet.

BURNETT BUDGET

Lithographic Stone-A New York Min
eralogist Examining Burnett County.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
BURNETT, February l3.-Col. L. B. Woods
and H. G. Whitney have put force of
hands to work, developing the photographic
stone on the Woods ranch, eight miles
southwest of town. Excellent samples of
the stone have been tested and the pros
pect is good for finding it in large enough
slabs to be valuable. Lithographic stone
of good quality is found in several parts
this county, but to be of any
special Importance it must be obtained in
large pieces without flaws, seams or
changes in texture. Here lies the diff
Guilty, yet there is hardly doubt this will
be overcome when the photographic beds
of the country are more thoroughly pros
pected.
Mr.. Nevin, the New York mineralogist
now here, has high opinion of the rocks
and mineral prospects surrounding Bur
net and thinks it has a bright future in
this respect. He has been actively
engaged in the field of minerals in
various parts of the west, and is compe-
tent to judge. He thinks the Burnet peo-
pie are neglectipg a good thing in not
investigating the oil or asphaltum pros
p' ct at what is known as Tar springs on
Post mountain, just west of town, where
an oily substance like partly dried tar
issues from the ground and collects on the
rocks. This substance burns readily, and
has the smell while burning of coal tar.
As to what may be a few feet or a few
hundred feet below the surface nobody
has so far taken any steps to find ont.
A complaint has been lodged against a
lad Of l6 or II years in this place and he
will be prosecuted for disturbing public
worship at the Methodist church. The
penalty for this offense, in case of convic-
ton, can't be less than fine of S25, and
may include imprisonment.
