DID CROOKED WORK.
Postmaster Wheat Has Been Doing a Rush
ing Business.

WASHINGTON, Sept 29.-In the inves-
tigation into the charges against Postmas-
ter Wheat today most important testimony
was given by W. E. Bradley, who said that
young Wheat asked him if he wanted to
make some money by being sworn in
place of "a man who was expected
in a few days. This mans name
was Denny He was simply to have his
name on the roll, Wheat doing the work.
Wheat told him that he would not even
have to come to the office and would
receive So for the trouble of being
sworn in. At the end of March
be drew something over SGT and all of
which except s. h turned over to Walter
Wheat. Young Wheat also got Represen-
tative Caswel to indorse his application for
place in the government gsoffice.
At the end of April he was still on the
rolls IN place of another named
Hail. This time he drew 1861 Z.
In accordance with the wish of
young Wheat he kept this money for a
week He then settled with young Wheat,
retaining $40. Finally he was discharged
by the postmaster.
Representative Caswell called the item
ton Of the committee to the act making
an appropriation for the house postofiice,
and contended that its phraseology gave
the postmaster the absolute right to
$1,000 appropriated for carrying the
mails.
Walter Wheat, the postmaster son, said
that he did most of the work for which
Bredley was paid and was entitled to the
money he received

FAY rEMpLEroN's DIAMONDS.
She Says She Pawncd Them Abroad and
Could Not Redeem Them,

NEW York, Sept 29.--Fay Tempieton.
through her counsel, has filed a petition
in the United states district court, praying
for the release of her diamonds and fans,
which were seized recently 10y the custom
house authorities as Struggled goods, when
they we're found in the possession OF Heuri
llerSchey.
The actress signed her petition in
Philadelphia. She asserts that she had
pawned her Jewels abroad and was unable
to redeem them until she returned to this
city and borrowed enough money to secure
their release. On or about December Is,
1888, she says your petitioner left the
city of New York for Europe. to reside in
the city of Paris until June IS, 1890, when
to the city of New York, arriving there
July 2, 1890 to fulfill an engagement
at the Fourteenth ,-lSJreet Taeatre.
That ON her departure from Paris for the
city of New York she was the owner
and entitled to the possession of the jew
els and fan which were her own personal
property, and all of which, without a
single exception, had been worn and
used by her from the time she acquired
them; that some time before departure
from Paris, being in need of money, she
borrowed money in It pawn shop in the
city of Paris on the jewels and sailed,
leaving all of the jewels with the party
loaning her the mourv as collateral SCI
curity for the repayment Of the loan.
"On her departure from Paris, she says,
not being able to repay the loan she could
not obtain sufficient money to redeem
them. and SO left them there to fill her
engagement here, Shortly after her arrival
here she was able to borrow enough
money to repay the loan, and she RENTED
the required amount to Paris through a
cable transfer of Drexel, Morgan Il Co.
| When the jewels were recovered, she says,
| they were placed in the possession o.
Henry Herschey to be delivered to her.

is somewhat remarkable for the exception
al prominence given to wife-beaters and
tax-dodgers. The first of these two feat
ures must be set down 20 the gallantry
and not the color prejudice of the conven-
ton The lause gives the franchise to
every male inhabitant Of the state of
the age of q years who is not insane. a
convicted criminal, an idiot a tax-de-
fauiter, or a wife beaten" CHASING tax
defaulters and wife-beaters with convicted
criminals, idiots, ard paupers is to be con-
mended, as Is also the requirement of
registration. Nor can serious objection
be urged to the requirement of a residence
of two yea in the state and one year in
the election district. The second clause
is the one in which the genius of the con-
vention shows itself. 1t reads thu;
ION and after the first day of January,
A. D. 1896, the following qualifications
are added tc the foregoing: Every quail
fed elector shall be able to read any sec
ton Of the constitution of this state. or he
shall lie able to understand the same when
read to him, or give reasonable interpre-
tation thereof A new registration shall
be made before the next enssing election
after these qualifications are established. i"
Ii will be observed that the conjunction
or. not and, is used There are thus pro-
vided two distinct and independent quail
fcations, either one of which can be APP
piled, according to the option of the elee-
ton judges. The objections to an ordin-
airy educational test We're twofold. First,
it would disfranchise a good many white
democrats, and, second, it would stimu-
late the colored republicans who are still
in the illiteracy of slavery to learn to read.
Either would be bad. from the Misslssip-
pi point of view, and between them the
object aimed at would be defeated But
this plan is a successful solution OF the
familiar problem of how to hit it if it is a
deer and miss 1t if it is calf.
We will suppose a colored man to pre-
sent himself at the polls under this sys-
tenn He is given clause of the constitu-
ton to read IL he cannot read his bal
lot may be rejected on that account. If
he can read it then he may be asked to
interpret it and if his interpretation does
not satisfy the Judges then mis- ballot can
be rejected on that ground. Almost any
colored man can be distranchised under
such duplex requirement. But snppos-
ing the would-be voter was white man
If he can read then he can be accepted on
that ground, while even if he cannot read
he may be allowed to cast his ballot on the
score that he can give an intelligent inter
probation of some clause of the constitu-
ton. What could be more fehcitious?
The only surprise is that the trainers of
the same should be willing to wait UNI
til 1896 before putting the same into oper-
alton.
The inventors of this new system of re-
stricting the ballot may find that the con-
stitution of the United States, as interpret
ell by the supreme court, stands in their
way. That tribunal certainly ought to
put its foot down hard upon such device
to evade the plain intent and purpose of
the supreme law Of the land.

Much Litigation.
AMIGO. Wis, Sept 25.-The report of
the assignee of Hoxie a. Mellor. the lum-
bermen and merchants who failed three
weeks ago, was filed today with the clerk
of the circuit court 1t shows that the
liabilities of Hoxie 4 Mellor are 1872, $50.
The nominal assets are S69l 1875. But
in this last amount is included the fol-
lowing disputed claims, together with
lesser amounts, to-wit: Seventy
thousand dollars worth of property claim
ed by A.. H. Weed 4 Co.. of Ashland;
800, 900 worth claimed by j. II. Weed, of
Oshkosh; chattel mortgages on personal
property in this state and Michigan COW

and $50 900 of property here held under
attachments against the firm. aSsa, $40, 900
of property that A. c. Bent, of OSh-
kosh. has replevened. Undoubted
ly much litigation will result, and oieoi-

the probable amount of dividends to be
paid until the courts have passed upon the
disputed question and all the property in

of August Schuster returned to the court
room at II clock toll Ivy after three hours
deliberations having concluded that
Schuster was guilty Of committing an as
sault upon Rosa Sacknan in this county
with intent to commit murder, despite the
fact that no less than fifteen witnesses
from Watertown testified that he was at
the Commercial hote on the day the crime

general satisfaction
February last some person entered the
farm residence of Charles KIimp, in the
town Of Excelsior, near this city, with
the intention of robbery. Finding Miss
Sackman, young lady about % years OF
age, alone in the house, he demanded
OF her money and other valuablcs
that were supposed to be secreted
in the house. Miss Sackman re-
piled that she knew of none. The rufhau
not succeeding by mild persuasion, pound
ed her with a club until she became uncor-
scious, gagged and tied the unfortunate
girl and dragged her to the river bank With
the intention of drowning her to cover up
bis crime, but just as he was about to
throw her into the water be became
amuearld by an approaching wagon, an
fled, leaving his victim as he supposed
dead. The girl was found shortly after
ward by Mr.. Klimp, who with his wife,
had returned from this city. After several
hours hard work by the physicians he

shat her assailant was August Shu-t-r,
whom she knew well as an DID
schoolmate Schuster, who is a 500 OF a
wealthy farmer living in the same town,
had been away from home for year.
Detectives we're at once employed to work
up the case. About two months after

mercial hotel at that place, under an as
sumed name. lie denied any knowledge
Of The crime for which be was arrested.
