record of violated law, tardy justice,
forced settlements, corruption and
bribery. The sheriff's Office was 6is-
grace to the city and shame on civiliza-
tion, and it was no longer question OF
what ought to be done to remedy the
existing evils, but what must be done
at once and without delay. The fore

suit of Mary E. Flack against Sheriff
James A. Flack was called for trial in

that they had been so busily engaged in
his trial for conspiracy that they had
been unable to prepare for that of the
divorce case, and Judge Lawrence set it
down for trial on April IA.

horsewhipped on the steps of the First

woman kept in front, lashing him re-
peatedly over the head and shoulders.
In desperation he lifted his cane and
struck her. The street was thronged
with excited people, and he was pushed
into the bank, while the widow was ar
rested. Mrs. Kent, who is panorama
painter, asserts that Mr.. King, her at
toruey, defrauded and illuminated her.
MI. King says Mrs. Kent held unright-
full possession of one OF his houses in

WASHINGTON, March 25.-Secretary
Proctor to-day sent to the house of rep
resentatives. response to resolution
asking him if, in his opinion, any re-
duction in public expenditures would
result from the transfer of the pension
bureau from the interior department to
the war department. The secretary, in
his letter, expresses his opinion that a
decided reduction of expenses would
follow, the amount of which could not
we'll be estimated. Under the present
system, says the secretary, the claims
of soldiers for pensions are not adjudi-
Gated in the department under which
they served and in which their histo-
ries, which constitute most important
part of granting pensions, are prepared.
By transferring this bureau to the war
department there would also be brought
together closely the experts who decide
the claims, and thus by amalgamating
the whole system under one control, the
expenses of the pension bureau would
be greatly decreased.

says that by constituting the soldiers
homestead act as whole the only
proper construction it is clear to his
mind that congress did not intend the
privilege granted to the soldier should
be the subject of barter and sale or of
assignment to another. In his judgment
the right thus.conferred is strictly per-

inasmuch as there are now in the hands
of assignees very large number of
those additional homestead rights. the
