TREASURER holland SHORT.
Governor Francis Takes Charge of th
State Funds of Missouri.

Governor Francis Takes Charge of the
State Funds of Missouri.
ST. LOUIS, March Sat Jefferson CITY,
it is now considered pretty we'll settled
fact that State Treasurer holland is short in
his accounts something over $50, 900. Even
Governor Francis is in doubt as to the exact
amount owing to what he terms irregulari-
ties in the books. The bondsmen who have
talked about the matter agree that the de-
felt is over $50, 900, and all who possess any
information adhere to this sum or very near
it. Treasurer Noland was at the State Cap
itol this morning and reiterated his former
denials of shortage.
"The whole matter is now in the hands of
the committee of investigation appointed by
the Governor" he said, land 1 must de-
cline to discuss it further"
Governor Francis to-day issued the fol-
lowing:
have taken charge of the State Treasury
under Section S,5S3 of the revised statutes of
1889. All checks against the State funds will be
signed by me until further notice.
D. R. FRANCIS, Governor.
1t is now developed that Governor
Francis, while in New York, received
telegram from his private secretary, M. A.
flaming, with reference to the trouble IN
the Treasurer's Office, and at once hurried
home, and to Jefferson City, taking charge
of the Treasurer's Office at once. Then the
bondsmen met and decided that the deficit
must be met and the matter hushed up, but
to this proposition the Governor demurred
on the ground that such action would be un-
lawful, and he could not afford to compro-
mise himself in that way. Hence the in
evitable exposure.

A CHICAGO FATIMA
Wants Divorce From Modern Edition of
Bluebeard.

CHICAGO, March "a story with all the
interest and suspense of the experience of
Bluebeard's last wife was told to-day by
Mrs. Margaret j. Whelan in bill for di-
vorce from her husband, James Whelan.
She says that after an extraordinary course
of abuse on his part, she left him, but re-
turned to him on his promise of better be-
havior. Accompanying him home, she en-
tered their Eouse and followed him to a
ROOM Too late, she noticed that the knobs
of the door had been removed and their
places taken by heavy staples, which were
fastened with telegraph wires and padlocks.
The terrified woman asked her husband
what he meant to do, and he turned on her,
and. seiziEg her by the hair, dragged her to
the floor.
"Your minutes are numbered" he ex-
claimed. pray now, for you have but five
minutes to live"
She knelt on the floor, with her hands
clasped in prayer, and he opened huge
knife and flourished it above her head. The
time was getting short, and Whelan turned
to a shelf to change the clock to more con-
venient place to watch the minutes as they
passed. AS he turned his back Mrs.
Whelan sprang to her feet and leaped
through the window to the street. She was
seriously injured by her tall, but was cared
for bv neighbors.
Judge JamIson issued an order enioining
Whelan from any way annoying his wife.

nothing whatever impracticable in the engi-
