]. {. MCDONALD DEAD.
Another Once Prominent Demo-
cratic Statesman Gone.
A SKETCH OF HIS PUBLIC LIFE

He Was One of the Most Notable Figures
in National Politics-His Presidential
Ambition Was Not satisfed-His Plat
form.
INDIANAPOLIS, June 22.-Ex-Senator Nc
Donald died at 1l;35 o'clock last night.
With Joseph Ewing Mcdonald there
passes away one of the most notable fig
ures in national politics. For over half
century has the greatest of old time
Hoosier Democrats after Hendricks been
before the people. Mcdonald was born in
Butler county, o., Aug. 29, 1919, and his
father died when he was an infant. When
he was only eleven years old Mcdonald
was apprenticed to n saddler. 10 this
fact is due his sobriquet, "Old Saddle
bags"
Took to Studying Law.
In the "thrties" Mcdonald determined
to secure collegiate education and be-
come, a lawyer He was graduated in 1912
from the Asbury university, and four
years later was admitted to the bar. After
serving three years as attorney general he
was sent to congress.
He served only one term in the house.
being beaten for a return by Oliver z.
Morton. He then became ambitious to 20
to the senate, and undertook the reorgan-
ization of the Democratic party in his state,
which had been sadly demoraliZed during
the war.
Elected Senator.
He was made chairman of the Demo-
cratic state central committee, and in 1874
the Democrats captured the legislature by
fair majority. In return for his services
Mcdonald was elected to the United States
senate and took his seat March 4, 1875. He
held it for six years. During his term he
made himself very popular socially.
His home at the national capital was
resort for senator's and congressman. Mrs.
Mcdonald had been wife before becom-
ing the senator's bride. The senator acted
as her counsel i'll proceedings which re-
suited in an absolute separation from her
former husband, and the Hoosier Demo.
crat shortly afterward married her.
Presidential Aspirations.
Few men of more intense partisanship
than Mcdonald ever entered the senate.
His platform then, as repeatedly ex-
pressed by him, was: "Jacksonian Democ-
racy and Free Trade" Recently, how
ever, when his party shouted the shib-
boleth of free silver, Mcdonald embraced
every possible occasion to denounce the
scheme to degrade the American dollar by
making eighty cents worth a hundred
cents. Mcdonald had strong following
in the 1884 aud 1855 Democratic presiden.
tial conventions. Many Indianians ia
vored his nomination for the presidency in
1884
The national bosses of the party wouldn't
listen to it, but put up Cleveland, with
Hendricks for second place. Four years
later he was pressed for the vice presidency,
but Indiana was ignored. Since that dis.
appointment the ex-senator has devoted
himself to his profession.
The funeral of ex-senator Mcdonald
will take place in Indianapolis next
Wednesday afternoon

Novel Way of Collecting "a Debt.

PUEBLO, Colo, June 22-A constable OF
the town of Eads, in kiowa county held
up the Missouri Pacific express for three
hours. The salary of an employe of the
road had been garnished by citizen OF
Eads, but the company had neglected tc
settle, and the matter was placed in the
hands of the constable. When the express
stopped at Eads the constable boarded the
cab of the engine and served papers attach
ing the same. Nearly three hours were
spent in telegraphing the superintendent
of the road, who finally ordered the pay
ment of the money demanded by the con
stable. y postal inspector was Oh the de
layed train, and it is likely that suit will
be brought against the constable for inter
cepting the mails.

THE TREASURY STATEMENT,
An Apparant Deficit of S7s7,117-Cap
tain Maclellun's Fiyures


WASHINGTON, June 20-The cash bal.
ance on the treasurer's books for the day
was Si3, ,O6l ,254, but of this sum So, ,627 Al
was on deposit in national banks and So
0,960 was in fractional silver, leaving a
deficit in the available cash of S,S7,1l7.
Captain Mcclellan, chief of the warrant
division of the treasury department, said
that the actual receipts for the month and
the cash balance on hand at the beginning
of the month slightly overbalanced the
drafts he had drawn. The cash balance
June l, according to his figures, was S1O,-
l3s,OOO; the receipts up to Thursday were
slS,222, 900; the receipts Friday were $685.
900, making total of S29, 223 900. The
warrants drawn, including Friday he
gave at 26,4ll,000, making an excess of
receipts and cash on hand of S2,s12, 600
The reason for the difference between his
figures and those of the treasurer is he
said, the fact that his cover the latest
warrants, while the treasurer's statement
is two or three days behind

life in exile TO make his experience

during his exile desperate attempt to
drive from the throne of Portugal the

sway over kingdom which his ances-

approved The architects arc now elab-
Grating them into working plans, and
the chief of construction is drawing up
the specifications for them all, and will
call very soon for contractors estimates.
Director Jeffery, who spent two months
in studying the buildings at the Paris
Exposition, says:
"The buildings at the Chicago EXPOSE
tion will be as much superior to those +
Paris as the latter were superior to those
at the Philadelphia Centennial. There
can be no question that the effect at
Jackson Park will aStonish the world.
We will have the grandest buildings
ever dedicated to exposition purposes. "
Just as soon as the ground plans of the
buildings can be completed work upon
the foundations of the several structures
will be pushed rapidly.
\ rough estimate of the cost of the
chief buildings, etc, planned by the con-
struction department, together with the
number Of acres they will cover, will be
found interesting. Some estimates make
the total cost more than $4,000, 900.

Dom Pedro IL, the deposed Empe
ror of Brazil, has spent most of the
time since the revolution sent him into
exile at various places in the Riviera.
His health is not good and he has been
much depressed in spirits by his mis-
fortunes. Dom Pedro de Alcantara
was during his reign in Brazil the only
representative of monarchy on the
American continent The attempt to
found an empire in Mexico in the in
terest of his cousin, Macmillan of Aus
tria, proved disastrous failure, end

Emperor and the insanity of his wife.

Persons who have never had any
business with a railroad except to ride
on it's cars occasionally have all idea
that Paper car wheels are entirely
made of that substance. This is a
mistaken idea, as the only portion
made Of paper is the inside or filling
of the wheel This paper is held in
place by steel plates, which are bolted
together through the paper. The tire
is then put on and the wheel is fin
ished. Of course there is q good deal
of work included in the making, but
this is the sum and substance of a
paper wheel.
There are several sizes of paper
wheels made, for instance, 42-inch
wheels, 33inch, 30-inch, 2S-inch and
26-inch. The last two sizes are loco
motive truck wheels. Some roads use
paper wheels exclusively under their
passenger equipment and cast iron ones
under the freight equipment. These

nor is it believed will the lato" people
insist, that no non-uniOn men be en-
plOyed.
Hundreds of WOrkmcn have flOcked to
Chicago expecting to obtain work on the
Worlds Fair buildings, and the number
is being increased daily. These swell
the number of unemployed already in
the city to several thousand. There is
not enough Exposition work yet for a
quarter of the number seeking EN- plOy-
ment, and it will be three or four months
before any great addition to the working
force will be made 1t follows, of course,
that workmen will make u mistake if
they come to Oh cago now seeking work,
unless they have the means of maintain
ing themselves at least for several
months.
An abundant supply Of pure water
from Lake Michigan for the Exposition
grounds and buildings is to be provided
by an extension of the Chicago Water
Works system. The Exposition Com
pany will construct a pumping station at
Jackson Park with Il capacity of "a, O00,
900 gallons daily. The city has agreed
to take the plant as soon as the EXPOSE
ton is over, and to refund its cost
about $500, 0o0-to the Exposition Com
pany.
The abandonment of the Lake Front
Park as a part Of the Exposition site has
Simplified matters considerably. A few,
living at distance from Chicago and
not understanding the situation, have
concluded that diScarding the Lake
Front neccsSitatcd finding a new loca
ton for the ENposit on Such is far
from being the case, and the impression
ought to BE- corrected wherever it exists.
The Lake Front Park embraces less
than fifty acres, and was at first intend
ed as a sort of downtown side show to
the main Exposition. 1t was proposed
to locate there only a few exhibits which
would prove specially attractive in the
evening jackson and Washington parks
and Midway plaiSancc connecting them
embrace more than 1000 acres, and
jackson Park has a frontage of two
miles on Lake Michigan. The whole
constitutes the finest site an exposition
ever had Here the entire Exposition

great oppo 'itjOn to Il dual site and to one
portion Of the Exposition being several

and on both sides the utmost good feel

manifested Eight hours as days

the labor people, and it is not believed
that the few dissatisfied ones will press
their opposition. Preference will be

PoUGHKEEPsrE, N. Y, Sep. 3.-News
has been received here from Cold Spring,
the pretty little Putnam County village
among the Highlands, in Phillipstown
township, on the east bank of the Hud-
son, about IA mile above West Point, of
a shocking double tragedy, in which
father and son were killed by another
son as the result of a trivial quarrel
Frank Scofield is the name of the man
who consigns his name to double obloquy
by being at once parricide and fratricide.
Frank engaged in a dispute with his
father and brother concerning their sea-
sons harvest of pickles. Hot words led
to threats and then to blows.
Finding himself unable to cope with two
adversaries, Frank shot and killed both
his father and brother.
Only these meagre details of the tragedy
have yet been received from the horror
stricken village. The Schofeld home
stead is about seven miles distant from
Cold Spring.
