MRS. PLUMB VERY BRAVE.

The Widow Bears Her Affection With
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. In Emporia.
EMPoRIA, Kan, Dec. 2l-About noon
yesterday the sad news was received from
Washington of the death of Senator P. b.
Plumb.
Mrs. Plumb. who is an invalid and had
been able to attend divine services for the
first time in several months, had just
reached home when the news was broken
to her as gently as possible by Mrs. I. f.
Perley, a life long friend. At first she
was so Frustrated that her life was almost
despaired of. but she gradually recovered
and Is now bearing up with a fortitude
that is wonderful. considering her feeble
health.
But one of Mrs. Plumb's children was,
with her when the terrible shock came,
her daughter Mary, who has been i'll for
several days. The rest OF the family
were scattered over the country, with the
exception of Ruth, who was in Topeka
visiting and arrived home last evening.
The eldest son, Amos H., is in Philadel-
phia under treatment fora nervous com
plant, and the two younger children,
Preston B., jr., and his sister Carrie, arc
attending school at Nazareth, Pa.
Without a doubt Senator Plumb was
better known to and intimately acquainted
with more people in Kansas than any
other half dozen men in the state-that is
he knew thousands personally, could call
them by name and had been at one OF
more times a guest at their homes. This
was one of the secrets of his
wonderful popularity in Kansas,
especially with the old soldier element
and the Farmers, thousands of whom he
knew and addressed in the simple, hearty
fashion of the frontier, with such saluta
tons as 'tHello, Tom,'' or "Well, well, Bill
how are you now," to the great delight o.
his nearer and to the rebuilding of old ad
miration which possibly might have beer
growing somewhat lukewarm.

He Was Never Sworn In as Treasurer Of
Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, June S.-This week prom
ises TO be prolific in developments in the
Bardsley and keystone bank matters. 1t
is said that the experts examining .Baris-
ley's affairs have in their possession all Of
his check books, cancelled checks and
private accounts, and Will thus be able TO
trace all of the missing state and city
funds. District Attorney Graham will
present 10 the grand jury today bills Of
indictment against Bardsley charging him
with the embezzlement OF $4,000 Of city
money and over $500, 900 belonging TO the
state
The charge of perjury in violating his
oath Of office will be dropped for the reason
that no record OF his having been sworn in
can be found in the prothonotary's Office,
where it should be on file had he been
sworn. The only oath Bardsley took was
one with reference TO his duties toward
the state under the act OF assembly OF
1854. This act has been nullifed by the
new charter under which the municipality
is now operating, and the oath taken is
therefore void.
The opinion is general that Barlsley. on
entering upon the duties of the Office Of
city treasurer, did not take an oath to
faithfully administer the affairs OF that
ullA1s. " AthAtt Ahe hlOlcsltn WIS III
territorial or accidental will probably
never be definitely known.
The meetings OF the councilmanic com.
mittee, which is inquiring into Bardsley's
administration Of his Office and his con.
nection with the keystone bank, are ex
pected to result in important develop
ments. 1t is understood that Postmaster
General Wanamaker will appear before
the committee today and answer any
questions that may be put TO him with
reference to his knowledge of Keystone
bank affairs.
Other witnesses who will appear during
the week are Auditor General McCamant
to whom Bardsley made report Of ths
amounts collected by him on account o.
the commonwealth, and John Dobson and
James Dobson, who were on Bardsley'.

A New sub-rreasury scheme.

TOPEKA, Kan, June s.-The Alliance
executive committee OF Kansas is consid-
ering a scheme which practically places
the sub-treasury plan Of the National

each bank an elevator or storehouse is to ba
built. Afarmer may then dump his grain,
corn or cotton into the storehouse, receiv-
ing for 1t a check for 80 per cent. of tha
value of the grain deposited by paying
small percentage for storage insurance
He will be allowed to keep his grain in tbs
depository until such time as be may deem
il best TO place it upon the market Tha
amount Of produce deposited in this way
must not exceed the amount of stock sub.
scribed for the bank. The checks to be is,
sued by these banks are made payable in
gold or silver at any Of the banks run im
this manner. 1t is intended that they shall
be circulated as money.
