Iowa Prohibitionists.

DES MONIES. Ia, June l5.-The pro
hibitiOn convention met last week
Fifty counties out of ninety-Diue were
represented by 80 delegates.
The proceedings were opened with
an address by the temporary chairman,
d. B. Turney. He asserted that, with
the liquor vote divided between demo
cratic, republican and peoples parties,
the prohibitionists would unite anti.
liquor people and carry the state.
The convention after discussion
adopted platform and nominated full
state ticket. The platform favors
straight out prohibition. free coinage OF
silver, the Australian ballot reform, the
state constabulaIy to enforce prohibit
ton. and the immediate adjustment of
the whole United States revenue sys-
TEN since its operation is to encourage,
by recognizing. the liquor traffic.
The following is the ticket:
For GOvernor-ISaac Gibson. Salem.
Lieutenant GOVERNOR. G.. Little,
Perry:
Superintendent of Public Instruc.
tion-Mrs. NJ. H. Durham, Burlington.
Railroad Commissioner-C. T. Hart,
Coyne.
Supreme Judged! B. Turney, Ben
nett.
The action of the peoples party in
lodging the prohibitory issue, both in
the Cincinnati and Des Moines plat
forms was denounced.

Opposed by Her Family.

NEW YORK. June 1.-THE Herald
has been requested by member of the
Garner family, W hose action has the ap-
prevail of the whole family connection,
to print the following statement:
Several papers have by mistake
stated that one of Miss Florence Gar
ner's tnow Lady Gordon Cumming sis
tiers was present at her marriage The
eldest, Nine. La MarquiSe de Bretuil, is
at present in New York with her hus-
band. The youngest. Miss Edith Gar
ner, is at Vienna with her aunt. Mrs.
Lawrence. The family wish to rectify
this mistake and also to state that no
one of Miss Gamers relations was pres
ent at her marriage. 1t is needless to
add that, being of age, she took this
step against the wishes of her entire
family"
. From this it is evident that absolute
social Ostracism is the penalty which
the young wife must pay. II is a social
prouuneiameutO from which there can.
be no appeal.

LONDON, June 15.-The outspoker
newspapers press comments upon the
part of the prince of Wales played in
the baccarat scandal continue to be the
sensation of the dav in England and
elsewhere. The religious press. as
might be expected, is the most severe
in its comments
The Christian World, an independent
religious weekly representing all the
protestant denominations, said: The
throne rests upon the foundation of
public opinion only. a few more scan
dals like that of Tranby Croft'wOuld de-
strey the foundation and Edward the
VIII would never be crowned"
The British Weekly remarks: "The
revelations are enough to sober up the
strongest supporters Of the monarchy"
The Vienna correspondent of the
Times says that the scandal has created
a sensation in army circles on the con-
tinent, especially in the countries
where the prince Of Wales is honorary
colonel OF several regiments.
The Globe this evening says that
10th the army and navy felt most keen
~ the stigma which has been placed
upon an honorable profession by the
agreement entered into between a field
marshal and general TO maintain Sc
crecy in regard to gambling and by
gambling with youngsters, one of them
a subaltern.

Brutality to Lunatics.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June 1s.-The
special committee investigating the
management of the State Southern in
sane asylum at Anna reported yester-
day. They find that many inmates had
been beaten, kicked and otherwise fear
fully maltreated; patients were forced
TO work out in winter so scantily clothed
that their persons are indecently ex-
posed and their feet soaked with water.
In one case patient was thrown on q
heater and held there until badly
burned; another, with high fever, was
taken from his room and beaten for ask
ing for water. The vilest epithets
were used to inmates and their beds
were in some instances in very filthy
condition. Although 100 gallons OF
milk went each day into the kitchen,
none Of it got into the wards, it being
drunken up or stolen by the attend
ants. The committee believed the in
mates were deprived OF the early veg
etables and that they were sold. The
evidence clearly showed, it was stated,
that the superintendent, physicians,
supervisors and trustees had been in
formed of these things. The commit
tee believed the treasurer of the hos
pital deposited the funds in bank and
converted the interest to his own pri-
vate use, also that he had purchased
Mexican dollars at discount of Is per
cent and paid them at par.
The committee recommends the inn
mediate dismissal of attendants Paul,
Malloy, Austbrook, Deidy, Dickey,
Neisenheimer, Lucretia Robinson, Har-
ley Robinson and Dick Slack as being
not only brutal, but wholly untitled for
the positions they occupy.

The Facts Coming Out.

PHILADELPHIA. June l6.-AssiStant
Bank Examiner Jones appeared before
the Bardsley Investigating committee,
yesterday afternoon and told the story
of the defalcation in the keystone bank.
He then said: February 18th last,
Comptroller Lacy was in this city.
There was reception at the Hotel La
fayette which he attended. After il
was over Bank Examiner Drew brought
Comptroller Lacy over to the keystone
bank and showed him the books and
explained to him the condition of af-
fairs as we then knew them to exist. [
explained the padding of the New York
banking exchange receipts and informed
him of the due bills which had been
found. The difference found in the
ledger and the stock and bond accounts
for which the Lucas estate was held
responsible at that time, was thor
Oughly explained to him. Comptroller
Lacey understood at the time all about
the Lucas defalcation. which at that
time was understood to be 5000, 600
Then The assets We're considered, and
Comptroller Lacey called the Spring
Lake property worth 500, 600 instead Of
$500, 600"
The statement Of Mr.. Jones caused a
great sensation, as Comptroller Lacey's
visit to the bank had been kept close
secret, and Bank Examiner Drew had
never. under severe cross examination.
allowed himself to give the slightest
intimatiCn of it

The Benson Prize Money.

LEAvENwORTH, June 1.-THE re-
wards offered for the arrest and con-
victiOn of the murderer of Mrs Nett
man amounted to S550,-S350 by Gov
ernor Humphrey. $50 by County AttOr-
ney Atwood and $50 by Sheriff FlOrs. The
claimants to date are Policemen Muir
ply. Powell and Sutton, ex-Assistant
Marshal McGahey, ex-Marshal Doane
and Sheriff FlOrs.
To Sheriff E'lors and his deputies, it is
considered by many, properly belongs
the reward. At the time of the muir
der the discoveries on the reservation
were made by Policemen Powell and
Sutton, then sheriff's deputies. Chief
Of Police DOdd of Camden, n. j., saws
the reward should go to the sheriff for
the reason that but for the timely ar
rival of JailOr Pickens he would have
been compelled to set Benson at liberty
the twenty-four hour limit of detention
without cause having expired. Police
men Powell and Sutton are willing that
Sheriff F'lors should make the division
with them of the prize money, and the
sheriff will probably get it.
Ex-Marshal Doane. who called the
spirit world to his aid at the time of the
murder, has, within the last few days,
had as many as eight interviews with
the deceased Mrs. Mettman. So far,
Mrs. Mettman has been very careful
to express no opinion as to who COM
mitted the crime.
