amount is distributed among forty-two
banks, and is to be transferred to the
different sub-treasuries between now
and August 10. Twelve of these banks
are discontinued altogether as deposi
taries. These are the last of the So
called Surplus or inactive" banks
authorized during the administration
of Secretary Fairchild. There were
then nearly 800 depositaries holding

der the policy inaugurated by Secre-

tary Foster the number of deposi
taries has been reduced to thirty and
their holdings to $4,000, 900. There
will be no further reduction, as the de-
partment is of the opinion that the de-

amount required for the public service.

How the Benders. Died.

X. P. Randolph, an attorney of st.
Joseph, Mo-, who has just returned
from Nickerson, Kas., says that he there
made the acquaintance of Tom Doolittle,
an ld-time-freighter, who told him a
story of the famous Bender family
which, if true, settles all question as to
the whereabouts of the family Of MUIR
derers. Doolittle says that after the
headed by the murdered mans brother,
went to the Bender house and extorted
a confession from the old woman. They
then quietly proceeded to hang old
man Bender, his wife and son to the
rafters of the house. During this pro-
ceedlng Kate Bender uttered some pro-
test and was shot to death. After the
family had been dispatched, York's
avengers took the bodies to the creek
bed some yards distant from the house
and buried them. The attention of the
family living on an adjoining ranch was
attracted to the Bender place some days
after by starving cali, anG then the alb
sence of the family was first made
known to the public. This gave rise to
the report that the murderous family
had fled to avoid punishment, and
caused the prolonged search by the Off
GERS of the law.
Almost Il Murder.
A most remarkable case of mistaken
identity, which for time seemed likely
to result in the killing of at least one
guiltless person, the ruin Of the happi-
ness Of two families, and the tarnish-
ment of the spotless reputation of
two innocent women, devel-
oped at the fremont House,
Chicago, few days ago. John
D. De CARTS, business man of Milwau
kee, registered with his bride at the
fremont House. While out at the
races John J. Coughlan, who has a
string of horses at Washington Park,
saw the couple and believed Mrs. De
CARTS to be his wife. The couple were
followed to the hotel, where Coughlan
Mrs. Coughlan in his room. De
CARTS insisted that there was
mistake, and suggested that
some acquaintance of Mrs. Cough
Ian be sent up to the room. A friend
of Coughlan was sent up, and he re-
turned with the statement that the lady
was RS. Coughlan. A shooting afray
would have resulted had not Mr.. De
CARTS urged that Mrs. Coughlan must be
at home. A detective was sent out to
Coughlan's residence, and there Mrs.
Coughlan was found Mr.. DeGaris re-
ceived an apology, and his unsuspecting
bride was not told how near she came to
causing a murder

ARRESTED on SUSPICION.

Two men, giving the names of W. H.
Holmes and Frank Jones, were arrested
on suspicion Sunday afternoon, by Officers
Harmon and Mcnamara The one giving
the name of Holmes had letters on his per-
son addressed to James Swisher," and it
is very probable that this is his name. The
men had pawned lady's gold watch to a
negro woman for 81, and the chain that
belonged with it they had given at the
Lindell hotel Saturday night for nights
lodging. The proprietor of this hotel sus-
picioned them of being crooks and subse-
quently informed the police of the case.
The officers overlook the men on Williams
street, near the Santa Fe track, and took
them to the station and locked them up
to await Developments.

THE OLD STORY.

Many of our readers will remember a
social escapade of two or three years ago
in this city wherein home was wrecked,
a gloom cast over the lives of mother and
a daughter and in which a beautiful and
bright young woman sacrificed everything
for the husband and father of the two first
mentioned The man himself is resident
Of British Columbia, having lived for
awhile in Washington territory, later i'll
Alaska. The Cleveland Press of a late
date contains the sequel of the girls life
as follows:
Nearly three years ago a young lady
prominent in Akron society, organl9t IN

she was visiting The twain went into

On Friday night, after the Y. II. c. A.
rooms were closed, a few young men, who
had remained for that purpose, picked up
the furniture in the old quarters and re-
moved it into the new building. Fortu-
nateiy or unfortunately there was not
much to move and the work was soon
accomplished. The doors were thrown
open to the young men OF the city at
o'clock Saturday morning and as fast as
the news spread many called to enquire
about the gymnasium and baths. In an
swer to their enquiries they were informed
that about $3.50 were needed to put floor
IN the gymnasium, set up the apparatus,
which is now here, and open the gym
naslum and baths for their use. In answer
to further enquiries as to whether the
proceeds of twenty FIVE annual member
ship tickets could not be appropriated to
this purpose, the secretary took the re-
sponslbility to say that it would, believing
that the board will ratify his action at
their regular monthly meeting tomorrow

enough signatures are added by tomorrow
noon the signers may be assured Of it's

sion of the board The labor connected
with the opening of the building has in

THAT APRIL FOOL.

1t has been for years a custom OF the
EAGLE to get off some innocent first OF
April sell, some of which were successes
beyond the fondest hope of the writer. The
night of the last day of March, this year,
found US very tired and :.All FOOLS Day"
unprovided for. 1t was too late to attempt
setting trap for whole community; SO.
to gentle call to our associates on the
directory of the Board of Trade for an
early meeting we appended Secretary
Pierce's name The next day we were too
busy even to inquire after the success Of
the ruse. But as no one save long headed
and wary old business men were intended
or even invited to participate in the joke,
we had concluded that the effort had fallen
fat. But time with its licks discioses
all things. 1t seems that the character and
standing of the gentlemen whom we
had hit upon to meet the directory were all
too important to go unwelcorned in our
midst. Not only did a goodly number
of the directory call on Secretary Pierce,
who had not even been given hint at the
joke, but whole droves of fellows were
ready to participate in any scheme which
the Wizard of Wall street in his wisdom
might see fit to submit. Solid business
men who didn't pick up their morning
paper until they had taken their seat at
the breakfast table blowed up the cooks
because Of such late breakfast, and not a
few went without any breakfast at all to
be on hand. Pierce has our most serious
sympathy, bow that we know what mob
he had to deal with and make explana-
tions TO- Every hour or two the Joke leaks
out on some new fellow who was taken
in until we have begun to conclude that
half the town was sold.
