KINGSTON, n. ", Oct 6.--The Ulster
County Savings Institution has closed
its doors and Is in charge of Bank
Superintendent Charles NJ. Preston.
After conducting systematic pilfer-
ing of the institution for years, two Of
the most prominent citizens of the
city are under arrest to-day charged
with stealing nearly half million of
dollars and the bank is ruined beyond

the bank and the greatest excitement
prevails throughout this part OF the
State. II Is reported this afternoon

Treasurer Ostrander and his assistant,
Matthew 4. Trumpbour, may reach
5000, 600. Both of these men, who
have long been prominent
in social political and church circles,
are under arrest, and IL is reported
that the former has n ade two attcmp.s
at suicide. For years they have been
robbing the bank, covering their acts
by means OF forged entries, and IL was
only two weeks ago that Ostrander
was S75, 900 short, lie was arrested,
but released on bail. The bank ex-
aminers set TO work and last night UNI
covered the gigantic steals. The sys-
TEN pursued by strander showed that
Trumpbour was implicated. When
the police went 20 arrest him
at midnight he was preparing 10 leave
the country. subsequently, IL is said.
he attempted 10 take his life. The
excitement over the expose and arrests
Is intense. and hundreds of poor people
are surrounding the bank demanding
their money and that the trustees be
arrested and made 10 make up the
amount stolen.

Ostrnnder was arrested two weeks
ago charged with embezzling $4,000,
and was under bonds OF SEQ, coo until
last night. when he was surrendered
by his bondsmen. When Ostrander
was arrested there was great run on
the bank for three days, but the other
banks came to the rescue OF the Ulster

SCANDAL IN ENGLAND.
suicide OF n Chorus Girl shock. the
Polite world.

LONDON, Oct 7.--Considerable IN
terest is being taken in the echoes of
the inquest on Saturday last on
the body of Lydia Miller,
or Manton, To use her stage
name, a chorus girl Of the Gaiety thea
ter, who recently committed suicide by
drinking half pint of carbolic acid.
At the inquest on Saturday IL will be
remembered, Lord Charles Montague,
brother of the Duke of Manchester,
testified to having been on very init
mate terms with the deceased and to
having been late In keeping an APP
pointment TO lunch with her ON the
day of her death. This failure
to keep an appointment promptly Is
said to have greatly annoyed the
chorus girl. Since the inquest mys-
terious illusions have been made in
the newspapers to a certain high per-
sonage, understood To be Prince Albert
Victor, eldest son of the Primes Of
Wales, who also Is said 10 have had
intimate relations with the dead gil.

GOOD NEWS FROM KANSAS.
The Farming Districts in Better Con-
ditiOn Than They We're Re-
ported to Be.

Topeka, March 23.-The railroad
commissioners have made their first
tour Of examination in the ten Kan
sas counties for which money was
appropriated to purchase seed grain.
Judge Green visited Phillips, Norton
and Decatur counties, Judge Antho-
ny, Cheyenne and Rawlins, and
Humphrey, Ellis, Logan, Wallace,
Graham, Sheridan and Thomas. 1t
is estimated that 10000 bushels of
spring seed wheat will supply those
who stand in the most urgent need.
There were $40 applications for aid
to Judge Humphrey at HAYS City,
in Ellis county. After an examina-
ton Judge Humphrey found only
twenty who were in need Of aid
from the state. One man who APP
piled owned two sections of land,
had 800 acres of wheat, lived in a
fine house and admitted owning two
stations worth $4,000.
Seward and Meade counties re-
main to be visited. The commits
sioners declare that the people are in
much better condition than they
were reported to be. ''We found
some very poor people, said Judge
Green, "who stood badly in need of
aid, but the stock is IN good condi-
ton and most of the farmers appear
to be doing well. | was surprised
to find so much grain and other
supplies in the country"
Ex-Governor Anthony stated that
in the counties which he visited the
wheat had gotten into the hands of
money-lenders, who were demanding
their pounds of flesh. These men
furnish the farmers with seed
wheat under a contract which obi
gates the farmer to give one-third
of his crop in payment.-Star.

WE concede the moral and legal
right of every individual to stop his
paper after paying what is due. He
has this right whether he has a real
or fancied grievance or not. But,
oh! How small is the man who
will undertake to boycott a paper be-
cause its views are not the same as
his, politically or otherwise. How
small the mental caliber of an in
diyidual who will refuse to read a
paper simply because the political
views of the same do not harmonic
with his. Beg your pardon; such
men never had an idea and never
can have one. The place where the
brains ought to be are filed with
some other substance and the brain
matter crowded out. We have
never been much given to abuse, as
all viii testify, but metaphorically
speaking, we nave a chip on our
shoulder right now and we don't
care who undertakes to knock it on.

In Russia, when a newspaper
publishes an article that doesn't ex-
actly suit the powers that be, the
editor is banished to Siberia, his
presses destroyed and his property
confscated. In Trego county it
works differently. Here the at
tempt is made to destroy his bust
ness by stopping subscriptions. In
other words the system of boycotting
is resorted to in lieu Of Danish
ment. There is no difference IN the
spirit which dictates either mode of
punishment.
