HIS SUFFERING ENDED,
John A. Musgrave Dies After q Long and
Painful Illness.


Painful Illness.
John A. Musgrave died yesterday at the
Homeopathic Hospital of rheumatism after
an illness covering period of 12 years.
Mr. Musgrave began life as messenger on
the Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroad. By
strict attention he arose step BY step until
he became the local agent in this city. In
1882, when all the Pennsylvania company's
lines running northwest were consolidated,
he was made cashier, which position he was
compelled to resign shortly after, on ac-
count of i'll health. He also took an active
interest in politics, and served several
terms in Councils He was a member of
the Fire Commission, and to his activity
was due a great number of reforms in the
department.
Mr.. Musgrave was born in this city in
1916, and married daughter of the late
Captain Reese. The funeral services will
take place from Samson's Chapel, on Sixth
avenue, tomorrow afternoon at o'clock.

"CREEN GOODS"
Making Government Currency In Public
and Selling 1T mt IA Discount.

There was a hurried call for secret
service agents on New street yester-
day, says the n. Y. Press, to catch
some green-goods men who were open
ing and attempting to dispose of green
goods and machines for printing United
States treasury notes at the rear of the
New York stock exchange to a crowd
of brokers who were unwilling to buy,
although there was much wider margin
for profit than is generally offered in
wheat or stocks. Brand-new, crisp 81
bills were offered at % cents apiece,
with no takers. Uncle Sans 2's went
begging at 50 cents, while the "V's,"
offered at the small sum of 81, were
carried away by n man who offered TO
disposed of them. The man who cX-
posed the money for sale was apparent

rather loud suit of brown check hand

with pearl buttons the size Of trade

diamond ring on his little finger,
diamond pin in his scarf, and had a
large black mustache. He had the APP
pearance of Il man not quite certain to

The two secret-service agents who
responded to the message over the
telephone watched the operation of the
man who worked the machine for fully
five minutes, and then left, laughing
as they did so at the way the fellows
were fooling the public. The machine
is the latest toy invented and was put
on the market yesterday. The money
which the men offered the public was
just as good as if it had been received
from the treasury department. in

TOMMY'S PARTNER.

They were the oldest pair Tommy
and his partner; for Tommy was a
small lad still in frocks, the partner a
big cast-iron lion that ornamented his
auntie's front yard. Tommy rode up
on his back, hung flowers around his
neck, shared his bread and butter with
him, daubing his Gonship all over in
the sharing. Daily, as he went and
came, it was "Mornin', Lion; Evenin',
Lion; don't you be scared till Tommy
comes back again.
Everybody laughed over the boys
odd fancy-papa most Of all. 1t was
he who taught Tommy to talk of "my
partner" and told that young person
fairy tales of how his partner came to
life of nights, and went about to see if
Tommy had been good Robert, you

child believes every word you tell him, !"
grandma would say after one of these
recitals. Mamma and auntie only
laughed over them. Tommy, they
thought would soon outgrOw such faith;
besides, it was useful sometimes, for
Tommy had very stout will of his
own, though his heart was so tender
that if mamma said, Il don't think
Lion likes boys who do that" he was
very apt to stop without more ado.
By-and-by the circus came to town,
and Tommy was told that he was to
go and see it. Papa told him as well
such tales of it au-the horses the
music, the chariots the beautiful
ladies, and clowns, and elephants, and

then came to the bear cage, and Tom
my wanted to "turn the big dog loose"
The tiger made him hide his eyes in
papa's shoulder-the creature had such
yellow fangs and fierce black and yellow
stripes. At the next cage he sprang
almost out of papa's arms, and began
bawling: "They've got my partner an

in to take him away from me. Don't
let them, papa; don't! don't! If you

The keeper grinned; Tommy's papa
laughed little uneasily. "Shure,

lad under the chin, "ye must be early

MARRIED In TROUSERS
They Guarreled and She Adopted Male
Costume in Order to Find Him.

Some months ago there came to this
| city young man who claimed to be
| 20 years old and who sought work in a
| clearinghouse as dishwasher, saws
a Hutchinson (Kan.) correspondent of
| the St. Louis Chronicle. He had q
very boyish appearance and was ex-
| tremely shy. He refused to share his
room with any other man and was
looked upon as being queer. 1t was
| noticed that the young man, who
gave his name as Joe Richardson,
spent much of his time when he was
not at work hanging around the depot
to watch the trains.
Last Friday when the train came in
from the east, as usual Richardson was
at the platform watching the passen-
gers who got off. Among them were
two travelling statesmen from St. Louis.
Joe was noticed to give a great start
as they came from the train and to
shrink back in the shadow OF the depot
until they had gone up town. He fol-
lowed them closely and saw them en-
ter the hotel and then returned to the
house where he worked. After sup
per he disappeared.
While the two travelling men were
sitting in the Office of the hotel a boy
brought in note and asked for a GER
tain name. One of the drummors
said he answered to that name, and
the boy gave him the note. He care
lessly opened it, but had no sooner
seen the writing than he became very
much excited and rushed out of the
place. His friend followed as rapidly
as possible, and reached the street in
time to see the drummer and Joe in
close embrace.
When his friend returned he had a
young man with him, and the first re-
mark made was request for the mys-
titled man to go and get minister.
This was done, and in the hotel parlor
there occurred a wedding which was
perhaps the Strangest ever seen. What
seemed to be two men were Joined by
the minister and became man and
wife. The parties would not give
their names, but the register now
shows that the drummer was George
Scott
He told his friend that he and the
young lady had been engaged for some
time, but they had a quarrel. Roth
had been hasty, but Scott was the first

not answer he would leave the city.
She was anxious TO see him again and

her that he travelled in Kansas. and

mentioned the name Hutchinson. she
came here on venture, and watched
for weeks in hopes that she would one
day be able to see him and tell linn
that she still loved him. Her search
was successful, and there is probably

Outlook Very Favorable for the Farmers
The Season Week Later.
Dies MONIES, April 9.-The first bull
letin of the Iowa weather and crop
service for the season, issued to-
day, gives the following summary:
Compared with the average of the
past fifteen years this season is about
a week late; but the general condi-
tions are more favorable than at the
corresponding date lastye The first
half of the week was warmer than the
average for the season, but freezing
temperature prevailed the last three
days. No especial damage, however,
is likely to result. There was general
excess Of rainfall Throughout the State,
which has delayed seeding, but the soil
is now well saturated at greater depth
than at any time within the past five
years and grass has made a fine start.
The acreage of winter wheat in this
State, though increasing in recent
years, is still relatively small. The re-
ports indicate that in about two-thirds
of the counties wherein it is grown its
condition is fair, and in the other sec
ton it is not promising. Winter rye is
generally in good condition. All kinds
Of live stock have come through the
winter in excellent condition
