tomt Omcers.
New YoRK, Nov. 14.-Among the
passengers who landed last evening
from the steamer La Bourgogne from
Hayre was we'll built, broad-shoulder-
ed man in fashionable attire, whose par
ticularly upright bearing attracted the
attention of Special Custom Inspectors
Brown and Donovan. On examining
him more closely Inspector Donovan
noticed something larger than button
bulging out at the back OF his tightly
fitting fall overcoat. He was taken into
the examination room, and despite his
indignant protests, was obliged to re:
move his clothing. Then it was found
that he wore about his body something
that was a cross between woman's
corset and life preserver. In it were
pockets containing sixty-eiSht valuable
gold watches. The watches were seized
and the man was locked up in Ludlow
street Jail. His name is Louis Marbel
and he is resident OF some town in
Washington, where it is believed he
keeps a jewelry store. The watches
found on him are valued at $4,000.
The prisoner, when arraiGned before
United States Commissioner Shields,
said that his name was Louis Marbel
and that ne was banker and had lived
for several years in Seattle. He went
to Switzerland in July last and bought
the watches there, he said, for $500. He
was held for examination in default Of
s., 500 bail.

Who is Extravaganza
Tnunity..

1t appears by several letters the ADvo-
CATE has received from the western
counties that the immaculate William
Higgins, secretary of state, Is taking
some pains to circulate q report that the
last legislature was very extravsgant In
Its appropriations for state printing. One
r. M. Painter, candidate for representa-
tive in Meade county, and an understudy
OF the lncorriglble Heber, has exhibited
letter from William which, if reported
correctly, states that the last legislature
appropriated $4,000 more for state
printing than the one preceding 1t. OF
course some allowance must be made for
the jots and Titles that may have been
added to or deducted from Mr.. Higgins
letters after they left his hands, but the
prepondersnce Of evidence is that the
letters were written for the purpose Of
misrepresenting something. Mr.. Hig-
gins would not go to the trouble to write
a letter for any other purpose. But
where on earth or In Office he sccummu-
lated the gall to make an assertion SINH
lar to the above is a question. Let us
make comparison:
The appropriations made for printing
by the last republican legislature were:
1892. Sl5s, ,s33. 81
1928 7O,49O. Sc
For proof OF the above, see auditors re-
port 1889-9O. In addition to that amount
the legislature Of 1891 was called upon to
supply q deficiency Of $4,000 (See ses-
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-10-19

At first Mr.. Eberhardt thought he was
joking, but when he realized that the
man he had trusted for years was thus
deliberately robbing him, he felt deeply
hurt. In his own words, he said, "To be
thus deceived hurt me worse than the
money It cost me-" Mr.. Eberhardt, not
wishing to give up the property, compro-
missed the matter by paying Mr.. Carver
800, part Of which he afterwards re-
covered from the parties who had decided
him the property. Do you believe this,
or do you want Mr.. Eberhardt's afldavitP
Now please do not say any more about
the purity of your candidate. It don't
sound we'll to people who have lived
here for some time, and makes you ap-
pear in a ridiculous light.
"At the same time and In the same
manner Mr.. Carver gave Mrs. Belleville
q like benefit, only this happened to be a
Santa Fe lot, more valuable, hence he
struck for more mercy in this case. Mrs.
BelleVille gave him her check for $1,000,
and her note for another 81 900, with an
agreement that whatever was received
from the parties who had previously
owned the property should cancel the
note. Mrs. Belleville is a widow lady
who has lived here for years, and we
doubt if another man In town would have
had the nerve to face such a transaction
if he expected still to remain in the COM
munity."

IT WON'T WORK.
A Republican Ticket is No Place for the
Name Of an Honest Man.

Name Of an Honest Man.
Speaking of the good name and credit
of the state, lt would seem that In order
to maintain them the dominant party, if
1t hoped to remain in power, would select
for the various state Offices men who
were ordinarily respectable in the COM
munity in which they live. Il Is not fair
to deny that there are a few honest men
In the republican party. Not many Gas
Ingalls, said Of the democrats), but some.
Yet 1t does seem that il their convention
had raked the state with fne-tOotheI
comb they could not have caught any
more characterlesS beings than those
whose names they have used to fill sew
eral Of the most important places on their
state and congressional tickets. They are
indeed what old-fashioned country peo-
pie call "ornery," and everybody knows
what that means.
The ADVOCATE has read the pedigree
Of several Of them, and had thought to
let the biography of the others remain
shady, but here is some more republican
evidence staring us In the face, showing
how T. F. Carver, candidate for attorney
general, betrayed the confidence of q
client, and forced a widow to pay him
$4,000 to clear the property which she
had paid for once before.
When Carver first became candidate
for attorney general, the Sslina Journal,
republican paper Of his own town, pub
llshed the facts given below. Contrary
to the intent Of the publisher, the state
ment only helped to nominate him, as
that seemed to be the kind of timber the
convention was looking for. Carver and
Mr.. Eberhardt both live in Saline county.
The Union reprints the Journals state
ment as follows:
"For years Mr.. Carver was the trusted
attorney Of Mr.. Eberhardt and his bust
ness associates. For several years they
paid him yearly salary to look after
their legal matters, and afterwsrd paid
him for such services as he rendered the
firm. When Mr.. Eberhsrdt built his new
house, he moved the old buildings to lot
just south of the corner on Eighth street,
which he supposed he had owned for
years. There he prepared a neat and
comfortable home for his aged parents,
and they lived there for several years.
Mr.. Carver In the meantime had dis
covered q defect In the title Of this and
various other pieces Of property In the
city and had purchased the outstanding
titles. OF course Mr.. Carver went I'm
mediately to Mr.. Eberhsrdt and told him
about the defect In this title, and helped
him TO straighten it out, as he was his
legal adviser. Of course he did not. In
stead, he took q witness along, and ten
dered Mr.. Eberhardt the price of the
improvements he had made on the lots.
