CoIIared the Collateral.

No little excitement was caused Mon
day by the somewhat high-handed way
in which Banker Tomblin got control
of some collateral that was in the
hands of the county treasurer to sec
ure the county deposits State Bank
Examiner Briedenthral was looking
over the banks finances and standing
and finding some collateral short was
told that it was in the safe of the coun-
ty treasurer. He and Mr. Tomblin
went to the courthouse and asked the
county treasurer for the securities, say
ing that they wished to check them
over. They were handed over and the
banker took them and gave them to
the examiner, who refused to give them
up, saying that he had made ruling
that all collateral were supposed to be
in the bank and should not be used as
securities Despite the demonstration
OF the county treasurer they were tax
en- away, leaving the county without

The Coming Entertainment.

E. Elba Wright viii appear at the
opera house, Monday evening, Dec. IL,
under the auspices of the Goodland
Silver Cornet band. Mr.. Wright has a
reputation as being the master of the
art of hnmor and one of the most en-
tertaining artists in that line in the
country. He is everywhere endorsed
by the press as unexcelled- The press
notices that he has received from the
newspapers of the various cities in
which he has appeared assures the
people of Goodland of a good enter
tSainment. The Goodland band has
made a reputation for itself and is an
honor to the city and should receive
the free handed support OF all patriot
ic citizens. 1t is hard work to keep up
the finances of such an organization
without receiving some encouraging
help from the people. GOo1land

house in full force next Monday night
to welcome EIba, and also show their
appreciation of the efforts made by the
band boys to finish first In the race for
musical honors.

and did not consult physician until a week ago, when be went to Dr. McLane and told him of his suspicious. The doctor confirmed them and advised him to at least submit to an examination. and to un- necessary. The colonel agreed to this and an examination was decided on.
 The Oxygen Treatment"Fatal.
 Before the arrival of the doctor he com plained of severe pains and said he thought he would go to bed. But he first went to the telephone, called up the office of his paper and gave number of instructions about its future conduct in case anything should happen to him. As nobody in his office knew he was i'll these instructions caused considerable wonder.
 Colonel Shepard then said that he was ready for the surgeons, and they, with the nurses, began the work of putting hin under ether. He had inhaled the drug but two or three times when the physician detected dangerous symptoms and stopp- ! the inhalation. Colonel Shepard sank rap idly, and it was feared that he could not ls rallied. Powerful restoratives were ad. ministered. At the end of an hours work with oxygen he was restored to partial con- sciousness, and he continued apparently to rally. Soon after, without warning and for no apparent reason, he began rapidly to sink. The oxygen treatment was re- stunned, but it was of no avail and he died. He was unconscious, and his death was peaceful. The cause of the death given by the physicians was cedema of the lungs.
 Brief Sketch of His Life.
 Mir. Shepard was born in Jamestown, N. Y, on July 25, 1888. He graduated from the New York University in 1855 and was admitted to the bar in 1858.
 In 1861 and 1862 he was aid. de-camp on the staff of Governor Edwin D. Morgan, was in command of the depot of volun- teers at Elmira, N. Y, and aided in organ izing equipping and forwarding to the field nearly 5000 troops. He was instrumental in raising thu Forty-first New York regi- ment, which was named the Shepard rifles. He was the founder of the New York State Bar association in 1876.
 In 1888 he purchased The Mail and Ex- press, and it was then that he came mt @ prominently before the public. One of his ideas was to print every day at the head of the editorial column n verse from the Bib !.
 He married daughter of the late Go IT. modore Vanderbilt, being thus an uncle y marriage to the present Vanderbilts. His daughter married William Schieffelin, the report wns current at the time that 1T wedding presents were valued aJ half & million.

Fortune For a workhouse pauper.

Lambeth workhouse contains an in mate of the name of Sheridan, who is said to be the heir to e300, ,000. The man is old and has been sheltered in the workhouse for some years, all unsus- pecting that he was in reality "rich be- yond the dreams of ayarice." It is said that Mrs. Blake, sister of Sheridan's father, died intestate in 1883, and that the Lambeth pauper is the next of kin. It was only the other day that he was discovered by the lawyers who have been searching for him and his identity established.
 The estate consists of property valued at e160,o00, alleged to lie principally in the neighborhood of St. Georges, Han over square and Regent street, while the personally amounted to no less than e140, ,000. These are the figures which rumor mentions, but whether they are exact or not remains to be seen. All that is definitely known at present is that Sheridan is still in the workhouse, but has been told that he is supposed to be the heir to some monsy.-Londou Telegraph.

The Count of Paris Says That the Time
 For Change Has Come.
 PARIS, March 28.-The count of Paris has sent out circular letter to the monarchit committees throughout France. It reads, in part:
 1.-The present moment is most critical. The chamber has completely lost credit throughout the country. The government has no courage to act against the social ists. It is powerless at home and devoid of authority abroad. The time has come for all right minded men to unite In supreme effort to restore the honor of France The monarchists lust not repudiate any polit- ical alliance required by the interest of the nation and for the defense of religious lib- erty, but at the same time they must let France understand that the monarchy alone can give to her strong and stable government, whose sole object will be the public welfare. My son seconds me in try ing to realize this object. We shall spare no effort to place France upon firmer foun- dationsn

PURSUING A CONVICT.
ESCAPE OF LATlMER, THE MATRi-
 clDE, FROM JACKSON JAIL.

Poisoned the Guards and Let Himself Out
 With Their Keys-Perhaps He Was
 PatricIde Too-A Whole Neighborhood
 Alarmed.
 JACKSON, Mich, March 2s-This section of the state has been up in arms for many hours looking for K. Irving Latimer, the prisoner who escaped from prison by poi soning the guards. When Latimer made his escape he had rife and plenty of ann munition. He was known to be desperate, too, but hundreds of men and boys turned out to hunt for him. George w. Haight, who was killed by the poison given him ny Latimer, had charge of one of the gates.
 Captain Maurice T. Gill. the night keeper, was arrested on a charge of being the indirect means of the escape of Lati- mer. About 11:30 o'clock he and Latimer took lunch together in the hallmaster's office. It was against the rules for Gill to take a convict our of his cell.
 Latimer, it seems, has been telling Gill that there was q, 800 buried on an island in the state of Rhode Island, where Latimer's father lived when Irving was 1S years old. Gill was taken with this story, and had Latimer out to lunch every night to give him details. Gill expected to leave the prison in three weeks.
 Poison In the Glass.
 Latimer had been in the habit of taking up a cup of chocolate neatly every night to Gatekeeper Haight, passing 1t through a slide in the grating, which Haght took with his midnight lunch.
 There Is no doubt that Latimer had planned to poison both Haight and Gill, and the chocolate at night was only to gain confidence until he could get some poison. At lunch last night Latimer carried up a glass of lemonade to Haight instead of chocolate, and Haight died in % minutes after drinking it. Gill also drank of the lemonade and was attacked with spasms almost instantly.
 Latimer then took Gill's keys and es- capped. The prison authorities have offered reward for Latimer, dead or alive. and | officers are securing the country Latimer is one of the shrewdest convicts known to the prison officials. He had en- gagged in several plots for an uprising of | the prisoners, and once succeeded in intro ducing quantity of dynamite into the | prison It was intended to blow down tle | walls and free all the convicts. The plot was discovered, and Latimer, although the leading spirit in it, was only temporarily deprived of bis privileges as favorite pris- | oner.
 The latest report was that Latimer had | been surrounded In piece of woods near Concord by posse.
 | Latimer murdered his mother in Jack | son four years ago, and there was a suspi- cion that he poisoned his father. He was serving a life sentence.

Influence of Coogressmen.

WASHINGTON, March 23. = Postmaster General Bissell, in answer to question, stated that the advice and recommends tions of congressman, while not being ao- cepted as conclusive in appointing post masters, would be given due consideration. He thought, however, that the question of candidates should, in measure at least, be decided by the people of the locality. Mir. Bissell also regretted the published statements that women and newspaper men would not be appointed, saying neither of these statements was true.

When the Prince Called on rennyson.

When the Prince Called on TennysOn.
 There is one story that will be historic of a call which the Prince of Wales once made upon Tennyson. He had new page boy, who knew not the prince, and who had been warned against admitting strangers to the house on any pretext. One day the prince walked over from Osborne to see the poet. He gained the entrance, which was of itself no easy task, and knocked at the door. "Mas- ter's not in" he was told. The prince detecting that this was a promiscuous answer, which it was the page boys in- structions to give to all corners, said, Twill you kindly tell him the Prince of Wales wishes to see himP'
 The boy eyed the visitor with an irri- tatingly knowing look, and replied "Walker!' which was equivalent to say ing, Do you see anything green in my eye9" This rude remark amused the prince very much, but the boy would certainly have slammed the door ill his face if Tennyson himself. who had been listening to the conversation, had not put in an appearance and welcomed the prince to his Freshwater ho1ne.-New York Tribune.
