THE TRIAL PROGRESSING.
kx-Treasurer Woodruff Arraigned
Before A Jury of His Peers.

The fury, which is to try for his
liberty, Ex-Tressurer of State, w. r.
Woodruff, has already been selected
sworn and empanneled before Judge
Vaughan in the Pulaski Circuit court.
at Little Rock, Ark. The case was
opened for the state by Prosecuting
Attorney Pemberton, who made
statement of facts to the jury. In his
opening remarks Mr.. Pemberton. in
explanation of the states case, said
that in 1887 the legislature constitut-
ed what is called the state debt board.
composed of the governor, auditor
and secretary of state. In 1889 the
treasurer was added to the hoard.
Under the provisions of the law
parties who had these bond coupons
could bring them to the treasury and
present them for Indebtedness. They
also had right to exchange them for
bond scrip. Maj. Woodruff went be-
fore the board in 1890 and represent
ed to the members of that board that
he had received III coupons of indebt-
edness, amounting to $3.50, from
johnson L. Jones, which Jones want
ed to exchange for bond scrip. These
coupons had been paid into treasury
for debt, and it was the sworn duty
of Woodruff to have reported such as
being the case. The state was to
prove that he fraudulently secured
the signatures of the state debt board
to the order for the exchange of
coupons which had been paid, thereby
bringing them out again and getting
credit for bond scrip for himself.
Mr.. Pemberton said the state was
able to prove by the records of the
treasurer's office that $4,000 of these
coupons were paid into the treasury
on April 20, 1885, by M. L. Bell, Of
Pine Bluff, in payment for certain
state lands five years prior to Wood
ruff's receipt of them. The state
would also show that there was no
such person as johnson L. Jones.

Tramps May Ride Free.

Vice-President Crocker, of the
Southern Pacific, has announced that
his company does not propose to
make any fight against the hordes OF
tramps who are beating their way
westward on freight trains. lie has
arrived at the conclusion that it is
useless to unload the ticketess tourists,
because they get aboard again in suf-
ficient number to overpower the train
men. Therefore Mr.. Crocker believes
that time can be saved and bloodshed
averved by allowing the tramps to
ride as long as they are peaceable. No
proclamation to that effect has been
issued from the company's headquar-
ters, but it is to be mutually under
stock that the trainmen are not to
molest the "hobos" except in self de-
fensc.
1t is likely that the other lines ex-
tending from the Rockies the the
Pacific will follow the Southern's ex-
ample in this respect, if they have not
already done so in quiet way.

Gold Excitement.

If we may believe recent reports
from Denver and other Colorado
cities, the decline in silver and the
forced closing down Of many silver
mines has, to a certain extent, worked
a new condition in mining in the
west. Mining men and prospectors
have turned attention to gold mining
with wonderful results in reopening
old camps and the discovery of new
ones throughout the state. The rich
est discoveries have been made in the
region around and above Idaho
Springs and Cripple creek. In the
former the Pioneer Melton and the
Gold King, the latter an extension Of
the famous Alice, have shown a vein
of 5000 feet and without side foot
or hanging walls, so great is the body
Of ore. At Cripple creek the Anacon-
da, Victor and a dozen others are
causing much excitement. The Rio
Grande is preparing to build road
into this camp. The ore in both dis
tricts runs from 800 to $500 per ton
The number of people headed for the
gold fields is reminder of the old
excitement of Pixies Peak years ago.

St. Paul Trade Journal: In all
countries there is a correspondence
between the amount Of currency and
population, but the correspondence
is deterrent in different countries.
The amount of currency is proper
toned to the business Of the country,
and the business corresponds with
the Development OF the people in
civilization. In France more bust
ness is done for the amount Of popu-
lation than in any country of the
world, but it is Of domestic kind to
a Fery great extent, and of little pro-
fit to the people each year. In other
European countries the business is
about the same in amount for the
cultivated portion of the people, and
it is all the present system Of govern
ment and society permits. The
people of the United States have the
most profitable business Of any coun-
try, and because of the opportun-
tiles, and intelligence and freedom of
the people. In Denmark the people
have more money for population than
in ANY other country, but it is all
owned by a class of wealthy persons
who have no fellowship with the poor
class beyond degree of humanity.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed
condition Of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars; free.

Washington Correspondence: Il
is the popular impression that the
smaller affairs of government are
very loosely run, and that in any Of
the departments are opportunities fol
''fat pickings" by any man not over
scrupulous. As evidence Of the in
correctness Of this theory, one Of the
Treasury Department employees re
lates an incident Of the first day Of
the administration of the present
Secretary, lfr. Carlisle. The out
going Secretary, Mr.. Foster, had oc-
cupied one chair at his desk for a
long time, and, as men will, had be-
como attached to it. He expressed a
desire to take it with him. Certain
~" said his successor, stake it along"
But that was more easily said than
done. First, an order was necessary
then the chair was to be accounted
for to the official who has
such matters in charge; then it was
to be paid for. It was yalueloss
piece of furniture. AS a short way
out OF the difficulty, the appraiser
was sent for. He eyed the wreck
over, and said it might be worth So
to anybody who wanted it very much.
CAL right, said the new Secretary.
Then he put his hand into his pocket,
pulled out $2sDill, paid the official,
and presented the chair to his pre-
dessor.
