GOING TO
The Alliance Aid Association TO Re-
move to Topeka, Kansas.

From Hon. j. G. cManima, Of
of Pierre, who is In the city today,
il is learned that the Alliance Aid
Association life insurance or
ganization with headquarters at
Huron-will shortly be removed to
Topeka, Kansas. This step will
necessitate the removal to Topeka
of Alonzo Wardall, sometimes call
ed "Alonzo. the Great" and S. ID.
Cooley, both Of whom have been
connected with the association since
an early day. 2. ID. Scott, at one
time a Popullst senator from Grant
county, is also connected with the
company in an Official way, but has
not as yet perfected his plans for
the future.
This change of base would seem
to indicate two things, viz: That
the Aid association has found the
picking very poor in South Dakota
with the prospects for the future
decidedly dubious, and that the AL
lance is gradually abandoning the
state instead of relying upon it, as
the past, as one of its greatest stamp
ing fields in the union of states.
Kansas, on the other hand, has been
recognized for some time as the hot
bed of the Popullst doctrine and
movement, and If the Alliance Aid
and kindred organizations cannot
flourish there they are indeed mark
ed for an early demise. Topeka
and Kansas certainly promise an
enlarged and partially unworked
field for Wardall's "Helping Hand
and unlimited surplus of GALL

The Sad Predicament of Miss Lovetta Stoner
of Muncie.

The Sad Predicament of Miss Lovetta stoner
of Muncie.
MUNcIE. May Especial. Tine an
nouncement here TODAY of the sad predic-
ament OF pretty Miss Lovetta Stoner, who
was connected with an elopement two
weeks ago. caused much surprise.
The young lady formerly lived at
Springfield. o., and was stenograpber for
the Whitley reaper company. coming here
with that establishment. While at Spring
felc she met ana loved Z. II. Williams,
q fine appearing sewing machine agent.
The young lady's parents live in Oklaho-
ma territory and her sister, Mrs. Doug
lass Reid, objected to her admiration OF
Williams. Two weeks ago the young
man met the girl here and they went to
CovinRton. Ky, and were married, going
thence to Marietta o., where his people
reside. The Springfield Times, on which
her brother-in-law, Douglass Reid, is en-
ployed, contains a sensational item, stating
that Williams has a wife and child at
Denver, Col. and the girl will be brought
home and Williams prosecuted for big
amy.
The Whitley people say the situation is
open for Lovetta if she wishes to return
to Muncie.

CONGRESSMAN COOPER PLEASED.
The Pension Commissioner Rescinds the
Order of Completed Files.

The Pension Commissioner Rescinds the
Order of Completed Files.
COLUMBUS. May 14.-[Special. ]Congress-
man Cooper is in receipt of private tele-
gram from Washington announcing that
the new commissioner of pensions has
rescinded the "Order OF Completed Files"
This famous order, known to the bu-
reau and to pension attorneys as order
No. 15l was made by Commissioner Raum.
1t was made under such circumstances as
to create the almost universal belief that it
was made in the interest OF George L.
Lemon. a wealthy Washington pension
attorney.
This order provided that any claimant
might apply to have his claim put upon
list of completed files" by filing
statement that his claim was complete
and ready for adjudication. Such claims
were TO be taken up at once without re-
gard to the order in which they We're
filed and given immediate consideration.
The evidence taken at the Raum investi-
CATION showed that this order was made
on the 9th OF January 1890. at the
request OF Lemon, and that the day fol-
lowing Lemon Endorsed Raum's notes for
$4,000. The report of the committee.
WHICH was SHOWN lne correspondent Dy
Mr.. Cooper, contains the following:
Under order 15l. from Feb. 8, 1890, to the
9th OF August following. Mr. Lemon certified
to the completed files s, ITO cases, which at the
lowest rate allowed by law. would make his
fees ISL 100. There was no evidence
produced before this committee to show that
the note Endorsed by Lemon had ever been
paid by the commissioner. We submit that
this not a bona fide transaction. We say
that 1t IS a fair inference that this Endorsement
was made in consideration of official action on
the part OF the commissioner favorable to
George +. Lemon.
Mr.. Cooper is highly pleased with the
result. Not only because of the final and
complete removal of this ORDER but, as he
says, because it shows that Judge Lochren
understands the situation and is not to be
influenced by the old crowd that has so
completely dlsgraced the pension office.

Rumors that the man had been murdered
were circulated and ut first believed but the
evidence adduced at the inquest conducted by

as described. The train was stopped and Con-
ductor q. K. Pickrell had Deputy Coroner Og-

had been identified and conveyed to the Blaine

DIR. Hancock disclosed a fracture of the alveo-
lar process Of the lower jaw, an abrasion be-

wINDFALL BANK ALL RIGHT.
The False Reports Concerning the Peoples
Bank Are Contradicted.

The False Reports Concerning the Peoples
Bank Arc Contradicted.
WINDFALL. May l5.-ISpecial. I'm JUS
tice to the Peoples bank of this place, THE
SENTINEL correspondent desires to correct
a false impression that has gone out to
the effect that the Peoples bank was I'M
der the management and control of the
Dwiggins & Starbuck system, and had
gone down in the vortex with the Colum-
bia bank of Chicago and other kindred
institutions. or at least had been badly
crippled in tue wreck.
1t is all a mistake. The facts are that
the Peoples bank was originally nder
the Dwlggins d Stsrbuck management,
but In August last the bank was organized
into a stock company under the state
law. The stock is owned principally by
the most substantial farmers and the best
business men OF Upton county.
The bank Is in a safe and prosperous
condition, and will not lose TO exceed
$500 by reason of the recent bank failures
Deposits are being increased instead of
being taken out, and the bank is moving
along as though nothing had occurred.
KNIGHTsvILLE, Nav To- Special. The
failure Of the Columbia bank at Chicago
temporarily embarrassed the Clay City
bank at Clay City. and the fact that the
bank had cashed several thousand dollars
worth OF pension checks during the past
few days. renting them to their New
York correspondents. made il impossi BILE
for the bank to cash its New York eX-
change. For this reason the directors
concluded to refuse deposits for a few
| days, and to make settlement with the de-
positors with the banks secured paper.
The deposits are $4,000 and the bank
holds S45. 900 of secured paper. Some of
the depositors are settling in this way

came to this city. Last evening they in
quired for a train home and found that
none went until this morning, and started
to walk
They took the wrong road and soon
landed at Yorktown. There they boarded
the front end OF baggage car, but We're
found by the conductor, who put them
off. The lads then continued their walk
and about o'clock reached Daleville.
Just before arriving at the town they
stopped at the switch and placed dozen
or more car-pins in the frog. The lads
then went TO DsleVille and purchased
tickets for y nderson. A man noticed them
placing the distractions on the track and
notified the section men. The OBJ
structions were removed and the boys
taken in charge. They were arraigned
before the Justice of the peace at Dale
Vile and plead guilty to placing the OBJ
structions on the track. They were
brought TO Muncie by two OF the section
men and placed in jail.
The story tod by the boys is as fol-
lows:
I'VE got on the train at Yorktown ex-
Decting to pay our way to Anderson. We
thought the steps where we got on WAS
the right place, but could not open the
door The conductor did not ask us for
money. We had no tickets, the office not
being open go that we could buy them.
Without giving US time to explain the con-
ductor kicked us off and left us there
When we came to the switch we aced
the iron on the track, wanting to get
even for the bad treatment given us by
the cruel conductor"
Car pins and links were fastened in the
largest frog at a switch which is on a
sharp curve. There were a dozen or fifteen
pieces in the track, either of which would
have wrecked the train.
The Southwestern limited express No.
II was due shortly after the discovery was
made.
