braces one fact which is especially
worthy of notice. The dispatch ls as
follows:
Dspositors in banks are using evergy pos
sible device TO secure bills to sell to brokers
at a premium. The banks are refusing to
cash checks unless they are we'll satisfied
there is a necessity for the use Of currency.
The president of leading national bank
complains that the banks are being treated
unfairly. Some people have been selling
the currency at premium, and TO-. day were
presenting checks TO obtain the currency
for their payroll use tomorrow. The de-
mands from the interior are still very heavy,
but are generally refused, although the
banks are held to be supplying every
legitimate demand, both in and out Of
town. They are sending about $75, 900 daily
to small manufacturing towns in New Eng
land, where the manufacturing concerns
are distressed by the want of currency with
which TO pay off their employees. The sub

Appeal From Pennsylvania.

10 the order and Friends of JustG CO
Egerya0heye:
Hugh Dempsey was tried and found
guilty OF poisoning workmen at Home
stead. The testimony on which he was
convicted was from psrjured lips. The
witness on whose evidence Hugh Dsmp-
sey was convicted has confessed that he
swore to falsehoods when on the stand
and that Dempsey is innocent.
There is bat one way to secure the
liberation Of this wronged man, and that
is to place the whole evidence and all
facts recently obtained before the board
OF psrdons Of Pennsylvania. The board
will meet about the middle OF Septem-
ber, and, in order to present the evil
dence in proper form and in numbers
sufficient to provide each member of the
board with several copies, no time should
be lost.
To compile the evidence, transcribe
stenogrspher's notes and defrsy all ex-
penses, $500 will be required, and for
that purpose now issue this appeal to
those who are unwilling to allow q
heinous wrong to bear it's crushing
weight upon an innocent man. When
issued the former appeal for funds to de-
fray the expenses OF the trial l said that
l believed firmly in the innocence Of
Hugh Dempsey. / have had no occs-
sion to change my mind, and am now as
firm in my belief that his imprisonment
is an unjust one as | was when he re-
celved his sentence.
A tri1e from each lover of justice will
soon raise the fund to the required
amount.
This money should be in hand by the
17th Of August.
Before casting this aside reflect for
one moment on the position which an
innocent man occupies while shut away
from the world in felon's cell.
Send money by registered letter, money
order, check or draft to

to find more congenlsl society in Mis-
souri,, the governor considered a for
tunate circumstance that the regiment
contained some timber that was not
rotten, out of which to make a colo
mel. So McGinnis became the com,
manding officer of the regiment, and
the presumption is that whenever he
concludes that he is not capable Of
filling the position, or not willing to
obey orders, he will resign, as a gen.
tlemsn and soldier should do.

WHO Is RTOKsEOKBR2

The day after the Hughes court
martial opened business, Pettifogger
Joe Waters received'a message from
one j. Fl. Ricksecker, of Kansas City,
which read as follows:
"Who is Mr.. McGinnis, sitting in the
Hughes oourt-msrtial as colonel of the SEQ
ond regiment, K. N. G.?' l hold commits
sion as colonel of that regiment, my
resignation offered in January not having
been accepted. What right has MOGinnis
there?"
Copies of this were handed out
among the reporters, very few OF
whom ever stop to inquire into mat
ters of the kind enough to give their
papers any information, and the next
day all the dsilies in Kansas and
Missouri, with two or three excep-
tions, were echoing "Who is Nc
Ginnis 2"
Let US first tell the public who
Ricksecker is. He is another Of those
holiday soldiers who are never there
when they are wanted. He was a
banker at Sterling and was colonel of
the Second regiment until he con-
cluded to move to Missouri and go
into the cigar business. Last Janu-
ary he sent in his resignation as colo
mel, but failed to make any report CT
or return the state property in his
possession. He WAS notified by the
governor that his resignation was
accepted and that he would be dis
charged as soon as he had complied
with the laws in regard to the states
property. That was the last heard Of
the gallant Missouri "kernel" until
he addressed the Topeka pettifogger
asking for information.
Now, as to Col. McGinnis. He is a
man and a soldier In every sense of
the two words. He was private IN
Ricksecker's regiment, and the latter
knew HIM to be good and faithful
one. His home is in Ell Dorado, and
he filled the Office of county attorney
in the "state of Butler with honor to
the Peoples party which elected him.
He is well posted in military as well
as civil law, and more, he has not a
cowardly drop of blood in his body.
Neither was he ever afflicted with the
"swelled head" as many OF the militia
officers have been. After the colonel
of the Second moved from the state

IT's simply useless trying to keep
up with Comrade Ingalls, when he

NEW YORK. Sept lit is reported
mere that Q syndicate composed OK ,. b.
HagGin, John w. Macksy and Senator

rangements for the purchase Of all the
gold mines and interests in the Beance
mining district in the Province OF Que
bee. These mines are located about 70
miles north of the city of Quebec, and are
known as the Gilbert river gold mines.
Mining Expert Dwight Crittenden, who
has been all over Mexico, South America
and South Africa in the interest Of the
Haggin syndicate, is making an examina-
tion OF the mines In the Beance district,
and has already made one report in which
he says he has found a large number OF
gold bearing quartz veins. One group of
mines In this district Is owned by num-
Der Of Boston and Portland merchants,
but it is reported that arrangements have
been made for the transfer of this prop
erty to Haggin and his associates.
The value of all the mines is away up
in the millions. Mining men here are
much interested In the outcome of the
deal as the same syndicate Is reported TO
have recently secured some Of the richest
mines tn Chill In return for cash advances
made at the time Of the Chilian war.
