He Asks for Money to Bail Out Per-
sons Arrested.


sons Arrested.
young man neatly dressed and about
feet inches tall has hit upon an easy
way to put himself in funds. but as far as
heard from he has not met with great
deal of success.
On Friday afternoon he called upon Mrs.
Stewart. 205 Valencia street. and told her
that her husband had just returned to the
city, but as he had got himself in to trouble
he was detained on the water front and
had sent him for S25, which he urgently
needed.
She told him that she did not have any
money IN the house, but would 90 to the
man would return in an hour ne could
have il. She got the money. but the
young man, evidently fearing that she
nigh. lay a trap for him, failed to return.
About 10 o'clock last night w. c. Ham,
ersoD, carpenter and builder, 318 Twenty
ninth street. was reused out Of bed by
messenger boy in uniform. The boy
handed him note which requested him to
give the bearer $40 TO bail out one of his
men who bad been arrested and was at the
Southern Police station. The boys de-
cription of the man who sent him Tailed
with that of the young man who called
upon Mrs. Stewart.
HameFton was considerably surprised
as the man said to have been arrested was
to have been married last night, and ne
told the boy that he would hitch up his
horse and drive to the station himself TO
see what the trouble was. He drove to the
Southern station and also 10 the Seven
teenth street station. bat no such arrest
had been made and 1t dawned upon him
that some one wanted 10 make him the
poorer by $40.
There may be other cases. but these are
the only two made known to the police.
People should be on their guard against
this smooth swindler.

There is a report of a chat with Professor
Drummond on his return from America in "Tbe
Boys Brigade Gazette" In which the professor
reeounts some OF his experiences with the
Yankee interviewer. "The day before saliur
from New York was called upon at my hotel
by a representative of one of the New York
dailies. On being shown in he al once began:

Bevond all question there will be fully
10000 Chinese in this district who will re-
fuse to register for the express purpose of
having their fare paid home. Most of
these men will surrender themselves, and
those who do not will be rounded up by
the Unned States Marshals and special

From this time on IL can con fidently be
predicted that the rush to register will
steadily increase. and it is to be hoped the

BIG SUIT PROPOSED.
Uncle Sam May Sue Union Pacific
Directors for Forty Millions.

WASHINGTON. March 14.-One of the
most important propositions yet sub
mitted TO congress will be presented to
the house tomorrow by Representative
Boatner. of Louisiana. The proposition
will recite numerous defaults OF the
Union Pacific railroad and contiguous
lines to meet the debt due the United
States. Ii will charge the present and
past directors of the road with viola
ton of their trust, and improper alb
sorption of outside lines, and the voting
of dividends contrary to law and against
the interests of the United States.
1t will direct, in the form of a Joint
resolution, that the president shall
appoint special counsel TO institute suit
against the present and past directors,
their heirs and legal representatives, to
collect $4,000 600 and interest due the
United States.
With interest the amount of litigation
wonld exceed 4U,000,0 1t would be
the largest law suit ever instituted in
this country, if not the largest in any
country. BY the terms Of the resolu-
ton the department of justice would be
relieved from further action Ill tile
Union Pacific cases and the suit would
be prosecuted by special counsel as
special case. The joint resolution
places 100000 at the disposal of the
president for the employment of coun-
sci. 1t is provided that the counsel
shall not be IN any way connected in
present or past service with the Union
Pacific road or with any of the direct
orS. 80
The Boatner resolution has been
drawn with great care and after consul
tatlOn among the legal authorities of
the house. who, it is declared, are not
entirely satisfied with the manner in
which the governments interests have
thus far been protected and prosecuted.
The resolution then recites that the
board Of directors, in contravention of
the law of March B, 1873, attempted d
consolidation with the Kansas Pacific
railroad and the Denver Pacific rail-
road, and issued stock of the Union
Pacific on this consolidation for si4, OOo,-
900. 1t is charged that afterward fur
ther stock amounting to $4,000, coo was
issued for the alleged purpose OF max
ing repairs, etc. That the purchase OF
the two railroads by the Union Pacific
was made by the directors, who were
themselves stockholders of the Kansas
Pacific and the Denver Pacitic2 while
the president of the Union Pacific was
at the time president of the Kansas
Pacific. That dividends have been
voted III violation of the acts OF 1878 and
1878, not out of actual earnings. and
while the Union Pacific was still IN de-
fault to the United States. These pay
ments from 1875 to 1884 are stated TO
have been S27.0O0.000.

AN EASY WAY TO EooNoMIzE.
A ST. PAUL WOMAN,s METHOD
OF SAVING THE DOLLARS.

New Clothing Made From Old by
Diamond Dyes Spring Dresses.
Suits and Wraps With No Elk.
pense for New Material-Dressin
Well With Little Money.
In these hard times st. Paul woman
has found diamond dyes the greatest
help in economiZing. With their aid.
her husband. her children and herself
have dressed comfortably. although
nearly all the clothing was old material,
dyed over.
Diamond dyes make such beautiful
colors that goods dyed with them cannot
be told from new. Any one can use
them. as the directions are so plain and
simple that no skill is needed. The
color is there TO stay, and will not wash,
wear or fade out.
SILK, cotton, wool, dresses, cloaks,
stockings, feathers, laces. carpet rags,
are all easily colored by diamond dyes.
They are specially prepared for home
use. and the makers guarantee them the
strongest and fastest OF all dyes. Use
package and see how easy it is to dye
at home. The diamond are the original
package dyes, and no one should accept
any of the inferior substitutes that are
sometimes kept by dealers for larger
profit. Many of the dyestuffs in dia-
mond dyes are original discoveries that
simplify the work. and cannot be had in
other dyes. Insist on having the dia-
mond, ana you will always be success
ful IN home-dyeing.

BROKE ITS BARRIERS,
Bursting of a Reservoir Causes a
Heavy Loss of Property,


BOISE, Idaho, March 14.-NewS was
received in this city this evening that
Indian Creek reservoir had broken its
rocky barriers and was sweeping down
upon ranches and villages, CARRYING de-
strucuon and ruin in its path. This
reservoir was constructed of solid
masonry at the head of Indian creek,
and was heretofore thought to be a YER
liable Gibraltar. Hyde and Jackson.
New York capitalists, built the reser-
volr as water supply for orchard farm
culture, that was recently set out in
Idaho and bouded for $4,000. The
reservoir covered 500 acres of land
and was said TO contain water sufficient
to lrrigate may thousand acres. 1t cost
S5O,00O. The country between RySuka
and Caldwell Is all under water. Every
railroad bridge between Nampa and
RySuka Is washed away, and many
miles of railroad track submerged.
which will prevent trains from
running over the Union Pacific
short line for many days. The dam
broke about noon and messengers were
sent at breakneck speed on horseback
to warn settlers and urge families 10
hasten to places of safety. A mighty
wall of water came sweeping down
Indian Greek, bearing on its bosom
houses, sheep, calves, barns, farming
utensils, anu Submerging whole farms.
Citizens OF Nanpa, little town on the
short line. saw the approach of the de-
VaStatlng water and fled to high ground.
Soon all the lower part of the town, III
Guiding the railroad tracks, was under
water from five to twenty feet deep.
Fifty houses at least are ruined
and many families are without
shelter and bedding. Merchants are

men were drowned, one while attempt

DIDN'T LIKE LINCOLN.
A Naval Officers Past Being Dug
Tn

WASHINGTON, March 14.-The senate
in executive session today confirmed
the nomination of ]. Marshall Wright
as naval officer at Philadelphia. but
reserved the right to reconsider if found
desirable. Mention was made of an
anonymous letter received by the sena-
tors, accusing Wright of having eX-
pressed qualification at Lincoin's death,
and it was stated that under ordinary
circumstances no attention would be
paid to such a communication, but that
in this instance the writer had said that
there were charges Oh file with the
president confirmatory of this charge.
Hence it was suggested that investiga-
ton should be made as to the existence
OF these charges, which is to be done
before the confirmation is officially an
nounced.
Senator Harris took occasion to re-
mark during the discussion ON this
point that, while his state was Demo.
cratic, no one regrett ed Lincoln's death
more than he.

FALLS THROUGH.
WiImot and Glow Match Will Not
Be Played.

1t will be matter OF general surprise
to the public to learn that the much =
advertised fve-night game between
Walter Wiimot and Charles Glow has
fallen through, and will not come Off.
This will he matter OF regret to many
who had hoped to see this interesting
contest. Though this is the case, let it
not for moment be supposed that Mr..
Foley intends to totally disappont his
patrons. He is too fertile in resources
to allow that, and he has arranged a
matter that will surely please all. To-
morrow night Henry Sampson and
Walter Wilmot will meet for the first
of a series of two games at Mr.. Foiey's.
On Friday and Saturday nights these
two well-knOwn amateurs will play to-
getlier at eight-inch balk line. 500
points, in blocks of $50 each evening.
If these games are anywhere near as
close as the one Tuesday night between
these two Of 800 points, also eight-inch
baik line. in which Sampson made his
800 to Wilmot's 292. the contest cannot
help but prove of absorbing interest.
