"Ths detailed statement OF expendi-
lures Of the institution for the month of
July, filed August 6, 1884, amounts to
15,93317; the statement Of cash re-
ceived by the institution for sales Of
coal, etc., showed the sum OF &10662.07,
leaving an amount due from the state
OF $5,271.10 Warden Jones had csshed
directors vouchers amounting to $6930,
making total amount dua from the
state Of $5,34040. Both Of these state
ments were sworn to by the warden and
approved by the board Of directors as
correct, according to law. On August s,
1884, Pusey was sent by the warden to
make this settlement. Previous to start
ing from the penitentiary, he told War
den Jones that the amount due from the
state was $4,340 40--iust $1,000 less
than the actual amount Rs shown by the
detailed statement and by the books OF
the chief clerk. Mr.. Pnsey went TO To-
peks, drew the full amount due from
the state, procured a Certi fed deposit
for "a, ,S4040, which, on his return to the
penitentisry, he turned over to Warden
Jones, sppropriating the balance Of
81, 900 TO his own usSs
"On the 23rd OF August, the warden
again sent Mr.. Pussy to Topeka to make
settlement on the wsterworks vouchers.
This settlement was made on state
ment properly sworn to by the warden
and approved by the directors, showing
an amount due from the state Of o.,

the warden that the amount due from
the state was 84,3255S. He came to To,
psks, made settlement with the auditor,
drew $4,525.59 from the treasury, and
returning, turned over s4,S25,5S-S2OO
less than the amount drawn.
'The warden's detailed statement OF
expenditures for the month Of August
shows an indebtedness Of Sl9, ,378,55.

due the penitentiary OF S1,084.85. To
this was added directors vouchers,

$4l90, making q total Of Sl,1l6.65. Mr..
Pussy was again detailed to make settle

for Topeka, informed the warden the
amount due was Sl26.65. The state rec
ords show that he drew 81, ,12665 but, on
his return to the penitentisry he turned
over TO Warden Jones only the amount
Of s12665, thereby poCkstinR the sum OF
$1,000"
There is an error in the above figures
as will readily be discovered. The diff
ference between s13,37855 and sl2, 70
is S98485 and not Sl,08485 ss above
given. There must have been some bad

Coxev and Browne.

The army of the commOnweal entered
Washington from their camp about 900
strong, led by Coxey, wife and babe in
carriage, Miss Coxey in white on white
horse, Browne in his buckskin suit, mounted,
Mrs. Digg5 in barouche, and other nota-
bles.
When the capitol grounds was rea ched 10,
600 people were assem- bIed. The parade was
prevented from entering by the strong force
of capitol and city police, many of them
N counted.
The army halted amid throng of people
and Coxey and Browne, on foot, made their
way through the the crowds 10 the capitol
steps, Coxey succeeding in reaching the tenth
step.
Here he attempted to address the people
but was, without much force required,
pushed away and out of the grounds. He
returned at once to his carriage.
Browne being more offensive and bellger-
ent was arrested together with one Jones,
and locked up.
The army them marched back to cam p
and the people dispersed.
Coxey soon returned to the office of the lis
trict commissioner to apply for license to
collect fee for admission to his camp.

They treated me with great consideration,
but they had to carry out the law, even II 1t
was an unjust one. My speech making,
however. at the capitol is over and | shall
not again attempt it. 1t would be no use.
The American eagle did good deal of
squealing, but that was to be expected. The
authorities pinched him rather hard. He'll

AT Des Moines.

Concerning the rumor from Des Moines
that the American Railway union contem-
plated ordering strike on the Rock Island
if that road did not furnish transportation
to Kelly and his men, Secretary hehper' OF
the union, said there was no foundation Tor
it. The union, he said, was organized to
protect the interests of the railway men and
would hardly take up the battles OF other
men. Mr.. Keliper said none of the officers
Of the union we're going to Des MONIES, and
that there had been no discussion with the
Des MONIES union on the subject OF a strike.
The denunciation by the laboring classes
Of the action Of the city authorities IN the
handling Of the industrial army, and the
continued growth Of sentiment favorable to
Kelly have kept the city officials in tur-
MOL. Mayor Hills stated that he would go
to the mmp with a police magistrate, de-
clare the army under arrest, try the men In
a bunch as Migrants an0 sentence them to
three days in Jail. Then he said he would
turn the papers over to the sheriff to serve
thus shifting the responsibility onto the
county Kelly said he would not walk out
Of town and said that he expected to have
train in a day. His army grew rapidly
during the day. Bands of men came IN
from all directions and 1875 reported for
ratons. More are coming all the time and
Kelly expects to lead 1000 to Chicago.
The city has kept its promise to furnish
but one days provisions. but the citizens
committee sent out six wagon loads and say
there is sufficient food promised to keep the
army week.
"A committee of railroad attorneys called
on the clerk Of the United States court and
arranged for arrests in case train is stolen.
The city council held an extra session to
consider the situation.

Knights and Labor Union,

Grand Master Workman Sovereign ar
rived in Des MONIES with the avowed inten-
ton of throwing the influence of the Knights
of Labor in an effort to secure train for
Kelly's army.
In an interview with an Associated Press
representative. Mr.. Sovereign said that his
action was determined upon at meeting of
his executive board, held in Chicago, and as
serted that his organization would see to it
that the industrials secured a train even
though every railroad in Iowa should be
tied up.
"What will you do if you are refused a
train?" was asked of Sovereign.
Il can only repeat" he replied, 'that
Kelly shall not walk out. The army shall
ride though every road in Iowa be tied Up.
l do not say that the knights of Labor
could take such action of itself but with
the American Railway union such a move
would be successful. When. l left Pres
ident Debs in St. Paul, his last words
we're. that anything we did his people would
stand by and l made a similar proposition.

Dilatorlness of the Senate.

New YORK. May 5.-A mass meeting was
he'd in Cooper Union to protest against the
dilatoriness of the senate in passing upon
the Wilson bill.
There was much disorder everytime the
income tax feature of the bill arose IN the
discussion; the meeting was apparently
nearly equally divided on this question.
The meeting had been called by repre-
sentatives of forty-two business houses OF
this city.
Resolutions in substance as follows were
passed: ..
THAT we should prefer more consistent
and courageous measure of tariff reform
than is now pending. but we urge that II oe
passed to a final vote so we may be renewed
from the extortions and expressions OF the
Mckinley tariff.
THAT while we are opposed to the income
tax provisions, we are more opposed TO the
existing system of the tariff taxation when
casts on the working classes nine-tenths OF
the burden of taxation and an enormous
tribute for the benefit of the few
THAT we desire the income tax clause TO
be stricken out. We deem their action no
excuse for the vote of any democrat against
the bill as a whole and demand that every
democratic senator and representative vote
for the repeal of the Mckinley laws.
THAT the defeat of the bill by demo-
cratic votes would be disaster TO the nation
and an act of treason to the democratic
party"

KaIlN Offered $500

1t was evident at Des Moines that game
of freeze out is to be played between Kelly's
army and the authorities of Des Moines,
with the chances seemingly against the army.
The chances to seize train or charter one
at reduced rates are daily decreasing and if
seems probable that the army will ultimately
be compelled to take the standing offer of
the city TO transport its baggage by wagon
to Colfax, twenty-six miles east.
General Kelly enjoys the situation i'm
mensely.
He lectured before the students of Drake
university at the request of President Ayles-
worth, who is a Christian socialist of radical
type, and he is to lecture in the Grand opera
house at good prices of admission. Kelly
may 60 to Topeka, Kan, to lecture within a
day or two. He has received an offer of $500
for an address and dislkes to let ii pass.

Living Lanterns.

AWAY down in the dark depth OF
the ocean there are living lanterns
that are borne about TO light up the
darknyss A queer fish called the
..midshipmite" carries the brightest
and more striking of all these sea
torches. Along its back, under it,
and at the base of its fms there are
small disks that glow with a clear,
phosphorescent light like rows OF
Shining buttons on the young middys
uniform. In this way it gets Its
name midshipmite, by which young
sailors in the navy are often called.
These disks are exactly like small
bulls eye lanterns with regular lenses
and rehectors. The lenses gather
the rays and refectors throw them
out again. There is layer OF phos.
phoresent cells between the two, and
the entire effect is as perfect as If
made by some skilful optician.
Many other fish have ''refectors, =
many have '1enses," but the mid
shipmite is the only kind that has
such splendid specimens of both.
The fish is 50 constructed that when
1t is frightened by some devouring
sea monster it can close its lenses and
hide itself in the darkness. 1t can
turn its lantern off and on at will,
and then it is always ''dlled" and
ready when wanted.
Another marine animal has lum-
inous bulb that hangs from its chin
and thus throws the light before it
to warn it of the approach OF enc
mics. Still another upholds a big
light from the extremity of the dor
sal fin. Others again have constant
supplies of luminous oil that runs
down theirsdes from the fms, making
a bright and constant light all
around.
Most of the jelly fish are phospores-
cent These live far down on the
very floor of the ocean, where it is al
ways dark and gloomy. The dwell
ers IN these watery depths are pro-
vided with lights Of their own shin
ing bodies and fins, which illumine
their homes with strange, though
no doubt, cheerful, glare

Don't Want Them There.

A party representing organized labor in
Des Moines. headed by General Weaver,
waited upon Governor Jackson to get the
problem solved how to prevent the Kelly
army from disbanding in Des Moines.
Vice President Van Horn, of the trades
and labor assembly, followed with the state
ment that the labor organizations feared a
disarmament Of the army here and asked
that the men be hurried out of the state.
Their presence here would glut the labor
market, he said, and do great injury to Des
Moines.
NJ. H. King. a local labor leader, said
every effort to secure food had been ex-
hausted and the men turned to the governor
in their extremity.
There was no excitement attending the in
tervew and the governors assurances of
sympathy, not for Kelly, but for Iowa, met
with hearty applause.

Kansas Bonds in Demand.

TOPEKA, May 5. -Kansas has about $780,
600 of state bonds due in the next two or
three years. They are all held by New York
concerns and bear per cent. interest.
few days ago the state treasurer wrote
to the firms holding the bonds and asked
whether they wanted payment in cash when
the bonds fell due or would accept refund
ing bonds at low rate of interest in ex-
change.
Nearly all the replies indicate that the
holders are anxious to get new bones even if
they draw low rate of interest.
The Citizens Savings bank holds the larg-
est lot, $4,000, and they write that they do
not want a cash payment and would take re-
funding bonds at 4 per cent. in exchange.
The interest on Kansas state bonds has
never defaulted.

HARRoDsBURG, KY. May Sc. Peter
Springer, a Mexican war veteran and Coxey
enthusiast, with half dozen companions,
left here for Washington in a balloon to join
the common wealers. Springer took charts,
compasses and maps along with him to di-
rect his course. They took six days prov-
sions with them and will land as soon as the
balloon needs reflling, and take a fresh
start until the journey is finished. Springer
secured an experienced areonaut to pilot
them safely on their journey, and says he
will contribute $1,000 TO COxey on his arrival
in Washington. Springer is the same party
who contributed 500 to Miss Pollard during
the progress of her trial.
