ANDERSON. Ind, Oct. 26.-Major f. b.
Carter, of the secret service, bagged a
counterfeiter in Jay county to-day and
lodged him behind the bars Of the Jail
here. The victim is Charles Sheppard. son of
DR.. G. W. Sheppard, a wealthy physician
of Redkey, Jay county. A complete outfit
was found in young Shephard's possession
for coming counterfeit silver halves and
dollars Of the issue of 1889. Many OF the
spurious coins are afioat in mis- city and
Elwood. Detective Carter said to the
Journal correspondent that he expected to
bag several others here tonight, and with
a deputy sheriff went to Perkinsville, ten
miles west of Anderson, for other members
of the gang. For some time past this sec
ton of the State has been flooded with
counterfeit money. and a United States
marshal has been working on the case. Of
fcers are searching for Fish Smith and
other young men said to be in the scheme.
A bag Of well-molded coin was captured
with two sets of molds at a farm house
two miles from Redkey. The woman of
the house said Sheppard and smith worked
all night on Friday of last week making
the money. but they made her believe it
that there are a half dozen o. more in the
gang. Sheppard is the son of highiy~re-
spected parents, but he has borne a bad

Yesterday was the regular time for the
award OF contracts by the board OF trustees
of the Central Hospital for the Insane for
the months supplies. The contract for but
terine went TO Kingan q Co. at 10 cents a
pound, although the Indiana Butter Com
pany declares that it offered the same
grade of goods of Chicago manufacture at
IA cents a pound. The latter company has
repeatedly put in bids, but the contract is
always let 10 the kingan company at a
higher price. The board is largely governed
by the steward, Mr.. Neidigh, who has been
with the hospital for a NUMBER OF years
ana knows the workings OF the hospital.
The only reason advanced for giving King
an the contract by him is that the factory
is close az land and the butterine can be
secured as needed on short notice ana in
quantities that are consumed before an
otaer supply IS caLed for. In this way, ne
says, the hospital can be kept supplied witt
fresher butterIne. Mr.. Osterman, one OF
the board, says the trustees AXE price and
quality into consideration, and do not let
a small difference Ia price stand In the
way of doing what they think IS the best
for the institution. All the other contracts
were let to the lowest DiQQer.

SCARED BY SMALLPOX
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES AT WASH
NGTON BADLY FRIGHTENED.
Interior Department Closed on Ac-
ker, of Indiana. a Victim,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-The Interior
Department was closed to-day on account
OF the smallpox scare. When it was an
nounced that James j. Parker, of Indiana.
a law clerk in the division where the other
cases were reported, was a victim of the
disease. there was a panic among the en-
ployes. The fright of the clerks was in
creased by the fact that Messenger Owens
has a bad case of the plague. Owens is the
messenger to the chief clerk and it was
part of his duty to distribute document to
the several bureaus of the department. In
this way he came into contact with about
every branch of the service under Secre-
tary Hoke Smith and may have been the
cause of a spread of the disease. DR.. Wood
ward, the health officer of tbs District, made
an urgent appeal to Secretary Smith TO
close the entire Interior Department in
the interest of public health and in accord
this afternoon closing every bureau of the
department. The employees will have a hoh-
day until Monday. Those who have been
particularly exposed to infection by con-
tact with the people OIL the afflicted law di-
vision have been granted leave for twelve
days. The department Will be opened Mon
day, but no clerk will be admitted who
has net been vaccinated and, meanwhile.
the building will be fumlSated. This applies
to the Secretary's office, Census Office,
ianeous division. railroad division and IN
dian affairs division. all Of which are lin
the main Interior Department building.
The Indian Bureau, Geological Survey and
Pension Office are located in other buildings
and possibly will remain open.
Law Clerk Parker's home is at Indian
apolis. He is about thirty live years of age
and has a wife and three children. His
residence is ~ No. .1410 Fourth street. He
has been removed to the pesthouse and his
family is under strict quarantine. 1t is as
sumed that the family. too. will be stricken
with the disease. There is every reason TO
hope that in no case will the disease have
a fatal issue.

men entombed in the Pewabic mine, but
they have not yet been reached. 1t is
known, however, that some of the miners
are alive. but who and how many will not
be known until morning. Communication

their release will not be effected for six

Is certain that at least eight of the men
have escaped uninjured. The others may
have been caught under the falling tim

Around the shaft are gathers large crowds
OF relatives. including the wives of the i'm
prisoned miners, and the uncertainty of the
fate OF loved ones makes the scene a par

sons speech was confined almost exclu-
sively to a review of the work of the DEM
ocrats in the last Congress He attacked
bitterly the principles of McKinleyism and
characterized the work of the Democrats
in Congress- as "a struggle of the people
against monopoly and greed, fostered and
made powerful by more than thirty years
OF Republican legislation" He did not dis
cuss State issues in any respect and his only
reference TO Senator Hill was in his con-
GLIDING words: again the lines OF battle
are drawing, the issues clearly presented.
All eyes are turned to the Democracy of

ment OF the assistant district attorney at
Kansas City that there was no law by
which election frauds could be punished in
United States courts. said that. without
speaking as authoritatively as he would on
a careful examination OF the statutes, he
was of the opinion that the Kansas City
attorney was correct. BY the act passed
by Congress last February repeating the
federal election law Congress had done
away with all election paraphernalia so far
as the United States courts were concerned,
and had taken away their jurisdiction. At
the same time there was no doubt in his
mind but the laws were In existence by
virtue OF which election frauds, whether Of
registration or of voting, could be punished
