YOUNG GUARDIAN CASE.

Mrs. Virginia Stuart Makes Some State
ments In Regard to It.
Mrs. Virginia Stuart writes The
JOURNAL in regard 70 the action for ap-
pointing guardian for her father and
mother, John A Young and Eliza n.
Young, did her an injustice in that all
the facts were not published. The re-
port, however, took such facts as were
presented in court Mrs Stuart writes:
The report placed myself and husband
Ia i very bad light before the public. I
wish It distinctly understood that neither
myself or Mr.. Stuart have in any way,
shape or form ever tried to defraud the
odd folks." While Mrs Young was not
under oath at any time. talked on inces-
sanity about some letter which she held
in her possession. Finally they we're
read aud there was nothing that / would
be ashamed TO have published. One was
a fair offer to buy her farm strictly in an
hOnora Die way, and only because she was
being cheated By dishonest tenants and
was unable to manage the farm prop
erly.
when Mr. Stuart was sworn, he was
not asked such questions as would have
set him in proper light efOre the pub
lie. He has only advised them for their
own good, and Mrs. Young is only angry
at me for trying TO save her home from
being literally gambled away, and as
stated before, she can make her viii and
leave me out, as she has always threat
ened to do both Of her daughters (She
don't ike women.)
- bout three years ago, when Mrs
Young's house burned down, Mr. Stuart
went out and brought them to our house
until they could be reinstated in one of
their own.
''Your reporter made several mistakes.
some of which are immaterial, but the
property that the old folks was said to
have worked hard for was left to her
by her father. Again Captain Waters is
no relation of our family"

WATTS CRAZY NIECE.
Un1oaded On the Belo1t Industrial
School For Girls,
as All ATTENDANT on A SALARY.

she Had to he Discharged Because
she fs Half vVitred and Wait VIII
Have to Take Care OF Her as Before
" S. Wait. the little man who walks
on crutches and wears bandage around
his head and who is treasurer Of the
state board Of charities, is one Of the
Populist reformers who believes in cul-
tivating the reformation in his own in
terest.
The Beloit Gazette publishes the fol-
lowing account Of how Mr.. Wait unload
ed \ crazy relative en- the state 1t good
salary
the Gazette Says "Some weeks since,
when there was no vacancy in the Indus
trial School for Girls, VT. Wait, treasurer
of the state board Of charities, who seems
to rule the balance of the members,
brought his niece. Miss Helen Parker, to
BeIOit. left her a. the school and put her
on the pay roll as a teacher. Miss Hahn
had work for her, aud It once discov-
cred that she was not lifted for q posi-
ton, being of unsOund mind. Miss Par
ker remained at the school for some
weeks. however. aud drew her pay RI
naliy she was bounce and came to the
city, where she remained month or 50,
convincing every one who SAW her that
she was of her base though not violent
or troublesome. Finally son or nephew
Of Mr.. Wait came over from Lincoln and
took her home"
sNow comes the explanation Miss
Parker is aged about IS years Since she
was eighteen years Of age she has been
troubled with the crazy spells, for they
are nothing else. She has been in
mate Of AIr. Waits home for i've years
past. And yet, under these conditions,
Mr.. " ait deliberately unlOdded her on
the state to draw a salary from its treas
ury.
sBut this is only on a par with his
course IN other matters Since last
spring he has not been home, but lives ct
a room, and eats food paid for by the
state, and is waited on by attendants who
draw thsir pay from the state treasury.
lit is these little steals and scandals
that are tiresOms to the people, and Will
cause revolution this fall"

one Of the highest ritual churches in tho
CITY.
The Rev. DR.. Lutz is the clergyman in
charge IN the absence or the rector.
Right in the midst Of the service the
choirmaster and the singers threw down
their hymnals and left the chancel 10 the
surprise Of the Congregation. A few
minutes later the clergyman. whose face
WAS red with anger. turned to the
congregation and explained that the
trouble was caused by his ferbidding
Albert Dashiels, chorlster, to sing be-
cause Of misbehsvior.
In defiance OF his orders Dashiels sang,
aud the clergyman ordered him to leave
the church. Thereupon the choir mas
ter and other singers left with him. DR..

GEORGE H. EVANS HOME.
A story That Has Started an investigation
by Attorney General LLttIe.

A Story That Has Started Investigation
by Attorney General Little.
Attorney General Little is looking up
the records il the state treAsurer's Office
to ascertain if there is sufficient evidence
TO warrant him in commencing criminal
action against some OF the officers of the
last Republican administration. OF
course it is pretty late in the day to be-
gin operations, but the Populists wouldn't
let that stand in the way. In the last
issue of the Parsons Independent, A q.
Stacey's paper, the following story was
printed, which is the basis of the investi-
cation being made by Attorney General
Little:
prior to the election four years ago,
Governor Humphrey, Secretary OF state
Higgins and Attorney General Kellogg
wal Aed the floor many nights in their en-
deavor to ward of an exposure that
might have cost the Republicans the
state. These gentlemen had discovered
a defalcation in the state treasurer's
office and it had to be fixed up and fixed
up quietly. The treasurer had used $IO,-
OUO of the state funds, not even placing
in the safe his I. O. z. Finally, Geo. ii.
Evans and Joseph Cox Game to the
rescue by p0rsuading Byron Roberts to
advance the $4,000. to be replaced in
the treasury on condition Of his appoint
ment to the vacancy to be filed by the
resignation OF Mr.. Hamilton, the treas
urer
freely, when Governor Humphre opened
up the matter again by appoiuting Major
Sims instead of Byron Roberts. The
latter demanded his money George IL
Evans, Joseph Cox and Alexander Love,
state house contractors, raised the money
on their notes and reimbursed Roberts.
There the transaction ended These men
have never been repaid. even though
Evans will lose his home because Of that
transaction"
A. q. Stacey is determined that the
POpulist managers shall 20 to the bottom
of this affair ard he was IN Topeka yes
terday for the purpose Of laying the mat
ter before the party managers.
He tried to get Chairman Breidenthal
to interest himself in the case, but Breid-
enthal would not even listen while the
story WAS repeated
Attorney General Little however took
enough interest in the case to start an
investigation.

smiling caller, Its an unfinished quat-

The caller rose up, grasped the scrap
of paper, crumpled it in his hand and
threw it fercely on the floor.

as he pulled up his coat collar, gave the
toiling scribe a stare of rneasureless
contempt and bolted angrily from the
