The los to Stewart on his Garner

mental aud stupendus advertisement
which cald forth from every garter
of the cuntry volumes of trade.
This was Jimmy Morgan's idea too,
and it is one of the corner stones of
the Rouss System, to keep Yor eye

Our Representative everywher ar

40 cents in the Dollar. on the 200

1T is CAUSING ALARM.
Steady Decrease in the Nations
Gold Reserve.
Already the Available Money Has
Sunk Below Eighty Million
Dollars.

WASHINGTON. May 27.-The present
depleted condition of the treasury, and
the discouragiAg outlook for the future are
a source of considerable anxiety to the
officials of the Treasury Department. Al
ready the gold reserve. which had been
brought up by the last bond issue TO S107,-
39O. 642, has been reduced by exports since
March 10 to less than $4,000, 600. with no
indications that the foreign demand will
cease until it has reached much lower
point. The gold reserve. counting every
available dollar in the vaults in the treas
ury to-day, is less than S8O.OOO,0OO Nor
does the f1.ure show any signs of encour-
agement.
On the contrary, the proba bility is that
the deficit of $4,000, 600 for the month of
May is likely TO be increased by SIS, ,O00 900
during the two succeeding months. The
closest calculation now made shows
that the deficit for the fiscal year ending
June 80 will be approximately S74, 500, ,OOO.
Close estimates place the receipts for May
at so, 500, coo. and the disbursements at
S2S, 100000. For June the receipts are
likely to be about S24. 100000. with the ex-
penditures S26.O0O,OOO making the total
receipts for the fiscal year S291, 500, 749, and
the disbursements $3.50. 757, ,197.
Whiles it is confidently believed the
receipts for July will increase somewhat,
yet it is much more certain the disburse-
ments will Increase. a conservative esti-
mate of the deficit for July is So, OOO, 600,
this increase being accounted for by
the payment of many obligations, includ-
ing about $7.5OO,OOO in interest that ma
tures at the beginning of the fiscal year.
During June the pensions payment will
amount to about SO. 5OO 600 and during
the future nearly S1l.750OOO. The full
amount of receipts and expenditures for
the present month and for the fiscal year
to date are as follows: Receipts for mont h
to date, $40, 459. .SSS; receipts for the fiscal
year till to-day, S266, 239, ,637; expenditures
for month 10 date. $26 271. 800; debenture
for fiscal year to date. 1887, 528. 1876.

GUARDING THE GOLD.
Cherokees Ready TO Resist All
Attempts at Robbery.
They Organize an Army and Will
Give the Horde of Sharpers
a tOt Reception.

TAHLEQUAH, l. T., May 27.-Beginning
Tomorrow, Treasurer E. Z. Starr of the
Cherokee nation Will commence the dis
bursement OF $4,000 to q. 300 Indians
per capita. This large amount is the pro-
ceeds of the sale Of the Cherokee strip to
the United States Government last year,
and will be the largest amount of money
ever paic out TO as few people in the United
States.
To say that serious trouble will attend
the distribution of this money is but to
foreshadow facts. The city is already
filed with strangers, many of whom are
known by this time to be sharpers and
gamblers who came here with the purpose
of teecing the Cheerokees to finish, and
they will take away with them more than
their share of the money. Tney will find,
however, before they leave that the Chero-
KEGS are not to be Duncoed, and if they are
not killed on suspicion they will leave the
nation poorer but wiser men.
To-day over 500 weIl-armed Cherokee
Indians met here and organ ized for busi-
ness, with Jesse Cockrane as their chief
comma nder. Besides nearly all citizens of
the Cherokee nation have provided them
selves with Winchesters and sixshooters,
and stand ready at moments warning to
hslp constitute an army of not less than
5000 should an attempt be made to rob
them Of the treasure.
The amount paid to each Cherokee will
be about $3.50, and then the heads of each
family will draw for ten and twelve chill
dren. Nearly all the surrounding States
and big cities like Kansas City and 81.
Louis will feel the effects of this payment,
and times will continue flush for the next
year al least.

The correspondent in Jundiahi sends
information to-day of an outrage perpe-
trated by the National Guard in tearing

Italian neighborhood that an uprising which

was only prevented through the efforts of
Consul Brichantoan of Sac Paulo. The
Governor of this place apologized for the

two men were killed and several injured.
The train was twenty-five minutes late al

make up lost time, was running his engine
to her limit-probably forty or foriy-fiyp
miles an hour. A hinge rock weighing
about fifty tons had fallen on the tracks.
Owing to the sharp curve the engineer

WOUNDING OF A WITNESS.
She Knew Too Much About a Dyna,
mite Plot.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 27.-Late last
night Polish woman named Mrs. Eliza
beth Janicki was found wandering in the
streets in the southern part of the CITY suf-
fering from bad wound in the head. She
said that she had been assaulted by man.
but she could give no particulars of the
assault. She has not yet recovered con.
sciousness.
: Rev. A. F. Koloassefs, the deposed pas
tor of st. Stanislaus Catholic Church
makes a startling charge in connection
with the assault. He declares the woman
is principal witness In possession of in
formation in a plot to blow him up with
dynamite. After his deposition the Rev.
Koloassefs went to Syracuse. New York.
and he declares Korcinski followed him
and, with a crucifx in his hand, confessed
that he was TO blow him up. A short
time thereafter Polish printing Office in
this city was destroyed by fire. In the
ruins of the building the dead body of
KorciDski was found with a knife wound
in the abdomen. He says Korcinski was
murdered and his body burned to conceal
the crime by persons who know Of his
confession, and an attempt has been made
to put Mrs. Janicki out of the way, be-
cause of her knowledge in the plot The
other faction of the St Stanislaus congre-
CATION laugh at the priests story, but the
police are investigating the assault.

DEATH OF A MATADOR.
Horribly GOred While Fighting
an Enraged Bull.
Fifteen Horses Were Also MutiIated.
but the Spectators Were Not
Satisfied.

LONDON. May PA dispatch to the
Times from Madrid says that there was
sickening spectacle in the bullpen there
this afternoon. Al ESparto, well-known
matador, while engaging the first bull sent
into the ring was caught by one of the
horns of the animal and his abdomen was
ripped open. He died five minutes later
The Standards correspondent At Madrid
sends further details of the killing OF
Espart0. The bull had killed four horses,
and he became extremely fierce when the
banderllos fixed their darts in his neck
Sixteen thousand persons were watching
the fight and the excitement was intense.
The bull was almost in the center of the
arena paving the ground and tossing its
head. His eyes cleaned with wicked
lights as Esparto approached him with
his usual daring, which brought forth
plaudits from the spectators. AS he got
near the infuriaied bull he made a rush for
him and kicked him down. He was not
apparently hurt. for he sprang nimbly to
his feet ana again attacked the animal
which had wheeled about, preparatory to
making another charge upon his enemy
There was a moment of suspense and then
with lowered head the bull rushed at the
matadoT, who sprang TO one side and
plunged his dagger into the neck of the
animal. Just as he did the bull swung his
head In the direction Of Espartro at the
same time lifting it.
One Of the animals horns caught the
unfortunate man in the abdomen and tore
his body almost up to his chest. Blood
poured from the CHASTITY wound in a tor
rent as EspartO sank faintng TO the
ground. He was at once carried to an in
firmary, where the physicians pronounced
his wounds fatal A priest was sum-
moned and administered extreme unction
to the dying man. In five minutes he was
dead. The spectators, at least the greater
portion, did not propose that their pleas
ure should be spoiled by the death Of a
man who had been we'll paid to assist in
making a holiday for them, and so the
fight was continued as soon as the excite
ment had somewhat subsidized.
All the bulls fought well, killing fifteen
horses and flooring two OF the toreadors,
who were severely bruised.
Esparto was engaged to marry and
the wedding was to have taken place
shortly. He was extremely popular and
had made large fortune. 1t was his in-
tention to retire from the ring next year.
