factured, and thought he could smell
q distillery as far off as anybody. He
became convinced that there was q
still in Marshall County and began an
investigation of his own. He traced
the smell down to farm three miles
east of Bremen. Here he approached
the house, climbed up on a fence and
looked over curtain into the room,
where the farmer was busy at work
making whisky. There was full out
fit, worm and all. The Investigator
reported to the revenue officers,
who seized the plant, which
was found to be on the farm

he found. an outlet for his whisky
through some saloons in the neighbor-
hood. Considerable excitement has
been caused in Marshall County on

Topeka special: Mrs. Mary E. Lease
won her case in the Supreme Court,
thn6 body deciding that the Governor
cann0t remove her as a member of the
State Board of Charities.
The Court was unanimous, the Popu-

the Governor had no right to remove
Mrs. Lease or appoint successor, as
she was appointed for year and con-
firmed by the Senate: unless charges
are preferred and sustained, and that
Freeborn, who has been acting as her
successor, is q usurper.
S Mrs. Lease says she intends to re.
sign, as the salary is no object, but she
learns that the Governor has q plan to
charge her with bribery in letting
contracts for supplies to state institu-
tions. These, she says, are false and
she proposes to remain in Office and

Worse Than at First lseported.

The failure of the Hand County
Bank, at Miller, is believed to be
worse than at first reported. Parties
from Miller say the liabilities will be
$25, 600 and less than half that amount
Of assets. There was, till recently,
about $4,000 of county funds in The
bdHk, but Treasurer Roskrans with.
drew S5, 600 just before the bank sus-
pended. It is said that the balance
wits removed some time before and de-
p0sited in another bank, the treasurer
and his bondsmen becoming suspicious
OF the solvency of the Hand County In:
stttution. Whether this Is true is not
known, however.

Childs sleeps Side by side With His
Life Long Friend.
Philadelphia special: The remains
Of George w. Childs were laid to rest
In the Drexel Mausolem, Woodland
Cemetery. beside those of his closest
friend, A. :. Drexel, who died q few
months ago. Funeral services were
held In st. James Episcopal Church, of
which the deceased was vestryman
many years. This public service was
subsequent to q brief private service
at the residence. At the conclusion
Of this service the friends present were
allowed to look at the face Of the de-
parted philsnthropist. Then the
casket was borne to the church, where
the services we're conducted by Bishop
Potter ofNew York, Bishop Whitaker
OF Philadelphia, Rev. j. 81. Blancher,
rector Of st. James Church of Our
Savior Of which the deceasee was q
member.
The black cloth casket was literally
covered with pillows and wreaths of
roses, lilies of the valley, and other
flowers. Such q display Of flowers has
probably never been seen at q funeral
In Philadelphia.
II st. James Church had been three
times as large it could not accommo-
date the large crowd of people who
sought admission. While Rev. DIR.
Bodine was reading the creed, Mrs.
Childs, who had borne up nobly thus
far, was noticed to droop over on the
shoulder of j. w. Paul, jr. Quickly
kind friends gathered around her to
find that she had tainted. Restoratives
were instantly applied and in q few
minutes she was restored to conscious
ness, and afterwards was able to follow
her husbands remains to the tomb.
The services at the cemetery were
private and very brief. There was
prayer, and the casket was placed in
the crypt prepared for it. MIR. Paul
cast upon the coffin the symbolical
handful Of earth and the mortal re-
mains of George w. Childs had been
unsigned to the tomb.

,pensible necessity not only to the

though much of Its work is accom.

than through any other channels" Mr..
Thornby was assured that the board

enlargement possible and would ex-
pcct the work in which the school is
engaged to be carried on as efficiently

"Much Misrepresentation has existed
in the minds OF the public as to the
srue status of the School of Mines, and
It has been thought that its usefulness
should be measured only by the num-
ber of students in attendance. The
lact Is, however, that the school occu-
pies q dual position, its aim being first,
, school pure and simple to educate
snd instruct its students in special
technical work, such as chemistry,
geology, metallurgy, mining, engineer
ing and the allied studies; and second
", as an experimental station to assist
N developing the vast mineral resour-
ces of the state. It has in the past
added millions to the taxable inyest-
nents OF the Black Hills by aiding the
discovery and development of new pro-
eesses for treating refractory gold ores,
snd by bringing to the notice of the
public and investors valuable deposits
of fire clays, cement and building ma
serfals. 1t is equipped with q very
valuable and complete working labra-
tory, and by its aid we confidently ex-
poet to greatly extend our usefulness
alike In the line of experiment. and re-.
search and that educatiOn."

Brother Jonathan.
San Francisco special: If the story
told by John F. Ryan, submarine
diver, is true the i'll starred steamer
Brother Jonathan has at last been
found, after being almost thirty years
at the bottom OF the sea. The Brother
Jonathan was lost July 3, 1855, about
ten miles northwest of Crescent City,
with 147 passengers and the crew.
There was $1,000, 900 in treasure on
board, and dozen parties have since
systematically searched for the sunken
hull. Ryan tells the following
story Of his discovery of the
wreck, which is substantiated by
ships bracket bearing the name
"Brother Jonathan in brass letters,
which he picked up on the deck of the
wreck:
.'several years ago while was cap
tain OF steamer running on Puget
Sound an old man named G. w. Hill
told me he could take me to the scene
OF the wreck and said he was sure he
could locate the exact spot where she
went down. A few months ago he
came to me and again accepted his
offer. After arriving in the vicinity
where the ship went down we located
her in remarkably short time in sew
eral hundred feet of water. Invent
down to the vessel, walked across her
deck and all around her. There was
not light enough for me to see all, and
! had to feel my way everywhere. APP
parently the Brother Jonathan is in
excellent condition and I have hopes
Of raising her. From what learn the
gold in the ship is locked up in diff
ferent part of the vessel, and with the
aid of light anticipate no difficulty
in locating it. In the spring 1 shall
make preparations and recover the
loet treasure"

IN self-defense.
Falcini had brother who ct the

to avenge the death Of his brother, and
as true went on he began to lay plans
to put an end to Ciampaniella's life.

issued to and almost everybody in the
village, which has only 500 inhab-

feast.
Early in the morning Falcini
avenged his brothers death. He
treacherouslys cut the throat of the ex-
pectant bridegroom and then placed
the corpse in the nuptial bed that had
been already prepared. Falcini sur
rendered to the police acknowledging
his crime without the slightest trace
of remorse.

fate Of her intended husband and some
OF her friends took her to the room in

on the nuptial couch her grief was

her reason. tt
Falcini's sister and brother-in-law

that they instigated Falcini to commit
the murder when he did.
The town was Mortified when the
