The Bonds Sold.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Secretary
Carlisle has decided to accept the
Stewart syndicate bid for the entire is-
sue Of the s5O,OOO,OOO bonds. The fig
ure offered by the syndicate was lit OFT
The following official statement was
made at the Treasury:
@The Secretary of Treasury has &C
cepted the proposal of John A. Stew
art, President of the United States
Trust Company, and his associates, to
purchase the entire issue of 5 per
cent bonds amounting to $4,000, 900
at S117,O77, and accrued interest from
November LIST. The proceeds of the
bonds under this bid will be S49,5l7.-
62 greater than they would be if the
other next highest we're accepted.
A very important advantage to the
government in accepting the bid is
the fact that all the gold will be fur
nlshed from the outside and none
drawn from the Treasury. 1t is also
more convenient and less expensive
to the Department to deal with one
party rather than with many"

No Postage Stamps Sold.

In Mexico when the mail arrives at
the postoffise the names of people to
whom letters are addressed are writ
ten on slip of paper and posted on a
bulletin board. Merchants go every
morning to examine this announce
ment, and if they find their names on
the list hand their cards to the de
livery clerk, who hands them their
mail. opostage stamps are sold,
but those having letters to mail take
them to the postmaster, who stick the
stamp on. In all public places men
are found sitting around provided
with pen, ink and paper, ready to con
duct the correspondence of any one
who has not the ability to do 30. The
number of these scribes proves that
their business is paying one.

citizen of Stanton, Was lynched
yesterday at Beattyvllle, LIE TO.

attend the fair and after drinking
a good deal of whlskey attacked
William Simms, the sheriff, against
whom he had a grudge. Both
drew pistols. Slmms was killed
and Morton was shot through the
neck.
The fact that only two weeks

and was out on $1,000 bond to an
pear next week at the Powell Cir
cult Colrt served to incense the
people. On the way to the fair he
had attempted to kill the fireman

A public meeting was held in
the square. Col. John Dfummond

The stealing of postage stamps
from the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing, which was discov-
cred last week, may result in a
big scandal. | is impossible at
this time 10 say how many have
been stolen. That will not be
known until all the postmasters
who have made acquisitions for
stamps since the first Of last july
have been heard from and their
accounts checked. Three men are
already implicated, two OF them

be something wrong aoolt the
method of flling pOstmasters re-
questions, as the stealing was done
by sending them asmaller number
than they ordered; also, from the
fact that the theft was discovered
through the thieves offering stamps
for sale at a big discount, and not
through the system OF checks IN
use at the Bureau OF E CRAVING
