$4,000 of COmRnChe county bonds $50 pay
current expenses" An old directory Of
50. Joseph was made TO furnish che names
Of about two hundred and forty voters, and
their names were duly copied on the cleo
tion tally. sheets, etc. After the county
seat was located and laid out, the next step
was to create school districts and authorize
the issue Of bonds TO build sChoolhouses.
District No. / was located at che
county seat [SmsllWoodl, and bonds
for $500 [$2,2OO, see house journal,
1876, page 450 were issued TO build
house. The next step was TO map
out other school districts and issue bonds.
The papers for all these purposes, it SHOULD
be well known, were all on b I'D ready pre-
pared, blanks only being left to be filed
up with dates, names, etC. Dr.. @. asked
these Virbuous gentlemen where they ex-
peCted TO sell these school bonds-if they
thought any man who had money to invest
in bonds, would not also have information
enough TO know that there were no people
in the school district or county, and that
the whole thing was a sWindle and fraud
that ought TO oonsign its authors TO the PEN
itsntiary2 The reply was made by the Or
ganizers TO this effect: "There is just as good
market for fraudulent school bonds IN Topeka as
there Is for legal bonds. There Is only dtfer-
encc IN price,"
The plans Of the organizers were thus
perfected. DR.. @. and his party COM
pleted their buffalo hunt, and returned TO
their homes at Peabody. Mills made
flank movement on Topeka to manage the
finances Of the gang. Dunlap went back
TO the bosom Of his family and the quiet of
his farm in Doniphan county. MowFy made
forward movement on the legislature lin
1874 and got his little bill passed author
izing the issuing of $4,000 of ComanChe
county bonds. THE bonded indebtedness
Of said county appeared to be, in NoVem-
Der, 1874, as follows:
For building courthouse. S29, 600
For building bridges. s..................... 23OOO
For general expenses s.................... 10000
TOTAL. ,.................,........ 'StS,OVO
See house journal, 1875, page II.
Matters stood thus in the spring of 1874
when MoWry made a flying visit TO Com
anChe county. The two German families
who were there she year before had sban-
doned their dug-outs and returned TO BOur-
bon county. The only constituents he
found were coyotes and prairie dogs, etc.
Notwithstanding the organization
Of Oomsnche county as shown was q
mere bowling farce, Notwithstanding
there were no people in the county to
vote bonds, this Donlphan statesman
actually sold school bonds Of district

for $1750 and got the money for

committed the custody of public

Miners and Cokers Not Likely r. Com.
NIT Further DepredatIons


UsIoNTowN, Pa. April O. 6-.Unless there
Is change in the situation In the Pennsyl-
vania coke region today, the strike of the
miners and cokers is about broken. The
authorities have taken a stand, and are
Setermined 10 put down the rioters at
any cost now. This policy has thrown
the law breakers into state of demoral-
ization.
The community was startled by q re-
port yesterday afternoon that the dead
bodies OF eight Huns had been found in
the woods near Dawson. This report has
not yet been verified, and Coroner Baton
says that the reports he has received from
his deputies do not indicate the truth OF
the report.
Work at the coke plants yesterday was
confined to the same number running on
Wednesday. Very few attempts were
made by the strikers to drive the work
men out. Additional re-enforcements
were sent by Sheriff Wilhelm to Wander
bilt. where plants are working. and the
raving crowds were not permitted to
trespass beyond the public roads.
On the previous day Sheriff Wilhelm
made little attempt to keep the strikers
off the property OF the coke works, but
yesterday he said the strikers would not
be allowed to enter upon private pro perty,
but would be compelled to remain upon
the public roads.

Los ANGELES, Dec. l9.-When the
excitement over the Hawaiian situa-
ton was at its height several weeks
ago, movement was started 10 raise

President Dole outlining the plan and
stating that the men would leave for

The following autograph letter has
been received from President Dole by
the leader of the movement in this
city, and indicates the feeling OF the
Provisional Government of Hawaii:
DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN !

"SIR: 1 have the honor to acknowI-
edge the receipt of your letter Of Nov.
18th, which has been carefully con-
sidered by myself and colleagues.
Your assurances that this Government
has the moral support, and can have
at any time the physical support of
the people Of America in maintaining
itself are encouraging in the greatest
degree. With the present forces, how
ever, we feel that we can successfully
meet and overcome any attempt OF
the people here to restore the mon
archy, and, under the circumstances,
would not be justified in seeking phys
zeal assistance from without.
"Your suggestions and ingenious
proposition in regard to the manner
in which q force of men men might he
brought here are none the less appre-
eiated, and to you and the many sup
porters OF our cause, tender the sim
eerest thanks Of this Government.
