Lay Out Some Business.
SPErNGFIELD, June 27.-The Repub.i.
cans Of the senate met In caucus and re.
ceived the report OF committee appointed
to investigate the subject of the states
finances. The report was a divided
ono. Harding hal prepared a statement
which showed that the deficit would
amount to $50 800. Dunlap had state
ment which estimated a surplus instead
deficit, based on the idea that the in
heritance tax and corporation fees would
show T. big increase. The caucus decided to
accept these figures. Howell left the
caucus, declaring that a deficit existed
and it was child's play to attempt to es-
cape il. The caucus decided to favor the
investigation of the state treasury during
the Democratic administration. Neither
house did any business.
a joint caucus Of the Republican sena-
tors and representatives was held in the
afternoon. Berry offered resolution
that the caucus proceed at once to decide
what portion, IL any, Of the governors
proclamation be considered this special
session. A motion that n joint commit
tee be appointed TO report to an ad-
journed meeting Of the caucus on the
subject Of tax levy, was adopted.
The governor has vetoed the senate bill
looking to the promotion Of the construc-
tion Of a waterway, the idea being the con-

DESTRUCTIVE STORM IN ILLINOIS.
Young Girl Killed and Crops Laid Low
Perilou, Trip OF u Dog.


QUINCY, June 27.-The storm here was
the worst for years. Telegraph and tele-
phone wires were all down for a time, and
the electric railway service was stopped
by trees falling on the trolley wires AT
LaGrange, Versailles. and other tributary
towns houses were blown down and roofs
torn from buildings. Lucy Mutt, the H.
year. old daughter Of Justice James Mutt,
was struck by lightning and instantly
killed.
Lightning struck the carpenter shop of
Henry knuff in Quincy and burned it
down, together with Fix barns. One
horse and 400 chickens Were cooked In

had Il pointer dog i'll Il kennel. The wind
lifted it 20J feet in the air and carried it
over mile. The dogs howls and cries
could be plainly heard as the kennel flew

tho Current Month.
WASHINGTON, June 27.-For the first
time in many months the treasury re-
ccipts for the current month will exceed
the Expenditures. The treasury balance
sheets for the month show surplus In
stead OF deficit, and as the expenditures
are usually light towards the end Of the
month 1t is regarded rs certain that the
surplus will continue to grow from now
until July !.
The treasury is SAG. 623 gil behind in the
matter OF receipts and expenditures for
the currcn: fiscal year, and in the inter
vening days between now and July l it
Is unlikely that more than million and
half of this deficiency will be made up,
SO that the years balance sheets probably
will show that the expenditures for the

SAN FRANCISCO, j June IA sensational
statement is published here to the effect
that the late Senator James e. Fair Sc
duced young dressmaker named Miss
Mckenna by going through n mock mar.
riage with her in 1892, and that two child
rem are the result. Mrs. Lobo, who was
instrnctins Miss McKenna at the time,
was friend OF Fair. and makes tho toll
lowing statement: "The marriage took
place in 1s9. in my house, 1869 Broadway
street, Oakland, and l witnessed the cer-
emony. Senator Fair brought a man to
mony, introducing him as Judge Cros-
hy, but doubt very much now whether
1t really was that gentleman.
Had False License Also.
"Thc senator prod uced license and
read it over. Apparently it was all right.
Then Miss Mckenna and the senator
signed 1t. She wanted to keep the paper,
but he objected and insisted on putting
1t in his pocket and taking it away with
him. They were very fond of one another
and was pleased, thinking it real love
match. He thought everything Of her,
and did up to the last-until his death.
think she was the love of his life. She
thought everything Of him, too poor girl,
and it broke her heart when she found he
had deceived her and tina. the marriage
was only mock one. She was a good
and virtuous girl, and when the senator
found she would not 20 with him except
rs his bride he trapped her into an illegal
marriage. He told me 80 when the
second child was born.
Trusted the Senator'S Judgment.
For a time after they were marie d
they remained here, but soon left for
Virginia City. The senator did not stay
with her all the time. He was back ard
forth. He was not there when the first
child was born, but the girls mother
was. The mother did not ascertain, and
does not know today who the father of
her daughters children really is. In
Virginia City Miss McKenna went by the
name of Mrs. Murry She knew there
acknowledging her rs his wife, but
she trusted to his Judgment, thinking
everything would some day be all right.
Things went on in n quiet way, and she
remained in Virginia City until a year
ago last spring when she came down to

Confessed to His deception.
"Shortly after her arrival the second
child was born, and was with her at the
time. The child's birth was registered
under the name of Murry. demonstrated
at this, telling the senator he should have
the child properly registered. Then he
very decidedly and coldly told me that his
marriage with Miss McKenna was a mock
one, and that he would never ack nowledge
her as his wife. He did not hesitate to
acknowledge the children were his:pri.

Dishonesty.

Honesty may come by CONVEX
sion, but it's safer when bred into
people and taught from childhood.
Dishonesty is as hard for some
people as honesty is for others.
The competitive, get-there, devil
ake-the-hindarmost system, under
which the world is working, breeds
dishonesty.
Extreme booms and exceedingly
prosperous times breeds dishon-
esty; though not in the proportion
that financial famines and hard
times do.
The wise man Of old knew
whereof he spoke when he prayed
for neither poverty nor riches.
We hear much Of the dishonesty
Of public officials. Such dishon-
esty differs only in degree from
that Of private citizens. In fact
dishonesty among individuals is
the more dangerous as being the
Foundation Of public dishonesty.
There ! many degrees Of hon
esty il private life. Many 9 man,
who Wonl shrink from the taking
