Regarding the situat ton in the East,
Mr.. Dwyer said:
1.-THE Percy bill will become a law
after much dalliance and a few minor
amendments. 1t is a good law, and
will put racing on a higher plane than
has existed since the sport was intro
duced in this country There will be
no bookmakers, and though the alb
sence of those worthless will decrease
the revenue of the tracks to a consid-
cradle extent, it will help strengthen
the character of the sport. We will
be perfectly able now to keep our rae
ing clean and free from scandal, and
that alone will tend to keep up the at
tendance.
Without the bookmakers there will
be a certain amount of sentiment in
the racing, a thing 1 regret to state
that has been almost eliminated dur
ing the last few years. The members
of the jockey club will probably have
a clearing house, patterned more or
less after Tattersall's in England,
through which medium members and
their friends, and, in fact. any reputa-
BILE fellow may speculate on the races.

MCCOY UNDER ARREST.
Charged With Conspiracy to Rob
South Dakota.

PIERRE, S. D, Feb. 27-Charles F.
Mccoy has been arrested for con-
Spiracy to rob the state. This is the
latest development in the work of the
Taylor Investigating committee, and
it has thrown Pierre into a fever of
excitement. The testimony made by
Mccoy a week ago that Taylor was his
client and later by John E. Diamond
that on Jan. 8 Senator Pettigrew paid
Mccoy S. $50 on a note given a Chicago
bank on Taylor's Endorsement or
recommenda ton, strengthened the
prevailing suspicion that Mccoy was
closely connected with Taylor in his
scheme to loot the treasury of the
state. AS the committee secured more
and more evidence it became satisfied
that a conspiracy had been made, and
that the list of conspirators included
the names of Walter W. Taylor,
Charles T. Mccoy, of this state; John
T. McChesney, of New York; Daniel K.
Tenney and Charles H. Wells, of Chi
cago. Last night, shortly before u
o'clock, attachment papers were
served upon Mccoy, forbidding him
from disposing of any money, notes or
other valuable things which he might
have belonging to Taylor. This occa-
stoned no small sensation when it be
came known, but this morning, when
the rumor spread that Mccoy had
been arrested for conspiracy with Tay-
lor and others to defraud and cheat
the people of South Dakota, the sensa-
ton was complete. The arrest was
made by Sheriff Price on a warrant
sworn out by Attorney General Craw-
ford before Justice Yarnell, by whom
the warrant was issued Mccoy asked
until tomorrow at o'clock for a hear
ing, and he was remanded to the
custody of the sheriff. He is not in
Jail, but Attorney General Crawford
has emphasized to the sheriff the fact
that he is responsible for the safe
keeping of the defendant. Should Nc
Coy be held for indictment by the
grand jury the case will come up next
May.
The nonresident conspirators cannot
be reached in these proceedings, I'M
less they should come to this state,
which, however, they are not likely
to do. They will be reached on civil
suits.

BISMARCK, N. D., Feb. 27.-The
committee on supplies and eXpend-
tiures reported today. The report is
a, roast on the Populist administra-
ton from beginning to end, but spe-
cially in the matter of public print
ing. It claims an overmeasure-
ment in type of 2,096,0 ems, not to
speak of even larger volumes where
bills have not yet been examined
The overcharge on these anauntS
to 81, 131.SS, and results largely from
measuring BREWER tables with non
pareil box heads as nonpareil. The
state will lose nothing in this feat
ure, as settlement has not been made
with the printer. Special attention
is called TO the report Of the late
superintendent of public instruction.
1t contains Isl pages, containing the
entire report of the secretary of
university and school lands, large
portions of the reports of the normal
schools, state university and agri-
cultural colleges, copies of all cir
culars, pamphlets, etc, issued dur
ing his term. The composition on
the three first documents, which
have been printed in separate vol
umes, amounts to 1, 455, 220 ems. They
have been lifted and paid for twice.
The republication of pamphlets and
circulars adds about IT'S, 900 to the
volume and about 500 to the price.
Of +11A fSC-i fNT0l of
insurance cost 81, 900 copies
at 81. 81 each. The attorney generals
report contains 131 pages of letters
and opinions, much of no value and
some mere details.
The committee charges that much
of the matter is distorted into dou-
ble-pTiced matter; that the number
of reports printed is excessive; that
the commissioners should be given
power to eliminate excess matter
from reports. In one report there are
over one hundred pages of census
tables accessible in United States re-
ports apparently inserted to pad the
book. The outgoing officers over
stocked almost every office with
printing, much of it inferior in quail
ity, for which an excessive price
was paid.
They report the books of the old
auditor and treasurer unbalanced,
vouchers missing from the auditors
Office, and a generally demoralized
condition of affairs. They roast DR..
Richter and the character of his
work as a sinecure. He was paid, it
is claimed, upon vouchers not prop
erly approved by the governor. The
concluding paragraph is a roast on
the late treasurer, who left his books
unpOsted and unbalanced, and who
also seems to be in line with the
Office methods of the late administra-
ton

ment of the captain of one of the op-

nesses, which affidavit, however, must
be forwarded to the secretary of the
league within twenty-four hours OF
the offense. -

sion today, said that it had not been.
He acknowledged, however, having re-
ceived a petition bearing thousands of
signatures asking for Pfeffer's rein

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Feb. 27.-Col.
K. D. Chandler, of this city, is trying
to get an interview with John L.
Sullivan, with a view to inducing him
to see him, so Chandler addressed
this note to the ex-champion:
Il am deputy grand worthy patri-
arch of the Sons of Temperance for the
state of Florida, and also state lect-
urer. I need an assistant in my work.
Now, my dear sir, if you will be kind
enough to name the place and time for

induce you to join one of our tenn
perance divisions in this place, L will
be ready to contract with you to travel
with me, lecturing in the temperance
cause
There are thousands of respectable
people in the country who would be
glad of an opportunity to see Sulli-
van" said the colonel, who are prac-
tically debarred now by the char
acter of the audiences that they know
go to see Sullivan in his semi-vaude-
vile, semi-boxing shows. Just throw
over him the temperance mantle, a
mantle of responsibility, and you at
once sift out the tough sport and the
hoodlum, and make it possible for Ia
dies to see him.

more than forty-nine years old. At
army as a drummr boy, and after
the war came to st. Paul to live. For
several years Mr.. Thompson was in
business on Jackson street, and dur
ing the real estate boom made lot
of money in dealing in dirt.
Late in the season Of 1884
the stockholders of the st. Paul
Base Ball club installed Mr..
Thompson as manager, the organ
ization then being a member of the
old twelve-club Northwestern league.
Mr.. Thompson purchased of John S.
Barnes in 1887 an interest in the st.
Paul club of the Western associa-
ton, and a little later they took in
as third partner Aaron Poupeney.
They made a, lot of money for time,
but about 1889 Mr.. Barnes disposed
Of his interest to Michael j. Roche
and went West. After Mr.. Barnes
departure Mr.. Thompson was for
time manager of the club, but it lost
pretty constantly, and bankrupted its
owners. AIR Thompson lost all of his
property and was obliged to accept
a small position at a small salary
with the st. Paul Athletic club.
When that organization went to
pieces Mr.. Thompson moved with his
family to Illinois, where he resided
to the time Of his death.

A HEH BISGOF RY BY The Shakers.

For more than a hundred years the
Mount Lebanon Shakers have studied
the cultivation of medicinal plants and
sought to extract from them their heal
ing essences. Their labor has not been
spent in vain. They have made a dis
covery that will prove a blessing to
mankind. 1t consists of a cordial that
causes immediate relief in cases of in
digestion. The Importance of this dis
covery viii be apparent when we real
ize that nearly nine-tenths of all our
sufferings are caused by dyspepsia or
indigestion. Nearly every person you
meet has this digestive trouble in some
of its varied forms-sick headache, dis
tress after eating, pain and fullness in
the chest after eating, palpitation of
the heart, etc, are but symptoms of
indigestion. To relieve these suffer-
ings has been the study of the Shakers,
and they have succeeded. The reason
the Shaker Digestive Cordial has such
an immediate and salutary effect is
that it causes the food eaten to be di-
gested, for it is undigested food that
causes the distress. The Cordial causes
the food to be digested before there is
time for it to ferment and sour on the
stomach. When the food is so digest
ed it gives strength and vigor to the
feeble body, makes one feel bright and
cheerful and makes one gain in flesh.
The Digestive Cordial is so prompt
in it's action that the very first dose
will have a perceptibly favorable re-
suit. 1t gives immediate relief.
In order to prove this statement
small trial bottles have been placed in
the druggists hands, which can be OBJ
tanned for ten cents each. This trial
bottle will have a decidedly beneficial
effect and will satisfy any one that the
Cordial is adapted to his case. After a
trial give praise to the Shakers of
Mount Lebanon, n. Y.

ECHO OF THE CONTEST.
When the report Of the committee on
legislative expenses was under con-
sideration, the allowance of $155 to Mr..
Probstfield for election contest ex-
penses was debated by a number of
senators. Senator McHale moved to
increase the allowance to $3.50. Sena-
tors Yale and Young took the position
that a contestant should be allowed
nothing. Senator McHale made a
strong speech in favor of the increased
allowance, and alluded to the faithful
e D,.olO-+EO1I 10.
in past years. Senator Pottgieser
spoke in support Of the increase. Sen
ator Wyman opposed.
Senator Keller said it was easy to
get a GOO appropriation through, but
when a farmer wanted a small sum
he was taken across the creek to
pound it into him. He alluded to Mr.
Dunn having been allowed over $500
in a contest in a former session. The
senate was spending 500 in talking
over the matter.
Senator Culkin spoke in opposition
to changing the recommendation of
the committee.
Senator Sperry, like Senator Young,
argued that the contest had never been
properly before the senate and OPP
posed increasing the allowance.
Senator Stevens said that the con-
testant represents a party in which he
has no confidence and he deemed it
fortunate that he had not been given
a seat, but was in favor of allowing
the increase. Further debate was
shut off by the previous question be-
ing demanded. The amendment OF
Senator McHale was lost and $155 was
allowed. The recommendation to al
low Senator Smith $277.60 was approved,
as were also recommendations to in
definitely postpone resolutions to ap-
point additional committee clerks.
A message from Gov. Clough an
