THEY THINK OF TAYLOR.
South DakOtans Asked to Account for
Some Bogus School Bonds.


Redneld, s. D., March 26.-The regis
trar of deeds here has received a letter
from attorney Rufus T. Peck Of Court
land, N w, asking If school bonds of
any individual school district are re-
quired to be registered and If so, were
$4,000 OF the bonds Of Capitola school
townshinp of Sphinx county registered
In 1894 or 1895. The bonds are dated
January 5, 1895, and are for $500 each
and nine in number. Inquiry develops
the fact hat no such school township
exists. The attorney claims that the
bonds were issued to refund one half
of original $4,000 bonds issued some
years ago by the same township. Fic-
titious names are signed for both the
clerk and the chairman Of the school
board and the bonds are certified to 10y
an unknown partyz under the name of
Inman. Much speculation IS INDUCED
in as to the xtent of the fraud and who
are the culprits mixed up in their man
ufacture and sale. Speculation ma
turally points to the defaultlng state
treasrer, Taylor, who disposed Of much
paper down east and mortgages and
bonds in and around Courtlan1, n. Y.

ONE MORE MYTH ExrLoDED.
JeiH Davis HOOpsklrt Now Hangs on the
Sour Apple Tree.


Sour Apple Tree.
Chattanooga, Tenn, March 26.-Gen-
eral Henry Harnden, theo fflcer of the
Union army who captured Jefferson
Davis, president Of the confedegaey, Is
in Chattanooga today with the Wiscon-
sin commission to locate the position of
the troops of that state in Chicka-
maugua National park.
1T Is not true" he said, that Presl-
dent Davis was in womans attire when
captured. 1t was cold morning about
day break when l arrested him. He
had q woman's shawl over his should
ers. The story about the hoop shirts
Is totally false. When l reached the
Davis camp the first man spoke to
was a Texas gentleman, now Senator
Raglan. President Davis was sitting
near by on log with a shawl over his
shoulders, as It was a cool morning."
How did the story get out that he
had on dresses and hoop sl1lrts?" asked
the reporter
When went to Macon and reported
to General Wilson, my superior Of
fcer he had the story telegraphed as
fast as l spoke and the woman's shawl
became exaggerated into female at
tire"

Omaha, Neb., March 25.-The clever

to unravel the mystery surrounding
the work of one of the most skillful
gangs of counterfeiters that has ever

Several bills of small denominations

experts in this line and clever with the

nary ink. A secret service agent said
toda: Another dangerous feature Of
the case, which cannot but be viewed
with alarm by bankers and treasury
officials, is the fact that chemicals are
being used by this gang to remove the

Kansas City, March 25.-The exact
amount Of insurance on the Reid Bros,
Packing company's plant destroyed BY

the property was insured for about
eighty or ninety per cent of its value in

Lloyds and the Indemnity Exchange

shimoneslSi, Japan, March 25.-An at
tempt was made yesterday by the
Japanese to assassinate Ii Hung
Chwang, the Chinese peace envoy. A
bullet from the assassin's revolver
struck Ii Hung Chwang in the check
It Is thought the wound will prove IA
tall The Japanese government has
sent message Of regret to Ii.
The bullet has not yet been extracted
from the face Of Ii Hung Chwang, but
his condition is favorable. He has no
fever and is suffering but little pain.
His assailant. who Is described as a
political bravo, rushed from the crowd
when the viceroys palaquin was pass
ing and fired at he Chinese statesman.
The bullet entered the viceroy's left
cheek. The affair has caused the
greatest indignation here.
Surgeons Sato and Ishimuro are at
tending Ii Hung Chang by imperial
command. Ii Hung Chang objects to
the extraction of the bullet which lies
centlmetre under his left eye. The
wound is three centimetres deep. He
sleeps well. The empress of Japan has
sent nurses to attend him. Letters and
kilograms expressing regret and SYM
patty, are pouring in from all direc-
lions.
Washington, March 5.-Information
coming to the Chinese legation is to the
effect that Ii Hung Changes wound is
not dangerous except as complications
may develope. 1t is in the fleshy part
Of the face, but fortunately no part of
the skull has been fractured or any
vital organ reached. Prince LIS ad-
vanced age and several constitutional
disorders which make him almost an
Invalid, may aggravate an otherwise
harmless wound. On his arrival at
Shimonoseki he was too sick to leave
the ship which brought him. He had
to be carried about, this being a neces-
sity in his case as well as an honor due
to his rank. officials of the Japanese
legation say the offender will be charg-
ed with treason as the assault Is not
only against the person of Iii Hung
Chang but also against the japanese
government. 1t Is probable also that
the trial will be by court martial and
conviction by court martial would
mean that the offender would be shot.
Diplomats here are inclined to APP
prehend that the entire peace negotia-
lions possibly may be broken off by the
assault, by affOrding a pretext for
European Intervention. Ii, himself,
will prevent such failure, however,
If 1t be possible.
Oflcials here regard 1t as settled that
China and Russia have reached an I'M
Outstanding by which the former will
extend her territory southwark from
Vladlvostock, thus securing a Pacific
harbor opening the year around. This
has been. an acquisition Russia has
long sought, as 1t gives an eastern out
let to the great Siberian railroads.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
Mr.. Mayo is mistaken i'm supposing

cety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals or its president. | believe in
both and honor both. But i think both
made serious mistakes-the society in ar

intended or committed. and the presi-
dent in pursuing the matter i'm the public
prints after 1t had been decided against
him. and particularly in publicly
threatening to defeat the Police Justice
because he was not pleased with his de-
cision.
The society has valuable mission,
but surely its power TO remedy real
wrongs will be greatly diminished by
spending it's strength on imaginary
wrongs especially, when no cruelty has
been intended and none committed. The
difficulty always in societies and other
special agencies of this sort is that in
magnfyng their function they are often
unmndful Of other rights and interests
