Albert Gall. VINO was caught for $4,000 in
the failure last year of the Indianapolis
National Bank, and who has operated
mammoth carpet and wall paper house
here for moro than 80 years, being re-
puted one of the wealthiest men in In-
dianapolis, has turned all of his property
over to Adolph Striecker and Frederick
Bachmann as trustees for his creditors.
Treasurer Gall will go out of Office in a
few days, having served two terms as
state treasurer. He tried to save himself
when the Indianapolis National bank
failed by taking securities from President
Haughey, but on an order from court the
securities had to be returned to the re-
ceiver of the bank, and Gall lost the en-
tire amount. Friends are supposed to
have come to his relief, so that the amount
of his obligations cannot be learned.

Twenty years later n stranger of appar-
ent means spent few days in Hubbards-

he was Robert Sargent. He left again
and never returned. Once or twice tiding

perity, but never by letter did tho family
hear from him.

ton lawyer of an estate of from S3,000,000
to 81 100000 which belonged to them, and

80 per cent. of the value of the recovered
property.
The estates are supposed to exist on
the borders of Texas and in Mexico.
There are 81 heirs. The property has been

ST. PAUL, Jan. 4.-The Minneapolis
Journal says editorially to-day: "Mon-
tana has made good showing for a hard
times year. She has exported agricultural
products of tho value of about Sl3.OOO,OJO
and her mineral output has been about
S32, 100000. This for a state that has
population of only about 100000 is far
from bad showing.
"Every crop raised in the state was a
success; the gold mines produced more
than for long time; the copper produc-
tion has been as great as the year before,
as has the tonnage of the silver output;
the cattle industry has brought more cash
than ever; the sheep trade has been bet
ter than the year before; the agriculturist
has profited as never before.
Montana has, during the year, made
progress in the diversification of her farm
ing interests, and she has succeeded so
we'll that her cities we're supplied with
hogs from her own borders. Her exports
of potatoes were 5000 tons, and in the
growing of fruit and berries there has
been a most excellent start"

MUNICE, Ind, Jan. 4.-Hiram Tewks-

have got rich in spite of himself. When
the Petty Bros, representing the Stand
ard Oil company, were near Montpelier
leasing oil territory, Mr.. Tewsbury was
secured by them to assist in leasing farms.
The Howard farm of 16O acres was for
sale, but they would not lease it.
The Pettys prevailed upon Mr.. Tewks-
bury to buy it, telling him that they would
take it off his hands, presumably at a fair
advance. He bargaIned for the land, but
the Pettys could not raise the money. or
at least, did not, and ne made an effort 10
prevent the taking of it, as he owned more
land than no wanted at that time.
The Howard heirs insisted, brought suit
for the fulfillment of contract and won

OLEAN. n. ", Jan. An an under

tho three Masco brothers. One week ago
they started to Olean from their home
across the river in n flat-bottom boat.
When they did not return home their
father believed they had gone to visit
their uncle, who lived in an adjoining
county. On Tuesday he became alarmed
and learned that they had not been there.
A searching party was formed. and the
old flat-bottom boat was found. After
dragging the river the bodies of Edward
and Charles, aged Is and 10, respectively,
were recovered, and last night the body of
William, aged 22, was secured. Williams
boots we're missing. As he was the only
one that could swim, tho impression is
that when the boat began to sink he re-
lieved himself of his boots and tried to
save his brothers and lost his own life.
He leaves n widow.

..The New Dominion" the play that
will be presented, is simple story of
life in Virginia, with German baron
travelling incognito in this country in
seaach of rare botanical specimens as
the principal parsonage. In this part
of Baron Hohenstauffen, Mr.. Clement
gives playgoers new phase of the
German character. The usual stage
presentation is that of an ignorant,
coarse and laundering Dutchman.
Mr.. Clement, however, impersonates
an intelligent, refined and cultivated
gentleman, who. nevertheless is con-
fused, perplexed and constantly en-
tangled in the intricacies of the Eng
lish tongue. The love pa ssages are
described as exquisite bits of acting
that make the whole audience sympa-
thize with the lovers.

Howard, one of the leading command
ers in the late war, addressed a good
sized audience at the Grand. The
general was introduced in pleasing
speech by A. l.. Himle. The subject
OF the General'slecture was the "Battle
of Gettysburg"
Step by step he led the veterans back
over the scenes of this most important
battle. The peach orchard, "Cop's
HILL" cemetery ridge, and the move
ments at those places were dwelt up
on. He mentioned the death of Gen.
Reynolds, and explained the queer
feelings he experienced on learning
that he then was senior officer on the
field. He spoke of the attempt to cap
ture Oak Hill, and gave history of
each day in regular order. He is an
easy speaker, having fine descriptive
powers; not given to oratory, but clear
and interesting in every detail.
