BETRAYED BY A WOMAN.
Insurance Companies Received the Fra
ker Tip From Harry,s Lady Friend.

Tnsurance Companies Received the Fra
ker Tip From Harry's Lady Friend.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. THE
latest story in connection with the now
celebrated Fraker insurance swindle
is to the effect that there's woman in
it. According to rumors that were
pretty well authenticated yesterday
the insurance companies received their
tips as to the location of Fraker from
the woman at Ration, N. M, who was
the friend of George Harry, the sup
posed friend of Fraker. It is known
that she wrote several letters to the
Hartford Life and Annuity company,
the one that was settled without suit,
offering to locate Fraker for COM
pensation, and urging them to go
ahead and hunt him up. George HAIR
~ denies that he ever gave up any
thing to the company, or to anyone
else, and refuses to believe that Fra
ker is found
The evening that Fraker was
brought back to the city he told a re-
porter that he wrote to George Harry
at Ration for advice and sent the letter
to a woman friend whom he knew
would see that the letter was delivered.
It was this letter from Milwaukee that
was about that time that the cOmpan-
les first began to fight the case. There
was a slip or he would have been pro
duced before the six months stay of
execution was expired, and this slip
is thought to have been Occasloned by
his removal to Tower, where he was
found. The last letter he wrote was
sent to Harry at Ration, in care of the
woman and forwarded to Harry at
Triplett, Mo-, from which place he sent
the reply.
EShortly after FraBer wrote this last
letter the information as to his loca-
ton was laid before the insurance
companies, and then he was soon over
hauled and arrested.
The insurance companies refuse to
tell where the information came from,
but one of the men is known to have
told that the woman had written let
ters offering to tell his location for GER
tain considerations.

HURLBUT Is DEAD.
A Noted American Newspaper Man
Passes Away in Italy.

eADENABBIA, Italy, Sept. 7.-W1-
liam Henry Hurlbut is dead,
He became connected with the New
York World in 1862, and in 1864 pur-
chased the Commercial Advertiser, in
tending to publish it as free trade
paper, and his associates failing to
agree the paper was sold to Thurlow
Weed. He went to Mexico in 1866, and
was invited to the capitol by
Macmillan. He represented the
New York World at the worlds fair at
Paris in 1857, and the centenary fes-
tival of St. Peter in Rome, and in 1871
accompanied the United States expe-
dition to Santa Domingo, during which
time he published very complete his
tory of that island. In lS76-85 he was
editor-in- chief of the World, and in the
latter year when Joseph Pulitzer
bought the World he went to Europe
where he has since chiefly resided.

Its Relation to Crime.

Several Doctors Declare They
Are Convinced of It.

NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-Bradstreet's
says favorable crop reports from near
ly all directions, and continuance Of
the boom in steel and iron continues
to characterize the general trade stu
alton. Latest advices as to the corn
crop have replaced anxiety with con-
fidence in the larger estimates of the
size of that crop, and satisfaction with
the outlook for trade this autumn.
Harvesting and threshing are inter
fering a little with business in the
spring wheat country. Duluth, MIN
neapolis and st. Paul jobbers in gen
eral lines are pushing for new bust
ness. In South Dakota and Washing
ton farmers show no disposition to
sell their grain. California reports
perfect wea Their for harvesting. The
other side to the crop outlook is found
in Texas, where worms are said to
have seriously damaged cotton in
some sections.
Iron and steel prices have advanced
from 81 to So further, and the demand
at this time continues in excess of the
output which probably almost equals
the large preceding rate of production.
Actual gains in volume of general
trade this week are recorded at Seattle
and Tacoma and the Pacific coast, St.
Louis and Kansas City at the West,
Duluth and St Paul at the Northwest
and Chattanooga, Augusta, Atlanta
and Memphis at the South.
Exports of wheat from both coasts,

amount to 2,26O.OoO bushels against

DICK DALTON.s ROMANCE.
The Noted Missouri Politician on the
Verge of an Elopement.

ST. Louis, Mo, Sept. - About
year ago the wife of Colonel Dick Dali
ton, internal revenue collector of this
district and one of the best known pol
iticians in the state, died. Last spring
he went to Jonesburg to fish. There he
met Miss Mayme Carr, aged 10 beauti-
full and accomplished young girl,
daughter of a leading business man.
The two fell in love at first sight, but
the young lady's father objected on &C
count of the disparity of their ages,
Colonel Dalton being So years old.
Dalton resolved to secure his love any
how, and arranged for an elopement
with the assistance of Miss Carr's SIS
ter, Mrs. Bartletts of GAINESVILLE. The
latter lady eloped herself to get mar
ried and Mayme helped her to do it.
Just about when matters were getting
interesting in stepped Carr with his
consent to marriage in October, and
spoiled a nice romantic story.
Miss Carr is quite well known So
cially in st. Louis. She has fire.

POLICE CAN'T Do 1T.

They Are Not a Success Collecting Lii
oenses-Must Have a Special officer.
The mayor and council will take the
collection of licenses away from the
police and the scheme will be voted a
fat failure. 1t was at first thought that
in the interest of economy it would be
wise TO allow the police to make the col
lections and thus save the salary of a
collector. So the license collector was
discharged aud the work turned over to
the police.
The police have tried the work for
four months, and the collections have
been over $500 short as compared with
the same period last year. and the coun-
Gil has lightly concluded that they are
practicing poor economy. The move
ment to assign Sanitary Officer Nels
Mcconnell to that work will probably
fail and an entirely new man be selected.

SHORT S1,5OO.OOO.
The Bond Syndicate Fails to Keep Up
the Gold Reserve Fund.


the Gold Reserve Fund.
WASHINGTON, Sept. IA te1egr am
received at the treasury depa rtment
states that 81, 900, 900 in gold has been
withdrawn for export from the sub
treasury at New York. Slight gains,
however, were made at Chicago and
other points, aggregating $1s6, 900, so
the true amount of the reserve at the
close of business was $98, 513, 529. The
cash balance was $1e1 SIT, i68.
The treasury officials maintain their
usual reticence on the subject, but
there is no doubt that they were some
what disa ppointed and surprised that
the syndicate permitted the business
day to close without making any de-
posit. From the first the officials have
confidently believed 500. 900, 900 was
the lowest point which the syndicate
would permit the reserve to reach,
and hence their inaction at this time
is not understood. There is, however,
no alarm felt, as it is expected the
syndicate will come to the rescue on
the first sign of uneasiHess on the part
of the public.

The Carlisle Bill and U. S. Bonds.

When the last issue of government
bonds was made, only about a month
ago, it was generally supposed that the
syndicate which took them all ESQ.,
GOOO,OOO) would realize a handsome
profit; but now the report comes that
the syndicate is unable to dispose of
them. 1t is a clear case of "stuck."
The explanation is easily found.
1t is all summed up in four words
the Carlisle currency bill. The light
and airy way this administration
has of dealing with questions vital to
she business interest of the country
is astonishing. Here is bill which,
i If passed, would have the effect to
precipitate $2OO,OOO,OOO of govern
ernent bonds on the market. Instead OF
buying more the banks are now appre-
{ hensive.of heavy loss other present
holdings. The secretary of the
treasury does not appear to have
had the slightest conception of the
gravity of what he was doing. He
went before the committee with his
hastily drawn and unfinished bill
giving it no more consideration thar
heawould a stump speech or a private
letter.
SIT is this utter lack of appreciation
probably quite as much as any
specific provision of the DILL which
has alarmed capital. 1t seems to be
the temper Of the administration to
rush blindly into a radically new cur
rency system, without pausing to con-
slider the probable effect of it upon
the monetary interest of the coun-
try. One stroke of legislation might
overthrow our present finances and
precipitate an appalling panic.
1t is the same spirit which prevailed
on the tariff question. The uncer-
sanity which prevailed SO long. fol-
lowed as it was by a substitution of
free trade for protection, cost this
country incalculable millions, and the
loss is getting larger and larger every
day. Has the country got to suffer a
similar tinkering with finances, ending
finally in substitution ofstate bank
bills for greenbacks and national bank
notes? This is the question which is
paralyzing the bond market Happi-
ly, March will soon be here and then
the agony o. apprehension will be
. over Chicago Inter Ocean.

Mr., BaShfOrd's Bill.

Governor Peck on Thursday last
made the final award in the bill of
Senator R. NJ. Bashford for legal SER
vices in assisting Attorney-Ge
O'Connor in the prosecution of the
treasury interest cases. Mr. Bash
ford's bill was for S27,5OO. The
governor cut it $4,000, allowing
aim SIT, 500, with S386.36 adj
ditional for expenses. Mr.. Bash
ford has previously received $500
for fees and expenses, leaving IS, $40
still to be paid, besides expenses.
Mr.. Bashford's bill was accompan-
led by letters from several leading at
5orneys of the state, among them
J. Y. Quarles and Joshua Stark, Of
Milwaukee, C. W. Felker, of Oshkosh,
7. f. Frawley, of Eau Claire, and
H. w. Chynoweth, J. NJ. DIN and
F. J. Lamb, of Madison, from
whom he had asked opinions as to
the proper fee. Their letters put the
amount all the way from $4,000 to
$4,000
Mr.. Bashford has accepted the
award. Thegovernor's action is final
in the case, there being no appealfrom
his decision.

HIS VISIT CUT SHORT.

An indianapolis Lady's SoIioitude for the
Cleanliness of Her Friends.
A Certain lady of this city, who had
never been used to the luxury of life
until after her husband made large
sum of money in the real estate bust
ness, moved into an elegant house
which had, among other conveniences,
a fine bathroom, says the Indianapolis
Sentinel 1t was her pride, and every
visitor was informed about the bath
room. Guests who came from a dis
tance were greeted with: 'Now, know
you are tired and dusty after your long
Journey; just go right up to the bath
room and you can have a refreshing
bath at once" This worked well In
most cases, but one day she made a
mistake She went to the door one
warm summer afternoon to find young
gentleman friend of her husbands
from Louisville, and she took it for
granted that he was going to stay all
night. So her first words after shaking
hands with him were: Now, you are
tired and dusty after your journey;
just go right up to the bathroom; a
bath will refresh you So"
In vain the young man tried to ex-
postulate; she had him by the arm and
started him up the stairway before he
could get In word In half an hour
he came down and took up his hat and
stick 81 thank you very much" he
said, 81 enjoyed the bath very much. :"
Then he started for the door. "Why,
where are you going?" asked the
hostess. ''To catch my train" he an
swered; 81 only had forty minutes to
stay and my bath took half an hour, SO
/ must hustle now to catch the Chicago
train" This cured the lady of showing
off her bathroom.

Big Waterworks Projects Abroad.

A plan for supplying Paris with wa
ter from Lake Neufchatel is under con-
sideration by the municipality. 1t
involves the building of an aqueduct
800 miles in length and at an estimated
cost of 500, 900, 900. An earlier plan
proposed to use Lake Geneva as a
source of supply, the estimated cost
being $1OO,OO0,OOO. The engineer of
the Neufchatel plan proposes to tun-
mel the Jura mountains, and give a
head of 1914 feet in Paris. One OF the
greatest engineering works of modern
times is the artificial lake inpounding
the waters of the River Vyrnwy, in
Montgomeryshire, to supply Liverpool,
sixty-eight miles distant. The lake
has storage capacity of 1900, 0e0, 900
gallons, and power is given to supply
water over certain belt Of county on
each side of the line. Liverpool is
thus placed on an equality, as to water
supply, with Glasgow, which has laid
Lock Katrine under contribution and
with Manchester, which is doing the
same with Thirlmeer.
