LOTTERIES DONE FORD
Assistant Attorney General Thomas Says
the Business is Crippled.

Assistant Attorney General Thomas Says
the Business is Crippled.
WASHINGTON, Oct. II John L.
Thomas. assistant attorney general for
the postoffice department, has made
his annual report to the postmaster
general OF the operations of his Office
he says that during the year 218
fraud orders were issued prohibiting
the delivery of registered pack
ages and the payment of money
parties named. Of these, how
ever, thirty-eight were duplicate
orders. The orders were issued against
ffty-fve lotteries operated by so-ealled
bond investment companies, twelve
avowed lotteries, twenty-one lotteries
of a miscellaneous character and $50
schemes devised to defraud the public.
Seventy of these orders were revoked
upon it being made to appear that the
parties operating the schemes had
abandoned them. This left in force at
the end of the year las orders, original
and duplicate. Twenty-eight of the
orders issued during the previous year
were also revoked upon the proper
showing. Mr.. Thomas says that the
act of March ?, 1895, further amending
the lottery act, has been most success
full, and has virtually closed the
mails to lottery concerns. He
further says: It may be con-
fdently asserted that. the death
kne1 of the avowed lotteries IN
this country has been sounded and
their business has been vastly crippled,
if not ruined, and I am sorry to note
the fact that many business men think
they must, in order to succeed, resort
to schemes that appeal to the gambling
spirit of the people, and they accord
ingly sugar-eoat their legitimate en-
terprises with lottery advertisements
and thus create desire for other and
more pernicious modes of obtaining
something for nothing by hazard or
chance. These fascinating and appar-
emily innocent schemes reach the boys
and girls of the land and tend to make
them gamblers"

VEST TALKS FOR SILVER.
The Senator Stands Up for His Free Coin



FAYETTE, Mo, Oct Ex-senator
Vest addressed about 1000 people in
the opera house here Saturday after
noon. Fully 5000 people assembled to
hear him, but no building in the city
was large enough to accommodate
them all. After being introduced by
Colonel w F. 7Switzler of the Boom
vile Democrat, he began as follows:
1.-The weakness of any cause is demon
strated by resort to falschood and
misrepresentation When I returned
from Europe where l had gone for
rest and to regain my health, I was
confronted by the statement in the
New York papers that / had changed
my position on the silver question and
had Joined the single gold standard
party. The statement was absolutely
false and groundless. No syllable had
ever fallen from my lips which justified
any such charge. Instead Of changing
my position on silver ! came back more
firmly convinced than ever that the
best interests of this country and the
world demand the free and unlimited
coinage of both gold aud silver and
that this great republic, if true to the
principles on which it was founded.
must stand to the last extremity for
DlillEtdi44s oAu SetlASe IAAS SHY 4t
gold standard
Mr. Vest spoke at length of what he
saw in Europe that convinced him
that the United States must lead in re-
storing silver to its former place as
money and then said that the cam
paign of misrepresentation had gone
/ beyond personalities and sought to
falsify the issues involved in this cou-
test by charging the friends of silver
with favoring unsound money and
wanting to coin fifty cent dollars.
The senator concluded his speech as
| follows: No one regrets more than
myself the division now existing in
the Democratic party on the question
of silver coinage, and no one has
la bored more earnestly to avert tie
conditions that now exist. I have
always advocated the free and unlimit-
ed coinage of silver al the ratio of IS
to J. To the brave man but one path
is open. that Of duty, and 1 have not
lived in your midst all these years to
have suspicion now of the courage
and fidelity to honest conviction of
Missouri Democrats.

JOE NESBiTT DEAD.
He Was King of the Gamblers of the
West Fen Years Ago.

he was kIng OF the Gam blerS OF the
West Ten Years Ago.
CHICAGO, Oct. l4.-Sporting men and
gamblers, both east and west OF the
Rocky mountains will feel a genuine
p3ng of sorrow when they learn that
Joe Nesbitt is dead, aud that he died
in wapd and without the most common
of comforts. Joe Nesbitt was known
among the high-elass gamblers from
Chicago to San Francisco and all over
Colorado, Montana and Idaho sections.
Ten years ago his check was good for
S10O, 00O in the Montana National bank
at Helena without Endorsement. Last
Saturday ne ran away from. the poor
farm at Dunniug, Ill, and came to
Chicago for the purpose of begging
enough money to buy morphine and
cocaine. He was weak and emaciated
from long sickness and denial of the
drugs, and when he sought his room
at a cheap lodging house in Clark
street he lay down upon the bed and
never awakened. It is supposed he
took too much of the drug in his
anxiety for the stimulant.

A New Years Accident at the BOs.
ton and Montana Copper
Smelter.
Matt tisk0 Run Over by Freight
Cars-He Died from His In
,|iurles Yesterday.

The New Year was ushered in by a
cad accident at the Boston and Montana
copper smelter by which a man lost his
life. The accident occurred at an early
hour Wednesday morning. Matt Fisko,
h has b EN- recently working in the
Montana company. was the victim. He
had been laid off just before Christmas
and was calling at the repair shops to
see if h S services would not be needed
soon. After transacting his business he
started up the track, which runs along
the river bank, with his head down and
not needing d train Of cars which
was coming behind him. Probably
the hummiug of the cables and the roar
OF the falls drowned the noise of the ap-
preaching train, for the unfortunate man
never looked around, although the engi
neer rang the bell and Foreman Young of
the switching crew. who was standing
near and saw his CANCER, yelled at him a
warning. The engineer, when he saw
that he paid no attention to the signals
reversed his engine and tried hard to
stop the train, but it was too late. The
end of a fiat car which was being pushed
by the engine struck him in the back.
knocking him down, and the wheels of
both cars and engine passed over his two
legs, almost cutting them clean off and
crushing his left thigh. He was taken
TO the Columbus hospital and
the surgeons there found it ne
cessary to amputate both limbs. He
was So severely crushed, however, that
this last desperate resort was without
avail, and he Gied yesterday at the hos
pital from his injuries. He is about 80
years age and had been in the service of
the company from the time they started
work in Great Falls. His funeral will
take place today.
