missing, So is $4,000 of the money be-
longing to the institution, which is the
second largest banking concern in the

post of $4,000 made last Friday An
examination of the books showed that
it had not been entered and further
that Van Bokkelen had suddenly left

propriated almost $4,000 The Guar
anty company of America, which was
on Van Bokkelen's bond for $4,000, was
Immediately notified and made good
the loss to the amount of the bond.

Dear Madam:-I have not fully re-

Mrs. Maddox has made a wonderful

her son, convicted and sentenced to
be hanged, after one of the hardest
legal battles the west has ever wit
messed. Clyde Maddox, who had gained
the name of a terror in Oklahoma
during the early days of that terri
tory, was accused of numbering a
negro, named John Mullins. He was
tried in the United States court in
September, 1890, found guilty and SEN
fenced to death. Two new trials were
granted and the case was carried to
the United States supreme court
which affirmed the action of the lower
court.
Mrs. Maddox, who has been the con-
slant friend of her son all these long
months and years, made a personal
appeal to President Cleveland who
was induced to give her an audience At
Gray Gables in August, and the above
shows the result.

FRENCH FORCE LAND I'd
North of Ampa, and Near Where the
Fighting Occurred Last May.


RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept. BIDS
patches from Para state that a French
force has landed north of Ampa, and
has blockaded Counani, close TO where
the fighting occurred last May.
Governor Gabral, who was promi-
nent in the former fighting, is prepar
ing to resist the French. The trouble
in the frontier district between Brazil
and French Guiena has given rise to a
good deal of bitter controversy between
the two governments. The Brazilian
governor arrested a Frenchman named
Trajane in the region which is IN dis
pute between the two countries. The
French governor Of Guiana, Charvein,
organized an expedition to punish Gov
ernor Gabrai and rescue Traja1e. The
expedition, led by Captain Lunier, was
unsuccessful its leader and four ma
rines being killed.
The French governor, Charvein, was
recalled to San Francisco for having
organized an expedition without the
authority of the colonial officers and
his successor, NJ. de Lamothe, formerly
governor of Senegal, who was sent out
with instructions to pacify the region
by peaceful measures. The news above
looks as though he had decided peace
full measures to be unavailing and was
about to reopen his predecessors armed
controversy with Governor Gabral.
This region IS swarming with adven-
turers seeking gold, and mob law is the
only appeal for differences.
Courani was the location of small
French settlement and it was here
that Governor Gabral and 500 followers
captured Torjane, the leading colonist,
and brought him to Amapa. Other ex-
petitions acted against the French
Primers in various parts Of the territory.
