of Juneau, Wis, shot himself in the
right temple during the night in this
city, dying instantly. His body was
found sitting on bench in the nation.
al cemetry cary this morning, still
grasping the pistol with which the
suicide was committed. He arrived
here a week ago and registered at the
hotel as G. T. Anderson, and since
then he has been visiting the bait e.
fields in the vicinity of Fredericksburg.
About 500 was found on his person.
Friends from Juneau have telegraphed
for the body 10 be forwarded there.
The following note was found III mis-
pocket:
My name is w. T. Rambusch, OF
Juneau, Dodge county, Wisconsin,.

(Signed) "W. I. Rambusch. .
Rambusch had no baggage when he
arrived here save small hand satch-
ell. Rambusch was one Of the most
prominent men in Wisconsin in
church, state and financial affairs. He
was president Of the Citizens Bank in
Juneau and held the implicit conf
dence of every person. He left a few
days ago and it was then ascertained
that he was defaulter IN the sum OF
$3.50, 900. The news OF the defalcation
created the biggest sensation in Wis
consin ever sprung in financial circles.
Since that time officers have been on
the search for the speculative banker

Disp ensary Cases.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 80. The Su-
preme Court to-day heard argument in
one of the South Carolina Dispensary
cases. The cases before the court grew
out OF the seizure of liquors imported
into the State last December by James
Donald, ne claiming them to be for
his own use and consumption. It
came up on an appeal from an injunc-
ton granted by Judge Simonton OF
the United States Circuit Court. Don
aid had brought suit against four con.
stables for an injunction to. prevent
them from selling wines, liquors, ETC.,
imported by him in the future
for his own lse. The injunction was
granted, and the State authorities ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court. Attor-
ney General Barber OF South Carolina
appealed for the State and J. ?. K.
Bryan represented Donald. The lat
ter argued that the law was uuconstl-
tutional because it forbade CONNER
cial intercourse between the States and
because it denied to the product OF
some States a police inspection provid-
ed for LIQUORS from other States. He
.contended that if this principle were
admitted the State could exclude from
use by her citizens all products OF
other States. Attorney General Bar
Der argued that the State had the
right to exercise her police powers IN
order to give her citizens pure liquors.
He said that so per cent. OF the liquors
consumed in South Carolina were
manufactured in other States. In con-
nection with his defense OF the law,
he cited statistics to show that the ef-
feet OF this police measure" had been
to reduced drunkness in the State 80
per cent. and the consumption of Il
Guor 81 per cent. Both Mr. Bryan
and Attorney General Barber agreed
to the coupling of this case with ex-
parte Snyder, which IS on its way to
the Supreme Court ron the Circuit
Court, being a decision declaring the
the Act OF the last South Carolina
Legislature, modifying the original
Dispensary law, to be, like i, uncon.
stitutional. Attornev General Baroer
said that the State was exceeding ~
anxious for final adjudication OF the
question and stood ready to agree to
anything with that end IN view.

Still Playing the Fool.

ATLANTA, Oct. 2O.-The Populist
State executive committee met today
to act on any reply which the Demo
cratic executive committee might
make. The Democrats authorized 4
reply, but did not prepare it today.
Tonight the Populists met again. Tom
Watson, II. w. Reed and George f.
Washburn were with the committee.
Some wanted to fuse with the Repub-
licans. Others urged that the Popu-
list electoral ticket in this State be
taken down and the party followers
be left free to vote as they pleased.
Mr.. Watson opposed fusion with the
Republicans, declaring he would rath-
er lose an arm than see it. Messrs.
Reed and Washburn have been threat
ching on the outside that the Popu-
lists would luse with the Republicans
unless the Democrats made great con-
cessions to them. The meeting may
last all night.

coercion or Intimidation of voters.
my advice to the supporters of Bry-
an" he says, KS to keep every eye
open to these games. Let them place
cool, game men on guard at every pre-
cinct, sharp enough to expose these
schemes and to use the best and most
legitimate methods to frustrate them.
I believe that the pelitentiaries will
be the proper place for all scoundrels
who try to prevent an honest election.
Coercion, intimidation and every other
un-American means has been used so
far, but it will become q more serious

A Terrible Killing.


LAMAR, S. c., Oct. 2l.-Brooks Nc
kensie was shot dead in the public
road near Alcott, Darlington county,
by Charlie Hatfield last night. They
were both young white men, and had
been chums. Brooks, followed by his
dog, meeting Charlie, said in a joking
way: Look out; I'll set my DOG on
you The latter spoke roughly; the
other replied inditferently. Charlie
then drew his pistol and fired, killing
Mckensie instantly. Bending over the
body of the murdered man, Hatfield
said: Hang, or no hang, I've killed
you;" so testify two WITNESSES present.

are appended TO the settlement sheets
of 1898 81, are equally responsible TOR
the error, and have been careless IN
the administration Of their official du-
~, inasmuch as they allowed credit
TO be given treasurer IN ms ilnal set

quent taxes, with l5per cent penalty,
Tor 81, 500 more than he was entitled
to under this head, and that they ac,
cepted receipt for y book. stating
that the recapitulation OF book, given
by the incoming treasurer TO the out
going treasurer, as the proper vouch-
er for delinquent taxes, with 10 per
cent penalty when they should have
taken as the only proper voucher the
abstract Of the book for which the re-
ceipt passed which should be on file
in the auditors and Comptroller Gen
erals offices.
Mr.. j. r. Hopkins gives as his eX-
cuse for his seeming careleSsuess that
he assumed the duties of his Office just
at the time that this book vas oelng
made up. That the book was being
made up in the treasurer's Office in
stead of the auditors office, and was
just about completed when he inquired
after it; that no abstract was ever filed
with him of said book; that he was
told that it was customary for this
book to be made up in the t-easurer's
Office. and that he had not had time
to aceuaint himself sufficiently w,th
the law bearing upon his duties as au-
ditor and that he has since complied
with the law in regard to this matter
in every particular. This jury con
siders this reasonable excuse.
We recommend that J. S. Campbell
be required to pay to the treasurer of
Richland County the sum OF 1876,
the amount of over. credit under tax
eS delinquent, with l. per cent penal.
tg, in the settlement OF 1898 81.
We call attention to the attached
communication from J. s. Campbell:
Since the typewriter part of our re-
port was made up Treasurer Folk ap-
peared before US and produced re-
ceipts for poll tax, which he procured
from different persons whose names
-den0t appear on the books, the said
receipts having been signed by Ex-
Treasurer s. Campbell, and covering
a period of several consecutive years.
He further alleges that there are nu-
merous cases ike the above, in view
of which we ask for more time IN
which to investigate the matter,
through committee of this jury, and
that we be allowed under the next
term of this Court to report upon the
same. We thank your Honor and
the other officers of the Court for cour-
tesies extended.

CoLUME1A. s. c., Oct. 81. The rash
to secure new counties has commenced
in dead earnest. Yesterday petitions
FOR the ordering of elections to estab-
lisn three new counties came all in
one lump. Already two elections
have been ordered for the new coun-
ties of Salem and Limestone. The
three now asking for elections are to
be known as Calhoun, Dorchester and
Greenwood, respectively. The first
and last named are new county
schemes which have been urged be-
fore succeeding general assemblies
time and again. 1t looks at last ss if
those who have been working for them
are to be successful in their efforts.
Governor Evans is still absent from
the city and consequently none o.
these petitions have yet been granted.
The papers appear to be complete,
however, and no doubt the elections
will be ordered Immediately y upon the
return of the chief executive. All the
papers were fled in the governors Of
fee yesterday.

of Lexington county proposed to be

The new county will include the

city, who was blown to pieces while
IN his Office at G9 l'alisade avenue yes

solved as TO determine that Andrews
was the victim Of murderer. At
first il was supposed that he either
lost his life while experimenting, Or
was killed by the explosion of a bomb
attachment to his safe, intended for
burglar trap. Today, however, an
electric battery was found in the eel
lar beneath the scene of the explosion
which was connected with wires run
