Chicago, Oct. 49, j. II. Cummings,
who is said to have been at one time a
newspaperman in San Francisco and
the East, was sentenced to ten days in
the county Jail on a charge of extortion
today. Some years ago Miss Julia
Adler kept company and oorresponded
with Henry Tillenburg. After Miss
Adler's marriage to r. Barrati, stock
borker, Tillenburg is said TO have
shown her letters to Cummings Both
Tillenburg and Cummings were nearly
penniless, and formed plan to extort
money from Mrs. Barrati by means of
the letters. The dates were changed
to make them appear TO have been
written after her marriage. Then
Cummings demanded 500 apiece for
the letters, threatening to show them
to Mr.. Barrati, in case of her refusal.
In this way $40 was secured, $40 at a
time. Cummings gave the lady part
of one of the letters in return. Finally,
Mrs. Barrati told her husband. The
arrest of Cummings and Tillenburg
followed. Tillenburg secured his re-
lease on bail, and has not since been
seen. He is said to be we'll connected

Liberal feeding of the dairy COW

cows he ought to be reasonably certain
that they are good ones One of the
best plans for doing this is to use only a

committee; Senator Vest of Missouri, Platt
OF Connecticut, Walthall of Mississippi,
and Jones of Nevada, arrived in the city last
night.
The investigation was opened about1 10.
Mr.. August Belmont the first witness, was
questioned by Senator Vest. Mr.. Belmont
SAID that he did not see President Cleveland
in Washington when he went there regard
ing the bond sale, on January 20, 1895. He
saw the Secretary of the Treasury and
talked the matter over with him. He said
that he made no suggestions to the Sec
retary, but only stated his views.

could do toallaythe feeling on the other side
He told Secretary Carlisle that he thought
the financial condition of affairs was seri-
Gus. and that the only way OF relieving it
was to make a bond sale. He declared that
he only contributed his own views.
Senator Vest said that he was trying TO

Mr.. Smith called on the board this

Objection was made by Attorney A. +.

grounds that one of the signers is known
