A FOE OF PEPPER.

 Populist-Preacher Editor.

COmplicity in the Sugar Scandal Alleged by
 Populist-Preacher Editor.
 WICHITA, Kan, Dec. 22.-After a conference of the leading populists here last night it leaked out that they had been considering a proposition from a San Bernardino, Cal, editor, who was formerly preacher in the western part of this state, to publish a page '.expose" of Senator Peffer's connection with the sugar scandal of three years ago, and to send a copy to every newspaper in this state for $500. It is not known that any of Peffer's rivals have accepted. It is alleged that in ap- parent defiance of his constituency. Senator Peffer voted on the sugar schedule as the trust would have wished. Soon she trust gave the sen ator's son, Elwood, lucrative posi- tiop in California, which the young man still holds. Some constituents expressed indignation, but the matter was dropped. It may now be revived.

BIG BANK CLOSED.
At Chicago the National of Illinois Sus-
 bends Owing Many Millions.


 bends Owing Many Millions.
 CHICAGO, Dec. 22. The National Bank of Illinois, one of the oldest and best known institutions in the city, and with assets of between S12,- 900, ,o3O and Sl5 Oo0, GOO, closed it's doors to-day. This action was decided upon at a meeting of the directors of the bank last night after the bank had been suspended from the clearing house association of Chicago. Of the 16 banks that cleared through the National Bank of Illinois, two closed their doors as Il result of the closing of that institution. These were those of E $. Dryer & Go. and Wasmansdorff & Heine- mann. These two institutions were mortgaged loan banks and saving SO cieties and their failures are not ex- pected to affect any business houses Injudicious management and slow col lections from real estate loans is given as the reason for the failure. The Ma tional Bank of Illinois was organized in 1871 with capital stock of $500. .OO0, which was subsequently, increased to $1,0o0, GOO. It had been regarded as one of the soundest financial institutions in the city. The last statement of the bank showed: Deposits, S12, 175, 766; loans, So, l09,6 ,642; cash resources, S4, ,9s3, 200; total resources, S14, 300, ,000. It is thought probable that none of the de- positors will lose by the suspension, as the bankers who were present at the meeting of the committee recommend ed for consideration the proposition to advance 75 per cent of all adjusted claims against the National Bank of Illinois

SIsTEIsvLLE, w. Va. Dec 22. "speaI1-easy" whisky did awful work in the Benwood oil field in Monroe county, O., Saturday evening.

The great cattle, sheep and silver
industries of New Mexico have suffered
severely, for the reason of adverse
legislation. But there is one growing
industry here that seems to be safe,
whatever the political outcome may be,
and that is gold mining. There are
now a number Of infant gold camps In
New Mexico, which, if they were In
Colorado or California, would attract
worldwide attention, but being in q
Territory. are only appreciated by the
men who are on the ground and see for
themselves the possibilities therein.
But 1t will not be many months until
capital will see the bonanzas In
New Mexico, and we may then reason
ably expect a good. healthy boom.

AN EXTRA SESSION enOBAnLE

A New York dispatch says that
there is going to be an extra ses-
sion of Congress called within twen-
ty days after the Inauguration OF
President-elect Mckinley. This in
formation comes from Canton in a
positive and direct way, and its re-
liability cannot be questioned.
1t is the opinion of the President
elect that no revenue legislation can
be accomplished this Winter, and
though the newspaper dispatches
disagree regarding his attitude to-
ward the present agitation for the
Dingley bill, there is substantial
authority for the statement that
Mckinley is averse to raising ex-
pectation as to its enactment, which,
in his judgement, cannot be realized.
He fears the business community
would become demoralized should
the bill pass the House, again only
to be laid aside by the Senate, and
does not share Senator Sherman's
opinion that the measure can pass
the Senate before the reorganiza-
ton of that body on March 4th.

THE Grand Jury of Warren
county, Kentucky, after a session
of several days, has returned in
dictments for election frauds
against five prominent citizens, two
of whom are gold standard Demo-
Gratis and three Republicans. The
names OF the men indicted for
whom bench warrants were issued
are: Edward Smallhouse, John
Sanders, Magistrate G. E. Speck
and his son, Louis Speck, and AL
bent Berry. Smallhouse is one of
Bowling Green's best known young
business men. Magistrate Speck
is an ex-member of the Legislature
and prominent Republican poll
tician. He and his son live at
Richardsville. Sanders lives at
Rockville, and Berry at Hadley-
The indictments charge the men
with offering money on election day
and the day before to voters to re-
main away from the polls. Small
house and Sanders are gold stand
ard Democrats. The congression-
al race III that district was very close
and as DR.. Hunter has contested
on the ground of fraud this prose-
cution will be valuable to John s..
Rhea, as tending to show that not
only did he have majority on the
face of the returns, but that men
were kept from voting for him.

THE government has ordered 100,-
600 new guns for the U. S. army.
The 100000 ordered some time ago
have been completed and the recent
lot ordered will be ready in few
months. What Uncle Sam wants of
all these guns is mystery. There
is no danger of war with any other
country, but there may be necessity
for the use of these arms in this
country before the wave of prosper
ity inaugurated by Mckinley gets
through rolling over the country.
