A MISSING WORD.
Jury Failed to Put the Word "GuiIty' in z
 Verdict.

An amusing incident occurred in the criminal court yesterday in the trial of Charles Abbott, charged with grand lar- ceny.
 The case was in the hands of the jury which, after deliberating for some time, filed into the court room and announced that a verdict had been agreed upon.
 The indictment was handed to the clerk who read. "We the jury find the plaintiff as charged in the indictment"
 Judge Greene at once discovered the word guilty" missing and told the jury that a very particular little word had been left out of their verdict. and that they had better retire and again see if they could not render a better verdict, which they did in few moments, by inserting the proper word.

Yesterday afternoon the governor re- ceived the following official report from Examiner Foster:
 By your authority and direction I have made an examination of the books and papers and accounts of J. A. Box, tax collector of St. Clair county, from the beginning of his term to July 31, 1897.
 The examination shows that in 1892, 1884, and 1896 the raises by the board of commissioners and equalization were not included in the final recapitulatdon of the taxes for thsse years, although said raises were placed upon the books of assessment and collected by MT. Box.
 The raises for these years are as fol- lows:
 For lS92. $l00OO For 1894 .... ......... 35,5O7 For 1855. .................-... 55,l2S
 MT. Box is therefore chargeable with the state and county tax on the above amounts. The examination further shows that by an error taxes of 1893 were not properly reported to the audi tor.
 All of the above is more fully set out in exhibit "A" hersto attached, and made a part of this report
 MT. Box states under oath that he had settled in full with both state and coun- ty for all taxes charged against him, and was not aware that these items had bsen omitted until this investigation was made.
 This statement was sworn to and signed by Assistant Examiner of Pub lie Accounts w. R. Foster. Exhibit "A"

 As for the ticket that Is presented by the republican party, there ought to be no division of opinion among republi- cams. Gov.

The election of senator of the United States is involved in the election of a leg isTature The only republican candidate who is mentioned is Mark A. Hanna, who is now serving out the remainder of the term to which I had the honor ito be elected. His wide experience as a busi- ness man; ts generous and kindly treat ment of his employees; his sound judg- ment of all public questions of the day ought to secure for him the hearty sup port of every republican member of the lesislature I will on Tuesday nsxt, Providence permitting, go to Mansfield and contribute my vote not only for his election, but for the election of the en- tire republican ticket.

THE LATEST
Wonderful Triumph of Civil
 ization.

As civilization advances diseases increase. Mans ingenuity has been able to supply nearly all the necessities of life as fast as they arise, yet strange to say, although three-fourths of the human family are af- ficted with some form of catarrhal or bronchial trouble, scientists and doctors have not been able to find specific for those dangerous naladies. Not because they did not use their best efforts, but for the reason that the only infallable cure for catarrhal and bronchial complaints was hidden in the frozen fastnesses of Alaska. But thanks to mans courage that region is being thoroughly explored and today we are receiving precious gold and another article of far more value to mankind from that region. That is the Great Alaskan Bo- tanic Remedy Anti-Catarrh-a guaranteed cure for all Catarrhal and Bronchial trou- bles. Send address and receive an inter- esting account of its discovery.

NEW YORK, Oct 14.-The principal
events of the Gay were Ex-Pos,-
master Daytons acceptance of the nom
ination of comptroller on the George
ticket; Mayor Strong's first speech for
Seth Low, in which he resented the in
reference of the national administra-
ton in the Greater New York campaign,
and Tammany Halls ratification meet
ing, which was not nearly so well at
tended nor so enthusiastic as the leaders
hoped it would be.
The Citizens union is holding numer-
Gus meetings, and Henry George is about
to take the stump.
Speaking at a crowded Citizens
union mass meeting tonight Mayor
Strong made a vigorous plea for Seth
Low. He said: when Folger ran for
governor and was defeated by barely
100000 majority, the national admins
tratiors tried to interfere in the affairs of
the state of New York. If the founda-
ton principles of the Republican party
are so weak that it is necessary to have
a member of the cabinet interfere in our
municipal affairs, the foundations have
been knocked from under the party"
At Seth Low meeting tonight, speak
ing from the same platform, and imme-
dately after Mr.. Strong, General Arson
McCook handled the Mckinley admins
tration without gloves for its interfer-
ence in the present mayoralty fight
Tammany Hall tonight ratified the
nominations of its candidates.
The attendance at the meeting in the
wigwam was not as great as was eX-
pected. While the hall was well filled,
there was a crowd of several thousand
surrounding the stands on the outside
of the headquarters Of the regular
Democracy. Ex-Governor Campbell of
Ohio, who had been invited to speak,
sent his regrets, as did also Colonel VIII

WELBURN FOUND NOT GUILTY
BY THE TWELVE PRESUMABLY
GOOD MEN
Not One Of the Forty-Six Charges of
Embezzlement Could Be Made
to Stick
Associated Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 40. M.
Welburn, ex-collector of internal reve-
nue. in the Northern district of Califor-
mia, who has been on trial in the United
States district court, Judge de Haven
presiding, on an indictment containing
forty-six distinct charges of embezzle
dict of the jury.
Welburn was removed from office after
an investigation conducted by Special
Agent Thrasher, who was sent here from
Washington for the purpose. Soon after
his removal the United States grand jury
found a true bill against him and his
trial was begun on October 4th. AS col
lector of internal revenue Welburn had
control of the salary and expense ac-
count as disbursing agent. 1t was
charged that he carried men on the sal
airy account who were not at work for
the government and that he paid others
less than he charged to the treasury on
their account. The sums said to have
been embezzled were all small, though
in the aggregate they amounted to over
$4,000. The case has been bitterly con-
tested and the prosecution asserted that
conviction was certain, but the defense
never lost hope and the result justifies
their prediction that the ex-collector
would be able to satisfactorily explain
his conduct of the Office. The case went
to the jury late this afternoon and at
10: 80 p m. Judge de Haven opened court
and received the verdict, which was pre-
scented by S. S. Tilton as foreman Of the
jury. 1t was entered by the clerk and
then read to the few people present. We'll
burn, who sat beside his attorney, Frank
H. Gould, received the result with a
SMILE and shook the hand of his lawyer
Court was adjourned by Judge de- Hav-
en-, after he had given the jury few in
etructions regarding the other cases on
the calendar.
