Give, ,En, Away.

As the result of family quarrel,
Phil. Oster, a counterfeiter, OF nation
al reputation, surrendered himself at
police headquarters in New Orleans,
Friday evening, and made complete
confession of his nefarious transactions
in spurious coin. Upon Oster's state
ment, Mrs. Alvin Adams. his sister-in-
law, and james and Willism Murray,
his brothers-in-law, we're also taken
into custody. Oster's story to the po-
lice is that he commenced his career as
counterfeiter while serving a five
years term for burglary, in the Missis-
sippi penitentiary. There he made in
all about $4,000, which he passed
through TRUSTEES and others. Upon
his release in Mississippi he was ar
rested upon the confession Of an ac-
complice and sent to the Chester, IIli-
nois, .penitentiary, where he served
four years. Later, he settled in New
Orleans and became involved in Du-
merous crimes of various sorts. For
the last six or seven months, under the
alias of Spaulding, he has carried on
the business of counterfeiting,in in which
he had become expert. The counter
felt coins were all dollars and we're
made of mixture of tin, antimony
and other metals, in plaster Of paris
moulds, and washed with silver. In
appearance they we're perfect and had
a good ring, but the weight was slight
ly deficient.

The Storm in Lonisiana.

Dispatches received from many
points in Louisiana report that
droughts of from four to eight weeks
duration were broken Friday night by
copious and refreshing rains, which
will greatly benefit al crops. In
Nachitoches and adjacent parishes a
large corn crop is now assured. At
Monroe, La, the rain storm was one
OF the seyerest in years. Many fields
of corn, large numbers OF trees and a
great many fences were blown down
and some houses wrecked. A few cat
tie we're killed and half dozen persons
are reported wounded, with only one
whose life is despaired of. The Mer
Rouge country, twenty miles north OF
Monroe, suffered greatly from severe
hail storm that accompanied the wind
and rain, crops being badly damaged.
The rain is general and will be q great
blessing to the farmers, gardeners and
cattle men of North Louisiana, the Sec
ton that suffered SO severely from the
drought last season.

GovERoR ALrGELD
shown Up In Bad Light by the Bank
Investigation.

A special from Springfield, ILL.,, says:
The report of the special committee of
the senate appointed to investigate the
charges of misappropriation of funds
of the University of Illinois by G. w.
Spaulding, treasurer Of the university
board aud president Of the defunct
Globe Savings Bank, which was sub
mitted to the senate Friday, created
something OF a sensation owing to the
freedom with which ex-Gov. Altgeld's
name was used in connection with the
affair. The report declares the ex-
governor was heavy borrower of the
failed bank, that he must have known
of its condition when he recommended
President Spauldiug for treasurer of
the university board and that H. b.
Prentice, formerly in charge of the
banking department of the State au-
ditor's Office, was removed at Altgeld's
request after having insisted on rigid
examination of the Globe Savings
Banks affairs.
The report is in part as follows: The
committee find that this bank was
practically insolvent in 1898, and that
that fact must have been known to Mr..
Spaulding and to Gov.- Altgeld. The
committee fin 1 that Gov. Altgeld, at
the time of his election as governor.
was director, and as such should
have been--and the committee be-
iieves wps-acquainted with its condi-
ton. The committee also find that
Governor Altgeld was also very large
borrower from the bank at the time
Spadld ng was elected treasurer OF the
university, and that he continued to
be large borrower from the bank
during the term of Office, and when the
bank failed he was in debt to the bank
very largely. There was also consid-
erable amount of Unity stock and Og-
den Gas stock belonging to Governor
tltgeld in the bank as collateral secur-
tiles at par value, and the committee
ind that the Unity stock was not worth
to exceed so cents on the dollar, and
that the Oslen Gas stock had no COM
mel cial value. The committee believe
that the condition of the bank was
known to Governor Altgeld, and that
Hr. SpauldiDg was elected treasurer
very largely for the purpose of losning
! rye sums of money to the governor
sud to persons connected with that
bank, and even to persons who are
members of the board of trustees of
lhe university.

Dry Kilns Burnsd.

Friday night, at 9:3O O'Clock, fire
was discovered in the drying kilns of
the Woodwork Lumber Company, one
mile below Monroe. When the fire
was first discovered it was thought it
could be easily controlled, as every
preparation to fight fire had been
made. The elevated tanks surround
ing the mill property we're full OF
water and hose were Immediately at
tached, stream of water was playing
on the fire, and when the fire was
nearly under control the couplings
broke, and about the same time stiff
breeze sprung up, which famed the
flames, and before many minutes all
the kilns were on fire, burning over
GOO, 900 feet of lumber, twenty-four
kilns and half-mile of tramway. The
loss is estimated at $40, 200, with not a
cent OF insurance. 1t has not been
much over year when the same par
ties lost their entire plant by fire, en-
failing loss of $25, ZOO.

lost Diamond Fltlds Found.

1t is reported from the State oi
Guerrero, Mex, that the lost diamond
fields there have been rediscovered
As far back as 1892 some Indians
brought from that state specimens of
what they called "crystal chips" and
presented them to Gen. Vicente Guer-
rero, who had them examined, discov-
ering that they were valuable dis-
monds, which were equal to the best
Indian diamonds from Golconda.
Traces Of the beds we're lost, and it is
now believed they have been found
again. There is much interest in the
matter at the city of Mexico, and there
are predictions that the new diamond
fields are equal to those in South
Africa.

Cotton Compress for Sale.

The Alexandria Compress and Ware
house Company has offered their plant
for sale, owing to the estates of E. B.
Wheelock and Richard Herrick, of
New Orleans, owning the controlling
interest and refusing to lease, and it
has been freely stated that unless they
sen the compress will not be operated
the coming season. The city of Alex
andria leased the land for n nety-nine
years, and donated s., 900 and exemp-
tion from taxation for ten years, and a
contract was made for them to keep
the compress running every year, so
this afternoon A. B. Rachal, acting
mayor, wrote to q. M. Greene, of New
Orleans, president of the compress
company, asking him to refer to the
contract made between the city of Al
exandria and his company, and if it
was true that they did not intend to
operate the same, and did not do so,
the contract would be considered null
and void, and they would be required
to move all buildings off the ground.
