TAKEN BY SURPRISE.
Government officials are LookingInto
Banking Methods in Dakota.

st. Paul, Mimi, March pa Bis
marck, N. D., special to the Pioneer
Press says:
The banking methods of some of the
suspended national banks of the state
are being investigated by the United
States grand jury now in session. Two
indictments have already been found,
one against L. E. Booker, ex-trea surer,
and president of Grand Forks National
bank, and the other against H. F. Sal
yards, president of the National bank
of Minot.
Booker is charged with making false
returns to the comptroller of the cur
rency. He was arraigned today, plead
ed not guilty and was held for trial
in $4,000 bonds. Salyards is charged with
aiding and abetting in making false en-
tries in the banks books. He pleaded
not guilty and was held in $4,000 bonds
for trial.
The indictment of Booker came as a
great surprise to his friends throughout
the state He was state treasurer for
three years, entering office in 1898, and
has always taken an active part in
state politics.

FORGED CHECKS ON HER.
Famous Burlesque Star Victim of
Onscrupulous Persons.

Chicago, March 25.-Vernona Jarbeau
the actress, who is stopping at the Au-
ditorium Annex, has been made vic
tim of some unknown forger for the
past three weeks.
For over three weeks Miss Jarbeau's
name has been forged on checks order
ing meals and supplies. Not until a
week ago did the actress discover that
something was wrong with her &C
counts. She at once called in Mr.
Southgate and an investigation was
started. Each of the employees of the
Annex hotel was called into the pri-
vate office and required to write Miss
Jarbeau's name. By this plan it was
hoped that the guilty party would be
caught
According to Miss Jarbeau's state
ment she has long been a victim. 1t
has been her custom during her stay
at the hotel to sign her order checks in
person. Her signature is very pc
culiar and she ends it up after writing
the one name 'Jarbeau' with elaborate
f1ourisheS When she received her bill
for last weeks room rent and board
she noticed that the amount was extra
large. 1t was the same the week be-
fore.
She asked that her checks might be
sent her and soon discovered that
twelve of them were forged. The money
represented was over 500 and called for
wine and elaborate meals. She request
ed Mr.. SOuthgate to call at her room
and he at once said that the signatures
were fOrgeries. The clerks and the
cashiers were called in and an attempt
to trace the checks was made. In the
meantime Mr.. Southgate had deducted
the overcharge from the bill, and, tell
ing Miss Jarbeau he was sorry for the
mistake, he said he would find the
guilty party.
Il do not like anything to appear in
print that will injure the hotel" said
Miss Jarbeau. This same thing has
happened to me before, but in another
hotel, and I know of a number of other
cases in hotels of the same kind can
not attach any blame to the Annex
management

COFFEE FROM COLORADO.
Experiments Made With a Species of
Pea Which is Said to be
Good Substitute.

Denver. March 25.-That Colorado
may eventually become the source of a
coffee supply for the country is not so
wild a proposition as it may seem a t
first blush. Through a series of ex-
perimentS at the state agricultural coll
lege, a wild pea has been so tanned that
it gives a very good substitute for the
Brazil bean. 1t is known as the Idaho
coffee pea, owing to its having been
found in that state growing in rank
profuSion.
The plant is a native of Idaho, where
it grows wild. its fruit being used main
ly as a substitute for coffee, an infu-
sion of the leaves having been used for
generations by the Shoshones before
they ever had any knowledge of the i'm
ported article. Settlers who invaded the
west in the sixties gave the plant the
name of coffee pea" for want of a bet
ter expression. Scientifically, it is the
Cicer areitinum, and is said to grow wild
in some parts of Europe.

J. w. ADY WELL PLEASED.
Transmissouri Freight Association
Decision Suits Him.

Colorado Springs, Col, March %
Colonel J. w. Ady of the law firm of
Ady & kinsley of this city is more than
pleased over the decision rendered in
the suit of the United States govern
ment against the Transn1issouriF Freight
association. The decision in effect
takes from the roads the right to pool
their interests where it is proposed to
suppress trade. 1t is a decision of
great Importance, especially to the
west.
Colonel Ady was United States dis
trict attorney under the Harrison ad-
ministratiOn for eastern Kansas, and
drew up the complaint against the COM
bined railroads. His attention had
been called at various times that the
railroads were in pool and We're dis
eliminating against various western
cities.
The city of Wichita, Kan, at that
time was making a vigorous attempt to
build up a jobbing trade, but was seri-
ously handicapped by the action of the
railroads, who Disseminated in favor
of rival points. Colonel Ady secured a
copy of the agreement, and after a
careful study of it decided that it's pro-
visions were in cOntravention OF the
antitrust law of 1890
Mr. Ady submitted his report to Unit
ed States Attorney General Miller and
obtained the latter's consent to enter
suit against the railroads. This suit
was filed January 8, 1892.
The decision rendered in the supreme
court is final.

L. M. CRAWFORD'S TAX.
a Matter that to Fair MindCertainly
Looks Unjust.

On next Monday Judge Hazen will
decide whether or not the city ordi-
nance imposing an occupation tax on
keepers of places of amusement, is val
id. The case of the city of Topeka
against L. NJ. Crawford, involving the
question of the validity of this ordi-
nance was argued in the district court
this morning and Judge Hazen took the
matter under Amusement until Monday.
A year ago Mr.. Crawford was arrest
ed for refusing to pay an occupation
tax on the Grand Opera House and the
Crawford Opera House in this city. He
was tried in police court, and ordered
10 pay the tax. This decision he APP
pealed from to the district court on the
ground that the ordinance was invalid.
To the Journal the ordinance seems
unjust in every particular. There is no
more reason why Mr. Crawford should
be fined for seeking to provide enter
tainment for the people of Topeka than
a grocery store or newspaper should
pay on Occupation tax"

A PERMANENT ssINDUSTRY'
Will be Made of Prize Fighting at
Carson.

San Francisco, March 25.-Despite the
fact that Dan Stuart's amphitheater at
Carson still remains intact, the citizens
of Reno are seriously considering the
adVisability of building another within
the four stone walls which were origin
ally erected for Jail
In addition to this building it is pro-
posed to erect hotel just outside the
Jail walls, where the fighters. trainers,
newspaper correspondents and fight fol-
lowers could put up. The arena and
hotel, if built, would cost about 100000.
The law partner of the United States
district attorney is in San Francisco for
the purpose of enlisting enthusiasm
and money for the formation of a syn
dictate to carry out this project. He
comes armed with the assurance of
support from business men from his
own town to organize a corporation,
having for its business the promotion of
prize fighting under the laws of Neva-
da. He had got SO far along with his
plans yesterday that he held a long
consultation with his architect, P. J.
Donahue, concerning the plan of the
arena.
