POSTAL INSPECTION SCANDAL
Head Of the Department Is Arrested
and an Investigation Is in
PROGRESS.

Washington, Aug. 31.-Thos. Nj. Ar
rington of North Carolina, for twelve
years an employee of the postoffice de-
partment, and until recently in charge
of the Washington division of post
office inspectors. was arrested here
yesterday afternoon charged with en-
bezzling government moneys. An in
vestigation of Arrington's accounts
has been in progress for some time,
and it is said resulted in the discovery
of a shortage of about So, OOO He was
released on 5000 bond.
Shortly after the beginning of the
present administration Postmaster
General Gary became convinced that
the business of the several divisions in
the inspection branch of the service
was being conducted on n very unsat-
~isfactory system. George b. Hamlet
of Ohio, for II long time special exam
inc of the pension bureau. was in
structed to make a thorough invests
CATION of all the divisions.
When he completed this work Ar
rington was removed and Hamlet
was appointed inspector in charge of
the Washington division. The system
of keeping the accounts. it is said,
made the inquiry that resulted in Ar
rington's arrest slow. but once COM
pletrd is showed. il is alleged, Il short
age of over $4,000. This embezzlement.
it is said at the department, has been
in progress over one year.
Meantime Colonel NJ. ID. Wheeler
chief inspector, was removed and sue
ceedcd by Mr.. Hamlet. a complete
o~verhanling of the postal inspection
system is expected. The postmaster
general. with the fourth assistant and
the chief inspector, now have this mat
ter under specinl consideration.

LEuTGERT TRIAL HAS BEGUN
Attorney for tho State Claim. That
lie Killed His Wife to Avoid
Rctrnt3i

Chicago, Sept. 1.-The jury in the
case of A.. j.. Lcut9ert, the sausage
maker, charged with having murdered
his wife aud hid the body in a soap
tank, having been completed Saturday,
the trial began in earnest this morn
ing. Popular interest in the case is
very great.
Assistant States Attorney McEwan
formally opened the case for the state.
He detailed the evidence which the
/ state would present, among other
points made being that Leutgert de
spised his wife and lived in the factory.
where other women visited him: that
he chokcd her on one occasion, which
led her to say, You need not kill me
as you did that man." Leutgert re-
piled she would not be allowed to be-
tray him.
At the close of the statement for the
state Attorney Vincent, for the de-
Tense, said no opening address would
be made for the present.
hi first witness was w. II. Haafe
of the city map department, who testi-
fled as TO the accuracy of the maps of
the Leutgert place and surroundings.
Dicdrich Bickners. brother of Mrs.
Leutgert, testified to talking with
Leutgert after his sisters disappear
ance. L%eutgert seemed quite indifcr-
cnt, but said lie had hired w dctcc-
tives to search for her. He had not
notified the police. He said if Bi,kners
would come around in a couple of
weeks he would tell him what he
learned.

TO HELP THE INDIANS
BY RENTING THE LAND
Mcconnell Has a Plan Which
He Thinks Will Help the
Red Men.
RENT THE INDIANS SURPLUS LAND
Gold Discovered ut Edgemont and
Much Excitement Is Cnuscd
Th%ereby---A Change In
Pastorates.

Chamberlain, Sept. agent Nc
Cornell of the Indian bureau, who re-
Gently visited Sisseton Indian agency
on official business, proposes to recom-
mend II plan to the interior depart
ment by which the surplus lands be-
longing to these Indians can be rented
and placed under n state of cultivation
in a way to be of benefit to the In
dams. His plan is to permit the lands
to be rented for a term of years
through the government agent or spe-
cial attorney delegated with proper
power for II reasonable percentage of
the crop grown each year. The renter
would be required to erect a fair sized
house and barn, a proportionate
mount of the cost of the buildings to
be deducted from the Indians share of
the crop each season, so that at the
expiration of the lease the buildings
would be paid for and become the
property of the Indian who owns the
particular tract upon which they are
situated.
1t is believed that some such plan.
with proper safeguards thrown around
it, would prove beneficial to the In
dams. Their wild lands would be

upon the expiration of the lease they
would have comfortable buildings to
move into to take up the work where
the white tenant had left off. Such Il
plan. it is also thought, would prove
of great benefit TO the country at
large, for, with a long lease, a desira-
BILE class of white farmers could be in
dnced to settle on the thousands OF
acres of Indian land which would 9th
erwise lie idle, but which would thus

wealth.
Those who are familiar with the
progress of these Indians say that sd
far as engaging successfully in agri.
cultural pursuits is concerned the Sis
setotn and Wahpeton Indians as a
whole are not so far advanced as they
We're ten or a dozen years ago, and un"
less some special inducements are held
out to them there is no immediate
prospect of their advancement.

reached the deck holly pursued by his
savage assailants. One of them had
meanwhile laid hold of the carving
knife from the table. AS the skipper,
badly wounded, struggled to get TO the

Iron felt, the new invention for re-

eussed in Germany. 1t is made of
woolen materials, impregnated with
the inventors patented preparation,
which gives 1920 pounds power of
resistance to every square centimeter

placed between the rails and the
sleepers, in which position it is said
to deaden the sound and prevent

tory. Not only was the noise brought

VALUE OF THE WHEAT CROP
An Instance Where 1t Is Worth
More Than the land.

Aberdeen, Aug. 31.-The wheat acre
age upon the Harris farm south of the

1889 bushels, or a small fraction UNI
der an average yield per acre of 10
bushels. The threshing was complet"
ed late Saturday afternoon, and the
figures are reliable. 1t was generally
conceded the grain would grade No. 1
northern and ii sold today would be
worth so cents per buslel, or a total
sum of $1,5ll.20. This amount would
be deemed to equal, if not to exceed,
the valuation of the entire quarter up

can be made to pay in this part of the
