Leroy Harris, who was indicted for forg-
ing postoffice orders in Valparaiso, in 1896,
has been arrested in Joliet, ILL.,, on the ex
piration of sentence he was serving in the
prison at that place, and will be arraigned
before the Federal Court of this city. Har
ris has a remarkable record as a forger of
postoffice orders. At one time he imper-
sonated a postoffice inspector, and, intro
ducing himself to the postmaster of Norton
Heights, Conn.,. directed him TO close up
the money order department of his Office.
The postmaster, being busily engaged with
customers in his store, allowed Harris to
check up the business of the postoffice and
take away. with him all the money order
blanks and other stationery. Harris went
to New York, filled out forty or fifty of
the blanks for 500 each, payable to himself,
and sent them to various postoffices over
the country. He then started out on col
Letting tour, but was finally captured at
Buffalo. When brought before United
States commissioner he drew revolver,
and. holding everybody at bay. backed out
of the door, locked it on the outside and
escaped to Canada. Subsequently he was
arrested at Niagara Falls and sentenced to
Joliet for five Years.

University Fund Tied Up.

The last Legislature provided that the
permanent endowment fund of the State
University should be apportioned among
the counties of the State and loaned by the
county auditors in the same manner as the
common-school fund. The law. however
is not being carried out, there being a num-
Der of serious errors in it. The state treas
urer is directed by ii to call in the loans
made from the fund, but that official did
not make the loans. The state auditor,
under the circumstances does not feel in
clined to reloan the money belonging to the
cumulate pending some construction of the
law. The university. in the meantime,
will lose considerable interest money. The
amount of cash on hand now belonging to
the fund is SIS 600.

He Is Innocent.
AND SICK UNTO DEATH

Winfield, March 13.-Friends of Joe
Miller, the Winfield young man who is
in Jail in New Orlenas charged with
possessing counterfeit money are MAX
ing a desperate effort to save him from
the penitentiary-
Miller on the 24th of February. was
sentenced to serve five years in the
Columbus, Ohio. penitentiary The
same sentence was given to B. A Dav-
idson, the former Paducah, Kentucky,
dry goods clerk, indicted and convicted
on the same charges along with Miller.
The indictments against these two men
were for possessing counterfeit and at
tempting to pass it. 1t was charged
that they attempted to pass the bad IS
bills here in New Orleans and a guam
titY OF bad silver certificates of the de-
nominatiOn of five dollars was found in
the room of lodging house occupied
by them in a Valise, which was alleged
to have belonged to Miller. Miller and
Davidson came to this city tOget her
from Fort Worth, Texas, and were oc-
time of their arrest.
A friendly newspaper man writes
from New Orleans as follows: Miller
has left only 16 days in which IN work
for a pardon. That is. if he appeals to
the higher courts he must do SO by the
24th. If he gets a pardon he must get
II before he makes an appeal. Miller is

Miller would live long. L have heard
others say the same thing, among whom
was Sheriff Tniake. have not the
least doubt that if some prominent
Kansan would go to Washington and
get to work in the right way, a pardon
could be obtained for Miller within a
week. OF two things am certai,l-one
is that Miller is innocent. the other, if
he is sent to the penitentiary he will
