Usage, La, Sept. S.-Another sensa
tional episode has occurred in the Pei
ton county treasury detalcation of six

was entered and the vault unlocked
with a key and the cash books of the
Pelton administration and the first two
years OF the present incumbent de-

RECEIVER FEIBLEMAN'S TRUST
JAY County Court Examining Report
Nf a Wheel Plant.

Judge Haynes, of the Jay County Circuit.
held a special session of court yesterday
afternoon to consider the report of Charles
B. Feibeman, of this city, as receiver of
the Haynes wheel works. The report
showed shrinzage of something over So
600 in the valuation of the stock, and the
creditors were dissatisfied with it.
Receiver Feibleman's explanation is that
when he took hold of the works last Feb
ruary knowing nothing of the value of the
stock of rims, spokes and wheels on hand,
he had the stock appraised by two ap-
praisers and accepted it at their appraise-
ment Upon these valuations the business
showed loss as it was conducted. He ap-
prsed the creditors of this fact and made
a reappraisement of the stock, using the
original invoices for the purpose. This
showed the difference in value noted and
demonstrated that the valuation made
when he took hold was too high. His son
said last night tn there was no shrink
age in the amount of the stock. All the
stock on hand and purchased since was
accounted for. as were all the funds and
receipts, but the difference lay in the fact
that the valuation of the appraisers was
higher than was justified by the original
invoices. The court took the case under
adYisement

NO CASE OF NEP0TISM
BOARD OF CHARITIES VISITS THE
EVANSVILLE INSANE HOSPITAL.
Fully ExOnerates the Governor in
Charges Made by the Democratic
Press-The Recent Removals.

At the request of Governor Mount the
State Board of Charities has made an in
vestigation of the matter Of removals and
appointments at the Southern Insane Hos
pital. The Governor urged upon the men,
bers that the investigation be searching
and diligent, and that the intimations con-
tanned in certain Democratic newspapers
charging him with nepotism be looked into
just as if he were not Governor of the
State. John r. Elder, Timothy Nicholson,
DR.. Mary Sphinx and Secretary Bicknell, of
the board, made journey to Evansville,
returning yesterday. They authorized the
following statement of the matter:
1.-THE Board of State Charities returned
last night from visit to the insane hos
at Jeffersonville While in Evansville
the board Inquired particularly concerning
the charge that the family or family affairs
of Governor Mount had been influential in
the making of appointments in the hospital.
AS the result of these inquiries the board
found that Governor Mount has never sig
nified in any manner desire to have any
relative or any other person appointed to
a position in the hospital but that he has
stated on several occasions, once to the
Board of State Charities that while he is
Governor no relative shall receive an APP
pointment to any position In the public in
Stitutions. The statement that the son of
Governor Mount is atfianced to niece of
DIR. Mason, the superintendent OF athe hos
pital, is true. From it's inquiries r1e board
is entirely satisfied that at the time DR..
Mason was appointed to the super1ntend-
ency Governor Mount was not aware OF the
relationship between his sons fiancee and
DIR. Mason and the board is unwilling to
believe that the men composing the board
of trustees of the hospital would nave been
moved by so petty and fiimsy a considera-
ton, even had they been familiar with all
the facts"
In conversation yesterday afternoon Sec
rotary Bicknell said: There have been
four removals and as many appointments
to take their places. OF these four APP
pointees two are Democrats. Whatever may
be the cause of the changes they certainly

Freight Car Ladder.

Harry Logan, a lad of about ten years,
was killed yesterday evening while riding
on cut of cars on the switch near
the Lilly varnish works. The boy was
clinging to the ladder on the side of box
car. As the car passed the platform which
extends out to the track from the varnish
works there was not room for the boy S
body and he was crushed to death. The
accident happened about o'clock and it
was nearly 10 o'clock before the body was
identified. At the time of the accident no
one recognized the boy. The body was tax
en- to the Kregelo morgue. Between and
10 o'clock some one telephoned the under
taker that Harry Logan was missing from
home and that his parents feared he was
the victim of the accident. a short time
later the boys father and three sisters
visited the mOrgue and identified the body.

How the Governor Settles CompIica-

All sorts of complications concerning the

Governors office, but Governor Mount has

THE MONEY ORDER SYSTEM.

The extension of the postal money order system, if carried out with the degree of good judgment that may be expected of the department, will find approval as a popular movement on the part of the administration. There is nothing of politics in this mater; it is simply business, and it looks to providing bus ss facilities for a great n any people who 60 mt enjoy them at present.
 The postal money order is the poor mans hank check These who are SO fortunate as to keep a bank account are few indeed compared with the oth- CTS; yet the facilities which the banks offer are often needed by many whose financial dealings are small and who cannot avail themselves ot the ser wees of banking corporations. For these the. government acts as banker, exacting fee so small as to be mere ly nominal, although large enough in the aggregate to produce a substant- ial revenue.
 In this system the government does not enter into rivalry with private en- terprise at any point, while supplying great public accommodation. If, as the general superintendent Is quoted as saying, the cost of main taining a money order office is only five cents a year-a statement whi h is astoni sh ;ng-there would seem to be no reason why the service should Ut be made prac ical1y universal

The Jerome Mining News makes the following pertinent remarks relative to the popocratic outcry against rail- roads in Arizona:
 "Why call the railroads 'taxless?' Every mile builded, every train pull. ed over every mic, every dollar pa to every employe, is doleful tax upon the groaning purses of stcckhold- CTS. Is there any record of bona fde dividend ever having been paid by any railroad between the Missouri rlver and the Tehachapi mountains? :? Perhaps these howlers and ranters would like to go back to the days of the bull teams and ten cents a pound freight. If so, tax the rail- roads and chill the boilers of every locomotive in Arizona Railroads in this sparsely settled country cannot bear the burdens imposed upon lines like the Pennsylvania system, the Bal timore & Ohio, the Nickel Pla e, and Vanderbilt roads. There is practi- cally no local traffic. They depend upon through business.

GOLD.

Between three and four millions in gold came into the United States from Europe last week. It has been coming in right along, and more is on the way.
