tharges against the United States
government surveyor accusing him
of accepting bride from Zane and
running a false line, which was the
cause of the murder.
The murder occurred over a di-
vision line between Wallace's and
Zane's land, in the Wyandotte Indi.
an reservation, near Seneca. Wal
lace's brothers are confident he was
in the right, and the matter will be
presented either before the interior
department or government at Wash
ington. and the government asked
10 have another official survey
made. The last survey was made
several years ago, and it is claimed
that the surveyor who changed the
line al that time did so at the sug.
gestion of Zane. The attorneys and
brothers of Wallace are confident a
new survey will show this TO be a
fact, and the president will be asked
to give Wallace pardon.
The murder occurred in March
1895. and in the United States court
at Fort Scott Judge John A Will
liams sentenced Wallace to be
hanged August ~, 1895. His attor-
neys, however, secured for him n
new trial, which resulted in his con-
viction of manslaughter. Wallace's
wife, daughter of the murdered
man, remained true to her husband
throughout all his troubles, and il
was largely through her efforts that
he was granted "a new trial. She is
an Indian, but fairly educated, and
is now employed in Leavenworth SO
she can be near her husband.-Jop-

HARD ON LOAN BROKERS.

Topeka, Kas., Jan. 2S.-The PoPu-
lists have sprung the old bill OF
1891, to require the recording OF as
signments of real estate mortgages
aud the judiciary committee of the
house will report il for passage TO-
morrow. The object of this is to
kill off loan brokers. The Popu-
lists want Il SO arranged that If they
want to renew or pay off mortgages
on their farms, they can deal direct
with the holder of the mortgage
and not be required TO do business
with a broker. Under the present
system they don't know who holds
their mortgages, and the brokers
will not tell them.

ton from high barometer and cold.

Marriage Made Cheap.

Topeka, Kas., Jan. Ex-senator
Householder of Cherokee county
has introduced a bill TO encourage
marriage. The way he proposes to
do Il Is to reduce the fee for the Is
suance of q marriage license from
81 to 65 cents. The Populist sena-
tore will no doubt pass the measure
as the most of them have sons who
are anxious to enter that state
known as double blessedness, but
who have delayed action on account
of the tremendous expense of &C.
curing a license.

CHICAGO BANK QUITS.
Dime Savings Bank With 10000
Deposito-s to Close Its Doors.

Chicago. Jan. 9.-The Dime Savings
bank, with its 10000 depositors, one of
the oldest savings banks in Chicago,
will go out of existence before the expi-
ration of the 80 day notice, which has
been required of depositors since the
suspension of the National Bank of IL
linois.
Edwin Walker, the attorney repre-
senting the stockholders and directors,
said today that only two things were
certain.
First-The depositors would not lose
a dollar in the institution.
Second-It would not be continued as
it had been.
At the bank little money is being paid
out on account of the 80 days notice re
quired before the deposits can be with
drawn The rule is relaxed only to
people who are in serious need of their
money. Deposits have dropped to al
most nothing. It is said the bank has a
reserve fund of % per cent OF It's de-
Dosits but while the other savings
banks have removed the 80 days no
tice. it has not been thought wise to
do so at the Dime Savings on account
of the impending change in its affairs
