Government, which caused the present
agitation, reveals a romance with the
''gang" Of so-called journalists" and
stock jobbers who beset the late Max
Lehaudy, the millionaire ccnscript.
The plot, it would further seem, was
conceived in 1898, when the wave OF
"Jew batting swept over Europe. Drey-
fus is Of Jewish extraction, and these
jackals of Partisan society, casting about
for funds, determined to "bleed this

is said to have acted as the go-between
in these sactions.
By invitation Dreyfus was frequent
visitor to her house. In due course OF
time the plan for the mobilization OF the
French army, which had been drawn UP
in a handwriting which cleverly initiated
that of Dreyfus, was produced ana money
was demanded for it's surrender. Drey
fus. however, it is said, refused TO pay
the sum demanded, knowing that the pur-
chase Of the document would be an au-
mission of his guilt and would FURNISH
Ground for future extortion, and belns

FIRST BLASTS OF WINTER.
Snow Storm of Great Severity Sweeps
Over Nebra ska.

Snow Storm of Great Severity Sweeps
Over Nebra ska.
A snowstorm of great severity swept
over Nebraska Thursday night. The
weather was mild all day, with drilling
rain. Toward evening the mercury drop
ped to almost zero and a gale from the
northwest swept the fine particles of snow
in every direction. Not great quantity
of snow fell, but what there was piled
in huge drifts, impeding all kinds of
traffic.
In the extreme western part Of the State
a regular blizzard prevailed, and great
damage is threatened to stock interests.
This is due to the fact that the grass Is
covered with a hard coating of ice,
through which it will be quite difficult for
cattle to break in order to secure food.
The great damage from the storm comes
from the menace to the stock interests.
The many thousand sheep being fed in
the State are in particular danger. Still,
as long as the herds are housed, which
is the case with most Of the large
punches, great damage will not occur.
The open range is the place where the
greatest loss will be certain.

Fingers as Food.

At the saloon Of Joseph Janecks in Mil
waukee, where julius Boroff has peen
boarding, Boroff became suddenly insane,
and, unobserved by anyone, amputated
three fingers of his right hand, placed
them on a plate, left them on the coun-
ter and walked away. When Martin
Zarich picked up one as a choice morsel
ten minutes later and discovered what
it was he was Mortified. Search was made
for the author of the grisly Joke and
Boroff was found, weak with loss of
blood. He has been committed to an i'll

When summoned before an Investigate

Clerk Weinfurther broke down and con-
fessed that he had committed irrcgulari-
ties while in office and begged the COM
mittee to allow him to make good the
amount without criminal prosecution.
The committee found in November and
December, 1896, the last two months of
Weinfurther's term, which the present
clerk, who unearthed the Irregularities of
his predecessor had refused to settle for,
a shortage of over $500.

TWO LARGE PLANTS.
Beet Sugar to be Made at Rodeo
and Crockett.

OAKLAND, Aug. 22-The manufac-
ture of beet sugar will be an important
industry in Alameda and Contra Costa
Counties during the coming year Two
large plants will be put in operation
very shortly, one at Crockett, as an
nounced few days ago, and the other
company that will operate these plants
with a capital of 81, 500, 900 are: A. w.
Starr, A. D. Starr, N. d. Rideout, AL
fred Bannister, Justice B. Greeley and
Albert Miller. Senator Perkins and
George w. McNear are interested in the
company.

purpose originally intended. The mag
nificent equipment, costing 81 900 900,
has been standing idle for about five
years. The second is Starr & Co s -four
ing mill at Crockett. The flour machin-

SEATTLE, Aug. 22.-The Board of
Inquiry on the wrecking of the steam
ship Mexico in Dixon's entrance Thurs
day morning, August 9th, has revoked
the pilots papers of Captain Thomas,
master of the steamer, and suspended
him for sixty days. The papers of
Pilot Connell, who was on the bridge
at the time of the disaster have been
revoked for period of thirty days
1t is stated on good authority that
the board found that the blame lay
with Captain Thomas, who had retired.
1t was held that he should have been
on deck, and especially as he had
placed his vessel in a dangerous posi-
ton. Further it was found that the
rock on which the steamer struck was
West Devils Neck and was therefore
known to the navigating officer of the
Mexico and that he should have taken
care TO keep his vessel out of the way
Captain Thomas pilots papers in Alas
ka waters are revoked entirely and his
masters papers are suspended for thir-
ty days. Captain Thomas had been

WASHINGTON, Aug % = The
Post tomorrow Will print a story to
the effect that the authorities of the
United States Soldiers Home in this
city have unear5 he'd what seems to be
a conspiracy to defraud the home of
funds held in trust for the heirs of SOL
diers who have died in the institution.
II is asserted that a local attorneys
firm, whose name IS not given, have in
several cases applied for letters of ad-
minislration On pension money left in
trust to the home.
enc specific case is cited that of
AIiney A Brown of Detroit, Mich, an
alleged beneficiary of one John Smith, a
soldier in a white regiment of the Union
army. Upon investigation, the Brown
woman proved to be a negress, although
the papers filed in the case stated that
she was niece of the deceased She
declared upon examintion that she knew
nothing Of the merits of the case in
which her affidavit had been used, fur
Their than that she was to divide the
proceeds with the people securing her
the money. The letters Of adminstra-
tion were revoked, and the money sub
sequently returned to the home.
The authorities Of the institution, 1t
is asserted. are satisfied that a further
investigation will show other improper
conversions Of the home funds in SINH

standing that the disengaged tonnage
