case with numerous complications
is on trial before Judge Adams in

John Ii. Johnson, exsheriff of
Wayne county, Missouri, is being
sued on his bond for an alleged in
fraction of the law. The suit de-
veloped that the courthouse of
Wayne county had burned down,
destroying books and papers, in
cluding the sheriff's bond. Mr.
Johnson claims that he has forgot
ten who his bondsmen were, and
as an excuse for his absentminded-
ness says that he was drunk for
four years. during which he held
the Office Of sheriff. Mr.. JohnsoD's
bondsmen, whoever they may be,
have not come to the front and re-
vealed their identity, and the court
is endeavoring to find out who they

speciaI Committee Report.

To the Jail committee elected by the citizens
OF Bollinger county, Missouri.
We, the undersigned committee, appointed
by the chairman of the said Jail committee 10
investigate for the information of the public
the record of cost bills in criminal cases, and
to ascertain the amount expended by the
county of Bollinger in the last past four years
for guard fees and transportation expenses
for prisoners for that time by the sherif1s of
said Bollinger county and report our finding
to this meeting, respectfully state that we
have made said investigation, as far as we
have been able in the short space of time
which we have had 10 do the work, and find
that the fees and expenses amounted to:
Marble Hill press. (Marbel [sic] Hill, Mo.) 1881-1923, 1897-10-28

Making an average of $842.7l per year for
said last four years, This statement includes
the guard fees and transportation expenses
of prisoners held by sheriff only. No fees or
expenses of guarding by constables, nor for
board, clothing or doctor bills for any prison.
er are included in this statement. And we
are confident that there are more expenses
and fees for guarding and transportation in
each Of the above stated years that we have
not been able to find or have overlooked in
our haste to get through the work, which
could be found were we required to make an
exact or certified statement OF said expenses
and fees for guards and transportation. We
further find that in 1898 and in 1894 the said
expenses weretgreatly in excess of the expen-
ses in the years..iS and 1896. We are able
to give at least two reasons Tor said excess,
which are as follows
1. In the years 1893 and 1894 there were
more crimina! cases or prosecutions and con-
vctons than in 1895 and 1896,
2. In the years 1893 and 1894 the prisoners
worked out their fines and costs upon the
public roads and were guarded while SO
working, which, in misdemeanor cases, run
the cost up in each case much more than in
1895 and 1896, when the prisoners were not
worked and guarded.
We are well satisfied that the average ex-
penses Of guards and transportation alone
for prisoners Tor the last past ten years will
not fall below 5000 per year, which expense
was all incurred for lack of jail.

KITES TOW A BUOY.
Queer Shaped Aerial Travellers Over
Lake Michigan.

Chicago, April 28.-Somewhere above
the bosom of Lake Michigan a green,
box-shaped kite is drifting aimlessly
along and towing large buoy. 1t is
large enough to be taken for an air
ship and its shape is of a character
weird enough to excite terror in the
souls of hardy mariners.
The kite was sent up yesterday aft
ernOon in company with another aerial
traveller. One was eight feet in length
and the other twelve. Buoys were at
tached to each. and precisely at 3:15
o'clock Arthur Harbert, who construct
ed the queer machines, set them loose.
The kites pulled their buoys through
the water at the rate of u miles an
hour, taking a course almost directly
southwark. Near Edgewater the small
er kite lost its hold upon the breeze and
fell into the lake. It's companion, how
ever. as it neared Chicago began to go
directly across the lake. The kite has
a message attached to it instructing the
finder to return it to Chicago telling
exactly where is was found.
Harbert had intended to sail the kites
across to the Michigan shore, but the
wind was blowing in an unfaYorable
direction

The office of the auditor is being re-

taken up in the auditors office and Mr..
Hewitt labored under the impression
that he had purchased it.

THE STATE PRINTER DEAL
n. ]. Albright Says He Has Proof of
One

Demands have been made through in
dividuals and by letter upon Governor
Leedy, for an investiga ton of the a1Ieg-
ed deal between State Printer Parks
and ". L. Brown of Kingman whereby
the latter was to receive one-third of
the profits of the office, in consideration
of the support which he gave to Parks,
assuring it is claimed, the election of
Parks which could not have been other
wise accomplished.
The governor has taken no action in
the matter but 1t has been presented TO
the legislative investigating committee
by Secretary Frank Grimes. Mr.. Grimes
did nothing further than to present to
the committee the following letter:
Julia, Kan, April rs, 1897.
Secretary Frank Grimes, Topeka
Dear Sir:-SOme time ago I wrote
Governor Leedy demanding an investi-
cation of the alleged deal between State
Printer Parks and W. L Brown of this
county. The governor gave me to un-
derstand that he would callfOr the same
and now I desire to formally call upon
your committee to thoroughly look into
this matter
I viii prove to the committee by un-
impeachable testimony that w. L.
Brown, in consideration of his throwing
votes enough to Parks to elect him. was
to have large sum Of money for so
doing.
I shall hold myself at the service of
the committee at all times and will give
the names of witnesses when called up
on to do so.
Trusting that your committee will
continue to uncover the rascals I re-
main. Yours respectfully
(Signed) NJ J. ALBRIGHT
A few weeks ago the rumor that such
a deal had been made was printed By
Kansas newspapers, appearing first in
the Journal Both parties to the agree
ment denied that such an arrangement
had beeen made and challenged proof
of the statements.
Mr.. Albright who wrote the above let
ter to Secretary Grimes is a Populist
and was interested in the investigation
of crOokedness in the sale of Kingman
county bonds to the state school fund
commissioners. He insisted upon
the investigation which was con-
Quoted by house committee,
and resulted in the exposure of the
transactions which were of such nature
as TO involve a number of prominent
persons in a scheme for profits at the
expense of the state.
