She vowed that she would never trust
Another mortal man,

Well, l am sorry, Nan,
But you know you always told me
You had no love for me
And so l thought I'd tell you
OF my wife that is to be-"
You know her. and l hoped that you
Would be our dearest friend
did not dream your anger would
Upon me thus descend
When as she answered me her eyes
burned holes straight through my skin.

You say 1 am a liar

And, Mamie dear, remember that
You promised you would be

It takes the best sarsaparilla root

from Honduras, G. A., and the DR..

Claude Matthews was a native Of
Kentucky, having been born at Bethel,
in the blue grass state, in 1915. He
passed his boyhood as a farmer lad,
but at the age Of IA went away to
Daryille, Ky, to get an education. He
studied several years, with the deter
mination to become a lawyer, but
later abandoned this purpose. In
1868 he removed to Indiana, purchased
a large farm in Clinton county, and
married the daughter and only child
Of Ex-Governor and eX-United States
Senator James Whitcomb. \ little
later he removed to farm in Yer

farmer. In 1890 Mr.. Matthews came
before the public as candidate for
office, having been nominated for sec
rotary Of state by the democrats of
Indiana. He was Sected by a ma
jority OF nearly 10000, the largest that
had been given any candidate in the
state for many years. His incumbency
in this Office, which he held for a
term Of two years, was s:gnalized by
his success in getting the assessed
valuation of railroad, telegraph, and
other corporate property in the state
at s160.000,000 instead of $50, 900, 900
at it had been valued at Heretofore.
In 1892 after being urged by many Of
his democratic friends to accept a
nomination as governor, Mr.. Matthews
yielded three days before the conven-
ton was held, was nominated and
later elected. His plurality over all
other candidates was nearly 1000.
His administration was signalized by
vigorous and successful campaig
against gambling and prize fighting
which were practically put an end tC
in Indiana. He was a free silver maj
and took an active part in the cam
paign of 1896, speaking for the nomi
nees of the Chicago convention.

STOLE ALL THE DEPOSITS.

Minneapolis, Aug. 30.-A Preston,
Mimi, special says: NJ. R. Todd, the
cashier who wrecked the Fillmor
county bank, has confessed the theft
of all the banks deposit funds, to NJ.
T. Grattan, one of his bondsmen.
Grattan told Todd that a lynching was
imminent uness he made a full state
ment. Overcome by fear he confessed
that just prior to the banks assign
ment he had taken all the money on
deposit and delivered it in La Crosse,
Wis. The La Crosse authorities have
been asked to arrest the other man
implicated and further developments
are expected. 1t develops that Todd
is forger, spurious note having
turned up in the bankers paper. A
note given,b by the Presbyterian church
of which Todd was treasurer was pal
and Todd said he had destroyed it.
The note now turns up as collateral
in a La Crosse bank. Todd seems to
have completely looted the bank and
his mother-in-law's large estate. The
feeling against him is bitter, almost t
the point of violence.

Capt. Duncan Arrested for Despoiling
Resting Places of Confederates.

Washington, Aug. 30.-Captain
Louis C. Duncan, surgeon of the 22nd
Kansas regiment, is held by the sheriff
of Fairfax county, Va, to answer an
Indictment charging him with desc
Grating confederate graves at Bull
Run, near Manassas. 1t appears that
Duncan was not sentenced to five
years Imprisonment, as reported from
Camp Meade, Pa, but escaped much
more lightly, there being a lack of
evidence to prove that he actually
took part in the despoiling Of the
graves. The finding of the court
martial, approved by General Davis,
was that Duncan be deprived of his
rank for two months, be confined in
the regimental camp, and forfeit half
his pay for the same length Of time,
and that he be reprimanded by the
commanding general. How Duncan
is to be confined in the regimental
camp for two months, when prisone
III Fairfax county, is difficult to under
stand. His regiment has moved from
Thoroughfare Gap to Camp Mead, Pa
1t is understood that when the sheriff
presented his warrant for him unde

lily surrendered. A clash between the

ment may develop.

WHITE WILL SERVE
CHIEF JUSTICE TO BE PEACE
COMMISSIONER.
FULL FIVE NOW CHOSEN
Day viii Go to Canton at Once to
Make Preparations for His Trip to
Paris-John Moore to Be Secretary
and J. r. Macarthur Assistant
Secretary of Commission.

Washington, Aug. 27.-The cabinet
Friday discussed matters which will
come before the peace commission.
Secretary Day announced that the five
members of the commission had been
selected-Secretary Day, Senac ors
Davis and Frye, Justice White and
Whitelaw Reid.
Another matter before the cabinet
was the Cuban and Porto Rican tar
ifs on butter, oleomargarine and
butterine. Under the Spanish law
butter paid a duty of six cents a
pound and butterine was prohibited.
1t was decided to fix rate of three
cents per pound in Porto Rico and
one and one-eighth cents in Cuba.
Butterine, moreover, will be required
to be stamped as such. A telegram
from Secretary Alger at Montauk
Po.nt said that the situation there
was reasonably satisfactory.
Secretary Day arranged to leave for
Canton today in rider to make per-
sonal preparations for his trip to
Paris. He will be accompanied by
Mrs. Day, who has entirely recovered
from her recent illness. The follow
ing attaches of the peace commission
have been selected and will be ap
p inted by the president: John
Moore, Massachusetts, now assistant
secretary of state, to be secretary Of
the commission; J. r. Macarthur,
New York, to be assistant secretary.
Macarthur was ftrmerly first secre-
tary of the United States legation at
Madrid and is now on special duties
at the state department. He has had
considerable experience in work OF
d plomatic nature.
