He Burned Up the Money.

From the Detroit Free Press.
There ia a good story in the history of
the Highlow National Bank said d.
rector Of the institution, who was convers-
ing with a newspaper friend.
Our organization of that institution was
looked upon as a somewhat questionable
event proves that we were equal to the I'M
dertaklng. One of the first things was TO
create confidence. To this end we inter-
ested as many solid farmers as we could,
and then chnched the matter by appointing
the rural stockholders to select q presi-
dent. AS matter of course, he was one
Of their own number, and notice OF the
honor conferred upon him was sent as q
Christmas token.
This farmer president was as honest as
the day is long. but his special fitness for
the position open to question. We re-
ceived from Washington a lot of bills,
which as you know. had to be signed by
the cashier and the president. The cash.
Ter affixed his signature and then sent the
uncut sheets to the president. who took off
his coat. stirred up the CRATE fire. and
rolled up his sleeves preparatory to the
unusual task placed before him. He
scratched away for hours, and finally re-
turned the sheets to the cashier. The
prudent official soon discovered there were
bills missing to the amount of about $500
but inferred that the president had charged
the amount to himself and said nothing.
After waiting till the new year called for
a statement, the cashier directed the at
tention Of the president to the discrepancy.
Jest send me some more said the
president. I made bad fist on some of
them bills and chucked them into the
fire."

guns for the French artillery are being
provided at cost, including 1000 rounds
OF ammunition for each, Of e. 0UO per gun
Up till January 1 this year 800 guns were
completed. with their due proportion of
proJectiles. There will be enough guns in
being before the end of the current year
to arm all the corps artillery. and the
whole OF the artillery will be rearmed be-
fore the end of 1889
The French have satisfied themselves
that. for effect. two of these guns are equal
TO whole six-gun battery of field guns.
with margin to spare. Nevertheless the
superior council of war has decided that
each battery shall. as heretofore consist
OF SIX pieces. Thus the effective oower NJ
the French artillery will be at least tripled
by the adoption OF the quick-firing guns.
In view of this decision 1t has been re-
solved that each gun shall have not one.
but two ammunition wagons, which will
not remain In the rear. as in the case of
the field batteries. but will come I'D with
the guns into action. This involve. the
increase Of thirty-six horses for each bat
terry.
1t must be remembered, first, that the
problem OF supplying ammunition in the
held is made immensely more difficult by
this new departure; and, secondly that
neither France nor Germany has adopted
machiEe-guns as We have DONE These two
facts enter materially into the question
OF the change from field guns to quick
firing guns.

Oresona sends Its Carp East.

From the Portland OregOntan.
At last a market has been found for
carp, and II It only proves adequate to the
supply which can be furnished, the number
of carp in this section will socn be reduced.
Mr.. Reeder of Sauvie's Island says there
are now three men fishing for carp in the
outlet of Sturgeon lake, and they sell their
catch to a dealer in Portland for two cents
per pound, to be frozen and shipped east.
If the fish find a ready market and the sale
increases there will soon be many more
persons fishing for them.
When the water is rising the carp rush
Gp the river into the lake, and when the
water begins to fall the sagacious fish rush
out again. They are caught in bag or purse
nets set in the outlet OF the lake, and by
turning the nets around as the flow of the
water changes they are caught 'a-connin'
or a-gwine."
The lake and sloughs on Sauvie's Island
are swarming with carp, and there Is no
end to the quantity that can be taken.
Carp grow to weigh forty pounds or more,
and 1t Is said that some weighing forty
pounds have been seen in Sturgeon lake,
but the largest seen in the market here
weighed a little over twenty-five pounds.
If the eastern people will eat carp. they
can have all they want at low rates from
this section.

Dartmouth College has just come into
possession Of a rare gold medal struck by
Congress in 1914. 1t Is one OF few medals
presented by the President to certain gen.
erals Of the war Of 1912. This particular
medal was given to Brig. Gen. James Mil
Ter. and on one side bears the portrait Of
Gen. Miller. and underneath 1t his name
and the words. "I'll try" On the other
side are recorded the resolution Of Congress
and the battles for which the medal was
given. The battles recorded are: Chippewa.
July s. 1914; Niagara, July %. 1914, and
Erie, September II. 1914. It il mounted on
q wooden base made out Of timber from
the hulk of the frfgate Constitution. The
medal weighs about eight ounces and a
half, and commercially alone Is worth about
500. The medal has for a long time been
in the possession Of the Prescott family Of
Brookline snd has just been given to the
college by Miss Ruth Prescott. whose father
was a gradr ate Of Dartmouth. The fact
that Daniel Webster, graduate of Dart

A REVOLUTION IN GUNS.
French and German Armies Re
Armed.

Some little time as"-we think in July,
1s97-the German Emperor invited the mill
tary attaches to breakfast, and after the
rApast told them IL was no use keeping 1t
secret any longer. but the German army
had had its artillery changed without any
thing being known about II. No fewer
than five army corps had up till then been
armed with the new gun. quick-fring
weapon made by krupp, and by the mid
Ole of the present year all the field guns
will have been replaced by quick-frtng
guns capable Of throwing ten to twelve
shells a minute TO great distance as
the field guns and with higher destructive
power in their shells. How well the secret
was kept may be understood from the
fact that Krupp employs 1000 workmen
end that several powers try to spend large
sums in Germany to obtain military. and
naval intelligence.

INGALLS, FINDS LOST FRIEND.
Man Who Disappeared From Kansas
33 Years Ago Lives in Georgia.

Nam Who Disappeared From Kansas
S3 Years Ago Lives in Georgia.
From the Atlanta Journal.
The visit of ex-United States Senator John
J. Ingalls, of Kansas to Macon two days
ago brought to light story Of the tdenti-
fication in the person Of Capt. w. W. An
derson OF jackson, Ga, as Francis Marion
Iceland who mysteriously disappeared
from Mr.. ingalls, home town in Kansas
thirty-thres years ago. The story Is a
strange one, and will be read by hundreds
of friends Of Capt Anderson throughout
the state.
Capt. Anderson is a prominent attorney
of middle Georgia, and he has resided at
Jackson many years. He has never spoken
of his former life in Kansas, and the rev.
elation of his career there and mysterious
disappearance. and now his Identification
by Senator Ingalls,, lends additional inter-
est and color to the story.
Mr.. Ingalls, was in a reminiscent mood
while talking to a reporter of the Macon
Telegraph last Sunday, and in telling
stories of Kansas he related the history OF
a man who formerly lived In Atchison and
who was prominent lawyer there. He
was known as Francis Marion Iceland.
and he said he was from Perry. Ga He
had big law practice, and had accumu-
lated about $4,000 in property and money
during the time Of his residence in Atchf-
shocked one day to hear that Mr.. Leland
Lad been drowned while attempting to
cross a frozen creek. He doubted the story
told by a man who had been engaged to
carry the lawyer to another town. but
there was no way to establish the fact OF
Mr.. Leeland's disappearance. and the story
of the driver of the conveyance was ac-
cepted. Years brought no news Of Iceland,
end mis- property was left without proper
and legal guardian.
Mr.. Ingalls, had no idea of ever hearing
of bis friend Iceland again, and 1t was
only In casual conversation that he men,
toned the incident. Inquiry was made at
Perry Ga, but no such lawyer as Iceland
Rad ever been known there. But the de-
scription Of Iceland by Senator Ingalls, was
20 appropriate to Capt. Anderson of Jack
con, Ga, that friends of the latter suspect
cd that the two men were one and the
same. It was recalled that Capt An
derson had mysteriously disappeared from
Georgia In the sixties, and that q few years
later he had az mysteriousiy returned. He
declined to say where he had been, and his
friends knew nothing of his life in Kan
sas.
Yesterday Capt. Anderson was confront
ed with the story OF the life Of Leland,
and he L. quoted a. having admitted that
he Is the same man who lived In Atchieon
as Iceland. He Is now about seventy years
cid. but 10 stiil active and practicing law.
He had always been regarded a. eccentric,
and his friends are not surprised to hear

attention of the court of appeal 1t took the
form of an application by Mr.. Wells to
have the decision of the divisional court
directing a new trial In the case OF Ash
worth versus Wells set aside on the ground
that the original judgment was right and
ought to be affirmed. Mr.. Wells in 1875
sold by auction in London his valuable col
lection of orchids. Among those who at
tended the sale was Mr.. Ashworth, we'll
known orchid enthusiast. and the possessor
of a collection valued at something like
100000. One of the lots that Mr.. Ash
worth purchased was described In the cata-
Iogue as "Cattelya aclandiae alba. seven
bulbs, three leaves-the only known plant,
and 1t was knocked down to him for twenty
guineas. After two years careful culture
the plant produced not an alba, or white
flower, in which case its value would have
been very great. but a purple one, showing
1t to be a merely plebeian plant, worth at
most two or three dollars. It was not dis
puted that the description In the catalogue
was a warranty that 1t was an alba. and
the defendant simply contended that the
plaintiff had no right to claim special dam
ages This was the view taken OF the mat
ter by the judge by whom the case was or
igfnally heard. He accordingly directed
Mr.. Wells to pay Mr.. Ashworth the orig
inal 20 guinees he had given for the plant

of the queer life and history of the man in

Kansas.
An effort was made to bring about a
meeting between Senator Ingalls, and Capt.
Anderson, but as the captain was at
Butts county superior court yesterday, the
two failed to meet. Tomorrow Mr.. Ingalls,
will pass through Jackson on his way to
Brunswick, and he has telegraphed Capt.
Anderson to meet him at the train. There
seems to be no doubt of the fact that Capt
Anderson is the same man who lived IN
Kansas, and every fact in connection with
the case convfnces Mr.. ingalls, that the
man is the same who practfced law In
Atchison, and who went away and left
many thousand dollars worth of property.
That was more than thirty years ago, and
Capt Anderson could not secure possess
sion of his property now should he decide
to return to Kansas. Ii is said.
