shot and killed himself last evening
when Imprisonment for confessed om'
bczzlement stared him in fho face. lie
had been married less than three weeks

Wright was collector for the f. p,
Collier Publishing company. He was
summoned TO Chicago from Clinton, Ia.
by T. b. Tobin, manager Of the western
branch Of the business, whose offices are
In this city.
When he appeared at the Office Of tho
publishing company he was confronted
with a declaration Of a shortage In his
accounts. He made complete comics.
sion 20 Manager Tobin and accounted
for part Of the missing funds by dcclar.
ing he had sent 500 to the aid Of his
brother Harry, who was collector for
the same firm, and connected with the
Toledo, o., branch. He said the money
was used to make good a shortage with
the company on the part Of his brother.
Manager Tobin estimated the shortage
a. about $1,000. Representatives Of the
United States Guarantee company,
which had furnished Wright a 500
bond. heard the confession. In con.
sultation that followed, the officers Of
the bond and publishing companies de-
cidcd the law must take its course.

GROWING OF GOLD.
The Mystery Explained by Chem
lists Experiments.

lists Experiments.
From the London Mail
1t is generally supposed that the mug
gets which are found In the river grav-
els of Klondike and other auriferous
regions have been brought down by
the rivers direct from the reefs Ii
which the gold originally lay
Many practical miners and scientific
men, however, have long been of opin-
ion that this cannot be the case, for no
masses Of gold of so large a size ara
ever found in the reefs themselves
They believe, on the other hand, that
the nuggets have grown where they
are now found, just as q crystal of salt
will grow In strong brine; but with
so insoluble a substance as gold it was
difficult to understand how such growth
could take place. Experiments carried
out in Australia have shown that de,
caying vegetable matter will cause the
gold salts, but these salts are moi
known to occur in reefs.
The mystery is now solved. A Slav-
onic chemist named Zzigmody has just
shown that gold itself can exist in a
soluble form. By acting on a slightly
alkaline solution of gold salt with
.formaldehyde and submitting the
product to dialysis he has succeeded In
obtaining gold in a collodal condition,
In which state 1t is soluble in water
and may be precipitated by the addi,
ton Of common salt. It is probable
that some Of the gold in quartz reefs
exists in this condition. 1t is washed
out by the rain, carried away in solu,
ton by the rivers, and deposited in the
river gravels wherever there is any,
thing containing salt to cause its pre-.
cipitation. In the course Of ages a
large nugget may in this way be form

who advised, or permitted, the sale Of
the PRISONS output Of Irvine to the
dealers, especially on q contract with
out penalty. He who Is responsible
for wrong is as guilty as the one
who commits the wrong. The farmers
are taxpayers; their money has been
used to facilitate the manufacture of
that which is an indispensable In the
harvesting of grain, and then to have
the product dickered away to dealers
who forget their contract and send up
the price Of twine Is certainly the
