MALFEASkNCE IN OFFICE.
U. 8. MARSHAL STAHL WILL HAVE TO
 ANSWER SOME GRAVE CHARGES
His Employs Say the MarhaI is Guilty of Robbins
 Uncle Sam.

His Employs Say the MarhaI is Guilty of Robbins Uncle Sam. U. s. Marshal Stahl is in peck of trouble, as will be shown by the fol- lowing article which we take from the Ft. Smith News Record of last Friday:
 Today it developed that a day or so ago there was forwarded to Washing ton six affidavits, some of which were made by government employees, charg- ing Marshal Stahl with malfeasance m office.
 It is alledged in these affidavits that the government was charged $l.75 per day for jurors in murder trials, which were quarter ed at the Rowland House. when in point of fact but D cents was paid. Iii also charged that charges have been made for service of men who never existed, that is, officially, and some of the jail officials have been paid for double time, and all of that sort of thing.
 l 1t lo dooCI OCd tubt 0udIO l1OOllGZclI, of the Federal jail. affixed his name to the affidavit, and Delivery Clerk Oneal has his name written at the bottom of another one. Those who are in the push, that is, pushing the matter along, say they expect an inspector here within the next five days and that then much will be laid bare which some of these interested would prefer should never see the light of day.
 Marshal Stahl. against whom all shots appear directed, was asked this morningi if he had anything to say regarding the charges which it was reported had been preferred against him and he very courteously replied:
 '1 have nothing to say. This office of mine is an open book. I is open for inspection of any one."
 With General Delivery Clerk Oneal of the postofice, the News Record man had the following rather highly sea- soned conversation:
 They say that you have affixed your name to an affidavit complaining of the administration of federal affairs in so far as Marshal Stahl's admins tration is concerned"
 s'I am delighted at having the honor of saying that you have been informed aright."
 "Does the complaint embrace bogus charges for feeding the jurors at the Rowland House?"
 cit does"
 And the charging up for services never rendered at the jail ?"
 "It does.''
 "And the payment of men for doub- ling up at the federal jail?"
 1t does."
 "What else?''
 "I went to the Rowland House and made arrangements 10 board jury there at 75 cents day. The jurymen ate two meals and slept there one night and the charge was 621- cents per man. You will discover by the record winch is in the circuit clerks office that the government was charged at the rate of $1.75 per man, When it comes to making poor widow woman sign receipt for $l .75 when the bill is not more than 75 cents day, 1 think it high time that the good people of the country should know it. I want to say right here that we have not only documentary evidence that the charges we have made are true. but we have nothing to conceal in this matter and have the courage of my convic- tions."

The report was circulated here three
days ago that the Americans had yel-
low fever, and there is fear that the
heroes have been. infected and that
their death is almost certain from the
plague. The report came from Ha-
vana, and is probably to be relied
upon.
1t is feared that nothing has been
done by the Spanish officers to secure
the prisoners from the disease, and it is
thought possible that Blanco's refusal
to negotiate for their exchange was
based on hope that their lives might
be ended in that way.
Santiago is infected with fever, and
the harbor entrance is especially dam
gerous, as it is surrounded by marshes
and fever infected soil.
The Spanish flag was flown at half
mast over Moro castle, Friday, which
would indicate either that some promi-
nent Spanish officer was dead or that
the Merrimac heroes were dead. Many
officers of the fleet believe that the lat
ter is the truth.

THE AsTOR LIGHT BATTERY.
Arrival of the Organization at San Fran
ciscO-Have Gone Into Camp
at the Preside.

SAN Francisco, June 20.-The Astor
light battery, numbering 101 men, in
cluding three officers, arrived in this
city. The men composing the battery
are by far the most handsome-appear-
ing soldiers that have arrived in this
city. They are thoroughly equipped,
their outfit being the regulation
United States light artillery equip
ment. They carry with them
six Hotchkiss rapid-fire cannon, throw
ing 12-pound shells. The battery ar
rived on this side of the bay early in
the morning, and the ladies of
the Red Cross served break ia st
to the men, beside adorning them with
California flowers. The streets were
crowded with people, and the soldiers
were given a great reception. The
battery marched to the Presidio, and
will make that place their home until
they are ordered elsewhere.
Shortly after the Astor battery
passed through the city on their way
to the Presidio, 151 men from the Fifty
first Iowa regiment had also arrived,
took up their march to Camp Merritt.
The Iowans are not equipped in any par
ticular, but are a hardy looking set of
men, The Red Cross society enter
tanned them at the ferry depot, and
they were heartily cheered by the
crowds on the streets.

IT EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS.
The Popular Success of the Two Hundred
Million Dollar War Loan Is
Very Gratifying.

WASHINGTON, June 2O.-Although the
amount of the subscriptions to the new
three per cent. loan is not made public,
it is officially stated that it exceeds
all expectations. This is particu-
larly true of the larger amounts. The
number of subscriptions received for
sums of $500 and less is large, but the
department wishes it thoroughly un-
derstood by the public that even should
the whole loan be subscribed for sew
eral times over in large amounts, every
subscription of $500 or less will be ac-
cepted at once, as all small amounts will
take precedence in the allotments over
large ones. A subscription for $50, ,OOO,-
OG0 has been received from prominent
insurance company of New York, in
closing a certified check for $500, 900, as
required by the regulations governing
the placing of the loan.

BY GOVERNMENTS ENEMIES.
DestructI on OF the King Powder Co.'s
Finishing Department at Kings
Mills, o., by Incendiaries.

CINCINNATI. June 2O.-The finishing
department of the King Powder Co., To-
Gated at Kings Mills, in Warren coun-
ty, was destroyed Sunday night in a
manner leading to the belief that it
was the work of enemies of the govern
ment.
The building, in which was stored a
quantity of smoleless powder, had evil
IDENTIFY been fired by two men near mid
night, one of whom was badly burned
and had been apparently dragged away
from the burning building by his com
panion, who then ran away in the
direction of South Lebanon. Smoke
less powder in the condition it was in
this department does not explode like
ordinary powder, with a flash, but
breaks into a bright light and burns
for some time. The great light at
tracted citizens, and some of these met a
stranger going toward South Lebanon.
The injured man was taken into custo-
dy. He is foreigner, but is so
badly injured that he can scarcely talk.
The powder burned was not for the
government, and the money loss is in
considerable, perhaps 81, 600 This COM
pany has contract to supply the gov
ernment, and this is thought to be the
reason it's destruction was attempted.

WASHINGTON, June 90 - Secretary
Long has received call from DIR.
Kindleberger, assistant surgeon of the
Olympia, flagship of Admiral Dewey's
squadron, and Gunner Evans, of the
cruiser Boston, both of whom
participated in the battle of Manila.
They are the first to arrive here to give
to officials personal information of that
famous engagement.
DIR. Kindleberger is on leave, and in
cidentally on his way through to take
bride at San Francisco. Gunner
Evans time expired early in April, but
knowing that the battle was impend-
ing, he asked Admiral Dewey for per-
mission to remain at his post through
the engagement, and this was readily
granted, as Evans is n veteran at the
gun, such as Dewey needed.
The two men look bronzed from eX-
pOsure to the tropical suns, and their
sturdiness gives assurance that Dewey's
men were not suffering at Manila, a
fact of which they gave Secretary Long
verbal assurance.
Gunner Evans had a long talk with
the secretary, describing many inter
estiDg phases of the battle. Afterwards
he talked with press representative.
On the night before the battle the officers
remained awake and ready tor service
constantly, while the men slept beside
their guns. The spirit of the crew was
high. and they were eager for the con-
test. There was no apprehension, eX-
cept in crossing over the mines at the
entrance of Manila bay, for the fate of
the Maine had aroused dread lest the
Spaniards had planted mines and tor
pedOes at the entrance.
The Olympia, with the admiral
aboard, took the lead through this un-
known danger, and when this had
been cleared there was keen eagerness
to begin the lighting. There is no
long dawn in the Philippines, the
transition from darkness to clear day
light coming in a few minutes.
1t was shortly after five o'clock
that this change came, disclos-
ing the Spanish ships lying
eight miles off The American sailors
watched the hurry and confusion on
board the Spanish ships as they pre-
pared to defend themselves. They
were practically helpless, as their fires
were banked and beyond clearing the
decks for action and getting the men
to quarters, they could not be moved.
Meantime the Olympia led the way,
and the American ships were in line of
battle for their first broadside. Evans
remained at the ammunition cases,
serving shot and shell as fast as needed.
The men at the guns had stripped to
the waist, keeping on only their
trousers and shoes. There was not
breath of air stirring, and aside from
the intense tropical heat, there was the
heat of action and of excitement. The
story of the battle is but a repetition of
the oft-told tale.

that the sen ate proceed to the con-

ST. LOUIS, June 2O-A special to the
Post Dispatch from Camp Thomas,
Chickamauga park, says:
The cat is out of the bag. Maj.
Julian has officially stated at the regi-
mental headquarters of the Fifth that
he is the only regularly appointed and
commissioned officer in the Missouri
outfit, and that the governor holds the
official lives of all others in the palm of
his hands
The Missouri people have been put
on the anxious seat by the withhold
ing of commissions, and strong intima-
tions have been made that nothing
will be done until Gov. Stephens is as
sured OF the loyalty of the troops to his
administration.
The announcement Sunday evening,
when Julian, in the heat of argument,
showed the administrations hand,
while anticipated, was not expected at
this time.
1t has stirred up tremendous roar,
and brought Col. Moore to his feet
with the statement that he will stand
by his officers, regardless of jefferson
City.
The storm burst from an apparently
clear sky Sunday afternoon, when
Lieut.. Col. Morgan received mott tica-
tion from Gen. Wade, commanding the
Third corps, that Maj. Ab.rnathy's s
resignation had been accepted on June
l6, to date from June 5. An inspection
of Julian's commission showed that he
had been mustered in by Lieut.. Iarde-
man at st. Louis, June 8. Col Morgan
held at that time there was no va
cancy, and that his assignment to duty
was irregular and further that he
would have to be mustered again.
Julian was called to headquarters
and the situation explained. lie held
different view on the matter, and an
argument which attained some heat
followed.
The major asserted that under the
titled to the position he holds, as no
others held commissions in the volun-
teer service.
Col. Moore, whose duties as brigade
commander had kept his hands from
the Julian affair, was sitting near.
''Do you mean to say that am not an
officer in this regiment?" he is reported
to have asked.
Julian began to quote the statute in
answer, when he was interrupted by
an indignant outburst from the colonel,
who declared that he was mustered
into the United states army as COM
mandcr of the regiment, and if Gov.
Stephens wanted to know what he
would do he could send other men down
here to take the places of the present
officers.
Julian is said to have replied that
the governor said he had that power,
thereby openly declaring that such a
move had been under consideration.

GEN. sHAFTER'S EXPEDITION.
Belief at Washington that 1t Has Arrived
Safely at Its Destination OF
Santiago.

WASHINGTON, June 20-No doubt is
entertained at either the war or navy
departments that Gen. Skaters mill
tary expedition has arrived safely off
Santiago by this time As matter of
fact, it is believed that the
first of the transports arrived
near the blockading fleet Satur-
day night. According to the
plans arranged for the debarkation the
feet of transports was to lie in safe
place until Sampson had cleared the
way for a landing. The selection of
the landing place has been left entirely
to the judgment of Admiral Sampson
and Gen. Shafter, the military COM
mander.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS
Tennessee Crops.

The United States Department OF
agriculture. lin review of crops and
crop conditions in Tennessee for the
week ending June Is, says:
Except in the western section and
the western portion of the middle sec
ton, where good rains greatly improved
the condition of growing crops, the
warm, dry weather of the week had
quite damaging effect on the young
crops, and at the close of the week they
were beginning to be seriously in need
of more moisture. Corn is small but
generally clean and growing fairly

earlier paintings are being 'laid by"
Cotton, where well cultivated, has made
satisfactory growth under the favor
able conditions of warmth and sunshine.
Tobacco is reported seriously damaged
by the ravages of grasshoppers; the
lack of seasons" have caused much OF
the intended area to remain unset, and
as a result many farmers have devoted
this area to late corn. The weather,
generally, was very favorable for the
harvesting of wheat, which progressed
rapidly and a large proportion of the
crop is now in the shock. In the east
ern section and portions of the middle
section the oat crop is much shortened
by the drouth, which has 1lso been DEF
rimental to Irish potatoes, roung clover
pastures and garden vegetables. The
late berry crop is also much shortened

to q great extent. Much hay was saved
in fine condition. Peanuts are reported
in good condition of growth.

Earthauake shocks.

Memphis was visited by an earth
quake last week, and, strange to say,
but few people were aware of it. Two
distinct seismic shocks were felt, one
following the other in close succession.
In the business portion of the city the
quakes were barely noticeable, and but
few people were aware of the fact that
the earth had quaked until informed OF
it by some one who had experienced
for by the fact that in the business por-
tion of the city the people are accus-
toned to the heavy jarring of wagons
and the like, and the quaking therefore
did not attract their attention. In the

One or two signs will denote good
COW, Prof. Hacker says, as well as
twenty; in poor COW the thigh runs
down straight, SO there is no space be-
tween the thigh and the udder on one
side and the tail on the other. There
should be plenty of daylight between
the udder and the tail. One of the best
ways to tell what kind of COW you
have is her temperament. A good
dairy type has a sharp spine, strongly
developed nervous system, and sharp
hip bones. A good COW has d large,
wedge-shaped stomach, for she must
have large and powerful digestive
system to use up her food quickly and
make the best returns for it.

1t is said the best way to rig up a
nervous trotter that is afraid to go up
in the bunch when the dirt is flying.
and keeps throwing up his nose every
time piece of dust touches his face, is
to fix him out with a face veil made of
a piece of mosquito netting. This de-
vice has been tried with success by sew
eral trainers, and they say that most
of the breaks that horses make in races
without any cause whatever" when
they are sailing along all right can be
attributed to the sting caused by small
particles of dirt and gravel thrown
back by other horses in front.

War on Slot Machines.

Thirty-two indictments were found
against Memphis men last week ON
charge of promoting gambling. The
specific offense aimed at by these ir'
dictments is the keeping of a nickel in
the-slot gambling machine. Although
there are thirty-two of these indict
ments, there are not that many people
indicted. Some men have been in.
dicted two, three, four or five times.
and thus the aggregate of thirty-two is
made up. These machines pay the city
license of 500 per month per machine.
If a man has more than one machine in
his establishment he pays 500 on each
machine. They are indicted on each
machine. That means a revenue OF
50. 200 for the month, an average OF
$3S, 400 per year This rate of taxation
was fixed with the idea that this would
be prohibitive and would stop the ma
chine gambling in Memphis.
