DiscIaims Any Contradiction of What the
Governor Said.
Springfield, Ills, Sept. 6.-When
asked if he had anything to say in re-
ply to Governor Tanners interview re-
garding the treatment Illinois received
ct the hands of Secretary Root in the
appointment of officers in the new vol
unteer regiments, Senator Cullom
said: Il did not, as l remember, contra
dict the governors statement that Illi-
nois had not been fairly treated in tr-l
allotment of commissions in the new
regiments being organized. What l did
say was that l supposed the secretary
of war had taken into account what
had been allotted to our state under
the first call for ten regiments-name-
ly, lieutenant colonel, a major. num-
Der of captains and lieutenants in the
Thirtieth regiment, and some captains
and lieutenants in other volunteer reg
iments.
Il supposed the secretary of war
thought he was treating Illinois fairly
in view of the appointments that had
been accorded to our state under the
previous call. So far as l am aware,
the secretary and adjutant general
adopted substantially the same course
in raising the last ten regiments as was
pursued in organizing and offering
the ten regiments authorized under the
first call.

Palmyra, Ills, Sept. 6.-Palmyra is
all culver with excitement over re-
port that has been gaining circulation
in a very secret way of a CHASTITY find
that was made on a farm two miles
east of here OF human skeleton and Il
pair Of boots, supposed to have be-
longed to a former citizen named Spen-
Ger Mays, who disappeared about ten
years ago. About that time Mays went
to st. Louis with a number of persons
from here on an excursion, and was
last seen on the Eads bridge, and was
supposed to have been drowned, but
the report was never verified.
His wife secured a divorce and mar
ried William Deaby. of Carlinville
Prairie. 1t is now reported that the
house has been moved where Mays for
merly lived. and that the mover, MOTTO
ing a depression under the house, dug
and found q skeleton and a pair of
boots, the latter said to be like Mays
wore. No arrests have been made yet,
but circumstances point significantly
and later developments may clear up a
long standing mystery. The excite
ment is growing intense here.
