MAY GET GILLETT.
His Wife's Statement May Cause Him
Serious Trouble.

Abilene, Kan, March "A motion
was filed in the district court here late
yesterday to dismiss the attachment
made on Mrs. G. G. Gillett's Hereford
cattle and other property.
As published some time ago, the Abb
lene National bank purchased q note
for 81, 900 given to secure payment of a
life insurance premium in the Union
Central company, and it was signed by
Gillett and also bore the name Of his
wife.
Mrs. Gillett's answer to the bank s
petition was fled on February 4 by
her attorney, G. w. Hurd, and is a de-
NAL to all the allegations of the bank +;
also a statement that she did not exc
cute this note. She further states that
the bank did not own the note at the
time it attached her cattle.
If Mrs. Gillett's statements are true
then there has been a forgery commit
ted and suspicion alone rests on Grant
G. Gillett, her husband, the only person
who had any interest in paying the
premium on the insurance.
Tt can be depended upon that the
hank will make a strong effort to ex-
tradite Gillett on the charge of forgery
if Mrs. Gillett's signature proves in
valid.

the several state institutions, which is
less than the amount appropriated two
years ago.
1.-The last valuation of taxable prop
ertv was $500 GOO, GOO It is estimated
that the valuation of the state this year
will be $3.50, 600, 900. The mill levy fixed
by the legislature on this valuation
will raise So, 500, 000 The total appro-
priations deducted from the amount of
revenues leaves a surplus of 1854, 1896.
1.-THE levy of 1897 was AZ mills. The
legislature of 1899 found it necessary
to increase the levy four-fifths of a mill
in order to meet the deficiencies.
This does not include, of course, the
quarter mill special levy for the COM
pletion of the state house. The legis-
lature in making this levy followed the
precedent of former Iegislatures.'

Senator CuIlom. I'VE now have about
as much on our hands as we can well

now engrossing our attention straight
ened out it will be time enough for us
to talk about going into the continent

Scllley.

Admiral Schley is making a tour of
the western cities and receiving a
hearty welcome everywhere he stops.
He is bearing his honors with the
modesty becoming brave man and is
being praised without stint. In all the
comments made upon his tour, the
only adverse remarks we have seen
respecting him were seen in the Boise
Stateman, and, without a desire to
detract in the least from the honors
due him as great naval captain, we are
inclined to believe that all that the
Statesman said was proper aud right.

Mr.. Isay Returned.

Julius lsay returned home on We'd
nesday from his several months visit
in Europe, looking fine and bringing
with him neice from the Moselle, in
Germany, and his wife and daughter,
who visited in hicago during his alb
sence. Mr.. Isay went over on the
French line, landing in Havre, took in
Gay Paree on his route, and visited
many of the leading German cities, but
spending the greater portion of his time
with his aged father and relatives on
the Moselle. Mr.. lsay says he saw
many improvements in Germany since
his last visit, ten years ago, and the
people seemingly more prosperous and
contented. He brought home with him
a much higher opinion of the ability of
the German Emperor than he formerly
entertained although attributing much
of the improved condition he found in
Germany to the influences of the
socialists upon the domestic affairs of
Empire.

THE QUEENS WEALTH.
Victoria VIII De the First EnR1isl
Sovereign to Leave Any
Property.

Her majesty, Queen Victoria, will be
the first sovereign of England who ever
had any money to leave to her family.
All of her predecessors on the throne
bequeathed choice assortment Ci
debts TO their posterity, which parlia-
ment was called upon to make the peo-
pie pay. But while our queen permit
ted us to be taxed for the private obli-
cations of George ". and William w.,
she herself paid all the debts of her
father, the duke of Kent.
There is food for much speculation as
to the disposition of her majesty's inn
mense property. The bulk of it will, of
course, go to the prince of Wales, and
it has been asserted that the best es-
tates are entailed upon the queens sue
cessors with the condition that they
shall not be mortgaged or alieniated in
any way. The palace at Osborne will
probably be given to the queens fav-
orite daughter, Princess Beatrice, who
is also expected to inherit the fortunes
of the Empress Eugenie.

at Santiago all the sensational journals
in the country began claiming the
credit of that wonderful victory for
Schley and denying any of the honors
to Admiral Sampson because he was
temporarily absent from his fleet, for
getting that he had made all the plans
for the blockade. 1t fell to the fortune
of Schley, next in command, to be in
charge at the moment the fleet ap-
peared, but the plans had been so well
made by Sampson that nothing re-
mained for the captains of the waiting
fleet to do but to carry out his instruct
ions. We have failed to note in the
reports of the captains in command of
the vessels anything to indicate that
the result might have been different
had Schley been with Sampson. Merely
to be sensational, the yellow journals
took the matter up to rob Sampson Of
any of the honors due him and, Incl
dentally, piled more than his need of
praise upon his second in command.
We believe the secretary Of the navy
and the navy officers generally saw the
matter in its true light and have prop
erly awarded the honors by giving
Sampson the credit due him. Schley
is too big a man not to see it in that
light himself. Our navy has won for
itself immortal glory during the war
with Spain, and detracting from the
honors due any one of its officers to
