Counsel next wished to know why the Dor
dereau communicated to the court martial
OF 1894 when II considered impossible to
show the other documents Of the secret dos
sier General MERCER replied Because the
bordereau was not dated, not signed, and It's
place Of origin could be concealed"
NJ Labori pointed out that the place OF
origin had been mentioned In court, and then
asked for explanations in regard TO the perpe-
tration Of the 1894 forgery.
The cross examination Of General MERCER be-
came more and more heated and rapid that
1t was dificult to follow, and many of the an
swers were confusing. AS the questions OF
counsel touched upon the secret dossier and a
certain document In blue pencil. General Gonse.
General Roget NJ. Gribelin and Major Lauth
also participated in the discussion, which al
most degenerated into a wrangle.
The Government Commissary. Major Carriere,
protested against such discussion, and Colonel
Jouaust ordered silence. The Commissary said
that an attempt was being made to show that
there was a fresh forgery which was used for
purposes Of comparison. TO which NJ. Labor
retorted that Major Carrere was mistaken. The
tendency Of these cross -examlnations. he added.
was only to demonstrate the truth.
Major Lauth said that he believed a cew to
the blue pencil document existed before the
trial of 1894. and NJ. Labor asked why, in that
case. II was not produced at the trial. since It
incriminated the prisoner
General MERCER said he did not know OF this
clew. and Major Lauth disclaimed all RESPONSE
bnity In the matter. as he was not connected
with the preliminary inquiry.
General Gonse said that the document had
been In the possession OF Colonel sandherr (sen-
sation). and It was by him placed In the secret
dossier for comparison with other papers.

whereupon the witness replied that he could

At this point NJ Labori said that he would
like to confront Colonel Maurel with Captain
Freystaetter, another Of the Judges at the court
martial OF 1894; but the latter not present
and Colonel Maurel promised to wait few
days and give the Captain an opportunity of
attending.
lively incident followed NJ Labor having
asked leave to interrogate General MERCER, the
Government Commissary, Major Carriere, took
the occasion to remark that while counsel had
the right to ask questions he had business
TO draw deductions. to which the lawyer dryy
replied that he had always acted with full
knowledge Of the restrictions imposed upon
counsel and that he had no need Of lessons
from Major Carriere and would not accept
them.

General MERCER then recalled, and It was
noted that he had donned his uniform for the
first time. The impression thereby created was

III. Labor said that he desired to know
whether General MERCER admitted ordering
Colonel Maure TO communicate secret docu-

MERCER replied Il knew l did not have the
right TO give formal orders to that effect, but I
gave moral orders. in a manner sufficiently

Counsel proceeded closely to question the Cen

General MERCER replied that he was no accus-
toned TO violence from the press that he paid
no attention to that article. He added that he
paid no more attention TO the eulogies Of the
"Libre Parole" than to the statements of other
newspapers.

A WONDERFUL STRUCTURE.
Subject of a Brilliant Lecture by Prof.

Thomas w. Dinsmore. Jr.
"A Wonderful Structure, a lecture
by Prof. Thomas W. Dinsmorc, Jr.,
q elivered last night al Augustana
college under the auspices OF the ly-
ceum, proved one of the intellectual
treats of the season. The lecturer
dwelt upon man from a chemical
point of view, and through the agency
of various apparatus showed how the
elements of the human body are
united. what amount of each is found
in man and what forms they possess.
He said prominent scientists have
gone so far in their search as to be-
lieve that in the near future artificial
life can be produced. Men today are
ready to assert that nothing is impQs-
sibe. but the production of artificial
life goes far beyond possibility, Prof
Dinsmore held. The brilliant oppor-
tunities of the young man of today
were shown. Man is here for pur-
pose" said the speaker. The pur
pose should he noble. the means right.
A wonderful structure as is man
should not fall beneath its Importance,
but maintain it's position and ever
strive for higher planes"

Honest Farmer Pays $4,000 for Hole
In the Ground.

Honest Farmer Pays $4,000 for Hole
In the Ground.
Henry Rede. wealthy farmer who
resides in Whiteside county, near
Albany, was recently victimized out
OF a large sum of money by some
clever swindlers. A few days ago q
man appeared at his residence claim
ing to be geologist. and informed
MIR. Rede that there was 4 large
deposit of coal under his farm. A
few days later well drilling outfit
came along and pike of the posi-
blliIies of coal on the Rede farm. A
proposition was made the drillers.
and they commenced at once to bore
a hole in one of the most promising
parts of the farm. The bargain was
that the men were to receive.50 cents
a foot for the drilling if no coal was
found. In case coal was discovered
they were to be paid as cents foot
extra. They began operations at
once, and after reaching a depth of
127 feet reported that hey had struck
a vein of coal. Mr.. Rede went to the
place where the men were drilling,
and on the removal of the drill it was
shown it had passed through 3-foot
vein. Mr.. Rede was elated over the
prospects and paid the men at once,
who Immediately took their depar-
tuIe. He bought lots of adjoining
land, and pictured himself n million
aire coal operator. He sunk shaft,
but OH reaching the supposed vein
found only few pieces of coal that
had been placed there undoubtedly by
the driilers in order to receive the
additional pay. Mr.. Rede spent
S. in sinking the shaft, and all
he has TO pay for his trouble is an i'm
mense hole in the ground, which will
be filled up at another large expense.
He is a popular and progressive man,
and the propie at Albany are consid-
erablv incensed over the matter. 1t
is said warrants are out for the arrest
of the swindlers, and if they can be
caught will undoubtedly pay dear y
for their dishonest cash.
