THE GOUlD MONEY.
Castellane Was Getting Rid Of
Il Too Fast.

Paris. Nov. THE appointment of
of the Countess of Castellane is the
talk of Paris. Those acquainted with
the count do not think he will take
kindly to the restraint on his expendi-
lures which Gould, it is stated will eX-
erCise il a rigid fashion. The count
giveSGould absolute control of the
countess estate and the count has not
a cent in his W name, it means that
he will have to go to his American
brother-in-law for his pocket money.
What is worse. from the counts view
point. is that he will have to render
accounts to Gould for the money he
spends. In process OF rCCOuping the
broken fortune of the countess, it is
likely that the expensive property pur-
chased by the count in Avenue Bots de
Pologne will be sold.
Marquis de Castellane, count Bonfs
father. is alleged to be very angry over
the case and to have declared hat his
son would o submit to Gould's inter
ference in his affairs. According to
rumor, the marquis is put out because
he did not get the position Of trustee
himself. He is poor and the admins
tration of the estate would have net
ted him a handsome income.
In the court proceedings George j.
Gould was appointed trustee, Maitre
Bonnet, acting for the Goulds, stated
that the Gould family had prayed the
eldest brother, George J.. to save their
sister Anna and her children from ruin.
Therefore, he said. Mr.. Gould petitions
the court to deprive the count or count
ess of any power to touch the capital
or estate or to contract debts. Under
his guidance, the countess had spent
50, OOO, 900 in the first four years, $780,
900 more than her income for that per
Iiod, besides having contracted debts to
the amount Of nearly s. $500, 900.

WORRIED
OVER THE ABSENCE OF A RELA.
TIVE LAST HEARD OF IN
WYOMING.
Tragedy Of the Plains Recalled by a
Letter Received in Laramie-Hen.
ny c. Meyer Of Sylvan Grove, Kan,
Asks for Information About a Dead
Body Found Near Wilcox.

A letter just received by Postmaster
Beltz recalls one of the mysteries of
the plains that has not yet been solved
and perhaps never will be. 1t also sug-
gests a disappearance perhaps as mys-
FERROUS as hat represented by a lonely
grave near the railroad track.
In the early part of September a dead
body, with its clothing almost torn
away and showing evidences of having
lain several days, was found about half
a mile from Wilcox station on the I'm
ion Pacific. The orone was notified
and ne went to the place to investigate.
There was nothing on the body of the
mar that would give a clue to his iden-
tity; and there was nothing to be done
except to bury the corpse where it, lay.
This he did.
The Case Of Meyer.
A few days later 1t was reported that
a young man named Meyer had disap-
peared from the ranch Of William Tay-
lor near Rock Creek. The name of this
young man was Charles Meyer. He
had said that his home a Sylvan
Grove, Kansas, that he had lost a large
sum of money in mining in Colorado
and had to go to work somewhere. He
stayed on the ranch till he became i'll
and could not work. Then one day he
had come to Laramie for medicine and
had not returned.
The man who brought the report of
the disappearance of young Meyer. had
read in The Republican the account of
a lead body having been found hear
Wilcox and he feared that this was the
body of Meyer.
Upon the receipt of this Information
preparations were made for the exhum.
ing of the body at Wilcox; hut before
the coroner could start for the scene
it was learned that Meyer-Sas In tire
county hospital i'll with fever. He was
discharged from there as convaiescent
and is supposed to have gone back to
the Taylor ranch.
Anxiety at Home.
However. it now appears that the
whereabouts of young Meyer are still
unknown and that there is great anx
iety at his home in Kansas. 1t would
appear from the letter received by
Postmaster Beltz that if young Meyer
is still at the Taylor ranch he has not
kept his relatives informed Of his move.
ments. 1t is not known in Laramie
whether he is at the ranch or not. The
letter received by the postmaster is as
follows:
Sylvan Grove, Kan. Oct. 90, 1900
Postmaster, Laramie. Wyo.
Dear Sir: Would you be so kind as
to let me know If there was a dead
body found on the plain somewhere
around Laramie. Wyo.. of a young man
by the name Of Charles E. Meyer, age
21 years. some time between the 18th
OF August and the 18th of September.

know il there is a Wilcox ranch there.

various Explanations.

To begin with. it should be remem
bered hat John Charles has fallen all
over himself trying to answer the
charge that he made the statement
given above, concerning the alleged
subserviency of the intelligent women
OF Wyoming. He first said hat he
had never been in New York except on
his wedding O Il and gave this as proof
positive that he could not have made
such an u%tterance. But as it was not
claimed that he went to New York to
make this or any other assertion, this
plea fell to the ground. He next said
that he was not the Gen" Thompson
spoken of but that there was a mar
OF the same name who managed the
anti-suffrage campaign in Wyoming in
1892. Everybody knows there was no
anti-suffrage campaign in Wyoming In
that year or in any other year.
These two silly to the
charges having failed, he hunted up an
other, and this.tfme he made the broad
assertion that he was the father Of wo-
mems suffrage and that by his great
ability and persistent effort he succeed
ed in ENGRAVING it into the constitution
of the state. This of curse, brings a
smile to the face of every public man
in the state.

Last night he contributed another
explanation" as lambert as a flame

John Charles said that in the article
referred to the name given was Gen"

gence that the democratic party would
like to have represent it in congress-!
1t was thoroughly characteristic of
John Charles to try to put the blame
of the entire thing on some woman,
mythical and unheard Of though she is.
And it should be observed that In max
ing this lucid explanation" John
Charles in effect admitted that the
statement had been made by Gen"
Thompson" It is now up to the people
to decide in their own minds who
Gen" Thompson is. "Genevieve
