THE CHARGES AGAINST NEELY.
Additional Ones Made in Order to
Strengthen the Governments Case

Washington, May 22.-The war de-
partment received today from General
Wood, at Havana, by cable the SUBJ
stance of two criminal charges TO be
preferred against Nicely in connection
with the Cuban postal frauds. The
department in turn telegraphed the
charges to District Attorney Burnett,
at New York and declined to make
any statement as to their character.
The charges are two counts specify
ing the illegal conversion of public
moneys to the use of Nicely. In that
case the charges might be prosecuted
in the United States and it may be
that it was the intention of the govern
ment officers to provide in that man
ner against a possible failure of the
effort to secure the extradition of Nee
ly to Cuba. The charge upon Neely,
as now held in New York, is of the
very slightest character, so slight as
to be subject to grave doubt as to its
sufficiency against a writ of habeas
corpus, being nothing more, according
to report, than an allegation that
Nicely brought misappropriated money
into the United States. Hence there
is necessity for Immediately strength
ening the case, not only with a view
to extradition, but also because it is
desired TO make sure there shall be no
miscarriage of justice.

years work in Kansas City
IN the manufacture of his
hay machinery from his own
patents, Mr.. Dain moved to
Carrollton, Mo-, in 1889, and
began there the work of man
ufacturing his implements.
In 1892 the business had
grown to such an extent that
a company was organized
with a capital of $40, 900, and
III one years time this was
increased to $50, 900, and two
years later again increased
to $10O, 900. The manufac-
ture of other inventions was
added, as the business grew,
and a few years later the
capital stock was again in
creased, this time to $780,
600, its present capital. This
is, in a few words, the story
of the wonderful growth and
prosperity of this company.
Mr.. Joseph Dain, Jr., the
president of the concern, is
the same man who, eighteen
years ago, began to manu-
~facture the machinery which
has at present made Dain"
a household word among
farmers and users of imple-
n1ents. The company now
has a surplus. besides it's
paid-up capital stock, of
$50, 900, and is the largest
manufacturer of hay ma

world, and the largest i'm
