The REGISTER has mode mention of
the recent completion of the govern
ment's stupendous job of issuing a
complete record OF the Civil War
from the records of both side kept
during the struggle. The history in
cludes some 100 huge volumes in which
are copied the voluminous official cor
respondence of all the generals and
officials concerning plans and cam
paigns. 7. S. Slower years ago by a
bit Of luck secured the last set which
Senator John j. Ingalls, had at his

donated the entire set to McCook Post,

ARRESTED IN CHICAGO.
The CorOner's Jury Declared DOwie
Crimjnally Responsible.

Chicago, May 24.-John Alexander
Dowie, the faith healer" was placed
under arrest here to day pursuant to
the action of the coroner's jury which
yesterday declared him 'criminally
responsible" for the death OF Mrs.
Emma Lucy Judd. II. Worthington
Judd, disciple OF Dowie land hus-
band OF the victim, was also lplaced
under arrest. Both men were taken
before Judge Tuley, who admitted
them to bail. Henrika Bratsch and
Mary b. Spelcher, maternity"
nurses, who were at Mrs. Judd's bed
side when she died were arrested last
night and later released under bonds.
Mrs. Judd died week ago after
sixteen hours of suffering. Her infant
also died. She was member Of
Dowie's congregation and it is claimed
she received no medical attention.
For Dowie and Judd bonds were
fixed at $40, 900 each, while the women
were released on sureties Of 1000
each.
John Alexander Dowie is the head
of peculiar sect which founded the
town OF Zion, III. These Zionists are
frequently called Dowieites to pre-
vent confusing them with the Zionist
movement of the Jews. Dowie came
to San Francisco from Melbourne,
Australia, and started a church,
where he taught healing by prayer.
He went to Chicago in 1901 and then
began to build his new sect, Christian
Catholic church, His religious teach
ings have proved very unpopular in
Illinois and Ohio, and the Zionist
elders are frequently stoned out of the
towns where they are holding meet
ings.

$50 CASH PER CAPITA
Kansas has Mighty Good Showing
just Now.

Topeka, May 23.-"There is at least
800 cash per capita in Kansas at this
very msment," saidi Bank Commits
sioner Albaugh to-day. 1.-THE de-
posts in the banks alone aggregate
1868, 900, 900, or $3.50 per capita.
These figures are taken from the re-
ports of the national, state and pri-
vate banks and are absolutely correct.
1t is certain, also that there is as
much money in the state not in the
banks as there is in them. Not more
than one-tenth OF the people, at the
outside, are bank depositors. The
per cent may not run that high. Some
claim that not more than one out of
fifteen are depositors, and there are a
few who declare that not one in twenty
has bank account. On the basis OF
one in ten it would make an average
of 2S0 depositors to each bank in the
state. That in my opinion, is at LEI st
eighty above the average, perhaps
more. The cash on hand in the vari-
Gus stores, in the pockets or stockings
of individuals and hidden in the cell
lars, it is reasonable to suppose, will
aggregate more than the amount on
deposit in the banks; in other words,
that the nine-tenths of the people who
do not patronize banks have as much
cash as the one-tenth who do. So it
can be seen that the people of Kansas
are in fairly good shape financially,
as we'll as morally.

1.-Two CoIored Girls Arrested.

Sunday the police arrested two
strange colored girls at the GWashing-
ton home on north Chestnut, otherwise
known as FIT. Louise. George Alsbury
is the complaining witness and he says
one of the girls, Sarah Smart, whose
real name he did not know, picked
from his pocket about 800 in money
Saturday night. Two fVe-dollar gold
pieces and about ten dollars in silver
he claims went from his pocket to hers,
and the charge is that felony was
committed, similar to the one that will
send David Washington over the
road. The two girls were put in jail
and are there awaiting trial, but there
seems no evidence against the second
girl.

Tacoma, May 27.-Yokohoma ad-

Japan that renewal OF the outbreak

foreigners. They are exasperated by

Kansas City, May 24,-Mr. Adolph
Goodman, 20 years old, an osteopathic
physician with an office in the Altman
building, was stripped and cowhided
by James II. Beckham, his father-in-
law, at the home of Mr.. Beckham's

Mr.. Beckham was assisted in the
whipping process by his son, j. FL.
Beckham, jr., who held shot gun
leveled at DR., Goodman's head while
the father applied the whip to the bare
back of his son-in-law. The whipping
was administered because of the COM

band had beaten and otherwise abused
her.

ON THEIR WAY HOME
Presidential Party Begins the Journey
to Washington

San Francisco, Cal, May 25.-The
presidential party, after sojourn OF
nearly two weeks in this city, left for
Washington a few moments after 10
o'clock this morning. The physicians
in attendance on Mrs. Mckinley held
their last consultation yesterday and
after they had announced their de-
cision that Mrs. Mckinley was strong
enough to endure the transcontinental
journey, preparations for the depar-
ture were rapidly made. Mrs. McKin-
ley enjoyed refreshing nights rest
and seemed elated at the prospect OF
soon being at home. She was con-
veyed from the Scott residence to the
Oakland ferry in closed carriage
over a circuitous route, which was
chosen so that the invalid might pass
over only smooth paved streets, the
iarring basalt blocks which are laid
on many streets being avoided. She
was accompanied by the President,
DIR. Rixey and trained nurse, the
rest OF the party proceeding to the
starting point in more direct way.
An immense crowd: had assembled
at the ferry depot of the Southern
Pacific, the wide expanse afforded by
the junction of Market and East streets
being a solid mass of humanity,
through which the police with difficulty
kept open a passageway for the Presi'
dent and his party. Heads were un.
covered as the carriage in which Mrs
Mckinley rode approached, and there
was a visible effort to restrain an out
burst of applause as the carriage, will
drawn curtains, drove slowly through
the throng, All respected the frai
condition Of the sufferer, and the en-
thusiasm was suppressed.

UNITED STATES is FIRM

BY sorlpps-McRas Press Association.

Washington, May 25.-It lis under
stood that the decision that the United
States will not be party to join in a
guarantee Of the powers of the Chinese
bond is irreyocable. This may cause
the bonds to sell below par. The
probable issue will be 1887, 900, 600

the resources OF the Chinese empire.

Oil Well at Humboldt.

humboldt Union: AS was noted in
The Union last week, the well recently
drilled on the George u. Work farm
west OF the river, was ipoor in gas but
rich in oil. Later developments show
that the well will easily ipump 25 bar
rels of oil per day, and perhaps more.
1t is a good quality OF oil, too. There
isn't sufficient gas in the well to flow
the oil out, as on Monday there was
over 700 feet Of oil standing in the five
inch casing, and that oil had raised up
in the casing in less than twenty-four
hours.
Mr.. Works went TO his home in
Chicago the first of the week ami will
purchase and engine and pump and
send them down here Ito use at the well
in pumping the oil. He may also con-
clude to drill some more wells on his
farm in the search for oil, for he can
market all he can get at good price.
We hope he will drill some more
wells and feel confident that plenty of
oil will be found. In fact there are
several good wells here now, but no
effort has been made to sell the oil
that could be pumped from them.
The oil was tested side by side with
the Chsnute oil and there was no diff
ference that was observable to the eye.
1t has dark green color and when
properly tested will show a fair per
cent of illuminant. This oil field is GO
ing to be valuable some day. And
| Why not now?

Military Men Were Hopeful
Previous to the receipt of Kitchen
'er's telegram, given above, relating the
story of a Boer surprise as early as Z so
%. m, and of the Victorian Rifles, too,
body of men supposed to be up" to
all such BOer schlimmness, the record
of military operations in South Africa
was regarded as satisfactory by the
military men, without regard for the
results of Mrs. Botha's diplomacy.
The number of BOer prisoners under
guard exceeds 10000, and they are
anxious TO have the war end. A con-
siderable force of the surrendered
Beers is now under arms for the pro-
lection of farms and herds, and ii, too,
is anxious TO have terms Of peace ar
ranged. The Dutch districts in Cape
Colony. where General French is now
in command. are weary of the depre-
dations of the BOer raidersswhe they
have to feed and clothe thssn.
Loss of the Pompoms a Bad Feature.
The serious reverse which Lord
Kitchener reports is the first accident
of the kind that has happened to the
Australian contingent, and it is sup
posed to be due to neglect of proper
picketing. Although it is offset by the
defeat inflicted upon De Wet, the loss
of the guns is regarded as a serious
matter, which will encourage the
Beers to continue the struggle. More
or less fanciful accounts are published
on the continent of alleged peace nego-
tiations, but there is nothing in them,
and nothing has come of the interview
between Mrs. Botha and Kruger be-
yond revealing the fact that Kruger
will listen to no proposals unless they
are accompanied with a guarantee Of
the independence of the republics.
