From Poverty to Afnuence.

Rapid City, S. D., April There is
one happy man in this city at least.
James a. Carew has been miner and
prospector for number Of years in
the Hornblende mining district. Of
late years he, has been a sufferer from
a bad case Of rheumatism. He was laid
up in his little cabin for days at q time,
with nobody around to help him. He
had a fine property that showed values
in gold, but as long as he could not
sell he was worse than a pauper. His
case became so bad that he was
brought to the poorhouse in this city,
where he had been some time. His
mine was sold few days since, and he
is now rich man. He has left the
poor farm and Is now living in ease
and comfort. He is well known all
over the Black Hills.

FRAUDS AT MANILA. !

| Manila, April e. Interest IN the cap
ture and fate Of Aguinaldo is we'll nigh
overshadowed In Manila by sensational
developments, present and prospective,
Of frauds in the comn1issaIy depart
ment. How widely these extend has
not vet been aseertained, but enough
is already known to justify the belief
that they are far reaching. Capt. Fred
]. Barrows. Of the Thirtieth volunteer
infantry. quarternast Of the depart
ment of Southern Luzon, together with
seven commissary sergeants, several
civilian clerks, q prominent govern
ment contractor, the assistant mana
ger Of the Hotel Orient, the proprietors
of three of the largest bakeries in
Manila, a number of storekeepers and
other persons have been arrested. The
investigation has scarcely begun, but
thousands of sacks of flour, a quantity
of bacon and wagon loads of other
goods, all bearing government marks.
have been found IN the possession Of
unauthorized persons.
1t is alleged that the contractor in
question, who has been doing a busi-
ness approximating 100000 per month,
has spent huge sums in entertaining
officers. A prominent commissary Of
f1cer Is accused Of leading scandalous-
ly immoral life. It is asserted that
large quantities Of stores have been
lost or stolen in transit and also that
there is a shortage in the commissary
depot.
New scandals are developed daily.
Illicit transactions have been traced
back to June, 1900, and 1t is possible
that there are others Of earlier date.
The exorbitant tariff on provisions
makes the surreptitious sale of supplies
immensely profitable. IT Is u11erstood
that other United States officers may
be arrested Lieut.. Philip K. Sweet, OF
the Forty sixth volunteer infantry, Is
prosecuting the investigation under the
direction OF Col. Wilder, chief Of police.
Capt. Barrows, mentioned in the
above dispatch, is from Minneapolis
where he Is well known and prominent
ly connected. His father was state oil
inspector under Goov. Clough. Capt.
Barrows was appointed lieutenant in
the Fifteenth Minnesota when that
regiment was organized. He was pro-

The foreign ministers at Pekin have
prepared list Of high Chinese officials
whose execution they demand as 8
punishment for their completely in the
Boxer outrages and the attack on the
legations. OF the expediency OF this
demand, in certain instances, there
may be some doubt; but ofits substan-
tial justice, assuming that the officia
did what they are reputed to have
done, there can be no question. While
the attempt is being made to distribute
responsibility and to exact penalty for
these crimes, neither the foreign min.
listers at Pekin nor the powers which
they represent can afford to be indif-
ferent to certain other crimes, still
more inexcusable and atrocious.

The execution was witnessed by
about 125 spectators. who had been
sworn in as deputy sheriffs by Sheriff
Gaffke. TIE spectators included about
twenty sheriffs froHa other Minnesota
and upper Iowa counties.
Wallert spent the day shrouded In
the same cloak Of stoicism that had
marked his conduct since his capture
the day following the murder. Short
ly after noon August Wallert, a broth
er, and Joseph Gersch, Gustave Stein-
mann and August Prean1 brothers in
law. bade the prisoner q short and
Unimpassioned Goodbye.
Wallert talked with them without
emotion and assured them that he was
ready to meet his fate. Although pro-
Tossing deep religious convictions Wall
ert declined to express to his brother,
as he had previously declined to ex-
press, any sorrow for the commission
OF a murder which, for fendish delib-a
Grafton, is almost without parallel in
the criminal annals of Minnesota. FIR.

or cravat. Preceded by Sheriff Gaffke.
Wallert, supported on either side by
Deputy Sheriffs Charles Beecher and
Frank Bame, was escorted to the scaf-
fold. Fr. Kersy followed the doomed
man, who was half-led, haif-lifted up
the thirteen steps leading to the scaf-
fold. Sheriffs Wagner and Schwaler
fastened the bands which bound Wall
ert,s arms and legs and adjusted the
black cap. Sheriff Gaffke, standing all
most inne diately in front of the trap,
gave the lever d quick jerk. Wallert's

Wallert had been estranged from his
family for some time prior to the trag-
edy and had been employed as farm
