THE coMMIssARY FRAUDS.
some Of the Disclosures Resultins
from the Recent Trials
at Manila,

Manila, April 1.-THE trial of Com
missary Sergeant John Weston,
charged with completely in the COM
missary frauds, is finished. No YER
dict was announced, and Meston's con-
viction is uncertain. Other trials Of
those implicated will follow. Capt.
James G. Read, formerly depot COM
missary at Manila, has been arrested.
1t is alleged that entries upon the
books of Evans & Co., government
contractors, indicate that the COM
missary officers received the following
sums: Maj. George B. Davies, up
wards Of $1,000; Capt. james C. Read,
$1,000; Capt. Frank H. Lawton, $3.50;
Mr.. B. L. Tremaine, Col. Woodruff's
chief clerk, $500. It also appears that
Evans & Co. furnished the handsome
residence of Col. Woodruff. Harold
M. Pitt, manager of Evans & CO., who
is now under arrest, was VIGOROUSLY
lavish in entertaining coAmissary and
other officers, while the depot COM
missary, a frequenter Of the Tender
loin district, occasionally spent days
at Pitts house, in questionable So
ciety. Pitts house is a bacchanalian
rendezvous, and prominent officers
frequently visited it, drinking cham
payne and playing poker. Women of
doubtful reputation have often been
known to be there. II. is alleged that
Pitt had the inside track in securing
government contracts, and it is also
asserted that he was the prime mover
in the scheme to reestablish cock pits
in Manila, Mrs. Lara being subsidized
in securing a cock, pit. It is asserted
that the commissary department made
unauthorized purchases of quantities
of champagne. Pitt sold some. In adj
dition to what the transports brought,
the commissary imported 200 gallons
in February and a like amount in
March. The commissary and the COM
missary sergeant kept private car
riages and INDUCED in other extrava-
gances.

To The Farmers.

We wish to call the farmers at
tention to the fact that we are in
North Dakota for the purpose of
insuring growing crops against.
loss by hail. As we are a mutual
company and doing business in q
good many different states, there-l
fore we will be able to give you
cheaper insurance and much safer
for the reason we do not confine
! our businessto a small territory.
So in case of heavy loss. we have
our risks scattered, so it will not
come SO heavy upon us, and we in
this way have enough territory to
draw from, SO you will be sure to
receive the full amount of your
loss. We have a few men work
ing in this section of the country
and we beg Of you when they call 4
to give them a few moments Of
your time to explain our business
methods and the benefit derived
by placing your insurance with us.
We take pleasure in assuring you
that you will find our agents %strict-1
ly gentlemen in every respect, and
we hope you will give us our share
of your patronage.
Respectfully yours,
FARMERS MUTUAL HAIL Assoc1A-
TON, Of Kansas City, Missouri.
The Farmers Mutual Hail asso-
citation of Kansas City, Mo-, is one.
of the largest hail associations do
ing business in the United States
today. They operate in several
states thereby scattering their
business, giving them a larger
membership and making it abso-
lutely safe for policy holders.
Why pay 6 per cent for hail in
surance when you can get in a
company like the Farmers Mu-
tual Hail association Of Kansas
City, Mo-, who ran last year for
two cents and six mills, and paid
all losses in full.
Anyone desiring hail insurance
and want to carry insurance at
actual cost, call on or write T. D.
White. He is the state agent for
the Farmers Mutual Hail ASSOC
citation of Kansas City, Mo. This
association pays for the actual loss
sustained. Yours for business,

Loss Will BE Heavy-Zero
Weather Prevails,

Denver, Col, April 17.-Reports from
northern Colorado are to the effect
that another storm has prevailed on
the prairies for the past "a hours and
still continues. 1t began with a misty
rain and developedinto veritable biz
gard. The loss of stock will he great,
as they have become greatly weak
ened by exposure to the storms of the
past two weeks and lack of sufficient
food. The snow is drifting badly and
railroad traffic is being delayed. In
the vicinity. of Denver and on the
plains the storm is described as the
worst for years.
Cheyenne, Wyo., April 17.-One of
the worst storms in recent years has
been in progress here for the past 1s
hours. Snow began to fall early Mon
day morning and several inches were
added to the large amount already on
the ground. The snow is light and a
high wind has drifted it badly. The
railroads are using their snow buck
ing machinery.
Three locomotives were demolished
in a freight wreck at Borie, 20 miles
west of here, caused by two trains be-
ing unable to see each other on account
of the binding storm. Traffic was de-
layed five hours.
The live stock losses from this and
former storms are enormous. Re-
ports which have been lacking up to
this time show that thousands of cat
tie and sheep have been lost. One
ranch alone lost $500 head of cattle,
and another lost 5000 sheep. All the
small ranchmen in western Nebraska
and South Dakota and eastern Wyom-
ing have lost heavily. The temper

Must the Maine senate fll the vacancy
in the Cumberland county delegation
caused by the death OF Senator Hodgdon
This is question which was being gen.
orally discussed in Portland yesterday,
aud ths opinions Of goo1 lawyers seemed
to be somewhat at Variance as TO the law
In the case. That portion Of the consti-
tuition Of Maine which applies to this case
10 as follows:
Article 3. Sec. 8. The Stnate shall on
the said first Wednesday Of January. an
nuAlIy, determine who are elected by .
plurality OF votes to be Senators In each
district; and In case the full number OF
s snators to be elected from each district
shall not have been 50 elected, the Iuem-
Ders of the House of Representatives ana
such Senators, as shall have been elected,
shall, from the highest numbers of. the
persons voted for, on said list, equal to
twice the number OF Senators deficient.
In every district. II there be 90 many
voted for, elect by joint ballot the num-
Der Of Senators required; and in this
manner all vacancies In the Senate shall
be supplied IS soon as may be, after said
vacancies happen.
The constitution provides that vacancies
In the House of Representatives may be
filled BY new election, but in the case
OF the vacancy in the Senate the section
in the constitution above quoted seems
mandatory that the vacancy must be
tiIled In the manner there sst forth.
There were four Republicans, four
Democratic and tour Prohibition candi-
dates voted for by the electors OF Gum
berland county last fall. According TO
this paragraph the two Senators recciv-
ing the highest number OF votes shall lie

dates for the Senate was as follows;
Gibbs Of BridRton recsived 6S65, Pennell

Therefore Gibbs and Pennell are the con-

caused by Senator Hodgdons death.
One OF these two men, as Hrnany lawyers
here view the matter, must bs selected TO
tiIl the unsxpirsd term OF Senator Hodg-
