The plan for handling the government
revenues which Mr.. Gage is said to have
thought out very carefully is to keep
some $50, 0O0. 600 at all times in the public
treasury as a daily working cash bal
ance and to deposit all the revenues as
they are collected in the national banks
of the clearing house cities, in each
bank in proportion to its capital and
surplus, on the security of its general
assets, making the government claim
first lien thereon and charging the
banks interest for the use of the money.
The farmers of the west and south
had a scheme some years ago for es-
tablishing a government loan office but
it did not seem to meet with any great
degree of favor. 1t was not proposed,
however, to loan to the banks but to
those who had no money and were in
need of cash and were prepared to put
UP tangible security.

CUTS NEW CHANNEL.
John Van Vechten Completes Large
Job For the Santa Fe

John Van Vechten has just returned
from Osawkie, Jefferson county, where
he has been for the past two months
making about 81, 600 worth Of changes
in the face of nature for the Santa F'e's
Leavenworth branch
There is little creek near Osawk1e
which is so innocent and inoffensive in
dry times that people forget its name
But once in a while this creek gets fun
and goes on a tear. At such times it
washes out bridges. overfiows the farm
ers' cornields and does other damage
By cutting a new channel for this
stream through a hill, and leaving a
long loop of the creek dry, the Santa F'e
figured that all the trouble could be
averted Two bridges across the loop
could be dispensed with. Mr. Van
vechten got the contract for cutting
the new channel
He dug a ditch through a hill of
stone The ditch is $50 feet long, and
from to &c feet deep. The material
which he took out of the hill he used
to fill up the old bed of the creek,
where the two bridges cross. Fifteen
laborers and ten teams have been en-
ployed on the work for two months.
Mr. Van Vechten will now start the
work of grading for a block of pave
ment on Fillmore between Fourth and
Fifth.

searched. The sanctity of every bed
room was broken by the invaders, who
made remarks about the furnishings,
pictures and carpets, closely examined
the furniture to see if it was veneered,
gazed curiously into the speaking tubes
and pushed the electric buttons to see
how they worked. Every mirror that
crossed the line of march was admired
by the ladies, while the closely packed
procession waited for them to move on.
A lady wearing a red ribbon and 800
pounds net, did" the house from coal
shed to flag staff, and not a detail of the
furnishings escaped her. A brother from
the western district knocked because the
governor was not there to meet him,
and from the thorough manner in which
he went through the establishment, evil
IDENTIFY thought a cruel joke was being
played on him, and that his excellency
the governor was concealed about the
premises.
1t rained during the reception hours,
but the guests didn't mind that Drip
ping umbrellas shed their moisture on
the dining room floor while the owner
gazed in rapture at the paintings or
huckleberries and bananas Others who
had missed the sidewalk in their travels
left moist samples of Kansas soil on the
delicate carpets, but the genial hostess
smiled through it all, and the reception
will be told of by the visitors to future
generations.

CAPTURED A THIEF
Officer Pavey Narrowly Escapes
Being Shot.
Man Under Arrest Got the Drop
on Him.

An exciting arrest occurred at 1880
today when Police Officer Pavey cap
tured George Crone, a horsethief.
Crone stole three horses from Laird
McCrum of Mcfarland on the 9th, and
sold two of them at a sale in Dover
yesterday. Today he went out in the
country where he had left the third
horse and brought it in to Topeka
Sheriff Cook and Chief Stahl had been
notified to look out for him, but the
description given did not tally with his
appearance today. Instead of the rough
clothes worn when he stole the horses,
ne wore new clothes.
Pavey found that he had a rig out or
w. Lawless' barn on Quincy street,
and got to the barn just in time to see
him drive in.
Pavey asked his name and told him
to come down to the station as he had
something to say to him. st guess you
have got the wrong man. said Crone,
and walked along with Pavey toward
Kansas avenue. When opposite the
Fifth Avenue hotel Crone suddenly ask
ed, What am wanted for? Horse
stealing" answered Pavey. Quick as a
flash Crone presented a dangerous
looking revolver at Pavey's breast ana
said, Throw up your hands, you -
.'' PaVey threw up his hands,. DuJ
they came in contact with the gun and
Crone's throat. Wen see about that,
he said, and a fight ensued, the horse
thief endeavoring to force the gun down
on a level with Pavey's breast. PaVey
got firm grip on the revolver, but the
fight was still hard one, when bar
Der named Griffin ran out of his shop
and assisted the officer, holding Crone
while Pavey wrenched the gun from his
hand
When he was disarmed he was tame,
and refused to run as PaVey politely
invited him to do
He will be turned over to Sheriff F.
J. Frye, of Wabaunsee county, tonight,
and taken back to Alma when cap
tured Crone had a note on man
named Gallagher for $50. He had
cashed one note for $42 on F. w. Bliss,
who also bought one of the horses.
Crone auctioned the two horses of
himself at the Dover SALE and after he
had left a little girl found that he had
left his coat. In one of the pockets was
a letter addressed to Laird McCrum,
Mcfarland, Kansas. Mr.. bergman
at once notified AdcCrun, with whom he
was acquainted and the circuit of evil
dence was complete. Crone had not
only stolen three horses from McCrum,
but had carried off his coat with the
tell-tale letter Crone is about 80 years
old and one of LawleSS' men identihed
him as the man who tried to sell three
horses to Lawless last year. Not liking
his looks, I4awlass refused to buy them,
and he took them on to Kansas City

The attraction at the Davidson last

ford and a strong company of players,
is another of Manager Ernich'S book
ings that has proven successful. The
play abounds in comical situations
which were fully and capably brought
out by Mr.. Beresford, who played the
part of Seamore Sites. The support
was good and on the whole the play
was a strong comedy. The young Ia
dies were strikingly pretty, which is a
feature that cannot escape the notice
of a critical audience, and the scenery
was unusually fine for i comedy. Mr..
Beresford is an artist in his line and it
is doubtful If an actor ever held the
boards at the Davidson who created
more laughter and produced more
funny sayings at appropriate occasions
than did this capable young comedian.
