HAND WRITING EXPERTS.
Ruin a Man Financially and Worry
Him Two Years.
GUILTY PARTY SAVES HIM.

Guthrie, O. r., March lG,-Thc
strange case of ex.Postmaster George
G. Boggs, of Shawnee, Pottawatomic
county, will be used as an argument
against convicting suspected persons
on the testimony of handwriting az
lcrts in future cases.
In 1897 Mr.. Boggs was appointed
postmaster when only 20 years of age
but he was endorsed by the best bust
ness men of that city, who had Known
him for several years, during which
time he had won a reputation for hon
esty and square business ability that
any man might envy.
On November ), Of the same ycsr
registered packages, containing $780,
money Mr.. Boggs had receipted for as
entering his office, were missing. Eight
days afterward, the money was found
in the door box of the old postotfice,
the office having been moved the day
before. Around the bills were two
sheets of notcpaper, on the inner one
being written Take your money and
be more careful next time" On the
outer sheet was this direction: Post
master of Shawnee" Mr.. Boggs no
tilted the government and an inspector
was detailed to solve the mystery sur
rounding the theft and return OF the
money.
The inspectors investigation ended
in the arrest Of Boggs He protested
his innocence, but at his trial the gov
ernment produced experts in handwri-
ting who swore positively that the
handwriting on the paper inclosing
the bills was Boggs', and he was con-
victed mainly on this testimony.
After two years letter reached the
president stating that the writer was
the guilty party and that he would
confess and take a short pcnitentiary
sentence if Boggs was turned loose
and reinstated as postmaster.
The courts having failed to give
Boggs relief, his friends prepared
monster petition asking for executive
clemencv, which was refused and the
prison doors once more yawned for
Boggs, when the unexpected happened
-Lovelady confessed. According to
Lovelady's statement the package had
been sent by mistake to the Tecumseh
postoffice where Lovelady was chief
clerk, and had not been receipted for
at that Office. Lovelady was tempted
and took the money, but remembering
that the numbers of the bills were GER
tainly recorded somewhere he took the
money to Shawnee and placed it where
it was found.
While the expense of the many trials
has ruined Mr.. Boggs financially, he
and his many friends are overjoyed at
his vindication, and as soon as he is
released from custody he will be helped
to get on his feet again. His faithful
wife has never doubted his innocence.
Love lady will probably go free.

II was said at the war department
that this closes us the Chinese question
so far as the war department is con-
cerned. as the protection of the lega-
ton can in no sense be taken as
occupation of Chinese ground and the
guard cannot be used for any other
purpose.

China Appeals Against Russia.

Washington, March l6.--There is
reason to believe that China has
appealed to the 'nitcd States in her
extremity in the matter of the occupa-
ton of Manchuria by Russia, Whether
the appeal is broader and is to other
nations as well it is not possible to
learn at present. Minister WI has
been almost a daily caller at the state
department and it is evident that the
Chinese are impressed by the belief
that the crisis has been reached and
the destiny of Manchuria depends upon
the action of the powers.

NAV Helm Western Counties.

Topeka, March 16.-Western coun-
ties are expected to benefit by the new
law which reduces the minimum for
the appraisement of school land from
81 to SIPS per acre. All the school
land is taken up in the eastern part of
the state, but good deal remains
unsettled in the short grass country.
In boom days the price was set at
high figure and the action of this leg
islature in putting it at its real value
is expected to result in the sale OF more
land and the consequent return of
additional taxes to the counties.

REVIEW OF FREDERICK EMORY'S
"A MARYLAND MANOR"

that a man of the highest birth, saving roy
aity itself, could be brought to the condi-
ton of actual. physical bondage by DEFY
ing the stern customs OF early New Eng,
land. Mr.. Emory'S motive is the reversed
tradition that IN the society OIL
Maryland. until the Civil War, the first
families" constituted a caste, controlling
politics and marriage. into which nobody
was admitted until he had at least a grand
father to show.
1t is this tradition which can well be
made a point of discussion, for 1t has been
applied to every part of the Atlantic south.
AS a matter of fact no such condition ever
existed in Maryland. or in any other South,

alive than by those of a hundred or of
fifty years ago. OF course, the world over:

a social feather flock together; by habit, by
instinct, by preference. OF course. the
world over a man born and reared in one
condition of life does not easily acquire the
perfect and unconscious harmony of ideas,
conversation and conduct with another con-
dition which removes prejudice and con-
Straint.
That all aside, and with possibly a few
other qualifications. il is safe to say that
there never was in the South an exclusive

a great deal of talk about pedigree. es-

SOME THINGS FOR sPRING,
Popularity of Laces, Insertions and
EmbrOiderieN.

Laces. insertions and embroideries in
white and colors are p%rodigally used in the
making up of wash gowns for this sea-
son, the majority of which, however. are
not Intended ever to pass through the cru
chile Of the laundry. There are many new
and very beautiful patterns in batiste, India
null, nainsook and bishops lawn en-
broideries, and added to these are the Irish
point. Swiss. Renaissance and countless
guipure designs with matching all-overs,
which appear to have lost none of their pop
ularity.
There has been a heavy purchase this
season of genuine Scotch cheviots and
tweeds. as these materials are in high favor
for cycling and travelling costumes. The
new patterns are neat and smart in effect,
and. besides. the soft gray and brown dyes
show any number of pretty color-blendings.
The durability of these goods We are en-
TREY familiar with. For general use they
rank in equal favor with English serge
and the stylish waterproof cravenettes.
In making UP lace gowns in either black,
white or ecru. it should be remembered that
watered silk as a foundation has always
been considered by French authorities great
ly to enhance the beauty of all lace pat
terms, either in f1ouncing or net form. In
genious modistes are trying all sorts of eff
fects in arranging flounclng laces, to lender
them graceful, while keeping the designs
in such position as to show them to adj
vantage. There are certain patterns. how
ever, among fancy laces. which may be adj
justed in tucks or pleatings. with no detri-
ment to the effect of the woven dreams"
wrought in the weblike meshes.
