The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1901-10-22

II common report is to be trusted,
a scandal Of considerable moment is
brewing at Fort Leavenworth, that
may result in the degradation OF the
authorities of that institution. Reyela-
tions have been made by a prisoner
confined In the stockade which are GER
tainly deserving of investigation, for
they alleged that neither the letter nor
the spirit of the law is lived to in the
case of the star prisoner, Capt Ober-
lin M. Carter. and that favoritism is
practised within the government peni-
tentiary.
Carter will be remembered as the
former United States army officer who,
after ~defrauding the government out
of millions of dollars on contracts at
Savannah and being tried for his
crimes by court martial, was stripped
OF his rank and uniform and confined
In Fort Leavenworth on a long SEN
tence, which was supposed to carry
with It labor OF the most mental kind.
For a time the ruling OF the court mar
tial was carried out to the letter, and
Carter was reported to be %propelling a
wheelbarrow In garden work as a PEN
ance for his ~misdeeeds, but according
to the prisoner who now makes com
plant this state of affairs no longer
obtains. Instead of receiving the same
treatment as the others under SEN
tence, Carter is the object of special
consideration from the prison authori-
ties and his fellow culprits are on the
verge Of mutiny over his case.
A part of Carriers sentence, like that
Of all degraded officers, was that he
should have no association with army
officers and that any of the latter who
should engage in any social intercourse
with him would be open to the severest
discipline, yet II Is said that some of
the officers at Fort Leavenworth have
violated the spirit and the letter of this
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1901-10-22

injunction. 1t is alleged, among other
things, that while the poor devils who
are serving time for minor offenses
are treated like slaves, the ~ex-oficer
who was convicted OF the greatest
thievery In the annals of the govern
ment service is enjoying a remarkable
measure of liberty; that he plays golf
with other attaches of the place; that
his cell has beer made more comfort
ehIe by the mysterious touch of UNI
known hands, and that the star pris-
oner does not subsist upon the homely
prison fare allotted TO other convicts,
but is secretly supplied with extra food
and dainties, apparently from some
officers headquarters. All this of
course is not lone openly, and the APP
pearance of unprecedented treatment Of
Carter is kept on its face. but the other
prisoners were not slow to grasp the
situation, and their ~grumblings have
finally led one OF them with more nerve
than the rest to make an open COM
plant. His charges have been for
warded to the department OF justice at
Washington.
1t is not presumed that the war de-
partment has connived In or even
winked at the favoritism shown to
Carter, II the charges be true, but II is
more likely that 1t has been due to a
feeling of sympathy of some of the
penitentlary attaches for Carter who
is an educated man with uncommonly
pleasing address and a personality
that would be likely to win favor any
where. Il is possible that some of Car
ter's former associates at West Point
or in the army service are stationed at
Fort Leavenworth and have broken the
rules in his case for old times sake.
How far this may be true will be
brought out in the investigation which
will probably be made, and If the ac-
cusations are proven 1t is hardly doubt
full that Secretary Root will shake NJ
Fort L~eavenworth in a way that will
provide a lesson for a good many years
to come to like officials here and else.

His holiness the pope is much sought
after as a sitter by painters, whose

an artist meets with a refusal. Quite
recently one of these painters, having

to honor him by i%nscribing upon II

Some time ago there was published
a number of things which, according
to the discoveries of science, the hui
man race must not do. Now it is nee
essary to remark on the alleged dis
closures as to what the human race
must not eat.
Bread may contain alum, milk may

truchinosis, and a list of deleterious
things which water may pour into our

supposed that there was one edible

less. Yet science is trying to cut us
off from that. 1t is asserted that a
Washington analyst has discovered
large quantities of solanin in potatoes,

times the start was wrong, but in he

Once he thought he had discovered a
violinist of rare promise. From an
humble position in life Mr.. Vanderlip
sent him to an Italian master. In ten
months his protege wrote that he no

work had established his inability to

All Doctors have tried to cure
CATARRH by the use of powders, acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste form.
Their powders dry up the mucuous MEM

bleed. The powerful acids used in the
inhalers have entirely eaten away the
same membranes that their makers have
aimed to cure, while pastes and ONT
ments cannot reach the disease. An old
and experienced practitioner who has
for many years made close study and
specially of the treatment Of CATARRH,
has at last perfected Treatment which
when faithfully used, not only relieves at
on,e, but permanently cures CATARRH,
by removing the cause, stopping the dis
charges, and curing all Inflammation. 1t
