THE FRANKLIN TREASURY
SHORTAGE.

The controversy between the treasu-
rer and the tax collector of Franklin
county has just been determined, an
account of which was published in the
press some weeks ago. The treasurer
claimed he was short in his accounts
to the amount of over $1,000 and that
this amount had not been paid to him
on settlement made on January 9th,
at which time the treasurer receipted
the sheriff for $1,000 He claimed that
he had only received $1,000 and that
the tax collector had in some way
withheld $1,000 and obtained the re-
ceipt by stratagem and fraud. The
treasurer, at the April term of the Cir
cult Court of Franklin county, in the
name of the district attorney, sued the
tax collector on his bond, but the dis
trict attorney dismissed this suit and
filed suit in the Chancery Court
against both the tax collector and
sheriff. This case was heard at Mead
vile last week, commencing on Tues
day and ending on Friday night in a
decree against the treasurer, ex-
onerating the tax collector in every
particular. AS to what became of the
lost funds, there are many conjectures,
but the majority of people in that
county believe that the treasurer lost
the money. The settlement was made
in the evening and ended at night and
the treasurer bundled up the money
and rode with it fourteen miles to his
home. He left all of the silver money
at Meadville in his vault and carried
off the paper money amounting to
some $1,000 without counting it. He
claimed to reach home with $3.50.
The case has attracted wide attention
because of the prominence of the par
ties. 1t was two months and twenty
days after the settlement before the
treasurer charged the tax collector
with failing to pay over.
A large array of legal talent ap-
peared in the case. District Attorney
E. II. Ratclif represented Franklin
county; j. H. Price, w. B. Nixon, Frank
Everett and Geo. Butler, appeared as
counsel for Treasurer Butler, and

Maria GeS in Missouri.

This is the way the editor of the
Palmyra MO- Spectator writes up
weddings in that town according to
his own convictions:
Willie Shortlike and Bette Bloom
ers were married at the church last
evening. The church was prettily
decorated with flowers and ported
plants, borrowed promiscuously over
town of people who didn't want to lend
them. The decorating was done under
protest by some of the ladies of the
the bride and they could't well refuse.
The ladies are of the opinion that il
the couple were so bent on having
stylish wedding they should have been
willing to have paid some one else to
chase all over town for day getting
flowers and then taking them home
again. The bride wore a handsome
Silverstein gown, made at home, and
the groom was diked out in a ten
dollar hand me-down suit. The ushers
wore cutaway suits, borrowed for the
occasion. Sallie Potts was maid of
honor and the concensus of opinion
was that she was two to one better
locker than the bride. The couple
took the morning train for st. Louis,
where they will spend more money in
a few days than Willie can earn in
three months. Willie says now he's
married he's going to settle down.
Some of our merchants think it would
have been better if he'd settle up first
The groom gets salary of twenty
seven dollars a month, which is about
the allowance Bette has been used to
for pin money. We wish for Willie's
sake that the old saying that it takes
no more to support two than one wasn't
lie. The bride sent US shoe box
full of a conglomeration of stuff sup
posed to be cake. If this is sample
of Bettie's cooking we feel sorry for
poor Willie. Our janitor's dog fell heir
to the cake, and now he's lying 10 the
cold ground. But this wedding is
none of our funeral. If Willie and
Bette are satisfied. we've no kick
coming.

A Rare Specimen.

While it is to be lamented, the con-
ditions brought forth in the following
paragraph from the Utica Herald are
existent almost everywhere. The
Herald says:
"The fact that the young manhood
of or country is far from perfect, not
fit to be modelled or patterned after,
was strikingly set forth few days
since, when lady of Utica announced
that she would give free board for a
month to any young man who is not
guilty of smoking, chewing or dip
ping" tobacco, who uses neither pro-
fame nor obscene language, nor drinks
anything calculated to intoxicate. To
get an idea or estimate of the number
of such persons in town, the writer
stated the conditions to 10 boys and
asked for the names of as many as
could meet the conditions imposed.
Only one boy of the n lumber responded.
He was very much in the minority,
but certainly should be proud of his
record. IT'S great calamity that no
more of our young men are able to fill
the conditions. There is no reason
why young man should indulge in
such practices. None of them add
personal adornment. None of them
benefit him morally, mentally or phys
ically. On the other hand, every in
dulger, who makes an honest confess
sion, will admit that he is injured to a
greater or lesser extent by using
either.

MONEY FOR THE SOUTH.
Northern Capitalists Will In
vest i'm Various Southern
Enterprises.

jackson Correspondence n. o. Picayune.l
A prominent Mississippian, identi-
fed with the business interests of the
State in many ways, who has just re-
turned from New York, brings a most
startling and gratifying report. For
obvious reasons, the Picayune CORE
spoudent does not give his name, but
he violates no confidence in stating
that it heads the list of many and va
ried interests in this State and city.
| This gentleman says that never before
has so much money, measuring up into
the millions, been ready for investment
in the South. The wealthiest men of
all the eastern cities, he states, have
organized for the purpose of investing
millions and millions in the South.
These investments will come in the
form of great trusts and bank compa-
MES, immensely increasing the amount
of available money in the South and
investments without limit in the tim
Der industries, in cotton manufactur-
ing, oil mills, tile factories, woodwork
ing enterprises of all kinds, and,
further, for the establishment of cot
ton warehouses, where the farmer may
store his cotton and the warehouse
loan him D per cent. money. These
warehouses are to be located within
easy access of the farmer This
promises, he says, to be record break
ing year in all industrial int rests and
in the development of the South, and
unless some unforeseen disaster should
appear within the next few years, the
outlook for Mississippi, and for the
South generally, to use his words, is
simply dazzling. The organizations
he mentioned are already effected, and
operations, even at this moment, he
states, are in progress. Representa-
tives of the warehouse company will
appear soon in all the cotton States
and, wherever feasible, warehouses will
be leased, and where not, new ones will
be built, the purpose being that this
new warehouse system shall be in full
operation for the next crop. 1t is I'M
derstood that immense capital is seek
| ing to possess the timber lands and
milling interests in Mississippi at al.
most any cost. And this very day ne
gotiations are pending for immense
deals.
The center of all this monied inter
ests, as stated by the gentleman who
has just returned from New York, will
be in the city of New Orleans, and the
demands Of the people for money in
the surrounding States will be sup
piled from that point.
1t is long lane that has no turn.
The West was the favored spot for the
investment of capital for many years,
but at last the matchless resources of
the South have challenged the atten-
ton of capital, and the South will per-
haps make more progress in five years
than in the past twenty-five. This will
surely result if the craftsmanship of
the South is equal to the occasion.

The Cleaning of the Vatican.


The Vatican has recently been over
hauled for the first time in four hun
dred years; and out of the eleven
thousand rooms, including the Pope's
private apartments, the picture gal.
leries, the library, the museums of
sculpture and archaeology, the casino
the Sistine and other chapels, and the
barracks of the Swiss Guards, over ten
tons of dirt were taken every day for
the first twelve or thirteen weeks, and
in large proportions also during the
remaining five months.
This will seem incredible no doubt
to many persons who have visited a
portion of these premises. Indeed, it
was not until the Pope began to study
bacteriology, that he appreciated that
there was any dirt whatever there.
In this great undertaking over five
thousand people were employed, and
one thousand loaves of bread a day
were consumed in the cleaning of wall
paper alone. Eight thousand brooms,
two thousand scrubbing brushes, five
thousand pounds of soap went in a
week.
The bread was used in such quaint
ties that to economic private bakery
was established. The overseer of this
work might have economical still
more if, for the Italian product, they
had substituted Fairbanks Gold Dust
washing powder and Fairy Soap. That
is wherein American housekeepers
have the advantage. Let the Gold
Dust twins do your work.

\ MODERN HEROD.
The Infamous L. $. Gen. Smith
Denounced for His Phillip
pine BarbariticS.

In the National House of Representa-
tives last week Mr.. Sibley, Republican,
of Pennsylvania, said he had been an
eXpansionist and defended the policy
of the administration in the acquisition
of the Philippines. Duty and honor,
he said, justified our position there.
The commercial welfare of the nation
demanded that we should control that
archipelago which stands as the gate
way to the Oriental world. He then
continued:
when | heard the statements made
that we were cruel in the conduct of
that war, | have thought, perhaps, the
partisan was speaking. But when
have read, as | have within the past
forty eight hours, that a general wear
ing the uniform of the United States,
one who stands under the shadow of
our flag, issues orders, not to conciliate
province, but to leave it bowling
years of age, then it seems to me that
humanity must have marched back

any man whose blood bounds in his
pulses, any man who has read his BIZ
BILE or who has been reared at the knee
of Christian woman, justify the per
petration of such cruelties upon an
other man who wears the guise and the
image of his Creator? And yet we
hear this man attempting to justify
acts by which men are pumped so full
of water as nearly to drown them and
then brought back to life by humping
them over the stomach with the butts
of muskets. That is not civilization,
that is not Outstanding the world |
am thankful that these are sporadical
cases. Against that, as man who be
longs, | hope, not alone to the Repub-
lican ranks, but to the whole brother
hood of man, the wide world round,

voice their protest against all such
measures. (ApplauSe). L nope the

mits, to discharge him dishonorably
from the service that he has disgraced.
tApplause.) He admits that he issued
the order to leave the province howl
ing waste and wilderness and to kill
all above ten years of age, the innocent
with the guilty. That man never ought
to be permitted to stay in the service
of the United States until the sun goes
down. He is disgrace not alone to
the party, but to every man who ever
wore the uniform of the United States
and he is blot and disgrace to our
present civilization. | care not how
adroitly his lawyers may frame their
plea or how subtle be their reasoning,
the fact admitted by his own mouth
that he issued such orders is sufficient
for the hope that there is the courage
and patriotism and the humanity aud
the Christianity at the other end of
the avenue that will not let him wear
the Federal uniform twenty four hours
