DEATH OF R. M. ]. ATWELL.

a Brief Illness.

Richard NJ. j. Atwell, one OF the old
residents of this city. died yesterday
afternoon at $50 O'Clock at his residence.

ness. He was in his sixty-third year.
Mr.. Atwell took to his bed about three
weeks ago. and DR.. L. l.. Frederick was
called in. Since then everything possible
had been done for him, but he grew grad
ually weaker and finally died. with his son
and two daughters by his side. Mrs. AT

Divided in Opinion.

Considerable controversy has resulted
In police circles as result of the find
ing of the body. Although nearly every
one of the detectives is familiar with the
rumors about it. they are divided in opin-
ion as TO how Turner met his death Some
OF them believe he was killed, while
others think he took his own life. Those
maintaining the latter theory in support
of their views hold out the fact that he
purchased the revolver found lying be-
side him in the woods in this city before
going away He also pawned his watch
under the same name that he bought the
weapon.
On the other hand the few who insist
that it is case of murder rely mainly
upon the stab wound which is located in
his right side, and which, according to
DIR. Evans. who performed the autopsy, ii
was impossible for one to infiict upon
himself

]. s. CONSUL DICKEY
REMOVED FROM POST
Will Not Return to Callao
When Leave Expires.
WASHlNGTONIAN APPOINTED
Former Vice Consul Mcbride Charges
That Mr. Dickey Has Been System
atically Defrauding the Government
State Departments Decision.

The State Department has decided that
in view of the many charges made against
United States Consul w. B. Dickey, at
Callao, it would be better not to send him
back to his post after the expiration of
his present leave of absence.
For some months the department has
had under investigation charges preferred
against Mr.. Dickey by Mr.. William S. Nc
Bride, formerly vice consul at Callao, and
prelimir ary inquiry into the case, it is
said has aatisfed the officials that there
is some ruth IN the allegations made
by Mr.. Nc Gride. Mr.. Dickey reached New
York few days ago.
Mr.. Charles V. Herdliska. of the Dis
trict of Columbia, now consul at San Juan
del Norte, Nicaragua, has been trans
ferred TO Callao TO fill the place held by
MIR. Dickey.
Mr. Dickey is a Maine man who served
in the Union army and settled in Louisi-
ana. He was consul at Baracoa, Cuba,
under President Harrison, and was ap-
pointed consul at Callao by President
Mckinley. The place paid him salary
and fees of nearly $4,000 year
Accusations Made Public.
Mr.. McBride's charges. which are of a
rather sensational character, were made
public by him in Lima paper recently,
copies of which reached Washington yes
terday. In an open letter Mr.. Mcbride al
legged that Dickey had been ''defrauding
the Government" and that he (McBride)
had been compelled to tell Dickey that he
could no longer serve under him.
1t seems that Mcbride has been sup
ported in the controversy between him and
his former chief by Abraham Lincoln
Post, C. A. R., of Lima" which organiza-
ton has sent Oh a report of the matter to
the State Department.
The report speaks of the vice consul as
an honest young man of pure moral life.
and contrasts him with Dickey. whom 1t
refers to in sharp terms. Each is
member of the post. and the report states
that demand was sent in March to the
Grand Army of the Republic commander
asking that Dickey be expelled from the
order.
The Vice Consul's Charges.
In McBride's communication is given
statement of the trouble between himself
and the consul. He says in part:
The I4th of last May plainly told tho
United States consul. William B. Dickey,
that he was systematically defrauding the
Government that had intrusted to him the
high position he held.
II gave him to clearly understand that

PULLMAN ORDINARY
SLEEPERS.

The tourist travel between the
East and the Pacific Coast has
reached enormous proportions in
the last few years, and calls iOr a
,eecia, class OF equipment. To
meet this demand the Pullman
Company has issued from its shops
what it technically calls the Pull
man Ordinary Sleeper" These
cars appear similar to the regular
sleepers being bnilt on the same
plan. but not furnished with the
same elegance. They are equipped
with mattresses. blankets, sheets,
pillows, pillow-cases. towels. combs.
brushes. etc, requiring nothing OF
the kind to be furnished by the
passenger. Each car has a stove
for making tea and coffee and do
ing light housekeeping and each
section can be fitted with al ad-
Unstable table. A uniformed por-
/ ter accompanies each car. his busi-
ness being to make up berths,

| the ants and comforts OF the pass

which a. dispatched daily from
Portland by the O. r. Il y. Co. is
to be found one OF these Pullman

tached to the "Chicago-Por

without change, and the one in the
Atlantic Express runs to Kansas
City without change. Passengers
in this car for Chicago change to q

Whiles tie farmer comes in for Z

keep in mind that many loggers
