REVELATIONS APPALLING.
Never Before I'm American History Has 30
Much Crookedness Been Unearthed
~ In &c. Louis.

st. Louis, June 2.-The April grand
jury, which has been investigating
municipal corruption with the assist
ance of Circuit Attorney Joseph w.
Folk, made its final report Saturday
to Judge Douglas. The report says
that "while there may have been cor
ruption in other cities as great as
we have had here, yet in no place
In the world and in no time of his
tory has so much official corruption
been uncovered and the evidence
shown SO that all could see and un-
derstand. These revelations have
been 80 appalling as to be almost be-
yond belief and IL will be years be-
fore the extent of the discoveries
are fully realized"
The report closes as follows:
"These disclosures make plain that
the tax payers of st. Louis have been
mercilessly and pitilessly outraged
for years, that the money they have
paid in taxes has been squandered;
instead of being used for the public
welfare it has been feloniously dissi-
pated and benefited chiefly corrupt
officials who have grown opulent on
small salaries. It IN in the evidence
before us that former collector of
the city of st. Louis, who was after
ward mayor, received interest on
public funds for his own private ac-
count. The sum SO received was
something over $4,000 which with
interest to date would amount to
about 100000. Any possible crimi-
nal charge arising out of this conduct
has been barred by the statute Of
limitation, which unfortunately is
three years. A civil action to re-
:over the money, however, can still
be brought and we understand will
be instituted"

Proposition to Get Bounty for Veterans.

Topeka, Kan, June "A. w.
Smith, of Mcpherson, is going to
submit proposition to congress that
will be Of deep interest to many sol
diers of the civil war. In 1864 the
government paid bounty OF $500 to
each soldier who would veteranize.
At that time about $4,000 union sol
diers were in rebel prisons and could
not veteranize. After their release
they were kept in the army until
the war was over. They served just
as long as those did who veteranized.
Now Mr.. Smith believes that they
are entitled to the bounty.

preparations for its first campaign
this year. The state convention Of
the party has been called to meet in
Hutchinson soon. Secretary M. N.
Butler, Of the state central commit
tee, gave out statement in which
he declared that the leaders Of the
party favored the nomination of j.
d. Botlin for congressman-at-large,

win be the populist nominee for gov
ernor. The populist state convention
does not meet until June "a and the
home rule party may nominate Bot
lin for another Office before that
time. Friends Of Mr.. Botdn are try
ing to direct the attention Of the
home rule organization to some other
candidate for congress, as they are
afraid that he might not reject the
homo rule nomination and this would
prevent his nomination by the popu-
lists.
