CHAPTER II.

The major. sought to block that
2 morning '[1ll1 ride in vain. The impet-
tuous will of the younger soldier pre-
vailed, as he might have known it
would, and from the rear gallery of
his quarters, with his strong field
glass, Maj. Webb watched the pair
fording the Platte far UP beyond
Pyramid Butte. "Going over to that
damned Sioux village again. he
sWore between his set teeth. '.That
makes the third time she's headed
him in there this week. and with
strange annoyance at heart he turned
away to seek comfort in council with
his stanch henchman, Capt. Ray,
when the orderly came bounding up
the steps with a telegraphic dispatch
which the major opened, read, turned
q shade grayer and whistled low.
My compliments to Capts. Blake
and Ray" said he, to the silent young
soldier, standing attention at the
door step, "and say should be glad
to see them here at once" s5el
That night the sentries had just
called off half past one when there
was some commotion at the guard
house. A courier had ridden in post
haste from the outlying station Of
Fort Beecher, far up under the lee
OF the Big Horn range. The corporal
OF the guard took charge of his reek-
ing horse, while the sergeant led the
messenger to the commanders quar-

guard scurried away to the soldier

again came forth his field glasses
were in his hand and he hurried down
the steps and out into the broad
sheen of the moonlight when: he
caught sight of the courier seated on
the horseback at the gate, wearily
leaning his head upon his gauntleted
hand. Webb stopped short: ~-...
"Come right in here, my lad," he
cried, II want to speak with you,"
and followed slowly by the soldier,
he entered his parlor, and whirled
an easy chair in front of the open
fireplace. "Sit right down there now,
and I'll be with you in minute"
he added; hustled into the rear room
and presently reappeared with de-
canter and glass; poured out stiff

added and off came the right hand

so much as wink. Then, true to
his training, set down the glass and

ADMITS HE WHIPPED HER
But Warden Allagood Denies the
Other Charge Against Him.

Milledeeville. Ca, Aug. 1S.-The taking
of testimony by the Georgia prison COM
mittee in the case Of excessive cruelty
charged against Warden Allagood has
been completed. After examining the
volumfnous evidence the committee will
formulate its report to Governor Terrell.
Warden Allagoods testimony was de-
NAL of Miss Decris' charges Of improper
proposals. He admitted whipping her
and said the punishment had become nee
essary because Of INSTRUMENTATION. He put
her to work In the fields after her punish
ment, he said, because he wanted her to
realize what an easy time she was hav-
ing in the house." Evidence also was
given that Warden Allagood was thu
reproach."
Shocked by the disclosures in the case,
the legislature has passed a resolution for
bidding the whipping of female convicts.
The resolution was the result Of hun
dreds Of kilograms begging the legislature
to take action which would render a repe-
tftion of the Decrist affair impossible. In
addition Warden Allagood, who so I'M
mercifiully flogged the woman, will be dis
charged. 81 .#x.s.,
The warden makes the following state

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, Aug. 13.-Fifty persons
who had gathered at the dairy farm Of
Senator Stewart of Nevada, near this city,
and were served there with a light
luncheon, were seriously affected yester-
day by ptomaine poisoning. The farm is
near Ashburn, Va, about twenty miles
outside of Washington. A large number
Of persons went there to attend the sale
Of the property. The senator served the
prospective buyers with coffee, ham and
beef sandwiches.
Shortly afterward many Of the guests
were taken violently Ill. One after anoth-
er they fell to the ground writing in
agony. Horsemen were dispatched in all
directions for doctors, and number re-
sponded and took prompt measures to re-
lieye the sufferers.
In a statement issued this morning the
doctors said that their patients were out
Of danger, altho many still are quite ill.
An investigation developed the fact that
the beef which had been purchased In
Washington and kept in cold storage on
the farm for several days, was the cause
Of the trouble.

Rep. Hepburn Paints Dark Future for
Financial Legislation.
From The Journal Bureau, Room 45, Post Build
ing, Washington.
Washington, Aug. misrepresentation
Hepburn Of Iowa who Is In Washington
for a short time on departmental bust
ness Is doubtful whether any financial
legislation will be enacted next winter.
He had a long conference with Secretary
Shaw to-day, at which the proposed leg
islation was discussed, and at the con-
clusion of the talk predicted failure for
any bill drawn because Of the divergent
views of the members of the majority
party. 80. ....
do you know Of any financial measure
that has been proposed he said, upon
which a dozen men In congress Is likely
to agree?" The fact is there Is no
scarcity Of currency. On Aug. the stock
OF money in this country amounted to
81, ee5 ZOO, 900. Of which $1,225, 100000 was
gold. BY way Of contrast, to afford an
appreciation Of what this amount of
money means, recall that in 1861 the total
stock Of money amounted to only s4o7.-
GOO, 900, Of which but 5000, 000, 1000 was
gold, while the rest was seriously depre-
ciated paper. None Of our present great
stock Of money Is deprecated or In dan
ger Of depreciation. In addition to this
the volume Of credit money Is immense.
''The idea that great draft on New
York for money to move crops will be
made is not we'll founded. The producers
of the west have plenty Of money for their
purpose, and large surplus in the banks
In Chicago and New York, where they
can draw some interest from it. Much Of
the crop moving Is on credit money, and
the only danger Of a great drain on the
banks in the east would be If producers
of the west should become distrustful and
Withdraw their money rapidly thru fear
of losing It, Then there might be a Sc
rious situation, but it is not thing
likely to occur"
ton Representative Hepburn said he
thought there could be little doubt Of the
passage Of the necessary measure to put
the treaty into effect.

They have been an expensive but useful

of the present depression that it has no

absorption of manufactured and agricul-
