Washington, July 31.-The federal
grand jury here which has been con-
sidering cases arising from the postal
investigation has agreed upon four ad-
ditional indictments for conspiracy
against August W. Machen. the former

cry service of the postoffice department,
and an indictment of another party, a
private individual here, in connection
with a postal contract for presenting a
false claim to the government.
The four new indictments of Machen
are based on separate and distinct
transactions and wholly apart from the
indictments reported against him sew
eral weeks ago by the grand jury for
conspiracy. Machen is now in this city
under bond. The fifth indictment re-
lates to the transaction of a man sup
posed to be in the west. who will be

Debate.

John Waters has return from a trip
east. While riding between Chicago and
Moline, ILL.,, he was on the same train
with Senator Burton and Senator Till
man, who are touring the country and
debating on the negro problem. Till
man and Burton were having a private
discussion of the question. Waters and
other passengers invited the two sena-
tors to the smoker to debate. Both ac
cepted and the debate started with Wa
tiers as referee. Tillman and Burton be-
came interested and gave as much zest
to the impromptu debate as they would
from platform. When the debate was
closed Waters suggested that the peO-
pie in the smoker vote on the question
of which senator won.
The ballot stood to s. Waters sug-
gested that the colored porter be called
to cast the deciding vote.

with a smile, but you can't count him.

Saturday night for interfering with an
officer. The case came up in police
court last evening, and Riley, who
made the arrest, told how it happened.
It seems that Riley had arrested
bunch of buns, and was holding them
at the U. P. depot pending the arrival
of the dark Maria. when Mr.. kortz.
Waterman of the u. p. yards, arrived
and ordered Riley to release the vic
Tins, as a policeman had no right to
make a pinch on railroad property
without HIS consent. Then he con-
tinued in the same strain, and told
Riley a lot about the Topeka police
force which would have tickled the ear
of the late Rev. DR.. Mcfarland. Then
he exposed to the weather a star
bearing the sign of a deputy, which he
calculated would make the officer drop
dead. But Riley, instead of faint:ne.
announced that his star was the larg-
est and that Mr.. Kortz would oblige
him greatly by adding himself to the
bunch of hoboes who were awaiting
transportation. After hearing the facts

Kortz $40 for interfering with an Off
