TULLOCH'S CHARGES.
Certain Oficials Mentioned Asked for
Explanations by Mr. Payne.
SOME REMARKS MADE By Mr.. PAYNE
The Difference Between Charges Of IErsg~
uIarity and Of Actual violation Of Law
Pointed Out by the POstmaS. -
ter General

Washington, May 1o.-PostmasteE
General Payne yesterday sent letters
to the comptroller Of the treasury
the auditor Of the post Office depart
ment and other ofiicials, calling their
attention to statements made by ex'
Cashier TulloCh In his communities
tion of last Saturday. The letters
ask for any explanation or furtheE
information that might throw hghs
on the subject. The formal charges
Of Mr.. Tulloch, Mr.. Payne said, have
been dissected and that matter re-
lating to particular branches OF the
service referred to the bureaus hay~
ing Jurisdiction for report MI
Payne said last night that he rs
garded the charge against the audi
tor and the comptroller as the most
serious Of the allegations. He saad
that II those officials "allowed Inn
proper accounts to be audited or sup
pressed, what might be called 'Pey
dirt had been found In the charges
impugning their good faith and IN
tegrity."
Mr.. Payne pointed out differences
which existed between charges OF ir-
regularity and of actual violation of
law. "a government official" he said
may buy something which he has
no authority TO purchase and no au-
thority to pay for, but the govern
ment gets the use of the article.

necessarily mean anything unlawful
The department may pay out OF the

design, yet that need not be unlaw.
full" He said In this connection that
the charge regarding the disallow-
ance by the comptroller OF between
100000 and $4,000 was q charge OF
irregularity and not of unlawful
ness, and he understood that prac-
, tically all of this sum had been sub
sequently allowed.
ut is unfair" he suggested, TO
make the public believe that the gov
ernment has been cheated out on
such an amount of money when ~
was only Q question of irregular1ty
in accounting"
Speaking generally. the postmas-
ter general said the original letters
of the officials against whom Mr.. Tul-
loch made accusations were neces.
sarily general in tenor, but now that
the Tulloch letter furnished some
thing more definite In the way OF
charges they win have an opportur
uity TO make more definite replies.
"Mr. BrIstow,' he said, went very
carefully over Mr.. Tulloch's charges
and he has selected such things e
ought 10 be considered and investa-
gated"

RIVER IS ADJOINING.
Broke the Levees and Spread over
the Fields.

[F'rom Tuesdays Daily.1
The Smoky Hill went wild last
night and broke the levees that pro-
tected the fields south OF town. IL
spread over several hundred acres on
the north side Of the street, covering
J. H. Engle's farm, except Tor a Jew
knoIls, one being that on which the
house stands, also much OF the Lam
dis farm.
Pearl Ross came in boat over the
fields to the foot Of Buckeye avenue
this morning.
Some trouble with the lower man
holes on the sewer outlet is reported,
the high water backing into the pipe
and the sewerage overhowing on
fields. This will probably not be
serious. The water is the highest in
many years.
On the Engle farm some milch cows
were marooned on an island and it
was necessary to row to them over
the flooded fields to milk.
At $3.50 o'clock this afternoon the
river was rising slightly. Teams
| could however cross the bridge south
Of town, the water being about 8 feet
deep over the road.
SOLOMON IS HIGH.
SOLOMON, May 19.-The water in
the Solomon river here is five or elk
inches higher than the highest mark
last summer and old timers say 1t is
above the highest mark ever reached
since the white men settled in this
valley. The river is not rising and
no more damage is feared. Between II
| o'clock and 2 o'clock yesterday the
rise was fully two inches. The high
est point has probably been reached
A washout occurred in the old rivel
bad on the Rock Island but it ha'
been repaired and trains are running
again regularly.
Solomon branch trains on the U. ?
commenced running today.

"GREEN SICKNESS" I"

The unhealthy complexion
of green sickness is changed
to the rosy blush of good
health by SCOTS Emulsion.
Green sickness is one Of
the forms Of blood disease
found in young women. The
change from girlhood to wo-
manhood often upsets the
nervous system, weakens dI-
gestion and throws the blood
making organs out of gear.
SCOTS Emulsion puts new
heart into pale girls. 1t tones
up the nervous and digestive
system, and feeds the blood.
1t is a natural tonic.
Remember that 3oPer cent
Of these cases go on into con-
sumption unless prevented.
Scots Emulsion prevents
consumption.

Citizens Petition Council
But 1t Will Continue

body to order the fair stopped claim.
ing that II made too much noise.
Rev. c. p Thornton was present
and acted as Spokesman for the ciH-

matter was discussed for some time
and It was decided not to Interfere
with the carnival. and to let In con.
tinue through today.
This little AFFAIR OF amusement.
which has encountered so much trou-
Bile and caused so much talk inthe city
will come to a close tonight. and it
might be said that the managers will
find themselves behind a couple Of
hundred dollars. While the
fair has been pretty well patronized
since its opened, the owners lost
money here during the first part Of
the week, when they were awaiting
the action Of council to begin bust
ness.
However, Manager Berger and his
employees will leave the city tomorrow
and 1t is not probable that they will
again soon put their feet on Brunswick

Mamma-"With, bated breath" my

The phrase in such instances, howev-

E1RLY RECIPE FOR MIXING COFFEE

Sir Thomas Upton has among the treasures
Of his library old cook book, published in
1862 that gives what is perhaps the first Eng
Gsh recipe for coffee The recipe reads:
ITO make the drink that is much used,
called coffee.
The coffee berries to be bought at any
Druggist about seven shllings the pound. Take
what quantity you please, and over charcoal
fire, in an old frying pan, keep them always
stirring until they be quite black, and when
you crack one with your teeth that it is black
within as it is without, yet if you exceed, then
do you waste the Oyl ard if less, then will it
not deliver its Oyl; and if you should continue
fire till it be white, it viii then make coffee,
but only give you its salt Beat and force
through a lawn sieve.
Take clear water, and boil one-third Of 1t
away, and it is fit for use. Take quart of
this prepared water, put in 1t one ounce of your
pIeT&red coffee, and boil it gently one hour, and
1t is ct for your use; drink one-quarter of
pint hot you sip it. 1t doth abate the
fury and sharpness of the Acrimony, which is
tie sender Of the Diseases called Cronical."
