Stamps Are Not Counted.

AT one time there We're 800 tons OF
stamps on hand at the treasury depart
ment awaiting counting and destruc.
ton. A force of thirty clerks in addi.
ton to those regularly employed worked
for year in counting the stamps. The
stamps are then passed to the destruc-
ton committee. 1t Is plain that III
would have beer Impossible for this
committee of six to have made the
count and destroyed the stamps unless
they We're engaged six or seven years in
performing their duty as required by
law, yet the committee kept up the
work OF the forty regular clerks who
made the first count.
The destruction committee Is com.
PEELED under the law to make a sworr
statement that it has counted and
destroyed all of the stamps. In the
statements filed the words Counted
and" have been stricken out in nearly
every instance.
The simple fact Is that the members
of the destruction committee have moi
counted the stamps at all and there
have been great opportunities for theft
The value of stamps surrendered foi
redemption in the last year amounted
to several millions of dollars and the
number of stamps destroyed to many
millions more.
There is Il strong tip that Secretary
Shaw has called a halt on the giving

Washington, April 29.-The commil
tee which for nearly four months ha!
been Investigating conditions in TIL,
offices of the various auditors under tn,
treasury department has uncovered
loose methods to indicate there is dam
ger that the scandal enveloping the
postoffice and interior departments ma,
extend to the treasury.
The committee has secured a goot
deal of information which tends to show
that the eNtravagances and irregulari-
ties of the supply division of the post
office department might have beer
curbed and restricted very materially
If there had been closer auditing of the
accounts by the auditor of the treasury
for the postoffice department 1t is al
legged that III. A. Castle, auditor for the
postoffice department., has received d
good many favors of one kind and am
other from postottice department OFF,
Gals. and, While his honesty has moi
yet been called into question, it is con-
sidered a bad practice for an official
who is charged with the duty of pass
ing upon the accounts of other officials
to accept favors, however trivial, from
such officials.

MRS. SINCLAIR. GETS THE FARM i.
Downfall and Disgrace OF an Ex- offIcIaI
-. of Hamilton. County, -.


WEBSTER CITY, IOWA-The supreme
court of Iowa has affirmed the decision Of
the.lower court In the celebrated case Of
William Sinclair VS.. Elnora D. Sinclair.
This decision forever settles the title to
the big Sinclair farm In Cass township
Of this county in favor of Mrs. Sinclair.
The case had its beginning six years
ago when Mr., Sinclair was sheriff Of
Hamilton county and deals with the dis
grace and downfall of a man whose stand
Ing In the community was so high that
for a long time his infamy found few
believers. III ~
It was during sinclair's. second term
that 1t began to be whispered about, that
the sheriff was guilty Of associati1g with
one of the female characters whom he
had often confined in the county Jail as
ened into intimacy and soon 1t became a
matter of common knowledge that the
twain were living practically In open in
fanny. Before his term Of office closed
William Sinclair's desertion Of his family
shocked the city and community, furn-
ishing the biggest scandal in the history
of the county.
The woman who caused his downfall
was the notorious Nellie Hand, who for
years was the keeper of one Of the vilest
resorts in the city After going to the
depths with this woman Sinclair finally
made an attempt to rally his manhood
and leave her. Then began an interest
Ing run Of justice court cases and pre-
| liminarys hearings. Sinclair went back to
his wife. who forgave him.
The Hand woman became furious at
this turn Of affairs and threatened Sin
|.clairs life unless he at once returned to
her. Lest she should thru some legal
process secure a share Of the place. Sin
clair gave his wife a warranty deed tc
the farm and bill OF sale to the personal
property. After the matter had gone
thru several justice court hearings the
Hand woman finally regained her hold
upon Sinclair and the second fall Of the
man was greater than the first He left
his wife for the second time and agar
lived in open shame with Nellie Hand.
Sinclair and his paramour left the city
together. made a long tour thru Colorado
and for time lived in Boulder, Col
Later they returned to Iowa and lived a

to Boone where they now reside Ii

While the work Of actual mining has not
begun, between 1000 and 5000 tons Of
high grade ore have been taken from this
mine and can be sen on the dump piles.
This ore was taken from thte mine in the
work incidental to drifting and cross-cut-
ting. The exploration Of this property
was made with diamond drill and the ore
deposit was encountered at varying
depths, ranging from 100 to 800 feet. At
the present time the work is being done
upon a deposit 100 feet wide, consisting
of forty feet Of high grade ore and sixty
feet Of shipping ore.
