THE MISSING VOUCHERS"

Upon the adjournment of the Terri
torial Legislature for the session of
1903, the Secretary of the Territory was
unable to fully comply with the pro-
vision of the Organic Act, which makes
it his duty to record and preserve all
of the laws and proceedings of the
Legislature and transmit within thirty
days copies of the same to the Secre-
tary of the Interior of the United
States, owing to the fact that THERE
WE'RE NEVER DEPOSITED IN HIS
OFFICE the vouchers of the House of
Representatives, showing an eXpendi-
ture by that body of a sum of over
$50, 100000 during the regular and spe-
cial sessions. After elaboration, this
Grand Jury decided to investigate this
matter and subpoenas were therefore
issued to every member of the House
of Representatives and to the Clerk of
the House, to appear before it. Clerk
Solomon Meheula produced vouchers
against which warrants had been
drawn on the treasury amounting to
over 100000. Upon checking these
vouchers, it was found that twenty
nine warrants had been drawn,
amounting to S1099.95, which had no
corresponding vouchers. SEVEN OF
THESE WARRANTS WE'RE IN FA-
yOR OF CLERK MEHEULA. A list
of these vouchers, showing the date
of drawing, number, amount, and pur-
pose for which drawn, has been pre-
pared and is presented herewith as a
part of this report. The list is arrang-
ed so as to show in columns the name
Of the person to whom the warrants
were made payable and the aggregate

A GOOD ACCIDENT.
She Sleeps at Last.

Between the brain and the stom-
ach there is the closest nerve con-
nection. Any arrangement OF the
stomach prevents sleep; brain de-
preston follows, and if not correct
ed leads to insanity. Crazed from
stomach and bowel troubles, Bos-
ton lady was restored to health by
using Abbey's Salt of Fruits. She
says:
For about four years l could not
sleep without first taking drugs.
The effect of these narcotics and my
unnatural sleep made me irritable
and cross. My stomach was in a
most awful condition and at times l
was as crazy as a loon. 1t was

and Paul on Mount st. Alban; and 1t re-

Christianity and religious sentiment Of the
American people.
The history Of the National Cathedral is
one of religious romance 1t had its incep-
ton in the earnest prayers of colonial
churchman, Joseph Nourse. first registrar
of the treasury and friend of Washington,
who of ardent temperament. especially in
religious matters. daily repaired to the
grove on his estate in Tenleytown and
prayed that some day, now only dimly seen
through the mists of the future, a church
might be raised in that leafy grove, quiet
with the silence of the wood life, as a wit
ness for Christ in the capital of the coun-
try.

his granddaughter. Miss Phoebe Nourse,
who at her leath left forty gold dollars in
a hairpin box. Inscribed for "A Free Church
on Alban HILL" the little Church of st. AL
ban. which was the seed of the National
Cathedral was erected in the same grove
where Joseph Nourse had so often prayed.
This church was consecrated by Bishop
Nottingham of Maryland the first free
Episcopal church In the present diocese of
Washington.
The cathedral project began about the
time the division Of the Maryland diocese
was contemplated. 1t grew apace, and
when Miss Mary Elizabeth Mann offered a
property valued at $40 600 as an endowment
for a cathedral foundation 1t assumed shape
and form. Other requests were promised,

Bessie Armstrong Arrested at Danville

The sheriff today received a letter from
Gov. Yates in part as follows:
'Sir-The prevalence Of lynch law and
mob rule in various parts of the United
States has for some time been alarming,
but not until recently has 1t made its APP
pearance in the state Of Illinois. Within
the past six months in the counties of AL
exander. st. Clair and Vermilion there has
been an outburst Of lawlessness OF this
character in its worst form.
There Is only one thing to be done In
this connection by officers of the law. Such
officers have been entrusted with the con-
fidence, safety, property and lives OF their
fellow citizens and they have taken solemn
oath to enforce and sustain the Constitu-
ton and laws of their country and state.
The obligation resting upon them is lmpera-
tive. Mob rule is anarchy. The prevalence
of lynch law will result in no peace, no
safety and no liberty.
Under all these circumstances 1t becomes
nv duty to do all within my power to pre-
vent a repetition of the lynchings which
have occurred in this state, and to punish
relentlessly those that have occurred 10
this end l now request you to FORWARD at
once a brief statement of all the facts In
regard to the recent lynching in your coun-
ty, together with any recommendations
which you may have to make.
You will please further state In what
way or the officers of the state can be Of
assistance in bringing about the prompt
prosecution and punishment of the guilty
parties.
Il deem it my duty to make in addltfon
to the above the statement that in behalf
of the people of the state of Illinois,

ness with which you performed your duty
In defending the prisoner in your CUSTODY
from a mob which had lynched one man
and was seeking to lynch your prisoners
