FOR TAKING A BRIDE.
Bench Warrant Issued for Former

Bench Warrant Issued for Former
Postal Official.
New York. July 1S.-A bench war.
rant has been issued by Judge Thomas
in the United States circuit court at
Brooklyn for the arrest Of George w.
Beavers, formerly chief OF the salary
and allowance division of the post
office department, on an indictment
found by the federal grand jury, which
charges him with accepting a bride of
$40.
1t is understood that payments to
Beavers were traced back to the pur-
chase by the government of the
Brand-Dent Cash Registering Machine
company. The p~ostofice inspectors
found that Beavers had a large account
In the Nassau Trust company, Brook
lyn, and are said to have discovered
that checks deposited there had been
given by ex-Congressman briggs. The
warrant has not yet been served and 1t
was rumored that Mr.. Beavers could
not be found. 1t was stated that he
would have until Monday to present
himself and that an arrangement had
been made with his attorney to enter
a plea for him at that time.

Advertise Estrays and Save Trouble,

Fred Smith, THEODORE Roberts, Arthur
Roberts, farmers of the county, were
arraigned in Justice Pearson's court this
morning charged with taking up estray
horses and failing to advertise same in
the newspaper as provided BY law. The
complaint in the case was made by Nels
Nichols, who alleges that the defendants
not only took up the stock and failed to
advertise the same but also worked the
animals.
The defendants gave bonds in the
sum of 5000 for their appearance in cour,
at the preliminary hearing to be held
Aug. 8, and were released.
The offence is a serious one in which
the district court has jurisdiction. Mr..
Nichols looked all over the county for
his horses and could NOT locate them for
several weeks. He is justly indignan,
over the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Alert.

Two M%anchurian Ports Will Be Open
ed as Outcome of Negotiations.
Washington, July 1.-THE Manchu-
rian question has been settled salts
factorily to this government. Assur-
ances have been received from the
Chinese government that it will, in
the near future, open as treaty ports
several ports now closed to the worlds
trade. The Russian government has
conveyed formal assurance to the
United States government that it will
not in any way oppose such opening.
While the ports to be opened r
not yet specified it is gathered from
the communications received that they
are Moukden, the principal inland
port Of Manchuria, and Tatungkao, at
the mouth of the Yalu river. The
state department is highly gratifed at
this outcome, feeling that it has Sc
cured not only more American com.
merce, but for the commerce Of the
world at large a YER substantial gain.
