DAILY MAIL AT LAST.

Mr.. c. V. Hansen brings the infor-
nation that Custer county will again
have daily mail, and that it will go
into operation in a few days. The
railroad to Mackay will put on daily
train-except Sundays-and the county
will have its mail service increased
from three to six times week. The
stages will arrive and depart from
Challis as at present, but will change
to summer time the 1st of next month.
This is good news, for our poor mail
service of three times a week has been
great detriment to the people of
Custer county, and has retarded, in a
way, the county's progress. Ever
since the branch railroad was built to
Mackay our people have had to con-
tent themselves with an inadequate
mail service, and since that time the
MESSENGER has been working for a
daily mail, and at last it appears that
our work has not been in vain.

Banker Reynolds Tells How Mira
Chadwick "Queered" Him.
Grand Jury at Cleveland Returns
Indictments Charging Forgery
and Uttering Forged Paper
Oberlin Bankers Testify.

Cleveland, O., Dec. 13.-Trouble for
Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick increased at
rapid rate yesterday. She was twice
indicted by the grand jury Of Cuyahoga
county and her old-time friend, Iri
Reynolds, whose confidence she had
betrayed, took the stand in court and
made evident his intention to shield
and protect her no longer.
Mr.. Reynolds. in detailing his trans
actions with Mrs. Chadwick, said:
''In all my transactions with Mrs.
Chadwick I believed from what she
told me that Andrew Carnegie was
backing her and all her indebtedness
would be paid" He then added: "And
I have not had anything yet to make
me doubt It."
The formal indictments voted against
Mrs. Chadwick are based, one upon the
Carnegie note for $250,000, which was
made payable at the Office Of Andrew
Carnegie in New York city, and the
other upon the Carnegie note for $780,
600 which was payable at the National
Bank of Commerce in New York. I'm
der each indictment are two counts,
one charging forgery, the other utter
ing OF forged paper.
When the jury met the first witness
to give testimony was Receiver Robert
Lyon, of the Citizens national bank Of
oberlin. He, with Cashier A. B. Speer,
Of that bank. and T. X. Whitney, son
of one OF the stockholders in the bank,
had been summoned from oberlin.
Mr.. Whitney presented to the jury the
$4,000 note with the alleged sigma
ture Of Andrew Carnegie. There has
been an absence Of certainty as to the
existence of such a note. With the
possible exception Of Mrs. Chadwick,
Spear and Beckwith having had q
glimpse of 1t. II has never been seen,
not even by Mr.. Whitney himself, un-
til 1t was produced before the grand
fury. The note had been placed In
an envelope. which in turn was in a
second envelope and the two into a
third envelope and sealed. Some dis
pute between Beckwith and Spear-as
10 the ownership of the note is UNI
derstood to have arisen soon after Mrs.,
Chadwick had presented 1t to the
bank officials as security for money and
It was decided to put it into Whitney's
possession as trustee. The latter did
non, know at the time that 1t was not
genuine. The other note for $250.0O
which figured in the testimony, was
made payable at Mr.. Carnegie's Office
in New York city. The maximum
penalty for the offense charged In the
indictment is 20 years upon conviction
Carnegie Won't Go to Cleveland.
New York, Dec. 13.-It is said at
the residence of Andrew Carnegie that
he would be unable to go to Cleveland
to testify in the Chadwick case, owing
to illness. Mr.. Carnegie is indisposed
with an attack of lumbago and his
physician is of the opinion that 1t
would be inadvisable for him to take
the trip.

st. Louis, Dec. 13.-Rev. DR.. James
c. Morris, president of Central col
lege, Fayette. NO., one Of the largest
educational institutions Of southern
Methodism, in a paper read before
the st. Louis Ministers association
declared against state institutions Of
higher education. He said In part:
"The state has no right to make pro-
found scholars. Its gratuitious system
of schooling must cease at the doors
of higher education and when the end,
namely the prevention Of illiteracy
and the demands of good citizenship
has been accomplished, the future de-
velopment of the mental faculties Of
the child is no concern of the state.
but rightly belongs to the church."
