1920 Is

I'VE find that payment on two vouch-
ers in the cattle commission account
aggregating S4l2.9 though approved
by the governor as required by law,
were made on vouchers not sworn to
as explicitly required by act No. 123 OF
the acts of 1895.
''This examination was made Sep
TENDER 26 and 81 1904, at the office of
the auditor of accounts, Hon Horace
F. Graham who gave us access to the
vouchers, books, papers, etc., at the
request of Mr. Bell and rendered up
all other possible service on request.
''The Democratic supplemental re-
port expresses regret that the Bill was
wrongly accused but reiterates that it
was a reasonable charge based on the
evidence furnished by the auditors re-
port and adds:
''The most serious fact developed
which our associates decline to join
US in reporting, on the ground that it
is beyond the proper scope of the in
quiry, is that of the s2269.Sl Of ex-
penses and disbursements, only
Sl46.F is covered by vouchers be-
yond Mr. Bells own statement. all
but two under oath. While we find
nothing that justifies any charge, or
intimation even, that the accounts
rendered are not honest, they are 'ac.
counts only, not vouchers for ac-
counts, and it is way OF doing pub
lie business that cannot be too severely
condemned.
The Repu blican reioinder says in
closing:
every one of the five men who
signed the report has said that the
charge against Mr. Bell is proved TO |
be wrong. We leave it there, but will
now add this much, that he is not en-
tirely entitled to an absolute and un-
equivocal exOneratiOn as regards that
charge, but also entitled to credit
from the fact that his vouchers prove !
a certain kind of rugged, old-fashion-
ed economy and care in the discharge
of his public duties, which entities
him to approval"

Enterprising Holland Reporter.

An amusing story comes from Hol-
land OF Queen Wilhelmina. who was
visiting the peoples eating houses in
Amsterdam shortly before her Illness.
court lady conducted the Queen
through all the rooms and also into
the kitchen. where her majesty tasted
the food, which she found excellent,
much TO the delight of the old cook.
And where db YOU keep your provis-
ions?' asked the young Queen. Here,
your majesty" said the lady, throw
ing open the door of a huge cupboard.
Then the three women screamed, for
inside the cupboard stood a man. The
cook. on being accused of hiding low
er, angrily declared she had never
seen him before, and he was forced to
confess that he was the reporter of an
Amsterdam paper who had crept in
there in order to give a full account OF
the queens visit. Her majesty, after
hearty laugh, shook hands with the
reporter on leaving, and told him to
send her copy of the paper.-Lon-

OPPOSE PARKER
BRYAN DEMOCRATIC LEADERS.
Statement Made by National
Treasurer of Peoples Party.

St Louis, July 12.-After three con
ferences held Saturday night by mem
bers of the executive committee OF the
Peoples party with prominent Bryan
Democrats who are dissatisfied. not so
much with the platform as with the
presidential nomination by the Demo
cratic national convention il has been
decided to call national conference
by Bryan Democratic leaders within
the next thirty days, to decide on some
line of action during the coming cam
paign.
This statement is given to the As.
sociated Press on the authority OF
George F. Washburn of Boston, nation
al treasurer of the Peoples party, who.
with several members of the national
executive committee of that party. has
been in st. Louis attending the Demo
cratic national convention.
Mr.. Washburn, when asked to di-
vulge the names of some of his asso-
ciates in the conference, declined to
make them known. The extent of the
movement and the names of those en-
gagged in 1t, he said, would be made
public when the call for the national
conference was issued, and their
prominence, he added, would be a sur
prise.
A number of those present in the
conference, Mr. Washburn said, were
Missourians, while others were from
Parker's own state.
Commenting on Judge Parker's nomi-
nation, Mr.. Washburn said:
Next to Cleveland the Populists
most desired the nomination of Par
ker. His nomination emphasizes the
parting of the way of the allied forces.
and will help immensely to restore the
Populist party to its former strength
and effectiveness.

His Remarkable Career.

Here are some amusing statistics
which are given by veteran German
actor al the close Cf pamphlet con
tanning an account OF his career.
Il have played in 9S cities" he
says. "on 1858 evenings in 81 plays
and in 455 different roles. On the
stage ! have been married I.721 times
and ! have died l,120 times. I have
been stabbed to death 6l times, killed
by gun or pistol 81 times, drowned
% times poisoned 166 times, dubbed
TO death Sc times, ruptured a blood
vessel 1872 times. beheaded 81 times

times. Finally | have committed sui

Delicate Measurements.

Human sense organs lack the re.
fined delicacy OF the instruments of
science. DR.. Carl Snyder points out
that countless millions of stars are dis
covered by the Photographic plate and
the telescope in place of the 5000 visi-
ble to the eye, and that an object
1-10,0 COO of an inch in diameter is com
paratively large in a powerful micro
scope, although one of 1900 of an inch
Is scarcely visible to the unaided eye.
The tread of fly which requires a
delicate ear TO detect, is magnified by
the microphone to the tramp of cav
airy. The change in temperature of
less than 1-5 of a degree is not per-
ceived by the most sensitive skin. but
the bolometer registers on a scale an
increase or decrease of a millionrh of
a degree and actually notes the rise in
the temperature of room when a
match is lighted a mile away.

fetal quarters yesterday. The former
company will absorb the latter. the de-
tails to be carried out in the fall. The

The United Lead company has not dis
tributed any stock. although its capi-
tai is 100000. with bond issue of
$4,000 900
The matter was settled at confer
ence between Daniel Guggenheim. rep

JUDGE PARKER EXPLAINS.
Thought the Country Knew all About
His Views

Esopus, n. Y, July 12.-An explana-
tory statement of the long silence OF
Judge Parker was given by close per-
sonal friend of the judge this afternoon
to the Associated Press.
AS judge, said the authority, Judge
Parker had kept silent on political
questions. He believed it was not
compatible with the dignity of judge
on the bench to discuss such ques-
tions.
When he was prominently mention
ed as a candidate for the presidency
Judge Parker thought the people Of
the country knew his full views. He
realized that the Democratic party
would be composed of two elements
when the national convention assem-.
bled-radicals and conservatives. He
knew that he was regarded as the
candidate of the conservatives. and
became convinced that it was not
necessary for him to make any state
ment of his views.
Judge Parker had voted for Mr.
Bryan in 1896 and 1900, and he had
done so not because of, but in spite
of the silver plank He did not think
that any one had any doubt as to
WHERE he SlbOl, anu Hdu uOpeu W
maintain his silence through the cam
paign preliminary to the convention.
Judge Parker had no intimation of
the subject matter of the platform un-
til after he had been notified by the
Associated Press of his nomination,
said the authority. When he had gone
for his horseback ride he realized that
if he allowed the convention to adjourn
without knowing his financial views,
the people would regard as true Mr..
Bryan's statement that the judge was
tricking the convention and the party.
He was not willing to profit by trick
cry. 1t was then, said the informant,
that Judge Parker decided to send a
telegram to the convention. He re-
turned from his ride and, without con-
sulting any one. wrote the telegram to
Mr. Sheehan, which was filed at ESQ
pus at Ii: 80 a. m. Saturday.
