CHECK UP STATE.
Governor Bailey Gets an Assis-
tant State Accountant.
Will Work Under Direction of
Il. Z. Moxey.

The checking up of the states ac-
counts has proved such a voluminous
task that Governor Bailey has secured
the services of another accountant, I'M
der the direction of E. P. Moxey, the
Philadelphia man who is considered
perhaps the best accountant in the
country. The second man will be here
Monday and will aid c. NJ. RoWett, the
state accountant, in his work.
There had been no state accountant
for five years until Governor Bailey
appointed Mr.. Rowett, and previous tc
very strenuously. The school land rec
ordS have never been checked up, in
fact. The work seemed SO great that
IL seemed advisable to secure another
accountant to aid Mr.. Rowett
MIR. Moxey is at present doing some
work in Kansas City. Governor Bailey
went down there last evening with the
intention of securing MoXey's services
II possible, but Mr.. Moxey said he could
not come himself but ne would send a
man who would work under his direc-
ton and whose work he would guaran-
tee as his own.
Moxey is the man whom the United
States government employs on it's diff
1cult jobs. When he signs a report it
is recognized the country over as being
absolutely correct. He is the man whom
w. A. White wanted to employ in the
first place. Mr.. White said if he were
appointed state accountant he would
simply turn the job over to Moxey.
There is such a demand for Moxey's
services that he has organized what is
known as the MoXey Expert Account
ants association, made up for a num-
Der of the most reliable accountants in
the country. Mr.. Moxey supervises the
work OF the association, and it is one
OF these accountants whom he will send
here.
1T seems there is a tremendous
amount of work to be done in checking
up these accounts, said Governor Bailey
to me that the job should be done thor
oughly. Mr.. Rowett tells me that two
men can work about four times as fast
as one because they can work together
and save much time. That is why 1 am
engaging another accountant help Mr..
Rowett. and wanted to get a good one
whose work can be depended upon.
get through we will know that the ac-
counts of the state are correct. The
new man will be paid out of my con-
tingent fund
Some of Governor Bailey's enemies
who seem afraid that something
crooked will be uncovered in some of
the state departments, recently attempt
nor for checking up the state treas
urer and the school fund commission
without touching the bank commission
er'S department and the state board of
charities" AS matter of fact the bank
commissioner department was the
first department in the state house that
Mr.. Rowett checked up, and it was so
published at the time. Mr. RoWett also
checked up three of the institutions I'M
der the state board of charities and the
reformatory before he went
into the state departments at all.

POLICE COURT NOTES.

Harve Wheeler, jointist, springs up
perennially and between gaps. Harve
believes in persistency and carries out
his belief to a degree of faithfulness
worthy of a higher profession than
joint keeping. The society of Ethical
Culture should get hold of Harve and
convert him. He would be a valuable
aid with his persistence. Harve got
tempered with again by the police last
night at 1880. Sherman Burns and
Tom Jannett who are in the business
with Harve, were in charge when the
raid was made. They fed the scene
of their labors, however, when the
blue coats sailed into sight. A. keg of
SchlitZ was captured.
Ed Flynn found he could gallop
about on the Schlitz domain and be-
come immune from arrest through the
fact that he served on the battleship
Texas" The discovery was faulty in
this one particular, however, in that
it was good for one offense but was
not the sesame for a repetition. Flynn
who is a machiniSt4 was picked for the
second time yesterday and given So
Flynn owns a Jolly book. He went
up to the police judge after the fine
had been imposed and struck him for
some work in the mechanical line.
Judge Hamilton waved him off. Then
Flynn endeayored to have the Judge
use his influence in securing work for
him from the city. He got the latter,
but it was on the rock pile.

Santa Fe Train ColIides With Street
Car in Kansas City.

Kansas City, Mo-. Aug. 6.-Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe passenger train
from Chicago. crashed into a trolley
car at Fifteenth street, at the Belt line
crossing, in the eastern end of the city
today. One person was killed and ten
injured, one seriously. The accident
vas caused by the bars being up. Harry
Black the fiagman who was hurt says
that he was sick and unable to orlng
the bars into position. There were II
persons on the car.
The engine struck it square in the
center and pushed it so feet off the road
bed, turning the car over and partially
denolishing it. J. l. Morris, of Pleas
ant Hill, Mo-, who was standing beside
the track, was caught in the debris and
so badly hurt that he died IN ~ min
utes Mrs. Minnie Stanberry OF Kan
sas City, was perhaps the most seri-
ousIy hurt. She suffered serious injury
to her back and probably was hurt in
ternaIly. She may recover
The injuries sustained by the others
consisted in cuts and bruises.

BANK RUN CONTINUES.
Police Are on Hand to Prevent
Disorder.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-When the doors
of the Drover's Trust & Savings bank
opened today about $50 persons were
in line to withdraw deposits continu-
ing the run begun on the bank yester-
day. Vice President Tilden said:
1--WE are prepared for every emer-
gency This demand so little bothers
us, merely to show our financial
strength, I will say that we expect to
make two large loans today"
Police were again on hand to prevent
disorder. The bank was crowded and
many persons formed in line on the
sidewalk outside waiting to withdraw
funds.
Discovery was made today that anon
ymous letters constituted the principal
medium used to bring about the run.
These were written on the stationery OF
the Hotel Windemere and in tone sug-
gests strongly that the run was
brought about as an attack upon Ed
ward Tilden brother of the vice pres
ident of the bank. Edward Tilden is at
the head of the Libbey, Mcneil & Lib
hey Packing company. A recent news
paper interview in which he asSailed
the child labor law is said to have fur
nished the opportunity to attack him
through the bank. AS soon as it was
evident at the bank that the run of
yesterday would be duplicated today
extra cash in chests was brought to
the bank in cabs guarded by policemen
armed with rifles.
This afternoon the run on the bank
had almost ceased, hardly a dozen per-
sons being at the paying teller's win
dow.

SHOT THROUGH HER SPINE.
Young Woman Wounded in 1901 Is
on Road to Recovery.

Philadelphia, Aug. Clara Mich
olas, a young waitress, whose spinal
cord was pierced by bullet fired by
a Jealous sweetheart as she was leav-
ing her place of employment in Janu-
airy, 1901, and who it was believed
would be a helpless cripple as the re-
suit of her injury, has shown such
wonderful i'm Drovement recently that
it is thought she will be in a short
time recovered completely.
After her injury, Miss Mich olas was
taken to the hospital, where it was
found that her spinal cord had been
pierced by the bullet. She remained
unconscious for nearly a week and
the attending physicians expected her
to die.
An operation was decided upon and
the spinal cord was severed, the shat
tered bones were removed and the
cord was sewed together with gold
threads.
For nearly two years Miss Nicholas
lay helpless on a cot in the hospital,
paralyzed from the waist down and
unable to move, but recently she has
recovered feeling in her lower limbs
and is now able to stand alone and
walk about the house with aid of a
device made expressly for her.

in point is that of Editor Granger,
who was induced to move 10 Oneida
in Nemaha county and given the post
office. He has been treated as an out
cast bv the people of that community
ever since his advent there and they
have resented the dirty deal by 60
ing to the polls and voting solidly
against the dog meat congressman n;

that has created such supreme con-
tempt for Curtis all over the First dis

neither is he charged by Curtis in MS
recent statement of ever having asked
for one. He is opposed to the elecuon
of Curtis because he believes, hrst
that Curtis is not Mt man 1or any

Bert Dunn, Topeka's new second
baseman, arrived this morning from
Weeping Water, Neb., where he
stopped over on his way from Mime

been sick for some time. It was for
that reason that Dunn did not appear
in the Celestial lineup on Thursday.
He is scheduled to grace the second
sack this afternoon. Olson was there

White, who was ordered to the bench
for a try-out on the pitching staff. In
the event that he proves too easy a
mark for batsmen, he will be released
The team will play with the follow
ing lineup for the next two weeks
steadily: Schrant, catcher; Abbott,
first base; Dunn, second base; Olson,
shortstop; Friel. third base; Hurlburt
