MISSING VAUGHAN
CAN'T Use MAILS
Postmaster General Issues Fraud
Order Against Former Get
Rich-Quick Concern.
From Tho Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,

From Tho journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, April 27.-Postmaster
General Cortelyou today issued a fraud
order, barring from use of the mails
Edward A. Vaughan, Guaranty building,
Minneapolis. Vaughan sent letters to
various persons soliciting deposits OF
800 and upwards to be invested in the
wheat market, claiming to have special
inside information, which could not be
given out. He promised profits Of from
100 to 500 per cent. Assistant Attor-
ney General Goodwin, in recommending
the issuance of the fraud order, says:
The report of the inspector shows
that, the literature is based largely
upon fabrications.
The Inspector reported also that
Vaughan was was formerly ianitor in
the Cincinnati postoffice, later was
transferred to Washington, was re-
moved from the service for cause, and
as late as last summer was seen in
Cincinnati without employment or
money. There are now undelivered in
the Minneapolis postoffice, 800 letters
addressed to Vaughan, many no doubt,
containing money. The inspector says,
in closing: IL.
We discovered that there were prob
ably three other men connected with
Vaughan, namely John Hogan and
Henry A. Raymond and J. L. Jayne,
who resided at the Berkeley hotel. All
the parties have left the city.

In a communication to Lieutenant
letters patent providing for the changes,
Colonial Secretary Lyttleton says the
time is not yet ripe to grant full self

Government and this in the Transvaal
will become more practicable when the
two races have acted longer together
under equal rights of citizenship and
when bitter memories have become soft
ened by time.
Any bill subjecting the colored popu-
1ation to special disability or restric'
ton must have the sanction OF the
home government before it becomes
operative.
j. Secretary Lyttleton explains that
similar constitutional changes cannot be
extended to the Orange river colony
immediately.

Counsel's Finale. r ,.
The statement of DR.. Koch that he
had returned to his office to turn out
his light. which he had forgotten, Gen
eral Childs said, would be proved an
entire fabrication by the testimony Of
the woman who, from her back porch,
on his light when he returned to the
| office, and then take the hammer from
the wall and place it in his pocket. In
closing General Childs said: ....-
EThere is but one man on earth of
whom it can be said: HE was near
those premises when the murder was
done; he had a mortal enmity toward
Dr. Gebhardt; he had the hammer; he
| had the handkerchief. he had the pen
ellis; he had the marks, those tell-tale
marks, upon his hand, received by going
thru the window.
Jurors Mustn' It Discuss Case. a.
When General Childs had finished
Judge Cray spoke at some length to
the jurors, admonishing them to refrain
| from talking Of the case among them
selves until it, was completed and the
instructions of the court given, and to
refrain from reading any newspapers
or hearing or reading in any way any
| comment upon the case.
He said he knew the sort of impris-
onment which they would have to suffer
| would not be the most pleasant, but
said that theirs was duty which was
| due the state and the people. He said

to do everything they could to make

Winnipeg, Man. Aug. I2-.The Doukobors are now on a pilgrimage toward Yorkton. and having first burned their clothes they marched naked until rounded up by the mounted police. They surrendered easily and explained that they had been experiencing a trial of their faith. Being directed by the Di- vine Spirit to take nothing with them to their new Ian d of Promise, they had construed the direction to mean tha, they were to return ab- solu,ely to a state of nature, and to eschew clothing. which had come into use with the advent of sin and which would disappear with the disappearance of sin.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST B, 1905.
FOR 4 CONVENTION.

All over Alaska, as near as can be judged from what the papers say, there is strong sentiment in favor of self government for the territory-so much so. indeed, that if the matter could be left to the people proposition for full lfledged territorial government would un doubtedly be carried by a large majority. Such would scarcely have been the case a year ago, and the reason for the change i'll senti ment is plain. A commendable spirit of opposition to the Platt idea is finding expression-that is all.
 Under the circumstances, a prac- tical move on the peoples part in the direction of self government is hard to inaugurate; but something feasible was suggested recently by the Council City Improvement Club, and today it is announced that Nome is urging action along the same line. It is an suspicious start-originating in a small place where no grea, interests have self ish ends to serve, and spreading to such rich centers as Fairbanks and Nome and smoothing the way for a union of effort and an expression of faith. By all means let the convention be held, and let it send out declaration of principles that will mark turning point in Alas kan history.

Merchants Agree to Adopt the Company Price In
 Future.

Up to the present time all the business concerns of the camp ex- cept the big companies have taken golddust at SIS and SI6 per ounce all dust from this side of the di- vide rating at the first figure and that from the other side at the last. More than a year ago the compa- nies announced that they would only allow $I5.5o for dust from the other side and have since adhered strictly to that price. Other busi- ness men have asserted all the while that SI5.5o was as much as the SI6 dust is worth, but they have yielded to the popular demand and have continued to accept it at the old price.
 Now, however, merchants assert that miners have grown careless in cleaning their dust, and the losses on it are greater than heretofore, and that it is unreasonable to allow SIG for dust the value of which is well known not to exceed $I5.5o. Therefore the merchants have all agreed to receive and disburse the dust from the Glen side hereafter at SI5.5o. The SIS dust will re- main at the old figure. The new rate is to go into effect Sept. I.
 Postmaster Fleischman has made it a rule to accept golddust for money orders at SIS and SIS. 50 respectively with the understanding that he will make good any amounts realized on the dust over the price at which 1t is accepted, and the dis penser of the dust will make up any loss which may be sustained in the transaction, thereby enabling the buyer of the order to obtain the exact value of his dust as determined by assay. In the last mail he received four assay returns from consignments of this nature, as follows:
 One of 2o.oS ounces of SIS dust, which netttd SI7 .666.
 One of 1907 ounces of SIS dust, which netted SIS.t96.
 One of 99.99 ounces of $Is.So dust. which uetted SIS.r26.
 Que of 4643 ounces of sIS.5o dust, which uetted sIS 90.
 The figures speak for themselves. The postmaster eorroboratss the statement that returns from both classes of dust have grown less s.......t. f.. xt.s..s Gxws.xawfxf
