MONEY THROWN AWAY.
Investigation Of Waste of Supplies
Foolish Purchases Were Made.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-A con-

eminent funds for the purchase of

Years to come, and it is extremely
doubtful if they ever can be utilized,

Supplies worth two or three million
dollars have been sent to the isthmus,
and so rapidly, that there is a con-
gestion at Colon, and freight is piled
on the docks there countain high.
The original commission and the
PRESENT one have expended the money
OF the government for supplies with
fecllessness and extravaganza that
are positively startling.

SECRET SOCIETY FOR JEWS.
Letters Received Threatening Jews
With Eviction or Death.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Philip Cow
en-, publisher Of the Union Hebrew,
has received a letter threatening the
Hebrew race with eviction from the
United States, peaceably if possible,
by force if necessary. Similar letters
have been received by prominent men
Of that race.
Considered in connection with the
sending of boxes of explosives to
Jacob H. Schiiff and Guggenheim
brothers, the police are led to regard
the letters in a serious light.
There is in existence, as you will
better realize within the next year,
Mr.. Governs letter ran, "a powerful
organization which will rid American
soil of Hebrews. No Hebrew is to be
killed without warning. Each will
first have a chance to rid the country
of his presence. Within sixty days
you will hear Of the sudden death of
at least one influential Hebrew in this
city and another in Chicago. They

RUSSIANS ARE ELATED.
Much Pleased Over Liberal Terms OF
Peace.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 31.-One
of the highest officials in Russia to-
day said:
"The talk about peace being de-
plored in influential Russian circles is
nonsense. Peace has come at the
most opportune time, when we are
nearing the end of our resources and.

of all Russians. But for him the war
would have continued and anarchy
would have broken out this winter

A sensation was created here today
by an article in Novoe Vremya writ

that Russia has accepted peace terms
only as a temporary measure. 1t says
she will take a rest and, then travel

President Roosevelt, while Prince

TRIES TO WRECK BANK,
Treadway, Once Brilliant Lawyer, Al
most Starts Run on Institution.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Aug. 31-With
his gray locks trembling in a chill east
wind, C. c. Treadway, who began
practice of law here in 1856, and is
the dean of the Sioux City bar, stood
on a principal street corner today and
scattered posters in which he de-
clared the s3,00O,00O Security National
bank, the largest bank in the city,
could not pay cents on the dollar.
In a detailed statement above his
own name he called upon every de-
positor to withdraw his money. The
bank was threatened with a run at
noon.
w. P. Manley, president of the bank
swore out a warrant for Treadway's
arrest for criminal libel. The aged
attorney was arrested with a bundle
of circulars in his hand. To the
court he thundered in sarcasm:
Well am I to be hanged?"
Manley says this remarkable per-
fOrmance by Treadway may be the Sc
Quel of testimony given by himself re-

that Treadway's reputation was not

That the little pests are hungry is

they come in contact. Bushels of

Mrs. Taggart again denied that
she smoked cigarettes. Fortescue
testified that he saw her smoking. but
fastened to add that it was the GUS

LOSES GOLDEN HAIR.
Iowa Girl Is Victim Of SinguIa,
Attack.

MASON CITY, Iowa, Aug. 31.-A
daring act was committed last even
ing at the Nels Jensen home in Grant
township. Ruby Yohon:, 13-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Smith Yo-
kom, neighbors, who was spending
the night at the Jensen farm, was de-
prived of her fine golden crown of
hair.
About midnight someone entered
the bedroom of the little sleeper by
prying off the screen, and is supposed
to have chloroformed her and then
proceeded to use the shears or knife,
the latter more likely from the ma
ture of the work. For some reason
the marauders became alarmed and
retreated. as the hair was left on her
pillow.
The family was not aware of what
had happened till the next morning
when Ruby presented sorrowful ap-
pearance. Her eyes were swollen and
heavy, and she suffered a severe
headache and, besides, her glory OF
hair was gone. A small confusion
found over her eye leads some to be-
lieve that she might have Deen
stunned by a blow.
A physician gave it as his opinion
that chloroform was used, although
she might have been struck. No clue
to the perpetrators Of the act Is OBJ
tainable
