ERRORS. BUT NO SHORTAGE
Former Knox Sheriff Says Mistakes
May Exist in Accounts.

Galesburg. ILL.,. Dec. 14.-Sheriff Mat
thews appeared before the board of SUI
pervisors yesterday to explain regard
ing the alleged shortage of $4,000 in
his accounts prior to last October. He
said he was not a bookkeeper, that mis-
takes might have been made, but that
he was not yet sure there was a short
age. He claimed his receipts had been
destroyed. The board deferred action
pending further investigation.
Former County Treasurer Ames Bar
low also made an explanation showing
he had made full settlement with the
county for the $1,000 alleged delin-
quency. He also showed in detail that
he was entitled to the $500 in fees
which the experts thought belonged to
the county. Barlow's statement was
generally satisfactory.

been less numerous, but they seem to
have done all the damage they could.
Less than two hundred thousand
seal are now alleged to exist out of a
herd which once numbered several
millions. and the recommendation is
made that next season an enlarged
fleet of revenue cutters shall be sent
out as guards with wider authority
vested in their officers for dealing with
seal pirates caught in the territorial
waters of the United States.
Unless the seals are to be extermin-
ated this policy seems to be the only
one to follow. 1t would be nothing
less than confession of incompetency
and weakness for this country TO per-
nit the continued destruction in viola
ton of its own laws, and of interna-
tional compacts, of what was once a
valuable asset in that national wealth.

For four months or so l suffered the

suffered excruciating pains. l did not
know what it was, and resorted to

A Norwalk, Conn, telegram in the
New York World relates how Harry
Reed, bartender of that city recently
received : dispatch saying his wealthy
aunt. Mrs. Margaret Cunningham of
Wallingford, Conn. had died, leaving
him 100000. So elated was the man
with his sudden fortune. that he made
out a schedule 10 drink 20 cocktails a
day, and to spend the money in two
years. But, alas. for his 100000
drunk. he was awakened with a bump
in few days subsequent to his first dis
patch by the receipt of the following
telegram from his aunt: I'm still
alive Harry; better go to work for a
while" And Harry abandoned his
schedule, and concluded not to commit
suicide. by the two year cocktail route
for the present.
If the aunt has any affection for her
nephew. she will make a will providing
that her fool nephew shall only receive
the income of her money, and that
only providing that he abandons the
cocktail habit and keeps sober.
