THE MOST GIGANTIC SWINDLE.

The State paid Congressman Cas-
sells construction company for
100, 900 square feet of metal filing
cases at $3.50 a foot which we're
never delivered. On this over-pay-
ment Architect Huston got $50
600 for designing the cases though
he didn't design them at all. Thus
on a single item of the capitol fur
nishings, the loot amounted to
ST 500, 900. Besides this the mate
rials used were not up to the stand
ard required by the specifications.
The able lawyers who are conduct
ing the investigation express the
opinion that this money can be re-
covered by legal process. Probably
that is true.
1t is now admitted that the build
ing of the capitol was the most gil
gantic swindle Of all time. The
looting which attended the con-
struction of the capitol at Albany,
the erection of the city hall of Phil
adelphia and the operations of
Tweed in New York city were
child's play when compared with
this. They covered a longer period
of time but produced for the graft
ers less than half the amount of
loot. That shows that the Penn.
sylvania machine is more avaric-
ious as we'll as bolder and rore
skillful robbers. 1t indicates that
crime is progressive and that it has
reached a climax in the operations
in question.
There should be no time lost in
proceeding for the recovery of this
money. 1t is said that some of the
looters are already disposing OF their
property and the chances are that
unless there is a cause for criminal
action there will be no voluntary
payments. Men who are guilty of
such crimes are not likely to give
up what they have acquired unless
compelled to and the shadow of the
penitentiary is the most potent
compelling force. For that reason
preparations for criminal prosecu-
tions should be made simultaneous
ly with those for civil suits. No
opportunity for escape should be
allowed. - Wahhman.

WILL ADJOURN MAY 18th.
Legislature Expects to Finish lis Work b
That Date.

Il can see no reason why the
Legislature should not be able to
adjourn on May I6 with all impoi-
tant measures acted upon. The
House certainly will do its share of
the work" Speaker McClain made
this declaration Monday when his
attention was called to the report
that the date of the final adjourn
ment may be extended.
Many bills of general interest are
still on the calendars and will not
be taken up until the appropriation
bills are out of the way. Speaker
McClain says the House should
clear its calendar of House appro-
priation bills by Wednesday and
that nothing will interfere with
their consideration, except bills for
which special orders have been or
may be made. 1t may be necessa
ry for the House to hold a brief
session on Saturday and the Senate
to meet on Friday to clear the cal
endars of appropriation bills.
The Dunsmore Railway Commits
sion bill will be acted upon by the
Senate Railroads committee on
Tuesday. This measure is wanted
by Governor Stuart and has already
passed the House. The Gerberich
bill has passed the Senate and is in
the House Railroads committee.
The prospects are the Dunsmore
bill will be brought out of commit
tee and passed by the Senate virtu-
ally i'll the form in which it went
through the House.
The only bills of general interest
on the Senate postponed calendar
are those abolishing poll tax and
appropriating $500, 900 for the re-
moval Of the Eastern penitentiary.
Among the legislation which will
come out in the Senate this week
are the Philadelphia wharf bills:
appropriating 5000, 900 for two san
itariums for INDECENT consumptives;
the House civil service bill for Sec
ond class cities; trolley eminent do
main bill, giving trolley companies
the right to diverge their routes,
and the bill recognizing the De-
partment of Public Grounds and
Buildings.
The soldiers pension bill, the
manufacturers tax bill and the ad-
ministration child labor bill are
among the many measures of gen
eral interest to be considered by the
House. The pension bill gives
Pennsylvania soldiers of the civil
war pensions ranging from S. to
$40 a month, according to their
term of service. 1t has already
passed the Senate. Because of the
large sum of money necessary for
the payment of these pensions, if it
should become law, the Governor
may be compelled to cut private
charity appropriations.
The Governor will take up none
of these appropriation bills until af
ter the close OF the Legislature. He
will have 80 days in which to act
upon them and all other legislation
which may now be sent to him. Ot
the more than 1900 bills which
have been introduced this session
less than 200 have been acted upor
by the Governor. 1t will be nee
essary to drop from the calenda
many bills in the closing days oi
the session.

CAPTURES RoBBER
AFTER BEING BEATEN

RENO, New, May 29.--Louis La
Place was attacked by box car robbers
near the cattle corrals in this city and
was severely beaten, but managed to
capture George Murphy, one of the
thieves. La Place, who is manager of
the La Place Advertising company, was
going past the cattle corrals on his
way to his home when he saw three
men jump from box car with their
arms full of plunder.
The men saw him, and after beating
him severely, left him lying on the
railroad track and ran. He regained
his feet and was returning to the bust
ness district of the city when q fourth
man jumped out of the car, and mis-
taking La Place for one of his CON-
panions, called to him to help him
carry his plunder. La Place ran to
Murphy side and took one Of the
bundles, then throwing it on the
ground, grasped the thief by the neck
and held him, telling him that he was
an officer.
He held Murphy until a switch engine
arrived near the place, when he called
for assistance. Murphy was turned
over to the police by the switch engine
crew.

ENCOUNTER BIG ORE Deposit.

Fairview, New, May 30.--In cross
cut at the 100-foo level of their new
shaft, the Nevada Hills Leasing CON-
pany has just encountered ore that by
it's value and the general formation in
dicates the nearby presence of the big
ore shoot on which tunnels Nos. and
5 of the main property are drifting
At present the work is confined to
drifting because the hoist has not ar
rived and the big shaft cannot be drop
ped down further without power. There
is however, believed to be many hun
dred thousand dollars worth of ore in
place for stopping from 100 level on
this lease. Superintendent Edgar Knox
received word this week that his 25
horse power engine was at Hazen and
efforts are being made to rush it
through to camp. 1t is certainly an ag-
gravating situation; the shaft is tim
bered for its entire depth, the immense
cement foundation for the engine has
been completed several days; the hugs
gallows frame has been cut and ready
for erection several weeks. Every
thing awaits the coming of power;
and in the meantime the time of the
lease contract is surely slipping away.

DIDN'T HAVE OPIUM
POOR JOHN
FOUNDER AND FEMALE
COMPANION BEAT CELESTIAL.
Because He Had No Opium Celestial
Meets With Semi Tragedy in
Early Morning Hours.

Mr.. Dooley, professional rounder,
who has been in Winnemucca for the
past six weeks, is sought by Sheriff
Lamb and the town officials. Mr..
Dooley has gone to greener fields, how.
ever, and there is small hope of hook
ing him within the eshes of the law,
where he rightly belongs.
Yesterday morning at 4 O'Clock
Dooley, with female companion. a
resident of Winnemucca half world,
took trip through Chinatown looking
for opium In their search they met a
Celestial, the head cook at the Lafay-
cite hotel To him they gave strenuous
demands that he produce some of the
sleep compelling drug.
"No got 'em,' said John
Without further ceremony Mr.
Dooley swatted the Chinaman and
knocked him down and afterwards
kicked him in the body and face.
The assailants then hurried to the
depot and boarded No. a for the east
The Chinaman swore to a warrant for
their arrest yesterday and notification
to stop the pair was sent to all the
stations east. They have not been
located at this writing and will prob
ably not be captured.

A FEARFUL CRIME.
Women Treated AS White Slaves in
Goldfield---Lynching in Order.

Word comes from Goldfeld that the
authorities have discovered two white
girls held in slavery by two men and
compelled to lead an involuntary ire
Of shame. The proceeds of this nefar-
ious transaction were appropriated by
the men who enslaved the girls. These
men are now under arrest and the
horrifying details of the story has ex-
cited the citizens of Goldfeld 80 that
lynching is talked Of
1t would seem that no ordinary pun
ishment would be sufficient to do JUS
tice to case like that and it seems
impossible to meet the case with any
thing less.
This is the first time in the history
of the State that such crime has been
unearthed. The ordinary laws seem
utterly inadequate to meet the case.

KILLS SISTER AND HERSELF.
Illinois Tragedy Proves to Be q Case
Of Murder and Suicide.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, May Bot is
now deemed certain that Cora Leeder
Brand, aged II killed her invalid sis
ter, Carrie, aged Z, and then killed
herself yesterday with the same re-
volver recovered from the creek near
where the bodies were found floating
nine miles north of here.
1t is believed that after Carrie was
shot the body was thrown into the
creek by Cora, who then shot herself
and threw herself into the water. The
father Of the girls, who found the
bodies, said Cora complained that the
incessant care Of her invalid sister was
an injustice to her, as it did not permit
her to enjoy the companionship OF
other young girls. The bullet wounds
were in precisely the same relative
position in the temple. No other
wounds were apparent.
