clicked loudly. For space Maitland
stood in the hallway, troubled, appre-
hensive, heart strangely oppressed,
vision clouded by the memory of the
girl as he had seen her only a few
minutes since; as she had stood be-
meath the chandelier, after acting
upon her primary clear-headed impulse
to give her rescuer the aid of the
light.
He seemed to recall very clearly her
slight figure, swaying, a-quiver with
fright and solicitude-care for him!-
her face, sensitive and sweet beneath
its ruddy crown Of hair, that of a
child waking from evil dreams, her
eyes seeking his with their dumb mes

again, alone, that he should linger re-

himself and Of her-a thief.

hunger of his heart? Yet If he

The world might go hang, for all he

exchange for thief and an idler, per-

might not be accounted altogether

He set back his shoulders and in.

stepped into the study, resolved.

He heard no response. The long

motionless. Still, sharp and staccato

Ditch Assessments Changed.

Dltcn Assessments changed.
The three appeals from the award
of benefits and damages in the matte,
of the construction of County Ditch
No. 3, was taken up before Judge
Flaherty this week. The appeal ot
John G. johnson Jr. was tried, and de-
cision rendered annuiling the assess
mention the nw14 of sec. 80, Scott,
and the sw1 of sec. 20, and allowing
$500 damages. The assessment ol
$210 ON the south half of section 81
was not changed. The appeal OF
John Keefe was settled and Keefe
was allowed $500 damages on the
northwest quarter of section 80. The
appeal of the township of Scott was
settled, the assessment being allowed
to stand, and the town being allowed
$3.50 for bridge between sections 2s
and 80. These changes will make it
necessary for the county auditor to
make new distribution of the cost
of constructing the ditch over the
lands affected. Ign
The case of Cannon VS.. Colyer was
decided by the jury on Saturday, the
verdict being $69.67 for the plaintiff.

The whole matter has now assumed
phase where the administration can

The whole matter has now assumed
a phase where the administration can
no longer control it. The transac ction
which SO great pains was taken to
keep secret is now public. The State
treasurer has no authority to credit
Mr.. McDermott with money received
from Mr.. McEwen and reported as
part of his regular receipts, for as
stated before the monthly reports
have been certified to by Mr.. McEwen
as the collections of the department
for the month, the companies which
the money was received being speci-
fed in each case.
In view of the whole situation the
secretary of State has pursued the
only course possible in order to avoid
being implicated in what can only be
regarded as a grave scandal. He has
notified Mr.. McDermott's bondsman,
the Title Guaranty and Surety COM
pany of Scanton, Pa, of the shortage
and also placed the matter in the
hands of the attorney general in or
der that such legal action may be in
stituted as is demanded in the prem
ises. Whether the attorney general
will institute proceedings or not is not
vet known, but whether he takes
action or not it is certain that the Ti-
tie Guaranty and Surety company
will not be Influenced by political con-
siderations to refrain from taking
such steps as are necessary to protect
itself in case of loss under its bond,
and it may insist that the law shall
take it's course in the event that in
vestigation shows that the stipula-
tions of the bond have been violated.
Since the above was written state
ment has been made by the present
oil inspector from which it appears
that no money was paid in on account
of McDermott's shortage in the
months of November and December
of 1907. In each the succeeding, in
Guiding March, 5000 is said to have
been paid by McDerrnott to McEwen
and turned into the State treasury as
current receipts. A final payment Of
SIS, 1875 was made after the publica-
ton of these facts in the case under
circumstances which leaves no room
for question that the fact that Nc
Dermott had appropriated public
to his own use had been known
by the administration.

RECORDS IN BAD SHAPE
Public Examiner Takes Report on
School District SO.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press of
thursday says" Laxity in keeping
the records Of the district is charged
against the officers of School District
no. 80 in Stevens county by the public
examiner. An investigation of the
accounts Of the district has just been
concluded by an examiner of the de-
partment, who concludes his report
with this statement:
"What should have been done by
the officers was left undone and that
which was done is so unintellgible,
showing such indifference and care
lessness to the interests of the district
that the best interests of the district
would in my opinion be best served
by an immediate change
aThe examiner reports that he found
William Logue, the treasurer, very
sick with cancer. He found no stubs
OF the order books used from July 2s,
1901, to July %, 1905, and the minutes
OF the meetings of the board do not.
in some cases, show that any of the
voters were present at the meetings,
nor is theirs any record of the elec-
tion or justification of the officers.
The minutes do not show that any
bills were presented or allowed by the
board. A new school house has just
been built, but the records do not
show whether it was built by contract
or day labor.
Ehe treasurer's record book, the
examiner reports, does not contain
any entries of the receipts and dis
bursements, which are contained only
In the treasurer's reports to the clerk
and these are not attested by the
officers as required by law. There
wasno record of the outstanding orr
dersso that it was impossible to as
certain how much the treasurer ought
to have on hand.
"He also found some difference be-
tween the report for 19O4-O5 made by
the treasurer to the clerk and the one
made to the county superintendent of
schools and states that the difference
of $35 ought to be paid back to the
distssss... st. .'s3

Found Dead in a Cab.

Chicago, March 27.-James Kane
was found dead in a cab at Eighteenth
street and Calumet avenue with bull
let through his head. He is believed
to have met his death from wounds
inflicted by a policeman who tried to
arrest him after he and two compan-
ions had beaten cabman, stolen his
cab and held up and robbed two
pedestrians in the course of wild
dash through the streets of the North
and West Sides of the city.
