USEFUL PRISONERS.
Convicted Bankers Find Discrepancy
in the. Prison Books.

Pittsburg, March 9.-Convicted bank
ers, now prisoners in the western peni-
tentiary. have discovered an apparent
discrepancy of more than $4,000 in the
accounts of the prison and it is thought
the amount may be larger. The board
Of visitors of the western penitentiary
some time ago appointed Henry Reiber,
formerly paying teller of the Farmers
Deposit National bank, now an inmate
of the prison, to audit the books of the
institution.
Finding an apparent discrepancy and
being unwilling to assume all RESPONSE
bility Reiber secured the assistance of
w. Montgomery, former cashier of the
Allegheny National bank, and J. B. F.
Rinehart, former cashier of the Farm
ers' and Drovers' National bank of
Havensburg, Pa. Both convicts agreed
with him in his findings. Report of
the discrepancy was made today to the
board of visitors, who are awaiting the
return of Warden VIM. Johnson before
making further investigation. 1t is
probable the discrepancy may be ac-
counted for by bad bookkeeping.

WICKERSHAM LEFT OUT.
No Biographical Sketch of Him Could
Be Found.

Washington, March 9.-An interest
ing incident in connection with the
selection of George w. Wickersham for
attorney general is being commented
upon by employees of the congressional
library who were appealed to for
biographical matter concerning him.
A thorough search of the library was
made for a sketch of the new attorney
general but although the library is rich
in material bearing upon public and
professional men of New York, moth
ing could be found upon the career of
Mr. WickerSham.
1t was explained by employees of the
library that in the career of lawyers
who take little part in public affairs
and who are not prominently in the po-
ltical world, it happens that matter
concerning them is not easily accessi-
BILE. 1t is said that among lawyers
whose activities are confined purely to
office work their distinction is often
limited to their professions, until in
some emergency they are brought be-
fore the Emelight.

Attic l11y 1S

'The old Sexton" written by Frank
Reddick, and presented by his COM
pany at the Grand last night, appeared
to please the audience.
The chief charm of the play seems
to lie in it's simplicity and naturalness,
in which the different characters were
portrayed. Mr.. Reddick, as John Nell
son, was an ideal country parson,
simple, una assuming and kind, yet with
a certain dignity that lent force to
the role which he assumed. Both in
his appearance and acting there was
just suggestion of the character of
the martyred president, Mckinley.
This is not the first time he has ap-
peared before a Topeka audience, but
he made as good, if not better inn
preston, as at his previous engage
ments here. Milly Freeman, as Mar
tina Nelson, the sexton's sister, sup
posed to be one of those quaint, kind
ly elderly women, whom we often
meet in a country town, gave pleas
ing rendering of her part.
The story of the play covered a
period of twenty-five years, from 1860
to 1882. In the course of the story,
environments and circumstances for
the different individuals of the cast
were supposed to have been greatly
changed, and in their acting the mem
bers of the company showed the diff
ference wrought in their characters,
wrought by these changes and passing
of time, with remarkable fidelity to
life.
Very true to life also We're several
of the scenes of the play. The simple
life of the country sections home, as
revealed in the first act, the supper
scene. the evening hymn, played on
the organ by the village organist, the
benediction, and the parsons son,
sneaking downstairs after the rest had
retired to bring his pet kitten back to
bed with him. After the last act,
when all wrong had been righted,
when the lovers and the father and
son had been united, It is not improb-

first committee to be appointed at the
extra session will be made up as it
was in the last congress with the ex-
ception of several vacancies that must
be flied. The bill will be referred to
the committee, which will report it
back in two or three days with a re-
port sustaining the views of the Re
publican members.
Problem of Getting Money.
The problems of providing funds with
which to carry on the projects under
way, to maintain the plans of the Taft
administration and to make the de-
mands square with a new tariff sche-
dule is the work with which President
Taft, Senator Aldrich. Speaker Can
non and Secretary MacVeagh were en-
gagged at a two hours conference at the
White House. The necessity for the
enactment of a tariff bill at the ear1-
est possible moment was discussed.
Whether a definite policy was outlined
at the conference could not be stated.
That the manufacturers and other
large interests are demanding early tar
iff legislation and that the business
conditions of the country will be un-
settled until the tariff schedules are
finally fixed by congress were the pr1n-
cipal reasons for the desire to permit
nothing to interfere with prompt action
by congress at the special session
The possible delay which the house
insurgents may cause by promoting
a fight on the rules and the further
difficulties that may be put In the way
of getting the tariff bill through with
out delay were thoroughly gone into.
The conferees agreed that every Re
publican in each house is pledged by
the party platform to let nothing in
terfere with immediate revision. Presi-
dent Taft told the tariff trainers last
Saturday that his message on tariff
revision would contain reference to
specific schedules.
Mr.. Taft, however, has made a con-
sistent fight for genuine revision of
the tariff and has let it be known he
would be satisfied with nothing less.
In his inaugural address he called at
tention to the one hundred million
dollar deficit which confronted his ad-
ministration and suggested the pos
sibiIitv of necessity of an inheritance
tax to make up some of the future
revenues.
Franklin MacVeagh has allowed
himself to be quoted as to the neces-
sity of a stamp tax. 1t is certain that
since the conference there is a more
definite understanding as to what may
and what may not be desired of the
proposed new tariff as a revenue
producer. If the conclusion has been
reached that tariff revision must be
radical. provision in the bill may be
looked for which will have for its
nurpose the realizing of revenue by
other means than a tax on imports.
Mr.. MacVeagh was sworn IN as
secretary of the treasury and in an
hour he was in conference with the
president the speaker and the leader
of the senate.

The personnel of this legislature is
far above the average. Taken as a
bunch, they were business-like gentle
men who voted their personal convic-
tions, and honestly intended to give
the state fair deal. All of them are
worthy of a return trip in two years.
Their experience this time, and their
acquaintance with each other, will be
of benefit to them later.

Much sickness is of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di-
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
If any of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. DR.. Miles Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. 1t
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation of nerve force.
Therefore you can hardly miss
it if you take DR.. Miles Nervine

your druggist. Take it all ac-
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return

Ex-senator Fitzpatrick, who is an at
torney for the Standard, has been in
Topeka four times since the legislature

he was among those present when the
Copeland burned down. He stayed
long enough to dig his watch out of the
ruins, and ruminate upon the narrow
escape of the Large, powerful and well

then, he has dropped in a few times
to look over the bunch of which he
formerly made one, and commiserate
with the chief executive over the

The "ides of March, and a severe
snow storm having arrived, the legis-
lature breaks away, and the big end
thereof, goes home to peace and quiet,
While a few nearby members await the
bills passed.
Out of a collection of nearly eighteen
hundred bills, sufficient number have
been passed to answer the crying needs
of the times. The crying need of some
of the boosters of a number of alleged
party measures, will have to keep on
crying.
The governor will not veto any of the
bills brought before him during the re-
mainder of this week, unless John
Dawson fails to o. K. them. 1t has
been observed that all the bills signed
by the governor bore the penciled
mark, 20. k. d. placed conspicuously
near the signature of the executive, so
that minor state officers who chance
to handle the documents later could
not fail to note the Importance of the
private secretary.
Much has been said, in a certain
newspaper about the large, powerful
and well organized Standard Oil lob
by" This large, powerful and well
organized person feels all swelled up
about it. He never knew, until thus
bawled out in print, that he was large,

that he is well organized.

who takes a seat in either house is in
