Button Company Shuts Down.

The Hawkeye Button Co., which
was controlled by Bradshaw has not
been operated since Saturday, but no
examination has been made as to the
actual condition of the concern it is
said
1t was ascertained yesterday in
Quincy that after Bradshaw came to
Quincy last week that he went from
there to Hannibal, for the purpose,
it is stated, of trying to negotiate a
loan, so that he would be able to
render accounting of his trusteeship
at the proper time. This trip was
kept a secret, it is said, as it is learn
ed that he did not succeed in raising
the money he expected to borrow.
Constant brooding over his affairs has,
it is stated, been noticeable ever since

Statements at Canton as to Why c. NJ.
Bradshaw, Prominent Lumber
Man, Took His
Life.
WAS SAID TO BE SHORT
Reported That He could not Account
for His Trusteeship-Events of
Few Days Previous
to Act.

The motive which prompted Cyrus
nent citizens of Canton, Mo-, to take
his life Monday by shooting himself
with 32-calibre revolver purchased
in Quincy few days before, is said
to be that he was so deeply involved
that there was no possibility that he
could meet his obligations. Credence
was given to this story by The resi-
dents of Canton yesterday, according
to a statement made last night by ].
H. Hoskins, of the Park hotel in Can
ton, because of the fact that
two suits for $4,000 brought
by eastern parties, are pend
ing against Bradshaw in Canton.
These suits are set for hearing at the
March term of the circuit court at
Canton, it is said, before Judge Stew
art.
Said to Be Behind With Company.
1t was also the common talk around
Canton yesterday that Bradshaw,
who was trustee for the Canton Saw
hill 20, ana VINO Was expected W
make a settlement to the court this
term, was unable to do SO, because,
it is alleged, that he was behind to
the extent of several thousand dol
lars, some reports being that he could
not account for about $4,000 that
had passed through his hands while
he was trustee.
1t was further stated thai the al
legged shortage was due to misman-
agement and to speculation in Texas
lands, not to any criminal intention
on his part.

Detective Weldon Leaves
Washington on Big
Robbery:
HOPE TO RECOVER
STOLEN JEWELRY
Central Office Force Believes
Some of Loot Will Be
Found.

That the police have obtained what is
believed 70 be an important clue In
the SI5,O0O-iewelry theft from the home
Of Mrs. Isham Hornsby. I7l5 street
northwest, became known today. when
it was learned that Central Office De-
tective Weldon, who is conducting the
investigation, left Washington hurriedly
last night.
According 10 a well-foJnded rumor
at Police Headquarters, the detectives
have information which they expect viii
lead to the recovery of some of the
stolen property, although the police as
sert they do not expect developments in
the case at present which will result
in any arrests.

tives, said Detective weldon had left

Police at Sea.
Unless the clue on which Detective
Weldon is working should develop
something tangible, the police admit
that they are at sea in the case.
The further investigation which the
detectives made this morning convinced
them beyond all doubt that entrance TO
Mrs. Hornsby's room was effected
through the vacant house owned by
Mrs Thomas Fortune Ryan, at 1Il3 I
street The finding there of the mahOg-
any cabinet in which the jewels had
been concealed indicated that the thieves
spanned the fOur-fOOt areawav between
me houses with a board. and as the
window in Mrs HOrnsby's room was
unlocked, they evidently experienced
little difficulty in getting in.

Because Mrs. Hornsby had devised an
Ingenious scheme for concealing her

theory that the robbery was committed
by some one familiar with the premises,
and who knew that the bottom of the

New York City.
The 18th n. Y. Battery was organized
at Albany Jan. 3. 1862, by the CONSOLE
dation of the companies recruited by
Capts. w. II. Ellis and w. N Shaw.
At the expiration of the service of the
non-veterans Feb. IS, 1865, a number
of recruits intended for the goth N Y.
Battery were assigned to it. The bat
terry was first commanded by Capt. Ell
lis, and then by Capt. George f. Nc
Knight, and was mustered out under
Capt. Charles A. Clark. It lost killed
in action one officer and four enlisted
men and by disease II enlisted men, of
whom three died in prison. 1t was

ment. They must educate the children.
build roads and bridges, administer jus
tice, erect the needed official buildings
care for the poor and insane ard
minister in a thousand other ways to
the actual and pressing neeus of their
people. They must get the money for
this by direct taxation, which bears
hardly and Immediately upon every
lwage-earner and property-hoider. Every
dollar that they get must be taken di-
rectly from some mans pocket, and
diminish the income which he receives
from his labor-or his investments.
Not so the National Government It's
taxes are all indirect and generally i'm
posed for other purposes than securing
revenue. Much the larger part of the
Governments income is received from
duties and imposts levied to protect and
develop our home manufactures and
agricultural Industries, to regulate and
restrain the liquor business and for SIM
liar economic and moral purposes. The
local taxation is felt acutely, while the
Federal taxation MAKES no impression
Whatever.
The proceedings of every Board of
County Commissioners. of every Mu-
nicipal Council, are struggles between
the importunate needs of making i'm
lprovements, of providing for local
wants and the difficulty of providing
the wherewithal to meet these de-
mands. Every dollar raised by local
taxation brings groan from those
from whom it is extracted and a jealous
watch as to the purpose to which it is
applied.
The passage Of The National Tribune
bill will be of the greatest relief to the
local treasures all over the country,
and it will release for other much
needed purposes millions of dollars now
appropriated by generous and sympa-
thetic communities to meet the actual
pressing wants of the veterans and
their widows in their last years of age
and decrepitude.
