AVoll llUintrntcd.
The two confidence fellows , giving their
names as 11. L. Kallesh and J. , J. Shepherd ,
had their hearing before Justice Field yes
terday. The testimony showed that the
two wore partners working the little pad
lock scheme. Shepherd took the role of the
verdant stranger , who was anxious to bet
any amount of money that ho could open the
mysterious padlock exhibited by l.nllesh.
Lallesh was always willing to bet but
uu fortunately had no means except ft
draft , which ho was willing to
put up as security , It the saloon
man would lend him the monpy necessary to
mnko the bet and capture the veulant's
money. The game was tried In several Main
street saloons but no ono bit , and the pair
of sharpers found themselves suddenly
tumbled into a patrol wagon nnd headed for
the station. On the way there Shepherd
crumpled up nml dropped a draft for $1,500 ,
and his partner in llko manner tried to get
rid of the little padlock. Those evidences of
the * business were picked up by the police ,
however , and the follows had to fuco them in
court.
Krlitenccft of Tlirlr Orcupitllon.
On Laflcsh was found a $ V)0 ) draft , which
was made out on the same sort of a blank ,
and In the 3:11110 : handwriting , and in favor
of the same party , J. M. Beck , ns the $1,500
draft which bhephoril had tried to got out of
the way. It took a peed deal of tall swear
ing for the two fcllnws to explain themseh'cs.
Shepherd claimed that ho had fallen in with
Laflesh by chance at Sioux City , having had
a alight acquaintance only with htm before
in Chicago , whore Lallesh , or "Silver , " as ho
called him , had worked In n Clark street
auction house. Shepherd was bound for
Arkansas City , Kan. , and Lallesh concluded
to KO along , nrovided that Shepherd would
waltn few days until ho could realize on a
chfok for f.V)0 ) which ho had won gambling
with a man named Heck in Sioux City.
Shepherd was In u hurry to go on his way to
Kansas.
Lailcsh nrofossed to belong to the Order
of Trainmen , being an old railway man , and
that by reason of this ho could got free rides
and taken partner with him.iShepherd there
upon proposed to furnish grub money , if La-
tlcsh would furnish transportation , and the
two under this arrangement came to
Council nitiffs. While waiting hero for a
train to take them further on their way they
went into two or thrco saloons lo get re
freshments. In two of them Lailcsh showed
these little padlocks , in both cases pulling
them nut of his pocket accidentally with
some change , and as they attracted the at
tcntion of the bartender "in each case ho explained -
plained frankly that one of the padloclcs
would not open , for some reason , but that
the other would. In ono place the bartender
wanted to bet Shepherd , but the latter re
fused.
Clnlincil Thry W ro Strictly Honest.
Beyond some llttlo details like these both
men denied that they were trying to work
any game , and denied , too , that they had
tried to mnko way with the padlocks or
drafts. Neither of them had over seen the
$1.600 draft.
Laflesh said that in regard to the padlock
that ho did not know it was in his hand and
that if it was ho must have dropped it
out of the wagon in sheer nervousness as ho
put his hand up over the rail.
The precious pair were bound over to the
grand jury in the sum of $ ; iOO each , and in
default of bail were talcen to Jail. There
seems little doubt but that they are quite
slick , but their play in Council BlnlTs was
very unfortunate , possibly because they
toolc it few too many early drinks before
staying their stoma'chs against prohibition
whisuy by a substantial breakfast. |

Nothing Un * Yet lli'on Heard from tlio
Mlsslnc Watson.
The search was being kept up vigorously
yesterday for some solution of the mystery
surrounding the disappearance \Vatson ,
the traveling man. at Silver City. As usual ,
just as soon as the occurrence of such an
event becomes generally known there sprung
up a thrifty crop of clews and singular cir
cumstances , each of which , iu the mind of
the excited narrator , Is the all important
ono for speedy investigation. One of the
most singular of these was oue which throw
the little town of Mincola
inio a state of ex
citement almost equal to that tingling the
nerves of its near neighbor , Silver City. As
the story goes , a saloon man at Mincola
went to ono of his outbuildings late Monday
night and was surprised by the form
of a man crouched in one corner.
As ho struck n match to enable him
to see more clearly who was there , the un
known jumped and ran. but not before tlio
Biiloonist had noticed that he was halloas ,
coatless and vesllcss. Ho
excitedly gave the
alarm , told what ho had seen , and soon
neighbors nnd citizens were running in all
directions searching for him whom they
supposed must be the missing U'utbon. The
saloomst's slory had Us force rather shaken
by the discovery that the narrator did not
get over his excitement , but it rather In
creased , until yesterday morning it ills
qultei evident that ho was far uI ! from lsa
mental balance. This has caused the con
jectures to bo divided , ns to whether the
saloonist imagined he saw such a man as ho
described , or whether ho really did see him
and the shock caused him to lose his mind.
The theory that Watson was assaulted in
such a manner as to leave him in a dazed
condition , causing him to wander otf , seems
to bo meeting with most favor. The absence
of traces of blood - cog.
any p-ovys most puzzling ,
but the absence of any motives for him tote
voluntarily disappear is equally certain.

Chris , Larson , a South Main street mer
chant , is being congratulated for his success
ful methods of collecting bad accounts.
Hans I'etersen had owed him a bill that hud
paused the ago of youthful Indiscretion ,
turning the seven year period by
several mouths. The amount exceeded
K'O , and Peterson always managed
to keep his property In such a
shapethat executions were harmless ,
few day ago Peterf.cn went Into a South
Main street saloon and ordered the drinks :
for some of his friends. When ho went i to
pay the bill ho stepped into a back room ,
pulled oIT a shoo and sock and took out a
reel of (140. Ono of Larson's friends
happened to sea the performance ana re-
noricd the fuel , Larsen then devised
uu original schemu to got a whack at
the roll. Ho got UU friouUi to accompany
Peterson around town and pro utfon him
frequent injunctions to take ft drink , and
the result was that within a few hours the
stocking banker was rlpo enough for the
police to pick. The people nt the city Jail were
given a Mint to search the prisoner's stock
ings and the JUO roll was brought to view
and deposited in the strong box In the
Jailor's onico. Before the trial was called
the next morning Larson garnished the mar
shal , got judgment In a justice's court and
collected his bill. Other creditors heard of
the proceedings and followed suit. A llttlo
of the money is still left In the court's
hands awaiting any other creditors who may
happen to hear of the case ,
HIS IOKA 01' A

T. Hyan , h grizzly old patriarch of about
ninety pounds weight nnd OOyoars existence ,
was brought Into the central police station
yesterday afternoon In the patrol wagon at
the Instance of his wife and neighbors. Ho
celebrated tlio recurrence of Labor dny and
only got into a condition to feel real young
and frisky about 8 o'clock yesterday afterIool
noon. Then the furniture of his humble
domicile on Seventeenth avenue required his
attention , Ho procured an nxo and devoted
a perspiring hour to the reduction Into
kindling wood of every article suitable In
the house. His old wlfo had to fly for her
life , and when she got some of her
neighbors to como to the rescue
of her household goods there wasn't
much left , and nearly nil of U was
lying out In the yard. Not a single article
that couH succumb to the blows of the ax
remained In existence. Deputy Marshal
Anderson , who accompanied the wagon , de
scribed the wreck as being the most com-
uleto ho hud over seen outside of a dynamite
explosion.
The grizzled old sinner had. to bo picked
UP bodily nnd carried into the cell assigned
him until this morning. The police say that
It was the best doseof flghtine whisky they
have encountered for u long time. A few
weeks ago Kj'an had another jamboree and
came near wrecking his homo , nnd Ofllcer
Lcuch had to tlo him up in his bit ; bandanna
handkerchief and carry him to the nearest
patrol box. Ho was discharged that time
upon giving Judge Medico many repentant
promises , but ho will probably bo taken care
of this time until his wlfo can rehabilitate ]
the stricken home.

THE BEE. ] There was an clement of pathos
In the proceedings of the iftstrlct court hero
today , the children 6f the Into Mrs. Mawhor
being called on to testify to the fuels
surrounding their mother's last hours.
The little boy nnd girl , who are bright
looking , Intelligent children , evidently
felt the peculiar situation In which they
wcra placed , nud showed they know the Im
portance of the proceedings. They gave
their testimony In a simple , straightforward
way , their childish voices seeming strangely
ont of place In so serious a matter as the
trial of n man for his life. Ami when tbo
man was the one who had undertaken the
duty of n father and who was accused of the
awful crime of murdering their mother , the
pity of the thing was Impressed on all who
heard their evidence.
Clarence Erbeck , the 11-year-old son of
the dead woman , was the first witness
called. Ho told of being at school on the
uay his mother died. Ho returned In the
evening and ate supper with the family.
After auppor his mother busied hcrsell par-
tug tomatoes to make pickles. Just
before she went to bed she wont
to the pantry nnd got some quinine
capsules. They were In u covered box. Ills
mother took two , ami then asked Mavhor ,
"Shall 1 taKe the oilier onol" Mawhor
answered , "Do as you plonso. " She look
the third ono and then went to bed. In
about twenty minutes she woke up and
called him and his sister. She Uissed them
goodby and said she was going to die. To
Mawhor she said , "What was in that iiii- ]
nine , i am afraid it is going to kill mo. Wit
ness went after Airs. Harris , and Mrs.
Harris went for the doctor. His mother
said nothing about the third capsule being n
litilo one. ( This statement is m contradic
tion of what. Mawhor told before the cor
'
oner's Jury , when ho said his wife spoke of
the third capsule being a "llttlo one. " )
Fiivorcd IIlH StpplntliiT.
Cross examination developed the fact tha
the little hey was rather partial to Mawhor
and when the court made the order placing
him In Sheriff Tale's hands it was atrainst
the wishes of the lad. Ho said Mawhor had
promised his mother on her deathbed to take
good care of the children. When Mawhor
was arrested the boy ran away and stayed
with George Mawhor , a brother of tbo
defendant.
Llttlo Fannie Erbeck , daughter of the de
ceased wife , told in substance tbo same
story us her bi-otltoijconcerning the evening
prior to the mother's ilenth. She said
that when her mother asked Mawhor
if she should take the third
capsule -
sulo he replied : "Do as you please.
It makes no difference to me. He re
peated this remark , and then her mother
look the capsule. Nothing was said about
the third capsule beiutf u small one. Fannie
went to bed , but did trot go to sleep. She
saw Mawhor going to the kitchen after
water for her mother , Then her mother
called the children ty her bedside and kissed
them'goodby. ' '
To
ITannie's ( luery as to wliat
was the matter shq s\id \ , " 1 don'l know. I
believe 1 am going , lo die. " She told the
children to bo good children. Then she said :
"I wish I had no , , taken those capsules.
They are 6-oIng to kid mo. " Mawhor stood
by and when his ilyiiig wife said this he
only shook his head. Her mother's last
words were to Mrs. Harris : "Don't rub my
foot , " Her mother , " did nothing unusual
during several -immediately before her
death.
Kiinw of Her .Mother' * Insllrnnoe.
On cross-examination It was developed
that Mrs. Mawhorhad ( told her daughter a
few nays before hijr deatti that she had her
life insured for ? 5,000. Witness also admit
ted that Grandma 'Erbeck haa told her she
had better refer to the defendant as Mr.
Mawhor and not as "Old Mawhor. "
An argument was then precipitated as to
the admission of the testimony of Mrs.
Fannie Erbeck of Alton , 111 , , mother of the
dead woman , the defense contending that no
notice of oho states ! intention in this respect
had been served. The state contended that
the production of the witness "as notice
sulllcient. The objection was sustained.

Prctldriit Cleveland Confer * wllh Concrcus-
man Ontm Over n Mcn nrr.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 6. "You cnn
R y , " said Congressman Oatca of Ala-
bninn ns ho left the white house after nn
Interview wltlf the president on the
subject of the proposed repeal of the
state bank tax , "that while I am not nt
liberty to relate my conversation with
Air. Cleveland , I can say ho Is not op
posed to the repeal of the prohibitive
tax. "
This Interview was considered of such
linportnnco thnt the president , declined
to receive Air. Hlount nnd several
foreign ministers who called at the
tlino the Interview wns progressing.
It is true that the administration
is endeavoring to dovlso some plan
by which the demands of the southern
and western democracy for inoro
currency cnn bo satisfied , effect bo given
to the state bank plunk of the demo
cratic platform , and the schism which
exists in the democratic party because
of the advocacy of gold monoinotnlllsm
bv the president bo healed. Hut It Is
also true that the project has not passed
beyond the stage of suggestion nnd thnt
even In the preliminary consideration
obstacles have been suggested which It
seems dllllcult , if not impossible , to over
come.
It Is difficult to eco how n law Is to bo
framed which will save the benollts of
the existing national banking act , cure
some of its defects , maintain national
supervision and safeguards , and yet re-
inovo the barriers which now prevent
free and unlimited state banking.
The most Intelligent statement of the
plan said to be under consideration is
the following : A reorganization of the
national banking system under which
national banks may bo organized with n
minimum capital of $2o,000 ( ) , and with
the privilege of issuing circulating notes
to 2 per cent of their assets , but not to
exceed the amount of their capital.
The purpose of fixing the minimum cap
ital at $250,000 for national banks is to
conllno the Inrgo banks to commercial
centers , thus encouraging the establish
ment of state banks in the less. populous
sections of. the country. The security
for the circulating notes is to consist of
10 per cent of government bonds , 0 per
cent of commercial paper and 20 per
cent of coin. Instead of the existing tax
of 1 per cent on circulation , it is pro
posed that one-half of 1 per cent shall
bo imposed on so' ' much of tbo circula
tion as is secured by government bonds
nnd 1 per cent on the remainder.
In reference to stnto banks , it is pro
posed that the law shall provide that in
states which enact laws in harmony with
the federal law state banks may obtnln
circulation notes upon the same terms as
national banks. The states must re
quire that banks deposit with the proper
state oiliccr tlio same amount of state or
municipal hootirities as is required for
national banks , and that tlio cash and
commercial paper shall bo sot apart in
the same proportion as additional secur
ity. In addition to these collaterals , the
eiitiro assets of banks , both national nnd
are to bo hold to secure circulat
ing notes.
State bunks organized in the manner
described are to bo exempt from the pay
ment of the 10 per cent tax now imposed
on circulating notes of such banks , but
they will bo required to pay the wmio
tax imposed upon the circulation of na
tional brinks , which is , too , held for re
demption of the notes of failed and
liquidating banks. The noted of issue
to state banks will bo a series distinct
from these issued to national banks.
Both issues will bo
accepted by the gov
ernment in payment of all public dues ,
but will not have the full legal tender
quality.
Mr. Carlisle has for some time been
tninking over the question of the coinage -
ago of the silver bullion now in the
treasury and is anxious thut nn author
ization for this coinage should bo given
by congress. The two propositions will
probably bo combined and recommended
to congress for action or , at.all events ,
the leaders in congress will bo given t. )
understand that the administration will
approve of a measure repealing the tax
on state banks and providing for tlio
coinage of bullion.
It is believed that this proposition ,
which is in the nature of an accommoda
tion from the mlministration to these
who are anxious for an increase in the
volume of money , is expected greatly to
case up the opposition to the repeal of
tlio Sherman law , and it is beliovcd thut
It will haaten notion by the senate on the
Voorhccs 1)111. The senators from the
Hilvor states not bo
. . inny alfoctcd much
by it , but nearly all of the other sjlvur
men , ( will probably bo satisfied with it.
