Cultured people are people who

A man is serving a sixty days' aer-

J. R , Holland , the defaulting cashier

Indiana has a gold field in Brown
County. Every three months the fever
rises and a local flurry ensues , but the
gold remains in its native hills. Now a
machine has been invented that is said
to be able to secure the invisible dust
that fills the sand and earth along the
headwaters of Salt creek. The gold-
bearing region consists of about sev-
enty-eight square miles in Brown ,
Johnson and Monroe counties. Whether
a vein or lode exists in the hills remains -
mains to be ascertained. Heretofore
all the gold has been found in flakes and
fine particles in the sand. Heavy
rains carry it down from the hills. This
indicates that the hills have the yellow -
low metal hid away somewhere in their
bowels. It has newer been found in
paying quantities , but the new machine
may make the Hoosier field of fabulous
richness.

Allan T. Williams who was con- I
sited of embezzling county funds while
county treasurer at Bayfield , Nis. , was
one of the best known characters in
the Badger state. He was editor of
one of the first papers printed in 'Wash-
burn , the Bee. In 1SS7 he was elected
county treasurer , and held that office
until February , 1894. During this
period ho held the offences of deputy
county clerk , justice of the peace , director -
rector of the Hydraulic company , president -
ident of the Mill Men's union , manager -
, ager and drum major of the Bayfield
cornet band , manager of the Harbor
City base ball club , and manager of
the opera house. He was commonly
known as the "Pooh Bah" of Bayfield
county. He was what is known as a
"good fellow" and that was the cause
of his down-fall. There's something
in being too good a fellow.
The constitution of Maryland provides -
vides "that in all criminal prosecutions
every man hath a right . . . to a
speedy trial by an impartial jury. "
But some years since the legislature
passed an act providing that in cases
of vagrancy the accused might be committed -
mitted to the workhouse , by a magistrate -
trate , for one year or less , without
trial by jury. A man thus committed
was brought before Judge Yellot on
writ of habeas corpus , and he was
promptly discharged , on the ground
that the act under which he had been
committed was unconstitutional. The
case was appealed by the county , and
the Court of Appeals ( the Supreme
Court of Maryland ) sustained the statute -
ute on the ground that the constitution t
of Maryland must be interpreted in
harmony with the practice under the
unwritten constitution of England , in
which country the guarantee of trial
by jury is not held to extend to such
cases. Reinforced by this decision ,
the magistrates of Maryland continued
to commit to the workhouse , without
jury trial , such vagrants as were
brought before them ; and Judge Yellott
as promptly discharged every man
thus deprived of his liberty who was
brought before him on writ of habeas
corpus ; and this , notwithstanding the
fact that case after case was taken to
the Court of Appeals , and always with
the same result , namely , that the "law"
was sustained. But the venerable
Judge Yellott treated it as void until
his retirement from the bench on account -
count of the infirmities of old age. And
we all say honor to such a judge.
The church social is a serious thing
for young men of limited means in all
sections of America , but in Kentucky ,
Tennessee and West Virginia it is positively -
itively dangerous. Hardlyan affair of
the kind is held in the rural regions
that at least one man does not give up
his life-not to religion , but to one or
another of the thousand feuds of that
6eetion.
Whether it is a case of the office
seeking the man or the man seeking'
the office , the search is a diligent one '
aowadays over a great many states.

two shots at the wagon in which we

and state reform. These meetings
followed morning prayer meetings in
a score of churches at 0:20 o'clock and

jective point of the crowds. An hour
before the doors were opened , several
thous ni persons were singing Endeavor -
deavor songs on the sidewalks outside.

tion of all international disputes and
concluded : But , you say , what would
you put into a young person's character -
ter if you could have your say about
it ? I would put in first total abstinence -
nence from strong drink. Yes , and 1
would go further than that if I could
have my say , I would put in total aL-
stinence from tobacco. Tobacco is a
dirty , vile , poisonous narcotic. It degrades -
grades any man who uses IL He may
be a good man with it , but a better
man w-ithout it. It creates an unnatural -
ural appetite that water will not satisfy -
isfy and leads to drink. With it you
will not be so likely to succeed in life ,
and more liable to become a drunkard.
Is that all ? Ohm , no ; if 1 had my - say ,
I would put you on the Lord -Jesus
Christ. If I had a voice that would
drown Niagara I would say to every
young man andthe young woman , in
the language of the book , 'Remember
now thy Creator in the days of thy
youth. ' I have seen young people
tvlto were fearfnl that they would
not be appreciated. I tell you , young
man or young woman , you couldn't
make a greater mistake than that.
The world will size you up about right ,
anti you will pass for about what you
are. In this favored land of ours. industry -
dustry , ability and wirture carryin
their hand the sure prestige of victory
and success. Am I addressing persons
of obscure parentage and lmmuble
birth ? I gum not here to say that it is
not a good tiling to be born well , because -
cause the commandment has a promise -
ise appended to it. I will show mercyy
to thousands of them that love me and

BOND FORGER LEWIS , '
IIe Managed to Get Away With a Large- '
Amount of Money. I
URBANA , Ohio , July 11-L.T. Lewis , t1
the fugitive broker from Urbana , Ohio ,
bought and sold over $3,000,000 bonds. I
last year. There is a showing already , Ii 1 ' '
of over $100,000 fraudulent bonds held ,
by the banks and money lenders , ands
it is believed the returns are not all in. m
These bonds litho
were handsomely I
graphed , including the oflfcial signatures -
tures to them. The audacity of time. ; 1
forgeries is magnified by time fact that.
the bonds were on all counties and (
towns within a day's carriage drive. r l
from Urbana. He sold none of these ,
bonds , but used them as collaterals for
loans. Lewis told a friend not long- ,
ago that he was in debt 520(1,000 ( for- 1 r
bonds. It is believed that at least.
half of these arc spurious. r .l
Lewis has not been seen since Monday -
day night , and it is believed he is en
route for South America to avoid ex-
tradition. A telegraph order was received - '
ceived here to-day to send his overcoat. I
and satchel to St. Clair , Mich. Some 1 '
believe this is a rrse to mislead lris. I I
pursuers. I ,

TO PAY IN SILVER.
to 1'ut the lyhite Metal in the '

Treasury in Circulation.

WASUiXGTON , July 11-A treasury -

it might be determined to pay off gov- .l
ernment employes all over the country I '
in silver , in order to get the silver now
in time treasury into circulation. He
(
observed that it was impossible to keep r'
in circulation more than 60.000,000 , '
standard silver dollars , while of :
gold there is something over 5 ISO- I
000,000 in constant circulation. '
The number of standard silver i
dollars to-day in circulation is. I l
about 5:1,000,000. The reason that silver - f
ver cirrmulates in the South and West is
explained by the fact that bankers in
shipping money for redemption to the
sub-treasuries , or the treasury direct ,
have to pay expressage , and to keep
this expense to the lowest point possible - ,
sible they continue in circulation just
as long as they can all the paper money
-$1 and $2 bills-and only when the
money becomes so ragged that it is
unfit for use do they send it to the
treasury to be redeemed , and very
often the bankers htave silver sent in .
exchange , time government in this instance -
stance paying expressage on the coin.
Bankers generally report that it is
more difficult to put off silver on their
customers than it is paper money.
