whicht are constantly flying over the

smuggling diamonds , pearls and other
gems valued at more than $300,000 ,

sion of Mrs. Helen Dwelle Jenkins ,
have been secretly returned by the
federal grand jury here.
The Indictments , v/hich have been
kept under seal for two weeks by the
United States district attorney and
now only made public , are against the
following : '
Nathan Allen , millionaire leather
manufacturer of Kenosha , Wis. , who
has for years had friendly relations
with Mrs. Jenkins and who Is said
to have purchased most of the jewel
ry in Europe and brought it over for
her.
her.John
John R. Collins , wealthy coal opera
tor of Tennessee , who is also said to
have purchased jewels in Europe in
tended for Mrs. Jenkins.
Three counts are included in each
of the indictments returned against
Allen and Collins. They charge smug
gling and conspiracy to smuggle.
Mrs. Jenkins lived in Sheridan road ,
Chicago , for a year or more , and it
was during this time that the alleged
smuggling is declared to have taken
place.
These jewels , valued at $170,000 ,
were given to Mrs. Jenkins In 1900 ,
and for two years the revenue officers
have been collecting evidence that
they were brought from Europe with
out the payment of duty. Mrs.
Jenkins , Collector or the Port Loeb
and Deputy Surveyor Parr were wit
nesses before the grand jury that in
vestigated the case a month ago.

copulation of Manhattan and the

WAR SCARE.
MANY WILD RUMORS AFLOA1

Induce People In Germany t <
Withdraw Savings From Banks.
Paris. The delay in the settlemen
of the Moroccan question , which ii
now being negotiated in Berlin be
tween high officials of France anc
Germany , has brought an uneasj
feeling akin to a war scare through
out this country , Germany and Bel
glum.
This feeling was augmented ii
Paris by the action of La Patrle ii
publishing a long story to the effecl
that France is concentrating a large
army on the German border. It wai
allayed to some extent by the state
ment of the ministry of war , which
said the movement was solely for the
purpose of annual maneuvers.
The same spirit of unrest seems tc
tys gaining the upper hand in Ger
many. According to dispatches re
ceived here , the people of many pro
vincial cities in Germany are taking
their savings deposits from the banks ,
'earing a war.
At the same time Belgium Is known
: o be strengthening its force on the
border to preserve neutrality if the
Franco-German clash comes.
The Paris bourse was affected to
> nly a slight degree by the Moroccan
situation. Some French money in the
jrocess of withdrawal from Berlin ,
jither directly or through Swiss
) anks , was explained by the unusual
lemands of the approaching January
jayments.

Her parents fear she was taken by

irobably murdered and the body sunk
n one of the lakes surrounding the

The Lemberger family lives In the
enter of a district inhabited by Ital-
ans and Russian Jexrs , but the police
o not suspect any of them , as the
arents are too poor to pay a ransom ,
nd so far as known have not incurred

Health measures are opposed by the

pose of spreading the infection , firmlj
believing that it Is the desire of the
authorities to kill , through poison , a

State Funds Will Be Protected.
In an opinion addressed to State
Treasurer George , Attorney General
Martin holds that banks newly apply
ing for the deposit of state funds need
not offer a surety bond as security ,
providing they are protected by the1
guaranty law , but that the banks which
have already given surety bonds for
the -protection of state funds cannot'
ipuJl down their bonds nor Is anyone
authorized to release them from such
obligations. As a result state funds
deposited in state banks will be pro
tected by surety bonds and by the
guaranty law at the , same time. The
old law required that bonds should 'be
given the state treasurer for twice the
amount of state funds deposited and
that this sum should never exceed 30
iper cent of the bank's capital stock.
The attorney general holds that this
part of the law is still in effect. State
bank ! are not required to include state
funds in their total of deposits sub
ject to assessment for bank guaranty-
purposes.
Changes at Soldiers' Home. ;
Governor Aldrich has issued an or
der making an entire change in the
administration of the state home for
soldiers at ? Milford. The change is to
take place September 10. In place of
Commandant Howard the governor ap
pointed W. L. Hilyard of Superior.
Captain Crawford of Lincoln , who has
been adjutant is to be succeeded by
W. H. Crites of Central City. The
matron is to be the daughter ofMr. .
Hilyard , Mrs. Mary C. Saum of Su
perior. Mrs. Walsh , the present mat
ron , was to have been succeeded by
Mrs. Downes of Lincoln , but that ar
rangement was not completed and as
a result the daughter of the new com
mandant is to be matron. Her hus
band is a millwright and will probably
make his headquarters at the home.
State Buys Home Securities.
The board of educational lands and
funds has authorized the sale of $31 ,
000 of Tennessee 3 per cent state
bonds and the reinvestment of the
funds in 41/fc per cent municipal
bonds. Treasurer George is to ac
cept $17,500 of bonds issued by the
town of Bridgeport , $8.500 of Haigler-
bonds and $4,500 of Bartley bonds.
Test Ride for Major Penn.
Major Julius A. Penn , Twelfth infantry -
fantry , U. S. A. , who is on detached"
duty as an instructor of the Nebraska
national guard , has received notice to
proceed to Fort Crook and undergo ,
the annual test ride on horseback in
vented by President Roosevelt for the
officers of the army. The date of the-
test and the route have not -been or
dered , but it must be a ride of ninety
miles , or thirty miles each day for
three days. Seven and a half hours
ire allowed for the first two days and
six hours for the last day of the test
Will Continue in Force.
It Is expected that Attorney Gen-
jral Martin will shortly write an
jpinion , in reply to questions from
State Treasurer George , holding that
ilthough state banks are not re-
luired to furnish depository bonds for
he security of public funds , that
here seems to be no way provided
or them taking down the bonds al-
eady deposited with the state treas-
irer and that these surety bonds will
herefore continue in force until e-
liration.
