grounds , nnd the republicans seriously fear
that McCrouo's ' IneliRlblllty will lese the
party the United fjtates scimtorshlp and re
sult In the election of General John M.
Palmer. The dlstrtctln which McCrono Is
elected ns the tmnrirlty representative is over
whelmingly democratic , so that If Ids' scat
should bo declared vacant there Is no doubt
of the democrats electing his successor.
The constitution of Illinois declares that a
member of the general assembly must bo a
bonn fldo citizen of the state for the continu
ous period of five years immediately preced
ing his election. The secretary of state ot
Kansas reiwrts that on March 0 , 1837 , Me-

In his application ho certified that ho was a

Thomas Uussell Is a good natured Scotch
man who lives at McCHntock , Pa. , but who
has been In Colorado forufaw months and
has saved tip a few hundred dollars as a re
sult of successful speculation out there.
Last Monday morales ; Mr. Hussell started
homo , and just before boarding the tr.ila at
Denver he w.ts approached by a mm who
said ho lived m Omutiti and w.xs on the way
homo from California with the remains of his
dead brother. Ho gave the nanio of Thomas
13. Howard , and said ha was a merchant In
this city. The journey from the Pacific coast
along with tlio remains of bis brother had
boon a sorrowful one , and now , us though thu
fates had some special grudge against him ,
Mr. Howard said , ho had run short of money
and oonld not pay the express charges on the
corpse from Denver to Omaha. Ho was
afraid ho should have to wait and telegrapher
or write for monov. Ho had a chock for ? H
on the Commercial National bank of Omaha
but ho had boon rushed so for time in making
connections that ho hurl not gotten the cheek
cashed. Nothing could bo more easily p.r
ranged , however , than for Mr. Ittmoll to ad
vance Mr. Howard $10 and hold the chock as
security until they should roach Omaltii. A
iiipntout later the kindheu' ted Hussell had
the check mid Howard had $10 in caMi with
ivhlch ho hurried away-to pay the oxpruj.s
cliarires on the corpse.
When the train had reached a small station
In the suburbs of Denver Mr. Husnell noticed
that Howard was not aboard and ho nogsii to
suspect that ho had been tho'victim of the
bunco man. He got oft the train , went b ick
to Donvbr and reported thn occurrence to the
police. Ho then came on to Omaha mid pre
sented the check at the bank. It was a bojjiis
chock , of course , and Mr. Uussell gave it to
Ofllrer Cook of the Omaha pollen force , hop
ing that , it may bo of some assistance In cap
turing tlio conlldonco man who made It out.
Mr. Hussell went on homeward , vowing
that ho would never bo taken in attain by the
man who needs money to pay express charges
on n corpse.
