For tlio First Tlmo in Sixty Years
They Will no Examined.
WASHINGTON' , April 13. [ Special to TUB
BEII.J For the llrst tlmo In nearly sixty
years all the locks In the treasury depart
ment nro to bo examined by a commission ,
which has Just been appointed for the pur
pose by Secretary Poster. The report of
this commission , when made , will bo interest
ing reading. Some of the o'd ' keys which
hang iif the oQlcoof the foreman of the
watch force look ns though they might have
been in nso since the erection of the treasury
building. They nro old-fashioned , ponderous
and heavy and look out of place iu a modern
institution. Of course thn vaults themselves ,
in which the enormous stack of gold nnd
silver nro stored , are protected with the most
approved appliances lu the way of time-
locks , and besides this they are guarded
by armed men every night , as'well as every
hour in the day , and it would maku very little -
tlo dllfcrenco to the safety of the public
funds If the doors leading to the vaults were
protected with nil t'io most complicated me
chanical devices for keeping out the prowler
with burglarious tondcnpics. Still It is
thought that the tlmo has arrived when some
other method mfght safely bo adopted for the
protection of the treasury doors than that ,
which thu bnstillan lock of the last century
furnishes.
Ono of the things which strikes the for
eign visitor us strange , when ho passes bv
the treasury building at night is the appar
ent indifference us to safety for the wealth of
the nation which1 seems to pcrvndo
the atmosphcro _ in the neighborhood

DBS MOINRO. In. , April 12. ( Special to Tin :
Ui'.u. | Attention has once more been at
tracted to the defunct prohibition nmcnd-
inent supposed to have been adopted by the
majority of the people of Iowa nlno years
ago. Some tlmo ago , as was noted In these
dispatches , the state temperance alliance ,
through Its president , filed n jwlltton In the
district court for u mandamus to compel the
secretary nf state to furnish said provident n
certified copy of the constitution of the stnto
with snld amendment ns a part thereof , viz :
Section CO of article 1. It was soon found
that the first petition was n great blunder
and would not accomplish the deslrud object ,
which was toopon thoquostion of the validity
of the amendment nud hnvo It again passed
upon by the supreme court , with the posslblo
result of fastening It upon the people
at n tlmo when it Is exceedingly
doubtful if a majority would bo In
favor of it. Hence , the past week
un amended nnd substitute petition was filed ,
whU'h , stripped of its verbiage , states that
ono J. A. Harvey has asked for a copy of the
constitution of the state with the amend
ments thereto ; that the secretary of stutu include -
cludo lu such certificate the amendment re
ferred to , and that plaintiff asks that ho bo
compelled to do so by appropriate order. By
this second petition the alliance proposes to
stand or full. Since IU presentation und
publication the opinions of n number of prom
inent lawyers have been obtained to the
clfcct that this petition would not onnblo the
prohibition amendment to bo opened
before the supreme court. Ono utter
noy gave it as his opinion that If
the nlllnnco attorneys really wish to re.ich
the supreme court they should commence' '
proceedings for doing something which is
forbidden in thu amendment in question nnd
permitted by the present law. Hundreds of
such coses could be found. The lower court
would undoubtedly hold that theic was no
cnuso for action because the supreme court
had annulled the amendment , nnd the case
would bo dismissed on demurrer. Kroin this
decision thu appeal could bo taken , mid thus
the constitutional question would oo directly
poked nt the upper court.
OF I'INSIONS. :
The recent order of the secretary of the in
terior dividing the mmslon officers of the
country into thrco groups and making the
times of payment dltlcrent in each group ,
will entail considerable extra work upon the
DCS Moines agency , which pays pensions for
the district comprised of the states of lown
and Nebraska. The chancru will make the
quarterly payments come n month later than
at present , or on the 4th of January , April ,
July and October. But the regular Juno 1
payment will have to bo made by the group
containing the DCS Moines agency , nnd then
another payment for ono month's duos on
July 4. The work of paying this
ono month will , of course , entail just
us much worn us if It were for
thrco mouths , and will bo just that much
moro than the regular work of the force.
Some extra clerk hire will likely bo allowed ,
but. the most of the work will have to bo done
by the present force during extra hours. It
was hoped the Juno payment would bo al
lowed to run over nnd four month's dues bo
paid July'4 , but the department decided that
.this would not bo fair to the dependent vet
erans , many of whom would doubtless suffer
much inconvenience by the delayed pay
ment. The DCS Moines ngcncy Is ono of the
most Important in the country , having on Its
rolls-at the end of March ! i."i.H3 ' pensioners , n
not Increase of 4 , 'J6 since March 31 a year
ago. During that time the additions by
original pensions , transfers und restorations
have been 5,077 , and the loss from deaths ,
transfers , unclaimed , dropped and remarried
have been 1,110. The increase under the de
pendent pension act of Juno 27,1600 , has been

The remains of the Into Colonel P. G. Bal-

All the arrangements have been made and it
is probable it will bo ouo of the most elabor
ate occasions of the kind ever bold iu

twenty-five of the senatorial colleagues of
the lulu colonel , stating that they will

egation of the Hotel Keepers' association wil

The death of n Union Pacific engineer in
Nebraska recently brings to light un Interest
ing story , the heroine being a resident of
Albla , la. , bui her name not being given. In
the seven ! storm of the inst day of March
Engineer ] John G. Hoberts of the Union
Pacific was ordered to take his train out In
a blinding storm. Through the carelessness
of n dispatcher his engine crashed into n
freight train nnd ho was killed He loft u
will and this document reveals the romance.
The dead engineer's sweetheart is the legatee.
She Is accomplished and u favorite In Albia
society. A year or moro ago Kngmeor
Roberts , after ajierlodof friendly corroipond-
ouco with the young lady , mot her ut the
homo of her brother at Lincoln ,
Nob. Koborts became much Infnt-
uuted with her , but us there wns some
disparity In their ngos , she did not offer him
much encouragement. They parted as
friends , and the engineer assisted the brother
to a marked promotion In thornllwav service.
Later nn accident occurred in which Roberts
wns badly mangled in u wreck und his life
despaired of. The young lady , iu company
witn her .sister , hastened to his bed
side In Nebraska and nursed him back
to life. As soon us ho wns con
valescent she took him to her homo
at Albia , where he remained us < her ward
until ho had fully recovered , During his ill
ness thoro. ho executed n will in the young
womnnM favor nnd deeded her n house and
lot in Lincoln , Nob. , nnd mudo her thn b no-
llclnry of nn & ,000 Ufa insurance policy in ttiu
event of his death. When he und recovered
ho returned to his etiRlne , and remained in
tbo aorvlco until his recent death. Ho had
previously requested that ho bo burled nt
Albia In ca.su of lib death , und immedi
ately on hearing of his trugio end the
fattier of tils sweetheart hastened to Nebraska
to bring homo the remains for interment ,
Judcit of his inirprho , when on arriving ho
found nn alleged undiverted wife , who
claimed the body ami took It toVust Vir
ginia for burial. Tbu deceased was wealthy ,
aud it is rumored that there are suvoral
heirs , who will contest the validity of the
will , which Is now advertised lu the Albln
papers for hearli.g nnd proof on the ' . ' 7th of
the present month. A legal dispute
Is Inevitable , nnd tlio case promises to
bo sensational The young lady's standIng -
Ing In the community , nnd the universal
esteem of both herself nud family biiulshos
nil suspicion that Mio or nny of her relatives
or friends had nny knowledge of the rumored
report , that Hoberts hnd un undlvorccd wife.
It does not appear that she oncouniKod Ins

An Interesting case came before the stnto
board of health the past week from East
Nodnway , Adams county. Some tlmo last
January n dog supposed to bo rabid wns rtin-
nlng ubotit in that vicinity , was pursued und
finally killed , but not until ho had bitten u
hog nnd had n light with another dog , which
ho Is supposed to hnvo bitten. The owuer of
the latter dog kept It chained for nlno dnys ,
claiming that was sufficient to show whether
or not ho was infected with rabies. The
neighbors objected to his running at largo
and demanded his death , which the owner
refused. The people nro somowhut excited

"WAsmwroN , April 12. ( Special to TUB
BKK.J When there Is any little sum of
money to bo made out of visitors by the pho
tographic process there are always several
men who want a slice of the proceeds. It is
owing to this avaricious disposition that the
scene wns enacted In front of the patent
olllco on Thursday. The incident , while
highly amusing to some , was mortifying to
those who bad charge of tbo arrangements.
It appears that u photographer named Brady
secured the contract to photograph tbo mem
bers of the Inventors' Centennial associa
tion , and he had made elaborate preparations
for tuo event. There are nearlv
live hundred members , nnd as ench
one. would In nil probability purchase
u picture it meant a snug llttlo sum for
Brady. At 1 o'clock on Thursday afternoon
the inventors assembled on the steps lending
to the entrance on the south front. Besides
the members there were Secretary Noble
und all the chiefs of his divisions. They
packed themselves ns closely together as the
space would permit when Brady nnd his
camera arrived. The deadly instrument , wns
planted in the street directly opposite the
stops , a sure ulni taken und the cover ail-
justed without the usual warning to look at
the llttlo bird. The result wns most satis
factory. The next part of tbo program/no
wns a picture of the men with their hats off
aud nil the preliminaries for this triumph of
nrt had been arranged when an unlocked for
diversion occurred. A photographer named
Prince drove up in a wagon and unloaded his
camera directly in front of Brady's ' instru
ment. ' Nothing could induce him to move
on und ho quietly superintended the un
loading of his effects despite the protests of
Brady. Ho adjusted his machine alongside
of Brady's mid prepared to help himself.
The crowd on the stops were srrowlni : impn-
tlont In the meantime. They had posed time
and again. Some were leaning in graceful
cai'elossness nuninst tlio big pillars while
others , shorter than their friends , craned
their nock-s in order to have their faces ap
pear aloniz witn the rest. These who parted
their hair in the center carefully balanced
their bangs nnd smoothed them out with the
greatest precision. Time was flying , but
still Prince held the fort. After ho had got
his machine into position ho gave the word
aud the wngon drove off. This looked llko n
cessation of hostilities and the crowd of In
ventors , restored to good humor , put on their
Sundry smile nnd prepared to bo "took" .
It was a false hope , however.
Prince wns not satisfied with pot-
tiiiK his fair share of the occasion , but
ho felt that It all belonged to him. There
wns n hurried whisper between him and his !
faithful gannymedo nnd then the latter
stepped out in front of the nozzle of Brady's
machine. The notion was so palpably unfair
that the inventors forgot to pose nud gave
vent ton prolonged howl of indignation.
This did not dlstuib Prince. Ho wont right
along with his business nnd while Brady
was arguing with his colored mnu Prince
was focusing the inventors , Ho got two
good plates and would have gotten moro , but
Secretary Noble took a hand In thu matter ,
and the result was that in n few moments n
patrol wagon dashed nround the corner nnd
half a dozen policemen jumped to the ground.
In the midst of the excitement Prince quietly
folded up his tent and silently stole away.
The incident so unnerved the inventors that
they refused to pose nny moro and Prince
was the solo beneficiary of the occasion.
Brady had his mad up , however , and ho hnd
Price arrested. The latter left .MO.OO at the
pollco stntlon and departed to develop the
plates which ho had won.
