TODK EVERYTHING HE CCU.D COLLECT Ufllco Una Ant llecn ftu-clceil U | Since . .Junenuil It In m-lli-ACil the. Kill I HfCi'UitM Were Yesterday's developments ta the Whlttlescy case indicate that hu la a much heavier de faulter than was at flist anticipated , and that ho has been preparing for bis flight for a considerable length ot time. So far as can bo learned In Iho absence ot any defi nite Information from the Treasury depart ment his ofllco has not been checked up since the beginning of the govcrn-nent fiacal year , Juno 'M , While bis bondsmen hbpo that such Is not tbo case they have substantial roincos for tearing taat a largo part , if not all , of the government's money that has como Into his possessloa since then has been embezzled. W A. Maurer , the wholesale crockerymiin , Is the chief Importer In the city , and the amounts bo has paid tor Import dullcj are easily obtained. Within a period covering thico months from December 1 ho his paid Whlttlwcy scmeUlng over $2,000 , anl his bciidstncn fear now that this amount must bo added to the defalcation of Tluirs- uay.-vvhcn he misappropriated the entire pro ceeds of Maurcr's $2lt3 check. The fear has been greatly strengthened by he revelations that have bcc-n made slnco iunday concerning nls , cor.luct , which tliou hat ho was cngaiod ; for several wcelua pas-t n a deliberate and well Icld plan to rob the government and leave the country. Ovi Mon- ay morn Ing he took one ot his friends Into its cculldenco and shc-wcJ him a wallet vhlcli ho said contained $1,000. The friend aw six $100 bills and \Vhlttluscy volunteered he Information that the remainder , which \aa In bills of various denomha- lens , contained $400 more. There vas no occasion for either the display ot this confidence In the friend or the showing of thla large amount of uoncy ariy farther than It was explained by the declaration of Whlttlesej that he was getting ready to leave the country. Tae on'.y request he made of this friend was that nothing should bo said about it. T.ic friend also iccalleJ itho fact tint WLlttlescy made a similar declaration to him three weeks ago , accompciikd by the same admonition ; f silence. Ho said at the time that he was n deep trouble and eaw no means of getting out of It. It.HH HH BACKED HIS FIHI3NDS. A strong effort was made jcsterday to earn as much as pccalble about the habits f the young man during the laat fc.v nonths These Investigations have devol ved the fact that Whlttlcsey has squandered arge > utims of money at the gaming1 table. Ic did not play himself , but backed his > 'ctlgcd friends mast generously.

On numerous occasions recently he has been away from ils home for a day acd a night at a time , and It Is presumed tint upon theco expedi- lens hejlberally supplied the men who wore vlth him with funds that went the same vuy. The exact amount of Wblttlesey's shortage vlll not bo known until today , when J. J. Crowey ! , the special agent of the Treasury lepartment , will arrive here from Chicago. Vhen Postmaster Bowman learned ca Sun- Bay night that Whlttlcsey had actually fled IB promptly wired the treasury officials and ; oagrcsman Hager , acquainting them with lie facts A mecsage was also sent at the amo time to Mr. Crow-ley for the same pur- lose. Telegrams were received yesterday rom Congressman Hager and the Treasury epartmcnt In W ishlngtcci announcing that ho case had been turned over to Crowlcy vlth full Instructions. The baadsmcn get vhat comfort there Is possible from the ague hope that Whlttlesey's defalcation \111 not exceed tbo amount of Maurer's last heck , but when they learned positively that 10 had largo suma on li's persoa as early aa Monday the hops afforded chilly comfort. They are prepared now to pay the full mount ot their bond , $5,000. The whereabouts of WhltUesey le the next question of Importance that IB being consid ered. It has been learned dcflnlteiy that he vent south and Is supposed1 now to be either ni concealment Id Kan is City or Is eafe In Mexico , A month ago bo vas talking to hla friends about going to Mexico , arad at the time , If s now recalled , he evinced considerable in terest la tbo opinion that If a defaulter suc ceeded In getting Into Mexico ho could escape - capo the consequeaces of his crime by Im mediately declarlc'g ' his Intention to become a citizen , and be remarked that if he ever got nto trouble be would get into Mexico ao < l make the citizenship declaration at the ear- lee > t possible moment. RELATIVES IN KANSAS CITY. Whlttlescy has an aunt and a brother llv- ng In Kansas City and numerous female 'rlends ' who formerly lived hero. The Brother. E. C. Whlttlcsey , Is an agent of the American Express company , whoso run akes him to ffio Mexican border. A letter vas received from a Miss McClelland of Kaii- Bco City during the early part of last week , a part of which Whittles/ showed to some of his friends , with the remark that ho guessed that bo would have to go and sec lier. Scores of portraits of Whlttlescy were sent to Kansas City and southern points last night , followed by an officer , who took ono of the night trains. The officers believe Whlttlcsey is still concealed In Kansas City. The fact that Whlttlcsey went south Is sub stantiated by tbo report of the conductor on whoso train 1m rode and who carried him aa far as St. Jostyb. Wblttlescy was In com- rany with Sherman , better known as "Shorty" Norton , a painter. The bondsmen are confident that Whlttlesey has sent to his wife a considerable sum of money. One ot the largo exprms envelopes nccurcd at the express office when Whlttlessy made a pretense - tense of sending the government money to the subtreasury at Chicago-was returned here on Saturday. It bad been mailed on the Kansas City train and was addressed to a uprsoaal friend of Whlttlcsey. Inside was a note and a sealed envelope. The note re quested the friend to take the envelope to Mrs. Whlttlcficy. Ho did HO and tays that ho siw money In tbo envelope when It was opened. Investigations last evening Indicated that Wblttlcsoy could bavo kept all of the money that came Into his pobscsilon since July 1 by reporting to the Treasury department that the goods consigned to Importers hero bad not been taken out of bond. Goods In bond can remain In airs on track for any Indefinite period. The deception would not bo known to the department unions acci dentally revealed or discovered by an lu- Bncctor passing through. So far as can be ascertained now no Inspector has been here fc-lnco July 1 , Tbo bondsmen believe that Mrs. Whittle- Bey received a considerable sum of money In the letter that was sent by her Imubanl vvhl'o enroute south on Friday and an effort will liu made to Induce her ta give It up. Mrs. A. T. Whlttlt'sey , tbo aged mother of the young man. was reported last night to be com pletely prostrated and In a serious condition. Shorty Norton , who accompanied Wbltfe- fey Friday , returned yesterday anl ( la B top ping at the Whlttlesey home. IIIHIIIID VOIIIIUT Farmer. The commissioners for the Insane bad Sheridan Bond before them for Investiga tion yesterday. Bond Is a young farmer from Hockrord township who has shown signs of being mentally unbalanced for some time. Uecently bin condition became such as to necessitate Iptcrferenco and1 restraint. Tbo testimony showed that tie bad -worked very bard durloc the fall and busked and cribbed over 3,000 bUBhcla ot corn. Ho objected very much to tbo examination made by the com- rnUsloner * , nn < l when It was found necessary to consign him to Clartnda for treatment , ho refused to accede to the arrangement. Ho developed such extraordinary strength that It rcqulreJ several of the strongest mem bers of the sheriff's force to conduct him from the court house to the county jail , where ho will bo kept until taken to Clarln- da today , CIIIMI.VAL CASKS AIH1 TAKI'.V UI * .

The day ycslerdiy was taken up with the trial of the case of the state against H. 0. Pence , a young farm tiand whoso home Is In Crcston , and who is accused of robbing a fellow furm hand ot a bag ot gold that he had been boarding. The case waa tried last term and resulted In a disagreement on the part of the jury. Pence was on the stand nearly all day jestcrday , nnd tcld n long nnd very circumspect story ot the manner In which ho acquired ths gold which was found In Mi possession when tie was arrested. The testimony for the state shone. ] that Ptoce had asked permission 'togo ' Into the roam occupied by his fellow farm laborer and use ' his shaving cutflt. The money was concealed I In a trunk. When the owner went Into his i room shortly after Pcnco left It the trunk I bad been brolveii cpen and the money. amounting to $300 , taken. Pence was not ' seen -around tlie place during the remainder 1 of tbo SunJay that this took place , but ro- I turned that evening. Ho was naturally sils- | pcctcd ot the theft and willingly submitted to ibo.vo his biggage searched. A day or two afterward the farm hand BIW Pence como from beneath a sir-all bridge In the i vicinity and ride away en a new blcjcle. The man went to the locality and found a fresh excavation vvhcro something Jiad evidently been burled nnd unearthed. Ho pro cured a horse nnd rode rapidly to town after Pence The Incident occurred nftcr supp'r , nnd the man reached the city early In the night. He acquainted Mo olllcers with his suspicions nnd a visit was made to several of the hotels. Pcnco was foun ! to have registered at one of them uuler his rlg'M ' mine , but had paid bis bill cad loft. He was found at another betel registered under another name. Nearly all the money was found In his pas-session , stuffed Into a belt that proved Ho bo made from the razor strop belonging to bis fellow workman. Pence claimed that no had , brought tbo money with him from his hcmo i In Creston end had hurled It under the bridge 1 for site keeping. Ho had spent $60 of It for ! a now blcjclc. Numerous witnesses , 'Includ- , Ing bis father from Creston. are on hand I to corroborate ! his story that be was tne owner of a nice little pot of gold which I iio was In the habit of carrjlng arouad with , him.

KEOKUK , In. , Dec. 13 ( Special. ) The funeral ot the late Orion Clemens was held In Hannibal , Mo. , today after short services In this city , where he died , and where ho had made his homo m'any ' jears. Mark Twain , who is in Vlcnca , was not able to be at the funeral. Mr. Clemens was 72 years , old , but looked much jounger. Ho was born In Gains , borough , Tcnn. , and at the ago of 11 jearf moved to Hannibal , Mo. , with his parents. Ho was but a boy whom ho went to St. Louis and lesirn > cd the pr'riter's ' trade and after- WCTds returned to Hannibal and purchased the Hannibal Journal , and It was on this paper that his brother Samuel learned the printer's trade. Disposing of his newspaper Interests In Hm&'bal ' about 1853 , he went to Muscatlne , la. , and there engaged In the publication of the Muscatlne Jou mil. This ho coatlnucdi until 1855 , In which year ho came to Keokuk. Ho bought out the In terest of R. B. Ogdea In the firm composed of the latter and J. W. Delaplalne , which was running the Ben Franklin printing of fice. He afterward purchased Mr. Dela- plalno's interest. From this offlce emanated the first directory of Keokuk. In th'o dlrect- tory is found the name "Clemens , Orion , book and Job printer , 52 Main , thltd story : residence B. s. Tlmca , between Seventh and Eighth. " His brother Samuel was working for him at that time and his name appears : "Clemens , Samuel L. , Antiquarian , 62 Main street , beards at Ivlns' house. " Mr. Clemens Issued another directory the next year. In the financial panic of 1857-58 , which was the collapse of Kcokuk's great boom , ho suffered financial reverses and gave up his printing business. After closing out his Interests hero Mr. Clemens went lo Tennessee to look after some lands there and It was there ho began the study of law.

AVOtlKX AS 4TATK I.I lilt \IU V > S. ProiioMil < o Appoint n Mnii OIOKOII | | | In Iimu. MARSHALLTOWN , la. , Dec. 13. ( Spe cial.A statement recently credited to Gov ernor-elect Shaw to the effect that be wilt rppolnt a man as state librarian to succeed Mrs. Cope , the present librarian , has aroused a great deal of oppcoltloii In the sVito , es pecially among the women who are banded together In clubs and societies. Mr. Shtvv has been known as a defender ot the women In the "Methodist conferences , whore ho lies been a delegate on several occ slons and the women are surprised that he should pronounce against women holding an oRlco that has long been filled by women , Mrs. C. P. Rogers , ono of the leading club women of the state. In a published letter , gives some ' history of the state llbrarlanshlp of Interest In this connection. She found on Investigation tion- that , early In September , 1871 , John C. Merrill , the state librarian , died and Gov ernor Merrill appointed Mrs. Ada North to fill the vacancy. She entered upon the work on the 14th of September ntvl continued tn office under Governor Carpenter rnd the Joint governorship of Kirk wood and Ncw- i bold. She was removed by Governor Gear I after holding the olllce nearly seven > ears , to | mnko way for Mrs. Maxwell , but very soon | received the appointment ot librarian of the State university , which position alio held fourteen ycais , when , falling health moi'.e It j necessary for her to resign. Mrs. North ! made herself master of llbrury v\ork , nnd i her reputation was not confined to the state of Iowa. Her counsel nnd advice on library matters were prized In the meetings of the National Library association. Mrs. Maxwell entered upon the duties of the office early In 1S78 and her clllclcncy Is well attested by the length of time she continued to hold It. She was appointed by Governor Gear , con tinued by Governor Sherman and by Gov ernor Larrabce until the beginning of his second term , when Mrs. Miller vvae np pointed and entered upon her work May. 1888. Mrs. Maxwell hel'd the office ten jcars. Although Mrs. Miller was appointed by a republican governor she wiis retained In office by Governor Boles. Governor Jack son removed Mrs. Miller nnd gave th ? place to Mrs. Crelghton , whoso ability and effi ciency are highly commended by those who are acquainted with her work. Governor Drake removed Mrs , Crelqhton on May 1 , 1S9G , and placed Mrs. Cope in the position , whose term will expire on April 13. 1S9S. It will thus be seen that the olllce bus been filled by women for twenty years. The women of the state will make a strong pro test against the appointment ot a man. MISSES niji TO ii v cuvroAinus.
