Jefferson City, March 15.—The Walker investigating committee sub- mitted a report to-day and also the evidence taken during the investiga tion. The evidence is very volu- minous, making over 450 pages ot type-written copy. As indicated betore, the auditor is exonerated in a general way from all the charges, except his connection with a prison contract. On this the committee finds that he invested $5,000 in the Standard Shoe company, contrary to law, which offence is a telony. Concerning the branch penitenti- ary boodle fund, the committee as- certained that it consisted of about $3,500, to be used in securing the location of the branch penitentiary at Cape Girardeau and the purchase of a tract of land from Judge Louis Houck of that city; also, that this sum was to be paid Cel. J. R. Wil- lis to influence the auditor in secur- ing the location as indicatea above. The committee found that the audi- tor was not aware ot the existence ot such a tund. In regard to the charge that the auditor had required one of his clerks, Charles A. Pol- lack, to give him a part ot his salary as a consideration for holding the appointment, the committee found no evidence warranting a conviction. Mr. Pollock testified that the charge was true, and the auditor testified that it was not. Some circumstan- tial evidence ot an affirmative char- acter was obtained, but not sufficient, in the opinion of the committee, to make a good case. Another charge that the auditor asked James A. Turner to purchase for his (the auditor’s) nephew a gold watch worth some $75, on the consideration that the audiior vote tor him for Secretary of the State Board of Equalization, was also in vestigated. The auditor testihed that there was no truth whatever in the charge, and Mr. Turner testified that it was true. Here Sagan the committee found the afhrmative tes- timony imsufficient. The charge that the auditor offered to yote tor Gen. D. H. McIntire for State counsel in the Hannibal and St. Joseph railroad case on the con sideration that Gen. Mcintyre would purchase ‘a residence of the auditor, in Jefferson City at astipulated price, received considerable attention from the committee. ‘Ihey find that the auditor pressed the sale on General MclIntyre a little too hard, all things considered, but otherwise the charge 1s dismissed Envied by her Sex.

The following 1s one of the most brillant paragraphs ever writtea by the lamented George D. Prentice: “The fiat of death is inexorable. There 1s no appeal from the great law which dooms us to dust. We flourish and tade as the leaves of the forest, and the flowers that bloom, wither and fade in a day have no frailer hold on life than the mightiest monarch that ever shook the earth with footsteps. Generations of men will appear and disappear as the grass, and the multitudes that throng the world to-day will disappear as footsteps on the shore. Men seldom think of the great event of death until the shadow falls across their own pathway, hiding fiom their eyes the faces of loved ones whose hving smile was the sun-light of their exis- tence. Death is the antagonist of life, and the thought ot the tomb is the skeleton of all feats.
