' DG TS er TAT se ah 4 SS eae oes ce eR E sR mi a a STATE TREASURER. A Commission will Investigate the Office at Once. AStory to the Effect that Gov Francis Got the Tip in New York—Mr. Noland Formaily Sus- pended Yesterday. Jefferson City, Mo., Marcn 4.— Gov. Francis has formally suspend ed State Treasurer Noland from of- fice. At 5 o'clock this afternoon Mr. Noland entered the executive depart- ment and was notified of the Gover- nor’s action. He walked out of the building ang thereafter had nothing tosay. Telegrams were sent by Gov. Francis to all depositories of the State’s funds throughout the state, advising them that he had taken charge of the Treasury and that they should govern themselves accordingly. Immediately there after the old capitol building was deserted of its habitues and the long agony of suspense was partially relieved by the the fact that news of scme kind had at last been obtain ed from official sources. To The Republic correspondent Gov. Fran cis said: “The situation is just this: My investigation into the affairs of the Treasury Department has not been completed, but in course o! the examination I have found some irregularities on account of which and also on account of the wide- spread rumor affecting that depart ment, I have thought best to sus pend Mr. Noland from office. In fact, the law is manditory, and J have no other recourse. The law provides that the treasurer and au- ditor shall make certain reports monthly to the governor, setting forth certain facts showing the con dition of the treasury.” “Do I understand,” said The Re public correspondent, “that you have found a deficiency of any kind in Mr. Noland’s conduct of the Treas ury Department.” “What I said,” replied the Gover- nor, “was that I had found certain irregularities, but the nature and character of these irregularities I cannot now state. I have gone suf- ficiently far in my investigations in- to the treasury department to en- able me to say that if there be a de- ficit it is a small one.” “What will be the next step in the proceedings?” “It now devolves upon the Gov- ernor to have quo warranto proceed ings instituted against the Treasur- er by the Attorney-General and to provide proof sufficient for a judg- ment of ouster.” “What if the proof is insufficient?’ “That isa question for the court to decide.” “Is there any way by which the Treasurer can be restored pending the action of the Supreme Court?” “No, he could not even resign, though I have no information that he contemplated such astep The quo warranto proceedings are now mandatory on my part. The Supreme Court will be in session next Mon- day, and I suppose the matter will be presented to the court at that time.” Treasurer Noland was found at the Madison hotel in consultation with anumber of his friends. He declared that he had nothing to say or to be interviewed, merely saying that the issue was now one for de- termination by the courts, and that pending the investigation and trial there was nothing he desired to give to the press. It is evident that Mr. Noland has a great deal of cour- age and recuperative powers, for during the past week he has main- tained himself with wonderful com- posure and appears entirely confi- dent of vindication. Ben Butler's historic cock eye is a thing of the past. The surgeon's knife has worked a wonderful trans- formation. Contumption 1s on the Increase. From 1ecent statistics it appears that consumption is on the increase through- out the western states. The principal cause, itis stated, is due to neglect ot common Coughs and Colds. It is the duty of all persons whether ot delicate or robust health, to haye e remedy at hand at ali times in readiness, anda cough crcold may be broken up betore it becom:s seated.

Junius Henri Browne in the Arena. The churches of the advanced order have recently permitted Jeho- vah to remain in the background and have discreetly brought for- ward Jesus—no two beings could be more antipodal—as their Deity and Examplar. His life, as record- ed in the New Testament, whether he be regarded as aman or God— there is not the slightest probabihty that he ever claimed to be divine— is so grand and beautiful as to be a model for universal imitation. The advanced churches, fearing the repulsive effect of lessons drawn from the Old Testament, now incline mainly to the precepts of Jesus. While they are insisting on his gen- tleness, his goodness, his self-denial his unstinted passion, they seem to forget how inconsistent is their preaching and their practice. If Christ should return to the nine- teenth century world, and try to visit the fashionable churches of New York, Boston, or anyof the leading cities of the country, how would he be receiyed? Would he not be denied admission, in his plain garb, with his simple ways? The sleek sexton and his assistants would not consider him a gentleman —and he would not be such, as they apprehend the term. They would be afraid to show him a pew, even if they should pitty his pale, pensive face, and wearied air. He would form a strange contrast with the elaborately carved wood work, the decorated ceilings, the stained-glass windows of the sumptuous interior. Those churches would be no place for him, and he would recognize the fact at once. Indeed he would not go there. He was the first demo- crat; he would seek the poorest quarter of the town, and address himself to the common people. He would incur the great risk of arrest asa tramp; but he who had been crucified would come prepared for rejection and revilement. He would not be put to death agein—thanks to the growth of hu- manity, in spite of theology—but in his incognito he would tind the world remarkably unappreciative, if not inimical. It is to be feared that he would be forced to find shelter with the infidels and atheists so des- ignated. Orthodoxy and Jesus are irreconcilably dissentient, even at tke present day; and yet the self complacent orthodoxist are convine- ed that their correlation is complete. Drunkenness or the Liquor Habi Positively Cured by administering Dr. Haines’ Golden Specific. It can be given in a cup of coffee or tea withovt the knowledge ot the person tak- ingit; is absolutely harmless and wih ettect a permanent and speedy cure, whether the patient is a moderate drink- er or an alcoholic wreck. Thousands of drunkards have been made temperate men who have taken Golden Specific in their coffee without their knowledge, and to-day believe they quit drinking ot their own free will. It never fails. The sys: tem once impregnated with the Speciftc it becomes an utter impossibility tor the liquor appetite to exist. For tull partic ulars, address GOLDEN SPECIFIC CO., 185 Race st.

Speaking of great estates, Com- modore Vandervilt was about the last rich man ot his day who would have been suspected by the ordin- ary observer of an ambition to hand down an empire of wealth from eldest son to eldest son after the fashion of the British nobility. Yet that such was his desire was made plainly evident in the contest over his will, which the writer reported. “Daughters do not hand down the name,” was the remark with which he was said to have dismissed the claims of those as near to him by every tie as his sons. His will vir- tually cut off his daughters with a few hundred thousand dollars apiece | and made William H. Vandervilt, next to John Jaeob Astor, the rich-| est man in America.

New York, March 5.—Late on Monday night a score of persons of both sexes were seated in the rear Thirty-first street and Sixth avenue. In one corner was a fashionably at- tired man of medium size. He was quietly conversing with two women companions. Sporting men and others were scattered about the room. Just before the hour for closing the saloon John L. Sullivan entered. He was maudling drunk. His hair was disheveled and his battered silk hat was pushed back on his head. The champion at once began to amuse himself at the expense of those present. He hada slap for this one, a mild punch for that, a playful dig in the ribs for the next one, and would fall over another, accompanying his antics by insult- ing language. The greatest deference was shown to the great pugilist, his victims ap- parently feeliag honored tobe struck by so eminent a person. Sometimes he would vary his performances by knocking oft a hat and pressing his hands over some one’s face. He observed that the young man and his companions were taking no no- tice of him and became angered. He made several uncomplimentary remarks about him, but the young man paid no attention. Suddenly Sullivan jumped to his feet, knocked over the table as he got up, and exclaimed: “I am John L. Sullivan, and I can whip any man in the world.” Every one laughed including the young man. When the champion saw him laugh he went over to his table and seated himself next to him. The young man turned his back to Sullivan and the champion became furious and exclaimed ina loud voice: “Do you know whol am?” “No,” returned the young man, “I don’t know who you are or want to know.” “Well, I am Sullivan, kill you with one blow.” The young man replied that he did not care who he was and that he would not allow Sullivan or any- other man to insult him. The spectators were amazed at the young man’s fiery action. When Sullivan heard this he jumped to his feetasif to frighten the young man, but before he could put up his hands the young man was on his feet. Straightening himself he let go his right fist with terrible force and it landed on the champ- ion’s mouth with telling effect. Sul- livan reeled, staggered and, falling over two chairs, sprawled upon the floor. After a few moments everything was in the greatest confusion. The young man was discrete enough to take flight at once. Sullivan was very ugly and his friends had difficulty in preventing him from revenging himself upon innocent bystanders. At length he became quiet and was taken out of the saloon. Nobody knew the plucky stranger and I can A Wonderful Cure.
