An inve ation will show where the looting occurred. In 1866 the stateschool fund amounted school to $661,967.96 in state bank stock and $20,000 in Pacific railway bonds. Inthat year Josiah Fog asagent of the state, sold this Bank stock to James B. for $718,- 235.25. James B. Eads paid 8% per ent premium for this stock, but paid for it in matured coupons and state bonds, which at that time were worth 70 cents. It is easily seen at what discount he got them. These state bonds received from Eads were tanceled and put in the state treas- try vaults with a memorandum at- tached stating what they were and how they had been canceled. In 1870 the question came up as towho was entitled to the dividends arising out of these shares of stock. Attorney General Wingate then in- stituted suit for the dividends. An agreed statement of facts between the attorneys was that the state of Missouri had received this amount ofmoney from Eads. The court de- } cided that the sale to, Eads was not valid, but at the same time the state bonds received from him were lying inthe treasury vaults, canceled, and had been there since 1866. This was discovered in 1870 and an act was Passed by the legislature next con- Yening providing that the state audi- for, as agent, should sell the bank J} Sock to Eads upon the terms of the FMginal contract, and to authorize J ttestate auditor to receive in pay- | Ment therefor the treasurer’s receipt to Eads for the bonds heretofore paid in by him” “The quotations are from State ‘fAtditor Draper’s report and show that the whole transaction had been Pade with Eads four years before | {ad the bonds were lying in the : Yaults canceled.

He was taken with indigestion when he was a year and a half old, and he was under the doctor’s treatment for five long y We spent all we made for doctor’s and it did no good.

Carterville, I., Oct. 12.—A new confidence game was worked on the bank and merchants of Herrin, mining town four miles north of here, on Wednesday, when three smooth individuals arrived there in quest of |John Swatzel!, a well-known coal miner.
