L. Laflesh and J. J. Shepherd, had their hearing before Justice Field yes- terday. The testimony showed that tho two were partners working the littie pad- lock scheme. Shepherd took the role of the verdant stranger, who was auxious to bet any amount of money that he could open the mysterious padloek exhibited by Laflesh. Laflesh waus always willing to bet but unfortunately had no means except draft, which he was willing to put up as sccurity, it the saloon man would lend him the money necessary to make the bot and capture the vemdant's money. The gamo was tried in several Main streot saloons but no one bit, and tho pair of sharpers found themsclves suddeuly tumbled into a patrol wagon and headed for the station. On the way there Shepherd crumpled up and dropped a draft for §1,600, and his partuer in like manner tried to' get rid of the littie padlock, These evidences of the business were picked up by the police, howover, and the fellows had to face them in court. Evidences of Thelr Occupntion, On Laflesh was found a £500 draft, which was made out on the same sort of a blank. and In the samo handwriting, and in fav sume party, J. M. Beck, as the §1,500 draft which Shepherd had tried to eet out of the way. It took a good deal of tall swear- ing for'the two fellows to cxplain themselves. Shepliord claimed that he had fallen in with Laflesh by chance at Sioux City. having had a slight acquaintance only with him before in Chicago, where Laflesh, or *Silver,” as ho called him, had worked in a Clark street auction house. Shepherd was bound for Arkansas City, Kan., and Lafiesh concluded to ko along, provided that Shepherd would wait a few duys until he could realize on check for €500 which he had won gambling with a man named Beck i Sioux City. Shepherd was in 4 hurey to go on his way to Kansas Latiesh nrofessed to bolong to of Trainmen, being an old railway man, and that by reason of this he could get free vides and take a partner with him.Shepherd there- upon proposed to furnish grub . if L flesh would furnish transportation, and the two under this arrangement came to Council Bluffs. While waiting here for a in to take them further on their way they 1t into two or three saloons to iments. In two of them Laflesh showed these little padlocks, in both cases pulling them out of his pocket aceidentally with the Order some chango, und as they attracted the at- tention of the bartender in cach case he ex- plained frankly that oneof the padlocks vould not open, for some reason, but that the other woula,' Iu one place the bartender wanted to bet Shephierd, but the latter re- fused. Claimed They Wero Strictly Honest. Beyond some little details like these both men denied that they were trying to work any game, and denied, too, that they had d'to m with "the padlocks or fts. Neither of thew had ever scen the $1.500 draft, Laflesh said that in rezara to the padlock that he did not know it was in his hand anad that if it was he must have dropped it out of the wagon in sheer nervousness as he put his hand up over the rail. "The precious pair were bound over to the grand jury in the sum of $300 each, and in default of bail were taken to jail. There scems little doubt but that they ave quite slick, but their play in Council Bluffs was very unfortunate, possibly because they took # fow too many early drinks before staying their stomachs against prohibition whisky by a substantial breakfast, STILL A DEEP MYSTERY, ot & Has Yet Been Heard from the Mlssing Watson. The search was being kept up vigorously yesterday for some solution of the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Watson, the traveling man, at Silver City, As usual, Just as soon as tho occurrence of such an event becomes generally known there sprung up thrifty crop of clews and singular cir- cumstances, each of which, in the mind of the excited zarrator, 1s the all_important one for speedy investigation. One of the most singular of these was one which threw the little town of Mineola into a state of ex- citement almost equal to that tingling th nerves of its near neighbor, Silver City, As the story goes, a saloon man at Mineols went to ono of his outbuildings Jate Monday night and surprised b the form of & man crouched in one corner As he str 4 watch to enable him to sce more clearly who was there, the un- known jumped and ran. but not before the saloomist had noticed that he was hatless, contless and vestlcss. Ho excitedly gave the arm, told what he had seen, and soon hbors and citizens were vunning in all directions searching for him whom they supposed must be the missing Watson, T s saloonist’s story had its foree rather shaken by the discovery that the narrator did not get over his excitement, but it rather in- creased, until yesterdiy moruiog it was quite evident thiat_he was far off from a mental balauce, This has caused the cou- Jectures to be divided, as to whether the saloonist imagined he saw such a man as he describud, or whether he really did sce him and the shock caused him to lose b . The theory that Watson was assaulted in such a mautier as to leave him in o dazed condition, causing him to wander off, scems to be meetng with most favor, he absence of any traces of blood proves most puzzling, but the absence of any motives for him o voluntarily disappear is equally certain, BE NISON BROS, Speclnl for Wednesday, 50 dozen ladies' Jersoy ribbed vests, our regular 25¢ quality, We want to close them out, Entire lot today, 10c.

Hans Petersea had owed -him 4 bill that had passed the age of youthful indiscretion, turning the seven year period by soveral movths. The amount exceeded ®0, and Petersen always managed to keep his property in such shape that executions were harmless A few day ago Petersen went into 4 South Muin steoet saloon and ordered the driuks for some of his frienas. When he went to pay the bill hostepped mio a back room, pulled offt 4 stoe and sock and took out & rool of §140.

The people at the city jail were given a hint to search the prisoner’s stock ings and the 140 roll was brought to view and deposited in the strong box in the jailor's ofice. Before the trial was called the next morning Larsen garnished the mar. shal, got judgment in a_justice's court and collected his bill. Other creditors heard of the proceedings and followed suit. A little of the money is still left in the court's hands awaiting any other creditors who may happen to hear of the case, HIS IDEA OF A CELEBRATION, How F. Ryan, an Aged BlufMte, Observed Labor Da. F. Ryan, & grizly old patriarch of about ninety pounds weight and %0 years existence, was brought into the central police station yesterday afternoon in the patrol wagon at the instance of his wife and neighbors, He celebrated the recurronce of Labor day and only got into a condition to feel real young and frisky about 8 o'clock yesterday after- noon. Then the furniture of his humole domicile on Seventeenth avenue required his atterition. He procured an axe and devoted 4 perspiring hour to the reduction into kindling wood of every articlo suitable in the house. His old wife had to fly for her life, and when she got some of her neighbors to come to the rescuo of "her household goods there wasn't much loft, and nearly all of it was lying out in the yard. Not a single article that could succumb to the blows of the ax remained in existence. Deputy Marshal Anderson, who accompanied the wagon, de. scribed the wreck as being the most com- vlete he had ever seen outside of a dynamite explosion. The grizzled old sinner had to be picked up bodily and carried into the cell assigned him until this morning. The police say that it was the best dose of fighting whisky they have encountered for a long time. A few weanks ago Ryan had another jamboree and came near wrecking his home, and Oficer Leuch had to tie him up i his bie bandanna handkerchief and carry him to tho nearest patrol box. He was_ discharged that time upon giving Judge McGee many repentant promises, but he will probably be taken care of this time until his wife can rehabilitate the stricken home, Notice to encnors.

The little boy and girl, who are bright looking, intellizent children, evidently felt the peculiar situation in which they were placed, and showed they knew the im- portance of the proceedings. They gave their testimony in a simple, straightforward way, their childish voices sceming strangely omt of place in so serious a matter as the trial of a man for his life. And when the man was the one who had undertaken the duty of a father and who was accused of the awful erime of murdering their mother, the pity of the thing was impressed on ull who heard their evidence Clarence Erbeck, the 11-year-old son of the dead woman, was the first witness led. ~ He told of being at school on the aay his mother died. He returned in the evening and ate supper with the family After supper his mothor busied herselt par- ing tomatoes 10 make pickles. Just before sho went to bed she went to thie pantry and got some quinine capsules. They were in a covered box. His mother took two, and then asked Mavchor, “Shall 1 take the other onc!” Muwhor answered, “Do as you plonse.” She took the third one and then went to bed. In bout twenty minutes she woke up and led him and his sister. She kissed them goodby and said she was gong to dic. To Mawhor she said, “What was in_that qui nine. Lam afraid it is going to kill me, W ness went after Mrs. Harris, and Harris went for the doctor. 'His moth suid nothing abont the third capsule being litle one. "(This statement is i contradic- tion of what Mawhor told before the cor- ouer’s jury, when he said his wife spoke of the third capsule being a “Little one,") Favored His Steptath Cross examination develope the little boy was rather part aud when the court him in Sheriff Tate's the wishes of the lad. the fact tha 1 to Mawhor made the order placing hands it was aeainst He said Mawhor had promised his mother on her deathbed to take wood c: of the children. When Mawhor ted the boy ran away and stayed with George Mawhor, a brother of the defendant. Atte Pannie Erbeck, daughter of the de- sed wife, told in substance the same 18 her brothen concerning the evening prior to the mother's death. She sai that when her mother asked Mawhor it she should take the third cap- sule he replied: “Do as you please, It makes no difference to me. He re peated this remark, and then her mother took the capsule. Nothing was said about the third capsule being a small one. Fannie went to bed, but did wot go to sleep. She 1w Muwhor going o the kitchen after witer for her ‘motber, Then her mother alled the children to her bedside and kissed them'goodby. To Fannie's query as to what wits the matter she said, “I don't know. 1 believe I am going, to die.” She told the childreu to be good children. Then she said: »Lwish I had not taken those capsules. They are going to kid me.” Mawhor stood by and when his dying wife said this he only shook his head. Her mother's last words were to Mrs. I s: “Don’t rub my feet.” Her mother did nothing unusual .lluru]ux several days ‘immediately before her death, Knew of Her Mother's Insurande. On cross-examination it was developed that Mrs. Mawhor had told her daughter a few aays before her death that she had her life insured for £5,000. Witness also admit- ted thav Grandma Erbeck haa told her sho had better refer to the defendant as Mr. Mawhor and not as “Old Mawhor."” An argument was then precipitated ns to the admission of tho testimony of Mrs, inie Irbeck of Alton, 111, mother of the dead wowan, the defense contending that no notice of che state's intention in this respect had been served. The state contended that the production of the witness wwas notice sufticient. The objection was sustained.

President Cleveland Confors wit man Ontes Over n Measures WASHINGTON, Sept. You can say,” said Congressman Oates of Ala- bama as he left the white house after an interview witht the president on the subject of the proposed repeal of the state bank tax, “‘that while Iam not at liberty to relate my conversation with Mr. Cleveland, Icansay he is not op- posed to the repeal of the prohibitive tax.” This interview was considered of such importance that the president declined ongress- to receive Mr. Blount and several foreign ministers who cal at the time the interview was progressing. It is true that the admunistration is endeavoring to devise some plan by which the demands of the southern and western democracy for more currency can be satisfied, offect be given to the stato bank plank of the demo- cratic platform, and the schism which exists in the democratie party because of the advocacy of gold® monometallism by the president be healed. But it is also true that the project has not passed boeyond the stage of suggestion and that even in the preliminary consideration obstacles have been suggested which it seems difficult, if not impossible, to over- come, It is difMcult to sce how a law is to be framed which will save the benefits of the existing national banking act, cure some of its defects, maintain national supervision and safeguards, and yot re- move the barriers which now prevent free and unlimited state banking. The most intelligent statement of the plan said to be under consideration is the following: A reorganization of the national banking system under which national banks may be organized with a minimum capital ‘of $230,000, and with the privilege of issuing circulating notes to 2 per cent of their assets, but not to exceed the amount of their capital, The purpose of fixing the minimum cap- ital at $250,000 for national banks is to confine the large banks to commercinl centers, thus encouraging the establish- ment of state banks in the less populous sections of. the country. The security for the cireulating notés is to consist of 40 per cent of government bonds, 40 per cent of commercial paper and 20 per cent of coin. Instead of the existing tax of 1 per cent on cireulation, it is pro- posed that one-half of 1 per cent shull be imposed on 0 much of the cireula- tion s is sceured by government bonds and 1 per cent on the remainde In reference to state hanks, it is pro- posed that the law shall provide that in states which enact laws in harmony with the federal law state banks may obtain circulation notes upon the same terms as national banks. The states must re- quire that banks deposit with the proper state officer the same amount of state or municipal sceurities as is roquired for national banks, and that the cash and commereial paper shall be set apart in the same proportion as additional seeur- ity. Inaddition to these collaterais, the entire assets of banks, both national and state, are to be held to secure circulat- ing notes. State banks organized in the manner described are to be exempt from the | ment of the 10 per cent tux now imp on circulating notes of such banks, but they will be required to pay the same tax imposed upon the circulation of na- tional banks, which is, too, held for re- demption of the notes of failed and iiquidating banks. The notes of issue to state banks will be a series distinct from those issued to national banks. Both issues will be accepted by the gov- ernment in payment of all public dues, but will not have the full legal tender quality, Mr. Carlisle has for some time been thinking over the question of the coin- age of the silver bullion now in the treasury and is anxious that an author- tion for this coinage should be given by congress.
