He admitted he had raised the bill f John Anthes from $15 %0 to $25 %0 for work performed for the estate, but said he had done so merely as a memorandum | and because he had expended $10 addi- tional for the estate. King sald Anthes | had done paperhanging to the extent of | $15 9, and afterward plastering had been | done by another party amounting to $10. He had no voucher for the latter charge nd added the $10 to Anthes’ bill in order to make it a charge against the estate. King also admitted he had ralsed two bills from Hobson & Co. for clothing. from $7 50 to $17 50 and from $3 50 to $4 50 for the same reason. When he was questioned In regard to his past life he broke down and cried.

VeIt WAS RECOGNIZED NEAR TOKAH —_— RIGHT-HAND MAN OF THE LATE KHALIFA ABDULLAH. LT S 2 Famous General Only an Arab by Adoption, as Both His Parents Were French and He Was Born in France. ——— CAIRO, Jan. 19—News was received here to-night that Osman Digna, principal general of the late Khalifa Abdullah, has been captured. It has been known that he was once i1 the neighborhood of Tokah six days ago and several expeditions were organizea from Suakim, under Captain Burgess, with the result that Osman Digna was taken unhurt in the hills yvesterday. He will arrive at Suakim to-morrow. Osman Digna, the rebel leader, who dur- ing the last ten years has kept the Eng- lish troops at bay around Suakim, caus- ing an immense expenditure of British blood and treasure, is a renegade French- man, a native of Rouen. The authentlcity of this strange story is vouched for by the famous African traveler, Dr. Schweln- furth, by Dr. Felkin and by several. other equally renowned authorities on questions relating to the Soudan. Osman Digna was born on the banks of the Seine in 183, and was christened at the cathedral at Rouen under the name of George. When about 11 years old his father, a certain Joseph Nesbit, falled in business and betook him- self with his wite and child to Egypt, where he died a short time afterward, His widow, who found herself almost penniless, contracted a few months later a marrfage with a well-known Mahamme- dan merchant of Alexandria, Osman Dig- na by nam Having no children of his own he L me exceedingly fond of young SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 1900 WIFE OF AN CHAPLAI ARMY N IN PRISON SENATE PASSES PENSION BILL Occasion for Attacks on the Commissioner.

As a result of the lat- closures ider was put upon the bill by unanimous consent, empowering the Commissioner, in his discretio withhold the fees of attorneys of r in pension cases where he was satisfied that the attorneys had not prepared the cases under their personal supervision Mr. Barney of Wisconsin, who was In charge of the pension bill, made a gen- eral statement of its contents. He said the Commissioner of Pensions estimated that the amount for pensions during the coming vear wo largely decrease, but, owing to the | ix of claims on account of the Spanish war, he did not deem it wise to reduce the appropriation this year. There were 25,000 Spanish war claims pending. The Commissioner thought five or six millions would cover them. — e ADVERTISEMENTS. FOR DOUBTERS. Easy to Investigate This. Mr. J. T.

Only a few people have any conception of the work done at the local recrufting station. They see the names of several recruits published In the papers, but rare- ly think of the aggregate. Almost every one is familiar with the fact that in the war with Spain Kentucky furnished four regiments. Yet scarcely any know that in addition to this Kentucky furnished another army, almost as large, which was composed exclusively of regulars. During the war the Louisville recruiting station alone enlisted 1168 recruits, and it is ally conceded that the State outside Louisviile furnished two-thirds of the recruits enlisted in the State of Kentucky These figures show that in addition to the four regiments of volunteers Kentucky also furnished recruits enough In the reg- ular army to fill three more regiments.
