During the circus procession this morn-

through a window in the rear of the house.
\fter getting on the inside they shivered
be doors, that had been locked, with iron
Immies, destroying them entirely and ne-
cessitating the putting in of new doors.
From the short time In which they had to
vork and from the systematic manner in
vhich they rifled the house it is plainly ap-
parent that the thieves were experienced

RECEIVER^ REPORT
Of tlie Condition of a Chicago r.ank - I,nrj;e
Discrepancies Apparent.
Chicago, 111., October 10.—[Special]—Re-
ceiver Smith's first report of the bank's
affairs was filed in the supreme court late
this afternoon. The receiver says that on
taking possession lie was furnished with a
trial balance purporting to have been taken
from the ledger of the bank, but there ap-
pears to be large discrepancies between
such a trial of the ledger balance and the
actual account which he is unable to account
for. The estimated statement of the
liabilities aud assets which the recoivcr
submits of tho liabilities and assets shows
an excess of the assets over the liabilities,
but nearly ¥500,000 of the bills receivable are
past due, many of them several years, and he
believes a large amount of the assets in ad-
dition totlio $300,000 of bills receivable are of
very doubtful value. The charter of tho
bank required it to lie managed by thirteen
trustees, but only three were elected, and
they were J. O. Rutter, Thomas P. Taliman
and Albort P. Smith.
As trustees or directors theso three gen-
tlemen elected themselves president, cashier
and asssistant cashier respectively about
ten years ago. The trustees thon passed
this resolution:
Resolved, that all matters connected with
the administration of the Traders1 bank bog
placed under the entire charge of the prcsi-'
dent and cashier. •
After that the trustees nover held another
meeting, and the bank had been run ever
since by Rutter tfnd Taliman.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
The receiver of tho Traders' bank made a
partial report to the court this morning.
The assets are shown to bo $901,680 and lia-
bilities $896,888, but a supplemented para-
graph says that this statement does not in-
clude $036,000 bills receivable and $45,000
checks, which bear the indorsement of the
bank and should go into its liabilities. Rut-
ter's indebtedness to the bank was shown to
bo $153 32, and among tho assets is a note for
$15,000, made by Cashier Taliman, and also
an overdraft for $18,000 against J. P. Mol-
arity, agent. For whom Moriarity was
agent does not appear. A number of strange
discrepancies were found in the accounts.
COLLECTING DIVORCE STATISTICS.
Work of One of tho Departments at Wash-
ington—The Object.
washington, October 16.—Two years ago
congress authorized the department of labor
to collect statistics of divorce in the United
States, and the work then undertaken is so
nearly completed that Commissioner
Wright hopes to lay his report before con-
gress early in January. The "field work"
has been finished and the figures are now
being tabulated. Commissioner Wright's
agents have obtained the figures from every
court in the United States having divorce
jurisdiction, of which there are about 2700,
and the period of investigation extends
back twenty years, from 1860 to 1886.
Everything relating to the sub-
ject will be given wherever it has
been possible to obtain information from
court records, and in every case the agents
not only examined tho dockets but the
original bill. The report in each case will
give tilie ages of the persons concerned, the
cause for which divorce was granted,
whether the wife or husband obtained the
divorce, the number of children, the place
of marriage and the migrations of the
couple since then, to show whether tho
change of residence was bona fide or merely
for the purpose of obtaining a divorce; the
length of time that marriage lastid and any
other facts that might tend to throw any
light on the subject. Another portion
of the work will give tho num-
ber of marriages as far as
their record shows by counties in
the United States for the same period, so
that the ratio of marriages to divorces can
be seen. A synopsis of the divorce law of
every state will also find a place, and the
work will conclude with statistics of di-
vorce In the principal countries of Europe.
The silbject of divorce has never been so
thoroughly investigated before. The Italian
government took up the inquiry several
years ftgo, but it was limited in its range.
The cost of tho investigation, it has been es-
lmated, has not been less than $30,000.
AUSTIN LOCAL ADVICES.
Travis County Matters Under Investigation
•-Dates for Speaking.
Austin, Tex., October 16.—The district
judge recently appointed th-. ee business men
to investigate the Travis county finances,
and It has been expected their report
would furnish-some good campaign matter
for the democrats. The report has been
dally looked for with much interest. It will
be submitted to-morrow. Enough is known
of the result of the investigation to predict
that It will create quite a sonsatlon. There
are rumors that several officials have been
loose officially, and that the county treasury
has been bled severely. It will effect both
democratic and independent oflice-holders.
The governor returned last night, and
will speak next at Georgetown. Secretary
of State Moore will speak Friday at Manor.
Commissioner Foster will probably speak
at several points in his old district before
the election. Treasurer Lubbock and Mr.
Moore will probably speak at Galveston.
At the annual piano drawing of Hazzard
& Co. Lore yesterday Mr3. B. Q. Ward of
Austin drew the prize—a grand Wheelock.
The new brick and granite passenger
depot of the International, the finest in the
state, was opened to-day. It is elegantly
finished inside and out, and is an ornament

Chicago, 111., October 15.—A petition of
800 legal republican voters of Marion
county, Ind., which includes Indianapolis,
was presented to Judge Gresham here to-
day, asking for the appointment of federal
supervision of election for Marion county.
The judge authorized Judge Woods of the
United States district court of Indiana to
act in his place. As there are no registra-
tion laws In Indiana the supervisors may bo
appointed up to within ten days of election

LAND GRANT TITLES.
E. G. ROSS, GOVERNOR OF NEW MEX-
ICO, MAKES HIS ANNUAL REPORT.
He Thinks That the Question of Land Grant,
Water Storage and Irrigation Are
More Important than Any Other
Topic In thai Section.
Washington, October 16.—[Special]—Mr.
E. G. Ross, governor of New Mexico, in his
annual report says that the questions of tho
settlement of laud grant titles, water stor -
age and irrigation precede in their impor-
tance to the development and future wel-
fare of the territory every other topic of an
economic character that could be suggested.
Of the land grants, he says that compared
with the aggregato acreage of the territory,
the^ea of these grants is not large but it
comprises several thousand holdings. Theso
grants are confined mainly to valleys where
water is accessible for irrigation, and are
often located in the vicinity of towns and
railways where the land is the
most valuable in the territory. The
greater portion of theso claim grants, he
says, are but illy defined as to exterior
boundaries, and in the increasing pressure
of settlement the unoccupied portions are
allowed lo be settled upon aud endless fric-
tions ensue, which will become more
serious from year to year, so long as legis-
lation for sett lenient is delayed. He says
it is to a degree unsafe oven now to go on
the public lands in some sections and make
improvements for fear of conflict with some
real or pretended grant.
the governor earnestly favors
the passage of the bills now pending in con-
gress for the relief of the people with re-
spect to the settlement of these grants. The
governor devotes considerable space to a
discussion of the subject of irrigation. Ho
says that of the 79,000,000 acres, the area of
the territory, 05,000,000 may be classed as
tillable with proper irrigation. He says
that the facilities of the territory for stor-
ing water is unsurpassed, and that the
present system of independent ditching
must be abandoned, and that the territorial
government must assume jurisdiction of
the water supply and its dlstriubtion.
The governor says that it is not necessary
that the coutry at large should he taxed for
the establishment of a general system. "We
have within ourselves." he says, "ample
means for its successful institution and do
not ask an appropriation from the public
treasury therefor. '
the bill now pending
before congress for the admission of New
Mexico provides that 250,000 acres of the
state land shall be devoted to the establish-
ment of reservoirs for irrigating purposes.
This, the governor thinks, would be ample
for the purpose and entirely satisfactory.
The population of the territory, the report
says, has increased during tlie year about
10,000, The aggregato value of the taxable
property in the territory is given as jH4,151,-
920. Of this amount $15,370,900 is on live
stock, $7,408,809 on lauds, anil $0,858,350 on
houses and improvements. Three hundred
and eighty-four thousand acres of laud
have been entered during the year by set-
tlers. The progress made in agriculture
during tho year, the report says, is very
marked, and substantial progress has been
made in educational interests.

Mr. P. Payne was accidentally shot and
killed by J. A. Sims, at his home near ProvU
denes, twelve miles southeast of this place.
Sims and Jake and Newt. Walls had had a
difficulty and the Walls had threatened to
kill Sims, and Sims was on the lookout for
them. Last night before bedtime I'nyno
left the house without being seen by Sims
to tether his horse, which he did, and
started to return to the house, when Sims
saw him with something on his shoulder,
which appeared to be a gun, but which was
only a stick of wood. Sims at once thought
it was one of the Walls coming to kill him
and he ran in the house and got his pistol,
and just as Payne put his foot on the door
step fired, killing him instantly. Then
Sims realized what he had done and became
almost distracted. He came in early this
morning and surrendered to the officers at
the jail.
Last night, while Sheriff J. W. Evans was
on route to Honey Grove in a two-horse
buggy, the top of the buggy became entan-
gled in a telephone wire which had partial-

ground and breaking the wrist and fingers
of his loft hand and badly injuring his left
side. He was brought home, and is consid-
ered out of danger at this hour.

I catch this fish and two more
I shall have three." If his
