The cost of fighting saloon licenses in the Commissioners' Court of Madison county will tax the citizens of Summitville, who recently remonstrated and carried a case to trial before the commissioners, almost $1,000. The costs in two cases amounted to $tS9, the cases being appealed from the commissioners to the Superior Court and then dismissed by the remonstrators. The county clerk Issued fee bills, but, acting under the advice of attorneys, the remonstrators refused to settle the costs. The matter was called to the attention of the County Commissioners, and that body has ordered Judgments against the remonstrators for the amounts, thus binding them for costs which could not be collected by fee bills. The judgments were signed by the commissioners and the sheriff instructed to proceed to collect by attachment, if costs were not paid within a reasonable time.

There are two other casus pending in which the costs amount to more than $1,100. The only way in which escape is offered is to withdraw from the remonstrance.

Eastern Capitalists May Be Indicted for BoodlinK in MiNnoari. ST.

LOUIS. July 1. Circuit Attorney Folk has information which may lead to the indictment of Eastern capitalists for bribery in connection with the transit bill, which was passed by the Missouri Legislature in 1899. The statute of limitation prevents prosecution of those persons living in Missouri who are alleged to have been connected with the deal, but those living in New York are not protected. It is understood that such indictments would have to be found by the Cole county grand jury, as the deal was made In Jefferson City, Mo.

Should the indictments be voted, the whole boodle story would doubtless come out for the first time. Several capitalists in New York were interested in the bill which made possible the consolidation of the street-car lines in St. Louis, save the suburban, and it is reported that they authorized the expenditure of $150,000 to obtain the desired authority to consummate the deals. The legislative agents were empowered, It is said, to use all the money necessary to overcome the objections of any member of the Legislature. Circuit Attorney Folk expects to complete the chain of eidence in a few days.

SUIT FILED FOR $50,000 BEDFORD WOMAN SUES HER FORMER FIANCE AU OTHERS. Says They Conspired to Defrand Her of Her Property and Did Secure Part of It Other Litigation. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BEDFORD, July 1. Tuesday Miss Epsie George filed suit for breach of promise against Attorney S.

B. Peugh for $15,000, and to-day, by her attorneys, M. F. Dunn and East East, followed this up by filing suit against Spencer Peugh, George W. McDatiiels, William A.

Brown, Vinson V. Williams, Frank Owen, Edmund Boruff, the Bedford National Bank, the Stone City Bank, the Midland Portland Cement Com pany and the Capital National Baiik of Indianapolis for $50,000. The complaint re cites that the plaintiff was possessed of United States bonds to the value of $60,000, which were deposited in the Bedford National Bank in the custody of William A. Brown, cashier. It is alleged in the complaint that Peugh, while her affianced hus-oand and agent, was actually conspiring and confederating with McDaniel and Brown to gain possession of her bonds.

The complaint alleges further that by reason of the representation made to her by Pugh and Brown, who was, as cashier of the Bedford National Bank, custodian of her funds, and George W. McDaniel, vice president of the Midland Portland Cement Company, she was induced to buy worth of the common stock of the cement company at par when in fact it had no market value, of which she was Ignorant, but which was at th; time well known to the defendants. It is stated in the complaint that she sold part of her bonds to make the purchase advised, the proceeds of such sales amounting to about $55,000, of which sum Pugh is stated to have received $15,000 to $18,000, which was deposited in the Stone City Bank, the Bedford National Bank and the Capital National Bank of Indianapolis. The court is asked to declare a lien on all funds of said defendants in said banks and judgment is asked for $50.000. The banks are made parties to the suit merely in their capacity as custodians of the funds in question and not as interested parties.

DEEDS TO I lit) It HEIRS Upheld by Jadge Ryan in the Madison Connty Circuit Court. SpeciaJ to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, July II. C. Ryan handed down an important ruling In his court last night, holding that property can be rightfully deeded to heirs yet unborn.

In 1S76 George J. Davis deeded a farm near this city to the bodily heirs of hia son, Milton R. Davis, but the son was to enjoy the rentals during his life. Milton died in 1889, but before his death he had sold the farm to George Eggman. On his ithbed Milton Davis confided to his children the terms of the deed by which he enjoyed the rents of the farm and told thm it rightfully belonged to them and they should sue for its possession.

They did so. The ease has been in the courts for years. The defense set up that there were no children at the time of the conveyance of the property. The plaintiffs alleged that their right was valid because it was deeded to children even before they were born.

COVINGTON, July State continued Its presentation of evidence in the trial of Mrs. Elmira Drake on the charge of poisoning her husband, Robert J. Drake, but has not, so far.

WHAT "LAZARD FRERES" IS. That Has Poisled Newspaper Readers. New York Commercial. At intervals there appears In the telegraphic reports in hundreds of newspapers throughout the country a short dispatch from New York announcing that "Iazard Freres will to-morrow ship to Europe millions of gold." For years these dispatches have been sent out from New York nothing else about Lazard Freres except just that. There has never been any explanation of who he is or what he is or why he is nothing but the monotonous Iteration and alteration that "to-morrow lizard Freres will ship to Europe millions of aold." Populist politicians In heated political campaigns have inveighed against "him" as some sort of a monster a gold bug, a blood-sucker, whose sole object in life was to collect all the gold in Wall Street and ship it to Europe.

Their only knowledge was gained from that oft-publish' press-dispatch with its never-changing rhythm. Who is Lazard Freres? In a building in Wall Street not one of the best on the second fl 1 an ordinary office. It reads: lizard Freres, Bankers and Brokers." In the street there are a doaen foreign exchange brokers no more pretentious, no less. They Import and export gold. They are all industrious, hustling, capable business men.

whose knowledge of international finance is beyond the average. Lazard Freres is a firm of Jew bankers In Paris. They have branches In York. London and elsewhere. As the name "Lazard Freres lppeara on the sign In Paris, so it Is uted here.

They 1, thought it worth while to translate the French "freres the English "brothers." so "Lazard Freres" goes out to the country where French as a language is more honored in theory than prurtir in the press dispatches, and he is thought to be a pretty big man to be able to buy so much gold for export. Whv gold is ever shipped Is a little story by Itself. When the flight of negotiable paper transatlantic becomes markedly tin-even and there remains none on the other side to balance our Indebtedness, the rates of exchange grow. They grow until Lasard Freres see a tiny margin of profit in each pound sterling they can ship to London, after paying a week's Insurance, drayage and freightage so. out goes over the country another preas dispatch.

It Is stated that the everglades of Florida are to be drained, thereby rescuing six hundred thousand acres of good, rich land from the swamp where It has been submerged aa long as our knowledge of the peninsula recara. Ir. Wiley of the Department of Agriculture, places an approximate value of an acre on this land and adds that it will be capable of producing more sugar than the entire Island of Cuba. I it- rglades extend through the southern part of the peninsula, snuth of Lake Okeechobee, an immense body of water lying nesr the center of the State.

The region Is flooded at Intervals, but it is sev- ersl feet above sea level and can be drained by digging an immense ditch to the ocean. TMs is not a dime-alt matter, as the ground is 'it.
