In making his usual rounds he discovered that the grave of the deceased millionaire had breu dis turbed, and iudicatioi.s pointed to the fact thai perhaps tlie body had Ueu exhumed. He at once reported th matter to the sextan, who not i lied the sons oi the deceased. No lime was lost iu making au ex animation of tlie grave. The suspi cions of the man who made the dls oovery were realized, for upon opening the grave and examining the casket the body was found to have been taken. Thus far no clue has leu obtained as to the identity of the grave robbers, and tlie only motive (hat can be as signed for the deed is the hope of ob taining money for tli return of the corpse. As in all probability, however no reward will be offered, the energetic ghouls may have only their labor for their pains. there bad lieeu placed over the grave only a temporary nionumeut, consist. lug of the usual board with the lultlals W S L tlieieupoti, as the marble nion umeut ordered by (he family bad not yet been completed.

Ei-Mayor Matlock Writes a Letter Aid Gives Kirarei on Eugene's Financial Condition. Dear Mayor Kivkkndai.li-Ih your recent mi ssnge you say "there w a a reported reduction of $2,00X1 in tin Indebtedness of the city, but a carefu Inveitigatloii shows this w as apparent, ami not real." The recorder's report shows that th. true Indebtedness April 1, lS'.ti, wa ll 1,513 37, and April 1, ISn;, was $I7. 4lrl.53. Subtract and we have $2,022 S I'liis leaves the true liebt of the city $2,022 St, less April 1, 1SH7, than It w a. April 1, Iv.H). Is this real or apparent'.' I know if I had this sum 1 would cal It real, and not apparent. Tlie above llgims are from th annual repoits of the recorder ami ar. for one year. Each is, I believe, Jim as correct as any ho tver made, and Includes all the city owes except llirs months Interest oiiJI.'i.OOO sewer bonds aud intere-t 011 city warrants, and could not have been Included iu th. report w ithout doing II violence; be cause the Income could not U' counter for more than a year, and lo calculat. Ihe expense) for more than that tlm. would not show how mm It the oil w as reducing Its debt er annum. Hut III order to show Ihe indebted lies of the city you produce Ihe follow ing II g ii res: Sew er IhuiiIs $b"i,00) Accrued interest on same $2(12 f0 Outstanding warrants $13,330.7.1. Ac erued Inteicst on same $707 65. Hill" for current expenses for which warrants were not drawn $740 So, making a total of $;U),l;i7 73. I could not find the treasurer's reM.rt, although I scached diligently for it. I tht n went lo the lieasurer, and found the above figures misleading ill every reseit. The unpaid outstanding warrants on the first of April, 1M7, was $I.1.I4' Ki insttad of $13,330.73, error f f is 7S Interest on same as calculated Is $7SS 7H and not 7117.05, error $S.M). Warrants $U4tl S5 quoted above at $74fl.K.'i, error $100. Look ami relied 011 the above; it.needs no comment. .ow, If I had add. d to the f 1...1HNI sewer bonds $202 fit), I would have paid Ihe interest on the sewer IhuiiIs for 15 mouths Instead of 12 months as my report shows, and by this mode of calculation Interest on $l.'l,14'i 78 for 21 mouths, and the general excuses of the city for 1.1 months. I was making an annual report aud not a mixed up report, as this would have lieeu. It would havs been neither aenaible nr instructive. You say "that the revenues of the city are as follows:" Taxes estimated by the recor der $7.tl.'M) 00 Liceuses, estimated. S!,7.jH CO 150 W) asH in) Fines, estimated Cash 011 band $10,1)38 INJ You also meiillolT In litiga tion 2,300.00 Total $1.1.238 00 You say: "Out of this the current expenses must be paid, and uo part ol it can be considered au asset availa ble for payment 0:1 tlie debt." The law compels the city treasurer to pay the oldest recorded warrants llrst, (.the city must do its business on lime until Its debts are paid,) and al ready nearly $5,000 of this d bt has beeu paid, and there are about $1,000 sewer funds In the treasurer's hands which, if the mayor had beeu as cuiious to Inform himself about, as he was to know by what means the city had been able to reduce its debt $2,022 64 you could have applied this sum 011 Ihe debt tlie sewer fund owes the gen eral fund. Thus you could have had about $2,000 more of the outstanding warrants redeemed, and Interest stopied on the same. Thus the tax payers would have been relieved of paying Interest on nearly $7,00o (i all out of this fund which you say can not be coi sldersd aa assets available for payment of debts; but as it Is, and iu fact of t ha mayor's opinion, the law lias compelled the treasurer to redeem nearly $5,000 of the city warrants. Well, Mr Mayor, I think lliul the recorder's and treasurer's books are well aud ably kept, and I am willing lo take them as correct, and when they show that the city's debts have been reduced $2,02C84 lu tlie past year, I did iiuole them, and was then aud am yet very proud of their showing. You say "that the city has reduced Its debt about $250 lu the past year, aud hat you consider this a very creditable showing,' Hut dear Mayor, that Instead of guessing at It, aud calling It about $250, you had better leave It as the re corder's books show, $2,022 h-i. ami la It not a better showilllf. and more correct. I would have not wrlllen 1111 leuer to vou had you made the statement you promised me, uamsly that you did tiot Intend to do me In justice. Then I should have Hit me matter between you aud the recoriter, but I have given you ample time, and you have failed to keep your word. Yours truly, J. D. Matlock. Only Six Montiih Hack.
