Omaha, March 20. Tour special
treasury department secret-service men,

' ployed at division headquarters, and the
forces of the United States marshal's
offic;, -ire working in Omaha and vicin
ity to i: iearth a private mint which has
already turned oat over 500,000 standard
silver dollars, using the same amount of
silver and alloy as the government.
The place has been in operation for
some time, and it is said it is impossi
ble to detect the difference between the
money made by the counterfeiters and
the 'genuine turned out by the federal
mints. The profits of the gang are
made from the fact that the market
price of silver is so low, which is eaid to
give the makers a rake-off of 51 cents on
each dollar made. The secret-service
men have secured a cine which they be
lieve will result in the entire gang being
jailed shortly.

Breckinridge-Pollard trial. The princi
pal actor in the local affair, according to
the Rocky Mountain News, is H. E.
Sims, member of the Ninth general
assembly from Arapahoe county. Sims
for some time has been engaged to a
daughter . of a prominent Capitol Hill
family, and the date of the wedding
had been . set for March 19. After
deceiving the girl, Sims 'induced her
to go to Pueblo on a -visit, and while
there he married Miss Harriet Landou,
a teacher in one of the city public
schools and a moat estimable lady. The
can pie are now in California on a bridal
tour. It is understood the wife was
unconscious of her husband's duplicity.
The betrayed girl knew nothing of the
secret marrage until her return home
to prepare for her own wedding. . It
is feared the shock will be serious in- its
results. ,

Miss Pollard's Correspondence Fernsed
by. the Lawyers.
Washington, March 20. Cross-examination
of the plaintiff in the Pollard
Breckinridge case was continued this
morning. It began with the" identifica
tion and reading of letters Written by
Miss Pollard to her protector, Rhodes,
- in November, 1884, in which she asks
him to make a special effort to get
money to pay her board, suggesting that
he borrow it, and adding an invitation
to come at a certain hour to see her,
saving they would be alone and have a
pleasant time. .
At the end of 188 she wrote to him
from Bridgeport, Ky. She wrote him
asking for money,- and signing "Yours
with love." In Febuary, 1885, just be
fore she was going away for the birth of
her first child, she reproached him for
not sending her money and told him if
he did not bring it he need not come to
see her.
Among the letters were two dated
New Orleans, postmarked Tooles
borough, Ky. Witness admitted she
never was in New Orleans. There were
various others asking for money. She
went on .to say these demands for
money wetfe for the 'purpose of allaying
Rhodes' ' suspicions ; being in urgent
need of money seemed to present good
evidence Bbe had no other resources
except what she got from him. Breckin
ridge planned it all. He dictated the
letters dated New Orleans, and others
Some of them he wrote on a typewriter
when she was ill at the asylum, saying
in explanation she was learning to be
typewriter. Some of them "he wrote
and dated ahead, mailing them on the
cars and elsewhere. The court then took
a recess. '

A lady residing on Geary street, San
Francisco, writes as follows to the Ex
aminer: v '
Two' men came to this house about
30 a. m, today, and without ringing
the bell, knocking-at the door or intro
ducing themselves in any way walked
blusteringly into the' first room they
came to, coolly took chairs at the table,
and without any ceremony whatever de
manded in the most abrupt and impu
dent manner the name of the landlady.
was naturally surprised and frightened,
and wished to know who they were and
why they desired ' such information.
The men replied that it didn't make any
difference whatever who they were or
what they wanted, as they had author
ity and must have things their own way,
otherwise 'they would make it hot for
her. But tbev didn't show any badge
or paper of authority whatever, as I
daresay they thought their word and ap
pearance sufficient. They simply en
tered a tirade of foul abuse, walked to
every door, in the house, tried the locks
and knocked like lunatics. Unfortun
ately there was nobody in the rooms at
the time- who might have kicked them
out pr called a policeman to arrest them.
After they had given this exhibition of
cowardly rowdyism they then casually
dropped the remark that thev were tax
assessors, and that they were in a posi
tion to, and would undoubtedly, wipe
tBe landlady and the house off, the face
of the earth. But they left nothing to
prove their great authority. For aught
I know they may have been burglars.
But, assuming that they are assessors,
what right have they as public servants
to enter people a houses and transact
business in' such a manner? - When
public servants become disreputable and
abusive hoodlums they Bhould' be
epeedily replaced by decent and polite
men, of whom there are so many here.
JBut - whether tney are burglars or
deputy tax assessors, I am an American
and demand protection.
The great daily has inquired into the
case and will prosecute the assessor.
Insects Transport Twice Their
Welent on the Wing.
An interesting note about the weight
of bees appears in an American jour- j
nal devoted to agriculture. It seems
that an ordinary bee, not carrying any
load of pollen, weighs the ' one five
thousandth part of a pound. Five
thousand bees thus make a pound
weight. When, however, the bee is
carrying his load of -pollen or honey,
as he returns from foraging amid the
flowers, his weight is increased nearly
three: times. He carries thus about
twice his own weight, a result not sur
prising to those who have studied the
muscular powers and ways of insects
at large. When bees are loaded it re
quires only eighteen hundred of them
to make up the pound: Details are
also given regarding the number of
bees which may exist in a hive. From
four to five pounds weight of bees are
found in an ordinary colony. This
means' in figures of population, some
twenty to twenty-five thousand
individuals. A big swarm, it is said,
will often double this estimate. Talk
ing of bees, if any of my readers wish
to indulge in a very curious - and fas
cinating bit of zoological study, they
should read the story of what is called
parthenogenesis" m bees and other
insect, such as the aphides or green
flies of the roses and other plants. For
such eggs of the queen bee as are fer
tilized when laid turn 'out workers (or
neuters) or queens, while those which
are not fertilized at all develop into
males or drones. This is very singular,
because fertilization of an egg or seed
is regarded ordinarily as necessary for
its due development.

THE RULER OF ALL RUSSIA.
Many Ways in Which the Autocrat's Gen
eric Title Is Spelled.
As we are upon Russian topics, says
a Berlin letter to the Philadelphia
Ledg-er, it may be worth while to re-
fer to the notice- under the word czar
in the recently-completed second vol
ume of "The New English Dictionary,
the monumental work of Dr. Murray
and his associates. -'The spelling with
Cz," it says, "is against the usage of
aH Slavonic languages. The word was
so 'spelled by . Herberstein in Berum
Muscovit Commentarii, 1549, the chief
early source of information as to Rus
sia .. in western Europe, whence
passed into the western languages gen
erally; in some of them it is now old
fashioned. The German ' form is zar,
and France has recently adopted tsar,
which is also the most suitable Eng
lish spelling." But Isarevitch, some
times used to designate the hereditary
prince, is wrong. He has the. differ
entiated title, cesarevitch, which
formed directly on the Latin Crasar.
and not in any, Slavonized form of the
word." , The Germans translate his
Russian title. very closely in calling
him the Grossfurst Thronfolger liter
ally, the "Grand-Prince-Throne-Suc-
cessor." .

THE OLDEST LOCK.
It Was Made of Wood ind Its Key was
Remarkably Large. .'
In the "History of Nineveh and Its
Palaces,?' by Joseph Bonomi, we find a
description of perhaps the oldest lock
ever discovered, says Hardware. It
was used in securing the gates in one
of the palaces of Khorsabad. In de
scribing -this ancient piece of hard
ware, if such terms may be applied to
wooden locks, he says: "At the end of
the chamber, just behind the first bulls,
was formerly a strong gate of one leaf,
which was fastened by a large wooden
lock, like those still used in the east,
of which the key is as much as a man
can conveniently carry, and by a bar
which moved into a square hole in the
wall.
"It is to a key of HAiis description
that the prophet probably alludes:
.'And the key of . the house of David
will I lay upon his shoulder,' and it is
remarkable that the word for key in
this passage of Scripture, 'muftah, is
the same in use all over the east at the
present time. The key of an ordinary
street door is commonly thirteen or
fourteen inches long and the key of
the gate of a public building or-of a
street or ot a quarter of a town is two
feet or more in length.
"The iron pegs at one end of the
piece of wood correspond to so many
holes in the wooden bar or bolt of the
lock, which when the door or gate is
shut cannot be opened until the key
has been inserted afnd the impediment
to the drawing back of the 'bolt re
moved by raising: up so many iron pins
that fall down into holes in the
bar or bolt corresponding to the peg in
the key.';
This description and others of a cor
roboratory character prove that this
form of lock and key was ' in use in
Egypt four or five thousand years, dur
ing which extended""" period - of time it
does not appear to have undergone any
successful change.
A Queenly Head
Can never rest on a body frail from dis
ease any more than the lovely lily can
grow in the sterile soil. When Con
sumption fastens its bold upon a victim,
the whole physical structure commences
its decay. At such a period, before the
disease is too far advanced, Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery will arrest
and cure it. So certain, ia this, that an
offer is made to refund the money paid
for it when a failure can be found under
the condition of a fair trial.
