Scandal in Spok'ane.
Spokane Falis, W. T., Sept 16.
Exposures in the most disgraceful
scandal in the history of "Washington
were made to-day. On account of
the terrible fire that occurred August
4, thousands of dollars worth of pro-.
visions were sent here from all parts
of the country for the relief of the
sufferers. The supplies were taken
charge of by the relief committee and
issued to applicants upon orders pb
taiued from persons authorized to
perform that duty.
Subsequently, it was discovered
that crookedness had been practiced,
aud that Kobert Inglis, an employee
of the relief committee who was sus
pected of stealing goods and soiling
them to the grocers and others, had
left the city. Chief of police Warren
traced him to Chico, California, and
brought him back. He then made
the startling statement that a con
spiracy had existed among the offi
cials and others, for the appropriation
of the relief supplies oa a large scale.
Inglis' examination was continued
until to-day, and he was released on
$500 bail. He made both written and
verbal statements in detail, and as
late as last Saturday night reiterated
his oft repeated declaration that he
intended to stand his trial and ex
pose all who were guilty .of the crime
of which he was accused, still claim
ing that he was acting under orders
in all his transactions while ip the em
ploy of the committee.
An investigation implicated coun
cilman Waters and Dueber, police
men Gillespie and others in the steal
ing of several thousand dollars worth
of goods. A large sum was sub
scribed to proscecute the rascals.
The guilty parties mentioned above
will be arrested to-night and other
arrests will bo made to-morrow.
It has been long suspeoted that a
conspiracy existed iu the council for
the purpose of boodle, and a perma
nent citizens' committee wa3 organ
ized to protect the people against a
recurrence of official misconduct of
any character.
President Taylor of the board of
trade, in his speech to-day, openly
expressed his opinion that this move
ment will save the city at least S100,
000 a year. The people keenly feel
the disgrace that has fallen upon the
city, and are determined to let no
guilty person escape.
Military men state that Waters will
surely be court-martialed for con
duct unbecoming an officer. Both
he and Dueber will be rea nested to
resign as members of the city council.
Headaches, biliousness, and liver
troubles are promptly cured by the
use of Ayer's Cathartic Pills. Equally
safe for young or old.
There are only fifteen tolegraph
offices in all London, with a popula
tion of 4,000,000, and Antwerp, with a
population of 500,000 and a -largo
business, has only one office. It is
the same wjiy with the big cities in
all European countries.
Constipation Has Manj Victims, ,
And the endeavor to find relief with the
cathartic, the injection, the aperient and
laxative are distressing. These are re
sorted to time and again, until the suf
ferer is almost in despair, as he gains
only a brief respite.
Bv taking Simmons Liver Regulator,
the bowels will be gently moved as nat
urally as if no medicine had been taken.
