The work of securing a complete
enumeration of soldiers, Bailors null
marines who served In the late war,
aud of the widows of the deceased
soldiers, etc., was not completed dur
ing the late census, as mauy soldiers
did not realize the importance of the
work, and full records were not ob
tained in many cases. In order to
make the work complete, the posts of
the G. A. R. will contiuue It, and will
receive cards from the census office
that will contain the necessary ques
tions, Comrades In this vicinity
whoso records were not fully or cor
rectly given, or not given at all, will
help In the work by applying to F. H.
Hopkins, adjutant of the local post.
It Is one of the most important
branches of the census work, and the
value that Bates' history has been is
an indication of how useful a volume
containing the records and addresses
of all the veterans in the country will
be. The work will include about
1,600,000 names, and will make eight
large volumes. The matter is made

By NMvnal Press Association.
Wasiuxoton, Juno 15. Tho statement
prepared by Comptroller Lacoy and sont
to Mayor Stuart, of Philadelphia, on the
course pursued by him with tho Key
stone Bank of that city, has just beon
made public hero. Tho statement in
cludes tho letter of Bank Examiner Drew,
ot Jan. 84, notifying him of the $000,000
defalcation ot Lucas, tho luto president
of the bank.
In this letter Mr. Drew oxplalns how
by adroit manipulation of tho accounts
of tho bank, Lucas, with tho assistance
of Marsh, tho former president of tho
bank, abstracted large sums of money
from tho bank to uso in real estate spec
ulation. Marsh, ho reported, was lgnor
ently led into these transactions.
Accompanying this letter was a prelim
inary statement of tho bank's condition
which left a capital stock of half n mil
lion intnet nnd a not surplus of $55,810.
Later on, January 27, Mr. Drew In an in
terview with-tho Comptroller, stated that
the property convoyed to tho bank by the
Lucas estate, was equal In valuo to the
Indebtedness wkUk had been concealed.
Mr. Lacey says ho did not closo the bank
then for the reason that bo had no law
ful authority to do so upon tho facts sub
mitted. ,
In answor to criticisms for delay In ap
pointing a receiver, Mr. Lacey Bays It
was not mado Immediately because it
was tho duty of tho Comptroller to faclll
tate tho resumption of business by the
bank. The Comptroller states that YoiU

TAWNJSK BILL.
A Herald reporter spent about five
hours on.the grounds Saturday. He found
ovor a hundred workman engaged in lay
ing out a raca track in a large field south of
thorailway station and west of the camf
meeting grove. Gangs were hero and
there filling, digging and levelling the
track; another gang was working like
beavers on the grand stand; and a third
striving every norvo to get tho fenco up in
time for Pawnee Bill's groat show. The
work had been com mencod rather late in
the 6eason and tho task was a stupendous
ono. But tho pontractors kopt their meii
at work until midnight, Saturday, all day
yesterday nnd until a late hour last night
and accomplished tho undertaking.
The mammotb dancing pavillion with an
inclosod platform 00x80 feet is located
close to tho Lakeside hotel, Work on it if
boing pushed rapidly and the structure will
be finished in a few days. The shooting
gallery will ba located on tho first floor of
tho etructuro and tho basement will be
utilized for bowling alleys,
Tho willow tree? planted this ipring are
growing nicely and will indue time ad'1
greatly to the natural beauty of tho place,
A row has beon planted on each side of tho
wide walk leading from the railway station
to the boat landing and wbon tho trees
have attained their growth this will mako a
delightful promenade,
Several new boats havo been placed pn
the lakes and about a dozen more, besides
a new steam propeller, will be added
shortly.
ThW will bo a gala week at Lakeside,
To-day the season formally opened and to
morrow the throng will bo immense. On
Thursday "Washington Camp No, 200,
P O. S. of A will .take a great crowd
there. Friday will be Buslnoss Men'
Day and Saturday everybody's day and
Pawnee Bill's farewell.
Wednesday will be a grand day. Taraa'
nua will flood tho place with her beautiful
maidens and their escorts from all parts of
tho cpunty.
Pawnee Hill (Major U. W. Llllie) an
his gigantic show arrived at Lakeside at
midnight Saturday and tho tenU and tepees

ponies, bronchos, buffaloos and other anl
raals used in the show greatly enhanced
tho.picturetquo appearance of this hereto'
foro sleepy place.
-Major uordon iillllo is a thorough gen
tleman and his treatment of visitors is of
tho most courteous and hospitable nature.
Thero is nothing rough or desperado-like
about tho conduct of himself or followers
and tho discipline is perfect. Tho show is
great ono and thoso who neglect to sco it
will miss a chanco of a life time.
May Llllie Is a lovely little lady, bright.
ivacious, graceful and pleasing. She was
no of tho mot popular ladies in Pottstown
last week and was almost drowned with
flowers at every exhibition she gave. The
people wont wild over hor shooting. Ono
tho greatest features of Pawnee Bill's
Wild West Is a bund of thorough cowboys
men, tho groatost part of whoso lives
have beon spent on tho backs of Mexican
mustangs and Texas bronchos roaming the
ast cattlo domain in tho far West, and
ithont whoso aid tho great and fertile
districts now studded with cattle ranches
would to-day be a howling wildorness, and
the oastorn necessities of tho table, tan-
yard and factory would bo limited indoed.
Tho spring of tho year Is tho cowboy's
harvest. During "Kound Up" many a
trong friendship is renewed and many
moro made; the cattlo for milos around are
brought together at a certain point and
time by tho ranchors, and each rancher's
cowboys aro requirod to cut from this im-
monso herd all cattlo bearing his rospectivo
brand or brand, and drive to his rancho.
Then comes tho branding. If a branding
hoot bo not at hand, each animal has to bo
lassoed and thrown, then branded with a
hot iron. Although a littlo p iinful to tho
animal at the time, yet it is the only way
by which the owners can toll their stock
from tho surrounding cattlo. Pawnco Bill,
at great expense, has brought from the
plains of Texas and tho Indian Territory.a
icked band of tho most scientific lasso-
throwers and broncho riders, headed by
tho famous plainsman, Mustang Walter,
and at each performance they will lasso
and brand cattle, rido bucking bronchos,
pick up coins from the ground, mount and
dismount while their horses aro running at
full speod. Their part of tho performance
is wonderful, and cannot bo highly appro
elated by all who witness it.
Parties purchasing railway tickets for
Lakodde should make sure that a coupon
ticket of admission is attached, as this
assures faro and admission at a reduced
rato and savos much troublo and incon
venlence.
The management has made arrangements
for full police protection. Tho East Maha
noy Junction Land nnd Improvement
Company is a regularly chartered organiza
tion and it has a regular corps ol special
police, appointed by tho Court, to protect
its grounds. Constable Teter, ot Hush
township,is in command.
