FiKE OLD FRAUD.
Eu.lolph Smitli. Temperance Ora

Thievery;to Forgery Hi
Last Eratie Effort.
From the Evening .Star.
Rudolph Smith, the self continu
ed temperance agitator, wlio has
been causing w much excitement in
various parts ot Kansas ami .Missou
ri, and notably m Hai risonville, Mo.,
bids fair to get himself into serious
trouble'. In I larrisonvdle, it will be
remembered, his anthemas were so
violent and his letters to a morning
paper in this city so scurrilous and
detamatorv, that he had the whole
town by the ears.
.rvooiu me lust ot the present
month Smith came to this city and
uiniiuj;ui3iii:u liiiusen ov Toinc1, on a
high old bender. He painted the
town red for several consecutive
days, was twice arrested tor
drunk-
eness, was charged with stealing an
overcoat from the Metropolitan ho-
tei, anu nnaiiy, on the 12th inst.,
was sent to the rock pile in default
of the wherewith to nav a Dolice
court fine.

Smith was released frcm the
work
house last -Saturday. With an
amount of '"gall" truly colossal he
returned to theascence of his former
labors to bleed a too confiding pub
lic out ot a few more dollars on the
well worn temperance 4,racket."
The manner in which he essayed
to clear himself of the imputations
alluded to. may be explained bv the

Speers to-day. Enclosed was the
following, which the chief charac
terizes as an arrant forgery:
Headquarters Police Department,
City Hall, l-jourth & Main sts.,
Kansas City, Mo., May iS.
( Thos. M. Speeks,
Chiet ot Police, j
To Tvhvm it may cotictrn.
This is to certify that no such per-
son as Rudolph Smith, the Journal
correspondent in Cass county, has
ever been on the rock pile in this
citv.
The arrest of a Rudolph Schmidt,
and the personal interference of a
drunken man named W. P. Barnes,
was the cause ot the publication in
the Times of this city.
Mr. Smith is engaged in the pub
Iication of a book in this city, and as
sociates with our best people. The
man Barnes represented himself :
"presiding judge" of Cass county
I ruly yours, Spfers.
Chief Speers answered as follows:
Office ot Chief of 1 obce, Kan
sas Citv, Mo., May 22, Wm. A.
Smith, Esq., East Lynne, Mo.,
Dear Sir: lour letter of inquiry
enclosing what purports to be a cer
tihcate from me regarding the char
acter of Rudolph Smith, an ex-tem
perance orator, of f Iarnsonville and
more recently a member ot our rock
pile force, is received. In regard to
it I can only sav the certificate is a J
base forgery. I am "satisfied that
the old fraud Rudolph Smith "sneak

written, out ot my office and then
forged the certificate. It he is m
your vicinity please let me know at
once and oblige.
Yours Very Truly,
Thos. M. Speers,
Chief of Police.
Smith is. in appearance, a fine I
looking man, about 55 years ot age. j
Chief Speers is confident that he
forged his name, and says he is a
drunkard and a scoundrel. As a
temperance orator. Smith has been
successtuherv . How he obtained
possession of the letter head upon
w hich his bogus certificate of char-
acter is written is not known, but the

Living With a Bullet in His Brain.
From the New York Medical Record.
Dr. W. P. Hartford of Beetown,
Wis., sends us the history of a some
what rare case. A young man,
1
ageu 30, was snot in the tace, re
ceiving the full charge ot a shot-gun
at a distance of 15 yards. His head
was struck with seven No. 4. shot
and two bullets. Dr. Hartford
writes: "One bullet penetrated the
frontal bone three-fourths of an inch
above the right supraorbital ridge.
anu I think it passed nearly if not
quite through the brain ; it cut a
clean hole through the bone. We
probed the wound about an inch and
a half ; it wentstraight into the brain,
and there was some of the brain
nbstance on the ground where
ne iew vvnen snot. mere was
t i" I I
another bullet wound just under the
right eye that penetrated for about
an inch. The course ot the bullets
was from right to left. The patient
was unconscious, and then some
what delirious for a few days.
He finally recovered entirely, except
for a feeling of numnness in the
right hand and leg."

a piece of silk embroidery done a
