TAPPING A BARREL.
II WAS Sampled by Freight Hansllers-They
Don't Drink Now.

From the New York Tribune.
An exceedingly practical temperance
lecture was preached to the freight hand
lcrs at one of the stations of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad n short time ago. The re-
suit il that each nan now wears n blue
ribbon, and all mysterious looking casks
and barrels which are put off ut that sta
ton and for which there arc no known
owners are left severely alone. A few
months ago there came to this place by
express n big barrel unaccompanied by
anything and having no mark by which
he owner or its destination could be
earned. There was an odor of whiskey
about it. and il locked suspiciotIsly like
n whiskey barrel. A tracer was sent
over the road, but nothing could he
learned as to where il came from, to
owned. 1t stood on the platform for a
few days until il became u nuisance. The
freight handlers eyed il rather ~longingIy,
but could not get at II while 1t was in that
conspicuous place. By the order of the
station agent the barrel was takent TO the
loft of d storeroom to wait for n possible
owner who might turn up some time in
the future. IL had been there two or three
months when ono OF the express mn
told him he was looking for a barrel nf
alcohol with two skeletons inside of it.
The station agent remembered the mys-
terious barrel and took the scarcher tn
tbc loft. Hc Immediately identified tho
saarfcf as inc 6iia which &c Was looking
for. A kick from his foot produced a hoi:
that numerous giinlct holes had boon
made i'm the head, and that tho holes had
been plugged up with matches.
The station agent sent for the freight
handlers to have them come to the loft
and help take the barrel Down.
Its empty faltcred one OF the men.
"Ics: I know. but L want to see il there
il anything inside OF it," said the express
agent, ut the same time breaking i'm the
head Of the barrel with an axe. Out tum-
bicd the two skeletons to the horror and
disnlay OF the freight handlers. They were
tlurnfoundcd and fled from the loft in
stantly. Not one of the men turned up for
work for three days. AL sent around
word in the morning that they were sick.
Whom they did come back each wore n
blue ribbon, and they haven't been since

How He Returned Her Rubber.

From the Boston Courier.
One evening last week, when the street

The conductor rang the bell for starting,
then he stopped and picked up the over
shoe.
"Say. lady, he bawlcd, ''didn't you
lose your rubber"
The lady turned ON the edge of the side
walk, to which she had picked her muddy
way and, seeing that she had lost her shoe,
started toward the r.treatinG car to re-
gain II. But the polite conductor, to
mud and himself the trouble of stopping
the car, threw the ovcrshoc to the lady.
His aim was good and the result was that
she received the muddy shoe directly in

MIsSOULA, March H. Rumors have
been current in this city for some time
past that the books i'm the county
tfcasurcr's Office were left in
n somewhat complicated state by
late county treasury, Judge John Andcr-
son. A reporter has invcsti-
gated the report and finds there is good
for the story. Judge Ander-
son. who was republican county clerk un-
til his defeat by Mr.. Bailey, democrat,
last fall, is considered one OF
and the mistakes discovered in
books of his Office are evidently simply
the result OF careless bookkeeping. When
the present county treasurer. Bailey
took office he found and rccciptcd
for about twenty-four thousand dollars
cash on hand. The books and records
were not found in very good con-
dition, but Judge Anderson furnished
what ~purported To he n full and complete
statement of affairs of his Office. This
statement showed that there should be
about $4,000 cash on hand, but
az a matter of fact there was over S24,OOO,
n cash surplus of over 5000 which the
books and documents OF Anderson's
Office could not account FOR.

Several weeks ago j. A. Bowers.
who was the democratic candidate
for sheriff of Pettis county at the cleo
ton last November, and who was
beaten by Sheriff Ellis r. Smith, had
notice served ON the latter that the
election would be contested, alleging
fraudulent voting in many precincts.
Yesterday afternoon Coroner Much
at the instance of Sheriff Smith,
served similar papers on Mr.. Bowers,
of q counter character, wherein
charges of illegal voting and disquali.
fcation of clerks and judges are cited.
Sheriff Smith in his papers, says that
he was duly and fairly elected, has
commission from the governor OF
Missouri, duly attested by The secre.
tary of state, and that he proposes t.
contend this ground.
The notice is quite vo!uminous, con,

illegal voters, and of clerksand Judges
in various precincts who, it is claimed
were rot qualified for one reason OIL
another to serve.
