If all the thieves in the country were
suddenly arrested and placed in prison
it would make gaps in the business
world too fearful to contemplate. 1t
would annihilate the grain rings, the
Whiskey rings, and the meat rings. 1t
would destroy the manufactures and
shut up two thirds of the brokerage
offices; it would suspend half of the
water works; cancel majority of the
et-paving contracts and utterly ex-
terminate the plumbing business. 1t
would thin ranks of legal and medical
fraternities, take thousands of 'insur-
ance agents from the field, shut the
doorss of real estate offices, and so re-
duce the representation in Congress
that no quorum could be obtained I'M
til after the next election.

HOW MUCH RAIN WEs-LFALL.

The Weekly Courier-J ournal has
struck a popular note in it's weather
guessing contests. A wonderful amount
OF interest was taken in it's offer of
$1,000 for the closest guesses to the
coolest day and temperature during
February, at Louisville, and much val
liable information was gathered by
subscribers on the subject. This con-
test has just been decided, there being
tWenty-eight lucky guessers. The
Weekly COurier-JOu rnal now makes
another offer on the same line. For
the closest guesses to the amount of
rain that will fall at Louisville during
the month of May, the Weekly Courier
Journal will give $1,000. This money
will be divided into nineteen presents
one Of $500, two of 800 each, two of
$50 each, four of 500 each, and ten of
$40 each. Each guess must be accom-
panied by 81, to pay for one years
subscription to the Weekly Courier
Journal, the best Democratic paper
published. The rainfall is scientifcal-
ly measured, to the hundredth part of
an inch. The heaviest rainfall in May
during the past twenty years was seven
inches and forty six hundredths of an
inch. The ightest was one inch even.
The measurements are made by the
Government officials of the Weather
Bureau at Louisville. Sample copies
of the paper with full particulars of
the contest, will be sent free to any
address. Write at once, as under no
will any guesses be re-
ceived after April 3Oth. Address
