that indeed the city gains by having the
reputation of being a liberal town; they re-

TO have been caused by the smooth work of
the bosses who have been pulling wires to
scare away any who may be inclined to see
the police to enforce il.
Instruction has been given to enforce the

ROMANCE OF AN OLD FIDDLE.
1t Brought Wealth to a Man Who Had
No Music I'm His Soul.

WICHITA. Kan, July 6.-Hugh Mcclure,
a farmer near Goddard, this county. re-
ceived a violin by express that had in 1t
something more soothing to a Kansas farm
er than music. Two years ago his uncle,
Peter Conroy. died at Washing ton city.
He was supposed to have some money
saved up. and as McGuire was his only heir
ne anticipated a little fortune. When Con-
roy's will was opened 1t was found that
he left nothing to Mcguire but an old fiddle
he brought from Traiee, County Kerry,
Ireland, In 1S4S. McGuire was SO indig-
nant that he would not pay express charges
on the fiddle to Kansas. One night he
dreamed the fiddle was full Of money. He
spoke about it TO his wife. and the latter,
believing in dreams, appropriated ST. from
her butter and egg fund to pay the charges.
1t arrived to-day. and when. examined he
found in it 81. 500 in money and a deed to 160
acres of land near Glymount. Va. Not a
word Of. explanation was with the money,
and Hugh Mcclure is wondering what his
uncle's idea was. The instrument was torn
to pieces to get the money out. but it will
be glued together again and hung on the
wall Of Hugh McGuire's cottage rs a
monument to his uncle's memory.

probability of the edict OF the department
