BIC STAMP STEAL.
Ten Thousand Dollars Worth
Taken at Springfield, III.
Robbery Was Committed in
Broad Daylight.
VAULT WAS LOCKED.
Wedding Presents Stored There
Were Also Taken.
VAULT WAS LOCKED.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April 4.-The post
Office here was robbed of about SO,
worth of stamps and silverware yester-
day. The robbery was committed
about noon, while Postmaster Ridgely
was at dinner. The robbery was not
discovered until o'clock and those i'm
plicated have SO far covered up their
tracks. Access was gained to the
vault by the use of duplicate
keys. The vault is located in
the postmaster's private Office, and
the com bination is never turned
except at night. In order to secure en-
trance to the vault, two keys had to be
used, one to open the spring lock on
the door of the office and the other to
the inner door of the vault. Both of
these doors were locked when Mr..
Ridgely returned to the Office. Besides
the stamps Mr.. Ridgely had stored in
the vault his daughters wedding pres
ents, valued at 81, 900. The stamps and
silverware would make an enormous
package, and it is hard to conceive of
a method to take them from the build
ing in broad daylight without observa-
ton. 1t was o'clock when Assistant
Postmaster McMurphy had occasion to
go to the vault for stamps. He found
the interior of the vault in wild dis
order and everything of value removed.
This was the first intimation that the
place had been looted.
SALOONS REFUSED INSURANCE.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April MANY
insurance companies are canceling the
risks which they have taken upon a
part of the saloons in this state.
Agents in many cities have received
instructions to cancel these policies,
although heretofore there has been no
discrimination against saloon men
who desired insurance. The reason as
signed for the new ruling is that com
panies cannot afford to insure saloon
property since the enactment of the
Nicholson bill Insurance men say
that the character of the law is such as
to force a class of saloonkeepers to re-
tire from business, and the dishonest
ones may seek to make a sale of their
effects to insurance companies.
CARS FOR TRANSPORTING FRUIT.
SACRAMENTO, Cal, April Armour
& Co., the Chicago packers, have begun
their new refrigerator car service,
which will be known as the fruit
growers express. They have issued a
schedule showing a cut in prices for
refrigerator cars from California to
eastern points of from S35 to 800 under
the rates of the old companies, being a
cut of from 30 to 5Oper cent. The new
company starts with 400 new cars and
Armour promises as many more as
business may require.

Treasury Officials Say There Is No Need of

WASHINGTON, April 4. = Treasury
officials say there is absolutely no &C.
casion for an extra session OF congress
for the purpose of providing revenue
to carry on the government, even
should the income tax be declared I'M
constitutional. There has been a
steady increase of late in both the
customs and internal revenue receipts,
due to the improvement of business,
but even if ordinary importations re-
main stationary a marked increase in
revenue is expected by the treasury
from the imports from sugar.
