not necessary to dilate upon tho har-

to say that the thief was the porter

due to the woman's ca~relessness.

effective sort, the two women sat to-

They had plenty of other money

to bring the thief to justice or to
get anybody to do anything at all
adequate to the occasion. Finally

derstood that mine is not the worst
name in the world. Once while I

Encouraging.

II am encouraged" said q man
who has lately had a prolonged
struggle with a financial cyclone
from which the cyclone came out
decidedly ahead, "by the fact that
the beggars don't pass me by-they
range alongside as I walk up Broad
way, and ask for the price of a meal
just as they did before. am aware
that the beggar asks eyerybody-to
ask costs nothing but tho effort of
asking but he wouldn't ask O
wooden man or a stone man; he
wouldn't waste effort ON anybody
unless he thought there was some
chance of his responding. The
point is that this connoisseur of
human nature still Classics me as
among the possibilities. l look to
him like q man still in the process
sion and with q dollar in his pocket.
I am grateful to him for this friend
ly opinion, and won't forget it"

AN ITEM.

A republican ex-county official who
has the reputation of being the most
unfair. stealthy and cunning political
heller ever in Barber county filled up
with bug juice Monday night and was
talking loudly and finding much fault
with Judge McKay's political methods,
when a gentleman jocularly remark
ed that any politician who had been as
smooth ss he should not object to lit
tie matters of that kind, whereupon the
ex-county official flew into a rage and
with uplifted cane threatened dire ven-
geance upon the joker for ever insinu-
ating that he was a trifle more smooth
than oil politically. The bluff. how
ever, did not work and the Joker frank
ly informed the irate Individual that
he was the most cunning, smooth and
unfair politician eyer in Barber county
and If any farther demonstrations were
made he would smash him Just for luck,
At this stage of the game friendly by
ISLANDERS interfered. The whisky died
away In its capacious receptical and a
breach of the peace was aYerted.

The program was contributed to by

Louis humm and Gus. Digger were
arrested by the city marshal Sunday
night and placed in Jail. On Monday
Mr.. Kumm was given over to the state
when warrant was served on him for
burglary. Mr.. Digger was taken be-
fore the police judge and pleaded gull
ty to being drunk and was fined SIS,
The prisoner was unable to raise the
money and was put back in jail where
he is at present resting as easy as the
circumstances will permit. Mr.. Kumm
was taken before Justice Morris Mon
day afternoon and his bond was fixed
at $500 which he failed to give and
consequently he shares the company of
his brother in distress. Mr.. Kumm's
preliminary hearing occurs on the 18th
inst. Ed Sample will appear as de-
fendant's counsel. From what we
have been able to learn the facts are
these: Messrs. Digger and Kumm
had been drinking freely during most
of Sunday and about 10 O'Clock d. M.
they were drunk enough to be reckless,
hour before mentioned Mr.. KS appe-
tite for oysters became burdensome
and he resolved to get them. According
~ he went to the back door of LualIen's
restaurant and broke out window
pane and was soon staggering in among
oysters, snakes and everything under
the sun. Mrs. Stockstill saw him make
the entrance and soon informed her
husband, the city marshal, of what
she had seen and our friend Kumm,
was soon a captured man. After the
prisoner was put In safe keeping the
sheriff and marshal made a search for
Mr.. Digger and he, too was placed be-
hind the bars. Though this turn of
events has afforded amusement for
some, it is deplored by the great ma
lority OF our citizens. Whisky has
brought these two men into great
deal of trouble, who, when sober are as
fine young men as can be found IN any
community. Both have enjoyed good
reputation in the cities in which they
formerly resided and before this unfor-
tunate event. have enjoyed the good
will and confidence of everybody here.
Mr.. Dugger's fine will probably be
raised by friends before many more
days have passed and he will be free
man again. With Mr.. Kumm, things
do not look quite so favorable; the
charge is grave one and it is even be-
| ing limited that those interested in the
prosecution will endeaYor to bring evil
dence to support charge of his having
entered the same house a week ago
when the $40 were stolen. 1t Will re-
| guire great deal of evidence to con-
vince most OF the people here that he is
| guilty of that theft as he is q young
man whose honesty has never been
questioned before. From what we car
learn he was very badly intoxicated and
didn't really know what he was doing
We hope matters will so arrange them.
selves that he will be able to prove his
| innocence beyond doubt.
Later: Mr.. Dugger's fine was raised
by friends last night and he is now al
large again. He has the election day
| to thank for this turn OF events.1
