An Ex-Convict Makes Free With the
Jewe1ry of an Actor.
Eugene Girard alias Emiol Girardieu,
has been booked at the City Prison on
charge OF petty larceny. The charge, how
ever, having been preceded by prior con-
victions on the same grounds magnifies it
to the degree of felony.
On March Girard entered the dressing
room OF Frank H. Crane at the Baldwin
Theater and stole silver watch. On March
9 he entered the jewelrystore of Erick
Puthon, at 508 Bush street, and while the
proprietor was III the rear OF the place stole
a silver and gold watch.
Detectives Harper and Bee have recov-
cred the three watches.
Girard served three months in the Coun-
ty Jail, dating November 1894, on con-
viction of petty larceny, and on August s,
1895, he was again convicted and sem
fenced to six months Imprisonment for
similar offense

Messrs. Evans & WOrley paid us a
call Yesterday and said they were
here, in fact had been here for
three weeks, taking down names
and classifying the same under pro
per headings, for city directory.
They have gone over the entire city
residence portion complete census
of the city and will begin now on
the business portion of the city and
make a list of the firms doing busi-
ness here. After this is all done
they will have it put in type and
printed in a nice city directory.
This is what our city needs and as
the last one was printed 1894, before
the houses we're numbered and in
asmuch as all the names of the
streets running east and west have
been changed in name since the
last directory has been printed, a
new one is almost imperative. We
ask our business men to subscribe
and advertise in it literally and help
place them in every business house
and home ia the city. These gentle
men will wait on you and tell you
the balance.

Alderman Mullins is a progressive
man and of course is in the right
place in the council. He wants to
see improvements going on, yet he
does not wish to work a hardship
on the people. He is opposed to the
stock running at large and he has
rs per cent of the people backing
him in this. He will attend the
meetings regularly and see that
every ordinance passed is tempered
with justice with all the mercy
surrounding it he can inject into
the subject. He is safe conser-
vative and will make a law maker
in the council or we are woefully
fooled in him.

EX-GOVERNOR Francis Of Missouri to
succeed Nh, Smith as. secretary of the

tonight, more because Of the sudden

ton. The reasons for Secretary
Smiths voluntary withdrawal WeIa un-
derstaod as soon as the announcement
vas made on Saturday, and it was nat
orally expected that, as he retired be-
cause he felt obliged TO support the
nominee Of his party ct Chicago. his
successor would be in full harmony
with Mr.. Cleveland on the money ques-
ton. There was a feeling also that
the president would probably select

Speculation, therefore, went to Mis-

and the administration. 1T is recalled
that when Cleveland was at Lakewood
making up his cabinet, prior to enter
