less experienced detective would have
rushed off TO South Bend. Mr.. Welch
knew that he was on the trail. He got the
telegraph operator, and together they
partly identified a man. He was arrested
on suspicion.
The paying teller was sent for. He
could not identify the man. but was
doubtful. The man smiled. Take out
your teeth" commanded Detective Welch.
The man took out his front teeth. and the
paying teller and operator both identified
him as w. II. Harris. Mr.. Squires always
wore these teeth at Mount Vernon. but
never when he came TO Seattle to cash
checks.
1t was the letter intended 10 throw the
agent OF the law off the scent that was
the clue The detective had searched
everywhere for a typewriter that had the
same letters. for no two typewriters
print exactly alike to the detective eye
At length he found one, and the arrest
followed Then he got his prisoner to

other men were suspected. but Squres

taken In regard to them.

AN UNHOLY COMBINE. - Last
week the Republicans reorganized
the committees of the Senate. This
they did by virtue of the two ma.
Jority they have over the Democrats
five of the six Populist Senators,
including Stewart and Jones of Ne
vada, declining to vote, and Kyle of
South Dakota voting no. Had the
six Populists, or majority of them,
voted with the Democrats the Re-
publicans would have been power
less to accomplish their purpose
The fact that five of the Populists
abstained from voting, coupled with
the further fact that all of them are
provided with chairmanships under
the Republican scheme of organiza.
ton, if not a clear Indication of a
combine, is proof positive of an at.
tempt on the part of the Republi-
cans to capture the Populist contin.
gent. These six men hold the bal.
ance of power in the Senate. The
country will observe with interest
how 1t will be used.

BUNCOMBE BILLS. - The Rich.
mond Dispatch declares that this is
the proper name for the two money
bills passed by the House and sent
to the Senate. The purpose Of one.
the Dispatch says, is to supply cur
rent revenue that is not needed. and
the purpose of the other is to author
ize the issue Of bonds that cannot be
sold. Mr.. Carlisle is of opinion
that 3 per cent. bond payable i'm
coin, as the bill provides, cannot be
hoated, but that the government
would have no trouble in disposing
OF per cent. bonds payable in gold.
The Republican party favors the re-
demption of all government obIjga-
tions in gold, but for this Mr.. Reed
and his followers in the House did
not have the courage to provide.

UTAH.-The President, on Satur-
day last, issued his proclamation de-
claring Utah to be State in the
American Union. She makes the
10th star in our national banner.
Utah was first explored by the
Spaniards in 1910. The first settle
ments were made by Mormons I'M
der Brigham Young at Salt Lake
City, in lS47, and the territory was
coded to the United States by Mexico
in 1913. In 1910 the Mormons or
ganiZed the State of " Deseret ;" but
on September 9th, 1850, Congress
passed an act creating the Territory
OF Utah and ignoring the State, and
later abolished polygamy. The ter
ritory embraces 81, 900 square miles,
Of which 2,7S0 are water, and has a
mean elevation Of 6,l00. 1t con-
tains 2, 524 artesian wells used chiefly
to irrigate orchards, gardens and
vineyards. The total population in
1890 was 1905, of which 2,OO6
were colored. Salt Lake City, the
capital and metropolis, has 44,S43
souls, with Ogden next with l4,SS4.
Agriculture and mining are the chief
industries.

The -. T.. Dispensnry LAW.

1t appears that the South Carolina
Dispensary law is rapidly growing
In public favor, and il seems proba-
bic that the Carolinians have now
found fairly good solution of the
liquor question. Under this law the
State not only regulates the sale but
owns and sells the liquors, and the
profits 10 the State, which go to the
support Of the public schools, are al
ready so large as to be very impor-
tant part of the States revenues
The profits last year were 5000, 900,
and this year are expected to reach
$500, 900. The benefits Of the law
are numerous and of great import
ance to society. 1t has broken up
the saloons and completely destroyed
the liquor influencc-so potent often
in controlling municipal affairs and
influencing the action of State Leg
islatures. The liquors, which are of
pure quality, are sold In sealed pack.
ages at the State dispensaries, and
are not to be drunk at the place
where sold. The price at which
they are sold is reasonable and so
low that the illegal or clandestine
sale of liquors no longer pays and so
this evil is reduced to the minimum.
The dispensaries are closed on Sun
day and no liquor is sold except in
daylight. The operation of this
law in South Carolina will continue
to be watched with much interest.
