Harmless Postal Cards Cause COnstcr-
nation in Local Political Camps.
The Christian Citizenship league of the
Young Peoples Society Of Christian En-
deavor met at the rooms of the Young Mems
Christian association last evening. The
meeting was very largely attended. The
league Is composed of members of the So
c.ety from all of the churches, and its OBJ
ject, as has ben fully stated, is to look after
political matters to the extent of urging
every Christian voter in the city to attend
the primaries and vote at the coming cleo
tion. The meeting was notable for the fact
that there was not a word said about any of
the political candidates. No criticism was
made of the city administration, and no
mention made Of local politics. The only
action was the instruction of the secretary
to purchase a lot OF postal cards and send
one to every Christian voter in the city, re-
gardless of church affiliations, urging him
to go to the primaries and use his best efforts
to select proper men for delegates to the
conventions. When the league adjourned 1t
was to met again Friday night
The creation Of the league and the entry
OF the Endeavorers into politics has created
a good deal of interest, and some apprehen-
sion, especially among men who constitute
and operate the machine" The members
Of the latter close political corporation, which
boasts its ability to make or unmake candi-
dates, have mingled freely with the En-
deovarers, and some of them have Joined

Alexander Was Driven to Stealing.
j. d. Alexander, under arrest for robbing
Rock Island freight cars, found little diff
Guilty in securing $500 bond, upon which he
secured his liberty. II. G. McGee was one of
the bondsmen, and speaking OF the matter
yesterday, he said there would have been
no trouble in getting much larger BOND.
There seems to be a good deal of sympathy
preyalent for Alexander, and his statement
that he was driven to stealing to prevent his
family suffering, is credited by business
men who know him best Alexander has
worked for Wickham Bros. the Pioneer Inn
plement company and the Shugart company.
He was with the Pioneer people for long
time and when changes in business made 1t
necessary to let him out he left their en-
ploy with excellent recommendations. He
worked for Wickhams during the summer as
a hod carrier, and when the building season
was over he was ready and willing to take
any kind of work he could find. After the
big implement fire the only work he was
able to find was little wood saving now
and then He did little OF this work for
a number of the implement men, but his
earnings were not sufficient to support his
family. He says that for the last month II
was either beg, steal OF starVe, anu ne con-
cluded to steal.
Unless the railroad company can succeed
in connecting him with an organized gang
OF thieves il seems probable that the pros
ecutlon will not be as severe as was at first
contemplated. Railroad detectives are work
ing ON the case upon the theory that Alex
ander must have had the assistance OF some
of the railroad men connected with the com
many In Council Bluffs, or 1t would not have
been possible for him to have carried away
large boxes and packages of freight without
datpptiOn. -

OYSTER CATCHES MI
AN
MICE
II Breaks the Record by Catching
Three at a Time.

From time immemorial, writes W. II.
Marris, in Amateur Photography, the
mouse has been classed with the pests
with which mankind has had to deal
The little animal has three leading and
discreditable characteristics l. E., thief
trespasser and destroyer of property. Ii
is therefore not surprising that human
ingenuity has been ever actively en-
ployed against the unwelcome creatures
life
Besides the chemist, with his poisons
and the wood and wire workers, with
their clever devices, the mouse has had
a natural foe in the cat but, notwith-
standing all kinds of snares mice are
not yet exterminated. But since the Gre
alton there has surely not been a more
curious enemy to mice than the one that
has recently distinguished itself at the
fishing metropolis (Grimsby) few weeks
ago.
An oyster was that day placed on the
pantry floor, and during the night, feel
ing thirsty, il opened it's she'll Three
silly, wandering mice were near too,
and, smelling fish, all placed their heads
just inside for taste. This intrusion
was instantly resented by the occupant
Of the shell, and hastily, yet silently,
relentless grab was made, and those fool
ish mice were suddenly executed pris-
oners.
Such thing has been known on oyster
boats here as the capture of a SINGLE
mouse by an oyster, and rats have suf-
fered injuries to legs. ETC., but the trap
ping of three mice simultaneously is a
record for an oyster which l think at
present Is acknowledged a unique feat.
Has the oyster firmly conspired to
GUST the cat from the legitimate occu-
patton for which it has SO long been re-
nowned?
