POLICE RECORD TALES !
Pay Day Causes quite a Number Of
Arrests.
The TABLES TURNED ON RAGUS
He Caused the Arrest Of Two Men Charg-
ing Them with Highway Robbery But
They Showed Him Up in Poor
Light Before the Justice

Saturday brought with it number of the
scraps" and other disturbances usual on
pay days and, as one of the consequences,
Justice J. J. Cardin had a crowded docket.
In none of the cases, however, were there
any incidents of thrilling character such
as shooting, or stabbing, which marked a
number of the encounters of the last pay
day.
The most conspicuous was that for which
Frank Ragus stands committed pending pay
ment of the costs. From the facts brought
out at the hearing Ragus is u menace to So
ciety and his proper place is behind the bars.
Late Saturday night he appeared before JUS
tice Cardin and alleged that Mike Batuski
and George Shashinski had waylaid him
on Glover's Hill and robbed him of
Sl05 in cash The accused men were
arrested, but they proved Ragus per-
jurer. They produced a billy which they
took from Ragus. The evidence was that
Ragus was lying in wait for passers-by
on Glover's Hill late Saturday night He
approached Batuski and Shashnsli, but they
caught sight of the billy and quickly turned
the tables on Ragus. After getting the man
down they took the weapon from him and
then gave him few parting reminders with
their fists. They also showed that Ragus had
no money on his person at the time of the
assault. An Englishman who lives near the
scene was a witness for the two accused men.
Justice Cardin became convinced that
Ragus had lied and ordered him to pay the
costs. In default he was committed to the
lookup, and is still there. The Justice says
that many of the Polish and Lithuanian
people have learned that if bill in a case of
larceny is ignored or mol pressed the costs
are always saddled upon the county, and
cannot be put on the prosecutor, and they
strain point to base a charge of larceny, or
highway robbery whenever they want
revenge. The Justice decided to make an
example of Ragus.
At a late hour Saturday night man pre-
senting perfect type Of adversely, or reck-
lessness was found by the police trying to
gain entrance to the basement of house on
Mayberry alley. He could give no explana-
ton to the police, save that he was drunk
and didn't know what he was doing. He re-
mained in the lookup until to-day and was
discharged upon paying the borough fine for
disorderly conduct. He said his name was
Dougherty and that he lived near Mt
Carbon He promised to leave and keep
away from this town.
Eight drunks We're given shelter in tho
lookup Saturday night and three more joined
them last night. All paid fines to escape en-
forced lodgings for IS hours.
Joseph Getritus got drunk Saturday night
and because he could not get more drink at
the saloon of John Ruskofski. on North
White street, he smashed four windows of
the place with a club He was gathered in
by the police and is now in the lookup, wait
ing for his friends to get together sufficient
money to liquidate the damages and costs.

Horse Sale at Pottsville, Pa, on Thurs
day Next.
Waldron, the great Canadian horse shipper,
arrived at Pottsville Saturday with stock Of
fine horses of all descriptions They were
taken to the stock yards stables where they
will be sold next Thursday, at public auction.
Every one in this part of the state
knows how Waldron conducts a sale. He
sells them. When a horse enters the ring he
must find new owner before he leaves it.
Waldron does not waste any time in selling
them. If a horse is worth 5000 and only S25
is bid on it, it will have to go, just the same.
That is what WaldrOn calls an auction, and
anything else is mock auction; and he does
not hold mock auctions for this lot of horses
You can't help but get suited for there are
all kinds TO select from. There are some fine
looking dray teams; also some fine dapplo
gray teams; as fine as ever shipped to this
part. In fact there are horses to suit every
one. 1t will pay the people in this part to
attend this big sale, as it is only short way
there, and if you are in need of horse you
are sure to return with one. Don't forget

Good Advice.

In his letter to the 12Sth annual BAN
uuet of the New York Chamber of
Commerce President Cleveland gave
the following good advice to business
men generally: Recent events may
well cause those who represent busi-
ness interests to rejoice in their escape
from threatened peril. But while they
have abundant reason for rejoicing,
and can view with the greatest salts
faction the support they have given the
cause of sound money, in the contest
lately waged against it. l earnestly
hope that in this time of congratula-
tion it will be remembered that not
only constant vigilance and continued
effort are required to even maintain
present conditions, but that absolute
safety will only be secured when our
financial system is protected by af-
firmative and thorough reforms. When
our business men are habitually alert
and watchful. and when they are,
moreover, fully aroused to the import
ance of such legislative action concern
ing our finances as business methods
approve and the welfare of the entire
country requires, much good may be
confidently anticipated, not only in the
accomplishment of practical results,
but in the removal of hurtful preju-
dices. through an assurance to the peo-
pie that business and patriotism are
becoming more and more united"
In past campaigns it has been with
extreme difficulty that business men
as n class could be aroused to an active
and aggressive interest for good gov
ernment. They have Stunned politics.
Many of them have staid away from
party primaries. Some even declined
or neglected to vote. The presidential
election of 1896 was the first one in
this generation in which business men
almost without exception awoke to their
duties and constituted themselves into
campaign committees. Their particl-
patton in politics was on scale hith-
erto unprecedented. They even had
courage in many cases to take such a
part in the fight for national honor as
meant temporary loss to themselves
in way of offended patronage holding
opposite opinions. 1t was an unusual
and an eventful uprising of the busi-
ness brain and character of the coun-
try in defense of the country's well
fare. and it ought to teach the Amer
ican business man that his place is
in politics. Politics can be made to
reflect business principles If business
men will continue to give their atten-
tion to it. The abuses which drove
many business men out of it i'm past
campaigns can in large measure be
remeded if the business man will do
his part toward remedying them.
BY all means let the good work go on.

TIE MONROE DOCTRINE.
From the Sun.

From the Sun.
What. then. is the present position of the
Monroe doctrine, IN view Of Lord Sails
bury's final consenting to do for the
United States what he persistently re-
fused to do for Venezuela, although he be-
gan by declining to admit that the United
States had any business to meddle with
the boundary Of a British colony? The
position Is this: The Monroe doctrine
has been recognized by the greatest mari
time power upon the globe, not, indeed,
as a law, but as n fact Il massive, tow
ering, insuperable fact. No other Euro
pean state will ever try to surmount the
barrier, which has proved impossible to
even the earth hunger of Great Britain
1t matters nothing to us henceforth that
the Monroe doctrine is no principle of in
ternational Jurisprudence, sanctioned by
congresses Of the powers and embedded
in the text of treaties. 1t is something
better than law. because laws are often
broken; 1t is n notorious. ineffaceable, in
destructble fact. The whole world will
hereafter understand that by virtue of
the might, which Is the ultimate arbiter
of right, we have asserted and shall dis
charge the duty of protecting every
American republic from encroachments
upon its soil at the hands of any Euro
pean nation.

thing.
