ROBBERS IN A STORE
They Make Lois Of Noise, but Nobody
Takes the Hint
EARLY MORNING BURGLARY
Thieves Ransack the Establish
ment of Hosey. Judson g. PheIan
and Walk Away With All the
Clothes I hey IAN Carry.

Missoula, May 1.-THE store of Ho-
sey, Judson & Phelan was robbed at
about 2 o'clock this morning, and the
burglars were so bold and noisy in
their work that they were not molest-
ed, although they were heard by sew
eral of the occupants of the upper floors
of the Higgins block, in which the store
is located. Entrance to the store was
gained by forcing the rear door that
opens on the alley. The bolts that
fasten this door held, but the casing
gave way and the men had no trouble
in getting in. Once inside they went
to work to size up the contents of the
establishment and then to take what
they wanted. 1t would appear from
the nature of their work that all they
wanted was some clothing for them
selves, as they did not take anything
else. In the office in the rear of the
store was some clothing that belonged
to Mr. Judson. and they took all of
this. From the store they took some
underwear and neckties as well as a
liberal supply of shirts. They went all
through the store and emptied the con-
tents of many boxes on the floor, but
they did not take any shoes or ladies'
wear, as far as can be learned.
At least three men who sleep in the
upper stories of the building heard the
men in the store, but they were so
noisy tnat none OF those VINO nearu
them had any idea that the noise was
made by any one who had not a right
to be in the store. 1t was not until
Mr.. Hosey came to the store this morn
ing that the burglary was discovered.
Then a hasty inventory of the store
was taken with the above results. The
police have arrested nine men on sus-
picion, but the only evidence against
them is the fact that they are stran-
gers and have the appearance of
tramps. During the early part of the
night there was gang of men about
the city who had evidently just arrived.
There were six of them any they spent
the time from 10 to l o'clock in the sa-
looms where they spent a little money.
They looked like bad men and the po-
lice kept watch for them for a time,
but they disappeared after 1 O'Clock,
and this morning they haven't been To-
Gated. They probably got out of town
on a night freight.

Proof That the Dread Disease May BE
Prevented Bv Inocuittion.
From the London Standard.
DR. Bond, medical officer of health for
Gloucester rural district has issued a
statement giving hospital statistics of the
smallpox epidemic in that city up to April
4. Dr. Bond says:
1T is alleged by anti-vaccinators that
vaccination gives no protection against
small pox. Let us see how far the expe-
rience of the epidemic in Gloucester up to
the present time supports the assertion.
up to March q the cases admitted
into the smallpox hospital since June
last from the city of Gloucester and their
results so far as the cases have yet ter
minated are as follows: Persons attacked.

per cent, or one in H. OF the 20 unvac-
cinated deaths all but three were children
under 10 years of age Two of these three
were II and IL respectively, and the third
was p years of age.

most of those who did die was attribute
BILE i'm part at least to the influence of
other causes. 1t is, therefore, equally
clear that vaccination gives a degree Of
protection against death from smallpox
for the earlier years of life, which is, for
all practical purposes. nearly certain,
even when il does not altogether protect
AGAINST an attack of the disease
THE great majority of the unvaccinated
children who recovered had the disease
very severely, and will be badly disfig-
ured through life. Some of them will be
blind. The great majority of the 15S per-
sons who are recorded as 'vaccinated'
were adults who had been vaccinated In
infancy only. Many of them had very
poor marks, and We're. therefore, badly
protected from the first; and in the re-
mainder the influence of their first vac
cination had more or less faded through
time. and yet most of these imperfectly
protected persons had the disease so
lightly that they will not be disfigured at
all by IL.

sons were as follows: Under 10. 2: under

The split in the prohibition party Is
of national interest, because that is not
only 10y far the oldest of the minor
organizations of the present day, but
it has lived much longer than any
other third party which has ever
figured in American politics. Its first
national ticket was put up in 1872, and
ii has participated in every presidential
campaign from that time Il this. Its
vote ha, grown steadily from the be-
ginning, nevertheless the party never
had any influence in national politics
except in 1851. when the democratic mar
gin was 50 small in the decisive state of
New York that the prohibtionists may
have turned the scale. Very few minor
parties have ever split. bat when one of
them does this its days are numbered.

THE BRITISH NATIONAL REVENUE
Expended by a System Which Makes
Extravaganza Impossible

1t cannot be said that thu is r.g-
orous supervision of the estimates "
the house of commons. Indeed, that
is not possible in the circumstances of
parliamentary life, and happily ii is
hardly necessary. Adequate scruL' ~
of the spending of the national reye-
nue. is supplied by other means. There
is the audit department of the civil
service, whose business it is to exa n.
inc the accounts and vouchers Of he
expenditure of the various branches
OF the public service. But that is not
all. Every session the house appoiIts
public accounts eommittc e--eonsls-
ing of experienced and elear-headad
business men whose duty it is to sa-
pervise the work of the audit depart
ment.
The system by which the pubic
funds of the realm is administered is
indeed beyond suspicion. Under it ex-
trayagance-not to speak OF peeuation
lis impossible, and all the money is
spent on the objects for which It s
voted by parliament. That, no dourt,
is the reason why the sums asked Ior
BY ministers are so readily granted
year after year by the house OF cou-
mons. --Chamber's journal.
