nighwaymen Made Two Good Hauls In
Chicago and Got Away.
CHICAGO, July 9.-Three highwaymen
armed with revolvers held up trolley
car on the Cicero & Proviso line last
night and robbed the conductor, mo-
torman, and the passengers of their
watches and money. They secured
several silver watches, three gold
watches and about 500 in money.
They escaped without being pursued.
The robbery took place just outside of
the city limits.
Within an hour after The holdup in
Cicero five highwaymen boarded an
Archer avenue electric car at Thirty
Eighth street and Kenzie avenue, and,
after covering the motorman and con-
ductor with revolvers, secured $50, a
watch and a revolver. The robbers
all wore masks and did their work so
quickly that after they had disappeared
the motorman and conductor were un-
able TO give a description of them.

TOPEKA, Kan, July S.--Gov. Leedy
yesterday RENTED the fines Of James
Newkirk, William Bennett, Louis
Loebner and William Bader, four
jointkeepers at Dodge City. These
jointists were convicted and sentenced
toimprisonment and to pay fines. They
have served out their time, but are I'M
able to pay the fines and are being
held in custody on that account. This
does not release them, however. The
county commissioners must remit the
costs before they can get out. The
governor said he RENTED the fines
because none of them had any money
and there was no way possible to get
them to work it out He thought per-
haps they might profit by their long
confinement and go to work in the
harvest fields out there, where labor is
in such great demand.

4 Good Bill 10 Kill.

Assem- blyman Mcdonald introduced
bin in the assembly some time ago
and has succeeded in having it passed
by that body, which ought to be killed
in the senate. We have been disap-
pointed in getting copy Of The bill
but are creditbly informed that it
provides that records Of the register Of
deeds in this county relating to births,
deaths and marriages shall be legal
lied so as to become prima facie evil
dence of the occurrences they purport
to record.
What good purpose law Of that
kind could serve is difficult to state.
If the records are wrong in certain
particulars, legalizing them win GER
tainly not make them correct. 1t
could hardly be contended that if by
mistake the death is recorded Of a
man who is living and well. that the
passage Of this bill would kill him.
What joke it would be on certain
old bachelors and married couples
with small families if just before the
final passage Of the bill the register
should enlarge the birth record on his
books and they find themselves the
legal parents Of troop of ..prima
facie" cherubs!
Would Jane and Mary have to trade
husbands if by chance the registers
clerk should get the names of their
husbands mixed up in the recordsP
Another question and more ser
ions one to taxpayers is what would
be the effect on the disallowed claims
Of registers for illega. entries. II the
bill should pass, Grant county would
have to pay back to Mr.. BETTER the
500 disallowed him or be in the
ridiculous attitude Of refusing to pay
the statutory fees for proper legal rec
ords.
Our county board is certainly able
10 take care Of the registers birth and
death record without interference by
the legislature The bill has a sus-
pieious look aud certainly ought not

TO DESTROY GREECE.

London, March 1.-The Daily Chroni-
Gle announces that formal ultimatum
has been delivered to Greece, announc-
ing that the blockade of Crete and Ger
tain Greek ports, not yet named, will
begin on Wednesday. Some of the
powers have decided that unless Greece
yields, or if she declares war on Turkey,
measures still more severe will be en-
ployed, even to the point of utterly de-
stroying Greece as a nation.
1t is thought that the simplest way
to carry out the threat made in the
identical note will be the blockading of
the Cretan ports and the landing of
forces sufficient to insure the main
tenance of order, leaving future action
as to the fate of Crete to later negotia-
tions. This was the view of Russia at
the outset 9

Deafness Cannot BE curea

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
lnhamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is intlamed YOU have rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restor-
ed to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh. which
is nothing but an intlamed condition
of the mucous surfaces

income revenue for the new fiscal year

there will be an enormous deficit, reach
