ers' Board of Trade, Spreckels' Market
San Francisco, Cal.-My Dear Sir:
am in receipt of your circular of date
October, 1898, inciosing draft of a new
law which you say has been framed
for the protection of merchants and
retailers, more particularly butchers
and grocers.''
You ask my views on the bin inclosed
and state in conclusion, IF we do not
hear from you we shall conclude thai
you are against the bill and your name
will be published as it's opponent"
You also state that if / forward got
my views you will have them published
in certain newspapers.
In reply I have to say that I an
opposed to the bill forwarded and shall
be pleased to have my name published
as its opponent.
l do not believe in making the wife
responsible for family debts.
Neither do / think Imprisonment fol
debt, which is really what your bill
seeks TO enact into a law, should ever
again be the law in America. VERY
truly yours,

10 Customers Yesterday.

Yesterday we were favored
with a visit from large retail
merchant in large city He went

greater still if more people were
familiar with Our goods, Our low
prices and just treatment.

SHOWED BOGUS CHECKS.
Strange Young Man yictimizes several
Grafton People.
..lat.lon sentinel.

Last Friday nice, mild looking
young man OF pleasant address came
to the home OF Otha Moran, who
lives on the Marion side OF the line be-
tween Taylor and her sister county,
about 10 miles northwest of Grafton.
He was about 20 years of age appar-
entity, and said he wanted work. Mr..
Moran engaged him for the summer,
the Young man made himself quite
useful about the place, helping the
women milk the cows and doing
many other things about the premis-
es that soon won for HIM the good
wishes of the ladies OF the house
hold. But all this confidence in the
young man was soon dissipated, for
on Wednesday morning OF this
week, Mr.. Moran missed his new
employee from the house and
he beg n to investigate. He first
discovered he was out an umbrella,
next he found his watch was gone;
then he discovered that his check
book. two or threee cash books and
other valuable papers were missing.
Without further delay Mr.. Moran
mounted his horse and came to
Grafton. He had not been here long
waen he learned that the young man
was here ahead OF him and that he
was still manifesting the same in
dustry that he had displayed about
Mr. Morans premises, only in a
more profitable way to himself. With
the aid of the stolen check book he
had been replenishing his cash quite
literally. He stopped first at Fet-
terman, where he purchased few
trifing articles of merchant Geo. w.
Travis and gave Mr. Travis a check
for 1920 signed by Mr.. Moran, and
got the difference in cash. He then
came on to this city and went to
the Exchange mills and bought some
flour and presented another check
for $3.50 and got the difference lin
cash, about S26 He then went to
Thos McAvay and offered him a
check for s., which purported to
have Mr. Moran's signature. Mr..
McAvay took the check and went to
the bank to see if the signature was
good. When he returned the young
man had skipped. The checks were
all drawn on the M. Il NJ bank and
the cashier had no trouble in recog
nizing the fact that they were for
geries As soon as Mr.. Moran heard
of the checks he at once procured a
warrant for the young man who gave
his name as C. f. Smith, and the of
ficers started in pursuit. Smith left
on the train at noon toward Wheel
ing and has not been caught so far.

THE WAR PROGRESS.
A Few of the Things that have
been done in the last
twenty-fou hours.

More than three times as
much as has been wanted has
been offered for the new war
loan and the effect abroad is
very good for the government.
The annexation bill has
been reported to the senate
and that body is expected to
pass 1t as aapidly as any bill
can go through it and the
president is very anxious to
sign it.
United States consul at
Kingston has been SO bother
ed by Spanish spies that he
has been compelled to leave
the hotel at which he was
staying.
General Miles is very we'll
pleased with the condition of
the troops and has made a
very pleasing. report to the
war department with which
he is in consultation.
A bill has been reported
in Congress making Hobson
lieutenant commander
which is very great advance
in promotion. 1t will pass.
On account of the strength
ening of the Spaniards de-
lenses at Porto Rico~the fight
for the island is expected to
prove a very hard one.
General Garcia has prom1S-
ed to place the Cuban insur-
gents under the direction of
the forces from the United
States and he will assist them
in landing and maintaining
themselves on the island all
that he can.
The Governor General of
the Philippines and his family
have been taken by the in
surgents who have become
very active.
The Spanish troops IN the
Philippines are now thirty six
hours without food and their
condition is desperate indeed.
They can hold out only a lit
tie while longer.

NO MEN WANTED.
Morgantown is TO be Given the
Throw Down Again.


Only Tour men are to be taken from

Already The Recruits that We're Ex-
peeting to go to Chickamauga will
Not be Taken What was Told us and
What we Published Eaton will be
Here This Afternoon and he win
Probably Explain the Natter Some
of the Recruits are Very Sore over
the Way Things Have GONE.
Morgantown is to be allowed to
furnish but four men for the first
regiment now at Ghickamanga.
This is the word that was received
at this office this morning from
Lieut.. Eaton. No explanations were
made as to the reason for this move.
Dale Grant and Aaron Christopher
and two musicians are to be taken
and no others. Eaton will be here
this afternoon and further informa-
tion may then be gained as to why
this is to be done. When he was
here he stated that he would be back
for two days and that all who want
ed to go would be accommodated.
Later Paul Mccoy was told to have
the men that he had signed to hold
themselves in readiness for the front
and that they would be taken to the
camp. Still later Aaron Christopher
was told that Eaton would be here
on Friday and. that recruits would
then be wanted.
These things were all published In
this paper by the request OF the parties
interested. The men here were gov
erned by it and now they are going
to be very sore over what they regard
as turn down. The men who were
Offering themselves from this place
were for the most part the very kind Of
men that was wanted. They are first
class fellows and would make fine
soldiers. They are very much dis
gusted and are wondering what 1t all
means.
A talk will be had with Lieut..
Eaton but it will be too late for the
paper this afternoon. 1t may change
the looks of things and will be given
to our readers on Monday afternoon.
