ACROSS A STATE IN A SLEIGH
Merchants Went From st. Joseph to
st. Louis, Mo-, in Eight Days


The snow reminded st. Louis man at a
New York club of an incident in his life.
II was in business in st. Joseph, Mo-" he
said, land the river always froze over in
winter, and we had to travel by stage if we
travelled at all. One winter we had snow
from start to finish, all over the state, and
travel by stage was uncertain.
"The time came for merchants to buy their
spring goods, and as the stages were uncer-
tain, we could not depend upon them. Four
OF us, the principal merchants of the town,
hired sleigh and four horses and started
across the state for st. Louis. We had to
travel over the best roads, and they were
bad enough, so never knew how many miles
we passed. But our driver was good one,
and as the snow did not melt we had a Jolly
trip.
1T was the first of the kind in that state.
When we reached a town the people turned
out, and when they knew lis they enter
tanned us, and in one town! the brass band
and the volunteer fire department. turned
out in our honor. We reached St. Louis in
eight days. l arrived in New York the
other day from Southampton in six days.
cat the time of the sleighing party our
state had not become infested with bandits,
luckily for us. Our party carried nearly
100000 in the straw on the bottom of that
sleigh, and, while We believed our driver
was honest, he knew nothing of the fortune
he was hauling.

THE BATTLE OF BANNING STREET
The Sergeant Battery Bombarded the Rose
Drum Corps

the time he reached the Rose home, SO he
gave the little Rose boy nice, loud-toned
drum. The children went out on the streets
Tuesday to show their presents, and, while
the Sergeant boys held forth on one side of
the pavement with their peashooters the
Rose boy was making the street echo with
his rat-tat tat on the drum. Observing how
warlike the Rose boy appeared the Sergeant
youngsters thought they would see if he
would stand fire. Immediately they leveled
their battery of peashooters at Master Rose,
and soon the tiny missiles began to whistle
about his ears. One of the peas struck
against the side of the drum, and then a
howl went forth from Master Rose. He
would not have cared for his face, but to
have that beloved drum singled out for a
target was more than his little heart could
bear, and he sent up walls and lamentations
Reinforcements arrived in the person of his
mother, who scattered the Sergeant battery
as effectively as if they had been Span
ish army.
y summary of the result of the brief bat
tie showed that Master Rose had not been
struck nor had the drum been damaged at
all. Victory in the field, however. was not
enough for Mrs. Rose. She wanted to rub
it in" She therefore HE'D herself to the
deputy district attorneys office and swore
to complaint against the Sergeant BOYS. A
peace commission composed of Police Judge
Morrison and commonsense will determine
the cause today. The Rose drum and the

handsome gown of white satin brocaded
with lilies of the valley. The trained skirt
was made plain, finished with satin fold,
and the waist garnished with duchesse lace
and pearl passementere. TIE long veil was
caught with a wreath of lilies oil the valley
and she carried a shower bouquet of white
hyacinths and maidenhair ferns, tied with
white satin ribbon. Her only ornament was
crescent Of diamonds, the gift of the
groom.
The BRIDES sister, Miss Anna Chapman,
acted as maid of honor and wore gown Of
embroidered pale blue chiffon over taffeta
silk. The maids were Miss Anna Hen
bricks, the brides cousin, and Mary Chap
man, younger sister. Miss Hendricks gown
was pink net and Miss Chapman's pink
chiffon over taffeta silk. The bouquets
were bridesmaids roses and ferns, tied with
ribbons to match the dresses. The bridal
party entered to the strains of the Swedish
wedding march, played by Arend's orches-
ira, the maid of honor leading, the maids
and bride and groom-elect following. They
took their places in front of the bay win

Again the clerk looked, but he could see
nothing, and he thought he was being made
the victim of some premature April fool
joke.
'"rhs is no time for any joshing. Try your
gag ON somebody else" remarked Hensley.
"Look in front of the desk and see if Pm

enough, when Hensley leaned across the
counter he saw two boys, SO short that their
little heads had not come on a level with the
edge of the counter. George and Eddie Ser
geant were their names, and they had been
arrested on warrant. Mrs. Ettie Rose, a
neighbor, had sworn to the complaint
against the boys, and from the statements
of the arresting officer the nature of the
alleged otfense was as small as the victims
of Mrs. Roses animosity.

A SLICK SWINDEER
A slick swindler giving the name of George
H. Thomas has been orking the neighbor-
hood about Delacy avenue and Orange place.
He rented the house of William e. Mason
last Monday and engaged John Mckee, who
lives opposite at so Orange place, I'd bring
his things from Los Angeles. Mr.. Mckee
hated to go on a holiday, but Thomas was
urgent and got him started to Los Angeles
with an order for 500 on his wife, Mrs.
Thomas, and directions to bring his turni-
ture from his house at 72l Flower street.
After getting started he asked Mckee for
$40, and got so cents. Going back to Mrs.
Mckee, he told her smooth story about his
delicate wife, and got s2.75 from her on the
strength of being new neighbor, which he
was to return when her husband came back
from town with the $40 and the furniture.
He laid his plans well, told plausible story
and played for $40, but only got 1925 and dis
appeared. Mr.. Mckee came back from
Los Angeles without any furniture or holi-
day. There was no such number on Flower
street. He would like to find one George
H. Thomas-he wouldn't do thing to him.
Mr.. Mckee could forgive the $685. but the
long trip ON a holiday, never! The swindler

had offered portions of bicycle fittings for
sale. The officers went to his room, in
the Ordoqui lodging house, corner OF Ala
media and Also streets. A pair of tires,
two pair of pedals, various bicycle imple-
ments and carpenters tools were discov-
cred. Gwinn claimed that he was en-
ployed by Baker & Hamilton and had pur-
chased the goods from that firm. Deputy
Constable Millican went to the residence of
John Lynch, on Ingraham street, to ascer-
tain if the claim of the prisoner was cor
rect. Lynch stated that no such person
was working for the firm. Gwinn was, in

DARING BURGLARS
Broke Into Heinzeman's Drug Store
Tuesday Night

The drug store of G. F. Heinzeman, at
222 North Main street, was entered by bur
glars Tuesday night. The store is located in
the Lanfranco building, adjoining the First
National Bank block. The burglars passed
up a stairway in the latter building, went
on the rear porch, and with the aid of
rope lowered themselves into small court,
upon which the rear door of the drug store
opens. With the aid of an ak and chisel
this door was forced open, the lock being
broken and an iron bar thrown aside.
The cash register was broken and rifed
and several drawers ransacked, but the job
netted ony $500. A surprising feature of
the robbery is the fact that several watch
men pass the store every hour, but they
heard no noise. The only unusual circum-
stance they observed was that gas Jet
which was usually left burning had been
turned out.

GOVERNMENT BUYS EIGHT SHIPS.
Seven Obtained From the Atlantic
Transport Line.

Seven Obtained From the Atlantic
Transport Line.
Washington. June A.-An important adj
dition to the war departments list of yes
sells available for transport service was
announced to-day. This was the rur-
chase of eight large ships of over 5000
tons burden each for use on the Atlantic
coast, except one of the Pacific coast.
Seven were obtained from the Atlantic
Transport line which operates its steamers
from New York, Philadelphia and Balti-
more to London. Heretofore the policy
of the war department has been to chart
er all the vessels which it is to use, and
the announcement to-day of the acquisi-
ton of the ships by purchase is distinctly
a rev departure in the policy of the gov
ernment due it is believed to the fact
that the owners and agents of the various
companies heretofore have asked sucn
high prices.
1t was authoritatively stated to-day that
impressment of ships on the Atlantic
coast would not be resorted to, but such
as were desired would be obtained In ;ome
other way
The purchase price of the ships secured
from the Atlantic Transport Line was Tot
stated at the department, but il is under
stood the amount approximately was $4,000
CO., All the vessels of this line are to be
delivered to the government al New York.
owing to their large capacity for carry
ing passengers and supplies they constitute
a formidable addition to the fleet of forty
one ships already under charter by the
government for transport uses on the At
lantic coast.
To-day's acquisition Is presumed to be a
decidedly forward step in the arrangements
for the Porto Rican expedition, although
the officials of the department decline at
this time to say to what port they will be
ordered.
Added to the dozen ships already availa-
bic for this expedition the eight vessels
make up a feet that will transport an
army fully two-thirds and probably as
large as that which Gen. Shafter took with
him.
