Recently we Mad sack of flour at
our mill purchased in the regular way
from a reputable merchant in this
town. We made several tests of the
so-called -four and found it to contain
about p per cent of corn flour or corn
starch. SThe Modern Miller says that
the mixing OF any other substance
with flour and selling it for flour is a
swindle.'
The congress of the United States
is now celebrating on this subject
with a view to making it a crime
Whenever -four is sold for less
money than the wheat is worth, it is
prima facie evidence that there is
something in the flour besides Hour.
We Will ray to any person S5O0.00
who will demonstrate that any flour
made by us contains one ounce of
anything but pure, sweet wheat flour.
BE sure that High Patent" or
"White House" is on every sack. You
can rest assured that there is none
better. Sold by all grocers.

II1HE OPENING next )

tISHE OPENING next Monday
l. night of our new opera house is
an event which our people should by
nc means miss. For some years the
city has been without a play house,
and this has been an injury in more
ways than simply the deprival of oc-
casionally witnessing theatrical per-
fOrmance. Now that Mr.. IrOnside
has provided one, a spirit of cordial
appreciation should be shown. The
house is spacious, comfortably seating
900 persons; the stage is large and
well equipped, and on the whole, the
establishment is credit TO so pros
perous a city as Vinita, and that is
saying great deal. Joe Butter, the
manager, has secured for the week
the Graham Earle company, which is
endorsed as a truly meritorious or
ganizat ion. ''The Inside Track" -"
their opening performance, is SEN
satiolal comedy, depending to no lit
tie extent upon scenic effects for its
artistic production. Seats may be
procured at Winners drug store at 25,

Miami Notes.

Main street has been graded and grav-
eled for three blocks and now is all anyone
could desire.
What Miami most needs is an excellent
hotel building. and TO person desirOus of
this class Of investment, no better place can
be found.
The electric light plant is expected 10 be
in operation by the middle Of next month.
Poles have been put in. and power will be
furnished 10y the Miami roller mills.
The farmers OF this section took advan-
tage OF the nice weather of the early part of
this month. and much of the corn land has
been plowed.
The heavy rains and the snow Of the
past few days have replenished the many
empty cisterns. furnished stock water, and
materially benefited the wheat.
Miami and the adjacent country con
tinae to improve. About forty new build
ings have been erected in nearly as many
days. Robards & Early have let the con-
tract for a fine two-story store building. 100
feet deep. across the street from the McWil-
liams block.
Many tracts OF the Miami and Peoria
lands have been purchased during this win
ter. and several white farmers now really
own with the accent on the own their
places. The last Indian appropriation bill
contained a clause allowing all adult allot-
tees Of the abOve-named tribes To sell 100
acres. Several farmers from the Cherokee
nation. south of Alton and Fairland. have
cast their lots with the people Of this sec
tion.
A man with chain around his leg,
thought to be an escaped prisoner, was
seen down the track Tuesday night.

MlF THE PLAY, "The Inside
" Track" to open our new opera
house next Monday, the Chicago
Times-Herald says; 1.-The Inside
Track is at the Bijou this week and
doing an excellent business. Graham
Earle and Cora Hammel Earle, the
stars, have evidently found a warm
place in the hearts of the west side
theatre goers. The company with
which Mgr. ROsskan has surrounded
them is strong and well balanced, and
the fire scene Of the fourth act is one
of the most realistic ever seen in Chi
cago. Sensational comedy is what
these audiences want and they show
their appreciation 10y liberal ap-
plause."

"triininaI Type" Nonsense.

A few years ago most of us had con
side able faith in Lombroso's "crim-
ina! type" We looked at our lobes
and finger nails and thought we de-
tected in them the "stigma of degen-
Grafton"
This illusion was lost when it YVES
found that in fact the criminal was
about as well formed as the jury or
the judge. The ''criminaI type" fell
into oblivion.
Bnt the criminal mind remained.
The psychology ofevildoers must have
something in it radically different from
that of respectable people We
forgot the force of the Rev. ohm New
tons saying when he saw thief led
to the gallows: "There goes John New
ton but for the grace of God"
Now, however, such authorities as
Nacke and Baer and Dallemagne have
pronounced the whole editice of
criminal psychology phantom and
delusion. Criminals are just like
other people of their sex, age and
condition in life. They are tempted,
fall aud are caught especially the LAST
and that is the only difference.

TINY Electric Motor.

An inventive genius has just
constructed what he claims to be
the smallest electric motor in the
world. 1t is in the form of scarfpin,
and is so small that it does not cover
a silver dime, and weighs only 9-1OO
OF an ounce. The arnlature is about
the size of small slate pencil. The
front of the motor is of gold, highly
polished, and the commutator seq
ments are also of the same metal. 1t
is only when standing near the wearer
of the scarfpin that its nature can be
discovered. The first thing to at
tract attention is the buzzing of the
machine, which by means of current
obtained from a small chloride of
silver battery carried in the vest pocket
is kept in operation at Il high rate of
speed, and with noise like that OF
small nest ofhornets. Chicago Jour-

Is Moore Still Wanted!

Boston, Sept. 29.-Chief Inspector
Watts received a telegram from Mar
ietta, o.. yesterday asking whether or
not Frederick Il. Moore was still wanted
The chief answered Immediately that
the man was wanted here very much.
The reward of $4,000 offered some months
ago by the National Bank Of Commerce
for the capture of it's former assistant
teller has never been recalled.
The telegram was prompted by the sus-
picion that a man giving the name o!
Hans Henry Capers of New York and
New Orleans, who was married there
u day or two ago to a girl Of 49, may b.
Moore. The judge who issued the mar
riage license was shown photograph of
Moore and was struck by the similarity
between Moore and the man to whom
the license had been granted. Then it
is said that the writing of "Capers" on
the marriage record and specimen OF
Moore's writing were compared, and
that the similarity was marked.

POPE LEoS RICHES.

Estimated at o2O,O 900 900 - He Owns .
Diamond Valued at &t,OOO,OOO.
Pope Leo XIII is said to have accu-
INFLATED more wealth during his pom
liticate than any of his predecessors
in the chair of st. Peter. Plus TX
collected $40, 900, 900, and that was
looked upon as large sum. But Leo
is said to have acquired twice as much
for the Vatican. The greater part Of
the money is said to be deposited in
the Bank of England, and the remain
der rests in various other European
banks. 1t is said that the Holy See
is now free from debt, the few
obligations remaining ut the death
of Plus TX having been settled by
Leo. The annual budget of the Vati-
can is said to show II yearly surplus.
How much Of the money collected
by Leo XIII was given to him for his
personal benefit and how much for
the Holy See is not known. The value
of personal presents made to him since
lie came to the Papal throne Is said,
however, to. exceed 80, 600, 900, and
the objects are 50 numerous as to
constitute collection worthy to be
placed in museum. Plus TX re-
ceived possibly as many, but he is
said to have given them away as rap
idly as he received them, and for that
reason he never accumulated so many
as are owned by Leo XIII, who has
kept all his.
Some idea of the value of them may
he gathered fro IL the fact that Presi-
dent Kruger gave him diamond
worth "a, 900, 900. Such gifts are, OF
course, rare, but his collection con-
tains % tiaras of gold set with all
kinds of precious stones, 3l9 crosses
of gold ornamented in the same way
and 1900 chalices in gold and silver,
engraved and ornamented with pre-
cious stones. OF the 81 valuable
rings that he owns, the Sultan gave
one that cost 100000. He has l6
pastoral stats of gold set with stones
and 1854 ostensorii for the exposition
of the sacrament. Seven statues in
gold and silver are part of his posses
sions, in addition to more than 1000
other objects of great actual and ar
tistic value. The Kruger diamond is
said to he the largest in the world.
