Jealousy of a Mustache Causes a
Dramatic Incident.

New York, Oct. 5-Carrying one-half of
his formidable mustache in a paper parcel
and wearing the other half where nature
had bestowed it, Norris Glickman roamed
from pillar to post in search of justice.
His pilgrimage began when he told his
story to James F. Delaney, clerk of the
Fifth municipal court.
Mr.. Delaney noticed that the surviving
half of his visitors mustache positively
curled with ire as he dilated the base
ness of his employer, Morris Davis, who
had robbed his face of its most distin-
guished adornment by means of a pair of
shears. This had happened when Click

visit to a barber who had trimmed his

mustache was so beautiful, explained
Glickman. Its equal was not in Amer

side; but Davis muStache IS OF no account

a pretty good hair cut, but not so much of
a shave And then he grabs me by the
neck and cuts my mustache-zip! zip!-

enough iongsS coal-biack hair to make a
respectable whisk broom. And here IS
stubble on the off side of his lip. " It was
worth $500 to me, but I'll make it $3.50
Mr. Delaney explained that the Fourth
district court had jurisdiction in mustache

court, which he reached yesterday morn

story sympathe tically and held post

Glickman, raising his hands toward the

WALTERS ON A STRIKE.
Visitors to Kansas City Restaurant

Kansas City, Mo, Oct. 5-An the res
taurant walters in Kansas City have
gone on a strike Only IS a day and
found will coax them off the high pedes-
tai of their haughtiness and even at that
price they are 10th to pick up the tray
and don the habiliments of servitude.
While the walters hold out for bet
ter wages the restaurant men of Kan
sas City do nothing but sit behind their
desks and watch thousands of half
famished people make the best of it.
Yesterday one of the restaurant men
walked up to a score of walters who
were standing on the corner waiting for
something to hit them.
'I'll give you 50 a day" said he, ad-
dressing the entire lot.
'Ha, ha-ha, ha," came from twenty
lusty Threats.
I'm make it $3.50"
'Ha ha, ha ha, ha haW,'' laughed the
crowd in derision.
You can go straight up declared

myself before I'll give you more" and
he walked off, while the walters hoOted
at him numerically. Yesterday noon
the restauranteur was doing head wait

Says Republicans Will Garry the
Country This Year.

New York. Oct. 5.-Senator NJ. A.
Hanna of Ohio, chairman of the repub-
Hcan national committee, was at the
Republican state headquarters in the
Fifth Avenue hotel for a short time
this morning. He said that he was
pleased to find so much enthusiasm in
this state, and that he had no doubt
of the election of the entire republican
ticket by a large majority. Senator
Hanna spoke briefly of the outlook for
the next congress. He said: 4 have
gone over the situation very carefully
with the congressional committee, and
I am confident that the republicans will
have a safe majority in the next house.
While the house of representatives is
usually lost to the party in power in
the second year, I don't believe that
the rule will hold good this time.
There is less apathy than usual
among the voters, and in every close or
doubtful district we are making an
energetic fight in behalf of our candi-
dates Reports from all over the cOun-
try Indicate that the republicans will

Vancouver, B. C., Oct 5.-The Pacific
coast agents of the Canadian Steam
ship company give as the reason for
putting the Tartar and Athenian, their
1000 ton steamships on the run between
Vancouver. Portland, Viadivostok and
China, that the trade between the Or
lent and America has grown to enor-
nous proportions.
The three 5000 ton steamships, En-
press of China, Empress of India, and
Empress of Japan, were in the habit of
leaving behind about SEQ tons of freight.
The Tartar and Athenian will handle
the supplies for the Transsiberian rail-
road and then proceed to Hong Kong to
help the Canadian Pacific railway EN-
press line. More steamships may yet
be put on.

FOOLED THE SHERIFF.
Country Girls Who Play a Trick on
the officers.

This is q. story of how unsophistica-
ted country girls outwitted Sheriff Cook
and his deputies.
They are the Demerit sisters and they
live just over the line in Jackson coun-
ty. Monday they disguised Minnie
Huess, former resident of the BelOit
reformatOry and introduced her to the
officers who were looking for her as a
girl friend from a neighbOring farm
house.
The Huess girl was taken out of the
BeIoit refOrmatOry ten days ago by
Sheriff Cook and brought to his resi-
dence at the county jail in this city to
work as a servant. She had been sent
to reformatOry for stealing silk amount
reasons.
At first her actions gave evidence OF
desire to reform, but the anticipations
of the Cook family in this direction
were suddenly cut short one day last
week when it was discovered that Min
ME had departed during the night.
Sheriff Cook at once instituted a
search for the missing girl, and infor-
nation was received which caused the
officers to believe that she was at the
nome of the Demerit family, not far
from HOyt. When the officers reached
there with a warrant for her arrest,
they found only three girls in the house.
Two of the girls looked enough alike to
proclaim relationship, and the third girl
was introduced as neighboring friend.
Her dress did not correspond to the
description of raiment the officers held
and they took the word of the innocent
country sisters. They left the house,
but had not left the locality when they
were told that they had been fooled
and the third girl at the Dement,
home was the one they wanted.
When they returned the third girl had
returned hOme'' The Demerit sisters
protested that the officers were mista-
ken in thinking she was the Huesse girl,
but to make sure they would not be
fooled again the two girls were brought
to this city, and taken to the county
Jail last night.
Today they confessed the whereabouts
of the Huess girl and were released. The

Bryant.
When Magistrate Steers arraigned
the first scOrcher, he pleaded and
walked over to the chief clerk and with
the remark this will make me little
bit even" handed him five dollars in
pennies. The chief clerk frowned. The
second and third did the same, and by
the time the fifth and last scorcher was
arraigned Clerk Smith was nearly bur
led beneath a pile of pennies.
