BOYS THIRST FOR BEER
Resulted in Their Spending the Night in
Jail.

Resulted in Their Spending the Night in
Harry Higgins and George Bath, two
tough boys Is or 16 years of age, are
in Jail for petit larceny as the outcome
Of an overweening thirst for beer and
an attempt on their part to quench 1t
at the expense of the Centennial brew
cry. These tough youngsters wanted
beer so badly that they concluded that
they needed whole key of it, and they
made a great play for it. One of the
Centennial brewery's wagons drove up
to a North Main street saloon and the
driver went in to inquire how much
of the beverage the saloonkeeper
thought his patrons would require on
a day like yesterday. This was the
opportunity the thirsty youths were
looking for. The driver of the wagon
was no sooner out of sight than they
went about getting what they needed.
1t was the work of very brief
space of time to unload key of beer,
for the boys are a strapping pair,
whose strength, backed by burning
thirst, was fully equal to the emer-
gency They were making good head
way rolling the key down an alley
when the driver reappeared. Observ-
ing he was a key of beer short, he be-
gan looking about to see what had be-
come of it and was informed by a BY
stander of what had TRANSFERRED.
Mr.. Driver yelled Justify for police
man and for once there was one with
ing hearing. In about second the
crowd that had congregated in the
meantime saw a streak of blue shoot
ing down the alley in hot purusit of
the kids, who had taken alarm and
ducked. 1t was a hot sprint, but the
cop proved himself at least as good
as a 10 second man, and the finish
was in his favor. He proudly marched
his captives off to Jail while the driver
of the beer wagon recovered his key
of nectar.
At the Jail the boys were booked for
petit larceny and given quarters in the
woman's department They were later
transferred to the county Jail. Both
boys have been in trouble before, and
it was only few days ago that young
Higgins was arrested and fined for ma
liciously breaking the windows of a
residence.

The order of the Northern Pacific
for 500 fiat cars and 100 coal cars, for
use on the western divisions of the
road, has been filed. Six new locomo-
tives are now on their way west to be
used in freight traffic. They are of the
improved type, and the heaviest design
in use in the West. Box cars are be-

railroad placed in service several

The same line has also in service so
consolidation compound freight en-
gines which provide ample power for
the entire line in addition to what was
already in use. The compound en-
gines were an experiment, but hard
service has proved that they are en-

Stephen A. Douglas, one of the
greatest leaders the Democratic party
ever had, was an ardent advocate of
territorial expansion. In a speech at
Freeport, ILL.,, August q, 1858, he
said:
at is idle to tell me or you that we
have territory enough. Our fathers
supposed that we had enough when
our territory extened to the Mississippi
river, but few years. growth and ex-
pansiOn satisfied them that we needed
more, and Louisiana territory, from
the west branch of the Mississippi to
the British possessions, was acquired.
Then we acquired Oregon, then Cali
fornia and New Mexico. We have
enough now for the present, but this is
young and growing nation. IT
swarms as often as hive of bees, and
as new swarms are turned out each
year, there must be hives in which
they can gather and make their
money.
~ tell you, increase and multiply
and expand is the law of this nations
existence. You cannot limit this great
republic by mere imaginery lines, say
ing, thus far shalt thou 60 and no
farther Any one of you gentlemen
would be foolish to say to a son IL
years old that he is big enough and
must not grow any larger, and in order
to prevent his growth put hoop
around HIM to keep him to his present
size. What would be the result?
Either the hoop would burst and be
rent asunder or the child must die. So
it would be with this great nation.
"With our natural increase, growing
with a rapidity unknown in any other
part of the globe, with the tide of emf
grafton that is fleeing from despotism
in the Old World to seek refuge in our
own, there is a constant torrent pour
ing into this country that requires
more land, more territory upon which
to settle, and just as fast as our interests
and our destiny require additional ter
ritory in the North, in the South, or on
the islands OF the ocean, am for it,"
