MISSING.
Alleged Forged Note.
State Finds Itself Badly
Handicapped.
Claimed Norris Attorneys
Have 1t.
Prosecutor Demands That 1t be
Produced.
Jury Secured Without Trouble-TriaI
Is New On.

The note, alleged to have been
forged by Attorney w. A. Norris, Is
not in evidence.
In opening the case Monday morn
ing Prosecutor Wanamaker admit
ted that he did not have possession
of this important instrument, on
which the whole case is based.
This means that the State is at a
great disadvantage in its prosecu-
tion of the charges. AS it now
stands it must first establish the
fact of the existence of the alleged
note and then prove that it was
executed by Norris.
The note which the state charges
was forged by Norris was dated June
12, 1897. The names of 1. p. Work.
man, Emma A. Workman and Han
nah Messer are alleged to have beer
forged to it by Norris. The note
Emmons s. Oviatt claims, was sold
to him. Its face value was $500
When it was presented to the alleged
maker, they refused payment, on the
ground that their names were forged
Later, it is alleged Oviatt was pait
the full amount by Norris, who agair
got possession of the note. Just
where it is now is a question. The
state claims it is in the hands of E.
F. Voris, one of the attorneys fol
Norris. Prosecutor Wanamakel
asks that Mr.. Voris be ordered tt
produce it or have Photographic
copy made of the same. The cour
has not passed on the question.
There was but little trouble exper
fenced in getting jury. Mr.. Oviati
was the first witness called for the
State.

not enough remains will be found
to fill a bushell basket, SO thour-
oughly did the fire do its work. A
clock has been found stopped at
2:49 which marks the time when the

how quickly the whole building

Referred to S. d.. Legislature.
Philadelphia Record.

No wonder some of the representa-
tives in congress who look a little be-
yond their noses are beginning TO feel
apprehension of the weight of the load
they are piling on the back of the tax
payer. A footing of the appropriations
of congress already practically agreed
upon shows a total of over 100000 900.
This leaves out of consideration the
Nicaragua canal bill, the shipping sub
sidy bill, Cuban claims, Pacific cable
and other treasury bleeding schemes
which would call for $200,009, 900 and
S309,000,0O0 of eventual expenditures.
Ii is psoposed to spend 81 for every 81

cial gait without being oSertaken by dis

Christmas at rlaniIa,

The words that head this para
graph now and forever more will
but serve to recall the brain picture
Of possibly the strangest and yet the
l~olliest Christmas ever experienced
by the rank and file Of the Eighth
Army Corps.-Christmas has been
borne by on the century traversing
wings Of Time and new years day is
ilnow a thing of the pasta past which
never will be forgotten.
Though thousands of miles of
and and water seperats us from our
I'mothers and sweethrart's yet distance
only accumulated the preciousness
! of the remembrances from them;
4, sHome sweet Home" has not seemed
so far and vet so near for months
ipast, and brothers and beaux had to
exert all their energies to prevent
j that longing for a sight of those
back Ia the states" from overwhelm-
II ing them.
d The American Soldier extended in
last issue its heartiest wishes for "a
/ Merry Christmas, and to day it hopes
that ali may be we'll with US through
put tie coming year.
II The somnolent in habitants of this
semi tropical island were shown how
i~fervently and earnestly an American
, celebrates the day of all natal days
and although the few fracases that
occurred were ayo;dable, yet their
lack of serious results partly serves
as a condonement, and the full heart
ed feeling of kindness and good
cheer that prevailed the atmosphere

Isate for those mistakes.

halls of the organization in barracks

blotch Of sorrow; The ebullition of
enthusiasm that flooded the streets
of town after dark are pages of jolly
incident and merry carousal that will
always be remembered.

Victory Almost in Sight.

The favora lie reports from the
House Committee on Merchant
Marine and Fisheries and the Senate
Commerce Commute on the Ameri-
ca shipping revival bill, introduced
respectively by Representative Pay
ne and Senator Hanna, brings the
10 ng-looked for and equally long
hoped for victory for American ship
ping revival ~measurably in sight.
There is no doubt of the bill passing
the House by a rousing majority,
and any day this inspiring sight may
be witnessed and the fact heralded
to the nation. In the Senate mat
tiers move more slowly, and the n
danger hat exists is hat the pres
sing need of passing appropriation
aud other such bills may force aside
the co nsideration of the shipping
bill. Such a result would be a nat
ional calamity, and if the friends of
shipping who are interested in the
success Of this are as alert
as they ought to be, the bill will
PROFESSIONALLY pass.
IN,
The effect of the passage of this
bill will be that millions Of tons of
American iron ore. and coal and
linn rstone, and millions of feet of
timber, for which there is now no
marke in the United States, and
hence no demand, viii find a new
market in this country. To take the
raw material thus needed from it's
present location TO the mills where
it is transformed into the needed
shapes for use in s~hipbuilding means
additional millions Of dollars to
A merican transportation agencies;
in the mills there will be employ
ment for thousands of additional
skilled mechanics and laborers;
again the transportation agencies
will carry these pr ducts to the sea
board where American skilled labor
will transform them into ships. to be
owned and manned by u W citi-
zrns. to o forth upon the high seas
10 compete with the foreign ships

carving. The passage of this ship
ping bill will, above all other things

Would not Suit Politicians.
H~erald-Advance Milbank.


The United States senatorial fights
that are and have been wagering through
out the country, causing extra expense
to the people, adds more weight to the
argument that they should be elected by
the direct vote of the people. Clarke,
the multi millionaire, paid hard cash for
his toga, so goes the charge. But the
politicians are not in favor of the idea
for the reason it would, to a certain de
gree, render their check book less effect
i've and at the same time give the man
without wealth a slight show, at least.
