Another Mysterious Robbery on an
Ocean Steamer.

Victoria, B. C., Aug. 1.-THE Miowera
brought from Sydney news of a robbery
resembling in many particulars that
which occurred on the steamship Ala :
media, $4,000 being stolen from the
KOenigen Regente. The steamer ar
rived at Batavia on the 24th Of last
month from Holland, and at once re-
ported that a box containing 1000
pounds in gold for the Java bank had
been stolen. The box with the gold was
put on board at Southampton and was
deposited in the strong room, the KEY
of which is in the custody of the cap
tain and is kept in a chest.
The robbery was so well carried out
that it was not discovered until just af-
ter the steamer left Genoa. The invest
igation that Immediately followed
brought little more to light than sus-
picions against some of the crew. Sea rcn
for the money on the supposition that it
was hidden on board proved fruitless.

Still More Trouble Over Topeka Grain

The muddIe over the state grain inspec-
torship in this city has broken out again
and A. E. Mckenzie, the state Inspector
at the insdgatiOn of the kickers here, has
prepared and will file with the governor
charges against Homer Galloway, the
weighmaster, who has not been permitted
to weigh grain at this point, although he
was duly appointed and qualified for the
place.
T; L Evan did not like Galloway and
as the scales upon which the weighing is
done are the property of the company
which Evan represents he forbade Gal

premises.

RECEIPTS DON'T GO.
Checks With Revenue Stamps Neceso
sarY to Get Money.

David Monday, deputy internal reve-
nue. collector, has been in Topeka warn
ing the Topeka banks not to cash re-
ceipts that are unstamped when offered
IN the place of checks The internal
revenue bureau has recently made a
ruling against the receipt" system Of
drawing money out of banks.
When the war revenue law went into
effect year ago several banks in Kan
sas started to put the receipt system in
to practice. Instead of the customer
making a check when he wanted to
draw money out Of the bank he would
simply make a receipt for the amount
he wanted and the bank would accept
it in the place of a check.
Bank Commissioner Breidenthal
warned the banks of Kansas that such
action would be contrary to the reve-
nue. law, unless the receipt bore a war
revenue stamp, but shortly after he
had made the ruling, word came that
the department at Washington had
held differently, so that many of the
banks of the state have been using the
receipt system. Now the department
has reversed itself and is busy notify
ing the banks of the change.

there is a substantial short interest still

supplied from this class of eleventh hours
bears and timid holders This makes the
one. On the other hand. there is building
up bull party in wheat which is taking
the stand that wheat is at least worth
present prices with possibilities of being
worth much more In our belief, the Rus
sian situation will become a pronounced
factor in the way of stimulating prices
crop with present indicat tons will not be
a burdensome one and the United King
dom and continent wants will be as heavy
as the average of the past two years. This
we may have some setback, we think
more money will be made on this crop
in buying wheat over 20 cents than in
selling it under that price

might be a squeeze in September corn
firrned the market in connection with real

OUR CELEBRATION.

The birds have been practicing glees,
but today
They gave up their concert and flew
away;
And the locusts and grasshoppers,
noisy and shrill,
Could not make themselves heard, and
so they kept still;
And the clustering wind went of in a
huff,
Since nobody noticed how loud he
could puff.
And the clouds rolled up from the west
in row,
For they thought that the noise in the
world below
Was the voice Of the thunder to call
them together,
And so they began to make showery
weather.
And the Man in the Moon, being great
ly perplexed
To know whatever would happen next.
Wished for hands or feet, as well as
a face,
To cover his ears up, or run from his
place.
And the baby stars opened their bright
little eyes,
And stared down below with the great
est surprise
To see how the rockets shot up in the
sky
But they never guessed out
What it all was about,
That we were just keeping the Fourth
of July.
-Peresis Gardiner.

And Louie politely pitched In to
the venison, and old Arizona as polite

Looky herei"
He reached to s root behind him,
and showed Louie a bundle of the
queerest looking crackers"
He laid one on a boulder and lit a
fuse; and didn't Louie jump at the
noise when it cracked that boulder!
Now we'll have some water-works, -
said old Arizona. And he dropped one
with lighted fuse in the creek by
the spruce, and it went off with a
splutter that sent the water to the
spruce's top.
"And now we must have a real big
cannon one" he said; and he put three
whole crackers in a hole in dead cot
tonwood. And in a minute that tough
old tree few everywhere in splinters,
while a roar louder than thunder went
rolling through the hills.
