Last Week They Robbed
 Kalem, Now ShOemake.
ONLY STOLE MONEY
Even Nuggets and Gold Dust They Left Behind Them = They Got About One Hundred and Twenty Dollars Altogether.

An unknown burglar or. burglars last night entered the rooms of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Shoemake and thelr cousin. George Henton. in the Keelar flats. on State street and Eighth avenue, and took about sI2o. The occupants of the house lived upstairs. They were out spending the evening when the robbery was committed.
 The burglars ransaeked the rooms, going through trunks, beds, bureau drawers and stands. and leaving everything In eonfu- sion,
 They evidently wanted nothing but money, for In one of the purses from which they took money there vas also two nuggets, which thev did not take. They took a poke containing two ounces of gold dust from the pocket of pair of Mr. Shoemake's trousers, but the poke was found on the hall stairway with the gold still In it after the strange visitors had departed.
 or the money taken, there was $50 to s6o which Mr. Shoemake had left on the wall In cigar case which he was using as a purse; $50, belonging to MT. Henton, which he left In pocket book in his bed; and sIo or SIS which Mrs. Shoemake left in a purse in her wardrobe.
 There is no clue to the robbers.
 Mr. Shoemake Is a member of the cons mission firm of Blshoprlek & Shoemake, and Mr. Henton has been employed by Mr. West of the Times.

NO MORE WAR BAGS.
Yukoners Now Wear Good Uothes
 and Travel With Trunks.

The passenger train leaving yesterday morning for Bennett took two coaches filled with people for various interior points. The baggage car was filled and there was half car load that had to be left for the next train. The baggage car has often been more than. filled thls win ter and spring. and sometimes two cars have had to be used In single train, thus showing that people going 10 the interior are carrying a large amount of personal belongings.
 A year ago trunk was not known on the Upper Yukon and beyond the summit. Then lt was always canvas bags, com monly termed "war bags" but now trunks of every description are among the most common of the baggage passing over the road.

Mrs. Morgan Fined For Selling Li-

Mrs. NJ. Morgan, who lives at the summit, was arrested there yesterday by Deputy Marshal McNaughton from skagway, on the charge of selling li' quor without license.
 The woman was brought to town on the train, and given a hearing before Commissioner sehlbrede last evening. She plead guilty, and was fined slOo and costs. The amount of costs were increased through the fact that two trips were made to the summit to make the arrest. They amounted to s30. The first trip out the woman was not found at home, and 1t is said she quiet ly slipped out and made feint of com ing to Skagway. The marshal did not find her here 80 a second trip was found necessary.

Biggest Train of the Kind
 Ever Left Skagway.
SIX CARS OK SHEEP
Three Notable Expeditions, One of Which Represents About Thirty Thousand Dollars Elaborate Plan for Feeding the Animals.

The largest stock train that has ever gone over the White Pass X Yukon rail- road left here last evening for Bennett. lt comprised ten cars loaded with sheep. horses and cattle.
 There were 36S sheep, A cattle and 10 horses.. Of the total on the train there were eight horses, To cows and 37 steers for LsFrance. & Hastner, who will take them into Dawson, and four horses for Capt, John Irving.
 The sheep..whieh occupied six cars, be- long to the Arctic Meat company, and together with fifty cattle belonging to the same concern which were s.nt to Bennett several days ago, arc to be taken through to LaBarge over the Ice. and from there down the river by seow to Dawson. To swing this expedition of the Arctic Meat company alone requires s3o,ooo. In other words that Is the sum representing the original cost of the stock In the states, the cost of transportation from the states to Dawson. and the cost Of feeding them while on the way In.
 Ten horses will be used In conveying feed and in driving the stock. In order 10 be prepared for the feeding of the stock upon their arrival, the company had the feed sent ahead. From Bennett to White Horse feed was cached at intervals of IS miles. Seven.y.fve tons of feed were sent inside for use of the expedition.
 The cattle were sent oyer the pass and down Lake Bennett several days ago. The sheep will be driven from Bennett just as soon as they reach there.
 It has been found impossible. now that Flftv- mile river IS open, to get the feed down that stream without the use of some kind of craft, so the company will build scows and after using them in those waters nave tnem urawn over LAKE Ee Barge on the Ice bv their horses and cattle and then out .n the river again, and utll- Ized ln conveying part of the expedition to It's final destination.
 It Is the expectation of the eomp,ny to get its stock into Daws;n among the first craft of the season, and just as the Teat In the market at Dawson Is disposed of or has all become unfit for use.

 "The crew engaged In trackIayIng can and does put down two miles of track daily. But after laying a day they go back and spend some time 'surfaclng up and making the track more servlceable.
 ''Bv the end of this week, l expect, the track will be laid sixteen miles out from Caribou to Lewis lake. Then the track laying will be suspended for while pend ing the construction of two bridges. close together, and each about Goo feet long"

The Home Of the Trusts.

When reckless partisan makes an
attack on the party it opposes, says
the Cleveland Plain Dealer, a little
matter like the truth does not trouble
it. For instance, one of that class Of
papers in Cleveland yesterday said
that THE homes of the trusts are in
New Jersey, Delaware and West Vir-
ginia-states whose laws are made by
Democrats" A slight acquaintance
with current political history might
have saved the thrower of that boom
erang from the return of the missile
on his own party. The lawmaking
power of all three of those states is
in the hands of Republicans New Jer-
sey is represented in the United
States Senate by two Republicans,
and the present legislature of the
state has strong Republican majori-
tiles in both branches. West Virginia
is represented in the senate by two
Republicans, and the present legisla-
ture is Republican. Delaware has a
Republican legislature, and the fact
that one seat in the United States
Senate is vacant is wholly due to a
split among the Republicans prevent
ing them uniting upon candidate.
Therefore, the fact is that the
homes of the trusts in New Jersey,
Delaware and West Virginia are in
states whose lawmaking power is in
the hands of Republicans.

sheep does not entitle the mortgagee to
the wool that may be taken off unless
this is specifically provided for in the
body of the mortgage.
One thousand calves from Mexico
were recently unloaded at Iowa City
The shipment made a full train, which
was twice unloaded en- route so that
the young animals could have the nec-

1t is said one of the large packing
companies has completed arrangements
for embarking in the business of sepa-
rating the whites and yolks of eggs,
canning them separately, freezing them
and placing them on the market for
use by bakers.
The wheat crop of Great Britain, ac-

In the Butterfly Business.

Mary Yeomans, an English woman,
now resident of California, is devel-
oping a profitable industry in catch
ing butterflies. She had some know
ledge of butterflies when she went to
the Pacific slope. One day flock of
Pansy-like butterflies lowered a mo-
ment over her and then flew up the
mountain side. She thought she rec
ognized species only known in the
higher Alps, which are very rare and
consequently valuable. She followed
these honey-loving beauties up the
mountain and captured goodly num-
ber of them. She copied in the water
color and sent the sketch to London.
After a considerable wait she re-
ceived word to send the butterflies,
for which she received for the twenty
five $575. Miss Yeomans has a nurse.
ry for beetles in her cellar. DR.. LIE
Fontain, who came from France to
study the insects of California, taught
Miss Yeomans much about insects and
was most enthusiastic over her enter
prise. Miss Yeomans finds great de.
mand for beetles as well as butter
flies.

Wall Street Tactics.

Wall street has found out that the
public is indignant over the pouring
of $25,O00,000 of government funds in
to the centre of speculation to initiate
stock exchange values, and it is send
ing out reasons why the treasury was
justified in doing it. The main reason
given is the inelastic rules of the ma
tlonal banking system, which pre-
vent the banks coming to the relief
of the country by increasing their note
issues, but it Is gross misrepresenta-
tion of the facts. The national banks
as whole are as much adverse to a
large permanent volumn of circulating
paper money as Wall street is, and
they themselves prove that they are.
On the very day. and every day since,
that Secretary Gage threw $25 900 900
on Wall street to relieve the strin-
gency," the national banks of New
York City were nearly $30,00O,000 be-
low their authorized maximum note
issue, and the banks of the whole
country were SS50,000,000 below that
point That is to say, the New York
national banks could have added $780,
0OO0 to their note issue in forty
eight hours, and the national banks of
the country could increase their note
banks relieved the money market by
issuing notes there would have been
no occasion to start scheme to de-
plete the treasury reserve and force
the government to issue another
batch of bonds later on.
If congress is going to do any work
on the monetary system it should en-
act law obliging national banks to
keep their note issue up to 80 per
cent of their capital, as they have
the right to do. 1t is nonsense to
charter bank and allow it to retire
its volume of notes down to 10 per
cent of it's capital whenever it wants
to With such power to create a pie
thora or stringency in the money mar
ket lodged in the note issuing banks,
it is not surprising that the volume of
money should be subjected to violent
fluctuations, nor will the channels of
commerce be safe from Wall street
manipulatorS until such legislation as
suggested Is had. 1t is true the secre-
tary of the treasury had the power to
refuse to respond to Wall streets call
for 25,000,000, which he should have
DONE and throw the responsibility of
Strigency upon the banks, but that
was not the game the street and the
bankers were playing. AS matter of
fact, there was no pressing stringency,
but the throwing of 25,000,000 on the
street would initiate share values The
country always dabbles in stocks on
rising market, and the country will
own millions of shares by the time
the $25,000,000 is used up. And then
the street will buy back the country's
holdings when the reaction" has sent
them to the bottom. 1t is an old
game, and this is not the first time
the nations treasury has helped Wall
City Times.
