Get Another Excuse, Carter.

Several complaints have been received
at this office from subscribers about not
being able to get the Recorder at Glad
stone and Taylor, during the campaign.
AS the papers do not go through the
Dickinson office the blame can only be
charged to the offices named. We make
this statement to place the blame where
It belongs. s.-Recorder, Nov. IS.
Anyone who has ever taken the Re-
corder knows that the paper is seldom
issued on time-from one to five days
late and occasionally failing altogether.
The subscribers do not usually mind
this, for they get all the news in the
Press, and on time; but to illustrate. the
city list of the Recorder the week before
election was mailed four days late, and
the Lord only knows when the county
list was mailed, if at all. At the time
Carter had a drunken tramp printer in
his office who looked after little matters
like mailing papers and if half of the list
was omitted it was all the same to him
little work saved.
Postmasters Turner and MClure can
not deliver copies of the Recorder that
never reach their offices, neither can
they mail on time copies that do not
reach them until week after the regu-
lar publication day.

Secretary Gage Figures on Decrease In
War Tax.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-Secretary of
the Treasury Gage will probably rec.
ommend reduction of not more than
$l5, 600, 900 per year in the war revenue
taxes.
Estimates are now being made"
said Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Wilson, ION basis of repeal of all pro-
prietary stamp taxes and repeal of doc
umentary stamp taxes and notes, mort.
cages, kilograms and express receipts"
The commissioner will submit a re.
port to Secretary Gage at once on the
proposed repeal of these taxes, showing
as nearly as possible how much revenue
would be cut off by each one. The re.
peal Of the proprietary stamp tax will
reduce the revenues by about &, 900, 900
per year, but it is impossible to make
such close estimate as to the amount
that will be cut off by the repeal of
other taxes. Strong efforts will be
made to have the beer tax reduced, but
it is not believed the condition of the
treasury. will admit of such reduction.

Wonderful Mcmory-Cnrr,ed Amounts
of the False Entries In His Head and
Deceived the Checking Clerk..
CINCINNATI, Nov. 20-The experts
who have been working with Receiver
Tucker Oh the books of the German
National bank at Newport. KY, csti.
mate the alleged shortage of Frank M.
Brown, the missing assistant cashier
and individual bookkeeper, at $l9l, 500.
According to reports from persons who
were with Brown when he left last
Tuesday night he had less than $500
with him. Browns salary was only
81, 800 year. His bond for $4,000 is
good. United States District Attorney
Hill will arrive from faducah to take
charge of the case. 1t is expected he
will cause several arrests.
During the run on the Newport bank
last Saturday 5000. 900 was obtained in
Cincinnati to bridge over the trouble.
This was returned and Receiver Tucker
had other moneys and papers also
transferred from Cincinnati.
Brown evidently had wonderful
memory. The experts said he carried
i'll his head the figures that enabled
him to call off correctly false entries in
a way to mislead the clerks who were
doing the checking" with him. A
depositor would put in So, 100. Brown
Would Enter the Proper sum
in one book and enter it as 800 in an.
other. Then when it came to checking
up he would handle one of the books.
Another clerk would check and
Brown would call off. Instead of call.
ing off 500, which appeared as the
amount of the deposit on the book
which he was handling, he would call
it as IS, 100, thus making it correspond
with the book in the hands of the other
clerk. He also. it is alleged, worked it
in another way. A depositor would
draw out 500. Brown would make
the proper entry in one book and enter
$S, 100 in another. When the depositor
had his accounts checked up the
figures were taken from the book
in which the current entry had been
made. When the bank officials looked
to see what amount was due the de.
positors they were then given their in.
formation from the books which showed
that $3,1OO had been withdrawn.
Brown had memorized all the iudi.
vidual accounts, and the experts find
no private marks of any kind on the
books. The general ledger balanced
with the cash. 1t is generally believed

Public School Librnry.

Many of the children in school have
read all the books in the library that are
adapted 10 their respective attalnments.
Last year we added sixty-two volumes.
Yet, owing to the increased attendance, we
have not enough books suitable to the
lower grades to meet the demands made
upon US. Just before Thanksgiving last
year called upon the pupils to give, if
they desired, five or ten cents each for
the use Of the library. About SIS was re-
ceivad from the pupils and the teachers.
Since this is the surest and the least OBJ.
jectionable method of raising a small
amount, we shall call upon the children
for a like contribution this year. No one
is obliged to give, yet all will get beae-
fits from the amount received.

ton. The holdup occurred at 1880
o'clock and was participated in by half
dozen men.
The bandits had built huge bonfire
on the track, evidently figuring that it
would cause the engineer TO bring the
rain to standstill. He, however,
scenting an attempted robbery, opened
the throttle and endeavored to push
through the fiery obstacle. Several
ties. of which the fire was made, caught
in the pilot and soon brought the train
to standstill. Immediately three
masked men ordered the engineer and
fireman to leave the engine cab. An.
other went to the side of the car and
hailed the conductor and ordered him
to remain inside. Each order was
obeyed. While the four robbers wero
standing guard and occasionally firing
shot to frighten the passengers their
two accomplices entered the express
car and ordered Messenger Samuel r.
Avery to ''step aside or get to the other
corner"
Made Five Attempts.
The large safe was charged five times
with dynamite each explosion making
terrific noise and tearing off portions
of the car. A large hole was bored
into the door of the safe but an en.
trance could not be effected. The rob.
bers finally announced that they had
no more dynamite and then they gave
up the task Of forcing open the door.
Then picking up the local express
box and several other things they ran
to their horses, which had been hitched
near by, and rode quickly away.
No attempt was made to disturb or
molest the passeng except for an oc.
casional shot at an inquisitive passen-
ger who peered out of Car window.
Messenger Avery was badly hurt
about the head and face by flying
splinters hurled about by the dynamite
explosions. One side of his face was
terribly lacerated and several teeth
were knocked out. He was sent to his
home at St. Louis on the same train.
The top and one eide of the express
car were shattered by splinters The
trainmen say the small box carried off
by the robbers contained about $500. It
is positively known that the robbers Sc.
