cious mischief preferred by the pro-
prietor of the Lafayette house. on
North Main avenue. and at the hearing
before Alderman Davis was held in
$500 bail for his appearance at court.
The charge grew out of an attack
made on the saloon about a month ago,
when O'DOnnell. with two companions.
broke the windows in the building and
threw large stone through the bar
mirror. They escaped. but left evil
dence which was sufficient to identify
them. Warrants were issued. but
O'Donnell was the only one captured
and he offered much resistance.
The prisoner was also wanted for
resisting Patrolman Evans and escap-
ing from him some time ago. An adj
ditional warrant was issued for this
offense and the alderman fined him $40
when he was arraigned on the other
charge.

SUM OF MONEY FOUND.

The surviving relatives Of the late Mrs.
Barbara Stetter are reported to have
found large sum of money in the
house on North Main avenue a few
days ago. but the exact amount can
not be learned. 1t is quite generally
known that Mrs. Stetter had a fond
ness for accommodating gold coins and
the general supposition is that her saw
ings were secreted in the house.
When members of the family were
asked concerning the discovery they re-
fused to admit anything about It, and
deny any knowledge of the find, but
from what information has been
CLEANED the amount is placed at be-
tween $4,000 and $1,000.

AS long as the work is easier and
the pay larger as a rule than
paid for similar service in the
business world it will probably be
waste of space to advice men to
anything in preference to a pollt-
ical job, but it is none The less
true that almost any sort of an
occupation will pay better in the
long run, not only IN dollars and
cents but in self-respect.
Representative Lawrence, Of

gressional opinion when he said:
There are many questions with
dynamite in them, which congress
is likely to discuss after the holi-
days, and it seems to me that the

one of unusual interest"

The large number Of applica-

---of soldiers who served in the

result of the enterprising pension

of pensions expresses the opinion

STUDENT REBELLION.
Commandant West Exonerated-Charg
 es Against President.

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. 1S.-A sen sational turn in affairs has taken place at the state university at Tuscaloosa, where the student body has been in open rebellion against the faculty since last Friday, because of certain rules laid down which were objectionable.
 The court of inquiry met this after noon. The president and commandant were requested to retire from the room where the investigation was being held, and charges were preferred against the president, whose dismissal is demand ed on the ground that he has acted in an unmanly way toward the command ant, upon whom he is trying to shift all responsibility.
 It is stated that the boys admitted to the faculty that they were guilty of gross insubordination. but that it is necessary to secure the needed reforms. It is further stated by the students that President Powers was hooted, jeered and cursed Friday night, and was pelted with coal and ashes.
 Commandant West who had been pre- viously condemned, was exonerated. The meeting adjourned until tomorrow morning without reaching a conclu- sion.
 Neither President Powers nor any member of the faculty will give out a statement.

ToBAcco-sMUGGLING SCHEME.
Government Defrauded Out of Large
 Sum By Shippers

Hamilton, Ontario, Dec. 1S.-William N. Clark, United States custom officer at Niagara Falls, N. Y, and Frank TryOn, also a United States officer, have been in Hamilton within the past few days investigating the alleged shipment of tobacco from Hamilton to United States points. This city has been the base of operations for tobac- co smugglers, and within the past year or two the United States government has been defrauded out of thousands of dollars on account of fraudulent op- erations.
 The scheme was to import Havana wrappers to Canada from Havana via New York, labeled filler tobacco. The Canadian government makes no dis crimination in duty between the filler and wrapper tobacco, but the United States government charges $1.25 a pound on wrapper and only 35 cents on filler. The imported wrapper to- bacco labeled filler was reshipped to the United States and the low duty paid. It was only recently that the customs officers learned the secret, and now they are after the parties impli- cated.
