THE HERALD would favor any fair
measure to cut down representation
in the lower house of Congress. II
we had fewer men, we might get
better men; and the fewer the num-
Der, the greater the individual re-
spousibility. The body is too large
and unwleldy now, and everything
that is done wrong, is laid on the
other fellow. The same may be said
of the Tennessee legislature and the
Maury County Court and the Co
lumbia Board of Aldermen. We
ought to have fewer officer holders,
pay them we'll and hold them to in-
'dividual account both for what they
do and for what they don't do that
they ought to do.

DICKSON, Tenn, Jan. 9.-Between
2 and o'clock this morning burglars
priced a catch off back window,
entered the pOstofiice here, blew
open the office safe and took about
$500 worth of stamps Of various
denominations, and between $3.50
and $500 in money.
The robbery was affected by the
thieves drilling a small hole in the
top of. the safe, into which they
must have inserted a quantity of
nitro q ycerine, which completely
tore the safe asunder and placed the
contents completely at their mercy.

provided with comfortable seats in

IT was the unexpected this time

THE railroad ordinances passed
second reading last week, the alb
sentees again postponing their final
consideration. Speaking of amend
ments to the charter, as some were
suggested last night, we suggest the
following: The absence of any
regular meetiug1, unless absent from
the city on important business
or detained at home by serious
illness in his family, should of itself
vacate his office, and the said alder
man should not be eligible to office
in the city for ten years. 1t is too
often the case that men are induced
to run for aldermen in the interest
of some pers onal friend who wants
to be policeman. but who really tax e
no active interest in public worn.
and after the first few meetings
give very little thought o. attention
to public service. Aldermen who
will not attend upon the regular
meetings of the Board are hind
rance to legislation; and as their
brother aldermen naturally would
not like to take action against them,
the charter should be so drawn that
their own acts will impeach them,
and disqualify them from re-
election, without any action at all
being necessary by the Board.

CINCINNATI, June 16.-The echoes
OF young mans escapades in this city
are just beginning to be heard. The
echoes are in the shape Of bad checks
and drafts that were returned not hon
ored. Consequently there are a lot of
people around town kicking themselves
and wishing they could lay hands on
the young fellow.
The man with the bad checks and
drafts is Warren G. Stoner. OF Paris.
KY, but 1t Is said that of late he has
been running livery stable In Kan
sas City. He is well known among trot-
ting horse people all over the Grand
Circuit He is well known because a
few years ago, while In Columbus. dur
ing the trotting races, he was supposed
to have good thing. and he bought
$4,000 worth Of pools. He was given
the double cross. and then got even by
WEIGHING on the pools.
Stoner has been away from this part
of the country for some time, and he
did not make his appearance in this
neighborhood until the opening Of the
pie know he was around. He had plen-
ty of money, and was liberal with it.
He played the horses like real live
plunger sometimes he won and some
times he lost But one bet he did not
win was when he sent commissioner
to Louisville to bet on a horse at even
money. The commissioner returned
empty handed, saying he did not bet the
money, as the horse was not as good as
even money. which made a lot of sus-
picious people say that he was skinned.
But Stoner kept on betting. He attend
ed the races every day with good look
ing girl. He was never known to walk.
and he drank nothing but wine.
1t was wine, wine, all day at the track,
and after a dinner at the swell cafes with
his female friend he would play the sa-
looms for an hour and then put In the rest
of the night in the overt the Rhine concert
halls. There he was known as the Invest
baby that had been around for many
day or night. He bought drinks for the
actresses while sitting in the wineroom
and boxes. and when they appeared on the
stage he would shower silver at them
and II was no small change, either.
A whirl at stud poker was next on the
programme, followed by an hours play at
craps.
Stoner went merry clip. and when he
awokc one morning he found himself
broke. He had blowed $500 in just six
days. Then he began TO drop out. and It
was not long until he was looking for
money. He got 1t. He gave bad checks
right and left and borrowed money on
drafts that were returned no good. His
checks were given on a bank in Kansas
City, and they were returned marked mo
account" These checks and drafts came
back this week, but Stoner has gone
where no one knows.
