the attention of the clerks while one

another. They would shoplift about
twice a week on the average. She

she did not know why she engaged in
the business. She needed some of the
goods, and had made up one piece of
silk and had intended to keep the re-
mainder and make them up She has
one child, two year old boy, who
sat in his carriage just outside the cell
while his mother was relating her
story.
Mrs. Minnie Kohler claims that her

case for two weeks or more. Officer
Bienapf got the first trace through
L. Janda's store. where the women are
said to have tried to get a pair of
shoes, but failed.
Mrs Foss denies that she had any
thing to do with the robbery, al
though several pieces of the alleged
stolen goods were found in her house.
Mrs. Ulrika Kohler has admitted tc
the police that she stole two pieces OF
silk but continus to deny having
stolen anything else.

AID. MEYER TALKS
Tie Stands Strongly For Law
and Order.
Has Made No Promises of Office, and
Will EndeavOr TO Get Rid of the
Floating Debt.

Aid. Meyers candidacy for mayor
is. meeting with favor in all parts OF
the city and he grows in strength as
the days go on. He stands on the plat,
form adopted at the Republican con,
vention and justifes the statements
made by his friends in the convention
regarding his attitude as to law and
order.
IF elect mayor, I will enforce
the laws as l find them,' said Mr.
Meyer to Free Press reporter this
forenoon. II have been law abiding
citizen during the forty-six years of
my life, and 1 expect to continue to
be. l will see that the laws that are
on the statute books are obeyed if I
should be elected mayor.
"Another thing, if elected l will
take office free from any promises to
appoint anyone to Office or to discharge
any of the present incumbents. 1 have
not promised to appoint anyone chief
of police, nor have l promised any
other Office. If elected, [ would ap-
point to Office the people who in my
judgment are best fitted to fill them.
my two years service on the coun-
Gil has given me good idea of the
needs of the city, and 1 would be will
ing to assist the council by giving
it the benefit of my experience, in CT
der to get the best results for the city
from the money spent.
"As long as there is a floating
debt hanging over the city, [ shall
favor pursuing the same course as has
been pursued the last two years, to a
great extent. My whole effort, it
elected shall be toward extinguishing
the floating debt. Of course, the
streets must be taken care of and any
other improvements that are absolutely
necessary should be attended to, but
the d ebt should be paid off as rapidly
as possible in order that the tax payers
may be relieved of the BURDEN
The Democratic nominees have
agreed upon G. o. Daley for chairman
of the Democratic city committee and
Henry Fricke for secretary.
The Republican city committee held
a meeting Monday and laid out
a plan of campaign. Chairman
Scherer is confident that Aid. Meyer
will be triumphantly elected next
Tuesday, but will leave no precaution
untaken. He has already set in motion
plans that will unquestionably ensure
success to the entireRepublican ticket.
The selection of Mr. Scherer as chair
man of the city committee was for
tunate move, as he is well qualified to
perform it's duties.
The Knights of the Royal Arch held
a meeting Sunday afternoon. The
influence of this secret rganization is
said to be pledged to Mr.. Petersen for
mayor.

AMUSEMENT IS.
ATTRACTIONS TONIGHT. Jefferson--"The Little Minister" Auditorium-'Ha Kirke."
HThe Little Minlster.n

However well .Maude Adams may have played the part she created. Lady Babbie. in 'The Little Minister" 1t is certain that Miss Frances Stevens played the same part to the entire satisfaction of the audience in the Jefferson theater last night Her bright face and bright ways charmed the audience. Horace Mitchell as Gavin Dishart, the Little Minister, was also fully equal to the part that MT. Barrie has so carefully drawn, and as to the four elders of the Kirk, they were simply immense, and 1t is difficult to say which one of the four was the most en- joyable.
 The play is one of the wholesomest that has been presented in this town this sea- son, and throughout its course runs the air of the Kirk and of bonnie Scotland.
 It will be presented this afternoon and again tonight. and if the theater is not full on both occasions it will simply be because grand opera has exhausted the ready money of this community.

There would be nof expense connected with the lecture. Mr. Lovelace said that Dr. Holman mad the highest testimonials and that his work was purely public spirited. He recently lectured before the Cincin- natl Commercial Club and his discussion of social conditions and industrial bet torment there gave great satisfaction. On motion an invitation was extended to Dr. Holman to deliver his lecture in the hall of the club.
 The abuse of the bankrupt law was discussed briefly. It was generally agreed that the law should be amended.
 MT. Beitman moved that the question be referred to the committee on legislation
