DRAFTS FOUND.
PiCkpOckets Did Not Care to
Keep Them,
Gave the Officials a. Tip, and Thsy Are
Found in This City, Where
They Had Been Left.

The drafts for "a, 500 which B
Schattuck, the Anoka man who's
pocket was picked on the early traiI
on the Omaha road Thursday morn
ing, lost while on his way home from
Iowa, were recovered in this city THU
forenoon. At shortly after ten O'Clock,
Agent johnson received telegram
from the claim department of the
Omaha road at st. Paul, saying that
he would find the stolen pocketbook
and its contents behind the radiator
in the ladies' entrance of the Saul
paugh.
Col. Johnson showed the telegram tc
Landlord Snyder and the two made a
search at the point indicated. They
found that the information contained
in the telegram was correct, for. sure
enough, there lay the pocketbook
nicely concealed behind the radiator.
An examination of it showed that it
contained three drafts on New York,
aggregating 81, 500, besides some other
papers of no money value to anyone
but the owner. Two of the drafts were
for 81, 900 each, one was for $500 and
one was for 500.
How the claim department became
possessed of the information as to
where the pocketbook was concealed is
as yet unknown to the local railroad
officials. Two theories have been ad-
vanced. One is that the pickpockets
have been arrested and gave the in
formation to the officers. The other
and more probable is that the pick
pockets, fearing that the robbery of the
draf is would lead to active measures
being taken for their apprehension if
they were not returned, sent an an
nonymous communication to the claim
department telling where the pocket
book had been left.
1t is apparent that the pickpockets,
on leaving the train, after examining
the book and finding drafts for such
large amounts. besides other private
papers, none of which could readily be
turned into money, concluded to leave
it where it could be found after their
departure, and where no mishap could
come to it.
1t has been learned that the three
pickpockets boarded the train at Lake
Crystal The conductor recognized
them as being pickpockets and for the
protection of the passengers went
through the train and announced that
pickpockets were on board and that
everyone should have a care for his
valuables.
Mr.. Shattuck left his seat shortly
before the train reached Mankato, and
leaving his coat in it went into an
other Car it get his satchel. When he
returned he discovered that the pocket
book had been distracted from the coat
pocket.
Pickpockets piled their trade at the
funniest at New Ulm last Sunday.
W. K. Neal, chief clerk in the
Omaha Office at st. James, whose loss
of pocketbook containing $75 to 500
and some diamonds was mentioned
yesterday, was DOING on the depot
platform when the robbery was COM
mitted.

CHINESE PEANUTS.

The trans-American railways have
their agents in all parts of the world
commercial agents, industrial agents.
tourist agents, live stock agents, car SER
vice agents and oriental agents, as well
as the regular assortment and variety
of freight and passenger agents. The
oriental agent of the Great Northern
railway in this city is Mr.. Moy Wu Yen,
a highly interesting Chinaman, who car
ries in his pockets a handful of Chinese
peanuts with which, from time to time,
he regales his friends. In the midst Of
business he suddenly conceals his hand
beneath his blouse and asks: VIII you
try a Chinese peanut?' The hand, soft
as that of a gentle maiden, reappears
with the nuts, and you are tempted. You
yield with pleasure, accepting one. 1t
resembles the native "goober," which ex-
Governor Campbell failed to corner, but
is the most delicious morsel in the nut
shape that you ever tasted.
Mr.. Moy laughingly tells you. when
you ask where more nuts can be had,
that they are not Chinese peanuts at all,
but the familiar old Virginia "goober''
prepared in the Chinese fashion. I'VE

1T is unfortunate just as this

tative men of their race, and that when
the next election comes, the represen-

who have had business training, may
be expected to step forward, and not a

A STARTLING
DISCREPANCY
Curious Finding by the Chi
nese Bureau About hi
nese Population.

Twenty seven thousand certificates
have been issued by the Internal Rev
enue Department to Chinese in the
Territory of Hawaii. At midnight to-
night the work of registration will
cease, and any Chinaman found within
it's borders thereafter without a Ger
tifcate. will be deported. According TO
the Chinese bureau the last census
returns showed only 21,000 Chinese
here, which leaves a margin of 5000
TO be accounted for
Census superintendent Atkinson is
sure of his totals, and in talking over
the matter last night, said that the
Chinese bureau is probably figuring on
the Chinese census of 1896. Between
that year and 1900 many Chinese came
into Hawaii. Very likely some Nof the
Discrepancy noted is due to the fact
that, while mixed Hawaiian and Chi
nese are registered as Chinese by the
certification bureau. they appear IN
the census for what they actually are
Mr.. Atkinson does not see how tbs
! figures of the 1900 census can have
been used as. so far as he is aware

Shortly before the lamented death of

mechanician in the Physical Labora-
tory of the Johns Hopkins University,
Theodore c. Schneider, died. He had
been connected with the laboratory
ever since the founding or the univer-
sity Under Professor Rowland's per-
sonaI supervision he constructed the
three machines used for ruling the
spectrum gratings made at this labor
atory and used in all parts or the world

he had exclusive charge of selecting

chimes involved the grin ding OF screws

be as perfect as possible throughout
their length. Mr.. Schneider ground

Hitherto nicotine has been regarded as
the only active principle which the
fragrant weed contains, but one learns
that, as the result of recent expert
ments, three new principles have been
isolated. What effect these latter sub
stances may exert on the smoker is a
topic which has yet to be investigated,
but it would not be a surprising mat
ter to discover that the consequences
of tobacco excess, most marked on
eyes and heart, were due rather to the
newly discovered principles than to
the nicotine itself. / trust the Anti
Tobacco Society is going to make cap
ital out of this new discovery, for the
assertion that tobacco is a poison will
evoke the inevitable remark that, if so,
it is a remarkably slow one in respect
of it's effects. AS my late friend, Wilkie
Collins, used to say, all the opposition
offered to the use of tobacco only sends
the smoker back with renewed relish to
his pipe or cigar.-London Chronicle.
