What appears to be a systematic en-

The stuff appropriated was oats intend

Sunday night with 30 sacks of oats
The driver at first whipped his mule

to Aitchen'S barn. He was sent to the

BANK RE-OPENS.
Stolen Bonds and Securities Returned
by Thieves.

Lowell, Mass, Oct. 21.-A1though the
fact cannot be confirm ed from official
sources, it is believed that money and
securities taken from the vault of the
Merchants National bank by Teller A. G.
Smith and Bookkeeper L. K. Swift, be-
fore they disappeared last Thursday
night, have been returned to the bank,
for at a. m. a number of flags, appar-
emily containing money and bundles of
documents, believed to be bonds and
bank securities, were delivered to the
Merchants National bank by Lawyer
Burke of Lowell and Mr.. Bartlett of
Elden and Bartlett, of Boston.
As these lawyers have been under
stood to represent the absent bank men
and as the statement was made that the
men cleaned out the bank vault before
they left in order that they might be in
a position to compel the officials to
promise immunity from punishm ent for
any wrong doing which might come to
light, it is considered probable that the
men have reached q an understanding
with the banks managers and that the
property of the institution was returned
as a result

x. U. A. Lodges Win Liquor Cases.

Cuba. Kan, Oct. 21.-The Kansas
Utopia association, better known as K.
u. A. lodges, have just won two more
liquor cases. The lodge keepers of two
lodges at Cuba were arrested for a vio-
lation of the prohibitory law. The at
torneys for the k U. A. and a stenog-
rapher for the state association went to
Cuba today and secured a discharge of
both lodge keepers and an order from
court for a return of all liquors and
other property taken by the officers. The
Kansas Utopia association have lodges
in many towns in Kansas, combining
together, and have been organized al
most three years and have never had
conviction. although they have been
tried under "Hurren'' and other prohi-
bition laws of Kansas. The lodge keep
of the K. Z. A is known as the
Custos Rotulorum of the lodge and he
takes orders from the members for
liquors and other goods and acts solely
as a purchaser and never as a seller and
orders taken are sent outside of the
state and filled. All reports are made
to the supreme lodge.

A RICH CHURCH
Called to Account by Its Pastor For
Small Contributions.

New York, Oct 21-The Rev. Gideon
w. Shott, pastor of the First Baptist
church at Scotch Plains, the oldest
church of that denomination in New
Jersey, has given notice to his congre-
cation of a call to his old parish in
Covington, KY. In making the an
nouncement Mr.. Shott took occasion to
speak of the Indifference the members
of the church displayed in regard to
the expenses of the church and the
falling off in receipts which had left
many accounts unpaid. This church,
though a small one, is the best endowed
of any in the state, having benefited by
the wills of a number of rich members
On assuming the pastorate of the
Baptist church, three years ago, the
Rev. Mr.. Shott started a vigorous cru
SADIE against the five hotels in the town.
He finally succeeded, while president of

The details of four opponents within

four young ladies, one the daughter of
Mrs. Laws, and all people living in the
