into salcCn when there is rush on
in order to further minimize the pos
sibilities of the barkeeper's detecting
the scribbling on the bill, and will call
for a drink.
The money is put in the drawer, the
man gets his drink and his change,
and walks out. Directly his partner
tenders a 81 bill in payment. The bar
keeper throws out 95 cents in change.
You made a mistake. old man. the

fellow is iEsistent, says he only had
one piece OF money and that was So

jotted down list Of his laundry on
the back of it. He calls for the boss,
tells him OF the dispute and asks him
to see if he has a $5 bill with one
shirt, two collars, two pairs cuffs
written on it in pencil. Sure enough
the bin is found. and the man gets
his S4.95 in change. This is the scheme

Latest Flim-Flam Scheme
Ingenious and Successful

"The thing in the way Of flim-ham
now, and the real thing" said an old
detective, sis away ahead CT any Of the
old tricks l know anything about. 1t
has been worked but once in New Or
leans, as far as know, and If it has
ever been worked in any other place
do not know anything about it. The
business of finding pocketbooh,
'springing the pigeon as it is called;
the lock trick, which, by tie way, is
one of the smoothest Of the whole list,
and all the 9th hers are cheap and clum-
sy in comparison with the clever
scheme that was worked on a down
town barkeeper q few evenings ago.
It shows one thing, and that is that
the criminal classes are quite as ac-
tive mentally and otherwise as men
who are engaged in the decent calling
of life. They are probably more ac-
tive mentally than the men who are
ground into narrow grooves because of
ceaseless toiling in an effort to keep
the wolf away. The new film fam
scheme is wonderfully simple and is
worked with paper money. A 81 and a
IS bill are needed. Of course, bills of
higher denomination could be used,
but the two men who worked the
denominaticn-a 81 and a SIS bill. 1t
is worked in this way: One Of the
men Will write in thin lettering Oh

posed to be a list of his laundry. For

AN ANTi-TREAT LEAGUE.

Irish Organization Looks for Recruits
in This Country.
In Ireland an anti-treating league
has been formed. 1t has taken st.
Patrick for it's patron, and it induced
the last convention Of the Gaelic
league held in Dublin to indorse it's
efforts as tending to eradicate "one
of the most prolific sources OF intem-
perance and national evil
The league does not attempt to
hinder anybody from taking drink
himself if he pays for it, though it
qualities this by making its members
promise mot to be guilty Of the sin
of intemperance." But the chief pledge
that would-pe members must take is
mot to take treat from another, nor
to give one himself in any place
where drink is sold, whether public
house, bar. hotel, or sheeHeen.
The pledge does not hinder q mem
Der from Offering q drink to friends IN
his own house nor from taking one
himself at the house OF friend. 1t
does not prevent him from buying a
drink for himself. 1t only bars buy
ing drinks for others.
In token OF these principles mem
bers are requested to wear the badge
of the league, a shamrock leaf in green
enamel with three small shields bear
ing the three initials of the Celtic
title Of the league. Total abstainers
may wear cream-colored shields. All

Push Club Will Meet This
Evening.

The meeting of the Push Club in the
Police Court room this evening, which is
advertised elsewhere in this paper,
should be attended by every citizen OF
Salem who has the good of the city at
heart. A letter has been received from
Mr.. Eugene Bosse, the gentleman who
intends to operate the mill here,
conveying the pleasing intelligence
that he will be here ready to
mmence operations about March / and
also stating that he has purchased the
entire stock and plant of the Oregon
Woman's Flax Fibre Association.
This deal, as the Journal is now at
liberty to say, was made on the day Of
Mr.. Bosses departure from Salem, Ac-
companied by Mr.. +. NJ. Croissn, he went
10 Portland and having been already in
communication with those at the head
of that Association the deal was closed
without delay.
There is no doubt but that this infor.
nation will be greeted with pleasure by
Salem's citizens, and as the meeting
this evening is one to devise means oI
expediting the early starting OF the in
dustry, there is little doubt but that the

City of Salem
Common Council

Every member of the council was pres-
ent at the regular meeting OF that body
Tuesday night, although but little busi
ness was considered. NJ. L. Hamilton
presented his bond and petition for the
renewal Of a liquor license. M, Fried
man asked permission TO remove for four
days of each week to his old location
just across the street from his present
position on State street, and the request
" as granted.
Alderman Riggs brought up the mat
ter Of the wood supply for the coming
year, and it was referred as last year to
the committee on public property, con-
sisting of Riggs, ohle and Sims.
A motion was lost relating TO the
streets OF the city. 1t was asked that an
ordinance be passed requiring everyone
70 keep the streets clear OF rubbish of
any nature that was left from repairing,
etc. As this would entail great difficult
ties and probably great expense, IL was
decided not advisable to take sction in
the matter at present.
The ordinance relating to the grading
OF part Of High street was amended as
follows:
