HIGHWAY ROBBERY
Stage Driver Throws a Side Light on
 Record of W. Nasauer

William Nasauer, now serving
 thirty-day sentence in the city jail for vagrancy, yesterday became a much more important person than he had
 hitherto been considered. He is the ladfthat told the tale O: being robbed sf his good clothes at Maricopa. Yes Fterday q stage driver known as Old Joe. and hailing from Florence. picked
 him out of the bunch confined in the city jail as the man who some time ago held up his stage between Flor ence and Casa Grande, took what
 money there was. .aYailable-and hiked out. Joe sad he had paid close at teRtfon to the robber as he always
 does for he continued, mo one ever
 holds up old Joe. without I catch up with him sooner or later and make him
 suffer for it.
 Joe applied to Officer Russell yester-
 day morning, telling him he had a
 stage rCbber in confinement. The officer hardly credited the statement
 for Joe was a stranger to him. How
 ever. he told him he could look over
 the animals in the show and see if there was anything there he wanted.
 As soon as the visitor entered the cor
 ridor of the jail he walked over to
 Nasauer and placing his hand on his
 shoulder said: "Your names Jacob
 son. and you held me up." Nasauer made no reply. He neither denied nor
 affirmed for whatever his record he
 knows enough about criminality to realize when not to talk. Nasauer's conduct impressed the officer with the truth of Joe's statement and later the stage driver said he had been here
 several days mixing with the hangers
 on about the saloons for the purpose of locating his man for stage driving has been a life business with him and he takes pride in the fact that he does his own detective work and does it right Whenever he Is held up he lays off till he gets the man he wants into the penitentiary and then he resumes work
 The officers told him that Nasauer. or
 Jacobson as the case might be. is safe for anyhow two weeks yet and he will therefore have plenty of time to go back to Florence and send the sheriff with a warrant. while he busies himself getting the evidence together. Later in the day the prisoner asked for ink ana paper saying he had some i'm portant letters to write Though Joe | told his surname the officers did not remember it and others of whom in 1 quiry was made said they did not know his last name but he was well known among the old timers by his nick name | of 'Old Joe. the stage driver"

In These Times OF Bribery.

If the law givers of Pennsylvania,
instead of seeking to muzzle the press
and thus to prevent the exposure of
bribery, had attempted some means
of checking that growing evil, they
would have merited the respect rath-
er than the condemnation of the peo-
pie of that commonwealth. Here are
four instances coming from as many
different parts of the country of
bribery practices told of in a single
day:
st. Louis.-Former State Senator F..
Busche makes full confession of
his part in boodling in the legislature,
and involves number of prominent
men.
Joliet, Ill.-Mayor Crolius says that
before being sworn into Office he was
offered $500 to make a certain APP
pointment to city office.
Lincoln, Neb.-Gov. Mickey tells of
numerous efforts to influence him in
appointments, and says proposals in
some cases included suggestions of
money consideration.
Boston.-The senate committee is
told of the proposal of a member that
he would save certain bill for $1,000.

The Fourth Supreme District.

Chicago Chronicle: The democrats
of the Fourth supreme judicial dis
trict have nominated Guy {. Scott, of
Aledo, as a candidate for associate
justice of the supreme court against
Justice Carter, named by the republi-
cans for reelection. The district is
composed of II counties in the middle
northwestern part of the state.
Mr.. Scott is one of the leading at
torneys of Illinois. He is man of
high attachments, of personal and
professional integrity and of deserv-
ed popularity. He was a candidate
for circuit judge in 1897, and on that
occasion carried his own county
(Mercer) by u phenomenal ma iority.
The democrats and many republi-
cans in the Fourth district expect
that Mr. Scott will be elected to the
supreme bench. This is the district
which was outrageously gerrymand-
cred by the legislature in order to
make it certain for Judge Carter,
but, the political injustice of this ac-
ton has impressed the people so
forcibly that he is likely TO lose more
republican votes than he will gain by
annexation of two or three republi-
can counties to the district.
Political craft and trickery often
react against the party which uses
unfair and violent means to maintain
Its supremacy.
Probably this case viii have such
result. The ballot box is a great
place for the vindicat ton of even
handed justice.
1t is fortunate for the people of the
district and the state at large that
the democratic candidate whose cleo
ton is thus Ioreshadowed is a man of
blameIess life and of great profess
sional ability. Mr.. Scott merits the
support of all democrats and of every
fair-minded republican in the district.

sonal, social and political-are at
work to throttle the investigation and
protect the wrongdoers, and there is
much reason to believe that these i'm
fuences are very potential with the
acknowledgement.
The charges thus far made effect
four important divisions. The most
important scandals in these divisions,
in which serious allegations of mis-
sonduct in office are made, may be
thus enumerated:
Collision of the chief of the law de-
partment with illegal concerns denied
the use of the mails.
Operations of the alleged Machen-
Beaver ring" for the distribution of
patronage and the selling of postoffice
promotions.
Unusual and illegal methods en-
ployed in the division of salaries and
allowances.
Alleged connection of Superintend-
ent Machen with mail box companies
and other contractors for supplies in
his division.
Distribution of supplies to various
postoffices in the country in excess of
their needs.
Collision in the supply department
with favored contractors.
While these are the important scan
dals there are many other charges
constantly coming to5the postmas ter
general involving various officials of
minor Importance.
Commenting on the existing state
of affairs the Indianapolis Seminal

ton vigorously and serve. notice of

partment under his administration.

Let No Guilty Man Escape,

The scandal in the postoffice de-
partment threatens to assume greater
proportions than any other govern
ment scandal that has come to light
since the days of Grantism. 1t looks
very much as if an earnest and sys-
temetic effort were being made to
minimize the scandal and cover up. so
far is possible. the rottenness in this
great department.
The magnitude of the business of
the postoffice department is scarcely
realized by the general public. The
receipts during the last decade
amounted to the enormous sum of
S121.S4S.047; the expenditures during
the same period were $124,S09,217,
showing an aggregate deficit for the
ten years of $2,961,17 The opportun-
ity for fraud and grating" in the
department has increased with this
tremendous development. and there is
probably now no branch in this or
any other government which affords
such wide field of operation for an
official of dishonest intentions as the
United States postoffice and its
scores of bureaus and divisions
Postmaster-General Payne's atti-
tude touching the revelations recent
~ made is not reassuring. He does
MOI appear to desire thorough and
sweeping investigation, which shall
bring all the erookedness and rascal
ity TO light and land the guilty man
in prison. If he is really in earnest in
probing the scandals he does not
show it. Powerful infuences-per-

The cartilage was torn from its place

From this opening with every exha-
