About this time, it is said. w w
Dickson, chief postoffice inspector OF
Philadelphia, discovered the theft of
mail pouch containing bank remit
tances from Philadelphia to Pittsburg,
the entire amounts being estimated at
$685.
1t is alleged that during the last ten
days complaints were received at As
bury Park banks that checks accepted
by them had been tempered with;
that the names Of the payeesahad been
erased and Crosby's name inserted,
and that small amounts had been
raised on larger ones.
1t was recalled that mail pouch
haaa,been stolen at Springfield juno
ton, Ill.,, last April, and that an A. E.
Hammond had opened cash account
at the Lincoln Trust company, St
Louis depositing
Number Of Altered Checks

suspected that the mall pouch robbery
was committed by A. e. Bell, alias
Crawford, whose photograph was iden-
titled by the officials Of the st. Louis
bank. .es'''
Investigation at Asbury Park de-
Tveloped that Crosby was none other
than A. e. Hammond, alias Bell, alias
CroWford Postoffice Inspector ia
cobs traced him to Denver, where he
was arrested last night.

numerous postoffice robberies in New
York, Buffalo and other cities. He is
said TO have made big haul In Buff
falo some time ago, when he dis
guised himself as railway porter

TWAIN FAvoRs RACE.

old Time Boating Contests on the
 Mississippf Recalled.
 NEW YORK, March 31.--Mark Twain has recalled the days when he was u pilot on the Mississippi river in a letter to ex-Goyernor David R. Francis, pres {dent of the St. Louis exposition com mission, in response to Sir Thomas Lipfon's suggestion that series of old time steamboat races be inaugurated as feature of the exposition.
 Mark Twain wants a genuine repro duction of the old time race. with ne- gro roustabout charity singers, the use of the torch basket rather than the searehligllt and the extinguishment of the latter day. government lights so hat the quality of the piloting would ount where the boats are evenly natehed in speed.
 H As spectacle,' writes Mark Twain, $snothing could add to it except an old time blow up as the boats finished the homestretch. But this should not be arranged. It is better left to Provi- denee and prayer

New Orleans Flood situation.

NEW ORLEANS, March 31-The acarrying away of additional cribbing Int the Hymelia crevasse has brought |the forces that have been at work there to the verge of abandonment of attempting to close the break. Later in the day, however, as result of several conferences it was agreed to continue the undertaking. The break is close to TOO feet in width, with the ends steadily melting away The mighty torrent is filling the lakes and bayous to the rear, and in the next fortnight the wbole basin from the La &Eourche to the lower limits of cultiva- Fable land in Plaquemine is likely to go lnder water, causing inestimable dam
 ge and much suffering. The Texas
 nd Pacific road Is now hopelessly in
 olved with water running deep over
 1e tracks and with little hope of an
 riy resumption of traffic.

DANGER OF COLDS AND GRIP.

The greatest danger from colds and grip is their resulting in pneumonia. If reasonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain's Cough Remedy ta- ken, all danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for these diseases we have yet to learn of a single case having resulted in pneumonia, which shows conclusively that it is a certain pre- ventive of that dangerous disease. It will cure a cold or an attack of the grip in less time than any other treat ment. It,is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by all druggists.

DEER CHASE AT SULPHUR.
In Which Doc Jackson Ruins his Repu-
tation as a Marksman.

Sulphur Springs is rather a live
ly resort just now. There were
eleven permanent camps there last
Sunday, and perhaps hundred
persons went there in conveyances
for the day. A deer chase was one
of the entertaining features of Sat-
uday last. Four deer were feeding
on an open hillside at the Springs
! and they were seen by the campers.
There was an immediate rush for
shooting weapons of all calibres
from the 22 shortto the 1910, and
shot guns of which several were
provided only with number E shot
Two or three pistols were also re-
Questioned. The army of would
be deer slayers started out to sur
round the deer by skulking through
the encircling woods, but before the
other hunters reached their sta
tions. Doc Jackson acquired a posi-
ton from which he thought he,
could bring down one OF more of
the deer. He began firing, but the
game apparently could not locate
its enemy, and stood still. Doc
continued the onslaught. though oc-
Lcasionally having to desist until the
dust which he raised about the deer
would clear away. When the mag
azine of Docs gnn was empty he,
began to refill it, during which pro-
cess the game was not in view.
When he arose to renew the attack
the deer had become alarmed and
bounded into the woods. Mr.. Jack
son thinks they took to flight be-
cause one of the number had been
wounded, and there is. some corrobo- !
rative evidence to sustain his opin- |
ion. After that the hunt was con I,
tinued and various members of the |
party saw deer again nevertheless
there was no venison brought into
camp that day.

SELLING PRUNE VINEGAR.
Douglas County Man Shipping a Car
Load-Its Origin was at OAC.

John Chapman. of Wilbur, Doug
las County. according to the Rose
burg Review. has a carload of prune
vinegar ready for,.shipment. The fact
that waste prunes could be profit
ably converted into a fine vinegar
was first demonstrated by Prof, Per-
not at the college, who made such
vinegar and issued a bulletin on
the subject. The bulletin gave full
directions of the methods to be en-
ployed, and likewise announced
that germs for the purpose would
be supplied on application. Both
the bulletin and the germs have
been, applied for by great number
of people. and the proposed ship
ment of a car load of the finished
product at Wilbur is one of the re-
suits.
The one particular in which
prune vinegar differs from the pu-
rest cider vinegar is in the color,
which. in prune vinegar is dark.
This, instead of being drawback,
is an advantage. The cider vine
gars are all the subject Of counter
feits and limitations made of acids
and other unwho1esome materials,
detrimental to health and worse
than worthless as diet. The dark
er color in the prune vinegar will
be a stamp of purity, and on this
account, the product will probably
be sought when placed on the mar
ket.
Prof. Pernot now has at the col
lege many barrels of pure vinegar,
which is tar above the requirements
in acid content, and save in color,
is perfect in all the essentials of a
first class commercial vinegar. It is
to be placed on the market early in
the autumn.

WITH A BIG SNAKE.
Commissioners Irwin S Experience with
One-How it Surprised him.

Commissioners Irwin S Experience with
One-How it Surprised him.
Commissioners Irwin has had an
experience with snake. The COM
missioner is of Irish descent, and
the antipathy of the Irish for snakes
is of due and proper record. In
the present instance. it may be sol
emnly asserted in the beginning of
this tale that, his friends have no
suspicion that it was snakes. and
not snake with which the amiab1e
commissioner had the following en-
counter.
The commissioner was putting
out poisoned wheat for squirrels. It
is his habit to put the poison as far
down the hole as possible, and in
doing so he usually inserts his arm
inthe opening. He was in a squat
ted position and with his arm up to
his elbow in the hole, he leaned
forward to adjust the poison. A
sudden disturbance in the hole
caused him to withdraw his arm
quickly. At the same moment, the
ugly head of a huge snake along
with two feet of its big body sud.
denly shot UP from the aperture.
The reptile hissed loudly as its head
appeared within few inches of the
commissioner face.
Itis customary in the novels to
say that the scared man stood root
ed to the spot. It was not so with
Richard. He wasn't rooted to any
thing. Instantaneously and unhesi-
tatingly, he Topped back somer-
sau1t, scattering poisoned wheat in
all directions as he went. He had
an idea that the snake was ratt1er,
and that its next act would be to
coil itself around his official neck.
He didn't wait for developments,
but from his somersault, alighted
on a11-fours and a running. He
was half way down the hill and
still travelling on his hands and
knees when he looked back for the
first time.
To his surprise the snake wasn't
after him and he turned back to
reconnoitre. In due time he saw that
his enemy had emerged full length
from the hole. The serpent was of,
yellowish tint with big black dia
mond spots. Inside his stomach was
a squirrel, newly swallowed, whose
shape could be distinctly seen. The
body of the snake was as big as
mans arm and was shining and
bright from the effects of newly
shielded skin. Its length, subse-
quently measured, was found to be
five feet and two inches. 1t is of
the species that some call built
snake and others a blow snake.
After discovering that he was
himself unhurt, the commissioner
showed fight, and in due course Of
time, killed the reptile, which has
since been the marvel of the neigh
borhood.
