S SessarSsT !, chase ibs PLEADED pleaded gully
Court to charges of burglary and
larceny. Judge Mckinney sentenced
to four years on the first count and
three o nthe second in the state peniten-
tiary. making seven years for him to serve.
Kay broke into Bartold''s barn and stole

for seventy miles to Sullivan, Mo-. where he
captured him after a shotgun fight. He

Tertiary about three years ago.
At that time Kay was sentenced to "
years for stealing a team of mules and
wagon from Justus w. johnson of Meramec

signalized the event by stealing Bartold's
team.

CITY ITEMS,

WE wonder why it is that the CRAW-
FORD Furniture wagons are always more
heavily laden than any other furniture wag-
ons. a very simple thing to answer: Be
cause they sell the most furniture, Why do
they sell the most furniture? Because they
carry the biggest stock. have by far the
greatest variety, have by far and ava the
largest floor space of any store we have
ever seen to show 1t in. l5OxlS5 feet on one
floor. The Furniture Department is only
one of 1S2 departments in this great mer-
camille Institution. and is looked upon by
the management as only a side issue!! Fur
niture can be sold in this cosmopolitan mar
ket at a gross profit of 5 per cent without
loss or great gain TO the firm. while In the
exclusive Furniture Store. which has to
pay all the rent, all the taxes. all the light
and heat, all the water license. all the ad-
vertising. all the horse feed and shoeing.
all the steam power for elevators. all the
tear and wear of everything. all the bread,
butter and clothes for the bosses. their
wives and daughters. same for their en-
ployes, etc, cannot escape from loss under
a gross profit of from 70 to 100 per cent?!
The only melancholy part Of the story is,
alas, that 1t is too true!!

Staying HEDGEHOGS
IN MAINE FOR BOUNTY.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL

SPECIAL.
Bangor. Me-, May 2-The Maine Legisla-
ture passed a law last winter granting a
bounty Of 25 cents for each porcupine killed
within the limits of the State. Immediately
every man and boy in the rural regions
went to killing hedgehogs, and the bills
have begun to come in at an alarming rate.
The State Treasurer Is receiving bushels OF
letters from hunters and town treasurers,
telling of multitudes of hedgehogs killed.
One man says he has 100 noses and he
wants s2S quick; There are hundreds more
IKE MIN. One town treasurer has already
used up Ia application blanks for bounty
and calls for more.
In Cherryield and that vicinity the
slaughter OF hedgehogs is surprising. Town
treasurer Nickels says that II the killing

required to clear them out. They have
taken possession Of old camps and turned
them into breeding places, and, as a logger
says. are "as bold as pigs"
Now that the slaughter of the prickIy
pests has gotten well under way it has
been discovered that two mistakes have
been made. First of all the law says that
the. bounty or 20 cents a head shall be
paid on .porcupines." when. as a matter
of fact. there are no porcupines in Maine:
second. the hunters. after having killed
thousands Of the animals, have just dis
until April e.. Maine people generally re-
fer to the hedgehog as a porcupine. but
there is q considerable difference between
the two animals. Both have quill-like
spines. but the porcupine has them only
on the rump and tail, while the hedgehog
is spiked all over from tail TO snout. What
will be done about this error remains to be
seen. but It is likely that the porcupine
bounty will be paid on hedgehogs. as there
is no question about the identity Of the
pests.
The State Is likely to find its bounty fund
shy early In the war, for only $500 was APP
propriated for a year, and enough hedge
claims prior to April % be allowed. to use
up more than half that sum.
A few years ago the State offered a boun-
ty on wildcats. but 1t was soon found nee
essary to repeal the law, so rapidly did the
claims pour in. 1t was discovered , that
claimed had been killed in Canada, where
the cats abound. and there is fear that this
same trick will be played In the hedgehog
war, for while Names eastern section IS
