Wheeling, w. Va, Sept. 26.-It has
just leaked out here through postoffice
officials that the postoffice at Woods
field, O., thirty miles southwest of
Wheeling. was robbed of registered
letter last Monday night which con-
tanned $4,000 consigned from New
York bankers to Woodsfield people,
The receipt of the package was sup
posed to have become known only to
the postoffice people. .
The robbers secured entrance
through a back door, extracted the
package from the safe and made good
their escape. BloodhOunds have been
used to track the robbers without sue
cess, and the postoftice inspectors are
now ON the scene.

I. b. Smiley a cooper at turpen-
time camp near West Tocoi, together
with Mollie Bennifield his latest
matrimonial venture, are in the
county Jail in default of $500 bonds
each, ON the charge of bigamy.
The charge is made by Annie Smi-
ley, nee Horton, who claims that she
and Smiley We're married by Judge
NJ. |. Coke on July 4th, 1903, and that
on April I'd, 1904, Smiley, under the
name of r. n. Smiley, married one
MoIlie Bennifield-Sherrouse-G Gale,
and that these two have been living
together since that date as man and
wife against the dignity and morals
of the state of Florida in general and
the county of Putnam in particular.
Funny thing about this case is
that Smiley had the braZen nerve to
go before Judge Coke for the second
ceremony.
Judge Coke says that his records
show that he performed both cere-
monies, and under the names alleged,
but that he had never seen Smiley
except on these occasions and did not
know him in April as the man he
had married in July and would not
be able to recognize him now.
There is no doubt of Smiley's guilt
He admits it, but says that the mar
riage to the complainant was not
binding for the reason that she mar
ried him under the name of Smith
when in realty her name was Horton.
T n e Bennifeld-Sherrouse-G Gale
Smiley woman has also evidently
contracted the matrimonial habit.
As Mollie Bennifield she married
one Sherrouso. She quit him after
time and then married one Gale.
Then Sherrouse got divorce. AS
she was not divorced at the time Of
her marriage with Gale that marri-
age didn't count in law, so she was
free to quit Gale and marry Smiley,
or would have been had Smiley him
self been free.

casian race, though one would scarce

FACTS FROM THE FIGURES.

1t Will be borne in mind that JEFF
ferson county, like jackson. Lafay-
cite and Taylor, has 10 migrating
population entering it, but the popu-
latiOn either remains dormant or
slightly decreases.
On the other hand, De Soto county
is one of the counties which steadily
increases her population. Neverthe-
less, we find Jefferson county voting
about the same vote in the second
and first primaries, while in De Soto
less than 80 per cent of the qualified
white males over twenty-One years
of age went to the polls; while in
Jackson, Lafayette and Taylor coun-
ties, where the population either re-
mains stationary or but slightly in
creases, the aggregate vote at the
last primary is actually greater than
the entire number of white males
over the age of tweuty-one' years in
1900 who could read and write.
There is, | admit, something curious
in the heavy increase in De Soto
which should be investigated.
Taking counties which went either
for Rroward or Davis, and which
steadily increase their population,
we find the following result; In 1900

| am satisfied that my estimate is
fair and just one, and that | hav"
given the benefit of any error to Mr..
BrOward.
am willing to assert this, that il
Il fair election could be held in these
three counties of none but qualified
democratic voters US between the two
factions, that the faction represented
! by Mr.. BrOward in the recent pri-
mary would not obtain 2OU ma jOrity
| in these counties. 1t follows then
that the fraud in these three cuun-
| ties, without considering any other
counties, secured the apparent lna-
| jority for Mr.. BrOward, and that as Il
matter of fact Mr.. Davis was fairly
nominated by the democrats OF
| Florida.
Now, as some persons might not
| understand why the census of 1900
should be us, d as the basis of calcu-
| lallng the votes, to this | answer:
Because with very few exceptions,
there has been no great Increase in
the population OF n ma jOrity of the
counties in the past four years, and
certainly not in the three counties
named. These three counties in 1900
had an aggregate qualified white
male vote of democrats, republicans
and pOPuliStS Of 3,3l6 At the pri-
mary on June I, A. ID. 1901, these
three counties cast for governor 3,35l
votes or 80 more than they had white
qualified males in 1900. The census
of 1900 is valuable because, with the
single exception of Dade county,
which has noloriously more than
doubled her population in the past
four years, there are not half dozen
counties in the state of Florida that
have pOlled exceeding 90 to Is per
cent of the total number of their
white male population qualified to
vote according to the census of 1900.
SOME OTHER COUNTIES.
AS an illustration of this remarka-
BILE situation, will call your atten-
tiOn to the vote of some counties
which Mr.. Broward carried, in
which the population, with the ex-
ception of jefferson county, steadily
increases. The following named
counties contained in 1900 white
males, over twenty-one years of age,
that could read and write, as follows:

THREE RRowARp COUNTIES.

Now, let us see what the result
was. According to the official re-
turns of the last primary Mr..
Broward received u majority of 7l6
over Mr.. Davis in the entire state,

/ in counties like Lee and Volusia the
population is steadily increasing,
while in the other counties they
have either remained STATIONARY or
but Slightly increased.
| have taken these counties hap
hazard from different parts of the
state carried by Broward, and differ
counties carried by Davis, in which
no charges of fraud have been made,
with the single exception Of Duval
county. Examine the other counties
in the state and you will find the
same average proportion of voters
going to the polls. Does anybody
suppose that, honest conditions ex-
isting, Jackson, Lafayette and Tay-
Ior counties could possibly poll the
vote of every qualified white male
within their limits?
The man who will assert that this
is likely is either too blind u partisan
to reason with, or is too profoundly
ignOranC to waste breath upon.
such thing has never been known
IN the annals of elections III this or
any other county.
In closing his interesting article
Maj. St. Clair-Abrams says:

crat, | will not stand quietly by
without protesting against what 1
believe to be palpable wrong.
Even if the democrats who opposed
Mr. Broward are willing to submit
to the fraud, it is still their duty and
their right to have it exposed and
have the facts made public. Silent
submission to the wrong can only re-
suit in its repetition two years hence,

Is it not most significant and re-
markable circumstance that every

1900 should have gone to the polls
and voted in the last primary in
counties where the population has
had but slight increase, while in

 Main street, Mesa, was the assem- bling point of the procession and as early as S:@0 a. m. the streets began to be filled with horsemen, knights armed q with spears and carrying banners, and the sidewalks with the fair la dies, decked as May queens, whose hearts were aflutter with expectation of sovereign rule for the day.

POINTERS ON SENSIBLE SHOES
Hints to the Woman Troubled With
 Aching Feet.

The shoe that keeps the foot always in good condition must be first of all comfortable. The walking shoe should be an extension sole, so as to give q good base and prevent the foot from being turned by irregularities in the roadway.
 The toe of the walking shoe should be sufficiently broad to leave the toes of the foot absolutely uncramped. Any contraction of the leather which binds the toes even a little, must produce not only discomfort, but in the end dis ease. The broadly rounded toe is there fore important.
 The heel should be broad and not over one inch high. Rubber is applied to the bottom of the heel. to the inside of the heel. and in the form of a pad placed inside the shoe. The principle in each of these is excellent. No one should walk on a solid heel.
 The instep should be laced with diagonal lacing instead of straight across, or in such way as to permit the upper to fit itself to the shape of the foot freely.
 The lining of the shoe plays an inn portant part. It must be carefully put in and it must not wear out quicker than the upper part of the shoe.
 The upper of the shoe should be

EFFECTS OF THE WIND.
Considerable Damage Done About
 Town. The Normal Suffered.

The worst dust and wind storm that Tempe has experienced in a long time. kept things moving around town most of Sunday afternoon and the greater part of the night It was worst about dusk or a little after For a time it looked as if it might blow up rain. and east and south of town a few drops fell.
 Yesterday morning everything in :Own was dusty, even the trees show ed the effects of the dust, and many of them were blown over and had limbs broken off.
 At 7:45 the lights went out and the entire town was left in darkness. A wire was blown down out on the Mesa road. It was repaired yesterday and they were all right again last night.
 Some time after o'clock tree standing near the scales at the Ryder lumber yard fell striking the scale box and demolishing it and doing other damage to the scales. A carpenter was busy all day yesterday repairing it.
 The worst damage was done at the normal. When the wind was at it's worst, the west door on the lower cor ridor blew open giving the wind full force through the hall. In this corridor are hung the class pictures and also one of Frances William, which was presented to the normal by thesladies of the W. c. T. U. The wind blew
