CHARGED WITH PERJURY.
81. T. Reddoch Bound Over Under S3,-
600 Bond-He Told q False Story,
Whereby Congressman Kitchen
Promised a Convict Pardon for
Bribe of $3.50.

Jackson. Miss, January 21.-M. T.
Reddoch. former postmaster at Yazoo
City, who served a term in the Nash
Vile prison for embezzlement of post
Office funds, was arraigned here today
on a charge of subordination Of perjury.
Reddock while prisoner in the peni-
tentiary claimed to have seen a letter
from Congressman Kitchin. of North
r. MdBrown in which, according to
fReddoch, the Congressman agreed to
have him pardoned for $3.50. Reddoch
further alleged that MoBrown sent the
money to Kitchen. After Reddoch got
out of the penitentiary he backed up
his statement to the department with
an alleged affidavit from J. A. Sherman,
who was commissary clerk at the pris-
on at the time, who deposed in his aff1-
davit that he saw McBrown put the
money in the envelope addressed to
Congressman Kitchin and mail the
same.
Reddoch was afterward employed to
work up the case by the department of
justice, SO it is alleged, but an investi-
CATION proved that Reddochs story was
untrue, that Congressman kitchin had
never written to McBrown and that
McBrown had never sent him money.
Reddoch worked for two months on the
Kitchin case and it is alleged after he
had received five or six hundred dol
lars that he sold the story to newspa-
| per, the Sunday before the November
election.
Reddoch was bound over today in the
sum of 5000 to appear before Commis-
sioner Geseley in this city on February
| End. He was arrested on affldavits
sworn out by Postoff1ce Inspector Rob-
erts E M. Fulton, of st. Louis, and w
| A. Greenaway, of Nashville, Tenn.

The journals Greatest
Circulation Achievement.

Last month, In commenting on It's
circulation statement for the month
previous, The Journal said: Now, yel-
low fever or no yellow fever, watch for
The Journals September circulation
record.
That September record is presented
today and 1T makes. we think, a very
significant showing and for more rea-
seas than one. IT shows that for the
month of September. despite the warm
weather. despite the ordinary between
season guinness Of the month, despite
the yellow fever which hurt an bust
ness on al sides-despite all of these
things-The Journals circulation eX-
ceeded all previous records, even going
ever the 5000 mark and topping every
former achievement by a magnificent
showing OF 5,2os average daily issue
Tor the month
AS an Illustration of what this circu-
lation record really means. a state
ment showing The Journals circula-
tion for the past five years viii prove
Interesting. 1t is as follows:

The Real Reason
for Their Thankfullness.

The Journal has long contended that
IL was not because Of free silver that
the organized wealth Of the country
brought about the defeat of W. j
Bryan for PRESIDENT in 1896, but be
cause Of the new declaration of indie
pendence which the democratic plat
form Of that year contained.
The recent developments resulting
from the investigation Of the insurance
companies confirm this opinion Mr.
Bryan's Commoner puts the matter
with force and expIcitness in the fol
lowing language:
Mr.. Mccall says that he thanks God
that BY contributing to the republican
party he helped to save the country
from Free Silver. IF the testimony
proves anything it proves that the in
sUranee magnates were more afraid OF
criminal prosecution than they were Of
Free Silver. They knew they were
guilty Of fraud, bribery Of Legisla-
lures, corruption Of politics and misuse
Of trust funds and they felt safer under
a republican administration.
That is the whole story, complete
and to the point. Free silver was
simply an incident-an accident as it
were-in the calculations Of organized
wealth, but it was used as a scare
crow with which the people could be
ana coerced into support
of the republican party.
The recent developments have prov
en- that some Of the loudest mouthed
Of honest money" were
then and are now guilty of some Of
the most dishonest and in some cases
absolutely criminal practices which
have ever been brought 10 light
The people in general. and some Of
the insurance policy holders In particu-
lar. are fast learning the true inward
ness Of the politics Of these apostles Of
honest money" And it may be added
that the information they are getting
is anything but a recommendation OF
character for these demi-gods Of the
high finance world.

Suggestions for
Keeping the CITY Clean.

The mayor Of the beautiful city Of
Denver has recently MADE some sug-
gestions 20 the people Of his city
which are intended to aid them in
making and keeping their city attrac-
tive. The suggestions are so good,
ana tley apply with such force to Pen
saooh - wen as to Denver, that The
JourfiT herewith publishes them and
commends them TO the consideration
.Of every citizen. There are twelve Of
them as follows:
]. Ii your store front. residence or
fence is dun or Glngy, order it painted
., IL your awning is old, torn or fad
ed. get a new one.
8. III your sidewalk, fence or gate
needs repairing. INK it.
g. Destroy the young weeds that are
starting on your property and on your
peighbOr'S property.
8. If your advertising sign is old or
faded. take 1t down or paint it.
6. Resolve never 10 throw paper in
the streets.
Z. Burn al the rubbish possible
allow no one TO throw it on the streets.
alleys or vacant lots.
8. Promise not 10 spit on the side
walk.
9. Organize q block improvement
society and allow no weeds 20 grow on
sidewalks, area or vacant property in
your block
10. Ask your milkmar, grOeeryman
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1905-10-01

ana expressman to have their wagons
painted
II. Irrespective Of the size of your
houses, make your lawn the finest.
u. Illuminate the front Of your store
In the business section.
Nothing could be easier than to fol-
low out these suggestions and nothing
would make a greater change in Pen
sacola than for all of our people to
do so. If everyone were to adopt
these twelve suggestions as his rule
Of life for the next three months, Pen
sacola would in that time become one,
Of the most attractive cities on the con-
tinent.
It is the little things that, all COM
bined, go to make a city dirty and re-
pellant or clean and attractive, as the
case may be. ana those little things
a scrap Of paper, a stray weed, a picket
Of the fence, a ragged looking lawn
those things can all be obviated by
little degree Of care and attention.
II is true that not everyone viii pay
attention to printed suggestions of
that kind. but when any considerable
portion of the people begin to observe
them the improved appearance of their
premises viii make an impression on
the balance which cannot fail to have
a salutary effect
Cleanliness adds as much to the self
respect of a city as it does to a man,
and the public has about the same
opinion of a dirty and run-dOwn-at-the-
heal city as It does of a dirty and I'M
tidy man.
Pensacola has been cleaning up to
pretty good effect during the past six
weeks, but she can still stand and con-
tinue to stand a great deal more Of it. /
If anyone is in doubt how to go at it, .
let him refer to the suggestions from
the mayor of Denver published above. |
They are good at all seasons of the
year and in every city in America.

Is are GentIe There


A correspondent in the Mariana
Times-Courier tells of a fishing trip as
follows: All went fishing to the Gravel
Lake on ChaUahOOchee River anC
caught fish almost without number.
After eating all we could eat, we d.
vided the fish and each pile was suffi-
cient to last a family several days.
Quite a number of these fish would
have weighed ten or twelve pounds
each. 1t is nothing strange for a
crowd TO catch five bushels or moro
fish out of these lakes; several of our
party say they have been there whes
eleven bushels were caught. Caps
are among the largest fish eaugl:
here. They frequently weight fifteen
pounds, and in appearance, they resem-
bel the sucker, and are very numeT-
Gus. They are very gentle as com
pared with other fish Run them out
of their beds and stand there a feW
minutes, they will come back and set
tie down on your feet, then you may
rub them and handle them in jhe
water, and even take them up, out
when the carp finds that he is entrap-
ped he sets up a desperate struggle
for freedom. This fish story may
sound too big to those not acquainted
with these river lakes, but it is never
theless a true story, as the people
here know.
