now UNCLE SAM DOES BUSINESS
WIN 90 to Lots Of Trouble for
Penny.

An incident connected with the clos.
ing of the Dnblin postofice some time
ago gives coed idea Of how Uncle Sam
does business. When the postmaster
Mr.. Morlan turned over the Office aud
made his report to the postoiiice de-
partmentit it was found in auditing the
books tlatbe had turned in one cent
toomuch. As soon as the mistake was
discover I'd the one cent was sent to Mr..
Wade with the instructions to turn il
over 10 Mr. Morlan and get that gentle
mans receipt for it. This necessitated
special trip to Dublin, but Mr., Wade
promptly obcyed the order and went
over TO Dublin, turned over the penny
to Mr.MorIal and triumphautly brought
back.a receipt for the same which was
sent to the postofiice department at
Washington where il probably rests
10 the archives Of the postoifice depart
ment.
While this may seem to have been
useless to some, all will undoubtedly
feel proLder of his country by reading Of
this circumstance.

Sick Refugees from South Scatter over
the Ohio CITY,

Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 15.-Of 200
refugees from the yellow fever districts
of Louisiana who arrived here yester-
day, five are held on suspicion of hay
ing the disease, while it is unofficially
reported that score of others who are
scattered thruout the city are sick and
may have the fever.
DR.. Clark W. Davis, health officer OF
this city, being notified by General Pas
senger Agent Rinearson that ne was
bringing about two hundred persons
from the south in special, sent DR..
B. f. Lyle and an assistant to board the
train at Lexington, examine the people
aboard and wire him.
Ambulances were at the train to re-
ceive the patients in response to a mes
sage from DR.. Lyle.
When the train reached Lexiagton,,
several persons who were sick, attemp-
ted to escape. but were caught by the
police and forced back on to the train.
They were taken to the Branch hospital
on their arrival here. All the other
passengers on the train were allowed
to go to their destination, but the
names and addresses of all were taken
and they can be reached by the au-
thorities if needed. Reports that a
large number of these were also sick
were Investigated by physicians dur
ing the day.
Fifty of party of 200 came up to
each eaei carried lot of hand baggage.
These fifty gathered together in a
group at the Grand Central station.
Congressman R. E. Ransdale Of Lake
Providence, La, was on the train, and
he and his family rendered every as
sistance to the stranded group of fifty.
At Tallulah, La, seventy-fve persons
boarded the train, but they did not
get on at the station. Knowing they
would have difficulty in getting out
of town, which is in the heart of the
fever district, they walked mile and
half, and there, when the engineer
stopped for them, the crowd Of men
and children got aboard. Some of
these are among the penniless ones.

EAST NOT CONVINCED
Youngstown Satisfied the Story Was In
spired by Joker.

Youngstown, Ohio, Sept. There is
little doubt that the alleged confession
of Charles Herzig at Minot, N. D., is a
fake. The man who died is Arthur
Young, a wanderer. He left note on
his body when he committed suicide
he formerly lived at Oregon City, Ore.
This was printed in the Minot Optic on
the same day that the story was sent
out from that city.
A copy of the paper was received
here today containing the story of the
suicide, but making no mention Of the
story. was sent out from Minot and that
Charles Grow was in that city is fairly
good evidence of the source Of the story
which the newspaper men made use of.
Grow is a joker and probably told
the newspaper men of the murder. He
sent the paper to friend in this city.

DENMARK MAKES A MOVE
Invites Powers Of Europe to Help Set

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, Sept. 15.-Denmark has
invited the powers of Europe to settle
the dispute between Norway and Swe-

here received dispatch today from it's
government, stating that the king Of
Denmark had addressed an invitation
to Great Britain, Germany, France and
Russia asking them to use their inftu-
ence to arrange the differences between
the disrupted Scandinavian kingdoms
so that peace would prevail in northern
Europe.
The action Of the powers on the Dan
ish invitation has not developed. The
language of the Danish note is such as
to leave it entirely to the governments
whose intervention has been requested,
to determine what they should do,
whether there should be merely moral
pressure or military measures, in case
Norway and Sweden refuse to listen to
their counsel.
