The robbery and the open manner
in which the goods were disposed OF
read like fable. 1t comes out that the

painting, valued by Mr. Hartje at So,
600. was sold to washwoman for 50
by the gang, who didn't know the
value of the painting. and the police
are Now almost beside themselves
hunting for the washwoman. It is also
calmly asserted by one of those ar.
rested that Mr.. Hartje's fine violin,
for which he paid $500 was sold to
some one whom they don't know for
$150. This violin is now being sought
in the slums also. Pedestals valued at
$500 were taken off the wagon for
song because theye were too heavy
to haul around

of the recent election: IF Hearst had
not undertaken to sandbag the Demo

had made himself an integral part of

opinion, would have been a sweeping
Democratic victory. He would have
powerful ana important position IN II.
He did not take that course, however,

candidate In the democratic party
again. American people are always
willing to forget and to forgive. Hearst
can do much good yet. and if he hand
les himself with good poise and iudg-
ment. In matters generally, he can
accomplish much good He must aban-
don the wholesale abuse of every
body and everything and must con-
fine himself to attacking in clean way
those which he wants toassail. His
past offenses then may be forgotten

WHAT DOUGHERn STOLE
EXPERT SCORES THE PEORIA
SCHOOL BOARD
Even Ordinary Diligence wsula
Have Prevented shortaEe-Bsnk
and Beard Members Liable.

Peoria. H., Jan 3.-The report Of
the Everett audit committee on the
defalcations Of N. G. Dougherty was
made public at meeting OF the school
board. The total shortage for seven
years is s54l, ,40S, from which will be
deducted approximately $4,000 for un-
authorized but warranted expeditures
Everett gave II as his opinion that ths
total shortage for eighteen years would
fall slightly short of $1,000. 900, stat
ing that large amounts Of forged script
had been found In 1887 and 1889, but
no totals or estimates on thsse years
had yet been made.
The report scores the officers OF the
board, the treasurers and presidents
especially, the fianance and auditing
committees and the members OF the
board individually.
Everett declares that II the board, or
any Of It's officers, had used even Or
dinary diligence in the performance of
their duty the mulcting Of the fund
would have been impoesiblt, and that
the members Of the board are individ-
ually liable for all shortage which can
not be collected from Dougherty and
the Peoria national bank.
The report shows that s532, 900 of
the shortage was directly manipulated
by the cashing of fictitious script
through the Peoria national bank, Of
which N. c. Dougherty was president.
It declares that the bank is liable for
every cent Of this amount, and the
board, on the strength OF the report,
elected Judge David McCuilogh to act
as attorney in recovering from the
bank, instructing him to snjoin the
bank from further payment Of divi-
dends or other Disbursements until the
claim of the board should be adjusted
In the courts.
Senator OrviIle Berry, Of Carthage,
receiver for the bank was present at
the meeting and announced that he
would fght In the courts the attempt
To hold the bank Liable.

to Mrs. Emily L. Hill, president Of the
Cook county W. G. T. u, who asked
Gov. Deneen why he could not use the

the saloons violating the closing laws,
Atty. Gen. stead has written an opin-
ion, saying In part:
"Dramshops are regulated by the
same laws that govern assault and bat
terry, larceny and other cases, and It
would clearly be out OF the province
Of the governor to call out the troops
to enforce these laws. The fault lies
with the people themselves for the
non-enforcemsnt Of these laws, by rea-
son Of the people electng officers who
viii not enforce them"
