WOULD NOT kNEEL.
Mutiny of Five Hundred British Sail
ors at Portsmouth.

Portsmouth, Eng.-A mutinous out
break of 500 sailors Monday night
necessitated the immediate mobiliza-
ton of the entire force in the naval
barracks here to prevent the affair
from developing into a serious mutiny.
The men had assembled in the gymna-
stun when a senior officer, man OF
short stature, wishing to administer a
reprimand for breach of discipline,
ordered the front ranks to kneel so
that he could see the men in the rear.
The order was resented and some OF
the sailors who refused to obey were
arrested. Their comrades, aggrieveo,
ran amuck, wrecked the canteen and
started to break out of barracks, with
the intention of wrecking the quarters
of the obnoxious officer, and were only
prevented from so doing by the fixed
bayonets of an overwhelming force.

ILLINOIS BANK ROBBED.
Assistant Cashier Taken Into Back
Room and Bound.

LaSalle, Ills--The Farmers & Min
ers' bank of Ladd, mining town, was
held up and robbed Monday afternoon.
The assistant cashier, ]. j. Hurley
was alone in the bank, when two men
entered and, covering him with revol-
vers, ordered him to throw up his
hands. The robbers then marched him
to back room, where they bound him.
The robbers then helped themselves
to the cash and escaped. The amount
of their booty will be about $1,000, as
near as the bank officials were able to
estimate the loss. One of the two
masked robbers guarded the street
door while the other scooped up the
cash. Some reports say that the
amount stolen is 100000. 1t was most
" in currency. The robbers had been
gone an hour before the robbery was
discovered and the imprisoned bank
official released.

From DR.. Willey's discussion of the
subject the conclusion Is reached
that the manufacture of alcohol on a
small scale is not likely to prove
profitable Because of the regulations
under which the farmer would be re-
quired to conduct his still If he en-
gagged in the manufacture, 1t is evil
dent that he must be content with
producing the raw materials and that
he cannot look forward to becoming a
