Work of ProsessionnIs.

The retail grocery store of J. c. P. Heinz. at the corner of Water and Division streets, in the eastern part of the city was discovered open this morning. The safe had been blown open during the night and robbed of about $500. The job has all the ear marks of the professional, but the po- lice force is at a loss for a clue.
 The robbery took place at about 3 o'clock this morning as residents in that part of the city about that time heard distinctly three different reports. No attention was paid and this morn- ing 1t was discovered that the store had been robbed and reports were re- called.
 When the store was open, the door of the safe was found lying several feet away from where the safe stood All the windows in the building had been shattered. and papers that had been in the safe were found scattered all over the floor.
 Around the edges of the safe was found a thin layer of soap. supposedly to deaden the sound of the explosion
 A chiseI was found in the store this morning. and 1t Is supposed to have been used to pry up the doors of the safe as much as possible so that fuses could be inserted. The police are posi- tive that the job Is not the work or local criminals.

 The members of the committee urge that subscription for stock Is by nc means a donation. They firmly believe that the stock of the Alabama Agricul- tural Association will yield handsome dividends and no trouble is anticipated in raising the $50000 capital required Indeed, the Association Is not welded to a $50.000 capitalization. The capi- tai stock can be raised to any amount and will be if the response of the bus mess interests Is anywhere near as large as it Is expected to be.

war to divide the remaining vacancies
between the qualified enlisted men and
such civilians as he may select from g
list of several hundred applications
from that source. There is great inter
est, the military authorities find, in
these appointments, and the civilians
show a great desire to enter the army
at time when promotion to higher
grades threatens to be more impeded
than ever before. This prospect Of
stagnation is veritable problem
which army officers have undertaken to
solve, the most formidable Of the
measures of relief being a system of
elimination devised by Gen. William
Crozier, the chief of ordnance of the
army. The enlisted men who have
come up for special instruction, with a
view to appointment to army commits
sions, are not at all disheartened by
the prospect, and probably knowl'
edge of the unpromising outlook of be-
ing old lieutenants does not deter civil
ians with military ambition from send
ing in them applications.

DUTY OF THE LEGISLATURE.
(Oregon oriano.)

1t is a duty of the legislature to
elect Jonathan Bourne to the United
States senate from Oregon. Jonathan
Bourne Jr. came before the people of
Oregon as the champion of statement
No and by that platform he won out
with a handsome majority. This dem
onstrates to the oriano that the people
believe in the initiative law as it is
placed before us and that the people
after they have passed law wish TO
uphold 1t. The legislature is now bound
to respect the peoples wish. j. n.
Hart and c.. L. King are our repre-
sentatives in the state legislative and
each is pledged to vote for Jonathan
bourne Jr., and each will do so, an
they should. The method of log-rolling
everything in order TO land the special
United States senate that is desired
is out Of date and the people don'i
like il. They want the legislature 4
leglslate and not sell out 10 the high
est bidder for cash or the spOils of vie
tory. The people elect their officer
to respect their laws and wishes, an'
the officers elected must properly d
their duty and they will.
