BOOSTERS SHOW FAITH.
Are Backing Two Industies for the
Welfare of the Capital City.

Welfare of the Capital City.
The gasoline engine plant, which
has been secured for this city by the
efforts of the Board of Trade, has
been encouraged substantially by the
support given by the young mems
Booster club.
The young Iowa men who landed
that plant in Salem invested all
their capital In the finest machinery
that money could buy and landed In
Salem with ample provision for op-
Grating capital and payrolls. But
the collap7e of fhe banking situa-
tion left them stranded with the
finest kind of security going beg
ging. and unable to raise a dollar.
The boosters came through mag
nificently by putting up the freight
for the young men to get their
plant, the city secured them a build
ing. and now the boosters are going
a step further and tiding them over
the period of installation and until
the banking situation becomes nor
NAL when they can get ALI the
money necessary to start up with 20
hands. The iron foundry and fruit
sprayer factory Is also being helped
out by the young men who do things
and do not ask 10 per cent month
before they will put up the simoleons
That is the spirit that will establish
manufacturing industries in the Cap
ital City, and no other Will, and es-
pecially when the Iowa yomng men
came here without asking a dollar of
q bonus.

A snlem Society Event.

There Is no use attempting to ac-
count for the certain fascinations
that military uniforms have for the
feminine heart. but there's no us3
denying It either, for a halo is
promptly cast abont any stalwart
youth and they are nearly always
stalwart. who agree to don the uni
form OF their country's fighting men
and even II their fights are but
mimic ones, the same halo radiates
and enshrines the uniform In the
heart OF nearly every American
maiden who boasts a spark OF pa
triotism and where is there one who
does not? Herbert Carter, who as
Lieut.. Parkes in the Royal Chef"
which appears at the Grand opera
house on Wednesday night has made
a distinct hit In the role, is a magnih-
cent specimen OF manhood and wears
"a uniform like veritable West
Pointer. Mr.. Carter Is conceded TO
possess one OF the best tenor voices
in opera, is magnetic and an actor
OF marked ability. The visit of this
gay glittering melange OF mirth and
melody TO Salem has awakened un-
usual society interest and will
doubtless score heavily with our
playgoers during its engagement
here.

MAIL BAGS STOLEN.
The Contents Were Registered and
the Value Placed as High
as $25oo0o.

Lincoln, Neb, Aug. PA high of
fetal in the mail service of the United
States admitted Tuesday that thres
bags of registered mail had been
stolen from a Burlington car between
Denver and Oxford, Neb
The sacks contained $250000 in
money and valuable papers and the
theft has caused a sensation.
Government officials are working
on the case, and the Burlington has all
of it's available detectives at work.
The mail was stolen from an east
bound car on the main line of the Bur
lington. 1t was to have been trans
ferred at Oxford from the Kansas City
train to the Chicago train.
Supt. J. M. Butler of the sixth di-
vision of railway mail clerks believes
the robbery took place just west of
the Nebraska line. Both mail clerks
were asleep while the train was pass
ing over long stretches of track with
few stations. Butler believes some one
slipped into the mail car and threw
three sacks out of the window. He
has ascertanied that the valuables
were all in two of the sacks, one be-
ing empty.

which waved out far out behind them
When they got to the edge of the bank
they would emit some sort of a ghost
ly yell and dive down out of sight.
Finally, when all the young girls in
the neighborhood began to get hys-
terics, discovered what was going on
and put stop to it by giving two or
three of the ringleaders a sound
thrashing and installing family of
beavers in the tunnel who vigorously
attacked all future intruders.'
The doctor laughed heartily as he
finished his little tale and concluded
by saying:
There have been occasional rumors
of ghost since then, know, but l
fancy that is the biggest mystery Car
ney-Croft ever had"
Doctor" returned seriously, there
is far greater mystery than that go
ing on here this very minute. Tint
tunnel is again occupied, by whom l
do not know, but the man or men who
are down there are in league with that
Bruce woman who lives in the new
cottage, and with jerks, the stage
driver. Moreover. these people are
connected in some inexplicable way
with Miss Weston, and the Bruce
woman, who seems to be the head and
front of the whole thing, has written
letters to Miss Weston, and even to
me, most Of which contain vague ref
erences to Miss Carney and threats
that"
THE Bruce woman written to youl"
exclaimed the doctor. why, my dear
sir, it is impossiblel / have known
the woman for a dozen years and she
cannot read a word or write letteri"
At that moment he was summoned
hUrriedly to Miss Weston's room and
was handed a telegram from Mac
Ardel which read:

COMPLAIN OF STOCK EXCHANGE
Kansas Attorney General Requested to
Act by the National co-opera-
tive Company.

Topeka, Aug. 24-Anti-trust suits
may be filed against the Kansas City
stock exchange within a short time by
the attorney general. T. w. Tomlinson
OF Denver, secretary of the National
Cooperative Live Stock Commission
company, and w. J. Todd of Maple
Hill, Kan, came to Topeka Friday and
had a conference with Frederick S.
Jackson, attorney general relative to
the suit.
These men have collected a mass of
evidence which can be used by the at
torney general and they are working
for more. The attorney general was
very busy with the county attorneys,
in session here, and did not have much
time to talk to the live stock men.
He promised to give consideration to
the matter at once.
According to the information filed
with the attorney general the live
stock commission men in Kansas City
have so tied up the business at the
Kansas City stock yards that a firm or
person not member of the exchange
cannot handle stock This had result
ed in some heavy advances in charges
so It is contended and the complain
ants allege that this works a great
hardship on the farmers and stock
men.

CHAPTER XIV.
A Drive In the Storm,

A moment later the doctor returned
hurriedly to the library for his medi-
cine case and said:
II wish we could get consultation
here in the country" he continued,
measuring out some powders with a
critical air and depositing them on
bits of paper which he had cut for the
purpose. Most of the deaths in this
part of the world are from accident or
old age, and a man with large city
practice and extensive hospital eXpe-
rience might possibly suggest some
means of prolonging her life for a
time. We cannot hope to save her,
but wish we could keep her till Car
ney comes"
Il have telegraphed my friend Mac
Ardel to come and help me solve the
mystery of the place" l ventured eau
tiously not wishing to hurt his pro-
fessional pride. you know he was
with me here last summer and we had
a number of very peculiar experiences
then, so he knows a good deal about
it already, and l thought We could
work together to advantage. Perhaps
he could be of service to you at the
same time"
"The very mani" exclaimed the doc
tor 81 know him well by reputation.
When will he arrive?"
IF my wire is delivered promptly he
can get here on the midngh. train" l
replied. Il know he will start at once,
for l sent for him at his own sugges-
ton, in response to letter from me
telling him of the tunnel affair, and l
think he has some very definite the
cries on the subject

toward the, door. Let me know the
he sets foot in the house.

"Then you know nothing of the inys-
terry of Carney-Croft? I asked eau
tiously, closing the door and speaking
in Town tone
1.-THE mystery of Carney Croft" he
exclaimed in bewildered surprise and
then his face relaxed and he smiled
pleasantly as he said: ooh! you mean
the ghost stories that were told about
here after Mr.. Carney died?"
WELL" 1 returned, ghosts or some
thing of the sort were really seen
about the place, were they not?"
His smile broadened as he replied:
"Oh, yes, some of the boys did rig
themselves up in sheets and play
spook for time, until l took hand
in it myself and drove them out. l
was going to send you word about it,
but / found it was only lot of boyish
pranks, and that they hadn't done any
harm beyond getting into the old tun-
mel by the river, and, of course, that
didn't amount to anything"
1.-The old tunnel!" l exclaimed in
well-feigned surprise. us there tun-
mel by the river?"
you never heard of it, of course
he went on, land fancy nearly every
one has forgotten it by this time.
When Mr.. Carney began to build here
he located his house some 200 yards
farther down the hill toward the wa
ter. He had plan Of running little
tunnel from the cellar to the river so
that ashes and other refuse from the
house could be taken out that way and
not clutter up the lawns or be seen
from the windows.
Just as this work was partially
the old dam, some two
miles up the stream, was demolished
and new one built about a mile be-
low This raised the water level I'M
til the far end of his tunnel was COM
pletely submerged and so he gave up
the scheme entirely and began new
cellar quite a distance back from the
first The partly finished tunnel and
the excavation for the original cellar
were covered over and had practically
1een forgotten by everybody except the
boys, who used to dive down and swim
INTO the hole in the summer.
Then, as say, they got the idea of
playing ghost and would run down the
lill in the moonlight with nothing on
out sheet or piece of old fish net

AS he left the room strove to col
lect my scattered thoughts and deter
mine the present aspect of the situa-
ton. If the widow could not write,
who, in heavens name, did send the
notes? 1t did not appear probable that
the doctor was wrong in what he had
said, and, moreover, the statement
served to explain the merriment Of
jerks when had accused her directly
of being the author of the letters.
Still, she had assumed all RESPONSE
bility for them, which was tantamount
to writing them as far as their prac-
teal features were concerned, and
finally decided that If they were not
her own work they must have been
written at her dictation. which really
amounted to the same thing.
l spent the afternoon in the library,
hoping that / might see Miss Carney
and at least offer her my sympathy in
her present trouble, even If said no
more at this time, but she did not
come down stairs during the entire
ooys anu az ohc othN LlC WOlu
by Mrs. Randolph that DR.. MacArdel
would be very welcome, not only be-
cause had asked him to come, but for
himself as well, and in the hope that
he might be of benefit to Miss Weston.
The storm had increased steadily all
day but. in spite of its fury and the
drifts that were piling up and block
ing the roads at every point, l an
nounced my determination to go with
the sleigh to meet MacArdel.
