FRAUDS At monte CARLO.
Gamblers May be Interested But
None Others Care.

Paris, June 21.-MOnte Carlo has
been considerably stirred up by the
discovery of a series Of exceedingly
clever frauds on the part of employees
of the famous gambling casino.
The plan was for a confederate to
hand to a croupier a five hundred
franc note for change, and the crou-
pier would give him, instead of five
hundred francs, a thousand francs.
OF course the croupiers and the
banker of the table at which the con-
federate presented his note were nee
essarily in league, otherwise the
scheme could not have been worked.
The affairs of the casino are kept
very secret, and it is not known how
much the syndicate managed to steal,
but there is no doubt that the amount
was a very large one.
All Of those concerned have been
expelled from the principality.

Every now and then some wild rumor

and always without truth-that Colds

Really, there ought to be a statute

wontonly harrass the community in
this way.
If there is any one thing in Cords

1t is the best in the world, because it is
pure. Every month since the plant

call and examine them.
Goldsboro has a worldwide renown
for the excellence of it's water, and it is
on record here where cities of foreign
lands have written here for drafts of
our plant.
Not only is our water pure, but its
tributaries-the water sheds of Little
river for fifteen miles up stream, are
protected by statute and the territory
regularly inspected and its wholesome
surroundings maintained.
Consequently, when you hear any
wild rumors of polluted water from
the city's pipes-just nail it, please,

and opposite ''odor' on that blank he
writes ''earthy." And there you are.

MUNSEY'S new idea.
The TWo-fOr a-Quafter Magazine Is
the LARGEST Ever Published.

An innovation that is without ques-
ton the greatest that ever happened in
magazine publication has come with
the first appearance of the new t Mum
sey idea for July. Like of Mr..
Munsey's undertakings, it is a little
startling, but it will grow you.
Briefly, it is a magazine in two olumes
under separate covers, but a1lder one,
name. The name is The Scra.5 Book
magic name that made a great maga
zine a great success from the start. Mr..
Munsey says there isn't room enough
within one cover to make a big enough
and strong enough magazine to satisfy
the reader of today.
The Scrap Book in its new form is
the largest magazine ever published
the biggest moneys worth to be had
Its conception seems only natural to
the man who has achieved fame by siz-
ing up the wants of the reading public
and then filling the want.
Every phase of life, every topic OF
interest, every subject that has the
worlds attention, is told Of in picture
and story. 1t is truly reflector of
public sentiment-a mirror of the
worlds events. 1t deals with things
timely and draws interesting compari-
sons with things OF the past.
Stories of great disasters, reports of
big achievements, comments on IA
nous trials, side-lights on everything
of human interest, having their place
in it's 1872 pages-yet this is only half.
The other half is 160 pages of pure
fiction-the kind that tugs at the heart
strings, the characters in which take
the form of life and become your ac-
quaintanceS.
1t is fiction such as only Munsey is
famed for as the pioneer in the publi-
cation of the aIl-fiction magazine.
There is not picture break of any
kind in the 100 pages of the good solid
kind of stories that make such an ap-
peal to the American love of romance
and adventure.

San Francisco, June 21.-The petition
for a Writ OF Habeas Corpus, filed last
night, by Mayor Schmitz's attorneys
has taken the prosecution by surprise
and the result is awaited with keen
anxiety.

other things that Rudolph Spreckles,
the sugar magnate, and his crowd are
behind the prosecution and desire to
destroy him so they can get control of
the city's affairs, to their own advan-
tage.

ceived at the postoffice here:
1. Postmasters are notified that un-
der a new contract for the manufacture

deliveries on their acquisitions are not
made in the usual time, and avoid un-
necessary correspondence on the sub
ject. To prevent their supplies from
