UNCLE SAM ROBBED
OF over $4,000.
Money Disappeared as Complete
ly as If ii Had Vanished
From The Earth.

Chicago, FEB. 25.-One of the
largest, if not the largest theft from
the United States Treasury has been
unearthed in Chicago.
Somewhere between $175,00 and
100000 was stolen from the local
Sub-Treasury last week. The money
has disappeared as completely as if
it had vanished from the face of the
earth.
The authorities here and in Wash
ington have been working night and
day on the robbery since it was dis
covered.
Chief Wilkie, of the United States
secret service, has been informed by
telephone of every development,
and according to Geographic advices.
he will leave Washington to take
personal charge of the investigation.
Secretary Shaw, of the Treasury
department, was told of the gigan-
tic theft when in Chicago last week,
and was in conference with Sub
Treasurer William Boldenweck and
secret service officials.
The money was stolen either a
week ago last Saturday or Monday.
The chances are that it was abstract
ed on Monday. The loss was dis
covered on Tuesday.
All the money taken was in large

retail Dealers
THROUGHOUT KY.
Must Label Food Products
Pure" or "Adulterated."
Health Authorities Are to See
That Consumers of Food and
Drugs Are Protected.

That the Kentucky health authori-
ties are determined to see that the
consumers of foods and drugs
throughout the State are protected
to the letter under the provisions of
the pure food act is evidenced by a
recent ruling of the state pure food
department. This ruling insists that
retailers must label all adulterated
food and drug products and a vigor-
Gus campaign is being conducted
particularly among the retail gro
GERS of the state, so that the consul
mer may know exactly what he is
purchasing.
Lard, vinegar and pepper are the
particular objects of the solicitation
of the state health authorities. The
provisions of the national pure food
law are complied with by the labelling
in bulk of these food commodities
by the wholesalers. but the health
authorities will insist that the re-
tailers also label their packages to
show what they contain. For in
stance there is large sale of lard
containing beef stearine, which the
wholesaler is compelled to label "A
Compound" vinegar not made from
apples and pepper containing olive
pits must be labeled "adulterated."
Investigations recently conducted by
the health authorities have been
properly labeled by the wholesalers,
but the retailers have failed to so
label packages containing them.
= One of the state health officials
said recently that hereafter all re-
tail grocers would be required to
label all barrels, tubs, jars and cans
containing these and other articles
offered with the same labels they
bore from the wholesaler. I'VE will
give them the greatest possible lee
way" he said, "but where we find
the sale of adulterated articles not
so labeled we shall prosecute vigor-
ously."
The national pure food law re-
quires only these articles need be
labeled in bulk, but the state pure
food law requires whoever sells them
shall label them also.

Libel SUITS
TO BEDISMISSED.
Inquirer Makes Correction for
Woodward and DeWeeSe.
Publication Was Made In Connec-
ton With Death Of Miss
Prudie Ford.

At the time of the sad death OF
Miss Prudie Ford, who committed
suicide here little over year ago,
the Owensboro Inquirer and Messen-
ger. for some reason, published gar
bled extracts from letters left by
the young lady and the Messenger
commented upon them in a manner
which seriously and very unjustly re-
flected on County Attorney Wood
ward and Superintendent James De-
+, ,Weese. They at once filed libel suits
against both papers, however, not
until they had sought to have the
papers make the proper correction.
The Inquirer has now done this and
as consequence the suits against
that paper will. be dimissed. These
gentlemen have never had any mo-
tive in instituting the suits except
to be set right before the public.
Under the head, San Error Correct
ed" Wednesdays Inquirer contains
the following:
The Greensboro Daily Inquirer
deems it dirty to itself and its pa
irons, no less than to persons inJur-
ed directly, to correct any wrong
that might be done in the little time
left newspaper between the hap
ening of an event and its publica-
ton in the daily press.
Something like year ago this pa
per published an account of the
death of Miss PrudieGiord at Hart
ford, KY, and also what was repre-
sented to US as copies of letters left
to her father and sweetheart. These
letters were not correctly reported
to nor published by us in our issue
of March %, 1906, and their publica-
ton and the comment on them sub
jected Messrs. Ernest Woodward
and James DeWeese, of Hartford,
to some undesirable notoriety.
After careful investigation we
are persuaded that neither Mr.. Wood
ward nor Mr.. DeWeese either
threatened or inundated the un-
fortunate young lady, and so we
take pleasure in doing them the JUS
sice of making this publication.
NOTE BY EDITOR SMITH, the
Inquirer, when it says in the above
article these letters were not cor
rectly reported" refers to the re-
port of the letters obtained from me,
it either Intentionally misstates the
facts, or is in error. | answered an
Inquirer man over the telephone,
who purported to be Cicero Sutton,
and at his request read correctly to
him both letters left by Miss Ford.

To Use Automobiles For Collect
ing the Mail.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 26.-The
postoffice department has selected
Louisville as one of the places where
specially constructed automobiles
shall be used in the collection Of
mails. This reform in the postal
service is strongly advocated by the
department, and automobiles
specially constructed and equipped
in the manner of railway cars will
soon put out of business the horse
and cart as a means of collecting
mail in the larger cities.

Death of Promising Young Man.

Mr.. Leslie E. Wedding died at
Providence, KY, at an early hour
Sunday morning after several days
illness of typhoid fever. His death
was quite unexpected and informa
ton to that effect came as a great
shock to a host of relatives and
friends in Hartford. His remains
were brought to Hartford Monday
and after funeral services conducted
by Rev. J. A. Lewis at the Method
list church at 2:30 o'clock p. m, were
inferred at lakewood.
Mr.. Wedding was the son of DR..
S. j. Wedding. one of Hartford
leading physicians, and he had al
ways made Hartford his home. He
had been absent the greater part of
the past three years in the employe
Of the Cumberland Telephone
Co., and the L. & N. Railroad Co.,
being employed by the latter when
stricken by his fatal illness.
Leslie. as Mr.. Wedding was fa-
miliarly known here, was one of
Hartford's most promising young
men and his demise is sadly noted.

Doesn't Merit so Much Sacrifice.


Bill Bryan is not delighted with
Rockefeller on account of the latter's
gift of thirty-two millions of dollars
to education. In fact, in a recent
number of the Commoner he takes
this gift as the text for an unusually
bitter attack upon the oil man.
There is just one thing that Mr..
Rockefeller could do that would
make Mr.. Bryan really enthusiastic.
That is to die-and strangely enough
the President of Standard Oil does
not seem to think that the Nebras-
kan's enthusiams is worthy of quite
so much self-sacrifice on his part.

night. the former returning from
Charleston where he had been In at

preceded the senator for few days,

The senator is quite fatigued from
the hard work Of the regular and

closing days of each having been
quite strenuous to the delegates who
had to work both day and night. He
speaks very enthusiastically Of the
result Of the sQsa:ons and says the
people OF the State have cause. for
congisitulation that SO much good
and rierltorious work was accomp-
lished The important laws enacted
are az very beneficial and include
srch valuable measures as the two
cent Failroad fare law, the telegraph-
er's law. the ballot law. county and
city levies, the insurance measure,
the mining law. the inheritance tax,
the pure food law and the assess
ment Of property for taxation.
THE Democrats who are wasting
so much energy over an alleged de-
ficit,' said Mr.. Thorn, ARE talking
through teir hats. There is ne de-
felt nor will there be as the revenue
and appropriation bills were gone
over and constructed very carefully
to the end that there shall be none,
although It took hard and persistent
work to bring that about. There
has been great deal of misconcep-
tlon about this alleged deficit and
while some sources of revenue have
necessarily been curtailed and some
appropriations increased, the in
creased revenue from other sources
and the reduction In some appropria-
tions have been overlooked by those
inclined TO make a big boyle out of
the cry deficit"
