MERELY A BOOK ERROR
BOOKS FOUND CORRECT
Believed That Theft Has Been
Definitely Located on Tdker
OF the Money.

Chicago. Feb. 25,-The Tribune
says today that one OF the largest, of
not the latest thefts from the United
States treasury has been unearthed
In Chicago. Between. si75,000 and
100000 was stolen from the local
sub-treasury last week. The money
disappeared, leaving no trace. The
authorities here and in Washington
have been working night and day on
the robbery ever since the discovery.
The money was stolen either a
week ago last Saturday. or else last
Sunday or Monday. The loss was
discovered Tuesday. All the money
was In large bills, being denomina-
tions of $1,000, $4,000 and $40, 900.
1t was first believed to be an error
of bookkeeping, but on checking up
1t was found to be robbery. Two
clerks are suspected, but nothing
tangible has been found against
them.

SENATE WANTS CONGRESS
ACT ON FOREST RESERVES

Washington, Feb. 25.-When th-
agricultural appropriation bill was
taken up in the senate today the Full
ton amendment, providing that nc
forest reserves shall hereafter be Gre
ated or enlarged without an act of
congress, in the states of Oregon,
Washington, Idaho, Montana, Colo
rado and Wyoming, was adopted
without debate.
An amendment adding s1,0Ge.00O
to the appropriation for the improve
ment of forest reserves was alsl
adopted.
The amendment that hereafter the
date of inspection ana canning must
be placed on the label of meat pro-
ducts, was agreed to.
Beveridge then offered his amend
ment, placing the cost of meat In
spection upon the packers, and took
the floor to address the senate on Its
necessity. Warren gave notice tha
at the proper time he would make 1
point of order against this amend
ment,

May be Bookkeeping Error.

Chicago, Feb. 25.-When inter
viewed today in regard to the rob-
berry of the local L. s. treasury.
Treasurer Boldenweck admitted that
theft of $173,000 had been perpe-
trated, but refused to go into details.
1T is true that what and other gov
ernment officials believe to be a gi-
gantic steal has been perpetrated in
the sub-treasury, ne said '"The
amount l believe will be $175,0 900.
At present l cannot go into details as
to what work we have done In the
case. We discovered the shortage
last Wednesday when the books of
the sub-treasury were balanced for
the day. There Is a possibility that
the shortage Is due to an error in
bookkeeping, but / am inclined to
believe that a robbery nas been COM
mitted,"

My bet may not now be such good
one.
Mr. Broussard won't run, Mr. Jas
trcmski has been left at the post, and if
Mr.. Wilkinson has any money, he has
not yet found out how expensive it is to
be rich with some of the country editors
Of Louisiana.
Please give this correction as promi-

headlines referred to.

Mr.. J. c. FOSTER
Candidate for Councilman at Large
Election July Thirtieth.

In this issue Of The Caucasian is pub
lished the formal announcement of Mr.
J. c. Foster as a candidate for Council
man-at-L Large, which will be received
with satisfaction by his hosts of friends
throughout the corporate limits
1t may be said that Mr.. Foster was
disnclined to enter the list political, but
finally yielded to the urging of his
friends.
In Mr. Foster the citizens of Shreve
port who favor good government are of
fered gentleman who is progressive
and successful business man, who is pos
sessed of broad views, whose guide is
duty, and who will not fail to prove true
to every principle and every obligation
devoling upon him as man and rep
resentative of the people in the City
Council
Indeed, much could be said in praise
Of Mr. Foster, who is no seeker Of no
torety or publicity. and suffice it to say
that should Mr.. Foster be elected, the
city will have in him representative
who will be a credit to the community.

loriaI campaign, the Plaquemlncs Pro
tector Of recent date has the following
to say cditorialy:
PASS THE PIE. PLEASE.
Virginia was once called the mother
Of the presidents. Somc Of the citizens
of st Mary parish are trying hard to
achieve for that parish the same dis
tinctlon as TO the Governors Of Louis
lata
1T was somewhat amusing to read Of
MIR. Sanders appeal To parisl, pride.
when he recently claimed IN his very
short speech at Morgan City that ne had
conc to his native parish to open his
campaign
we thought he had been on Il grbcr-
Material campaign for two years. Posi-
bly, the Lake Providence meeting and
other places he made speeches at were
contributions TO the political Jack pot
before he had openers.
But about that appeal to parish pride
We. too. arc proud Of St Mary, that
Eden Of Louisiana. where everything is
lovely. and her men are brave and
bralny. and her women are fair and ac-
conpished. But St Mary. in all the
Democratic feasts Of yore. has not had
an elegant sulliciency. and do you not
know that grecdincss breeds dyspepsia
When in that splendid fight against
the lottery. your Murphy J. Foster ran
for Governor. and Theodore S. Wilkin-
son was the presiding officer Of the con
vention that nominated him and chair
man of the State Central Committee
that led his victorious fight. we glorihcd
in your success.
when another Of your sons, that
strong, rugged old Democrat. Don CAT
frey, became our United States Senator.
we too said Bully for St. Mary!
when your favorite son, Murphy J.
Foster. was again nominated for Gov
ernor in 1890. St Mary, you had our
helping hand.
when another Of your sons. Mr.
Fosters law partner. Mr.. J. Y. Sanders,
was elected to the high Office of Speaker
Of the House. St Mary. he got the vote
Of our representative,
when the same gentleman was can
didate for Lieutenant Governor from
your parish, St. Mary, he got our votes
in the primary.
When again that Lieutenant Govern
ors law partner, your son, M. J. Fos
ter, was elected to the United States
Senate, ST Mary, he got the votes of
Dur parish in the primary and that of
both our senator and representative in
he Legislature that elected him.
DO you remember the story of the
little boy who on. visit was asked by
he lady of the house after being helped
)nce to pie: Johnny, does your mother
ct you have two pieces of pie and an
swered promptly; No, ma am, but this
ain't her pie.
Now, St. Mary, your Ma, the State,
1as already given you two pieces of gu
pie, with two big United
States senator pound cakes, State
House Speakership tart and Lieuten
ant Governor custafd thrown in, and
our parish helped TO pass the confec
tionery every time.
The last time the cake was cut Cad
10 got the gubernatorial ring for north |
west Louisiana.
Now, the growing parish of Plaque
mines, increasing in size from river silt
i've square miles year, feels little |
hunger for southeast |
Louisiana The dessert is coming our
way this time. SO be polite and just, and }
lon't snatch.

Laws Made In Future by Electricity

Laws Made In Future by Electricity.
Twentieth century legislation is eX
pected to be done by electricity. says
the Chicago Tribune. The proposed ap-
paratus consists of two or more up
right disks, to be placed in full view
near the speakers chair, connected by
a suitable electric device with the
desk of each member. Without rising
from his seat, without the waste of a
needless minute of time of the house.
each member present could record his
vote by {; mere touch of his finger on
the BUTTON On leaving his seat for
any cause he could lock up the but
ton, so as to be sure that no enthuSias.
tic friend should vote for him in his
absence. as some of them might be
willing to do. The record thus made
would be perfect, permanent and unas
sailable. The rapidly increasing vol
ume of legislative business requires
some practical relief. Here is means
for adding 40 per cent to the working
hours of each session without increas-
ing its numerical length.

DoNot Crowd the Season.


The first warm days of spring bring !
with them desire to get out and
enjoy the exhilirating air and sun
shine. Children that have been housed
up all winter are brought out and you
wonder where they all came from.
The heavy winter clothing is throw
aside and many shed their fannels.
Then cold wave comes and people
say that grip is epidemic. Colds at
this season are even more dangerous
than in mid winter. as there is much
more danger of pneumonia. Take
Chamberlain Cough Remedy, how
ever. and you will have nothing to
fear. 1t always cures. and we have
never known a cold to result in
pneumoia when it was used. 1t is
pleasant and safe to take. Children
