GREAT POSTAL ROBBERY
Mails Sacks Containing About
S25O,00O Disappear.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 21.-Three mail
sacks said to contain about $780,
900 disappeared from Burlington
train Sunday night between Denver
and Oxford, Neb. The postofice Of
fcials have just made the theft public.
The train left Denver with seven sacks
and but four remained when it reached
Oxford. Detectives and postofhce Of
fcials are at work on the case.
Superintendent j. NJ Butler of the
Sixth division of railway mail clerks
believes the robbery took place just
west of the Nebraska line. Both mail
clerks were asleep while the train was
passing a long stretch of track with
few stations. Butler believes some
one slipped into the mail car and
threw the sacks out of the window.
He has ascertained that the valuables
were all in two of the sacks, one be-
ing empty.
Seven sacks of registered mail were
placed on the Kansas City train leav-
ing Denver over the Burlington Sun
day night. These sacks were destined
for Chicago and were supposed to be
placed on the Chicago train at Ok
ford, Neb. Three of the registered
sacks were missing when Oxford was
REACHED.
Postofice officials have all been
warned to be cautious about giving
out information on the robbery.

BETTER TONE PREVAILS.
3ome Improvement Shown on the
Stock Exchange.


New York, Aug. "a The most Sc
fious conditions of the previous week
In the stock market have given way
to better tone and marked diminu
aion of operations. Sentiment appears
to have been favorably affected by the
absence of further liquidation, but the
public utterances of President Roose-
welt and Secretary Taft were at first
somewhat disturbing. From outward
appearances, however, the market is
gradually drifting away from consid-
erations of a political character. More
attention is being given to monetary
conditions. There is a threatened
stringency, not only at home, but in
most of the worlds money markets.
The tightness of money precipitated
another comm ercial failure during the
week and more are predicted for the
same reason. Time loans are being
made on bases well in excess Of nor
NAL rates, and the banks are safe
guarding their reserves in anticipation
of crop demands.

MILLIONS IN A RAZOR.
Possession of Ancient Implement May
Mean Right to Rich Estate.

Possession of Ancient Implement May
Mean Right to Rich Estate.
W. J. Anderson, who arrived at New,
York recently from Colon, Panama,
and Kingston, Jamaica, told story of
an estate worth several millions which,
he may inherit through the possession
of a razor, says the New York Herald
Mr.. Anderson comes from Columbus.
O., and is of Scottish descent. The
story of mysterious estate in Ireland.
has been handed down in the family
for several generations, but trace of it
was lost years ago. With the story has,
been identified the razor, which has
been handed down in the Anderson
family from father to son for about
200 years. The final purpose, accord
ing to the tradition, is to have the
razor identify its owner as the heir to.
the estate.
Several months ago Mr. Anderson
saw an advertisement in a New York
newspaper for heirs to an Anderson
estate that is On the records of the
English chancery court. He believes
he is the sole heir to this property.
Mr.. Anderson said he had been at:
work on the Panama canal construc-
ton as an engineer since March and
had returned to take up the quest of
the estate.

Louisville, KY, Aug. 21.-Paul G.
Barth, for a year and a half mayor
of Louisville and ousted recently by
a decision of the court of appeals,
shot and killed himself in his private
Office at the headquarters of the Utica
Lime company, of which he was gen
eral manager. The cause of suicide
8 is unknown
Since the ousting of Mr.. Barth's adj
ministration by mandate of the court
of appeals two months ago the acts
of the officials during his term have
been subjected to severe scrutiny by
the officials who came in with Mayor
Bingham, appointed by Governor
Beckham. Nothing was found that
reflected any discredit on Mr.. Barth
personally, but the method of conduct
ing some of the city institutions had
been criticised both in official reports
and in the press. Mr.. Barth was SEN
sitive to criticism and his friends at
times remarked that tho condition of
affairs seemed to worry him.

WORTH ALL OF MISSOURI
Six Miles of Manhattan Assessed for
Immense Sum.


New York, Aug. 24.-In his report
to the mayor the president of the tax
board, Lawson Purdy, makes this in
teresting comment on the land values
of the city:
''The value of land today in New
York city is SO enormous that it is
hard to realize it's amount without
some comparisons. The assessed value
of land alone, exclusive of improve
ments, in the city of New York is
greater than the assessed value of all
the real estate, improvements includ-
ed, in the state of Pennsylvania and
nearly twice as great as the value Of
all the real estate, improvements in
Guided, in the state Of New York out
side the city. The assessed value Of
the land for six square miles of Man
haitian in the neighborhood Of Central
Park, is greater than the assessed
value of all the real estate in the state
of Missouri

RAISES INTEREST ON BONDS
New York Agrees to Pay, Four and a
Half Per Cent

New York, Aug. 22.-Owing to the
present stringency in the money mar
ket the city of New York has been
obliged to raise the rate Of interest
on bonds it now has for sale from 4
to AZ per cent. In addition the mayor
issued an order to the heads of all
city departments requesting them to
limit the expenditures of their respec-
tive departments to the lowest posi-
BILE point consistent with efficient adj
ministration. The action increasing
the rate of interest was taken at a
meeting of the sinking fund commits
sion. The bonds affected are those
known as corporate stock of the city
Of New York and the assessment
bonds.
This is the first time in twenty
years that the city has been compelled
to pay more than 4 per cent

st. Augustine, Fla, the oldest city
in the United States, is to hold her
first county fair in November. An ex-
cellent committee is in direct charge
and is devoting much time to the work.
The people generally are taking an
intense interest in the approaching
fair, and a splendid exhibition OF St
Johns county products will be dis
played. Hastings, with its diversified
farming, will alone make an exhibit
that Will be revelation to every one.
Blooded stock is raised in various
parts OF the county, and the owners
are already grooming them for the dis
play The north end of the county will
send sheep, the middle section cattle
and all sections poultry and thorough
bred hogs. Vegetables and grain of al
most every variety will form an inter
esting feature of the exhibits, says the
Florida East Coast Homeseeker. Or
anges, peaches. figs. grape fruit, pears,
guavas, plums, persimmons and doz-
ems of other varieties Of fruits will
swell the array of exhibits. It is i'm
possible to enumerate the various.
fruits and vegetables that flourish on
the farms OF this fertile county, and it
is safe to predict that the display will
surprise even those familiar with the
resources of the county.
Cigars manufactured in st. Angus

dustrial exhibit. While the ancient city
is not widely known as a cigar center,
it has number Of factories whose,
products are not excelled by the choic-
est imported goods.

show the wealth that abounds in the

Prizes will be awarded. as is custom
airy in other places on like occasions,
and there will be a keen rivalry for
the same at this first county fair ever
attempted in ST. Johns county, and
it will undoubtedly be rich in results,
