IN HONOR OF TAFT
Principal Buildings in Cincin-

For the Occasion Of the Notifi.

Cincinnati, July 25.-When William
H. Taft returns to his old home this
afternoon he will find nearly all the
details, for the notification day cele-
bration completed. Down town build
ings have put on much of their decor
ations in his honor.
Major General Fred d. Grant has ac-
cepted an invitation to be present.
The Hamilton and Taft clubs of Chi

Taft Slept Late
Cleveland, o., July z5.-Candidate
Taft passed through this city this
morning on his way to Cincinnati. He
retired early last night, being some-
what fatigued after his strenuous day
in New York and he slept rather late
this morning, not having appeared
from his drawing room when Cleveland
was reached.

awakening sound as the train pulled
into Erie, Pa, early this morning. But
the little crowd of trainmen and 9TH

day from a weeks tour of the Third
congressional district with Cyrus Le-

'T was surprised at the almost
unanimous sentiment for Mr.. Leland

MIR. Leland had fine meetings at all
the towns visited and scores of farm
ers and old soldiers came from a dis
tance to meet him and assure him of
their support The Third district will

he was met by committees of old SOL

Big Reward offered.
There is a $4,000 reward offered for
the arrest of the man who stole the
mail pouch and it is thought that this
will be given to the aged colored wo-
man who informed on Saavge. When
arrested Savage denied that ne was

on him, though the officers believe
that he has buried his Ill gotten gains

One of the strong points upon which
the Kansas City officers rely for con-
viction Is the fact that the description
which was furnished the Kansas City
police shortly after the robbery by
Philip Czarlinsky, corresponds exactly
with that of the man under arrest.
Czarlinsky was on the train which was
boarded by the negro with the mail
sack and as soon as he read or the
account of the robbery ne notified the
Kansas City officers giving a descrtp-
ton which corresponds with that OF
the man under arrest.
After the mail pouch was rified 1t
was thrown from an Ell Paso train by
the thief who alighted when the train
stopped at a crossing a few miles
west Of Kansas City. 1t was found
along side of the right OF way a few
days later and contained between fifty
and sixty thousand do1fars in valuables

like $4,000.

Safe Blowers Make Haul.

At least $50 in currency was secured. The safe and surrounding stock and fixtures were damaged to the extent Of probably $500 more. There is no positive clue to the perpetrators, but party of six or seven well-dressed strangers, evidently not of the common tramp variety, were noticed cooking their dinner out in the woods only a short distance from the town. There is some reason for suspecting that this was the party of crooks that did the work.
