ST. JoSEPH'S PREDICAMENT.
The Political Plum Proves to Be a
Pickle.

The unseemly squabble in the mu-
nicipal electric plant of st. Joseph.
Mo-, illustrates the menace of politics
In such plants. Some months ago City
Electrician Stewart, who has charge
Of the plant, was indicted by the grand
jury. A thorough Investigation by ex-
pert accountants resulted in quashing
these indictments, as there was no
evidence that he had been guilty Of
anything worse than the ''loose book
keeping" which is so essential in mu-
nlcipal plants if they are to make a
good showing.
In spite Of his vindication Stewart
was removed by the mayor, who APP
parently thought it good chance to
put a friend of his in the position.
Stewart refused to surrender the plant
on the ground that the mayor had no
power to remove him except for cause.
For some weeks both men have been
at the plant, neither drawing any sal
airy, and the case is before the courts.
Meantime a flank attack has been
made by the mayors party by intro
ducing an ordinance to abolish the Of
fee of city electrician and create that
Of superintendent of the electric light
plant, thus getting rid of Stewart and
enabling the mayor to appoint his own
man.
The st. Joseph Press protests against
such tactics In an editorial headed.
"Save the Electric Light Plant From
Politics. Such protests are futile so
long as practical politicians" are in
charge Of city Affairs. for to them mu-
nicipal plants are the plums which
make ONCE worth striving for

FINE FAIR WEATHER
 GENERAL IN THE SOUTH

Fair weather with almost summer like temperature greeted Montgomsr- fans yesterday morning. Nor was this summer weather confined to the inn- mediate district of Montgomery, the reports showing that 1t was very gem eral throughout the South.
 The prediction for today Is increas- ing cloudiness due to the movement of a low barometer area eastward, with a probability of slight showers.
 An extensive area of low barometer which is moving slowly eastward had yesterday moved it's centre from Wy oming to Kansas and was causing in all of the northern and all of the cen- tral districts rain or snow. high barometer area of some length is. how ever, moving in its wake and was yes terday giving colder weather in the northwest. The reports shows the tenn perature in Montgomery was 70 de- grees.
 As the area of low barometer drifts eastward it will cause increasing cloud mess in this section today, with but little if any rain, although rain Is quite probable for the northern DOT tions of the State. By Friday it Is expected that there will be a tendency in this section towards cooler weathe than that experienced for the past sev- eral days.

ARE AFTER NEGROES
REWARDS or $50 EACH FOR THREE
 HIGHwAYMEN.
The Governor Makes Omer to Catch Those Who Held Up White Man Recently At
 Tharnn.

Rewards of $50 each for the capture or the three negroes who held up and robbed Joe Robinson, a white mer. chant at Tharin. this county, on the night of March 3. were offered yes- terday by Governor Conner. As in all offers for rewards. the terns require that the negroes shall be captured and conv&ted and the money is to be paid over after conviction.
 The names of the masked negroes who were parties to this hold up are William alias Harry Billiard, Big Boy alias Rodell Robinson and Jeems alias Jessie Powell. The charge against them Is highway robbery. which in Alabama is capital offense.
 The offer of rewards was made by the Governor upon recommendation of Solicitor Hugh Dent, ,Jr., and Sheriff Horace Hood. of Montgomery county. The citizens Of the community of Tharin are making an appeal to the executive authorities to afford them protection as the settlement is sparse- ly populated by whites.
 It will be recalled that three mask ed negroes about ' o'clock on the night of March 3, suddenly appeared in the store of Mir Robinson at Tharin as he was preparing to close after the days business. At the points of revolvers. they forced the proprietor of the store to hand over to them all the cash he had on hand, amounting to about SIS.
 In a short time after the hold up the sheriff's once in Montgomery was notified and deputies. with a pack of bloedhounds were despafehed to the scene. A furious chase ensued which followed a trail for about i've miles the dogs reached the railroad tracks the scent had been destroyed by the passage of trains a few minutes be- fore.
