Dufy's Pure Malt Whiskey is an
absolutely pure distillation of matted
grain; great care being used to have
every kernel thoroughly matted, thus
destroying the germ and producing a
predigested liquid food in the form
of malt essence, which is the most
effective tonic stimulant and invigor-
ator known to science; softened by
warmth and moisture its palatability
and freedom from injurious substances

Sheriff Van Pelt Finds Booty
Recently Stolen From
r. F. Mitchell.

Sheriff Van Pelt yesterday AFTER
noon located and recovered the large
amount of silverware stolen recently
from the home of R. F. Mitchell, ana
which was valued at about l,ooo-
The property, which was round In d
house in the northwestern section OF
the city, was returned to Mr.. Mltcneil.
BY its recovery a nest OF thieves
was unearthed, who were not only
operating in Pensacola, but other
points IN this section OF the state,
and who evidently used the mouse as
their headquarters. The police be-
gan working on the case last night
and made on or two arrests of par
ties suspected of being connected
with the thieves, and have obtained
the names of the men who, if they
are captured, will be charged with
having stolen the goods.
Yesterday afternoon Sheriff Van
Pelt, accompanied by Sheriff Camp
bell of Walton county, was In the
northwestern section of the city look
ing for some men wanted by the Wal
ton county sheriff. They located the
house in which the men resided, but
found it locked. A key was procured,
but the men were not at home. A
search by Sheriff Van Felt brought &c
light several fine lace curtains, which
he Immediately suspected as those
stolen from r. F. Mitchell Having
this clue and believing that the sill
verware was in the house a search
was made, but it was unsuccessful
huntil the sheriff ripped open the mat
tress on a bed. There, concealed in
the cotton of the mattress, and SO
placed that it could not be detected
was all of the silVerware stolen from
Mr.. Mitchell, and also a great guam
tity which had evidently been stolen
from other homes, but which has not
yet been identified. New shoes and
clothing were also found in the house
1t is believed that the thieves are
the same ones who recently robbed
several stores at Crestview and other
points, getting away with a qauntity
of goods

For Pupils to Witness
Mardi Gras.

Following the custom in vogue for
the past few years the city schools
will have a holiday on March and
3 on account of the Mardi Gras festiv-
tiles, and also all country schools
where they are near enough to allow
the pupils and teachers to come to
the city on this occasion. Where
neither the teachers nor pupils in

continue as usual, as the day Is not
a legal holiday

clared, but for only those schools

WAS ETRUR|A
|. D|SCOURTEOUS?
Norwegian Vessels Resent
No Reply to Salutation.
The Explanation.
Special to The journal.

Mobile, Feb. 11.-There is much
comment in shipping circles over the
alleged laek of the ordinary courtesy
Of the international code regarding
vessels of different nationalities when
passing, it being claimed that the
Italian battleship Etruria now here is
guilty of this discourtssy.
1t appears that since the presence
of the representative of the Italian
navy in port, masters of passing
Norwegian vessels have lowered their
flags in courteous recognition of the
vessel. Not once has this courtesy
been exchanged by the officers of the
Italian war vessel, according to re-
ports made to-day by well known Nor
wegian shippers and others.
To say that the Norwegians feel
keenly the seeming discourtesy is ex-
pressing the real situation mildly. The
subject was one of live discussion
among the Norwegian colony to-day.

Explanation.

1.-THE most probable explanation of
the apparent discourtesy on the part
Of the Etruria," said a local Pensa-
cOlian who is familiar with marine
rules, "is that the King of Italy who is
a cousin Of the late King OF Portugal,
whose tragic death occurred several
days ago, and out of respect to the
dead king, 1T IL more than likely that
all vessels of the Italian navy were
ordered to carry their flags at half
