POLICE HEADQUARTERS

There Is any quantity of things In the way of toys ornaments. lamps. and dishes in the receiving room of the city police station. In fact. 1t looks as though Kris Kringle had made 1t his Headquarters for a while. pending bis annual distribution of Christmas presents.
 The articles. however, are not pres ents. but stand as mute evidences of the guilt of someone who may not spend a happy holiday season.
 A few days ago 1t was discovered that the Davis Bazaar was being systemati- caily robbed of small articles that could be easily carried away few at time. Close watch was kept for the thief and yet the goods continued to disappear. until the aggregate value of the articles removed represented a large sum.
 Friday afternoon the police arrested Dan Wesley, a negro, who was in the employ of the firm from whom the goods were stolen. and locked him up in the city bastiie on suspicion. It was this arrest that lead to the re- covery of the goods.

ALARM AT DROUGHT.
Lack of Water Affeeta Wheat Crop
 Power Handicabped.

Winchester. Va, Dec. 1o.-The drought which prevails in Northern Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland has become so serious as to occasion alarm. No rain of any consequence has fallen for six months.

 Wheat is making but little growth owing to the entire lack of moisture in the soil.
 The power houses along the river courses are seriously handicapped. They are unable to furnish the motive power demanded and are compelled to shut down a part of each day to accu- mulate a sufficient head of water to drive the turbines
