suited in the finding of Mrs. Annie
Graham dead in a trunk in her home

55. and lived alone, and was last seen

five days Jack persistently con-
tinued his tactics and finally was re-
warded.

agent lifted a boy so he could peer
through the transom. The little lad

SOFT SNAP FOR a TRAMP.
Texas Liquor Men Pay Him 81 a Day
to Go to Jail.

Kansas City, July 29.-''The liquor
interests of Texas are fighting hard
against enforcement of the prohibi-
tory law said Herbert w. Wolcott, a
lawyer, who returned a few days ago
from a trip through Texas and New
Mexico. I'm Denison, Tex, the saloon
keepers wished to test the law, and as
none of them cared to run the risk
of going to Jail themselves, they hired
a tramp to be arrested and face trial
He was to receive two dollars for
every day that he spent In Jail.
''The man was arrested and put in
Jail. The saloon men cheerfully gave
him his two dollars day, and wished
for a speedy trial, which they didn't
get.
when the saloon keepers client
finally was tried he was convicted.
The saloon keepers appealed the case
and in order to avoid paying their
representative two dollars a day while
he was waiting the second trial, they
went to court with a plea that it
wasn't right for their client to lie in
Jail so long. He was released, but the
saloon men had to furnish a large
appeal bond.
'eThen their real trouble began.
Every day thetramp would approach
one Of his hackers, and tell him that
unless several dollars and many
drinks were forthcoming, he would
leave town and forfeit his bond. The
threat always brought forth the

tramp was convicted at the second
trial they allowed the matter to rest.
They now are paying him two dol
lars every day until he serves out his
sentence of one and one half years"

SIGHTED PROSPERITY.

New York, July 29.-Walter Scott,

general merchandise concerns in the

west, through which he makes a year
~ tour of inspection.
Never in my life did T sec such
optimism as now prevails everywhere
among farmers, bankers, railroad men
and all others. The crops are boom
ing corn and wheat notably They
are the staple products of course and
I think both of them will have the
largest crops in history. Greater
than ever is the demand for men to
harvest them. They can't get enough.
All the farmers have money.
But as to prosperity, I can speak
of it beyond the northwest, though
not so personally. I believe there's
an avalanche of it coming, east,

stopped.
