Jack Thomas, who had been So
Letting orders to enlarge pictures,
was arraigned in Justice B. F. Jeter's
court on Thursday, on information
from Decatur Smith, that he had col
lected his money in advance and had
not delivered the goods. Sheriff Bull
lock arrested Thomas at the depot
Wednesday evening as he was pre-
pairing to leave town. The Justice
fined him a dollar and trimmings,
which he liquidated and then left
town.
While Mrs. Wilcox, living on North
Water street, was at church Sunday
evening, between 8 and 9 o'clock,
some one entered her residence
through a window A trunk was
thrown out into the alley, broken
open with an ak and the contents
rifled. Several dollars in cash were
taken. The wearing apparel and brio
a brack which was in the trunk was
scattered about. Sheriff Bullock
found distinct track near the open
window, evidently that of the culprit
and from its size indicated a boy or
very small man. Up to the time of
going to press no arrests had been
made. The work was evidently that
of a novice in the burglary line.
Speaking of the custom of tributes
in congress to members who have
passed away, Senator Deliver, of
Iowa, told the Washington CORES

nal this story: 81 recollect the most
remarkable experience | ever had
making speech. A statue was to be
dedicated to the first president of the
United States. Know his name? No,
not George Washington. He wasn't
the first president of the United
States. The first man who ever held
the title was named Hanson; first
president of the first congress of the
confederation. His title was presi-
dent of the United States. | delved
around in the books and worked up
some of what thought were mighty
interesting historical data. On the
appointed day | marched into the
senate chamber, and there were
eleven pagesand three senators there.
Two Of the senators, like myself,
were to make speeches. The other
was Senator Hoar. The two other
senators made their speeches. Being
seniors, they came ahead of me.
Each, when he was finished, prompt
ly walked out. When came on my
audience consisted Of Senator Hoar,

a fair gallery. l got up and started
in very much discouraged. Senator
Hoar was deeply interested. He fol-
lowed me closely. Presently he
moved up closer to me. Then he got
paper and pencil and began taking
notes. He proved as. good an audi
ence as a full senate, and | turned
myself loose to entertain him. He
became SO interested that he would
occasionally drop remarks such as
remarkable; where did you get that

a great hit with the veteran, and was
immensely pleased. WhenIg got done
| thanked him for his attention and
interest, and he replied: Not at all,

"Hundreds Of thousands Of govern

j. Fl. Taylor, of Seattle. secretary
of the Aati Saloon League. was in
town yesterday to ascertain, SO far as
he could from interviews with citi-
zens, the relative strength OF the
"wet" and "dry" forces in the pend
ing election under the local option
law. He Gays that in nearly every
place in the state in which elections
have been held under this law. the
question of the effect upon business
of the abolition of saloons has been q
very important factor and that it is
a very significant fact that there has
been such marked improvement in
business conditions In towns that
have voted dry that in not one OF
them, so far as he knows. is there the
least likelihood of return OF the old
conditions. Hundreds OF business
men throughout the state who seemed
to consider the question OF business
expediency paramount to the moral
questions involved are now firmly
convinced Of the wisdom Of the dry
policy.
