Or at Least Few Persons Are Punish
ed Now for Speaking III Of Kaiser.
The offence of lese majesty bids
fair to disappear from the criminal
records of modern Germany. Until
three years ago the newspapers pub
lished almost daily reports Of persons
who were fined or sent to prison for
having allowed hasty expressions to
escape about the Kaiser's most ex-
cellent majesty.
The severity of the law was relaxed
three years ago, and the police in
structed not to be too eager in bring
ing forward prosecutions for MA
testatsbeleidigung," and the result
has been that in 1907 the number OF
convictions fell from an annual aver
age of 600 to 120 and in 1908 the num-
ber fell still further to thirty-nine In
the first six months of 1909 the num-
Der was only ten.

Little Lawrence's grandfather was
very i'll, and a trained nurse had been
employed to care for him. When he
became convalescent young woman
who had studied in a hospital for a
short time was secured in her place.
A sympathetic neighbor meeting Law
renee, the following conversation took
place:
How is your dear grandpa this
morning, LawrenceP'
HE Is better
Have you the trained nurse still?'
"No; the trained nurse has gone
away, and the one we have now is

The shakespeare-Bacon Controversy.

The Shakespeare-Bacon Controversy.
The Shakespeare-Bacon controver-
sy is still on the carpet. No, it has
by no means been settled that Bacon
wrote the Shakespearean plays. 1t
cannot even be said that a strong
presumption of the Baconian author
ship has been established. The writ
ings of Donnelly and others on that
side show a great deal of ingenuity,
and prove that they have given to the
subject a vast amount Of patient re-
search; but apart from that their
work counts for nothing. 1t has not
been proven that Shakespeare did not
write the plays bearing his name, and
until that is done the Bard of Avon"
remains in possession of the honor Of
their authorship.

not be run on the p mill tax that
had been assessed by the council.
The law as enacted by the legisla
ture by bill introduced and passed
by Senator Henderson clearly and
specifically designates that an item,
lied statement shall be kept and
that not one cent of this levy shall
be spent in any other way except on
the roads and streets in Pocahontas.
The motion passed and the resolu-
tion was adopted.
This being the annual meeting
new officers were elected. Owing
to the fact that Mr.. Miller contem-
plates leaving town in a few days
for Leslie, Ark, j. S. Anderson
was elected to fill the Office of the
president. E. Dalton was elected
vice president and Joe H. DeClerk
was re elected secretary.
In closing the meeting Mr. Mil
Ter bade the League fond farewell
in short speech. He has been an
earnest worker for the uplifting
and up-building of Pocahontas and
has spared no time or money in as
sisting to make this an ideal town.
He said during the course of his
talk that Notwithstanding the fact
that he would be a resident of
another town and county in a few
days, there would always be warm
spot in his heart for old Randolph
county and the citizens of Pocahon-
tas in general. He urged every
member to keep fighting for the
cause of temperance and continue
to assist in keeping the saloons out
of Pocahontas.
The meeting was very interest
ing one and there should have been
larger attendance.
The ticket nominated Friday
night is a good one and will beyond
a doubt meet with the hearty appro-
val of all our citizens 1t is com.
posed of men who have an interest
in the town and will offer every en-
couragement possible to capitalists
to locate here and at the same time
make as many improvements as
as their means will allow.

 the Enterprise.

Deputies Adams and Olea devoted another day yesterday to Investigating the thievery of Torres, Rodriguez, Ro- nero & Co, the company" being the wife of Torres who professes no knowledge on the part of herself and husband of the crimes Of Romero and Rodriguez
 The officers took Rodriguez across the river where he shed a great deal of light on the operations of the gang. He pointed out various houses. where the party. including Mrs. Torres. had sold goods among the poorer classes, these goods having been stolen from the stores of Phoenix. The officers last night brought back as silk waist. pair of silk stockings and several bolts of silk which had been sold to the Yaquis regardless of cost" Rod riguez took the officers over the entire course which led almost to Tempe The pedler thieves had canYassed all most every house.
 They also brought back tent which had been stolen at the instance of Torres. This led to an Illustration by Rodriguez of the strict business meth ods of Torres, the senior member of the firm.
 Rodriguez said that after the theft of the tent which Torres had ordered. it was set up on TOrris' property and Romero and Rodriguez lived in it. They were to pay $2 a month for the privilege. T am not charging you" said Torres, flor living in the tent for it is as much yours as mine; we all stole it together. But I am charging you for tramping around over the ground under the tent"
 But the most important development of the day was the discovery of a half dozen window blinds which had been stclen from the residence of Aaron Cummings on the other side of the river. Rodriguez said that they had to commit burglary to get the blinds This is the first evidence of a felony that the officers have been able to se- cure.
