RAISES CHECK TO
FEED GIRL
Young Man Takes Swell
Young Lady to Cafe
Gives Bogus Check.

Last night a swell young couple
took dinner at the Elman hotel cafe.
The young lady is beautiful in fea-
lures and complexion and dresses
with elegance. The young man be-
longs to one of the best families in
this city. After ordering an elabor-
ate meal and receiving the ticket
giving the bill for said viands, the
swell young man walked up to the
cashiers desk and with the eclat of
a millionaire pulled out his check
book and carelessly scrubbed off an
order on the bank to pay the charges.
This morning he was waited upon
by the police and invited to cover
the check with coin Of the realm in
short order or take his proper place
behind the bars. His respected ia
Their was called upon for assistance
and rescued the young man from his
dilema.
This is the second time within a
week that the same trick has been
played by the same party. A few
days ago he took the object of his
affections to the Grill where the best
that the chef could produce was or
dered and settlement made with a
bogus check.
The fellow is known to be a con-
firmed rake and it is mystery how
the young lady who is fine must
i
occupy a place of prominence, will
have anything to do with such an
individual.
Out of respect to the young man 8
parents, his name is withheld at this
time, but on his next offense it will
be likely impossible to hide his iden-
| tity further.

HOUSE MAY NOT
INCREASE
Cannon Fathers Plan by
Which Apportionment is
Greatly Widened.

Washington. Dec. 13.-The Unit
ed States census just announced will
not increase the numbers of the
members of the House of Represen-
tatives, If a plan fathered by Speak
er Cannon and said to have the
backing of a large majority Of the
House, is put through. Instead, some
states will gain congressman while
others will lose them
According to the new plan the ra-
ito of representation will be In
creased. 1t now is 134,1S2 to one
congressman. Cannon has figured
out that 235,223 to each congress
man would give each state its prop
er representation without making
the House any more unwieldly than
1t row is.
II such an aportionment were
made, the following states would gain
two representatives New York
California, Washington and Oklaho-
ma.
The following one would gain one
each: Oregon. Idaho. Utah, Mon
tana, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
Texas
These states would lose one rep
resentative: Illinois, Kansas, Wis
consin, Maine, Maryland, Nebraska
North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee and
Virginia.

APPEAL TO THE AUTHORITIES
TO RUN DOWN A DOG THIEF.

The authorities of the Waterville
country and the policemen and farm
ers everywhere are asked to help me
find my big Russian greyhound of a
very large type. Has few scars on
him and very likely a hunter has
stolen him.
Reward: $500, a violin, man.
dolin, two instruction books, and
two sets of strings.
The man who took my dog called
Tip, and licensed in Wenatchee. is a
thief and I want the authorities in
the hunting districts to stop him. He
has, l believe, one or two hunting
dogs. Notify Louis Michel, Wenat-
chez, and get your reward.
The dog was stolen about two
weeks ago and the unholy thief
chose Sunday as the proper day OF
his stealing. -. s*s
