POst.OffiCeS to Aid Unemployed.

Washington, Feb. p. Employ
ment for the unemployed is the sub
ject of bill that was introduced by
Representative Garner Republican, }
of Pennsylvania, who proposes through
the medium of the Post-office Depart
ment to bring the employer and the
employee in touch so that the labor
market may be made normal at all
times.
The idea is to authorize the Post
master General to establish, in the de-
partment and in every post-office in
the United States, an "information
labor officer" whose duty it shall be
to supply daily to employers lists Of
persons wanting work and to the
latter lists of employees wanting labor.
Each county seat is to be distribut-
ing center.

CASE OF ALMA KELLNER
Still a Mystery and Efforts to
Rescue Her Are PraC.
ticalIy Dropped.
The Louisville Times SAYS:

ut l@OuAoN lAit AhAiN' N''s~"
Patrolman T. j. Fitzgibbon, of the
Third police district, the officer work
ing on the mysterious disappearance
of Alma Kellner, who has been miss
ing since December from the home
of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Kellner. 5O7 East Broadway, has been
relieved from further duty on the case
and assigned to patrol beat No. of
the Third district. He will go on the
dog watch tomorrow and watch from
Sixth to Tenth and from Walnut 10
Jefferson streets.
Patrolman Fit2gibbon was assigned
to theKellner case from the outset and
worked industriously, running down
various theories, clews and reports,
which developed from time TO time.
The case is now at a standstill, and
the officers have nothing upon which
to work. Chief of Police Lindsey de-
cided to relieve the officer from fur
ther duty on the case until something
tangible develops. In the event any
thing new arises he will probably be
reassigned to the case, as he is ia
miliar with it's every detail
The mystery involving Alma's dis
appearance grows deeper and deeper
and police, detectives and the rela-
tives of the girl are more at sea than
ever. The parents still hold TO the
kidnapping theory, but cannot account
for the motive,as months have passed
without demand made for ransom.
The anonymous letters which arrived
with every mail for weeks have ceas-
ed. Frank Fehr, cousin of Mr.. and
Mrs. Kellner, who has represented the
family in all transactions in the case,
held a conference with Chief of Po-
lice Lindsey last evening. He said
that he has not the slightest clew of
her whereabouts or fate, and knows
not what steps to take Hope for her
restoration diminishes with time, but
the gTief-stricken parents cling 10
the hope that she is alive and that
she will eventually be returned TO
them.

The Extreme Of Brutality.

Paris, France, Feb. 1.-THE dis-
appearance of the young wife of a
druggist named Parat, whose phar-
macy is near the scene of the Steinheil
murder, was cleared up to-day when
the police broke in and found the
woman heavily chained between the
bed and the wall, horribly Scared.
In addition to the chain, which was
strongly padlocked around her neck,
cruel contrivance resembling coat
Of mail, but strengthened by belt Of
copper rings, enveloped the body.
Both objects could be removed only
by the use of keys.
The woman told a pitiful tale OF
two years imprisonment and mar
tyrdom, Last November while still

Thinks O'Rear Will be Nominee.

Hon. A. T. Siler, chairman Of the
Kentucky state railroad commission,
and one of the leading Republicans
of Eastern Kentucky, is Of the opin-
ion that Judge Edward O'Rear, Of
the appellate court, will be the Re-
publican nominee for Governor a year
hence.
"The duties of my Office make it
necessary for me to travel from one
end of the state to the other" said Mr..
Siler. Everywhere find a strong
sentiment among the Republicans for
Judge O'Rear. l do not think he will
have any trouble in securing the
nomination. / believe he would be
the strongest man the Republicans
could name at this time for the office.
Judge O'Rear's views on certain ques-
tsons are well known in this state
Mr.. Siler declares that he believes
that Theodore Roosevelt will be the
next president of the United States,
He says there is not the slightest
doubt but that Roosevelt would carry
Kentucky overwhelmingly over Taft.

BILLY SUNDAY
Brings $500 Into Fold at YOungs
tCwn-Paid Ten Thousand
Dollars for His Work.

Youngstown, o., Feb. 21.-One Of
the most remarkable religious DEM
onstraions ever witnessed occur
red at the Youngstown tabernacle to-
night when Evangelist BILLY" Sun
day closed his six weeks campaign
in what was conceded to be the most
wicked city in Ohio. The thousands
who heard the evangelist deliver the
most hair-raising addresses that ever
came from his Lips became almost
fanatical. Men and women leaped
into the air, screamed, cried, Rugged
each other and prayed in a mos. be-
seeching manner. The evangelist,
himself, Carried away by the great
demonstration, invoked them to
continue, and at the end of THE sell
vices was accompanied TO his hotel
by thousands of enthusiastic con-
verts, where there was another DEM
onstration.
At the conclusion it was an
nounced that $500 converts is the
total result of the six weeks CAM
paign, during which time Mr.. Sun
day has converted over half of the
city officials, police and fire depart
ments, many of the prominent mer-
chants and a number of liquor deal
-gls and saloon Keepers ''-- -'' ----
One of the greatest coups of the
evangelist was on Saturday night,
when the members of the Mahonfng
county bar attended his Services i'm a
body. When the crowd Of converts
lined up it was seen that among the
number were w. S. Anderson, a not
ed criminal lawyer; NJ. C. McNabb,
a corporation lawyer of considerable
City Solicitor David e.
Jenkins and his assistant, Clyde
Osborne.
More than $4,000 was raised to-
day for Mr.. Sunday, the only collec-
ton taken during the revival for his
personal use. He leaves for Dan

The methods of the various trusts
which control food supplies are COM
ing to light as a result of investiga-
tons into the increased cost of liv-
ing. In New York last week it was
found that one packing company had
food products on hand which it had
kept in cold storage as long as seven
years. These packing companies sim
ply corner the market on vegetables,
meat, fish, poultry, eggs. butter, fruit,
&C., and being enabled TO preserve
these supplies intact, make prices to
suit themselves. 1t is a woeful state
of affairs that such conditions should
be allowed to exist.

The desperate aspect of the situa-
ton brought about by the high cost
of living is revealed in the daily press
which contains a series of accounts
of men committing suicide because
they were out of work and could nos
procure the necessaries of life for
their families. 1t is indeed Sc
rious condition of affairs when men
prefer to die rather than face the
hopeless task of providing for their
families under present business con-
ditions.
