The TRAMP PROBLEM.

Il flames Forbes, secretary and direct
II Of the National association for the
sssPrevention of Vagrancy, in an inter-
view In the New York Telegraph,
gives some interesting figures re!at'
ing to the tramp problem. Mr.. Forbes
declares that the tramp population
now numbers 100000. The tramrs cost
the United States $100,000,000 annu-
Il ally. he says, or, putting it another
way. one dollar and eighty cents "a

Eand child in the country to maintain

Mr.. Forbes adds:

HUSBAND KILLING.

Husband killing gives promise TO be-

wait the verdict with confidence. Mrs.
Rush leaves her husband dead on the
floor of the depot where he earned

shows out all right, but the value OF

invoices can be purchased for $500 or
less in real money. The man who In
tends to engage in this kind Of bust

is negotiated. The owner OF the In

fellow with the equity to pay him $500

less, but sticks for this proposition as

Looker-On In Iona

Jefferson, Dec. There is som ethins
radically wrong with our pharmacy
law or with the customs OF the people,
when We hear of SO many druggists
voluntarily giving up their permits
TO all Intoxicating liquors. Unquestion-
ably many legal actions are com
menced in our courts that come under
the head of persecution rather than
prosecution. II is true, too, that many
extremists seem to forget in their zeal
for the Temperance cause, that a per-
init to sell intoxicating liquor gives
right to keep it in stock and sell It.
But if 1t is true that our druggists
stand less chance Of trouble. which OF
course means lawsuits by selling with
out permit than with one, then some
thing is wrong somewhere. A druggist
that has given up his permit was the
authority for such a statement.

pertinent of building fats 10 rent for
$40 to $22 a month was tried. recogniz-

style Of homes, as from the beginning
these fats have been in dem and and
constantly occupied. They are built
Of brick, two stories high. with base
ment high enough to be we'll lighted,
and used for everything but eating and
Sleeping purposes. They are close 20
the street in front and have therefore
considerable of a back yard. Real es-
tate men claim this style OF building,
gives a larger return on the invest
ment than detached buildings and their
demand proves their popularity with
the renting public. This referred to
company is also going to build houses
