ALEXANDRIA, Va,
September 16 1911.
The police today have on their hands
peculiar triangular robbery which &C.
CURED some time last night or early this
morning at the shoemaker shop conduct
ed by Stephen Timney. 100 South Fair
fax street. which up to the present Is
far from being solved.
The parties who are victims of the rob-
berry and the amounts taken follow:
Stephen Timney, shoemaker. 50: Patrick
Buckley. city guide. $s.65, and Davis
Wood, shoemaker, cents.
All occupied rooms over the shop Of
Timney, and when they retired last night
the money was in their pockets, and
when they woke up this morning it was
gone.
An examination of the premises was
made and it was ascertained that none
Of the doors or windows was open or
apparently had been opened, and the
police are baffied. The case looks as ii
it will require a Sherlock Holmes to un-
ravel
1t is possible that the thief secreted
himself in the shop before Timney closed
his place, and awaited until all had
gone to sleep before he started on his
work. This seems to be the only plausible
theory advanced thus far in connection
with the case.

The legislature made provision,

county in South Dakota Of the new
alfalfas which / brought over from
Russia and Siberia as A gricnltr.s.!
Explorer for the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture in my last
two trips to Siberia in 1906 and
1908. This seed was widely scat
tered in small lots in many states.
Some of the best of these new alfal-
fas have been started from a spoon
full Of seed, 80 progress has been
slow. We have no seed to spare
this year. A few thousand one
year old plants can be spared this
Spring. A few plants were sent
out last spring and some farmers
averaged one half ounce of seed to
the plant from plants set in good
garden soil far enough apart to
permit of good cultivation.
Ny present belief is: (1) That
we can make a success of alfalfa
culture in every part of the state !;
~ That these new varieties will
be proof against winter-killing; (3)
That some of these alfalfas can be
introduced as wild plants on stony
rolling lands too rough for culti-
vation.
Please remember: Land that
can raise good alfalfa is worth One
Hundred Dollars, and more, per
acre.
In recent article in the Sioux
Fails Press / offered to send ten
plants free to the first ten appli-
cants in each county. Applicants
should describe the character of
the soil and state whether they
wish the plants for hay or pasture.
Many applications have already
been received. Applications re-
ceived too late will be placed on the
waiting list for next year.

The bank guaranty law of Okla

The bank guaranty law of Okla
homa is not proving very sstisfac-
tory to the bankers of that state,
and it is said that 100 state banks
have surrendered their charters
and applied tor national bank
charters. The actual conditions
are not made public, but it is stat
ed unoficially that during the
three years the system has cost
the state bankers $1,5OO,0OO, and
that the guarantee fund is now
practically exhausted requiring ad-
ditional assessments in the near
future to provide for possible bank
failures. From the bankers stand
point this is not very successful,
but on the other hand if the bank
ers have lost this enormous amount
by bank failures would not the

The two-cent passenger rate law
in Minnesota has been knocked out
by the United States circuit court
of that state. The railroad COM
panies put the law into force, and
also established the freight rates
demanded by the railroad and
warehouse mission and after
giving them a test brought action
to have them set aside on the
grounds that they are confscatory.
The court has sustained their claim
and ordered the rates discontinued
after June LIST. There seem to be
two important points in the ruling
of the court. One is that rail-
road company is entitled to a net
income of at least 79o on its invest
ment, which is all right provided
Il the court knows exactly what the
company has invested and is not
basing his calculations on watered
stock. The other is that a state
law can not enforce rates that con-
fict in any way with interstate
rates, and the court seems to infer
that in the Minnesota case this is
true.

DR.. Oregon Richmond, one of
the pioneers of Bon Homme county
but who for fifteen years has been
living at Benton Harbor, Mich,
died at that place last week. Mr..
Richmond located near the old
town of Bon Homme about thirty
seven years ago, where he practiced
medicine for some years. Later
he studied law and was admitted
to the bar. he moved to Tyndall
and served as county judge of this
county for four years. In 1894
he purchased the Scotland Citizen
and the Republican and consolid-
ated them, forming the Citizen
Republican which he published
about six months when he sold it
to the present owner. The Tyndall
Tribune says of him:
The deceased was the son of one
of the first missionaries on the
Pacific coast, the territory then be-
ing known as Oregon, he being
born on board a battleship while
his parents were enroute for that
country. When the civil war broke
out he enlisted as a private, with
the volunteers of the state Of Him
ois, but before the war closed he
had attained the rank of Lieuten-
ant Colonel as a reward for bravery.

Sacrificing Health for wealth.

From reliable authority comes
the statement that a majority of
the population of the twentieth CEN
tury are sacrificing their health
and happiness in order that they
may attain wealth. What are the
results of this over taxing of our
nervous system? The digestive
organs are the first to be seriously
effected by any strain on the ner-
vous system. The whole body be-
comes effected from lack of proper
nourishment as the organs of the
body are unable to properly digest
the food and furnish the blood
with the normal food for the nerve
cells and other tissues of the body.
Do you feel tired, languid, blue,
pessimistic and a lack of ambition
for your work; You need a good
reliable tonic to aid nature to re-
store the organs Of your body to
their natural condition, for, in
their weakened condition, they are
unable to perform their work, and
the blood is SO impoverished that
it cannot build them up to normal
without this help of a reliable
tonic.
We certainly advise you to use

VISITED CARNEY MINE.

John H Stonehouse and NIT. DaNls recently visited the Carney mines east of town, and gave the property d thorough examination. Mir. Stone house is an old time mining man, who has had d varied experience. He spent years at Nome. Alaska, and in other mining sections He is em- phatic in stating that in his judg- ment the Carney properties are bound to become a big paying propo- sition In his opinion, it does not re- quire an expert to arrive at this con clusion. after an examination of the big lead on the Carney property, the general formation and the visible in dications of ore. The crosscut tunnel now being droven to cut the main vein at a depth of 1900 feet from the apex. he thinks the only sensible way of quickly determining the value of the property He found the water teaching through the lime at the head of the tunnel to be strongly inn pregnated with copper. This is an indication which he says can be relied upon that the ore vein not only eX- tends to the level of the tunnel, but that there must be vast body of ore at that depth. It was estimated that the vein would be struck at something over 400 feet, but Mr. Stonehouse says that he is absolutely certain that from 200 to 250 feet will tan the ore. He does not believe that the mineralized water would perculate through the formation in which the tunnel is being driven for distance of 400 or 800 feet. especially in such quantities. Hence. he looks to see the men break into ore within another hundred feet of work.
 MT Davis. one of the under ground for.men of the Ray consolidated, wno nas Icen with the big paying com- ra nies for years. agrees with MT Stonehouse on all matters regarding the property. He claims that there is no possibility of making mistake as to the existence of vast body of ore at the point the tunnel will cut the vein. and that as a mining investment the Carney will be one of the really big mines of the state As the Carney properties are held by Mesa people. everyone here is in t,.rested in its success.

MESA
DYNAMITE WAS USED
 IN A BURGLARY JOB
Safe m Mesa Office Was Blown Open And Small Amount of
 Money Taken.

About half past one or two o'clock yesterday morning the safe in the plant of the Mesa Dairy and Ice Co. was blown open by dynamite and the money left in the cash drawer taken. The company says that only about twenty-five dollars were taken. Manager Weekes having removed everything but the loose change be- fore closing up for the night Parties living near the creamery heard the reports of the explosion, supposed that it was simply a part of the cannonadng due to the political rally in. town Hence the robbery was not discovered until yesterday morning. Of late there has been no night work and hence no night watchman is kept at the plant
 Evidently the robber was an amateur. for according to those liv- ing near, there were two distinct reports about twenty minutes apart. Presumably the first charge did not do the work properly An expert would have not taken such chances. and again would not have used so heavy a charge The door of the safe was blown from it's hinges and even part of the roof of the office building in which the safe was Kept. was blown off Some of the shingles were scat tered for nearly hundred rods around.
 Officers Peterson and Burton took up the investigation as soon as the burglary was reported. and found what they believed to be q clue as to the perpetrator. It is believed that only one man was implicated. One track was found and followed from the creamery until lost some distance away.
 The sheriff'S office and officers at other points were notified to be on the look out for suspicious characters, and at this hour it is believed that the robber will be soon captured.
 No more favorable time for a burglary could possibly have been chosen. shooting had been going on at intervals all evening. announcing the rally. and there had been sev- eraI pistol shots in the suburbs. so that people were accustomed to the unusual sounds and gave the robber a chance to get good start before the robbery was discovered.

 Dear Sir: Your consideration of me. a private citizen. on Saturday evening last was most entertaining to my friends and neighbors. It was in- deed amusing-even comical-not be- cause of what you said but because you are yourself comedy
 But. frankly MT. Ashurst. why did you not explain some of the facts which l have so often used against you?
 Why-your vote in your home town of Williams was only 20 out of to- tai of 147.
 Why-you have quit peddling your stories about Ralph Cameron.
 Why-you no longer eulogize the McNamaras as innocent men. perse- cuted by republican officeholders.
 It occurs to me MT. Ashurst that I as an issue am what you. a lawyer, would call immaterial If you have nothing more relevant to present in these most important hours of the campaign.-what is to become of the property and people of Arizona if you are elected to the senate?
 The denunciation of Cameron by O'NeiH. at your request. brands you both as unworthy of the manhood of Arizona.
 l should like to reward you for the time you devoted me. but in justice to the real citizenship of Arizona, I consider it my duty to work for such clean. constructive statesmen as Cam eron. Smith and Williams. who are real men. and are the only candidates fully pledged to relief on the Roose- welt reservoir payments and a protec- tive tariff on Maricopa county prod ucts.
