EXPERT OPENS LOADED
SAFE IN POSTOFFICE

Warrenburg, Mo-, Dec. 27.-Joy
came to Postmaster Smith here last
night when an expert opened the safe
which had been standing in the post
office nearly a week, with an unex
ploded charge of nitroglycerine around
the cracks of it's doors. Several thou
sand dollars in stamps and money in
the safe were undisturbed.
No one had been found who cared
to risk opening the safe until the ex-
pert arrived. He neutralized the
nitroglycerine by pouring over it a
chemical solution, afterward exploding
al dynamite cap on the door to prove
that the glycerine Mad been rendered
harmless.
The nitroglycerine was poured into
the safe by burglars who were fright
ened away before completing their
work.

MARYLAND LYNcHERS TO
BE PUNISHED BY STATE

Annapolis, Md, Dec. 27.-Governor
Crothers has interested himself in the
investigation of the lynching of King
Johnson, alias Davis, the negro, who
was taken from the lookup at Brook
lyn, Md, Christmas morning and kill
ed by unknown persons. Johnson shot
and killed Frederick Schwab, a white
man, at Fairfield, last Sunday morn
ing.
After a consultation with Judge
Brashers and States Attorney Green,
OF Anne Arundel county, the COVER
nor last night authorized the state-
ment that he would insist that rne
lynchers be brought to justice. Both
the county officers expressed them
selves as in accord with the COVER
nor.
The county police are investigating
the AFFAIR, but their efforts thus far
to learn the identity Of Johnson's
slayers have been futile, 1t is under
stood.

FROM LABOR WAR
rorAL OF 100000 LOCKED OUT
AND LIKE NUMBER ON
HALF PAY IN ENGLAND.

Manchester, Eng, Dec. 27.-Notices
We're posted this morning at all Of
the mills belonging to members Of the
Federation of Master Cotton Spin
ners in the north and northeast OF
the county of Lancashire that the
cloth mills will be closed tonight and
not reopened until further notice.
z Weavers to the number of 10000
will thus be locked out tonight and
about an equal number of spinners
will be reduced Immediately to half
time with every prospect of com
plete stoppage of work if the trouble
should be prolonged.
The Federation of Z Master Cotton
Spinners at a meeting this morning
decided that it was impossible to con-
tinue turning out yarn while the
looms were idle. They will therefore
curtail production by topping work
on three days in each week beginning
January 1.
Two non-unionists whose employ
ment originated the strike have re
sisted every inducement thrown out
to them to join the union and an
nounced late last night that their de-
termination was unalterable.

MERCURY DROPS
AT RAPID RATE
COOLEST WEATHER OF THE WIN
TER MAY BE EXPERIENCED
IN NEXT FEW DAYS.

Without any advance notice except
that it might be slightly colder, the
weather man yesterday sent the fore
runner of what may prove the cold
est spell of the season.
Brunswick has been enjoying unus-
ually warm weather during the past
few weeks, it being necessary on only
one or two occasions, to use fires, but
the change came yesterday, and that
too, within a short time. The mer-
curry started to drop early in the day
and before night it had succeeded in
clipping off about 20 degrees, with the
indications that it will go still loHel
before the cold spell is over.
At an early hour this morning the
mercury was lowering around the
freezing point on the thermometer,a ,and
the weather probnosticator predicts
colder weather for today, with
probable temperature as low as y
before tomorrow morning.

Smooth Political Move.

Toxic, Dec. .27s+Yuan Shi Kais
proposal to decide. the form. of gov
ernment which shall prevail under the
new regime in China by means of a
convention of delegates from all over
the empire is regarded here as d
shrewd move, but opinion is divided
as to whether it can be successfully
carried out. Many prominent Japan
ese believe that the proposal will be
accepted by the revolutionary leaders
In order to make it easier FOR Yuan
Shi Kai to impress upon the court
the ahdication is unavoidable.
On the other hand, many Of the
Well-informed here think that the
great body of the revolutionists is too
impatient for action to await the tedi-
GUS outcome of national convention.
The revolutionists are fully aware of
the present helplessness of the Pekin
government. With this in mind the
rebel army at Marking may insist
upon the refusal of Yuan Shi Kai's
proposal and the immediate resump-
tion of military activity.
The soldiers confidently expect that
Yuan will yield as gracefully as pos
sible whenever such demonstration
is made.

Empty Treasury and Lack of Credit
Won War fer RevoIutionists - The
Premier's Representative Deserted.
Premier Yuan Will Resign.

Pekin, Dec. 7.-Representative
members of the imperial court, ac-
cordlng to an authoritative source,
nave signified to Premier Yuan Shi
hai their willingness to agree to an
abdlcation. The court, the same au-
thor1ty states, realizes that there is
no nope for it in the detention Of three
or four detached sections of the coun-
try ana semi-loyal provinces, and
hopes to obtain better terms by agree
ing to the proposed referendum on the
question Of the form of government.
Premier Yuan Shi Kai fully realizes
that the republican spokesmen gath
cred at the peace conference at the
city of Shanghai are not likely to ac-
cept his proposition for a carefully
elected assembly representing the en-
tire empire. He is of the opinion the
republicans know that time will favor
his yuan Shi Kai's) plan.
Empty Treasury Cause of Fall.
The premier is certain that he could
win several battles with the modern
-J W hio Ul0POodl, NhlCh ~ D0CISI
equipped and greatly superior to the
rebel forces, but as he is unable ro
obtain any loans he would be unable
TO reconquer the lost provinces.
Yuan Shi Kai in all probability will
resign his office after making the
best terms possible for the throne.
Yuan Shi Kai regrets what he con-
siders to be Tang Shao Yi's deser
ton. He suggests that Tang Shao Y
might become president Of the repub
lie, which is an office he himselt
would not accept. He also regrets
that foreign nations have withheld
their financial support, with the hell
of which he thinks he could have re-
conquered the country.

Of the life of John R. Barcus.

of the life of John R. Barcus.
"Barcus was GA years old, and was
a saw filler by trade, capable of max
ing big wages in the mill towns.
Charles Adams, of this city, knew
Barkus well. In fact, Mr.. Adams en-
ployed Barcus in his mill in Bruins
wick, Ca, for number of years. Mr..
Adams met him first in Muskegon,and
nearly twenty years ago he took him
from Menominee to Brunswick, with
him to become the head filec in the
mill in the South. Mr.. Barcus is said
to nave been one of the best filers in
the South, and was always sure OF a
position, although he was unfortunate
in his habits, it is said. 1t was re-
ported that on the day Of his arrival
here last July, Barcus attempted to
find Mr.. Adams, calling up his resi-
dence by telephone from the Wander
Veen drug store, but failed to find his
old time employer. 1t was probably
soon after that incident, that the old
man wandered out into the still woods
of the lake shore hills, never to re-
turn. raf
According to the discovery made
today it is very evident that the body
of John r. Barcus had not been in
the woods over FIVE months.
"The Identification of the body
brings about the solution Of the most
puzzling mystery which has ever
been wrapped in the lake shore hills. y
