TWO POSHOFPICE
ROBBERS CAPTURED.
POCahontaS Druggist Gave Tip Which Lead
to Arrest Of Negroes Supposed 10 be Men
Who Robbed ECkman POStoffiee

Two negro postoffice robbers were
captured at Pocahontas on last Friday
through the Sherlock Holmes efforts of
Floyd Black, the well known druggist
of that place.
The men called on Mr.. Black in an ef-
fort to ascertain the amount of postage
1t would require to carry a package
which they intended mailing to Pitts
burgh. Mr.. Black weighed the package
and told them that thirty-four cents
was necessary. The men then placed
on the package twenty-five five cent
stamps, and gave out the information
that they were flush with stsmps
and didn't care how they used them.
After they had registered the package
in the postoffice, MIR. Black called on
Postmaster Mustsrd and asking him if
he suspected the men, he immediately
opened the package ard found it con-
tanned postage stamps.
MIR. Black and Mr.. Mustard proceed
eu to find officers Mays and Gusjot. and
following the men. captured them as
they were about to cross the state line
into West Virginia, but not until one of
them in attempting to escape was shot
through the head by one of the officers.
The postoffice at Eckman, W. Va.
was robbed some time ago and it is sur
missed that these parties were the rob
bers, since they had in their possession
stamps about equal the amount taken
from the Eckman office.

WHATS DOING IN
NATIONS CAPITAL.
Interesting SideIlghtS on Events Now En-
gaging Attention in Washington Tsrsey
Given by Our Correspondent

Washington, d. c., Feb. 2O.-During
a political year, especially when con.
gress is in session at the same time,
there's hardly dull moment in Wash
ington. When someone isn't launcinp
a presidential boom, someone else is
squelching one, knitting or smothering
one, as the case may be.
Being the center Of national political
activity, Washington gets all the ru-
mors that may be flying about the coun-
try. It's immaterial that most of these
rumors are not true; they serve as news
while they are hot, and before they
have been thoroughly digested in all of
their beneficial or sinister potentialities,
they are replaced by fresh output.
Fearing, perhaps, that there would
be enough material for the political
forecasters to work on this year, there
have been established, mainly in Wash
ington, large numte er of political news
bureaus, and these are showering the
newspaper correspondents, as well as
the editors throughout the country,
with propaganda about the candidates
in whose interests the bureaus are sup
posed to be working. Very often the
candidates are the ones having the
smallest real interest in the game, but
sometimes they serve as stalking horses
for other interests and at the same time
help to make news" which is con-
sumed in place of the real article anG
often without being distinguished from
it.
