NEWSPAPER THIEVES.

People living on Cameron street
complain OF the theft OF papers from
their front doors. A lady this morn
ing saw a negro remove her paper from
the door almost as soon as it had been
placed there by the carrier. The pub
fishers OF newspapers are subjected to
chronic annoyance by this species OF
petty larceny. Subscribers are prone
to place the blame upon the carriers
when they fail to receive their papers,
but it is not always the fault OF the
latter. When there is anything sensa'
tiona to be printed it seems that Ger.
tain persons steal papers. The negro
who removed the paper this morning
probably had heard of four members
of his race having been killed by a
cavein, a1d wanted to read the facts at
somebody's expense.

CONTAMINATED OYSTERS.
Surveys by Maryland Authorities
Show Unsanitary Conditions
Near Colonial Beach.

Washington, March 16-Last week
the health authorities of Washing
ton seized two cargoes of contamin-
ated oysters. Representative Parran,
/ of MARYLAND, has received a number
OF letters protesting against the bus
mess in the contaminated oysters.
and in response to complaints he took
the matter up with Secretary Wilson
to see if some remedy could not
be made in this regard. Represen-
tative Parran has received the fol-
lowing letter from Secretary Wilson
in which he says:
81 am in receipt Of your letter Of
March s, addressed to the chief OF the
Bureau of Chemistry, and have care
fully noted what you say. There Is
no doubt of the fact that the 10
tomac River is contaminated with
the sewage Of Washington, especially
in its upper reaches, but it is a ques-
ton whether this contamination en-
tends down as far as the oyster beds.
Surveys made by our experts show
that the principal source OF contain
ination is found at Colonial Beach,
where there is a very large summer
population and where the sewage is
all poured directly into the stream.
Four or five miles below Colonial
Beach and two or three miles above,
owing to the ebb and flow Of the
tide, the contamination is very mark
ed. | beg to inform you, however,
that 4 more careful survey Of the riv-
er is just now beginning, and in q
tug furnished by the navy depart
ment our experts are going to make
a complete sanitary survey Of the Po-
tomac River from Georgetown to
Chesapeake Bay. 1t will require I
couple Of months 10 complete this
survey and prepare the data. Mean
while we are trying to keep out of
Washington the worst of the contain
mated oysters, and We are not do
ing this with any view Of iniuring
the oyster dealers. but rather with
a view of having them take oysters
from clean waters where there is no
danger Of contamination. Experts
have told us that oysters may be Ia
ken from contaminated waters. plant
ed in clean waters. and lose all their
contamination in q few weeks. If
this practice we're made general even
oysters from contaminated areas
might be made suitable for con-
sumption"

CONFESSED HIS GUILT.
Express Agent Huffman Acknowledge
es He Stole Package Containing
$4,000.

Lynchburg, Va, March 16-After
stoutly denying his guilt and creating
a general belief as to his absolute in
nocence, George E. Huffman, the pos
tai clerk who had been on trial in the
Federal court since Wednesday, broke
down yesterday and admitted that
he stole the $4,000 registered pack
age from the mails on the morning
OF October %. Huffman was SEN
fenced to three and half years at
hard labor in the Federal prison at
Atlanta.
Judge Mcdowell said the sentence
would be increased if the money was
not returned to the government. Huff
man was sent to the city Jail, where
he will be held until the money is re-
covered.
The grief of the mother of the
self-confessed robber was pltiful, for
she had believed him innocent. She
broke down and her sobs could be
heard throughout the courthouse.
Huffman's wife had been apprised of
what was coming and she quietly left
and went to her room at the hotel.
There, two hours later, Mrs. Huffman
delivered to Inspector Mosby her has
bands grip, wherein was found ST.
700 in twenty dollar bills.
When court reconvened this morn
ing Huffman changed his plea to
guilty. His counsel made strong plea
for leniency. The government did
not ask for the maximum penalty, but
district attorney Gillespie said he
thought the sentence should be Sc
we're.
Huffman's undoing came through
the women of his family. Three
weeks ago one of them went to Nor
folk with $4,000 in her possession.
This, according to the inspectors,
was turned over 10 an uncle. The
uncle told his wife, and she wrote
the fact to relative in Rockingham
county This relative in turn wrote
to another woman, whose address is
unknown. Her letter found its way
into the possession Of the inspectors

DAN RIVER ON RAMPAGE.

Account of Heavy Fall Of
Water.

Danyille, Va, March 15.--An al
most continuous and unprecedented
rainfall from 2 a. m. until 2 p. m.
today in this vicinity. and extending
for many miles in every direction, has
swept away bridges, inundated cleo
trio light and power plants and has
caused cessation of trolley traffic, and
tied up practically every manufacture
ing enterprise in this city of 20,0On
people. The Dan River rose lG feet
in q few hours, but was stationary
at 5 D. m. with all plants and mills
on the river front inundated and work
SUSPENDED. The nine mills of the
riverside group COTTON factories) had
to shut down from high water. The
city electric light and power plant
was suspended at p. M, stopping
the wheels in all plants, practically
all of which are dependent on it for
power.
Newspapers Cannot Be Printed.
Afternoon papers we're not issued
and it is uncertain that paper will
be issued tomorrow. The city is in
total darkness except for gas, which
Is likely To fail by morning, the plant
being partially inundated.
Tracks on the Southern are under
water and the Richmond division and
east and west bound trains had to
transfer passengers. Traffic on the
Southern's main line was delayed
five to seven hours by washouts and
slides.
1t is impossible to estimate the to-
tai damage, from all sources, but II
will probably exceed 500, 600.

graceful and deplorable affair at
Hillsyjlle is but the logical conclu-

call of Judges" said Judge w. R.
STAPLES while waiting for a train here
this morning.
This theory has spread the germ
of dissatisfaction with and disregard
for judges and these people have be-
come infected with it. This lament
able affair was but crude, bloody
and high-handed way of recalling
Judge Massie.
: THAT the advocacy OF such theor-
les as the recall of Judges is dam

attests."

Proposed New Fish Law.

The most radical bill ever introduced
in the Wisconsin legislature for the
regulation of the fishing industry was
introduced at the special session Tues
day. 1t completely reverses the time
tried policy of the state and inaugur-
ates a system for the taking of all
rough fish by the state fish and game
warden directly or by contract.
The new bill repeats the entire license
system in vogue in Wisconsin for over
twenty years. 1t absorbs the local
fsherman's business, which, in recent
years has grown to enormous proper
lions in the Mississippi river, Lake
Pepin and the tributary waters of
Lakes Superior and Michigan.
The reason back of the new bill is
that the state fish and game. warden is
convinced that the local fishing business
is profitable. The plan outlined in the
bill has been given trial by the state
game warden's department in several
small inland lakes, with surprising
financial results. 1t is this success that
has prompted the state game warden
to ask the state for permission to take
on er the entire fishing business and
conduct it as state enterprise. State
Game Warden John A. Sholts is enthu-
siastic over this plan and predicts that
the financial returns would build the
new 100000 state capitol without the
aid of an additional state tax.

Bell Punch Law.

Berlin Journal: The new income tax
law is being dubbed, humorously, the
leash register or 'bell punch law, !"
because it requires every man to keep
tab on his income and note down each
item. Therefore, the easiest way will
be for every man to get pocket cash
register or one of those old-fashioned
bell punches that street car conductors
used to wear with strap around the
neck or over the shoulder. Every time
your hens lay an egg, pull the string to
register the event, and in addition set
down the price of eggs at that time, so
when the ''cesser" calls you can use
your adding machine and figure up
your income and ''tell the man" about
it.
This law goes into effect May 1st and
every man having an income of GER
tain amount must pay an income tax.
Verify, verilee, this country is rapidly
becoming land OF crazy fads and in
novations so that in time the Pilgrim
fathers will be sailing to whence they
came; eastward the star of the empire
will be taking its way, and Plymouth
rock will be located on the ice bound
shore of Madagascar or some other
heather country where we may emf
CRATE and be permitted to have some
thing to say about running our own
affairs with no commissioner, Inspector
or game warden to modest us or make
us afraid.

GROWERS of pure-bred Wisconsin seed
are unable to supply the demand COM
ing from all over the world The fail
ure of the seed corn in other states and
the fame of the Wisconsin types have
combined to bring orders that have lit
orally swamped the growers. At the
agricultural experimental station orders
are being turned down daily. Growers
secured such good prices that they
were tempted to sell too much of their
stock Now there is not enough left
for sale to home farmers. One Wis
consin seed grower, H. E. Kreuger of
Beaver Dam, has sold over $4,000
worth this year, and others are said to
have done better Enough pedigreed
barley will be grown in Wisconsin this
year, said Prof r. A Moore, to cover
the entire barley acreage of the United
States, and next year there will be
enough to cover the pedigreed barley
acreage of the world. Free Press.

In AN editorial on maintaining fertil-
ity, the Wisconsin Agriculturist well
says: 1T has been estimated that a
continuous cropping with wheat will
remove fertility from new fertile land
to the amount of 500 an acre in 20
years, and that herd of cows, one an
imal to each four acres, will completely
restore this fertility in the same length
of time. Such an estimate will vary.
of course, but the main fact is most
important; that is, that a good sized
herd of cattle, horses, sheep and swine
will hold the ordinary farm up to some
thing like constant state of produc-
tive power. With the help of clovers,
this can. be done with certainty. With
little stock, and but little growing of
legumes, it is losing game.
