Pocketpicking.

Three men we're arrested at $50 g.
M, Thursday, at Jefferson avenue anC
Olive street, on suspicion of being
street car pickpockets, though no rob-
berry had at that time been reported. An
hour later William Miles of Union City,
Tenn, reported that he h I'd been
robbed of $4,000 on a Compton car,
and his money, bank notes from the
Third National Bank of his home town,
was found in the effects of two of the
men.
Patrolmen Curran and Bentley of the
Laclede Avenue Station made the ar
rests. They noticed the uneasy, shift
ing appearance of the men, and judged
them to be police characters. Curran
remembered having seen them jump
ing on and off cars. At headquarters
all three were recognized as police char
acters, and were identified with the aid
of Rogues' Gallery pictures as Kid Fos-
ter of New York, Tom Wilson of Ho-
boken and Gus Meyer of Chicago.
Curran and Bentley were compli-
mented by Superintendent Shea of the
Bertilion Bureau on their catch, but it
did not appear that any charge would
be placed against the men, until Miles
appeared at $50 accompanied by VIM.
A. Beckham, another Tennessean.
Somebody got my purse on a car
between Union Station and Broadway, "
said Miles. I might not know the
fellow that got it, but certainly would |
know the money. There were three
twenties and three tens, all from the
Third National Bank in Union City,
and the twenties had the name of the
president of the bank signed on them
in red ink. "
\ look at the articles taken from
Kid Foster and Tom Wilson showed
the money, red ink signatures and all,
and Miles was invited to look at the
.hree men. He said he recognized Fos-
er as a man he had seen on the car
platform.

While there is tendency for
many things to become lower there
is an indication that lemons and ba-

are getting remarkably cheap in
comparison with the prices at the
opening in the spring
Sugar was advanced ten points this
morning, the first advance that has
taken place in some time.
The price Of eggs continues at 10
cents but the market is very weak.
Dealers say they are as low as can be
bought and as high as they can be
sold, SO 1t looks that the market here
is at a standstill. Young chickens
are weaker and there will be q de-
