CHILDREN FOLLOW THE
 LITTLE GERMAN BAND

The little German band that is mak- ing music on the streets of this city were responsible for several West Fifth avenue mothers experiencing a brief fright yesterday, when they learned that their boys and girls, who are too young for school work, were missing. The little band had just gone west on tn eavenue, after stop ping at various corners to play sell ectiOns that ran from Tucia" to "The Turkey Trot.' Investigation revealed the fact that the tots were following the band and some of them had drift ed blocks away from their homes. The excitement subsided when the children were singled out and taken home again.

ADMITS STEALING
 SACK OF ONIONS
John Price is Arrested By Constable Stewart While Making His
 Getaway.

John Prices love for the odorous vegetable commonly called onions was the cause of his wetting his gar ments in the trOubulOus waters o1 crime Wednesday morning.
 Price is negro and typical one at that, and negro-like he does love On ions. So when he saw an opportunity to pick up sack full of choice vege- tables, he immediately took the chance. He filled a sack to the top with onions and cabbage belonging to the Bahlau Produce Company and went on his way rejoicing, thinking of the luscious repast he would make on boiled cabbage and fried onions. How ever, his hopes were all in vain. and just as he was making his getaway Constable Frank Stewart, always on the alert, appeared on the scene and collared the black.
 Price at first denied that he had stolen the vegetables, saying that they had been given to him. MT. Bahlau was then called, and upon confront ing him, Price confessed that he

Sheriff Edgar Brewster and his corps of assistants are busy issuing tax receipts and collecting taxes for the past year. Many are coming in every day settling their taxes, but Sheriff Brewster urges everybody who can to pay their taxes immediate ly, as he fears congestion at the of flee during the last days for tax paying. More peopl are paying their taxes now, than there were a week ago, but many have not called at the sheriffs office who should have
 handed in their lists and paid their taxes before now" said Mr. Brewster. "The tax books will close on April 10 and there is penalty attached to the failure to pay taxes before that time. y

The1e is evidence, however. that spec ,lative short interest has been re- t"ced, and unless weather remains BOOT we believe it will be difficult to advance prices materially. Spots arc dull.

STOMACH ELOQUENCE.

"The boys are so hungry" cried
one of the statesmen at Washington.
expostulating against an extension
of the civic service rules just as the
deal was passed in national politics.
The protest has been considered.
The civil service rules are not to APP
ply to the army of income tax col
lectors. The list of candidates who
have passed civil service examina-
lions has been ignored. The hungry
will be fed.
Empty stomachs were more power
full in persuasion than that plank in
the democratic platform which says
that the law pertaining to the civil
service should be honestly and rig
idly enforced to the end that merit
and ability should be the standard OF
appointment and promotion, rather
than service rendered to a political
party. Toledo co.. Blade.

tralize any effect the Ralston speech
may have had.
However, in spite of all Of this fav-
orabIe comment and of all Of the ef-
forts of the better elements to pre-
vent it, the election of Bell appears to
be the best bet today. The democratic
lines have been drawn tight and the
organization is supplied with plenty
of money from source to carry on its
campaign. There are spots in the city
where democrats are opposed to Bell
and will vote against him In large
numbers, cut with a republican tick
ct, a progressive ticket, and a citizens
ticket in the field there Is no hope that
the opposition to Bell will ever get
together in such manner as to become
yer reflective against him at the cleo
ton. If this opposition could be ANAL
gamated into one body Bell would be
beaten to a froth.
Bookwalter expects to receive thou
sands of colored votes that went to
the progressive ticket last year Book
walter always was popular with the
negroes, but they got away from the
party last year. When Bookwalter
held his first big meeting of the cam
paign one night last week. there was
street parade in which several hun
dred negroes marched and yelled for
