Money Out of Cash Drawer.

For some time Postmaster John
C. McLendon of Sasser has been
missing money from the cash drawer
in the postoffice, and believing that
his office was being Systematically
robbed by some one on the outside
Tuesday night he secreted himself in
the postoffice with the lights out
and began a watch for the intruder.
He had but a few minutes to wait,

which had been opened by the boy,
and pull out the cash drawer, help
ing himself to the money left there.

WHIskEY FROM GAS JET.
Revenue Officers Find Unique Hiding
Place For Booze in Oklahoma.

Discovery by NJ. E. Welch, q mar
shall, of a new method of dispensing
liquor in Oklahoma through gas
Jet has given rise to a good deal OF
speculation among federal officers in
Muscogee as to what dodge will next
be resorted to by 'bootleggers.
WEIGH had failed on many occa-
sions to find liquor in a suspected
place in Nowata, where he had every
reason to believe that liquor was
kept. 1t was by accident that one OF
his assistants, in endeavoring to light
the gas, touched a hidden valve that
caused the whiskey to pour from the
chandelier. The entire supply was
drained out of a little copper tank
secreted in the ceiling just above
the chandelier.

THE MAYORS MATINEE
More Than Hundred Dollars in Fines
Added to City Treasury at Last
Session of Mayors Court.

|
Mayor McNuIty held his regular
weekly matinee at the city hall on
Monday morning, and as is usual
the mayor had an interesting and
amusing meeting to the spectators
and made it unusually exciting it not
pleasing to the principal actors.
There were some automobilists be-
fore his honor charged with hiding
their lights under a bushel measure,
but after satisfactorily explaining to
his honor that their lack Of brilliance
was purely accidental and after
promises that in future they would
keep their lights trimmed and burn
ing they were excused without fine.
The next actor who appeared for
the inspection of the mayor was John
Henry Casey, one of the citizens OF
color, who conceived the brilliant
idea of entertaining his friends with
a beer supper" charging the small
sum of 20 cents for the privilege OF
entering at the door and incidentally
wetting their whistles with the Ii
uuid that made Milwaukee famous.
John Henry's scheme was so success
full that in short time the house of
entertainment was full of soaked and
hilarious sons and daughters OF
Ham, when the police interfered and
arrested the host. The mayor
thought that one capable of giving
his friends such a good time should
contribute something to the city and
assessed Casey $4,000 or 60 days. |
Boot Burch, who acted as Casey's |
assistant entertainer, his part OF the
program was the spreading of the |
joyful news to his friends on the
streets and incidentally carrying |
buckets Of the joy juice to few
white friends about town who got |
wise to the supper. For his part in
the entertainment the mayor charg- |
ed the sum of $40 or 60 days.
Sam Woods, a negro who runs an |
automobile delivery was the next
man up. Sam was charged with |
running his automobile through the |
streets at night with his muller cut |
out, much to the annoyance OF other |
citizens. For this he was fined $50 |
or 60 days, and warned that this |
unnecessary and annoying practice |
must not be repeated.
The mayor is determined to put |
stop to the many violations OF the !
ordinance, and has an
nounced that the fines he imposes in
the future will be increased.

MIR. BACON HAS FEVER.
But the Condition of the Georgia
Senator Is Not Serious.

A stubborn little fever, the source
of which is not known and which
thus far has resisted the efforts OF
his physicians, has kept Senator Ba-
con indoors several days. The sem
ator's temperature for three or four
days has stood around 100, and this
was attributed at first to the cold he
had contracted, but this diagnosis
has been dissipated by the continu-
ance of the fever after the cold had

Removal of the duty on sugar under

industry in this country, according to
statements made recently at the an

Beet Sugar Industry association, in
Chicago. The conference was attend

beet sugar manufactures in various
sections of the country. The tariff
changes will not so materially affect

CALIFORNIA REPUBLICANS
GAINING

From the figures of registration,
thus far, is is evident that. the Pro
gressives will be third in strength in
the state, and not impossible that Re
publican registration will exceed the
aggregate of Democrats and Pro-
gressives.
The progressives are thoroughly or
ganized and have in their camp a
great many politicians who have dem
onstrated their political astuteness
for years before the Progressive par
ty was thought of. By offers of
prizes for the largest Progressive reg
istration and putting the machinery
in perfect order in every county in
the state before the first of the year,
it was the Progressive expectation to
stampede the state by a show of force
during the first month.
The result probably astonishes the
Progressives more than any one else.
The Republicans had no organization
to start with, and are but just getting
one now. The suggestion that the
~"predatory interests are pouring out
money to secure a large Republican
registration has no foundation, except
in the imagination of Progressive can
didates. If, as the Chronicle has re
peatedly urged, contributions to and
expenditures of political committees
had been made public records we
should know, as the public has the
right to know, just who is paying to
all parties and how much. Without
knowing the facts, the Chronicle is
convinced that a showdown would
demonstrate that the Republican com
mittee had less money than either
Progressives or Democrats.
The cause of the great Republican
registration, as the Chronicle be-
~lieves, is the disgust of the rank and
file of all parties with Democratic
tariff and other legislation, and with
the attepmt of the Progrssives to run
a national party on state issues, and
a resulting determination 10 put an
end to it, so far as the people of the
state can do so, by putting California
back where it belongs, in the Repub-
lican column. The efforts of the Pro-
gressives have evidently stimulated
both Republicans and Democrats to
register, which is good.-Chronicle

the beet sugar men declare it will be
difficult for the manufacturers in this
country to compete with makers of
cane sugar in Cuba and the beet sugar
industries in Germany and Russia.
+" Cuba makes sugar for less than we
paw the farmer for sugar in the beet
before any account is taken OF the
process of manufacturing and ship
ping" said Clarence c. Hamlin,
president of the United States Sugar
& Land Co, of Garden City, Kansas.
The talk pointed to one result of
the removal of the tariff protection
the exodus of beet sugar growers
from Colorado to Alberta, Canada.
With beet sugar manufacturers de-
pending upon beet growing, the dis
enlargement of the growers by the
tariff removal caused seven from one
district to take together Ii farms
near Bassano, in Alberta, where they
expect the establishment of a sugar
factory. A. l.. Fryberger, one of these
farmers, stated the reasons for the
removal.
81 moved up to Bassano early this
spring" he said, "after nine years
in Colorado spent in beet raising. 1t
was with the idea of making a report
TIC my friends in Colorado that | ex-
perimented with beets, to test the
suitability of that country for their
growth on a commercial scale. / am
very much pleased, therefore, to be
able to say that the experiment has
been entirely satisfactory. This is

WHAT SPIDER INDICATED

When Mark Twain, in his early
days, was editor of a Missouri paper,
a superstitious subscriber wrote to
him saying that he had found a
spider in this paper and asking him
whether it was a sign of good luck
or bad. The humorist wrote to him
this answer and printed it:
cold misunderstanding a spider
in your paper was nither good luck
nor bad luck for you. The spider
was merely looking over our paper to
see which merchant is not advertis-
ing, so that he can go to that store
and lead a life of undisturbed peace
ever afterward. '-Pittsburg Chron-
icle Dispatch.
