Big ROBBERY OF U.
S. MAILS DISCOVERED
$240,00O Stolen From the Malls In
Chicago on Last Thursday
Arrests Are Made.

Chicago, September 23.-Three men,
one of them John Wejda, clerk in the
Chicago postofiice, who is said to have
planned the robbery, we're arrested
here, early today, charged with steal
ing $240,OOO a shipment Of $415,O00,
last Thursday, from the Federal Re-
serve bank here to the Standard OIL
company of Indiana at Whiting, In
diana.
OF the stolen funds S93,62O was
recovered. The remainder, according
to an alleged confession of two of the
men, was abandoned at the outskirts
of Chicago when the automobile in
which they were returning from Whit
ing broke down.
A "piece of police luck" is pointed
to as responsible for the arrest of
the men. Chicago city detectives un-
earthed the postal robbery when two
of the men, LED and Walter Philips
brothers, 25 and 20 years old, respect
lively, were arrested in connection with
the robbery of saloon in which $500
was obtained.
A fourth man, said to be the owner
I of a small farm near Chicago, was
being sought early today. Police say
they believe most of the missing
money was buried on his property.

The Use Of Witch-hazel and Extracts

Although one man has been killed

this section for most every day drunks
are seen on the street and when ar
rests are made and the drunks are re-
uuired to tell what they drank In the
courts. they usually report that they
were either drinking witch-hazel OF
lemon extract.
Police and night watchmen report
finding empty pop bottles and empty
extract bottles as we'll as empty quart
bottles which smell of witch-hazel In
door steps most every morning early
when they are leaving their beats for
home and the situation has become
very serious in Maysville.
Witch hazel is being sold in local
hardware and harness stores at very
low price and it Is even reported tna'
there are ignorant men, who probably
t.ink there is license attached to Its
s,le, "boetlegging" witch-hazel on the
raiet. There are no laws to touch the
sale of either witch-hazel or extracts
and the police have quite a job or
their hands to handle the situation

FORMER DOVER GIRL
Is MISSING GFROM HER
CINCINNATI HOME
Irene WOrthington, Nine -Year.OI
Old Daughter of Edward WORTH
ington Missing Since Sunday.

Another mysterious disappearance
in which Mason county people will be
greatly interested is the disappearance
on last Sunday morning at her home
in Cincinnati of little Irene Worthing-

Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Worthington,
former residents of Dover. this coun-
ty.
Sunday morning the girl told her
mother she wanted to go to a picture
show.
II want II cents, mother" she said.
There is no show around here" her
mother said.
Eyes, there is. ! know where one
is," the girl replied.
So her mother gave her the money.
That was the last time the girl was
seen by her mother, who lives at 95S
Martin street
Throughout Sunday night the moth
er waited. All day Monday, and still
no sign of the girl. And then Mon
day night police were notified.
The girls father Edward Worthing-
ton, has searched the city for trace OF
the girl, but with no success.
Police are asking:
Why, if the girl intended going tc
a show, did she wrap her silk dress
in paper and take it along?
Why did she tell James Ringo, g
friend of the family, who was at the
home Sunday. that she was going
visiting?"
On this theory police turned theiI
investigation to Dayton, KY, with the
hope the child went there to visit ar
aunt. But she did not go there.
They inquired in the vicinity o.
Fourth and Mill streets, where thu
Worthingtons formerly lived.
They learned from the mother tina
a certain woman who lives near tn,
Worthingtons' old home, has mad,
threats against the child and ono,
tried to get authorities TO place her il
home.
Failing there, police turned thei
attention to New Richmond O., ant
Dover, Ky, two former homes of tn,
girl. From those places no word o
her appearance has been received.
Once before, police learned, the cir
was away from home.
Police asked children of the neigh
borhood If Irene Worthington saic

Only Specimen of Giant Panda Ever
Brought to United States Installed in
American Museum of Natural History

There has just been placed on exhi-

lean Museum of Natural History in
New York, what is believed to be the
only specimen of the Giant Panda over
brought to this country. 1t was mount
ed by Frederick Blaschke from a COM
mercial skin obtained by missionary
in western china.
The animal, which in general shape
resembles a bear, and is about the size
of our black bear, 10 really a distant
relative of the racoon. 1t is sometimes
called the bear-racoon. Its striking
black and white coat and short muzzle,
and the curious black patches about
the eyes give it a very extraordinary
appearance. Almost nothing is known
of its habits, but IL is said to feed on
roots, vegetables and bamboo shoots.

der parts, Pere David's deer is about
the size of the red deer of Europe. The
horns lack the browtine, are very sim
gular in shape, and sometimes grow to
be 32 inches long. The long tail reach
es to the hooks, and the gait resembles
that of a mule. Fond of marshy places
and of wading IN shallow water. Pere
David's deer also swims well in the
deeper water of lakes.
Although native to northern China,
II is believed that the only living rep
resentatiyes of this strange animal are
confined to England. When Pere
David discovered the species, the only
known examples were in the great
hunting preserve attached TO the impe-
rial palace at Pekin. That was in
1860. In 1894, the Hun-Ho river over
flowed its banks, making breaches in
the walls of the hunting park and the
deer escaped and are supposed to have
been killed and eaten. Several pair,
however, had been sent to England as
gifts, among them pair which was
presented to the Duke OF Bedford
These were placed on his estate at
Woburn Abbey. 1t is the descendants
of this pair that are now supposed to
be the sole living remains of Pere Da-
vid's deer. A mounted specimen. how
ever, may be seen among other rare
animals in the American Museum, in
New York
