Dr. Lyon's PERFECT

1 Cleanses, preserves and beautifies the teeth, and Purifies the breath A superior dentifrice for people of refinement Established in 1866 by POLICE ON GUARD Sent Out to Aid in Capture of Horse Thieves Coming This Way. POSSE WAS IN PURSUIT. Superintendent Bailey, of the local police department, was notified last night of the theft of a horse and lumpy at May's Station, near Indianapolis. The robber were reported as headed in the direction of this city. The posse that pursued them almost overtook the thieves at Dunreith. An exchange of shots followed, but the robbers continued in the lead and managed to elude the pursuers. When informed of the probability the horse thieves would endeavor to reach this city, Superintendent Bailey dispatched two officers west on the National road in a buRgy. They had instructions to block the road and capture the thieves if possible, or at any rate to secure the stolen outfit. The local police never caught sight of the robbers. It is believed the latter swerved from the National road in the vicinity of Dublin and will make for the Ohio line. His Only Resource. It used to be the rule in the navy that officers were required to defray traveling expenses out of their own funds, and upon reporting- at the ner station they were reimbursed from tb United States treasury after the tisuil delay incident to "red tape." Unless officers had money put by it proved extremely embarrassing to have to meet the expenses of a long journey. Naval officers tell of an incident that occurred some years ago, when a notably impecunious officer on doty in New York received orders to proceed to Sitka to join one of the ships of the Bering sea patrol squadron. The officer, who had no ready money and could not persuade any of his friends to make him a loan, wrote a long letter to the secretary of the navy asking to be relieved of his orders or to be furnished with money to defray his traveling expenses. The secretary saw in the letter an attempt to get out of unpleasant duty, and a peremptory telegram ordered the officer to proceed at once. lie obeyed, first telegraphing as follows: "Have proceeded in obedience to orders on foot. Next address Harrisburg." Needless to say, upon his arrival in Harrisburg he found a telegram authorizing him to draw travel money in advance. Lippincott' Magazine. Yale "Spoon Men." For many years down to 1S72 the wooden spoon was the most coveted I honor of a Yale course. It did not necessarily indicate the highest scholarship, but it was voted by the graduating class to the most popular man. The "spoon man" of a class was it3 hero, according to the Hartford Courant. The other boys loved him. and'

he was almost invariably a person who ! inpss RC wouid conter a real benefit on justified that affection. The list ofj'he citizens, as he would be saving "spoon men'' would include some of j them money. the most eminent of Yale graduates.!

Tricky Maoris. There was quite a large Influx of Europeans at the opening of a public hall In one of the Taranaki villages. The Maoris seemed to have developed a craze for "change." Visitors were approached by a Maori in this wise: "You got two single shillin' and te ikipenny for te half crown?" And the change would be given. Others wanted two sixpences for a shilling, 2 shillings for a florin, and so on. By and by came dinner time. The visitors trooped in and enjoyed their feed. A collection was taken np. Not a soul of them had anything smaller than a 2 shilling piece. That's how the "child of nature" got home on the civilized product. Mapmaking. The earliest maps of which we have any knowledge were made In Egypt. They were wooden tablets, on which were traced land and sea, roads, rivers, highways, etc. Martnus of Tyre, 150 A. v.. was the Erst to attempt a map on scientific principles. The maps in D., use by the Greeks and Romans were fairly accurate, so far as they went, but those in use during the middle ages were alarmingly inaccurate. It is only withia recent years, say since

public service corporations commission and that there would be no char.ee then for any public service corporaj tion to act against the best intetests of! i ! the people so that in the event the people of Richmond sold their plant to its. competitor they would run no risk. Mr. Englebert then aked Mr. With-' erby if, in his opinion, the city plant was losins: money'.- ; Mr. Witherby replied that according to the report, made by Mr. McMahan. after he had inspected the books of the municipal plain, it was shown that the city was losing about n a year. Mr. Witherby then stated that the city had been ohlig.-d to borrow money from local banking institutions la.-t year to pay for the new unit placed at the plant. Mayor Schillinger denied this statement and Mr. Parry called Mr. Witherby a liar, whereupon Mr. Witherby laughed at him. Mr. Witherby denied that there was j any chance for the Light, Heat Tow- ;- company, in the event it secured th-' city piant, to get around its franchise by going into the hands of a receiver. He said that this was a gloomy and impossible picture "W. W. S." had drawn in an article which appearei the Palladium. H. B. Johnson stated that this was possible. He said that the Light. Heat Ac Power company could represent that under the franchise it had accepted in consideration for the sale of the municipal plant that it was impossible for that company to continue to operate. He said that the courts could then be persuaded to appoint a receiver for the company and sell the combined plants as machinery and without the franchise. The Hockholders of the Ix, H. & P. company, he said could then step in and buy up the combined plants for a song and refuse to operate here until the city had given it a suitable franchise. Overcharges Shown. Mr. Witherby said that he had never heard of such tactics being adopted by any company, but that Mr. Johnson appeared to be thoroughly conversant with this- crooked method. Mr. Witherby stated that the eitv had not charged the Lincoln judgment against the city plant and that the city plant charged the city .$o. k0 more per year for street lighting than it should charge. Mr. Witherby stated that in 10c his company offered to light the streets for $:;. less than the municipal plant charged. Mr. Witherby stated that the cityplant was not abiding by its published rates and that in .some instances people who used but little lighting and power were receiving the. lowest possible rates because they had "influence." He stated that if his company controlled the city plant it would religiously abide by the published rates and favor no one more than another. He admitted that the L., II. fc P. company cut it-s rates, but he said that his company was an independent one and could conduct its business in this manner if it saw fit to do so. He said that the municipal plant should not be operated on this basis as it was a citi zen's plant. and no discrimination .should be shown. Mr. Johnson stated that by the common law, the franchise the company held and because it was a quasi-public corporation, the Light, Heat - Power company had no right to cut rates and show discrimination. This provoked more cheering. Mayor Schillinger asked Mr. Witherby if it was still his religion to put municipal plants out of business. Mr. Witherby said it was. He said that D putting tne locai piant out or nusppopie oi mis city wouia mae a monumental mistake if it ever sold the plant to its competitor. Parry Orates. When Mr. Ashe had concluded his remarks. Controller Parry stated that the Light, Heat & Power company had not been given access to the municipal plant books because it would give them a chance to take the figures obtained from them and distort them in such a manner that it would appear that the municipal plant was not a financial success. He said that an over-friendly press would only be too j glad to publish these figures in the course of its campaign to educate the public up to a point where it would be willing to dispose of the municipal plant. He stated that one of these over-friendly newspapers was represented legally by Prosecutor Jessup, who was also the attorney for the Light, Heat & Power company. Mr. Jessup took the floor and denied that he was the attorney for any newspaper in this city, but said that j he was Xhe attorney for the Light, -, Heat &. Power company and it was on his suggestion that the company had submitted to council a proposition for The inspection of the municipal plant. Mr. Jessup stated that if such aji int spection revealed the fact that the

The first civilized settlement in Australia was made nt Botany bay in 17158 by some 1.030 persons, mostly convicts. In 1S25 Moreton bay. New South Wales, was settled. The settlement of Western Australia dates from Explorations of Australia began in 1815 and have been kept up at inter vals ever since. The greater part of the interior of the continent is little better than desert, being either naiid or dense shrub or porcupine bush.
