Charles Beelcr, who robbed the Wells-Kargo Express company, at San Antonio, lex., of $50,000 eleven years ago, is running an engine on tho St. Louis, nrownsvillo and Mexico lailroad. He is apparently sutfering no pangs of conscience over his crime. The penalty which he paid for taking the money was five years in the penitentiary, the court giving him that sentence on a plea of guilty. Heeler Rtole the money while he was hauling it from the express of- j fice to the railroad station, in San | Antonio. He buried it on a ranch a short distance from the city and then tie.I into Mexico. lie was wtpturc and taken back to Texas tor trial and after lie had pleaded guilty m.un i confession and led the detective? to the place where he buried th( money. Hut he could not rind it either from mistaking the location 01 having some one else dig it up, and he was accordingly taken back and sentenced to five years In prison which be served. When he stepped out of prison two detectives met him and accompanied him to San Antonio. Heeler worked at odd Jobs for a time, aim then obtained a place as fireman on a locomotive on the Trinity an Brazos railroad. A detective rode on every train that hia engine pulled Heeler wis watched day and night He went to the St. Louis, Brownsvillo and Mexico railroad from the Trinity and Brazos Valley In the hope of getting rid of the detectives, but they followed him. It 1? now six years einee he left the penitentiary, und until a few weeks ago "here never was a moment In all tkat period that ho was not being Rpied upon by detectives. It is s:iJ(1 the express company la nt last convinced that Heeler's story 01 some one finding the burled money and yetting away with it is true. As a locomotive engineer this former express robber is performing good and faithful service. Chaps Off Fingers. At Spartanburg Robert Smith, ?

"When the grand Jury now Investigating 'He sampling of sugar at New Orleans finishes Its work. It will he found that the frauds against the Government there have been going on for at '??hhi fifteen years." This statement was made Friday by an official of the eustoms service, who declared all the suspected frauds would b* found in the sampling of sugar and in the tests which determine the saccharine contents upon which the Importer pays duty. An investigation of alleged "drawback"frau8 at San Francisco is alnj Imminent. In fact, it is known that a preliminary Investigation has furnished evidence which lends tre.ibury olllcials to believe that the frauds at San Francisco will eclipse .1. ..A K* XT 1.

Kvidence collected by the customs service is said to show the Government has for years ze?n paying "drawback" cn Phllllplne sugar, which came into the United States duty free, was used in the preservation of California fruit and later exported as sugar imported from .la 'a on which duty had been paid. One of the ollicials of the treasury department Friday said: "The; troubles of the sugar importers have | only begun. The discoveries of the j frauds have only started." . Humanity Demands It. Strikes and lockouts are a barbarism which very rarely may ho excus- I ' ablo but which should never he re sorted to until every other method of adjustment has been tried. In the! Ions run most of these disputes are i settled by arbitration, and the average man wonders why this could j not have been done at the begin- ! ning instead of the end and thereby | considerable interruption to business j and untold suffering prevented. The dispute between the garment j workers and their employers in Chicago is one of the worst in recent years. Public opinion and sympathy in the matter may to some extent be divided, but anyone who knows anything about sweat shop conditions, the avarice of the men who are responsible for tdosc conditions and the cruel advantages so often taken' i of immigrant women and girls ignorant of these conditions, may well! believe thai the workers have much cause for complaint. Hut the saddest thing of all is the suffering of innocent members of the families involved. In the homes ot ! the strikers impoverished by weeks j of idleness five hundred children have been born since the trouble began. The thought of those infants ' coming into the world at such a time j and the wretchedness, suffering and i sorrow it all means arouses the sym- 1 pathy and indignation of every lover nf hi* k 1 n fl Wi* rpqrt with hnrrnr of the slaughter of the infants in the little town of Hethlehem 1900 years ago, and yet in this Christmas season I of peace and goodwill, infants are being slaughtered in the homes of Chicago because people will not groe as to what is fair in wages. Humanity and justice ought to find someway of ending It without delay. However progressive and good a town may be it can always be im roved. Therefore wluie it* ci>is.en nay be ever so thankful for rim pmtrerg already made they should nevr rest content with past achieveuent or present conditions, but us? verv wise effort to still further advance lr?

Substitution of Wrong Letter in an Advertisement Causes Trouble and Floods a Town. The substitution of a lower-case letter "c" for the letter "o" In an advertisement In the Sioux City, Omaha and local newspapers has caused John C. Trothers, a grain 'merchant of Nellgh, Neb., all kinds of trouble. ! Trothers, wishing to replenish his supply of oats, concluded to advertise. Writing his advertisement on a tvnewrlter. he manifolded it and 'Bent copies to the newspapers as follows: "Wanted ? Delivered on track at i light I o.oio bushels of cats. Will par highest market price." v~i the error he awaited it-MiltS Wbt' P 'Mil* -r*r>n*r [expected. Within <4 wee* wUlO J L all kinds and descriptions commenced to arrive consigned to Trothj ers. Some were sent prepaid and others col 13't. They came from the East, the West, the North and South. The a?ent of the Northwestern roau became alarmed. He was being swamped by cats and wired the superintendent for instructions. Thai official, not knowing what else to do, wired back: "Release all cats not accepted." CHII note nnnf innorl I r? nvrivo a T1 ft still Trothe"s refused to accept the felines, but his troubles did not end there. Mdvs about town ha 1 learned that he was in the market for cats. They com men red to catch the strays and take them to his place of business. ?ome days last week he refused as m^ny as five hundred cat3 brought in by boys and three and four times as many coming by rail. It Is estimated that fully five thousand cats have ben shipped Into Neligh, and Mie end is not yet. They are becoming a nuisance and the city council Is about to take action and order a slaughter of the animals. Why Not Turn This Tide? Under the above caption the Atlanta Journal says during the year just ended one hundred and fifty thousand people of the United States, many of whom are farmers and nearly all of whom come from hardy Teutonic stock, moved across the northwestern border and settled in Canada. They will become citizens of that country, developing its wilderness. enriching Its agriculture and adding to its national strength. One hundred and fifty thousand producers of wealth have left us within a single twelvemonth. The! number is considerably greater than It was in 19 09 an 1, according to the forecast of the Canadian immigration department, it will be greater still at the end of 1911. Such a -ecord is of vital concern to every quarter of the union and particularly so to the south. For it is in this section that these thousands of land-seekers should log>.fly settle. It would he a conserva'ivo estimate to nay that the emlerab>n to n?rnda last year meant a loss ->f one hundred million dollars to oar ovn country. A nation has no as<et more valuable than the man who "orks. l.ahor is of itself a source of community wealth and social welfv?v Kverv fanner that moves from a conntrv, not overcrowded, is a loss 'o that coontrv. An 1 he !s likewise n gain to land whither he roes. Had the tide of *mi?rat on from the northwest hen southward instead of toward Canada our who'e union would he richer today and our own section would be Incalculably so. The south nej ler desires nor needs that *ort of immkrat'on which lows in from the mwk piles of the Old World, hut slm should welcome the men whose veins vold the blood of her orn forbears and whoso hottest Industry would add to the wealth of her harvest.?. The Immigration department of Canada Is carrying on a vigorous, systematic campaign to secure sot lo^s from our northwestern states. Herein lies a truly golden suggestion for the south.
