How to stop the postofflce robberies that have been going on In this city for the past three weeks. Is the problem that Is causing the utmost worrlment to Postmaster Moomaw, police, sheriff and detec tives. Yesterday when It was thought that the person who had been doing the most of the work of robbing the boxes, had been located, the authori ties were resting somewhat easier hoping that the thefts would cease, but again this morning another quan tity of letters was found in the rear of the Standard Furniture company's store which had been taken from the office sometime yesterday, ' and now the troubles of the authorities have Increased. These letters belonged to the Indi ana Mine, and all had been opened, their contents inspected, and If any thing of value was In them It had been taken. Suspicion which has heretofore been directed toward a number of small boys, are now being turned away. It is not thought that any youths could commit these robberies with such skill. A sharp watch has been main tained over the office, and no one has been detected. There Is now hardly any doubt but that some older person Is at the head of tho thefts, but who the person Is, Is the puzzle. Postmaster Moomaw warns everybody having a postofflce box to be sure and lock It provided he wants all his mall. ARMY FXDEROFFICERED. Chaffer. Recommends legislation A boot Deserters.

THE ENGINEERS BROTHERHOOD WILL BE HEtXIGNIZED HERE-AFTER. The Company Capitulates to tlte Vnkm After a Twency-Year Holding Out Against It, Dating From the Great Strike of 1885-6, and Signs a New Wage Scale With a Committee Rev rrMcntlng the Brotherhood of Engi neers Company's Management Call the Exclusion Off. Chicago, Nov. 18. The management of the Burlington railroad, after 20 yeara of opposition, has recognized the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi neers, and has signed the first wage scule with that organization since the great strike of the engineers In 1885. Heretofore ull wage schedules for the engineers on the Burlington have been promulgated over the signatures of the railroad's managers, the Brother hood having no option in the matter of acceptance. This time the schedule was signed by the officers and by the members of the general committee of the brotherhood, after a throe weeks' conference. The hostility of the Burlington road to the Brotherhood was the result of the engineers' strike of 1885-6, when 400 men deserted their engines. Paul Morton, then In the Burlington's ser vice, hud charge of the strike for the railroad, and won the most stubborn battle in the history of the Brother hood . Several months ago word was sent forth that the engineers employed by the Burlington could openly Join the Brotherhood If they so desired. Since that limp fully 70 per cent of them have become members of the organi zation. PI BE AT SAI.l'BRI A. Idnlio Town Snld to Do lrnellcally Ie strayed. Siiluhtia, Idaho, Nov. 18.

Of All 4'ases of lroven or Possible ContugtoiiH Disease. In speaking this morning of the diphtheria situution. Dr. W. O. Cole, city physician, called attention to sec tion 11 of ordinance 252, which re quires that a written notice be given the city physician of any illness In which there is any reason for believing thut the trouble may be contagious. This action Is required of every house holder, and it is also suggested that neighbors make reports of sickness In their community should the same not have been done by the family In which it exists. According to Dr. Cole, it Is evident that the 'present cases of diphtheria have been caused through mild cases of the disease being allowed to go without quarantine. Many recent cases of throat trouble among children are believed to have been mild dlph thclrla, but as such was not known, the children were allowed to be about us usual, thus exposing others. Consequently,, the doctor wishes to exercise strict watch over all cases of such nature, even if of a mild form. In .order thut the disease muy be stamped out. In the opinion of Dr. Cole there Is no necessity for children remaining out of school through tho fear of diphtheria except In the case of those who have a predisposition toward throat trouble. In fact, he believes that In the majority of cases children ure really safer attending school than they would be remaining out, as the sanitary conditions of the buildings ure good, and all precautions are be ing taken to guard against a spread uf the epidemic.

They Repeatedly Decided Tliat IJqnor May He Legally Introduced Cpon Allotted Indian I.andH Secretary Hitchcock's Sympathies and Influ ence Obviously In Favor of Shutting the Traffic Away From tite Indians Prohibitory Clause in Itceds Is sued to the Indians. Washington, Nov. IS. The inter ior department today Is in receipt of a letter from the Ynklma Indian agent, which states that United States Judgts Whltson and Hauford both hold that liquor may be introduced on allotted Indian lands without conflict ing with the law. In view of that fact. Agent Lynch writes that further arrests of bootleggers seems a waste of time. The agent at present is inserting an anti-liquor clause In all deeds issu ing to Indians, thus following Secre tary Hitchcock's latest Instructions. While this cluuse insists that no whis key shall be sold or introduced on the particular tract covered by the deed. It is conceded by Lynch that this will have little effect, for the reason that the court's decision declaring the sale and Introduction on all allotted Indian land Is not a violation of the law. Agent Lynch has been ordered to proceed against all bootleggers and make their cases a matter of record in the hope that the supreme court. which will be asked to hand down an opinion In the Heft case, will sustain the department.
