Rifled Mail Sack Found.*
P. L. Dibble of North Kenova,
Ohio, found a rifled U. S. mail sack
at the edge of the Ohio river ai
what is known as Kelley’s Ditch,
about noon Monday. The pouch
h*d a long slit in it showing that it
had been cut open with a knife. In
the pouch were letters from Colum
bus, Cincinnati, Washington and
other points (postmarked Friday),
which indicates that at least three
sacks bad been stolen aud the
contents emptied into one. There
were several government pension
vouchers and a large number of do
mestic letters and checks, but no
registered letters. The absence ot
registered mail leads the authorities
to believe that the mail had been
robbed of the registers and the
saek thrown into the Ohio with the
idea that the crime would be cover
ed.
The mail sack and its contents
were turned over to the Ceredo pos
tal authorities and later sent to
W ashington.
It is the general supposition that
the mail was stolen from the Kenova
depot during transfer.

John Smith in Town.
John Smith was in tow n last week
and after delivering fifty gallons of
IOO95, pure buttermilk to h»a on -
loniera, paid tbia office a pleaaani
call, paying hi. subscription a rear
in advance. To a l which the Par
kersburg State Journal will phase
take cognizance
John speut a few moments in our
sanctum eanutoriutn ("we" say
**our” because the chief mogul was
out of town). During bis talk about
Twelve Pole “a rising and log.
a-sbooung out,” John told ua of
some of his recent travels. Since
hia last visit to “our”sanctum, John
has been praciically around the
globe and came back with all kinds
of names booked onto him.
John stood on the banks of the
ttheims and saw the battle at its
height. He baa stfTod on the moun
tain from whose lofty heights Moses
viewed the Promised Land. Our
own John has traversed tho site
around which Jo* hut* and hi. artnv
marched thirteen times, blew their
trumpets and caused the walls of
Jericho to take a tumble.
He has interviewed the principal
rulers and would-be rulers of the
world. While across the pond an
admirer introduced him to a friend
as Johannes Smithus ; and thou up
walked King Immanuel of Italy who
smoothed it off as (-iiovauni Sum hi
King Alfonso of Spain called him
Juan Smithus, while Fighting Bill
William of Germany dined him as
liana Schmidt.
John tquetzed the hand of Presi
dent Poincaire (of France) no hard
that he flattened his name into Jean
Smeets, and Czar Nicholas ol Rus
sia sneezed and barked Joolof Suit,
towski.
While supping tea in the tea mart
at Canton a prominent merchant
recognized him as Jahon Shirntnit.
During his perambulations about
Ml. Ilecla the Icelanders called him
Jabne Smiihou, and after playing
checkers with the Tnsoaroras he
was known as Ton Qa Smiitia.
In passing through Poland a
•cared sentinel challenged him as
Ivan Kchmittiweiski, and a Welsh
hunter sold him a rarebit and (dated
out Jihon Schmidd.
While taking a synopsis view of
ruins, a Grecian sculptor spoke to
him as ’loo Smikton.
Passing along into Turkey John
almost caused a holy war. One of
the inmates of a harem stuck her
veiled face up to the bars and cried
out Yoe S5eel. This set John’s
American blood a-biling. He yank
ed off bis coat, rolled up his sleeves
and dared the pasha and all imps to
come out and face him; told the dir
ty scamps that he allowed no one to
call him a thief. Ambassador Mor
ganthau chanced along and told him
that the woman meant no disrespect
and that translated Yoe Seef
was simply John Smith. This tick
led John’s palate very much and af
ter apologizing to the offended
Turks and Turkeys, he concluded
to leave and set sail tor home.
Like old Robinson Crusoe, John
became shipwrecked, but finally
landed in Mexico. A Greaser sol
dier, who seemed to have the hay
fever, challenged John and appellal
ed him Joniil F’JMitti. This seem
ed to have been the straw that broke
the camel’s hack, for John hot foot
ed it across the Rio Grande and
took a train for home.
Everything was going nicely now
and the conductor had reached for
the signal cord to stop the train at
the Ceredo sta ion when— some one
of authority shook John and asked
what on earth ailed bins. Hia sup
position was that be had eaten too
much cold beef and cabbage for sup
per.
