Postmasters In Carolina Warned to Look Oat For ihieres. Charlotte, N. 0., Dec. 30.—The gov ernment secret service has just issued a warning to North Carolina postmasters against postoffice robbers. For some time past an organized gang has been working in this sute. In the three principal robberies the methods were identical. Each postoffice was at the eqd of a branch line of railroad; in each case the postoffice safe door was blown off its hinge* with dynamite and in each instance the telegraph wires were tampered with to prevent detection. All of the robberies were carefully planned, and .entirely successful. The ' first robbery was at Taylorsville, where several huudred dollars in cash and stamps was secured, the second al Mocksville, where the robber, made a rich haul, and the third at Leaksville, where they secured a considerable sum. Besides these there have been half a dozen other postal robberies in the state, and several safe robberies that are laid at the doors of the same gang. The gang is thought to consist of five expert robbers, an old man being the advance agent and planning the games. One of the hanger-on of the gang was placed in jail at Wiuston during the to bacco fire and made a partial confession to a government detective, but the rob bers are sharp and have baffled the gov ernment agents Bow to ba Besntifnl - To be beautiful, you must have pure qlood and good health.

Washington, Dec. 30.—The senati and house committees on public landi and on territories are at work on legis lation for Alaska preparing the way fol action by the two houses. The mattei has been talked over in committee and there will be some decisive action shortly after the holiday recess. The chiei problem is to provide for a better gov ernment. Secretary Bliss recommendi in his annual report that Alaska b< made a regular organized territory. Th* sentiment of the committee is that th* time is not yet ripe, that the population, practically dependent on the rich' mid ing strikes, is a roving one and-that even towns having a large population today may be abandoned tomorrow. It is probable that there will be som* enlargement of its present government as preferable to a general system of local legislation and territorial organization. The jurisdiction of federal official* there may be extended and their num ber increased. This is to be a tem porary bridging over x>t the problem until the tr nsitory feature of the pop ulation is largely eliminated. As to the extension, in toto, of the general land taws, the sentiment now i* that the Lacey bill, providing for this, is toe sweeping. The right of way act for railways, etc., carried by the Lacey bilk, is likely to be modified, while there will be some special legislation for the pro tection of timber. The homestead laws will be extended. Mineral and townsite laws already are in force. A prime difficulty is the ab sence of sn veys and it is said that iu all probability there are some portion* of Alaska that never will be surveyed. This interferes with the operation q the public land law extension. Ht Will Surprise You.

Nashville, Dec. 80.—Governor Tay (or has issued a call for an extra session of the Tennessee legislature to meet Jan. 17, to consider several questions re quiring immediate legislation.
