The te lephone at the police statior loud ring early on Wednesday d it was quite evident that trouble of some kind on i 8 nearly always trouble shat telephone rings. An the bars have been closed the e know that it is not a tip- pler that is giving the trouble person has made off with my automobile," said the person on the other end of the line. This i Dr. --- speaking; will you please have your men keep their eyes open for the missing car?" The doctor, then gave the number of the car and a detailed description of the auto. In a very short time all Lthe members of the police force had been tipped off to the fact that the car had been stolen, and had been given the number, etc., etc For an hour or so the policemer on the beats took a good look at every car that came their way. Final ly Constable Earl Jenkins, who was holding down one of the corners on Princess street, regulating traffic, spied a car coming along that looked much to him like the one re consulted the num- bers in his little book, and sure en- ough it was 'the car." A woman was driving the car, but he soon brought it to a standstill. | "This car looks to me like the reported to have been stolen,' ( 'onstable Jenkins to the lady. "Yes, I know it was stolen, but it | was returned," was the lady's T¢ ly. : ; At this Constable *® Jenkins said that he came from Missouri, and al though the lady's statement might be O.K. he would have to make sure, so "fixing" the car so it would not go off in a hurry, the bluecoat hur ried to the nearest telephone, and calling up Dr. ------, in formed him that he had the car he had reported as stolen. "There's a woman running it," said the officer," and -I have the car held up till I make gure about the matter. She says that it was stolen, but that it was returned." "Yes, that's right,"' sald the doc- tor. "The car was brought back The woman who is out with the car now is my wife. Thanks for letting me know about it, however." "That's all right," said the police constable, as the telephone conversa- tion ended, and he set out to give the woman in the car a signal to "move on." It is not known who made off with the car, but it is supposed that some young people took the car to have a "joy ride" around the city. It will be remembered that a short | time ago anpther well-known doctor had his car stolen. On this occasion it was taken by soldiers and deserted at the Outer Station. ter 'Some very ported lost.

A Kingston taxi cab with a party of seven Brockville members of the 156th Battalion came to grief last evening on Kingston bridge about 11.30 through the breaking of an axle. The boys were anxious to get back to Barriefield as they simply had to be there as soon as possible, {and engaged a local taxi to carry | them on, but alas- the Brockville car also stalled on the grade going out of town and the lads hit upon the idea of taking the early moraifig train to Kingston, but owing to the wreck at Mallorytown the train was delayed | here until five o'clock this morning, and the boys spent the night sleep- ing on the train with pleasant dreams of what awaited them when they arrived before the tribunal at camp | this morning. SETTL ING AIR ACCOUNTS. {R. J. Bushell Closing Up Books and Looking Ahead For Next Year. | Robert J. Bushell, the hustling i manager of the Kingston Industrial { Fair, is busy settling up the fair ac- | counts, and is anxious that nll out | standing accounts be presented to | him at once, { Mr. Bushell says that om\gne oc- { casion he issued a cheque for a cer- | tain amount to a man.as prize money, and that this man carried the cheque {around in his pocket for two years before he cashed it. This sort of i business interfered with the settling | up of the books, and Te hopes that every person who has any business to settle up with the fair manage- | ment will do so without delay. ! 'While closing up the books for | this year's fair "R.J." is looking | ahead for attractions next year. WILL BE TAKEN OVERSEAS, { Pre. Campbell Was Remanded Until Battalion Leaves City. Pte.

NO BARS REDUCE POLICE COURT CASES ed Cross year Each Drunks Are Now Certainly an| Unknown Quantity With the Police. The Temperance Act is certainly cutting down business at the police court. There was no session on Thursday morning. All day Wed- nesday the police had a very quiet time, and no person fell into the police nets. The streets of Kingston are now free from drunks. Prohibition is cer- tainly working well here. The police records verify this statement. There has only been one drunk before the court since the Temperance Act went into effect, and he is now on remand, because the magistrate did not con- sider that the'accused had told him a straightforward story as to where he had secured his liquor' There is a grist of cases for the magistrate on Friday, but the offend- ers 'are automobile speeders, who were caught burning up Princess street one day the fair was on. | DATES OF FALL FAIRS.
