TIPSTERS SUPERVISED BY UNCLE SAM
That race track gambling is not only recognized by the United States government is a contention which is apt to be challenged wherever made. Especially would the very idea be scouted as preposterous in communities where the local authorities have promptly and successfully put their feet down on any attempt at bookmaking in public, even between individuals.
Yet that Uncle Sam recognizes the gambling instinct as one of the potent factors in the success of racing between thoroughbreds is, according to an eminent legal authority, amply shown in the fact that the protection of gamblers is one of the duties of the postoffice department.
While the occasional visitor to the race course who may admit having backed his own or one else's judgment with real money is apt to resent the assertion that he is a gambler, the term can hardly be regarded as harsh or uncalled for when applied those who from a range of information from the numerous tippers, who offer as an excuse for charging for their advice the statement that they are or have been owners, trainers, jockeys, clockers, etc.
Do you know that "Old Bill Jones, expert clocker;" "Former Jockey Smith," "William Brown, the man with the old sombrero," and the rest of the tipsters, who charge from $1 a week to $20 a day for information regarding "bottled-up sleepers" are compelled to file their selections with a postoffice inspector long before the races in which their so-called "good things" are called? /
This is one of the methods by which Uncle Sam safeguards plunger and plucker, "student" and "regular" alike.
Nor does the protection stop here.
The literature that passes between tipster and customer or prospective client often finds its way into the hands of the widenake inspectors.
Many of the tipsters boldly ask that money be sent to them to be played on certain horses on stipulated dates. Nor are they modest in the sums suggested. Commissions of $500 and even more are sometimes asked and occasionally farwarded.
Unless the would-be commissioner is known to be reliable and as honest as betting commissioners can be he is apt to find his communication ignored.
If Uncle Sam gets hold of one of these send-me-the-money-you-can-spare" circulars a stop order is immediately issued, and this is invariably followed by a permanent fraud order.
When Special Inspector Leland came to New York last winter he made no sense of this intentions certain tipsters who were reported to have exhausted the patients of some of their clients by methods which were beyond the pale of the law.
Mel. Leland determined that no tipster should be allowed to make any false statements regarding his resources, his methods, or his attainments. The end tipsters were invited to send their daily selections to his office for comparison with any subsequent claims that might be made.

THE APPEAL.
Hermis and Commando. They ought to finish second and third at that. Mr. Lelaid couldn't quite place "Old Bill Jones" either as an owner, a trainer or a jockey.
He had heard of the Belmonts and Lorillards and the Keenes among owners, of the "Jimmy" Rows, the "Jock" Joyners and the "Jimmy" McCormickens among trainers, and he knew of the achievements of "Snapper" Garrison, "Dare Devil" Fitzpatrick and other jockes of other days.
But somehow the inspector failed to recall any notable achievements of "Old Bill Jones."
So Mr. Lelaid sent for "Old Bill." "Old Bill" proved to be a mild-mannered youth of perhaps twenty-three years of age.
The inspector was amused rather than astonished. He had met a few tippers.
"Are you Mr. Jones?"
"Yes sir," promptly admitted the young man.
"Old Bill Jones?"
"Yes, sir," rather dubious
"Old Reliable Bill, eh?"
The youth smiled rather weakly. He didn't like the way the inspector drawed out the words, "Old Reliable Bill."
"Are these your own selections?" continued the inspector.
"Yes, sir."
"You have no secretary to write chronicles for you or anything of that sort."
"No, sir."
"Well, then, Mr. Jones, I'll have to put you out of business for starting in the racing game too early in life. No matter how many winners you may
have given, you have been doing business under the false pretence that you could give clients the benefit of twenty-five years' experience in three departments of racing."
"Then among tippers my number is 25?" asked "Mr. Jones."
"Exactly so."
During the winter meeting at New Orleans a tippler who has operated under various names boldly and unblushingly declared he proposed to "hx" a race, with the understanding that all who wished to profit by any advance information must pay $50 for it.
Just how many clients responded to the "hurry call" forscriptions of $10 each is not a matter of public record, but that the horse won is a fact which many poolroom proprietors can testify to their sorrow.
In investigating the methods of modern tipplers who have flourished during the last few years the postoffice authorities have discovered that a large of them have really spent fabulous sums for information. Clockers, whose business it is to time the early morning workouts of horses in preparation, have received as high as $100 a week for their services.
Nor does their recompense end there. If a clocker gives information regarding a horse whose true condition or form is unknown to the general public, and that horse wins at odds, of 20 to 1, after being sent out as a "good thing," the tippler is expected to put an extra hundred dollar bill at least in the clocker's envelope.
An outbreak of anthrax has spread death among the government elephants in Katha district, says the Rangoon correspondent of the London Express.
Nearly 250 elephants, most of them highly trained and very valuable, died within a few days of the outbreak, the loss being over £50,000, pounds.

"THE GIANT'S SADDLE"—GRAY'S AND TORREY'S PEAKS FROM THE HIGHEST RAIL
There is a dizzy thrilling time in store for the individual who travels over the new Argentine Central railroad, which has just been completed in Colorado, and which climbs up one of the shoulders of Gray's Peak until it reaches the appalling altitude of 14,007 feet above the sea level.
Aside from a railroad in South America, which crosses an Andean pass some 500 feet higher than the end of the Argentine Central, this Colorado road is the highest actual railroad in the world. It is nearly as high as the world-famous cog road up Pike's Peak, and is more than 400 feet higher than the celebrated Jungfrau railroad in Switzerland, which is the marvel of European engineers. Gray's Peak, whose grim top this new railroad comes within 200 feet of scaling, is higher than Pike's Peak, and is one of the mightiest mountains on this continent. Adjoining Gray's Peak is Torrey's. These giant peaks, of exactly the same height, are connected by a slightly depressed ridge, making a great saddle, and the sight of these mighty twins of the range, streaked with huge banks of eternal snow, is alone worth the journey to the end of the new railroad.
This new railroad to Cloondland is the result of the foresight and pluck of one man, E. J. Wilcox, one of Denver's successful mining magnates. Six years ago Mr. Wilcox began buying up and developing mining properties in the Gray's Peak region. Soon he controlled a large number of properties under the names of the Waldorf and Manhattan groups. The problem of transporting ore was a serious one, and Mr. Wilcox began to figure on a railroad, connecting with the Colorado & Southern at Silver Plume, fifteen miles away. It is at Silver Plume that the Colorado & Southern makes the celebrated Georgetown loop, which will always be regarded as one of the greatest feats of engineering in the world. Silver Plume is at the bottom of a canyon, the mountains rising, almost sheer, to a tremendous height.
In order to make this first dizzy ascent out of Silver Plume, Mr. Wilcox

After a pull of several miles, up stiff grades, the train reaches the Commonwealth Tunnel, one of the Waldorf properties, near timber line. Here the crowning difficulties of high travel begin.

Curious Ways of Wild Bees.
There are about 5,000 species of the their own. Among them is a species whose females are veritable amazon and carry more and better weapons than the males. These are the "Cuckoo" bees, who deposit their eggs in the nest of others, the progeny of both living peacefully together until maturity, when they separate. Then there is the tailoring bee, who cuts leaves with his scissorlike jaws and fits a snug lining of the leaf material into his cave-shaped nest.
grade, and the last ascent has begun.
This means that the train climbs eight feet out of every hundred it advances. In fact the entire road, from Silver Plume to the mountain top, averages a six per cent grade, which is so smooth litherto unheard of in railways. The train is the only rail which are so numerous as to leave the impression that there is not a straight rail in the entire railroad, average 20 degrees.
Soon the train is above timber line

and a veritable sea of peaks burst upon the vision of the beholder. Far to the north can be seen the mountains in the adjacent State of Wyoming, while to the west can be made out the Gore range, well toward the Utah line. If the day is clear a bright yellow streak can be discerned between the uttermost peaks fifty miles to the east. That streak is the vast plain east of the Rockies, and some days the smoke of busy Denver can be discerned. As many as 176 snow-capped peaks have been counted from the end of the Argentine Central road, to say nothing of the numberless other peaks above timber line.
The bald side of the mountain has been honeycombed with mine tunnels and shafts. Some of the properties and in the "prospect" stage, while others are rising as high as $500 per day. Through the mine dumps the train threads its way, and soon the last switchback has been made and the last grade climbed.
So quickly has the last ascent been made that the traveler hardly realizes that he is 14,000 feet above sea level. But as soon as he takes a few steps along the side of the mountain he falls out. His breath comes in sobbing gasps, his knees grow weak, and his beats as if it would leap from his stop and rest every few feet. Even old and experienced mountaineers cannot climb long without stopping to breathe at such a tremendous altitude.
Mistaken Alma.
"Your alms are all wrong," said the political economist.
"You must be right on that point," said the anarchist. "It is mortifying to see how few of our bomb throwers hit the right person."
The rose is the emblem of secrecy in Greece, and was formerly hung over the table where guests were entertained in token that nothing heard there was to be repeated. Hence the expression "subross."
GOOD-BY, MOSQUITO
ELECTRICITY TO AID IN RIDDING
WORLD OF PEST.
Frenchman Confident That by the Use of His Device Mankind Will Live and Sleep Easier.
At last the mosquito has its match. A Frenchman has invented an electrical machine that will kill mosquitoes faster than a 40,000 horsepower dynamo could breed them. This electrical mosquito killer is a genuine device.
In a description of it the European edition of the New York Herald says: "M. Maurice Chaulin has declared war not only on mosquitoes, but on gnats and蚊子. Up to the present, says M. Max de Neuville, a French scientist causierie in the Tempus, humanity has been forced to hold these plagues at bay by means of clouds of tobacco smoke or by mosquito nets. Another means of capturing them was to smear a lighted lantern with a mixture of wine and honey.
"M. Chaulin wants to replace this by electrocution, thanks to an apparatus which he has invented and patented.
"A sort of cylindrical lantern is constructed by two rings suspended one about another and connected by parallel and parallel chains. These are connected with a source of electricity which may be either the current which provides the light or furnished by a little accumulation in such a fashion
that each of the chains is always 'live.'
"In the center is a lamp, either electric or other. This light attracts the mosquitoes, which begin to buzz around the lamp and come in contact with the chains. The moment the insect touches two at once with its long legs it establishes a short circuit and is immediately electrocuted.
"If this apparatus is installed in a bedroom it has only to be lighted a short time before the owner retires to rest to insure a quiet night's sleep."
HANDS FREE FOR WORK.
Labor-Saving Cradle Devised by Britt
Ish Columbia Indians.
Domestic labor-saving machines are generally regarded as exclusively the outcome of science and civilization.
Nevertheless the Indians of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, have devised an ingenious appliance for rocking the cradles of their infants.
The cradle is suspended by cords from the projecting branch of a small tree, while a third cord carried from the end of the branch is attached to the mother's foot. She thus enabled to swing her offspring, her hands being left free for other work.
Our illustration depicts an Indian mother pursuing her double occupation. The tree, it will be noticed, has been cut and shaped for the purpose to which it is put—London Answers.
Big Bear Drowned.
An unusual tragedy occurred in Trout Run, a tributary of Fine Creek, a few dags ago, by which a black bear lost his life, having been drowned.
A woodsman found the body of a large bear weighing several hundred pounds in stream plumed against a log. From the log, the bear body lay it was evident that the bear tried to cross the stream on the slippery log and fell into the current, which was strong as the result of hard rains. He became entangled in some underbrush. There was evidence of a hard struggle, the log showing places where the bear had scratched it trying to get to a hill to pull himself out of the stream—Lock Haven Express.
Brakes Used by Tyrolean.
They have an easy, if somewhat primitive method of braking their carriages in Tyrol, where the mountain roads are very steep. It consists simply of removing the hind wheels when sharp grade is met with. Although one receives something of a loothing the sense of safety makes up for that inconvenience. The ordinary brake would scarecely hold, and one would have to stop the car having the cart run away with the horse plunging over the high banks with the ordinary method.

Among the latest news items from

“Moscow, Oct.—Tens of thousands
of copies of the Vieche, a Black Hun-
dred paper. containing the most. pro:
voeative articles against the Jews and
revolutionists, are being distributed
gratis in the strects.”
‘The Russian method of stirring up
rece prejudice 1s identical In principle
with that of our own country, but is
much less effective: To distribute ctr
culars in the streets of one city is re
strleting the desired effect to a very

better plan over here to get our work

have suggested to Ex-Rey t—d—that it
is a good time for him to make a tour
in the South with his Clansmen, not-
withstanding the fact that several
large cities of the South have prohibt
ted its production in thelr limits, To
this plan, the Washington Post ser
ously objects, and gives the following
very truthful sketch of the play:
“Essentially, It belongs in the class
of cheap thrillers—the kind that make
the peanut galleries howl and cover
nursemalds with ecstatic gooseflesh.
Ordinarily, it would be dismissed by
enlightened persons with a contemp:
tous shrag and relegated to the limbo
of vulgar rigmarole. “But to take it on
& Southern tour at this time, to play
upon the passfons of the mob, to stim:
ulate violence, and to feed the flames
cf hatred and revenze—that will be
to perpetrate the most perilous assault
imaginable upon civilized society.”
A writer In the New York Independ.
ent, commenting ‘on the. successful
ovekation of banks by Afro-Americans
in certain Southern towns, calls atten-
tion to the fact that, whereas it was
the habit, about forty years ago in
Mississippi, for white people to use
slaves as’ security when borrowing
money from a bank, at the present
time in Mississippi this property
which was pnee used as security Is
now itself engaged in the banking
business. It is by such contrasts as
this that the marvelous progress. of

are curious, deep baskets of bamboo,

like the winter kome of a circus,

Wooden frames, not over an inch in

GUNNERY OF BRITISH NAVY.
Officers of the Flagship Edward VII:
Make Remarkable Records.
British naval squadrons in all parts
of the world have recently been busy
with thelr annual gunnery compett-
tions. The channel squadron held its
competition at Portsmouth, the Med:
iterranean squadron at Malta, In the
preliminary practice of the Atlantic
squadron, under Sir W..H. May, Petty
Officer Giles of the flagship King Ed:
word VII. made a world's record by
securing eleven hits out of eleven
rounds from a six-inch rapid-firer (100.
pound projectile) in ‘a single minute,
In the regulation ren of six minutes
past the ordinary service target,
which was about 7,600 yards distant
from the’ship, the gun crews of the
twelve-inch weapons fired fourteen
projectiles of 850 pounds and all ex
cept one hit the target, a percentage
of nearly 93, Thirty-three projectiles
were discharged from the nine and a
half Inch weapons, and thirty of these
found their billet, equivalent to over
90 per cent, while from the six-inch
Buns 101 rounds were fired and eighty:
seven cf these were hits, a percentage
of about 87.
‘These records have never been
equaled in any lest and redound great
ly fo the credit of the officers and the

work and persistent practice. Bighty-
eight per’ cent of the rounds from
all natures of guns on the King Ed.

Mrs, Thomas Lynch was picking let-

street, Union Hill, N, J., when the re-
markable storm descended on Sunday
afternoon. She went to her gate with
a glass dish-in her bend.”
Just then lightning struck so close
by that her hend, touching the gate,
felt the shock. She found that her
fingers clasped the dish so tightly
that she could not put it down, Af
ter some hours a feeling of numbness
left her arm, her hand lost its cramp,
and she could loose her hold on the
dish.
Next morning the arm became black
and swollen, On it, between the shoul-
der and elbow, pale figures began to
appear. Finally they showed plainly
printed on the skin a picture of a bird
resembling a pheasant, a picture of a
snake, and characters like the Chinesa
inscriptions on boxes of tes

PROPOSED Amendments TO THE Constitution OF MINNESOTA
Hon. Peter E. Hanson.
As required by Section 25 of the constitution, advise you us to the purge and effect of these amendments which have been imposed by the people at the coming election.
FIRST PROPOSED AMENDMENT:
The first proposed amendment is contained in Chapter 168 of the Laws of 1905. By this amendment it is required that the amendment be two (2), three (3), four (4) and seventeen (17) of Article nine (9) of the Constitution (the Inter section being the amendment to said Article nine) be amended in such sections now read as follows:
"Section 2. The legislature shall provide for an annual tax sufficient to devise the state for each year, and whenever it shall happen that such ordinary expense shall exceed the income of any year shall exceed the income of the state for such year, the legislature shall provide for levying a tax for the ensuing income, to pay the deficiency of the preceding year, together with the estimated expense, such continuing year. But no levying a tax or the provisions for the payment of interest or principal of bonds denominated Minnesota effect or be in force until such law shall have been submitted to a vote of the state of the states and adopted by a majority of the states of the state voting upon the same.
"Section 3. Laws shall be passed taxing bonds, stocks, joint stock companies, or otherwise, also all real and personal income in money; but public burying grounds in school houses, public hospitals, academies, colleges, universities, and all seminaries, property used for religious purposes, and houses of worship, institutions of purely property, its property used exclusively for any public personal property to an amount not exceeding in value two hundred dollars for any person, in any general laws, be exempt from taxation.
"Section 4. Laws shall be passed for the management of the property, discounted or purchased, money loaned, other property, effects, or dues of every deed, property, or other property, so that all property employed in banking shall always be subject to a property tax, imposed on the property of individuals.
And to substitute therefor the following:
```markdown
```
a cash valuation; and,
construed the legal effect, modify or repeal
any existing law providing for the taxa-
tion of the gross earnings of railroads."
The purpose and effect of this
amendment would be to greatly en-
large the power of the legislature
to regulate taxation. Section one (1) as it
now stands provides that all taxes
imposed shall be equal—as near as may
be—on all forms of property, and all
necessary taxes annually is required to have a CASH
VALUATION equalized throughout
the state.
Section two as it now stands re-
duces the necessary taxes annually to defray
the expenses of the state. That is
the duty of the legislature without
any constitutional direction.
Section three provides that all real and personal
property, including MONEYS, CREDITS
and INVESTMENTS in BONDS
AND STOCKS, shall be assessed according
to their true value in
Section four as it now stands provides that property employed in banking shall be subject to a equal to that in other property. This is only a repetition of the requirements of Sections one and three, as no rational person would claim that banking capital should be exempt from taxation. In other words, no new stands in not easy to understand, but it was intended by that section to relieve from the operation of sections one and three, above quoted, many amendments, so that a gross earnings tax could be applied thereto instead of direct taxation. Owing to the provisions of section three of the present Constitution, many amendments were from time to time added so as to permit taxes to be imposed on specific kinds of property otherwise than upon a certain amount of property. We have among these exceptions railroad gross earnings taxes; municipal frontage taxes; inheritance taxes; and the gross earnings taxes authorized by said section seventeen.
Several exemptions from taxation are also provided for, but as these exemptions are not changed by the proposed amendment, they make no difference to them. The amendment which, if adopted, would take the place of all of the sections and amendments above referred to, is simple and shall be made necessary to the constitution is necessary to authorize the imposition of the taxes necessary for the support of the state and its various political subdivisions. In inherent in government this proposed amendment declares that this inherent power of taxation shall never be surrendered, suspended, held back or imposed for public purposes and shall be uniform on the same class of subjects. Should this amendment be adopted all property of the state and was uniform on the same class subject to taxation, according to the method the legislature saw fit to adopt, provided only that the tax was levied for a public purpose and was uniform on the same class subject to taxation, according to every tax law we now have on the statute books would continue to be valid, because under this amendment all limitations on the power of legislation would be taken away.
The adoption of this amendment would, as indicated, repeal the so-called inheritance tax amendment, and the gross earnings tax amendment, and the inheritance tax amendment in said section seventeen, but in their place this amendment would give the legislature greater authority. Under this amendment the power to impose inheritance tax would be unlimited, and so gross earnings tax would be valid. The gross earnings tax on railroads would not be affected by this amendment, as the Constitution would not be amended without a vote of the people. But with this amendment various new forms of taxation could be imposed, notably an income tax and a registration tax. In the present Constitution we can impose no tax on mortgages owned by non-residents. A registry tax, which would be valid under this amendment, would reach mortgages owned by non-residents, subject to a requirement to have a cash valuation with the tax equalized throughout the state, no proper income tax could be imposed. Such a tax would be gregressive, which would be valid under this amendment.
SECOND PROPOSED AMENDMENT
The second proposed amendment is contained in Chapter 212 of the Laws of 1905. It is sought by this amendment to repeal Section 16 of Article 9 of the Constitution, which is as follows:
and substitute therefor the following:
"Section 16. For the purpose of lending aid in the construction and improvement of public highways and bridges, there is a statute that requires the State Road and Bridge Fund," said fund, shall include all money accruing from the income derived from investment in the bridge fund, or that may hereafter accrue to said fund, and shall also include all money accruing from the road and bridge fund, however provided.
The legislature is authorized to add to the fund for the purpose of constructing, building and repairing bridges of this state, by providing, in its discretion, for an annual tax levy of $100,000 per mile to exceed in any year one-fourth ($4) of one mill on all taxable property within the state.
"Provided, that no county shall receive in any year more than three (3) per cent or less than one-half ($1) of one (1) per cent of the total tax paid expended during such year; and provided, further, that in no case shall more than one-half ($1) of one (1) per cent of the total tax paid or improving any road or bridge be paid by the state from such fund."
The purpose and object of the amendment is (1st) to eliminate Constitution the requirement that commission shall be appointed to have charge of the expenditure of the road and bridge fund. This legislation to have jurisdiction over the legislature to have jurisdiction over commission or not; (2nd) to in-

crense the tax which can be levied for state road purposes from one-twentieth of a mill to one-fourth of a mill. The legislature may levy a less tax, but can not exceed one-fourth of a mill. The proviso shows how it will be divided among the counties.
THIRD PROPOSED AMENDMENT.
The third proposed amendment to the Constitution is contained in Chapter 283 of the Laws of 1906, and is as follows:
"Section 18. Any person may sell or purchase the products of the farm or garden occupied and owned by him without obtaining a license therefor."
This proposed amendment is intended to be added to Article one (1) of the Constitution, which is known as the "Constitution," will, if adopted, be Section 18 of said Article, leaving all of the Article otherwise as it is at present. The amendment would be effected thereby would be to enable any farmer or gardener to sell the products of the farm or garden, which he occupies and cultivates, to be sold by the state by peddling the same from house to house without taking out a peddler's license. Respectfully, - Edward T. Young. Attorney General. Dated St. Paul, July 1, 1906.
The Plagues of Egypt.
"The start of tuberculosis in France in a serious sense may be traced to the mummy cases at the time of the Napoleon invasion of Egypt, and this start gave the disease its first great foothold in the world, which has spread over the Eastern hemisphere as well. Dead bodies preserved in the manner peculiar to Pharaohs are undoubtedly favorite lodging places for the tubercular bacillus. The mummies are undoubtedly of great interest shown by experiments in Paris that these aged bacillus are infinitely more deadly than those found from live persons who are infected." Writers for the daily press are eager in their suggestions that tuberculosis was the cause of the deaths of the violators of Egyptian tombs are getting a taste of it for their sins. Apparently, however, this and similar inference, as part of Dr. Sorgac's conclusions—Exr.
