SWITZERLAND IS READY FOR WAR Little Republic Can Mobilize 100,000 Men In a Day. FIRST BIG SCARE SINCE 1870 Massing of Troops by France and Germany a Warning to Alpine Ruler. Every Man Has Weapon and Uniform at Home, and Can Report Promptly at Nearest Barracks. Geneva.—There is a widespread belief in Switzerland that war between France and Germany is inevitable. On her French and German frontiers Switzerland has seen the gradual concentration of large forces of soldiers during the last two months. The frontier forts, especially Befort, and those opposite from Muhhouse to Istein are on a war footing. Since the beginning of the year the Swiss federal authorities have begun to take precautions. All papers have published officially an article stating that in "the event of war" the Swiss in Europe must return to the army at once, while in the second zone of countries, including America and other continents where the Swiss are liable to military service, they must hold themselves in readiness to return. There will be no mobilization in Switzerland, because 100,000 men can PRESIDENT EDWARD MULLER OF SWITZER- LAND. be at their posts in twenty-four hours, 250,000 men in forty-eight hours and 500,000 within a week. Every man and officer of the citizen army has a rifle, ammunition, uniform and everything at home and can answer the general roll call at the nearest barracks within a few hours. Briefly, the Swiss army can give its great and powerful neighbors twenty-four hours' start and still be ready before them. This is the first time since 1870 that the Swiss government has taken matters so seriously. Even the dangerous Agadir incident found it calm and hopeful. Cereals of all kinds which were ordered in America and Canada, because the usual Russian supply had suddenly failed, owing to the Balkan war, are arriving to fill the almost empty government storehouses. Farmers have been warned to have their horses in good condition. Chief surgeons and doctors have received officiates from Berne asking them to state whether they should follow the ambulance in the field or remain at a base hospital in one of the towns. HISTORIC TROWEL FOR STATE. Hammer Also Used at Capitol Corner- stone. Laying Given Governor. Albany. — Governor Suzer was presented by Colonel and Mrs. Gorham Rice of Albany with the trowel and hammer with which, on July 7, 1869, were laid the cornerstone of the state capitol. Colonel Rice's father, William A. Rice, and Mrs. Rice's father, John V. L. Pruyn, were in charge of the ceremonies and retained possession of the tools. We were presented to the governor as representing the people of the state, encased in a handsome mahogany box. Upward of $26,000,000 has been expended on the capitol since 1869. Find $1,000 Nugget. Deadwood, S. D.—What is believed to be the richest piece of quartz ever found in the Black Hills has just been taken out of the Summit mine, near Hill City, which for years has been yielding rich finds of gold from seams and streaks. While working in a drift on the 165 foot level the miners ran across a glittering piece of rock. It weighted four and one-quarter pounds avoidrukups and was found to contain $1,025 in gold. This is said to exceed the richness of even the famous chunks taken from the old Holy Terror, Uncle Sam and other rich mines in the hills. TO HATCH MEN LIKE CHICKS. Scientist Says Baby Factories Will Take the Place of Parents. Boston.—That it is possible to create human life by chemical means and that a! factory is not out of the question for the distant future is asserted by Dr. Martin Kellog Schermhorn of the department of philosophy in Harvard. While speaking before the Metaphalia club he said: "Life is made of the animal and plant world. The whole universe is alive, and all that lives is conscious. "Animals are conscious and gifted with the power of thought and imagination. "Plants are conscious, and Ruskin and Goethe agree they are capable of exercising strategy and forethought. Even Darwin said plants were sensitive, and hence he must have believed they were conscious. "It is obvious that the evolution from so and so to human life is possible. The chemist of the future will labor so that men shall be made in baby factories as chickens are hatched in incubators." FINDS FISHPOND OF NERO. Roman Excavator Discovers Reservoir Under Palace Where Fish Were Bred. Under Palace Where Fish Were Bred. Home—Professor Boni, who is supervising the excavations on the Palatine hill, has made an important archaeo-licca of Beneath the basilica of the Flavian temple, has made narrow stairways, leading to a "piscina," a water reservoir consisting of five large compartments. It is still intact, covered and well preserved by watertight cement. The reservoir dates from the time of Nero, when it was used as a pond for sea fish, with the object of breeding fish for the emperor's table. The chinch of fish were practiced in ancient Rome is attested by Pliny, who refers to a fish called scarns, found between Rhodes and Crete, but bred artificially. PAULINE ON RETIRED LIST. Taft's Cow Goes Back to Her Old Wisconsin Farm. Washington—Pauline Wayne, President Taft's famous Holstein cow, will follow him into retirement March 4. The president called in Senator Isaac Stephenson of Wisconsin, who two years ago took Pauline to the White House, and gave her back to her former owner. Pauline has not been in the best of health in several months. President Taft believes that if she is taken back to Wisconsin and put on Senator Stephenson's farm again her youthful vigor will revil. The senator was glad to recover Pauline, as she had supplied milk to the family of the president for two years, and he thought she would add dignity to his herd. Claim of French Army Officer Paris Says "Tut!" Paris—Commandant Darget of the French army is trying by a further series of experiments to convince the Academy of Medicine of the truth of his theory that the human body sends out a certain kind of X rays by means of which ideas in the mind can be photographed. His idea is that these mental images can be visualized and then transferred to a sensitized photographic plate by merely pressing the plate against the surface of the plate, and then presses the sensitized plate with printed matter, puts the plate in an opaque envelope and then presses it against the body. In this way he is able, he asserts, to develop in a few minutes a negative or positive photographic impression, according as the person is electrically negative or positive. The sum total of Darget's theory is that the human body contains light rays. To this proposition the Academy says "Tut, turt" or words to that effect. Whatever appears on the sensitized plate, the academy argues, is simply the effect of the printer's ink. And the Academy and Berlin to reproduce his experiments in the universities of those cities. Professor Schlift is one of those who have asked to be shown what there is in Darget's X ray notions. JAIL EMPTY TWO YEARS. Pike County, Pa., Evidently Free From All Crime. Philadelphia—Not a single jury trial in nearly two years is the unique record of Pike county, according to Presiding Judge Charles B. Staples of the Pike-Monroe district. "The county jail is empty," said Judge Staples. "There are no cases on the court, and either criminal or civil, and I journey the county seat, every three months to go through the formalities of holding a court where there are no trials."

Kingland has used one bicycle on his route for twelve years and in that time has traveled 75,000 miles, on a distance three dimes around the earth. THE APPEAL. SPIES BALK U. S. CONSUL IN PERU Was Sent to Investigate Rubber District Atrocities. NATIVES DARE NOT TALK. Practical Slavery Exists, According to Stuart J. Fuller, Acting For Government In Isolated Region—No Organized Ill Treatment, but Agents Are Worst Type of Adventurers. Washington.—That a system of espionage upon the part of agents of the Peruvian rubber companies rendered practically futtle the investigations made by Stuart J. Fuller, United States consul, in the Putumayo rubber districts of Peru last summer will be disclosed when his report to the state department is transmitted to congress. Before he even entered the Putumayo region Mr. Fuller found himself burdened with the company of representatives of the rubber companies which hold the concessions for gathering the rubber of that region, but as he is revolving on one of the company's statements he make no objections to their presence. Moreover, when the rubber fields were reached Mr. Fuller discovered that every conversation he attempted PEBUVIAN NATIVE MAKING RUBBER "BISCUITS." to hold with the Indians was listened to by men in the pay of the rubber companies. Seeing the company men present, the Indians refused to talk. Consequently Mr. Fuller was unable to obtain the evidence he sought. Furthermore, not only Mr. Fuller's report, but also other documents being held at the state department for transmission to congress, will show that the Indians, regardless of any atrocities, are being worked by the agents under a system differing very little from slavery. Mr. Fuller's report will show that the rubber of the Putumayu is being gathered in regions where few Indians are present, none but Indians can successfully gather the rubber; that the risks to life in the jungle are so great that the worst kind of adventurers have become practically the only kind of men the companies can get to act as supervisors; that impelled by the great risks they are taking, together with the remoteness from the restraining influences of civilization, these agents have been accustomed to go to almost any lengths to gain greater sums in commissions on the value of the rubber gathered. Mr. Fuller was last year appointed consul at Iquitos, Peru for the special purpose investigating the conditions in Putumayu. In Putumayu the inland port of Peru, 2,700 miles up the Amazon river, and it is one of the chief outlets for rubber from the upper Amazon. Though only a few hundred miles from Lima, the capital of Peru, it is in effect, by virtue of the Andes ranges, thousands of miles from the seat of the Peruvian government. On Aug. 6 Consul Fuller left Iqutos accompanied by G. B. Mitchell, B.F. B. Mitchell, B.F. The investigators got practically no information, as company men followed them throughout their entire journey. They found only two Barbadian negroes left in the Putumayo and were consequently obliged to depend on the natives for information. This course of information was effectually shut off by the esplosion maintained by the men. Whenever the consuls spoke to the Indians through an interpreter, of course, they found that a company man was always at their elbow to listen. The men were all well known to the Indians, who, overawed by their taskmasters, were afraid to speak frankly to the consuls. The conclusion was reached that, while there very probably was not at the moment any serious organized ill treatment of the Indians, the companies were to learn whether investigators were being practiced or not. Upon their return to Iquitos both men set up and signed a joint statement setting forth how the company's agents had made practically fruitless their investigations. Defective Page SAHARA AS FACTORY CENTER. Plan to Use Sun's Heat For Power Practicable, Says J. Astley Cooper, London. - Utilization of the Sahara desert as a center of industrial production is the suggestion made by J. Astley Cooper. It had almost been accepted as a truism, he says, that our coal supplies were giving out, but the Sahara desert received an amount of solar heat every day equivalent to that produced by 6,000,000,000 tons of coal. In this arid region, with the great supplies of products available from the wonderful forest lands nearer to the coast and the country traversed by a network of roads, thought scientific men say that if some economical method could be found to use this lost solar energy—such, for instance, the scheme which was on trial near Cairo—Cairo would be a jungle, why the dreams should not be realized, who saw great districts of the world, now arid and useless on account of the intense heat, given up to the factories of the future. These would be of enormous extent, with glass chambers instead of chimneys and reflectors instead of furnaces, all designed to receive and transmit the daily gift of the sun's heat. WALES A "HOOT MON." Prince Practices on Baggies For Chest Expansion. London.—The Prince of Wales was ordered to practice the Scotch baggies as a means of expanding his chest, which is below the normal for his age and height. The statement that he adopted this weird instrument because of inclination was a polite invention. The captain of the Scotts guards' pipers goes to Oxford once a week to give the prince a lesson. Owing to the extraordinary and terrifying noises made by the learner the college authorities are bestrating themselves to the find the prince for the heir apparent to the throne. His lessons disturb the whole college. Certain irrelevant undergrads got up a band of pipers provided with sixhip toy pipes, with which they paraded the quadrangle, but they were promptly suppressed! DIMPLES AT $26 EACH. Fashionable London Women Submit to Wounds to Enhance Beauty. London—Artificial dimple making is not confined to Paris. Inglues show that it is being done in London too. A well known "beauty specialist" says fashionable women are now having artificial dimples produced on their faces. The cost of making permanent dimples ranges from $26 to $52. The process usually lasts a fortnight. A small cut is made in the skin. The skin then beaded and dressed daily until the end. The most in demand are little depressions near the corner of the mouth, which show themselves when the owner smiles. It is also possible to produce dimples lasting for a few hours. WILSON PLANS FOR IMPORTANT TOURS To Visit Panama and Philippines While President. Washington.—Washington officials expressed interest in a rumor that originated with persons who have seen Governor Wilson lately that the incoming president has already decided on two and possibly more trips out of the United States during his administration. These are to the Panama canal and the Baliaphe islands. The president elect is said to have expressed the intention of visiting Panama after the close of the extra session of congress this year to witness the completion and informal opening of the canal. He also is said to be anxious to make a study of the Filipinos at first hand before endeavoring to have congress grant them freedom. This trip would necessarily be put over until after the election of 2014. He is also understood to be desirous of visiting Alaska some time during his administration. FIND MASTODON SKELETON. Quarry Workers Unearth Bones of Forty Foot Animal. Nashville, Tenn.—Workmen digging thirty feet underground in a quarry six miles from Nashville discovered the skeleton of an animal forty feet long. The teeth and parts of the jawbones were perfectly preserved, but the other bones were so brittle they crumbled at the touch. Professor W. E. Myer, member of the American Geological society, visited the place and said the bones were those of a mastodon which probably lived 100,000 years ago. An examination of the strata leads him to believe there is a cave near by which probably will yield other valuable scientific discoveries. Raises Blue Apples. Chicago—A. C. Wilmerson, brought a crate of blue apples to Chicago from his farm near Mountain Grove. He said he filled the hollow of the tree that grew them with concrete. The result was a tree of blue apples, the first of the kind ever raised, according to the owner. SPAIN SEEKS THE SEPHARDIC JEWS HONORS FOR CHIEF RABBI. King Alfonso Desires to Repair the Injustices Inflicted Upon Them During the Inquisition—Government Would Open Schools In Turkey For Advancement of Commerce. Madrid—Advances showing a strong desire on the part of the Spanish government to attract back to Spain the Sephardic Jews of Turkey, whose ancestors were driven out of Spain centuries ago, were made during a recent visit of the Marqués de Navarrell, the Minister of Constantinople, to the Chofi Rabbi, the Spanish minister expressed to the chief rabbi his regret that M. Naouh had not invoked the protection of the Spanish government for the 70,000 Judges Españos at Salonul is well as that of the British and ambassadors. The marquis added that if the Jews had suffered through the inquisition it should not be forgotten that Spain, too, had suffered heavily from the consequences of the acts committed centuries ago. Official Spain as well as the people, he said, was anx- A SEPHARDIC RABBI BLOWING THE RAMS HORN. ious to repair the great crime of their ancestors, which they felt was the blackest in their history. The chief rabbi replied that he was deeply touched by the action of the minister and that the fresh advances made by him could not fail to produce an excellent impression on the Jews of the east. Before leaving the chief rabbi the Spanish minister invited him to pay a visit in his company to the Spanish cruiser, Rena Regena, which was anchored in the port. M. Nahoum accepted the invitation. As he boarded the vessel the officers and men in full uniform presented arms and ranged themselves around the chief rabbi. The Spanish minister thereupon addressed the men as follows: "I have the honor to introduce to you the leader and esteemed chief of all the Jews in Turkey, your own fellow citizens, whose ancestors were unjustly and cruelly driven from Spain. It is to this venerable chief that the government of his majesty the king, as well as his people, is addressing its desire to repair the injustice of which we feel we are still experiencing the bitter consequences." He added that the occasion was doubtless the first for almost five centuries that the head of the Jews in the east had set foot upon a Spanish warship. The commander of the cruiser entertained the chief rabbi at tea and thereafter conducted him through every part of the vessel. Upon leaving the ship M. Nahoum was honored in the same manner as the Marquis de Nantoullé informed him that he would be pleased if Jewish families would visit the cruiser, for which purpose he placed steam launches at their disposal. The Spanish minister stated that in the event of Salonik's being detached from Turkey his government would regard very favorably the return en bloc of all the Jews in that city who were of Spanish descent. The Spanish government, he stated, was willing to open at its expense Jewish schools in Salonik or the hinterland, where instruction would be given in Spanish, the knowledge of which would allude commercial relations with Spain and all other countries where that language is spoken, and he declared that French or any other foreign language—above all, Hebrews—could be taught in those schools.

Family Feud Separated Lovers, but Dan Cupid Triumphed New York —Mr. and Mr. Alfred Sutphen, bridegroom and bride, sailed from here on a cruise for the West Indies. He is sixty-one, and his wife is fifty-three. Their marriage a few days ago followed an attachment of thirty-five years' standing. The bride was Miss Mary Richards of Lodgepope, Neb. Mr. Sutphen's father and Miss Richards' father were from Nebraska when the young folks fell in love. A feud started between the house of Richards and the house of Sutphen, and all communication between the adjoining ranches was broken off. The lovers were kept apart. A short time later Alfred Sutphen went to California and then to Australia, where he took a big ranch and became a rich man. Sutphen sold out his ranch and he found Nebraska to visit his old home. He found his early sweetheart still true to blm. CHANG WAS HONEST. Aged Chinaman Wouldn't Go Home With $3 of Chin's. San Francisco—Chang Fook, eighty-four years old, before sailing for China gave to Attorney John C. Catlin nine worn half dollars, wrapped in a piece of faded china silk, which he had received and held in trust for fifty-four years. Catlin is commissioned to find Chin Foo and return to him the money which he gave Chang on the frigate Boston in 1858. Chang said he and Chin were cabin boys on the Boston, then commanded by Commodore Perry. While the vessel lay at anchor in Boston harbor, Chang had shore leave, and the money was given him by Chin to buy opium. When returned Chin had been transferred to another vessel, and Chang never new him again. "I can't go back to China with this debt unpaid," said the aged Chinese to Catlin. "You must find Chin and give him the money." THE RICELESS WEDDING. Takes its Place With Sane Fourth and Spug Christmas. New York.-The firecrackerless Fourth and the "spup" Christmas have been joined in their particular hall of fame by the richest wedding. The Rev. Dr. James J. Corrigan, pastor of Our Lady of Sorrows church, Shell road, Corona, N. X., placed the ban on the practice after he had married Ellen Woods and John Gavin. They were about to march down the aisle of the church when Father Corrigan told those assembled that he wanted no throwing of rice or old shoes then or as the couple left the church as the edifice was no place for such demonstration. He said many complaints had been made to the brides who had had their eyes injured by rice. He Could Have Saved Genera Gordon at Khartum. London.—One of the most pictureque characters in Africa is dead. He was Zubel Pasha, at one time an immensely wealthy slave trader and virtually a king in the Sudan. General Gordon selected him as the only man capable of holding the territory, and there is little doubt that had Gordon's advice been followed the tragedy of Khartum would not have occurred. In the last ten years Zubel had been living at Gellil. Zubel Pasha was one of the remarkable men of the nineteenth century. He was quite a central African Napoleon in his day, and he paid for his large conquests with both an Eba and a St. Helena. Before Gordon's arrival in the Sudan Zubel was master of southern Kush and the number of other suitors which he had conquered. Gordon wanted to have him made governor general of the Sudan, and had his counsel been followed there can be no doubt that the maddi's revolt would have been crushed at an early period. But in that case there would have been no British Sudan. England was sufficiently alive to his great influence, however, after the battle of Omdurman, when they brought him from Cairo to help settle the country. He served loyalty, and there is nobody who has had anything to do with the Sudanese administration who has not a kind word for the old gentleman. He was treated rather shabily, for, although the Egyptian government confiscated millions of pounds worth of his property, he was only allowed a pension of £2,000 a year. This was not much on which to keep town houses in Khartum and Omdurman, a huge estate at Gell, a harem of some 200 wives and dependents on a proportionate scale. NOT DEAD; JUST HUNGRY.

WOODWANTS ARMY OF 600,000 As Basis For Drawing Supply of Officers—Proposal to Cut Term of Enrollment to Two Years In Effort to Get Required Number of Privates Would Decrease Murder Rate. Washington—Plans for an army of 600,000 men have been prepared by Major General Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the United States army. General Wood is not in favor of a large standing army, but he points out that because a military of the country was assisted by France; in the war of 1812 even when Great Britain was closely pressed during the Napoleonic wars, the United States narrowly escaped defeat, while the Mexican war only represented a triumph over a far weaker power. Never yet has this country confronted a first class military power, he says. Our tremendous resources of men are now as unavailable and useless as would be rich Alaskan gold mines during a crisis in Wall street. How can we be ready and not become a military nation? he asks. He estimates that 600,000 men must be immediately mobilized, while the utmost force that Photo by American Press Association. MAJOR GENERAL LEONARD WOOD could now be put in the field is 150,000 men. Then General Wood outlines the plan the general staff is of present pushing in congress to supply the national reserve of 450,000 men it deems necessary. It figures that 16,000 officers are first of all required as a nucleus of the reserve. Material for these would be found in the 25,000 students of military schools throughout the country. The general staff first of all has asked congress for legislation authorizing graduates from these schools to be enlisted for one year as second leuteants in the regular army. Thus it hopes to instruct in the officer's duty men enough to fill the reserve's needs. Ten days' service with the army every other year would be the only additional requirement of reserve officers. We provide the 400,000 reserve private officers and the 100,000 officers the general staff proposed to the term of enlistment in the regular army to two years, thus creating a constantly shifting personnel equipped with military knowledge, with the duty of serving the flag in case of war. This scheme would be supplemented by co-operation with the national guard of the different states and supervision of their work by the general staff, while they would be stimulated to larger enlistments than at present. "We have a murder rate about five times as great in this country as that of any of the so called military counties of Europe," says General Wood. "Military service instills regard for law and order, promotes solidarity and patriotism. Wars will always exist until human nature is so changed that they have the power and can get what they need, voluntarily submit disputes to arbitration. That consummation will never be reached."

While driving a herd of cattle he sighted coyotes and gave chase. The horse stumbled, wrenching a leg. Ellis was thrown on his head and rendered unconscious. The coyotes then formed a circle around the helpless awaiting a chance to begin the feast. The horse, on three legs, hobbled round and round his master, holding the coyotes at bay until the situation was noticed by passersby and the rider and steered recue.

Friday of last week was a very unlucky day for a portion of God-forsaken Mississippi. Mrs. John Clifton Williams, white, was found murdered, and, upon information given by two women, one of whom was his cousin, Andrew Williams, an Afro-American, of course, was hanged by a mob. Later it was discovered that the man who had been hanged was absolutely innocent. Then the real murderer, who, it is claimed, confessed his guilt, was burned at the stake in the presence of six hundred persons—presumably of the "superior race." On Sunday Ralph Gregg, one of the leaders of the mob that lynched Williams, was so stung by his conscience that, like Judas Iscariot, he went out and committed suicide. His judgment came a little sooner to him than it did to the rest of his fellow murderers, but lynching will go right on. It has been our contention for many years that half of the Afro-Americans lynched in the South are innocent. Some wiseacre started the report that the four Afro-American regiments were to be eliminated from the United States Army, but the report is denied by Secretary of War Stimson, who says that they were established by law and could not be eliminated without action of Congress.

At the same time the battle power should be so elastic as to PERMIT ITS QUICK EXPANSION TO FULL STRENGTH and, in addition, the formation of new organizations, so that, in conjunction with the militia, we could organize a force of six hundred thousand men and officers to meet the FIRST DEMANDS OF A WAR WITH A FIRST CLASS POWER. This means that we must provide a source from which to draw four hundred and sixty-five thousand instructed men in case of war with a first class power which threatens military occupation of any portion of our territory.

Our Banking System a Panic Breeder By WILLIAM L. DOUGLAS, Former Governor of Massachusetts OURS IS THE ONLY CIVILIZED COUNTRY WHICH SUFFERS FROM MONEY PANICS. OUR BANKING SYSTEM IS A PANIC BREEDER. AND THE BRUNT OF THE VAST MISERY AND HARDSHIP WHICH PANICS BRING FALLS UPON THE WAGE EARNER. IT WAS SO IN 1907. IT HAS BEEN SO IN EVERY PANIC WE HAVE KNOWN. When such a crisis sweeps over the land the banker RECEIVES EARLY WARNING. Under our unscientific scattered reserve system it is imperative that he PROTECT HIS RESERVES. He knows that the time is coming when depositors will be clamoring for cash. So he calls in all outstanding loans he can and selfishly grasps for gold. It is not his fault that, he must do this; it is the FAULT OF THE SYSTEM UNDER WHICH HE CONDUCTS HIS OPERATIONS.

WOULD REGAIN LAND GRANTS Commissioner of Corporations In Report Shows Grasp of the Lumber Industry—Three Railroads Own Area as Large as England—Government Still Has Rich Alaskan Holdings. Washington. The concentration in the hands of a few powerful interests of an enormous percentage of the timberlands of the United States has created a problem so grave, in the judgment of Luther Conant, Jr., commissioner of corporations, that he recommended to President Taft that the existing national forests be increased as far as practicable. This note of warning was sounded by the commissioner in forwarding to the president the full text of part 1 of the bureau of corporation's investigation of the lumber industry made by direction of congress. A summary of this report, showing the extent of concentrated control of timberlands, was sent to the president and published nearly two years ago. In the summary previously published the then commissioner of corporations, Herbert Knox Smith, set forth that the Southern Pacific company is the greatest private holder of timber in the United States, controlling 106,000,000,000 feet; the Weyerhaeuser Timber company, with 96,000,000,000 feet, the second largest, and the Northern Pacific Railway company, with 36,000,000,000 feet, third. The full report declares that the following five interests control in the ag- 1 SECTION OF NATIONAL FOREST IN ALASKA. gregate 102,000,000,000 feet of timber, practically all located in the Pacific northwest: Companies controlled by Charles A. Smith of Minneapolis. Thomas B. Walker of Minneapolis. Concerns in which N. P. Wheeler and W. E. Wheeler of Endeavor, Pa., are the chief stockholders. Companies in which the A. B. Hammond company of New Jersey is the principal interest. The timber interests of the Chicago, Milwaukee and Puget Sound Railway company (subsidiary to the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway company). After enormous sales, the commissioner points out, the Southern Pacific, the Northern Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe owned together 83,500,000 acres of timbered land and nontimbered lands, an area as large as England. The Amalgamated Copper company, Mr. Conant adds, owns over 1,000,000 acres of timbered land and more than 100,000 acres of nontimbered land, all in Montana, and Thomas B. Walker personally owns 760,000 acres in California. The government still owns, exclusive of the forests of Alaska, about one-fifth of the country's total supply of merchantable standing timber. To increase the government's holdings the commissioner urges that the forests of Alaska be included in the reserve, as well as all timbered lands recovered in forfeiture suits. He advises a further searching into the Northern Pacific and other land grants of the past, with the view of instituting additional forfeiture suits if the facts justify the procedure. BILL FOR NATIONAL ANTHEM Levy Wants Law to Boom Our Patriotism. Washington.—A joint resolution to make the "Star Spangled Banner" the official anthem of the United States was introduced by Representative Levy of New York. It also provides—"That whenever the 'Star Spangled Banner' is played on any occasion at any public place where persons belonging to any branch of the government service are present they will stand at attention and all other persons will stand, such positions being retained until the last note of the anthem." To keep a guard upon one's tongue at all times is a good rule to follow. Nothing is more foolish and tactless than the pleasure some people take in "speaking their minds." A man of this kind will say a rude thing for the mere pleasure of saying it when different behavior might have preserved his friends or made his fortune. GALLOWS LUMBER FOR COOPS Hangman's Scaffold Will Serve Less Objectionable Purpose. Reno, Nev—Put in chicken coops is to be the ultimate fate of the lumber used in constructing the gallows on which the first legal execution ever held in the state of Nevada took place. This occurred in the courthouse yard in this city, July 31, 1877. The man hanged was J. W. Rover, who came to Nevada in 1861 from Stockton, Cal. He was convicted of murdering Isaac N. Sharp by striking him over the head with a blunt instrument and then shooting him. The execution was performed by A. K. Lamb, sheriff. The sheer cut the rope which held the trap with a hatchet, and death was almost instantaneous. The gallows has been lying in the woodshed back of the county jail for years. Recently the shed was torn down and the gallows taken to the county hospital, where the lumber will be used in making chicken coops. BABY BY PARCEL POST. Lusty Youngster Just Squeezed Under Eleven Pound Limit Batavia, O.—Vernon O. Lytle, mail carrier on Rural route No. 5 out of this place, is the first man to accept and deliver under parcel post conditions a live baby. The baby, a boy weighing ten and three-quarter pounds, just within the eleven pound weight limit. is the child of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Beagle of near Glen Este. The "package" was well wrapped and ready for "mailing" when the carrier got it. Its measurements reached seventy-one inches, also just within the law, which makes seventy-two inches the limit. Mr. Lytle delivered the "parcel" safely to the address on the card attached, that of its grandmother, Mrs. Louis Beagle, who lives about a mile from its home. The postage was 15 cents, and the "parcel" was insured for $50. FINDS GOLD WHERE TOLD. Directions Left by Man Who Died Sixteen Years Ago. Mayfield, Cal.—"Go to the bald peak and wait until the setting sun casts the shadow of the dead redwood; then dig where the shadow ends." Such were the directions received by Steve Perkins, a woodchopper of the Alpine district. He is now richer by $500, for the money was there in gold. Twenty years ago Perkins saved the life of Nathan Comstock, an eccentric resident of Woodside, and the letter just received was written by Comstock, who died sixteen years ago. While the letter bore no identification other than a bore San Francisco date stamp recently affixed in the postoffice of that city, Perkins believes that it was posted by the executor of Comstock's estate. WARN MINERS OF BAD WEATHER TO Washington.—For the purpose of warning mine operators at times when explosions are likely to occur as a result of atmospheric pressure conditions, the United States weather bureau is notifying the mine owners throughout the country that it will inform them, if they so desire, when extra precautions should be taken. In its circular the weather bureau declares that "when there is a marked fall in atmospheric pressure the chances of mine explosions are greatly increased." Dr. Joseph A. Holmes, director of the United States bureau of mines, expressed the fear that "the warnings themselves may add to the risks and dangers in mines where gases occur in dangerous quantities." Investigations have been going on for the last two years, he said, as to the influence of weather conditions, especially atmospheric pressure as indicated by the barometer, upon the amount of gas in coal mines, but the results obtained to date have not been conclusive. "As to the value of warnings." Dr. Holmes declared, "that will depend upon the way in which they are used. If, as is hoped, they serve to make miners and mine operators more careful when these warnings are issued and not less careful at other times, they may do good in mines where gases occur in dangerous quantities. If, however, they should serve to make miners and operators less careful during the extended intervals between the receipt of such warnings, the warnings may increase the hazards of mining in these coal mines and thus indirectly be the cause of disasters. It should be remembered that a large portion of the mine explosions in the bituminous coal fields are dust explosions, and most of these occur in what are called nongaseous mines. These will hardly be influenced by atmospheric pressure." Professor Edward F. Bowie of the weather bureau, who has studied the questions, said there was no doubt that atmospheric pressure increased or decreased danger of mine explosions, depending on whether the pressure was low or high respectively, and that in England warnings similar to those proposed here had been issued for some years. The bureau's conclusion, he said, had been the result of careful observation, both abroad and in this country. The Tramp's Golf Ball. A tramp and a golfer met on the green. "My good man." said the golfer in anxious tones, "have you seen a golf ball hereabouts? It's my last ball, and if I lose it I shall have to give up my day's game and return to town." The tramp, a villainous looking individual, answered: "No, boss, I ain't seen no golf ball, but I've got one in my pocket that I brought from home what I don't mind sellin' you for a couple of dollars."—New York Times Defective Page Knowles Building.

If there is a one cent postage stamp on your paper, that means that you have not paid your subscription for more a year, and the Government compels us to pay one cent each to send the papers to delinquent subscribers. Now if you are honorable and square you will come and pay what you owe. It certainly does not reflect any credit on you to have us pay one cent on each paper we send to you and for which you have not paid. Is this fair and square?

The New York critics have classed "The Girls from Reno" as a most superior musical comedy entertainment. Furthermore, the management promises that there will be something doing every minute with surprise after surprise. Not alone are the two comedies that will be presented, "Gay Life in St. Paul" and "The Hotel Cabaret", one continual succession of upoarious laughs and novel situations, but also of the most sensational features ever seen in burlesque will be introduced. Amanda Crawford should be mentioned the wonderful dance, each costume being studded with over a thousand mirrors; the beautiful Newport bathing scene, and a correct reproduction of the New York Central railroad, showing a train in actual motion. The book of this successful comedy entertainment is by James Madison, with music and lyrics by William Farrell. Mr. Jack Mason, the David Belasco of musical comedy, was especially engaged to stage, presen- tially and drill the big American beauty, and could not turn out anything but a humorous. Manager Hays, of the Grand Theatre, announces it to appear at his playhouse the week of Feb. 16, with daily matinees, as his big musical attraction of the season.

GIVING THEM A FAIR START Warden of Colorado Penitentiary Says Discharged Prisoners Should Have Some Funds. Tom Tynan, warden of the Colorado penitentiary, believes the released convict should be given money upon his discharge. George Creel, in an article in Success Magazine, quotes him as follows: "And when the prisoner has been reformed—strengthened in body and mind, taught means of livelihood and the habits of industry—what then? Must he go out with nothing in his pockets but his hands? I don't think so. No fair man can think so. "The released convict must have some money; enough at least to tide him over the first few months—to keep him from feeling like a vagrant—to prevent his despair and relapse. I am in favor of a law that will pay the men a certain salary toward the end of the sentence—say $1 a day for the last sixty days. It is my endeavor to have every prisoner go back into the world from the ranch or road—clear eye, brown faced—and heaven knows these fellows earn the money."
