For the past year and q half sums oil
money have been missed at various
times from the Office OF the Waitsburg
agent Of the Union Pacific, but no clue
could be had Of the thief. A few days
ago some money was taken and In con-
sequence watch was set on the Office.
Last Wednesday Conductor Ed. Gallup,
Of the Day ton- Bodies Junction branch,
than whom there 10 none more liked and
trusted on the Union Pacific, went into
tho Office while Agent Bonsall was busy
on the outside, aud noticing the safe and
money drawer open concluded he would
play joke on the agent, with whom be
was well acquainted, and took t1l In cash
and thrust it in his pocket, intending Ia
return it after Bonsall had discovered the
loss. The Waterman, however, saw the
operation and promptly proceeded to
place Gallup under arrest. OF course he
explained his motive in taking the money
and was allowed to 20 on his run, u
thinking that everything vas satisfac.
tory, but the next morning on his arr.
val in Waitsburg he was again placed
under arrest and taken before q justice
and fined $75. He was brought to Walls

friends, none OF whom for . moment
believe him guilty Of any wrong inten.

sary to secure his release. He has ten.
dered his resignation but the company
will make thorough investigation and
II he is found innocent, his Reinstatement
will follow. One point in his favor is the
fact that these pilferings have been go.

ENFORCE THE aEARY LAW.

Portland Oregonian: There are large
numbers OF Chinese laborers who have
not complied with the laws of the United
States employed at this moment in the
states Of Oregon and Washington. The
most conspicuous example perhaps OF
this kind presented 1t this time in the
whole United States may be seen at the
salmon canneries in the states of Oregon
and Washington, ON the lower Columbia
river. Very large bodies of these Chinese
outlaws are at work at these places; and
here, II anywhere, the evils Of the pres.
ence OF Chinese are apparent. Here, II
anywhere. beginning should be made
for enforcement Of the law which tho su.
preme court has just pronounced valid,
and which, therefore, it lie the duty Of the
president to enforce.
That would shut up the
canneries, it is true, and it would throw
out OF employment three thousand white
men, fishermen and others, whose livsli-
hood depends on the salmon pack but it
would vindicate the law. It would auni-
hilate business that aggregates several
millions year; it would limit the opera
tons OF merchants and bankers, and
would cut of q very large share Of the
traffic OF transportation companies in
these states. Would Pennoyer not be
compelled to unite with the fishermen
and the packers and the merchants and
the bankers and the railroad men in their
appeal to the president to stay his hand
Ii the president will act upon this sug-
gestion, he will puncture the wind. bag OF
anti-Chinese agitation l.ere and else
where, and will wresk an adroit and no
bic revenge on Governor Penney or.
Oregon would obtain her reward in in

Cleveland would vindicate himself and

why All Foam 10 White.

The question as tO why all foam is
white is not an easy one to understand,
but the fact is foam is always white,
whatever may be the color Of the bever-
age itself. The froth produced on bot
tie of the blacklist ink is white, and
would be perfectly 60 were it not tinged
to certain extent by particles of the
liquid which the bubbles hold in mechan-
ical suspension. As to the cause of this
wilderness 1t is sufficient to say that it is
due to q large number of rejecting
surfaces which, by rejecting the light,
produce upon our eyes the impression Of
white. II we remember that all bodies
owe their colors to the rays OF light which
they cannot absorb, and all bodies which
reflect all the light they receive, without
absorbing any, appear perfect = white,
we shall be prepared to understand how
the multitude Of rejecting surfaces
formed by the foam. and which do not
absorb any light, must necessarily give
the froth Q white appearance. 1t is for
the Same reason that any very fine pow
der appears white, even the blacklist
marble, when ground to dust, losing
every trace of its original color.
