SACRAMENTO. July 30.-The re-
ward for Jack Brady, the tram robber,
amounts to abont s12,5OO. There are
a score or more of men who will claim
a portion of the money and many o.
them have already filed their demands
with the railroad and express officials.
Tho officers employed by those com.
panies who engaged in the chase for
the bandit will not be permitted to
take any Of the reward.

son, Wa. A. Johnston, effected Bra
dy's capru.a, with the assistance of
Deputy Sher. Z Nc Donald, had n con.

George Ditzler, manager Of a ranch
near Biggs, and from whom Brady
stole a horse, was in the city yester-
day for the same purpose, and will at

ton OF the money. He notified the

had passed through Biggs and he was
then easily traced to Middle Creek,
Shasta county, where a lively gun
fight took place.

A Liar from L..r,,,,..

A farmer living near Pulaski, Penn
whiie out walking across his farm one
day last winter, shot a partridge, and
on crossing the Shenango where the
bird fell he stopped to pick it up,
when something warm fell upon his
hand. This he found was honey and
on examination discovered that the
bullet from his gun had penetrated a
pee tree after passing through the
partridge. He returned to the house
and secured three large tubs and
two milk pail. all OF which he filed
with honey. While securing the hon
ey he noticed a peculiar movement
OF the tree, which seemed to expand
and subside at intervals. Passing to
the other side a wide seam was dis.
covered and he learned that the tree
wa hollow. From this he succeeded
IN extracting thirty two coons, which
had taken up wintor quarters therein,
the peculiar movement OF the tree
having been caused by the united
breathing of the coons. Nor was this
all OF the remarkable adventures, for
attempting to cross the nver the ice
gave way and he was Obliged To swim
u short distance. When he arrived at
home he had about 40 bass in his
pockets and a few found lodgment in
his boots. +.

From time to time n man will be
found who will not take a home paper

No man is too poor to take his local
newspaper and it If false economy to

take tho place Of your local paper, al.
though some people seem to think
they do. Tho city papers are all right
in their way, but they don't give you
what you are most interested in-your
local and county news. You can not
learn from them when and where
public meetings are to be held, who
are dying and who are marrying, who
are moving in and who are moving
out. court proceedings, who wants to
sell land-in fact hundreds Of itoms

The Man From Maine.

tom Reed OF Maine has not lately
been getting himself so unconscious
ly and innocently before the public
gaze as have some OF his rivals for the
Republican nomination for the presi-
dency, but a biographical sketch OF
him in a recent number OF Home and
Country has an ominous campaign
look. From il we learnthat Mr.. Reed
Is now the most interesting figure in
public life. This is said without dis
paragement OF Harrison, Mckinley or
Allison, who fare all in their way re-
markable men," but the writer as a
friend Of truth, cannot refrain from
pointing out that none OF them poss-
esses tho interest which Mr.. Reed
commands" This appears to lie part
ly in his height and @generousfignre,'
and partly in the shape of his head
The similarity Of that dome Of Thought
to Shakespeare's has, as the friendly
~biographer observes, been often not
ed, but he asserts that he is the first
to point out its still nor striking re.
semblance to Lii Hung Chang" This
seems to make it needless for any of
Mr.. Reeds rivals to angie for either
the literary vote or the Chinese vote.
But his main title to admiration is
his resolute and Independent charac-
ter. he never falters before new
conditions or trifes with responsible
ty.- We infer, therefore, that it must
have been some other Reed whom the
Populists chased into the cloakrooms
in the last congress when they tried
to find out what he really thought
about silver, and whom his honest
money friends in the east have in vain
to pull his Chino Shakes.

Keep. i. . steel. ..,,.

The Constitution of the United
States the original pen.written
Constitution be it remembered-has
been dragged from its place OF con-
cealment in the State Department to
be photographed. 1t has been decid.
ed to send a fac-simile OF it to the At
lanta Exposition. OF course. the At.
lanta Exposition would rather have
had the original. but this could not
be entertained.
The Constitution is kept in a steel
safe in the Library of the State De-
partment. The safe, quite a pretty
affair. l gray and gold, is massiye and
strong. A combination lock protects
its priceless contents, and the combi-
nation is carefully kept by one or two
officials. Yesterday, however, the
steel doors were swung open in order
toallow a reporter to look upon the
sacred pages. No document in the
world has been so fraught with des.
tiny as this very same Constitution.
1t is to day the foundation Of the
, Government. To SEQ it as il came
from the pen OF the engrosser on the
llth day OF September, 1857, il u
sight worth travelling a thousand miles
to witness. 10 =
As is well known, there are in the
State Department two copies of the
Declaration OF Independence-one Of
the official and engrossed document,
and the other the original draft in the
hand writing OF Thomas Jefferson,
with all the erasures and alterations
that were made before the language
was finally agreed upon. In the case
Of the Constitution there is only one
copy-the final engrossment with tho
signatures duly attached. As thus
preserved, it consists Of four large
sheets OF parchment, each twenty.tw
by twenty-eight inches, with the
words written out in the old. fashion.
ed chirography Of a century ago, and
the curious capitalization OF letters
then in vogue. The first three words,
ave the people," are engrossed in
very large black letters, so that they
stand out in bold relief. On the last
page are the signatures OF the depu-
ties from the various States. begin
ming with the familiar autograph OF
George Washington, who signed him
self as president and Deputy from
Virginia" Many OF the names are
closely associated with the early his.
tory OF the Republic - Alexander
Hamilton, Rufus King, Gouveneur
Morris, b. Franklin, Daniel Carroll
and Roger Sherman being among
the number.
The Constitution is a most excel.
lently preserved document. Tho ink
has faded a little, but not sufficient to
detract from legibility or appearance.
The autographs are especially clear.
This might have been the case also
with the Declaration Of Independence,
but it so happened that when a fac
simile OF that paper was attempted in
1924 irreparable harm was done to il
through carelessness and ignorance.
In the case OF the Constitution the
utmost care has been observed, and
no injury has resulted.

Ths Durrnnt rrinI.

SAN Francisco, July 3l.-Theodore
Durrant was this morning taken from
the county Jail in the regular prison
van, instead OF driving in the Sheriff's
buggy as on the previous days of the
trial. This prevented pedestrians
from following, and avoided the gen.
eral notice which the Sheriff has con.
sidered bad for the prisoner.
The new venire Of jurors was on
hand for examination. 4 majority
sought to be excused ON one pretext
or another. After a hard mornings
work, however, two additional Jurors
were secured and sworn to try the
case Nathan Crocker. n broker, and
Nj. X. Dempster, a commission mer-
chant, were the two additional jurors.
This was the best mornings work thus
far. The four jurors thus far OBJ
tanned are considered by the prosecu.
ton ms much above the average in
criminal cases.
The prosecution does not believe
the deposition of Charles II. Clarke.
the travelling salesman. now in Bos-
ton, will aid Durrant much. Should
he return to testify he will be ar
rested, it is said, at the instance OF
his former employers here for frauds.
The police are considering the advis.

and bring him back so that he can be
examined.
