All OF the bank employees were imme-
diately questioned and it was found at

their posts. At the front OF the bank re-
ceiying deposits was David n. Runyon.

who claim it was a disgrace to the city.
But now the Trustees announce their in

5000 prohibiting the apparatus from GO
ing outside the city limits and impose a
fine on the Chief of Sl00 to $500 for viola

Firemen announce their intention of
resigning it the ordinance is passed. 1t
is also believed by some that it will lead
to the disbandment of the entire depart

A fireman (who will be elected Chief

would give no bond. but would resign

He DRIFT OF POPULATION
Los Angeles Times. (

The drift OF population during the past
few years has been strongly toward the
cities, while rural populations have
dwIndled. Some economists profess to
see IN this fact menace to the future
prosperity OF the country. The San Jose
Her0Ld takes brighter view 1t says
these economists omit from their lugu-
brious calculations one important factor
the modern electric railway. There are
many reasons for believing that the
electric power is destined to reverse the
tendency Of population toward concen-
tratiOn in the great cities. The time is
evidently not far of when the country as
we'll as the city will be gridironed with
electric roads, which will be used tor
transporting both freight and passengers.
1t is quite possible that in the days to
come life will be made so much more at
tractive in the country than it can be
made in the city that the tendency
toward concentration will be reversed.

FISH AND SLICKESS.
MarysYille Democrnt.l


Thirty years ago fish in the lakes and
streams OF this vicinity were very plenti-

the rock bass or perch. The fouling of

and the levee system along the river has

The annual report OF the Interstate

things it were well the people who are

roads should know. 1t gives the mileage
owned by Governments, and rates
charged for service. 1t is interesting to
notice that the comparison shows that
frst-class passenger rates are lower in
this country than where the Government
owns the lines; in fact, it is lower than in
any foreign country except Norway and
Canada. German second-class tares are
about the same as American tirst-cIass.
OF course the third-class fares in a num-

Tho Redheaded Girl Is Discouraged ~
Trying to Teach Her Things.
That redheaded girl on Baynes street
lately undertook to teach the art Of do
nestle service to a Polish maiden who
had been plucked green in the wilder
ness Of Shumway street. The new girl
was willing, but ignorant even of the
English language. Instruction had to
be impaired by object lessons. The first
lesson was in lighting the gas. The
kitchen treasure was ted by her new
mistress that she was to turn the stop
cock and then apply q match to the end
of the pipe. She seemed to comprehend.
The next day the redheaded girl was
attracted by a vile smell issuing from
the kitchen. On investigation the Pol
ish exile was found standing beside the
cold water faucet, patiently lighting
matches and holding them under the
stream Of water, which she had turned
on, only to see them Immediately ex-
tinguished, leaving an odor Of charred
wood behind.
In the course of "a year or two the red
headed girl hopes to be able to impress
ON the Ruthenian mind the fact that all
general principles are subject to modif-
cation in practice, and particularly that
all iron pipes do not burst into flame
