A Commission Brokerage" Office
Proves to Be Merely a Blind
To Garry On An Extensive Deal in Lottery
Tickets-It is Alleged the United States
Mails Were Used Extensively in
Conducting the Business.

WHLKEsBARRE, Pa, March 15.-A
sensation was created in this city
Thursday when Chief of Police Brig
gems and a squad of officers raided the
commission brokerage" Office of John
Wurzberger and the inmates. Wurz-
berger is known all over northeastern
Pennsylvania as the Lottery King of
Luzerne County," his brokerage busi-
ness being merely blind. For the
past ten years he has been selling tick
cts openly, and it is estimated he did
business of over $120, 900 year.
Wurzberger was taken before Mayor
Nickols, and, after hearing, was
fined $50 and held under $500 bail for
court.
The police. when the raid was made,
found several thousand dollars worth

The raid was made at the instance of

that it has proof that the late George

Wur2berger had agents in surrounding

GOLD IN GEORGIA.
Examination of the Geological Survey Re

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Director
Walcott, of the geological survey, has
made his annual report to the secre-
tary of the interior. Tracings have
been made, showing that coal areas
extend from far up in Pennsylvania
through the mountainous region Of the
entire Appalachian basin
An examination of supposed phos-
phate lands in southeastern Tennessee
and northern Georgia and Alabama in
definitely proved the absence of phos-
phate. An examination shows that de-
posts of gold in the south are divided in
to three groups, one in Georgia, trending
in q northerly direction through Dab
lonega. Important expansions in Ala
bama and North Carolina. A third belt
trends n the same direction through
Charlotte, n. c., reaching into South
Carolina, and nearly to the Virginia
line. Surveys show that the iron fields
of the Michagamme district cover
about 200 square miles. The soils OF
Indiana. Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin

Why is it, wonder, that we come
into the world so i'll equipped for its
exploration? 1t seems to me, as look
back upon my youth, writes II. II.
Boyesen, in Lippincott's Magazine,
that, in certain way, my senses were
fresher and keener then than they are
now. And yet they were continually
particularly in the matter Of girls
play the most unwarrantable pranks
on Inc. Some alien fluid, of an intense
and fiery kind, got mixed with them and
made them subject to all sorts of unnc-
countable alterations 1t is notorious
fact that an electric current will make
the most cycollent compass behave in
an irresponsible fashion. And yet,
though the disturbing fluid which made
my compass worthless was nearly always
there, it has guided me, somehow, with
tolerGble safety long distance across
the traclllcSs main. And ! am not by
any means sure that would exchange
it for truer instrument, subject to
fewer alterations. For | take this
very scnsitiveness to electric influences
to be proof of its exceeding fineness
and excellence. Life would be horri-
hly dreary affair if these magnetic cur
rents which make the needle tremble
and swcrvc were bnnished or non-cx-
istcnt. The dull, dead, stupid sanity
which has no sympathy with folly and
no glcam of potential madness is, no

hut cannot forbcar questioning
whether to the soul thus equipped the

old. middlc-agcd though nc was, had to
stuff his ears with wax lest he steer his
ship into the jaws of pcrdition when
the sirens sang so deliciously, and he
did. not exactly cover himself with
glory during his visits to Gree and
Calypso. But what very red blood he
had and how humanity his heart beat in
every one Of his manifold adventures!
He never like his shipmates, became a
swain; and how noble and manly was
his bearing in the presence of the love-
ly NausilSaa!
There is something almost touching
to me in seeing the same sentiment
which stirs my own bosom recorded
thousands of years ago. And, truth to
tell. the man whose pulse is subject to
no irregularities and whose judgment
registers no alterations in the pres
ence of beautiful woman is, in my
opinion, "fit for treasons, stratagems
and spoils."

HAPPY JACK, THE cowsoY.
Cattle Puncber Who Carried No kT-

A Cattle Puncher Who Carried No Rc-
voIveT in His Work on tho Plains.
Happy Jack, the Colorado cowboy,
was KentuclSian by BIRTH" said the
amateur ranch man. ''Kentucky's sons
in the far west are typically very tall
men, good tempered, and Of indomit-
able courage, and Happy Jack was no
exception. Many were the stories told
about the ranches of his great strength,
devil-may ay-carecourage, and quaint say
ings. He was of great height and
breadth of shoulder, thin, sinewy and
active, with pluck equal to every emer-
gency and that cheerful temperament
which found occasion for mirthfulness
in eveTy situation Of life and had given
him his beatifc name among his fell
lows. / first met him at the Horse
Creek ranch, where one night late in
autumn he stopped with his fellows.
They had come up from the south with
a herd of beef cattle which were put
into one of the corralS over night while
their cavalcade was turned out into the
horse pasture.
"Happy Jack was UP next morning
earliest Of all, and, while the rest of
the boys were going TO breakfast, he
had saddled his gray horse, vicious
creature, as 'spready' and as active as
his master, and having led it to the
front of the ranch house was about to
mount The morning was cold and
frosty, and Jack wore over his regula-
ton cowboy equipment an old army
overcoat.
"'Think he'll buck this morning,
Jacl?' said one of the cowboys from the
veranda.
"'Well,' Jack drawled, Il reckon he'll
do about as he's mind to, and he's
generally gotta mind to buck.
"He settled into the saddle, the horse
went up into the air, and for the first
hundred yards his progress was a zig
gag pitching fore and aft like wherry
amoug the breakers. He used every
broncho trick to throw off his rider,
who, with the cape of the old soldiers
overcoat Tapping up to meet the brim
of the broad sombrero, showed an abso-
lutte unconcern as to what performance
the horse might take into his head TO
try. The horse at last discovered that
bucliing was useless and wearisome,
and Happy Jack was soon down in the
pasture rounding up the horses. He
had got them together and driven
them back to the ranch building before
the other boys had eaten their break
fast. That was the kind of a worker
Happy Jack was.
"Everything that Happy Jack did Or
said was done laughingly. He carried
no revolver, but as he adjusted his
saddle equipments before starting
away from the ranch saw that among
the things carefully slowed away in his
cantinas or saddle bags, was long
knife with a shining blade foot long,
and what that hints at when seen in a
Kentuckian's outfit everybody knows.
Happy Jack was philosopher who
was prepared equally for peace or foi
