Jacob Milligan walked into the central po-
lice station at an early hour this morning,
and, with tears n his eyes, told the officers

to him, extracted therefrom a check for $40,
had the check cashed and spent the money
He said his conscience had so troubled him
since his doing wrong that he could not
sand it, and wanted to be locked up. Jailer
Bradley at first thought the man mentally
unbalanced, but inquiry proved that his story
was true, and he was locked up to be held
for the United States authorities.

OF age, and for year has been clerk at the
Winona house on Washington avenue south

The Greater. United States.

The distance across the United States
is found to be 2,625.2 geographical
miles from the lighthouse six miles
north of Cape May, N. j., to the light
house six miles south of Punta
Arenas, following the thirty-ninth
parallel of latitude as closely
as possible. This is conceded to
be about the mean breadth of the
country, A glance at the map will
show that the United States is much
wider toward the north and much mar
rover toward the gulf coast, but the
thirty-ninth parallel is about as fair an
average as can be drawn. The meas
urements were made by riangulation-
that is, by taking observations from
fixed landmarks and verifying them by
astronomical tests. The distance
across the continent thus obtained is
14O feet longer than that reported by
Bessels in 1856, and 9S feet longer than
that reported by Prof. Clark in 1906
