Fighting scalpers
Word comes from Pittsbure that seventy
seven injunctions were issued on October
IL against Pittsburg ticket scalpers on suits
entered BY leading officials of the trunk
lines entering Pittsburg.
The compliments ask that preliminary
injunction shall issue against defendants, to
be made permanent on hearing, on the

Short Line to Mexico
James j. Hagerman of Colorado Springs,
is the authority for the statement that the
Pecos Valley and Northeastern, the prin-
cipal stock of which is controlled by him,
will extend to Bouquillas on the Rio
Grande in Brewster county, to connect with
the Mexican Northern, which is now being
pushed from the south to the same point
as soon as the gap between Roswell, N. NJ,
and Amarillo, Texas, shall have been com
pleted by the construction force of the Pc
cos Valley company. If the Pecos Valley
road connects at Bouquillas with the Mexi-
can Northern the result will be through
route from Chicago and Kansas City to the
City of Mexico several hundred miles short
er than any other.
More Sleeper Rates
Several of the largest railroad companies
in the United States are planning to move
for reduction in sleeping car rates. 1t is
proposed to have the reads in the country
using Pullman cars unite in an appeal to this
company to make a reasonable reduction
in the rates charged for upper and lower
berths in sleeping cars and in the rates for
seats in chair cars. The first move in the
campaign for lower sleeping and chair car
rates will be made, it is said, at the
convention of the American association OF
general passenger and ticket agents now be,
ing held in Detroit. A resolution probably
will be introduced by the general passenger
agent of one of the biggest eastern roads ia
voring a reduction in the present rates, par
ticularly in the price of upper berths.

The Convention Coming
Superintendent of City Schools Foshay
has returned from his northern trip and
seems quite well satisfied that the conveu-
tion of the National Educational associa-

to be sufficient indication, he thinks, that
the Southern Pacific will agree to rate low
enough from the far east to this city to in
sure the committee which has the selection
of the place for the meeting deciding on Los
Angeles. The rate of $75 which was an
nonuced as the ultimatum Of the company
was mistake; they did not feel like stat
ing the figure that would be given, as it
would tend to disturb travel prior to the

She told her parents that she was tired Of
life and wanted to die, and that she had in:
hailed the gas in the hope that it would
hasten her end. While the three doctors
plored them to leave her alone that she
might die, but in spite OF her protest the
physicians continued their work, and within
an hour the girl was out of danger. Her
parents are at loss to account for the
rash act and her secret, whatever it may be,

THE OREGON rs SAFE.
The Great Batt1eship Arrived OFF
Florida Yesterday.

There need be no further solicitude
for the California built battleship Ore
gon. The Spaniards haven't sunk her,
and they are not likely to sink her.
The great iron ship yesterday complet-
ed her remarkable trip of some 1900
miles, and arrived off the coast of Flor
ida.
This good news was received last
evening by Frank Miller, whose son
Cyrus is one of the cadets on board
the Oregon, and who left here only a
few weeks ago full of patriotic ardor
and a desire to have a hand in the war
with Spain. Cadet Miller-who next
month will be an Ensign-telegraphs
his father that the Oregon had arrived
on the Atlantic coast, and that all on
board were safe and well.
The Oregon was in San Francisco
when war was declared only a few
weeks ago, but she has made the Won
derful voyage around Cape Horn and
up the coast Of South America to the
scene of action, a journey more than
1900 miles, before even a move on
Cuba had been made. And this, too,
without accident or untoward incident.
There is, probably, not another bat
tleship in the world that could make
such a journey in the time and with
out accident The Oregon was built at
the Union Iron Works, San Francisco,
and is a credit to her builders.

Have you ever been disappointed in

up the boil fifteen minutes after active

of sloppy, for when it is we'll boiled, you

Insist on having your beverage we'll

be served with it. 1t is just as easy
to have Postum well made as to have it
made in a slovenly manner.
This talk on the preparation of Pos

FIVE YEARS FOR ELLSWORTH
LENIENCY FOR THE PARTNER
OF PEDERAS.
Not a Hardened Criminal-The
Prisoner Breaks Down
Completely.

Deputy Sheriff Schwilk yesterday left
for San Quentin Prison with Edward
Ellsworth, whom Judge Hart had in the
forenoon sentenced to five years i'm
prisonment for burglary.
Ellsworth is not evidently a hardened
criminal. He had fallen in with Frank
Pederas, an ex-convict and thoroughly
depraved man, who led him into raiding
country ranches. stealing chickens, etc.
Pederas was sentenced to fifteen years
Ellsworth at first intended to stand
trial, but finally concluded to plead
guilty and trust to the court to deal
generously with him.
When Ellsworth appeared in court
yesterday the District Attorney said
the mans previous character had been
investigated, and it did not appear that
he was one who preferred to lead a
wayward life. He had once been sent
to jail, but the records of the prison
showed that he had been an exemplary
prisoner. The District Attorney thought
the court would be justified in not i'm
posing a lo1g sentence. c. M. Beckwith,
Ellsworth's counsel, made an appeal for
leniency on behalf of the prisoner.
The court said the remarks of the Dis
trict Attorney and counsel would be
considered in the passing Of sentence.
It was also in the prisoners favor that
he had acknowledged his guilt instead
of going to trial and committing per-
jury. Referring to Pederas, with whom
Ellsworth was associated at the time
of his arrest, Judge Hart said:
This man Pederas, who was jointly
charged with you, was sentenced by the
court to the full extent of the law, which
is fifteen years for that particular Of
Tense. The maximum punishment was
inflicted upon him because in the judg
ment of this court he was an incorr-
gible and a man of criminal inclina-
tions, he already having served a term
in the State Prison.
I'm your case 1 shall not impose the
full penalty, as the court does not think
that you are past reformation, and you
perhaps will, after your term expires,
become an honest man again. It is the
Judgment of the court that you be con-
fined in the State Prison at San Quen-
tin for the term of five years"
While the Judge was delivering these
words Ellsworth, who was evidently
overcome with shame and remorse,
broke down completely and wept and
sobbed like a child. All present in the
courtroom at the time felt the utmost
sympathy for the prisoner.
In a voice broken by his emotion ELS
worth thanked the court for the lenien-
cy shown him, and the District Attor-
ney and his own counsel for the kind
manner in which they had spoken of
