SENATOR GALLINGER
His Record Being Investigated by Civii
 Service Commission

Concord, N. H., July 11.-Representatives of the civil service bureau began sitting here today for the purpose of Investigating charges preferred against Senator Jacob H. Gallinger, of Concord, by former repub- lican Governor Charles A. Bushiel, of La- conia, alleging violations of the civil ser- vice laws during the last campaign in this state The specific charge is that Senator Gallinger, as chairman of the republican state committee, distributed circulars ap- pealing to republican officeholders for con- tributions to the campaign funds. Civil service commissioners J. B. Harlow and Mark S. Brewer who arrived here from Washington last night are in charge of the investigation.
 Senator William E. Chandler was among those present, as party interested, though whether as a prosecutor or otherwise Is somewhat uncertain.
 r. session opened with many promi- nent law experts present. A. B. Carroll of Waraer, and T. D. Clifford who was assist ant secretary of the republican state com mittee during the campaign arrived later The investigation is held to allow the com mlssioners to examine the evidence and to
  tion of the case. If they decide that it does, the United States authorities of the department of justice will be called in
 At the conclusion of tho morning session it was announced by the commissioner that MT. Bushel detailed the circum- stances attending his making complaint to the civil service commission last October and the correspondence between him and the commission.
 Senator Gallinger asked the commission if he was to understand that the real com plainant was Ex-Governor Bushiel or Sena- tor Chandler and was told he might draw his own conclusions.
 Governor Bushiel read a long statement as to his reasons for action in the natter, saying that he was animated by desire to see the civil service laws in which he be- leved. enforced He considered that the lavish use of money in elections was a menace to our national institutions. He was not actuated by any unfriendly feeling towards Senator Gallinger in prosecuting these charges and he had no desire for revenge"
 Senator Chandler desired to malA a statement, but the commissioners in- formed him that he would have an oppor- tunity later in the day.

HOW A DOLL AvERTED A WAR.
Present to Papoose Soothed the Bel
ligerency of an Apache Chief.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Little things often have a potent in
f1uence upon the destinies of ndividu-
ais and nations. A story is told by Mr.
Bourke, now temporarily sojourning
here, Nlt who was in the Arizona cam
paign against the Apaches with Gener-
al Crook. On one occasion the general
was trying to put a band of ApacheS
back on the reserve, but could not
catch them without killing them. tand
that he did not want to do. One day
his men captured a little Indian girl
and took her to the fort. She was
quiet all day, saying not a word, but
her black beads of eyes watched every
thing. When night came, however. she
broke down and sobbed just as any
white child would have done. They
tried in vain to comfort her, and then
Mr.. Bourke had an idea. From the ad-
jutant's wife he borrowed a pretty doll
that belonged to her little daughter
and when the young Apache was made
to understand that it was hers to keep
her sobs ceased and she fell asleep.
When morning came the doll was still
claSped in her arms. She played with
it all day and apparently all thought of
ever getting back to her tribe had left
her.
Several days passed and as no over
lures had ben made by the tribe they
sent her with the doll still in her pos
session, back to her people. Mr.. Bourke
had no idea of the effect his benevolent
act would have upon the Indians. When
the child reached them with the pretty
doll in its chubby hands it made a
great sensation among them, and later
on its mother came back to the post
with it. She was kindly received and
Hospitality treated, and through her the
tribe was soon afterward persuaded 10
move back to the reserve.

At other times the humid passage
makes the heat more oppressive.
"On heavy traffic days at least $50
locomotives, drawing between $500 and
1900 cars, pass through the tunnel. So
many trains require the employees to
be on the jump all the time. A straIg-
er in the tunnel is apt to become alarm
ed, to catch hold of your coat tail and
to urge you to the nearest manhole.'
Upon the average there are from
three to five employees killed OF injur-
ed in the tunnel every year Since
the passage was built ! was informed
that there have been only two train
collisions of any Importance. The
block signal system is claimed to be
as good as any in this country. 1t is
operated by electricity.
The tunnel has small towers. in
which the signalmen pass much of their
time. These towers are as cosy and
as comfortable as the towers one usu-
ally sees on the New York Central line.
The tunnel employees do not have long
hours. They work in three shifts of
eight hours each and receive from $50
to $50 month, according to the duties

that about 800 trains pass through that
tunnel every "A hours you will realize
that the men who work in it must have
their wits about them al the time.
Most of the trains are, of course,
during the daylight hours. If you
should happen to be in the subterra-
mean passage during the early morning
or late afternoon hours, when suburban
trains are plentiful. you will think that
there is train every few seconds.

walls of the tunnel. There is one in

HIS FIRST WIFE WAS BEATEN.
Singular Divorce Case in Which a Chi
Caco WOman Was Inte erested

In a Missouri court recently a rather
novel case came up for decision. Dur
ing the civil war soldier went into
service in Chicago regiment, leaving
a young wife at home. In due time the
news reached him that his bride had
died, and when the war ended he did
not return to his old home, but settled
in Missouri He married again, and
with his second wife accumulated "a
large amount Of property in Platt coun-
ty. Not long ago he learned that his
first wife had not died, but. supposing
him to have been killed, had married
another man. When the man learned
these facts he brought suit for divorce,
and the woman in Chicago heard of it
and went out and fought the case, as
serting a claim to part of her former
husbands property. However, after
the lawyers had made great fight be-
fore him, the judge granted the divorce
and left the man free to marry the
woman who has been living with him
for many years as his wife.

PICTURED HORSES UP TO DATE.
Artists Conceptions of the Noble steed
Not AIMnXs Natural

The artists horse of to-day is an alto
gether different creature from the art
lists horse of a century ago. In years
oona nv his neck was arched. his rump
well rounded and his whole bearing pom
pous and melodramatic. Frequently in
the good old days ne raised one foreleg
like setter dog or reared on both hind
legs after the fashion of a grizzly bear.
But things have changed now, and the
pictorial or marble Steed has altered his
uuondam poses for brisker and more
businesslike attitudes. While the modern
metamorphosis may lack the heroic fea-
lures which formerly characterized our
good old friend, we believe the artistic
horse of the present day is much more
accurate. They say the change is due
almost entirely to the revelations of the
instantaneous camera. This infallible
portrait maker has caught the steed in
action and shown us exactly how he
looks. 1t has also shown us that when
he runs he doubles up like jaSkknife

the New York Herald
In their ears is the perpetual din of

racket, except when they try to talk to
one another, and then the thought of

Bulletin Issued During Even

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Nov. 24.-tSpe-
cial Telegram)-Dr. Whitten has just re-
turned from the bedside OF Senator Hayward
and has given out the following bulletin:
Senator Hayward has passed very rest
less day. His temperature tonight is %,
pulse rs and regular, respiration 26, irregular
and intermittent. His right arm and leg
are completely paralyzed and his speech
more labored and unintelligible than 1t has
been for several days past. Otherwise his
general condition is about as 1t has been for
theNast forty-eight hours"
Senator Haywards present illness dates
back to November 9. At $3.50 p. m. on that
day he left his Office for home and had only
reached the middle OF the street when he
staggered and fell. He arose and walked to
his residence, five blocks away, without
assistance, but upon arriving there imme-
diately took to his bed, where he has since
remained. After three or four days he rail-
lied to such an extent that the physicians
gave out encouraging reports OF his probable
complete recovery, but for the last week he
has barely held his own. The condition of
the paralyzed members is more serious to-
night than it has been any time previous.
