LAW BREAKING GOVERNOR

rested IN COLORADO.
Debeque, Cello, July Ex-Governor
Tanner Of Illinois, is safely out of the
state, despite efforts on the part of
game wardOns to detain him for viola
tion of the game law in killing out Of
season one four pronged buck. Not
satisfied with the pelt of a mountain
lion for his parlor the executive of
Illinois slew a young deer, and the
incident promises TO make trouble be-
tween Colorado and Illinois.
The open season begins Aug. Is, and
one caught with deer in his possession
before that time may be committed to
jail for a period of from ten days to
six months, or he made TO pay a fine
of from $40 to $500, or both.
There was no concealment in Cover
nor Tanners offense, and the news was
promptly wired to the chief game war
den at Denver, with a request for in
structions. The local wardens did not
care to arrest a visiting governor, and
therefore took no action on the prem
ises
1t is said that Governor Tanner will
return this way from California, for
which state he boarded a train at
Glenwood Springs, and that on cross
ing the Utah line coming east he will
be served with summons to appear be-
fore Justice Hedden, at Glenwood
Springs.

A Bridge Destroyed by Elec-
tricity.

The bridge over the Wabash River
at Clinton Indiana, was recently de-
stroyed with the aid of electricity. 1t
was a wooden bridge resting on stone
piers and it was very essential to have
the bridge removed by a certain time.
OF course, dynamite could have been
used, but the explosion would have in
jured or destroyed the piers, and if the
bridge was set on fire it would have
cracked the masonry. An electrician
agreed to wreck the wooden structure
without injuring the piers. Each
span of the bridge was composed of
nine chords, each consiting of three
timbers. If the twenty-seven sills were
cut simultaneously, the spans would
This was actually done, the cutting be-
ing accomplished by burning through
the wood by loops of iron wire made
hct by the passage Of the electric cur
rent. No. ~ wire was used for the
loops, and at the bottom of each loop
a five pound sash weight was fastened
to an insulator This weight pulled
The loop down as it burned its way
through the timber. According to The
Western Electrician, an alternating
current of ilfty volts pressure was EN-
ployed. One span was wrecked at "a
time, and the total time which elapsed
from the turning of the current until
the fall of the span was one hour and
forty minutes in each case. After the
fall of the bridge an examination
showed that all of the sills were burn
ed by the wire loop in exactly the
same manner, five inches deep on the
top and three inches on the sides.
When this depth was reached the
weight of the span fractured the re-
naming wood. The cut was sharp and
clean and the wood was not charred
more than an inch from the place of
the fracture. Two thousand spectators
witnessed the feat-Scientlfc Amerl-

Scheme to Restrict Production
of Oil in Lima District.

Lima, o., Sept. 22.-There is an eff
fort being made toward the formation
of a combination of operators to sus-
pend the drilling of oil wells in the
different Trenton rock fields in this
state and Indiana for a period of six
months. A number of the largest op-
orators and producers in this part of
the field are in charge of the move
ment, which they say will bring most
favorable results IL the deal is ar
ranged.
The suspension of drilling would be
the means of not only holding the
market where 1t is, burt would make it
go higher The price of iron is also
used an argument, making it more ex-
pensive to drill now than for many
years, and the promoters of the move
ment assert that it will, in all proba-
bility, be cheaper by spring The
greatest difficulty win be to get land
owners having leases calling for wells
within specified times to agree to the
plan, but better market, 1t is thought
will induce them TO agree and modify
leases accordingly.

DR.. Andrews on Expansion.

Andrews, in his Manual of the Con-
stitution, on page 2lS, says:
There is no doubt that tht United
States, like other nations, can acquire
territory and govern it. Though the
articles of confederation said nothing
about the government of territory,
congress exercised this power, and
passed the celebrated ordinance of 1878
while the convention that framed the
constitution was in session. After the
constitution was adopted, congress did
not deem it necessary to re-enact that
ordinance, but merely adapted it to
the new constitution, by providing that
the territorial officers who, before were
appointed by congress, should now be
appointed by the President and SEN
ate and should report to the president
instead of congress. This act which
was passed August 7, 1889, shows that
tie members of that first congress un-
der the constitution regarded the or
dinance as still binding"
The same author on same page says:
THE constitution nowhere in ex,
press terms authorizes the general
government to enlarge the national
domain by purchase, by annexation. OF
in other mode; but this is one of the
powers incident to national sover-
eighty; and as such it has been repeat
edly exercised by the United States
Louisiana was purchased under the ad-
ministratiOn of Mr. Jefferson; Florida
under that OF Mr.. Monroe; Texas was
annexed under the presidency of Mr.
Tyler; and the territory which was
obtained from Mexico was conquered
under Polk. All these gentlemen were
strenuous advocates in theory of the
doctrine that our general government

The Burden of Great Wealth

Wealth not only takes wings, but IL
has tendency to clip a few years
from me lives of men who labor under
the burden of carrying it, There was
old Commodore Vanderbiltywho found
ed the family. He started in life with
out a penny. His earlier years were
spen- in hard work. His fare was fru-
gal and his habits all conducive of
health. He lived to be SO years Of age
and was a vigorous man, mentally and
physically, almost to the day of his
death.
His son, William Fl. Vanderbilt, as
sumed the great burden when the
cares of the fortune were left to him.
But he was raised in a proper way
during his boyhood days and lived to
be 65a fairly long life.
- few days ago the third in the line,
Cornelius, died at the age of Sc years.
The cares of 5000, 1000, 900 or 100000, 900
for himself and the family connections
We're too much. He passed away just
when man should be at his best
II this decreasing ration in length OF
years Is to continue, Cornelius Van
derbilt, the four h, should be very
thankful that he viii not be called up
on to manage the great estate. In
fact, he should feel grateful that the
fanny estate Is to be managed for a
few years by his uncle, William X
This will enable him to look forward
to few years of life with degree oi
confidence he would not have were he
to be called upon TO carry the burden
OF the millions during the next ten ol
fifteen years.-COm. Trib.

Some Surprising Figures.

The chief statistican of Missouri has
made a point of obtaining information
concerning the value of poultry land
egg products of that state. The mag
nitude of the figures given are in the
nature of surprise, and, in all prob
ability, great as they are, they do not
cover the field completely.
During last year the dressed poultry
shipped by the farmers of the State
amounted to 100000 pounds, worth
to the producers almost $5,0000OO. In
round numbers, the eggs shipped ag-
gregated 34,000,000 dozen, worth to
the farmers $3,4OO,O0O. This inclden-
tai farm product thus brought to the
farmers $S,4OO,OOO, which is about one
fourth the value of the cattle shipped,
and almost one-fourth of the value of
the hog product of the state.
This, however does not show the
full value of the poultry and egg in
dustry, for the amount consumed at
home is not taken into consideration.
The amount is very large. Then, too,
the chickens that are raised in the
small towns do not show in the figures
given. 1t is well known that in hund-
reds of villages, and even in larger cit
les, there are thousands of women who
interest themselves in a few hens for
amusement and business combined
What they raise would be another bic
addition to the totals given. Summing
up, it may be affirmed safely that the
poultry anu egg trade of Missouri ia
not much less than S10,000,000.
From these figures it is fair to infer
that the statement often made that the
poultry business is greater in magni-
tude than the wheat crop is not sc
wild as it appears at the first glance. II
is certainly big industry,wi an out
put in the whole country worth hun
dreds of millions of dollars.

on their purchase.

1t is that sacrifice Maclaren tells us
we are making. He declares that" the
friendly visitor to ne United States,
who is proud of her achievements and
delighted by her brightness, stands
aghast at the open and unabashed
front of secularity," and he adds that
in conversation it is nearly every
where implied that "if you know the
proper sum, any man can be induced
to do what you want, even though his
healt.. and rest, his family and his
principles stand in the way" That is
only another way of stating the charge

full observation has convinced me
that there are a great many in the
United States in every business and
profession whose desire to get on in
the world is so strong that when put to
severe test they will choose success
through questionable methods rather
than honorable failure.
Moral cowardice," said friend, sis
the great American sin" There are
times when it takes hero to admit
defeat and begin at the beginning
again. But public sentiment is great
ly to blame for the existing state of
things. People in general are too
prone to bow reverently before COM
mercial success without any regard to
the methods whereby that success was
alta ned while they assume the atti-
tude of Indifference to one who has
failed i business even though his
honor was preserved. We need to
learn that sometimes material success
may mean moral disaster while on the
o1ner hand commercial failure may
carry with it a moral victory. One of
the things greatly needed in American
life just now is the equalization of op-
portunity, but in or-er to remove the
cloud of secularity that hangs over us,
parents must assume the important
task of growing a generation that will
count it more noble to endure hard
ships for the sake of honor than to win
the smiles of dame fortune through the
sacrifice of principles that are more
precious than gold. E. A. C.
