ACCUSED OF FRAUD.
sheep Buyer Alleged to Have Oh
tanned $4,000 worth OF Animals
by False Pretenses.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 13.-Detectives
Thompson and Early, of the central
station, returned yesterday from
Mount Clemens, Mich, having in Gus
tody c. ii. Bingham, alias Davis, who
Is accused of obtaining $4,000 worth
of sheep at the Union stock yards by
false pretenses. Bingham formerly
lived in Vernon, Mich, and has been
known for several years as cattle
buyer at the yards. October 22 he
purchased from Owen, Jackson & Co.
three car loads of sheep and rendered
in payment draft for $4,000 on the
Bank of Durand, of Durand, Mich.
The sheep were delivered and il is
alleged Bingham shipped them TO Yer
non, Mich, and sold them. The Du-
rand institution repudiated the draft
as worthless and the Chicago police
were notified. Sheriff Cady, of Mount
Clemens, learned that Bingham was in
that place and notified Detectives
Thompson and Early, who arrested
the man. 1t is suspected from letters
found in his possession that he con-
templated flight to Canada.

One or two Of the New York papers have
had for years a deservedly high reputation
for presenting their readers with news OF in

not forget its indebtedness to them on that
account. But IL Is beyond dispute that the

Leavin gs i'm Palaces.

Here are some interesting statistics
in regard TO the food which is served
in royal palaces, but which is not used
by the host or guests. The chief cook
of Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria
estimates that Of the 1,250000 francs
which are spent each year on the i'm
perial table more than half million
francs are spent on unused food, or
''leavings." The perquisites from a
single banquet which was given on
the occasion of the jubilee amounted
to more than 10000 francs.
The unused food. and especially the
wine. is sold after each meal to the
principal restaurants Of Vienna, and
in this way the cooks and their assist
ants contrive to obtain twice and oft
en- even three times as much as is paid
TO them each month by the Emperors
steward. In Italy and in Spain this
leakage (no other word seems appro-
priate) has within the last few years
been reduced to a minimum. The EN-
peror Of Germany has also set his
face against this extravaganza. 1t is
said that he makes contract with the
proprietor of one of the first hotels In
Berlin, who guarantees to furnish
meals to him and to all the members
of his court for the fixed sum Of 20
marks head.
Queen Victoria examines carefully
into her household expenses, and is
especially careful that no money shall
be wasted in the royal kitchen.
In the imperial palaces Of Russia the
'leavings" must be considerable. Ev-
cry day between 500 and 600 francs
worth Of wines and cigars are furnish
ed for the imperial banquet, and there
is a strict rule that no bottle whether
opened or not. shall be presented twice
at the Cars table. 1t is said that this
rule is rigidly enforced, and If so II
can readily be seen that the lot of a
chef in a Russian royal palace is by
no means unhappy.-New York Her

Hamilton, the engineer. was thrown
through the window of his cab. De-
spite his injuries he retained presence
of mind TO return to his engine and
draw the fire, thus preventing an eN-
plosion.
The wreck was the result of de-
libera:e piece of work by unknown
train-wreckers and happened at a
point just beyond a short trestle
Two freight trains had passed over
the road in safety n short time before
Where the rails were spread il was
found that the bolts that held the fish
plates had been unscrewed. The nuts
were lying on the ties and the threads
of the bolts were not marred in any
way. A couple of big wrenches. such
as section hands use, were found ly-
ing beside the track, indicating how
the rails had been loosened
Detroit, Nov. 12.-The Michigan
Central railroad will offer a reward of
$4,000 for the capture and conviction
of the persons who caused the wreck
on that line near Alexis, o.. Thurs

HOW A TOWN WAS NAMED
Manner In Which Medicine Hat So
cured That Title.

"Yes, sir, | can tell you how our
town came 10 get its queer name"
said George w. North Of Medicine Hat,
guest at the Palmer. "Poor Lo is re-
sponsible for the name. Now, the In
dian is the most superstitious chap
alive. Nobody believes In luck half so
much as he does. Good medicine with
him Is anything that brings him good
luck, and bad medicine is just the
reverse. Every injun that amounts to
anything has his medicine It's his
lucky penny SO to speak, and he de-
pends upon IL largely FOR good luck.
Often he carries il In little buckskin
bag around his neck, and just as like
as not he won't tell you for love or
money what IL is. Again he will make
fuss over ii and insist on letting
everybody know all about Ii. | knew
one buck whose good medicine was
the top of tomato can which he wore
on his breast.
"Well, to get back to Medicine Hat,
there was a famous Blackfoot chief
who lived somewhere around In that
part Of the country. He divided his
time between hunting and making war
on the Crees. This chiefs good medi-
cine was a most gorgeous headdress
of feathers. He called IL his medicine
hat, and il was the luckiest good med
icine' In al the region around. Well,
one day he fell upon the Crees just
about where our town now is, and he
smote them hip and thigh. He was in
fair way TO wipe the Crees out of
existence when along came a gust of
wind and lifted the magic hat off his
head. That was bad enough, but worse
was to follow. The wind whiried 1t up
on high. carried 1t faster than he could
chase 1t on his pony, and finally
dropped it in the Saskatchewan river.
He lost all confidence In his luck. In
stead of returning to the fight and
pressing home his victory he turned
tail and ran for dear life, followed by
all his tribe.
That's how our town on the south
fork OF the Saskatchewan got its name.
Personally, | hope it will never be
changed. It's hundred times more
desirable than the one thousand and
one insane names that one runs across
all over the continent"

NEW BANK FOR HAWAII.


The first and only national bank out
side of the continental boundaries of
the United States is about to be estab-
lished in Honolulu. Col. Mcfarland,
who was chamberlain to Queen Liliuo-
kalani, has arrived at San Francisco
from the islands to perfect the organi-
zation of the bank, and later to return
with gold coin representing the stock
subscribed for by San Francisco and
New York capitalists. A charter for
the bank has already been procured
from the United States government by
Perry S. Heath, assistant postmaster
general, but it cannot be used until
congress places the Hawaiian islands
under the territorial laws of this
country. In the meantime the new
financial institution will be known as
the First American bank, charter for
which has just been granted by the
Hawaiian government. The corpora
tion is capitalized at 81 200, 900, and one
half of that amount will be in the
vaults, as required by the banking
laws of the island, when the bank opens
its doors on September 1.

LITTLE WORK IN THE WOODS.
Long HnuIs and scarcity of LabOrers
Bring About This Condition
in Upper Peninsula.

Calumet, Nov. II. - There is little
probability of much work being done
in the lumber woods in this vicinity the
coming winter, owing to the fact that
the mining companies are using coal
in much larger quantities than former
ly and outside contractors are hauling
timber in from other parts cheaper
than it can be cut near here. Con-
tracts cannot be taken at Old prices be-
cause the hauls are longer and the once
large forests hereabouts are now near
ly all cut away. Wood choppers are
also scarce this fall and demand ex-
orbitanf nrices.

When the striped pole or sign which
now indicates a barber shop was EN-
ployed TO let the public know where
cupping or bloOd-letting was profess
sionally performed, close shaves were
of daily occurrence, not the easy re-
mOyal of the hirsute or hairy adorn-
ment of the head and face, but close
shaves from entering eternity. More

on his feet. BloOd-letting was used
for everything from a heartache TO a
corn, and pain i'm the loins was in
'ariably treated with two incisions, one
ON each side of the spine. Like plasters
and liniments, these helped from the
counter irritation they created and we
may presume that had Mr.. Calvin Will

how he treated his trouble:

the loins, with lameness and soreness,
everytime you move the muscles of
the arm, long, long, before your daily
task is over you often wish you could
go TO sleep. / tried everything TO bet

There are magnificent churches in
