van was indicted with Murray and to-
day did not appear for sentence and his
recognizance was defaulted.
After Attorney General Tanner had
moved for sentence Attorney Dennis III.
Sheahan, counsel for Murray moved
that Murray be placed in charge of the
probation officer. Richard b. Comstock
of the law firm of .Comstock a. Gard
ner also had something to say in the
matter. Mr.. Comstock's firm is counsel
for the Wanskuck Company and was
counsel for Shea in a civil suit brought
against Murray.
Mr.. Comstock warmly opposed Mr..
Sheahan's motion and said ~ the pro-
baton law was applied TO the case IL
would be rank injustice. Mr.. Com
stock said he believed a man had a
right to strike and TO leave his work
but no man had a right TO prevent or
interfere or say TO another you snail
stop work"
Mr.. Comstock said he would OF course
bow TO the decision of the court but
he urged that the probation law was
not intended for a case like the pres
ent and though his honor leaned TO
mercy as was perfectly proper. yet the
law had proved in many instances a
failure. Mr.. Comstock pleasantly re-
marked he had merely asked the court
to apply the law for a party indicted.
Judge Wilbur said he would consider
the remarks OF Mr.. Comstock and the
testimony i'm the case. Mr.. Comsto<k
did not think the testimony had any
thing TO do with Il and MR. eSheahan
claimed the court had az much right TO
consider the testimony as Mr.. Comstock
had To assist the state in the prosecu-
tion OF the defendant

was tried was strong

BRACKET SELECTED
FOR THE MARINE CORPS

The second appointment in the
United States marine corps of an eff.
GER from the state of Illinois which
has ever been made by President Me-
Kinley, was this week made by him in
the appointment of William Brackett,
n Peoria boy well known here, as Sec
ond lieutenant in that fine branch of
the military and naval service. Lieut..
Harding. of Quincy, is the only other
young officer from Illinois who has
been commissioned in the United
States marine corps, and his appoint
meut came to him by reason of his
gallant services as volunteer officer in
the late war with Spain. Last year
the president appointed Is candidates
at large to take the examinations,
physical and mental, before board of
officers at the marine barracks, Wash
ington, ID. c., to fill few existing va
cancies in the grade of second lieuten-
ant in the United States marine corps.
William Bracket, of Peoria, was
appointed one of these, and at once
went to Annapolis. Md, to spend the

composed of five distinguished officers
of the marine corps and lasted two
weeks. Only eight out of the 10 can

and of THESE Lieut.. Bracket has the
great honor of standing second in
highest general average on the list.
Lieut.. Bracket served with dis

4 Russian paper gives an interesting
insight into the way they do things on
the Siberian railway.
4 merchant recently sent a carload
or frusa from Irkutsk to Chita. The
railway charges were 40 rubles, but
the tips to railway officials amounted
To 100 rubles more.
Tipping, or ''greasin&" as it is called
in Siberia, is a tax from which no pa
iron of the railway is exempt.
In the case mentioned the first sta
ton master told the merchant that the
loaded car was sick" or disabled,
and would have to be side tracked for
repairs.
How long will ii take to make the
repairsT' the merchant asked.
oh, u week at least" was the an
swer.
The merchant started, for Il week s
delay meant the spelling of his cargo,
and, besides. it was ordered for imme-
diate delivery. But when the fruit
dealer had slipped 10 or 10 rubles into
the officials hand the latter found that
the car was well enough to travel.
At the next station the car fell Ill
again and had to be restored to health
in the same manner. and this process
was repeated every time the train
stopped.
Local merchants have become used
to this "greasing" business and simply
add the amount to the price of their
wares, so that the consumer pays the
freight and the tips as well.

a Long Bath.

A man who is n lawyer and a jour
nalist in one of the smaller inland cit
les of Ohio tells of an uncle he has in
the region of Massillon. This relative
is one of the pious members of a small
community and, being possessed OF
considerable executive ability. has
been for more than 90 years the super
intendent of thriving Sunday school.
His besetting sin, If it might be called
such, is his propensity to eXaggerate
stories in order to make them interest
ing to his auditors.
Some time ago he was telling his
lawyer journalist nephew of how he
cured himself of the ague. 1t was sew
eral years ago. and, having tried every
remedy in vain. he at last consulted an
old Indian doctor, who advised him, lie
says, to go down TO the creek each
morning Immediately on rising and sit
in the cold water up to his chin. He
was to sit there one minute the first
morning and then double the time each
day for 20 days. The uncle says he
followed the prescription and was
cured.
The nephew. who happens to be of a
calculating turn of mind, figured out
how long his uncle would stay in his
cold bath on the twentieth day He
found that the last treatment would
last few days over six MONTHS

Reading Matter For the Duke.

There was an amusing incident In
connection with the late Duke Of Edin-
burgh's Australian tour. He accepted
an invitation to visit a wealthy squat
ter, on whose estate excellent shooting
was to be had. The squatter was 4
self made man, entirely unincumbered
with book learning and absolutely in
nocent of reading tastes. In making
preparations for the dukes visit it was
suddenly discovered that the furnish
ing of the library had been completely
overlooked. There was no time to be
lost, and so the squatter sat down and
dispatched the following telegram TO
the leading Melbourne bookseller:
Send one ton of books. Immediate
delivery"
The bookseller was staggered at the
receipt of such n wholesale and uncon-
ventional order, but as the signature of
the sender would be bonOred by any
Melbourne bank on 4 check for six fig
ures he kept his staff working on the
job until the small hours of the morn
ing. and the ton of miscellaneous liter
ature was happily shelved before the

STRENUOUS DAYS FOR WELD.

one element in the community that he

year, and. feeling the time was oppor-
tune to bury him so deep he would
not be heard from for years to come,
handed him the bouquet he so long
sought. So now those whose support
Mr.. Weld said he did not care for are
out after him with their lit ham
mers. In his dreams he hears the
anvil chorus. His waking hours are
occupied in doing missionary work
among those whom he has offended.
But he meets but the arctic
stare, for those who believed
him sincere in his much-Vaunted
principles and proposed supporting
him for that reason. have learned that
he has been handing them the dou be
