DER CHARGE IN UTAH.

SALT LAKE (Utah,) Jan. 2O.-Cap-
Frederick j: Mills, late Lieutenant
Governor Of Idaho, was TO-DAY ac.
quilted Of the charge Of murder. The
jury was only out fifteen minutes. iust
long enough to elect a foreman and
take ballot. Such a finding was ex-
pected by everyone and the Announce
ment OF the result was followed by
nothing sensational. ~
Capt. Mills was charged with the
murder of John G. O'Melveny. chief an.
gineer of the Oregon Short Line. in
this city on October 8, last. The evil
dence showed that while the defendant
was absent, serving as an officer in the
volunteer army of the United States
his wife and O'Melveny became Grim.
inally intimate.
The defendant learned Of these facts
on the day Of the tragedy, his wife
making full confession. The killing
followed. The defendant pleaded the
Utah statute which justifies the act of
husband who kills his wife's seducer.
and also set up the plea Of insanity.

MAIL CARRIERS DIFFICULTIES

TACOMA (Wash.,) Jan. 19.-[Exclu-

carrier Holcomb has arrived at Eagle
from Valdes, completing his first win
ter trip as carrier Of government mails
from the sea to Yukon, distance of
430 miles. J. A. Leonard, an Eagle
business man, arrived at Dawson with
the news.
Holcomb said he had perilous voy-
age. He encountered many hardships
During the trip ten or twelve horses
died, or had to be killed. He had
working force of eleven men, who were
employed constructing cabins for mail
stations. One was created every
twenty miles. From now on the depart
ment hopes to give monthly mail serv-
Ice between Valdes and Eagle. One
consignment Of mail has already come
out over the new route. From the
coast terminus of the trail telephone
line extends seventy-five miles inland,
and it is the intention Of the govern
ment to extend the line through to
Yukon, next summer. Leonard learned
from Holcomb that engineers are MAX
Ing a preliminary survey for a rail-
road from Valdes to Eagle.

post at Eagle, has closed all gambling

which to obtain money to wager at

There Is always sympathy for the
person who lights fire with kerosene
and for the man who loses his money
in an investment scheme that pays $40
per cent. Interest. Yet gross ignorance
and cupidity can only be disciplined by
cruel experience. The man who invest
ed his money in the Franklin syndicate
was either fool who did not deserve
worldly possessions, or a knave who
hoped to feed upon the gullibllity Of the
public in company with the rascal who
planned the job. The law can keep hu.
man sharks at distance, but it cannot
keep their prey from going to them. In
the worship Of something for nothing"
Is found all that Is weak, selfish, envi-
Gus and dishonest in human nature
Thus, while one part Of humanity is
prowling for chance to get something
for nothing, another is batting It's trap
for the first. If the two destroy each
other in the duel, the world Is the gain
er. A Franklin syndicate failure Is not
a calamity.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. ia. F.
Hess of Waycross, Ca, a statistical
expert Of the Plant Railway system,
one Of the great roads Of the South.
has come here at the request of Coils
P. Huntington to assist the Southern
Pacific Company in creating an acct
dent and life insurance department for
the benefit of it's officers and employees.
1t is to be voluntary with the men
whether they take part in the new de-
partment.
In a general way. the idea Is to have
the men pay into the fund each month
sums ranging from so cents to $3.50.
Their monthly payments will determine
the amount Of sick. accidents and pen
sion benefits they can receive; also
the amount Of insurance in case Of
death. The department is to provide
for weekly benefits in case of sick
ness The employee must have been sick
for five days and have the nature of
his illness certified to by one of the
physicians Of the company before he
can receive sick benefits. Old en-
ployes will be retired on pensions.
