To Double Edaho's Population.

Both the Rio Grando Western
and Oregon Short Line railroads are
IA the midst of the most determined
and gigantic effort towards coloniz-
atom ever made in'1he west. The
passenger departments have literal
" been given over to the one object
and the results will doubtless be
magnitudinous.
The Short Line has pretty wen
settled its country lying Within the
borders of Utah, and for that rca-
son is making special efforts in the
direction of Idaho, while the Rio
Grande Western is bent on increas~
ing the population of Utah in all
directions from Salt Lake.
General Passenger Agent Burley,
of the Oregon Short line, stated
that the Short LINE would prosecute

A few tiny dark red stains upon the
pavement were all that remained to tell
the story of the scene which had SO
recently been enacted in the busy
thoroughfare. Presently even these
were obliterated by the random stroke
of horses hoof.
The ripple had disappeared from the
surface. The stream of life was flow

arteries of the metropolis. =.

To begin with. he's "a good fellow"
That's a phrase easier understood by
men than by women. 1t generally
means-well, it means he's an all
round good sort in the male line,
says the Philadelphia Press. The
other afternoon he was feeling
pretty good. He had been quite
thirsty, if what he had taken was to
be judged as criterion. And the Ii
bations left him in thoroughly good
humor, and he felt at peace with the
world. In this delightful mental and
physical state he bethOught him of a
friend of his in Providence, II. /. And
he further thought that he would call
up that particular friend on the tele-
phone. So he went to Broad street
hotel. told the young woman there
who had charge of the phone that he
wanted to speak to Mr.. So-and-So in
Providence, and wouldn't she kindly
call up the party. The girl did as she
was babe. Party on the phone" she
said, and the man went into the tele-
phone box. sat down and put the re-
ceiver to his ear. And then he calmly
and sweetly dropped off to sleep.
When he woke up he owed the tele-
phone company $500. He said he
wouldn't pay it-but he did.

To Mothers Of Large Families.

In this workaday world few women
are so placed that physical exertion
is not constantly demanded of them
in their daily life.
Mrs Pinkham makes special appeal
to mothers of large families whose
work is never done, and many Of
whom suffer, and suffer for lack Of
intelligent aid.
To women, young or old, rich or
poor, Mrs. Pinl<ham, Of Lynn, Mass,
extends her invitation of free advice.
Oh, women do not let your lives be
sacrificed when a word from Mrs.
Pinkham, at the first approach Of

renewed his search on the brilliantly
lighted pavement in the immediate vi
cinity of the cab; examining every
stone, investigating every joint and
every rut, prodding with his cane every
lump of frozen mud, turning every
stray scrap of paper.
'Well, DOCTOR" he said, when at
length he rejoined his companion, eff

problems I have met; but there is
nothing more for me to learn here for
the present. By the way, as 1 was say
ing when I interrupted myself a little
while ago. are you sure the cabman is
drunk? Iwish you would take another
good look at him. The question may be
more important than it seemed at
first"
A few minutes later the physician
and the reporter were hurrying along
to make up for the time they had lost;
the cab and the cabman had disap-
peared in the custody of the police.

Broadway had resumed its holiday
aspect; the wizened bag at the corner
still patiently ground out her plaintive
discords; the fearful newsboy, with
his slowly diminishing armtul of news
papers, continued to SILVER in the cold
wind, as he offered his stock to the
/ hafrying pedestrians; the big police
man again piloted his fair charges
through the mass of moving vehicles,
and the changing cable cars started
once more ON their rumbling course.

..the body is almost cold"

the policeman.
sYes; this man was shot. See there!"
As he spoke he pointed to a red streak
which, starting from the left side of
the dead mans coat, extended down
ward and marked the course of the tiny
stream in which the life blood had
flowed to a little pool on the floor of the
cab.
'Shot!" exclaimed the policeman,
who turned Immediately to one of his
brother officers. keep your eye on the

quick!"
Then, addressing thescabEnan,su upon

roughly:

The policeman looked at the man in
blank amazement for an instant. Then
he turned away CONTEMPORARY.
''All right, young feller," he said.
''you don't have to confess to me. But
guess you'll have a chance to tell that
story to judge and jury"
Then he proceeded to examine the
dead mans pockets they were empty.
''Looks like robbery he murmured.
What is it, jim? Haven't you got the
other man."
Jim had not found the other man;
for the pale young fellow in the seal
skin cap had disappeared.
The reporter was STOPPING over the
body, while DIR. Thurston cut through
the clothing and laid bare a small,
round wound.
Here is another bullet wound" said
Sturgis, turning over the body slightly,
and pointing out second round hole
in the back of the dead man.
He seemed to take great interest in
this discovery. He whipped out a
steel tape and rapidly but carefully
took a number of measurements, as if
to locate the positions of the two
wounds. Then he stepped into the cab;
and, striking match after match, he
spent several minutes apparently in
eager search for something which he
could not find.
THAT is strange" he muttered to
himself, as he came out at last.
"What is it?" inquired Thurston,
who alone caught the words.

,Sturgis, with quiet conviction. lis that

self"
The reporter was a man of about 80,
whose regular features bore the un-
mistakable stamp of intelligence and
refinement. In repose, they wore an
habitual expression of retrospective
concentration, which might have led
n careless observer to class Ralph Stur-
gis in the category of aimless dream
ers. But single flash of the piercing
gray eyes generally sufficed-to dispef
any such impressions; and told of keen
perception and underlying power. The
mouth was firm and kind; the bearing
that of gentleman and man of edu
cation.
But" objected the host. ''you surely
do not mean to express belief in the
infallibility of circumstantial evil
dence?'
''Why not?'
Because you must know as we'll as
anyone how misleading uncorrOborated
circumstantial evidence is. do not for
get what remarkable results you have
often accomplished for the Daily Tenn
pest in detecting and following up
clews to which the official detectives
were blind. But, frankly. were not
your conclusions usually the result of
lucky Suesses, which would have re-
manned comparatively useless as evil
dence had they not been subsequently
proved correct by direct testimony"
''Let me reply to your question by an
other, Sprague," answered Sturgis.
"When you draw a check, does the pay
ing teller at the bank require the tes-
timony of witnesses to your signature
before admitting its genuineness"
mo; of course not"
Precisely. He probably knows the
signature of Harvey NJ. Sprague, the
depositor, better than he does the
| face of Sprague, the artist. And yet
the evidence here is purely circum-
stantial. I know of at least one re-
cent instance in which the officials OF
| New York bank placed their i'm
plicit reliance upon circumstantial
! evidence of this sort, in spite of the
direct testimony of the depositor,
who was willing to acknowledge the
genuineness of check to which his
| name had been forged"
II suppose you refer to the Forsyth
case" said Sprague; 'but you must
remember that Col. Forsyth was
actuated by the desire to shield the
| forger, who was his own scapegrace
son.
