that Is not what he represents it to be. Why2
Because he expects to derive an extra profit

There are several small islands in
the Pacific ocean that belong to Eng
land. A vessel was wrecked during a
storm on one Of these islands, and 1t
was necessary to get word to Auckland.
Carrier pigeons were used. They car
ried the messages and brought return
messages. This success led to the buy
ing of a large flock Of carrier pigeons,
who were trained for the work on these
islands. Each bird car carry four
messages, each written on paper OF
a certain quality and size. When four
messages are ready, a bird Is sent OF.
Each message costs either one shill-
ing or sixpence. These pigeons are
private property.

An extraordinary freak was played
by lightning during a recent heavy
thunderstorm in Coventry, England.
The lightning struck the chimneystack
of a house occupied by a matchmaker
and split it to the basement, magnetic
ing all the tools and watches in the
workshop. Every particle of steel re-
ceived a charge of the electric cur
rent. 1t is thought it may be pos
sible to demagnetize the smaller artf-
cles and parts of watches, but the
larger tools are SO thoroughly impreg-
mated as to be completely spoiled.

OUT GOES HOPKINS.
Another POpuIist Senator De-
prived of His Seat.

Cnas. Buschow was seated over Sena-
tor Hopkins this morning by a vote Of
n to 6.
There was no debate and only a few
senators explained their votes. The mi
nority saw it was useless ana remained
quiet
Senator Pestana called up the report
of the elections committee which he had
fled Monday relative to the Hopkins
Buschow contest. The report states
that illegal votes were cast for Hopkins
by minors or aliens and on that account
80 votes for Hopkins were thrown out.
The report then considered Bryant
township of Graham county. It charges
that the Democratic and PoDulist judges
were candidates themselves and that
Judge Dreyling marked the ballots of
so Russians for the Democratic candi-
dates when the Russians said they
wanted to vote as the other Russians
did. It also states that Dreyling was on
the ticket as candidate for trustee of the
township The committee held that
there was so much fraud in the township
that they were ooiiged TO throw out the
entire vote This takes 81 more votes
from Hopkins and leaves BuschoW a
majority of II.
The minority report went over the
men whose votes were thrown out by the
committee and showed that there was
no evidence to show that a single one
Of them had voted for Hopkins, never
theless, the committee assumed they had
sOtEQ LOA 11OphAAS anu t4A4CW Jul LnC
votes In fact, all the illegal votes
found in the district excepting two
were assumed by the committee to have
been Democratic votes and were counted
off from Hopkins total.
The minority report shows that
Buschow ran ahead of his ticket in the
township which they threw out.
It is. peculiar that Mr.. Buschow should
run ahead of his ticket in the very town
ship which the committe says was rank
with fraud and In which money was
used.
Senators Sinnons, Wulfekuhler, Stew
art White and Gabriel were absent.
After the vote Senator Smith offered a
resolution that Chas. Buschow was duly
elected and entitled to his seat. The
resolution was adoDted.

The jury had been out so long that

Hamilton was brought into court 10 hear
the verdict. He mad enjoyed a good
nights sleep and seemed IN excellent
spirits. When the verdict was read
Hamilton appeared dazed and made no
other sign than to shake his head ia
mute protest.
He was renamed to jail TO await sem
tence and absolutely refused to see any
one except his devoted friend, Miss
johnson, Of Colorado Springs
His attorneys at once moved for a
new trial, but no date was set for hear
ing the arguments. When the prisoner
reached the jail he said to Jailer Alex
ander with a despairing gesture,
They've found me guilty, captain-but
I do not deserve It."

WON'T BE ADVANCED.
Double Header BID Has Little Chance
at This.Session.

There was a test of sentiment in the
house this morning over the double
header BILL which the house railroad
committee reported adversely. The rail-
road men of the state are pushing hard
to secure its passage, and the measure
has many friends on the floor of the
house.
Representative Nation, who secured
permission from the house Monday to
have the bill printed and put on the
calendar, asked the house to have it ad-
vanced to third reading Lawrence
sought to have it made a special order
two-thirds strength to secure this The
vote was So to A in favor of so doing,
but the opponents topped the one third
mark and blocked the bill for the pres
ent.
Captain Seaton opposed the advance
ment of the bill strenuously. He said
the railroad committee had given the
bill careful consideration, and he didn't
propose to have this house dictated to
by the third house and railroad mems
lobby.
Lawrence urged consideration, as did
