A Retrospective Glance.

A retrospect of the year just ended
shows many changes. On the eve
ming of Jan. 6 the town hall, a build
ing of which the citizens were Justly
proud, was destroyed by fire. Sew
eral men, who have always been
identified with the best interests of
the town who could not easily be
spared from our little community,
have died with the closing century.

and others who filled their places with
credit to themselves, and honor to the
town. The Amidon wooden mill was
shut down in the autumn, throwing
large number sof employees out of
work, and removing an annual circu-
lation of 100000 from the village bust
ness. Many of the operatives have
left town, having found employment
elsewhere. On the other hand the
Halle & Frost wooden mills are hav-
ing a larger output than in recent
years.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Carroll D. Wright. commissioner of the depart ment of labor. made a statement today concerning Andrew Carnegie's plan to endow a national university at Wash ington. He states that Carnegie has investigated the question of endowment thoroughly and concluded that an in stitution devoted to research and the training of capable persons Is more ir accord with his conceptions than wouli be a rival of the already existing uni versailles of the country.
 He adds that it is probable that the Washington Memorial institution will suspend operations. as it is understood that Carnegie's plan not only embraces all the proposed activities of that in stitution, but goes far beyond these.

DIVIDED ON EXCLUSION
Federation of Labor Will Not Sanction
 Anti-Jsp Resolution.

Scranton. Pa, Dec. 10.-The exclusion of the Chinese. Japanese and other Asiatics from American territory, ticket scalping legislation and the ad- visibility of adopting universal label for union goods were the principal questions that claimed the attention of the delegates at todays session of the American Federation of Labor. Reso- lutions advocating the exclusion of the Chinese were adopted by the conven- ton with a considerable hurrah, but in the matter of excluding the natives of Japan and other Asiatic lands a snay was struck. This part of the anti Mongolian agitation was killed so far as the present convention is concerned. A special committee having charge of the exclusion matter was unanimous in favorably reporting the Chinese section of the resolution. but was divided in regard to the Japanese
 The Pacific coast delegates led the discussion on Chinese exclusion, but were divided when it came to exclud- ing the other Orientals. The burden of the remarks of those opposed to the Japanese resolution was that Chinese immigration was the greater evil of the two, and that to insist upon some re- strictive law to prevent Japanese in- vasion may endanger the passage by congress of the Chinese act.

No Trace of Cashier of
 Wrecked Bank
WI HERE LAST SEEN
He Left Los Angeles on Saturday Morning But There is Growing Opinion That He Returned and is in Hiding in or Near the City. The Bank Bent on His Capture. Reward of Five Thousand.

Los Angeles. Dec 1O.-The search for Henry J. Freshman, the absconding cashier of the Farmers and Merchants bank. has thus far been unsuccessful. The only clew discovered by the police officials after running down every rumor that came to their ears is the fact that Freshman was seen at the Arcade depot of the Southern Pacific company between 8 and o'clock last Saturday morning Some time between these hours Fleishman appeared at the station. wearing an overcoat and carry ing a light colored hand satchel about fifteen inches long. One of the railroad employees who knows Fleishman spoke to him and inquired his destination. The defaultinsy cashier replied that he was going over to Pasadena on busi- ness. The depot employe says he did not see Freshman again; in fact, paid no further attention to him and does not know whether or not he purchased a ticket or took the train.
 It was at first believed by the officials after learning of this bit of news that the fugitive had taken the Southern Picific Sunset Limited east-bound. which leaves Los Angeles at S:3o. In- quiry sent to Conductor Johnson. who took the train out on this particular day. however. disposed of that theory. Johnson says he knows Fleishman very well and positively asserts that he was not on the train between this city and Tucson. The opinion is growing that Fleishnan did in fact take the train ta Pasadena, which he might have done without the conductors knowledge. got off at that place. doubled on his tracks to Los Angeles and is now hiding some where within the city limits.
 I. w. Hellman. president of the Farmers and Merchants bank, arrived from San Francisco today and is taking energetic measures to apprehend the fugitive and bring him to justice. The directors of the bank met today and set an expert to overhaul all of Fieish- mans accounts. Nothing further than the statement given out yesterday as to the amount missing, it was stated at the bank, had developed. A reward of S, 1000 is offered by the bank for the ar rest of Fleishnan and the return of the money
 It has been learned that on Saturday night a man by the name of w. H. Beckhan took a sleeper from Redlands on the east-bound Southern Pacific. Nothing could be learned of him at Redlands beyond the fact that he boarded the sleeper. No man of that name was registered at any of the hotels and the name, after the most careful inquiry. was found to be un known by anybody in the city or the adjacent country. It is the theory of the police now that Beckham was F'leishman. Fleishman has a brother at Tucson in the drug business, but the officers are not expecting him to stop there, as there are many people in Tucson who know him well. If he left for the east on Saturday night he is no doubt out of the country by this time.

FIGURES WENT WRONG.
Something About Food That Saves One
 From Brain Tag.

That food can make or break man is shown in thousands of cases. If ones work requires the use of the brain, the food must furnish particles that will build up the brain and re- place the daily loss
 Many times people fail i'll not know ing that the real cause of the trouble is the lack of the right kind of food to keep the body nourished.
 As an illustration: A young man in Cha tham. Va, says. .I have been eTn- ployed for quite time in large to- bacco warehouse here. My work re- quired a great deal of calculating, run ming up long and tireso.ne columns of figures. Last winter my health began to give out and l lost from two to ten days out of every month
 ''I gradually got worse instead of better. It was discovered that when did work many mistakes crept into my calculat tions in spite of all l could do. It was. of course. brain flag and eX- haustion. After dragging along for several months l finally gave up my position for every remedy on earth that I tried seemed to make me worse instead of better and I had to force down what food I ate. hating to see meal time come.
 ''One day friend said: 'Crider. do you know there is food called Grape Nuts that I believe is made to fit just such cases as yours?' The name rather attracted me and I tried the food. The delicious. swedish taste pleased me and I relished it. In about a week my old color began to come back and I gained in strength every day. Finally l weighed and found I was gaining fast in flesh, and with the strength came the desire for work, and when I went back l found that my mind was as accurate as ever and ready to tackle anything
 'I now can do as much work as any man and know exactly from what my benefit was derived, and that is from Grapefruit I feel that it is but fair and just that my experience be known" E. P. Crider, Chatham, Va.
