WHERE UNCLE SANS MONEY GOES
The Number Employees at the National Capitol the Amount
They Draw from the Government Yearly.

A big item in the appropriations
which congress makes is for the sala-
ries of department employees of the
government. And it is astonishing
how rapidly the number of these en-
ployes increases. Why so many are
needed no one is prepared to say. Ev-
cry once in while there comes a de-
mand for extra help, and when new
places are created it seems that they
are never abolished, even though the
need for them has ceased.
1t is possible that, at a safe calcula-
ton, the departments at Washington
could be conducted, just as well as they
are now, by two-thirds of the number
of employees on their pay rolls. No
doubt some of them earn all the money
they get, bat the most of them are
paid much more than they could earn
outside of the government service.
If there could be thorough over
hauling of the government employees,
and only those retained who are capa-
BILE of rendering good service and
whose services are needed, millions of
dollars would be saved TO the govern
ment annually. There is no probable
ity, however, of any such reform being
made. About every one of the en-
ployes has congressional influence. If
one of them is discharged congress
man wants to know the reason, and, in
most cast cases, no reason that can be
given is satisfactory. The congress-
man will not be satisfied until the dis
charged employe is reinstated. 1t is
probable taat there are dozens of en-
ployes, it may be hundreds, who are
slowed away in the departments some
where and who are practically forgot
ten by all except the man who makes
out the weekly pay roll.
The following statement contains the
number of employees in the departments
at the national capitol together with
the amount which they draw from the

SHE TRIED ON COFFIN;
Then CONTENT TO DIE.
NEW HAVEN MAN MADE COFFINS TO
FIT ALL HIS FAMILY.
His Sick Wife Taken from Bed and Placed
in Hers to See if 1t Would
Fit SnugIy.

A New Hagen, Conn, dispatch SAYS
that three weeks ago when James
Humphreys decided that his wife would
not recover from spell of sickness he
concluded to build three collins in the
house where he lived, one for the dy-
ing woman, one for his mother-in-law,
who is 80 years old, and the third for
himself. He had been a carpenter in
his day, but of late had been in the
real estate business. The first coffin
made was for his wife. She on her
sick bed watched the work progressing
on her coffin. Her husband measured
her body for a fit, and when the coffin
was finished to make sure there was
no mistake in the measurements he
helped his wife get into it and she lay
down in the casket just as she would
recline in death. Mrs. Humphreys, af-
ter settling her body down in the cof-
fin, tried to twist her body bit and
said to her husband that it was a little
too snug. Her husband thought other
wise, but it was decided to enlarge it.
Then the coffin was placed in the bed
room near the bed on which Mrs.
Humphreys spent her last days.
Mrs. Humphreys remains were
taken to Fresh Pond, l.. / to be
cremated. Her husband has already
placed in position in his parlor an urn
TO contain his wife's ashes. Hum
phreys says that his aged moth
er-in-law was placed in her coffin re-

right size for her. His own coffin, he
declares, will just TIT him.

In the last congress there were bills
introduced to raise the salaries of the
justices OF the United States supreme
court, and of all of the other United
States courts, also the salaries OF sena-
tors and representatives. 1t is not inn
probable that in this congress there
will be bills to increase the salaries Of
the president, vice president and cabi-
net officers, and if they pass there will
doubtless be movement to increase
the salaries of pretty nearly all federal
officeholders.

KLINE WILL SERVE TIME.
The Drummer Taken to a Camp in

A. L. Kline, who was convincted in
the city court at Americas of cheating
and swindling and sentenced to pay a
fine of 1915 or serve twelve months at
hard labor or six months in Jail, has
decided to do the twelve months work
and has been tlken to Miller county

chose the long sentence in the gang
rather than the short one in Jail,
Kline attracted good deal ofatten-
ton at the depot while waiting for the
train. He was neatly dressed, calmly
smoked a cigar, and but for the hand
cuffs it would have been hard to dis
tinguish him as a convict.
There are several other charges
against Kline of getting worthless
drafts cashed.

About Those Forged Express
Money Orders.

H. c. Lyon, who was recently ar
rested here and taken TO Columbus Tor
defrauding the express company, has
found himself in more trouble.
1t seems that Lyon, in the alleged
disposal of his money orders, sent them
through the United States mail, there
by using it, it is claimed, as a vehicle
to defraud, and violating statue OF
the United States. The case was work

proved by e. D. Peer, a postofhce IN

Some Enormous Salaries Are Paid.

salaries that are now paid.
1t has been stated several times re

salary of The president of the billion

now it is announced that Mr.. G. w.
Perkins has been taken in as partner
of j. p. Morgan & Co, andathat he is
to have a salary of $1,000 a year.
1t is expected of course that the men
who get these enormous salaries will
earn them. There are opportunities
for big financial enterprises of one
kind and another. and if they are util-
lied properly it is an easy matter to
make hundreds of thousands of dollars

Many of these employees are now
growing old and there is a movement
to have them put on the pension list.
None of them save anything for old
age or sickness, or, if there are any,
the number is so small that it is hardly
worth noticing. 1t would not be at al
surprising if within the next few years
the movement to pension worn out EN-.
ployes would be successful. The GER
tainty that there would be demand
for pensions was one of the strongest
arguments in favor of the spoils sys-
tenn By that system the changes are
so frequent that few grow cid in the

should become so strong that there

How This Treatment A.
fects Nervous System.
IT SENDS A MESSAGE
Over the Wires" Which are
Called Nerves to Certain
Centers Causing nls-
40 the Pain.

When 1t is considered that the body
is supplied with countless nerves,
which are found in almost every part
Of the system in such vast numb srs
that the point of pin cannot be placed
upon the skin in any part without CON-
ing in contact with one or many of the
nerves, it is not strange that. 1t is by
and through the nerves that almost
every disease must be cured.
Take for instance congestion Of the
lungs, which Is the first stage of pneu-
monia. In this case, the blood vessels
become overloaded with blood because
of the fact that the delicate nerves
which supply the middle or muscular
coat of the vessels have become tenn
porarily paralyzed and no longer prop
erly govern the caliber or size Of the
vessels. This permits the vessels to
become distended and unduly filled with
blood; hence there results congestion,
or the first stage pneumonia, which
must be relieved or 1t will pass on to
the other and most dangerous stages
of the disease.
A few words In regard to the cure.
we must nrSt relieve the congestion.
To do this, we must restore the lost
tone of the paralyzed and distended
vessels. This must be done by and
through the nerves that govern them,
and to do this Is one of the applica
tions of the principles of Neuropathy
So it is through all the catalogue of
diseases. Every step of the treatment
by Neuropathy is just as rational as
removing the offending cinder from
the eye by direct and mechanical
means.
Pressure upon certain parts Of the
body will instantly relieve and cure
the most excruciating pain in many
instances. The pain may be at a dis
tance from where the pressure Is made,
but the pressure sends a message over
the wires" called nerves to certain
centers, which are causing the pain
and almost instantly the pain ceases.
These truths and principles have been
demonstrated in hundreds of instances
by DR.. q. f. Larkins, who Is practicins
Neuropathy in the City National BanF
building, Canton.

MEMBER OF ATHENS
Makes Some Queer State tents
-.StiIi Confident Of captur-
ing tho Speakership
With Ease.

Athens, o., Nov. 20.-The attention
of Representative A. e. Price, candi-
date for speaker of the house, was
last night called to an interview re-
Gently published from the Rev. p. A.
Baker, of the Anti-Saloon league, who
made the statement to the effect that
Mr.. Price could not get the support
OF one out of five for the speakership,
unless bounded into line by the party
whip. Mr.. Price smiled and said that
II Mr.. Baker thought he had been
asleep since his denomination last
spring he was much mistaken.
"The fact is," said Mr. Price, II have
known pretty well where have stood
for some time, and since my election
! have been in position to command
the support and respect of majority
of the old members"
Mr.. Price said his knowledge was
a result of pretty thorough canvass
of the old members. Before the last
election he referred to the newspa.
pers as having made Representative
McKinnon and Representative Com
mings his strongest opponents. but
that at the same time the most frankly
relations existed among them; in fact,
IL they should step out of the race
their relations were such that their
support and influence would naturally
go to him.
In speaking of future temperance
legislation Mr.. Price said that he would
represent the progressive temperance
element in the Republican party il
elected speaker, and that the extremes
on both sides should be avoided.
But" said Mr.. Price, as he started
for the Hooking Valley train, "do you
know that am being watched like
hawk, and that detectives have been
shadowing Inc during my trips through
tho state? ! have an accurate de-
scription of some who are following

pugilist, will say that 1t will be to

and does not allow my six feet of
avoirdupois to come in contact with
him. am going to the northwestern
part OF the state tomorrow, and I'll

keeps in sight"
