BOY AND BURGLAR ALARM
The Sheriff s Office Thrown into Ex-
 ci.ement Yesterday.

There was sudden and fierce com motion in the office of the sheriff yes terday afternoon. The burglar alarm rang. and that is a sign of trouble The burglar alarm button is in the office of the county treasurer and s supposed to be never pushed for fun. The alarm is rung ire quently for the purpose of testing it and sometimes to gratify the curiosity of country taxpayers who want to be sure that their money is properly safe guarded. but on such occasions th= sheriff's office is notified that it is going to be done. One time a county treas urer rang it by accident and half a minute later he found himself covered by three revolvers in the hands of angry deputies, who discussed the pro priety of killing him anyhow for the scare he had given them
 When the alarm broke the Sabbath stiffness Of the sheriff's office yester- day afternoon. Deputy Moeuer. who was stiil ruminating on his Sunday din- Ter and almost dreaming about and en- toying it over again, thus getting two meals for the price Of one, sprang from his chair and grabbed a revolver H. rushed to the door of the treasury anI tried to open it. but it was locked.
 
 no reply. The deputy sheriff gave the door kick with the idea of dislodging it from it's hinges, but it only shivered. Then an unfamiliar voice from the in- side containing no note of excitement or any other emotion fell upon the ears of the impatient officer: Ugh. What do you want?" Mir. Moeuer was now sure a burglary was in progress and he cried. "Open this door or I'll kick it down." To show that he meant what he said he landed another kick. but again the door withstood the shock Then it was opened and County Treas Jrer Walker blocked the opening and told the deputy if he had a warrant to be cashed to bring it around some week day during business hours. MT. Moeuer wiped his brow and inquired what MT. Walker was ringing the alarm for. ''Tt rang twice." he said; ''one right after the other Don't you know better than to he fooiin' with that alarm. If you have to have something to play with I'll get you q baby rattle" MT. Walker said that he had not been near the alarm button. He had been sitting at table writing letters. As they talked they heard the distant note of the alarm from the sheriff's office again. There it goes again. cried MT. Moeuer. wonder what in the devil is the matter with it?'' An investigation of the mys- tery developed the presence O; Mr. Walkers little grandson. who had been forgotten in the excitement He hal his finger against the button and was rapidly exhausting the contents of the storage battery.

RESPECTABLE SAIUGGLERS.


 When the matter was first systema- tically taken up by the present admin istration, it was thought that the chief offenders among the passengers, and the only ones who got any substantial pecuniary benefits out of the system. were certain people in business. Ex- perience since March has shown how erroneous was this impression. It has been found that ladies and gentlemen of the most immaculate responsibility have not scrupled to make false de- clarstions in order to escape the pay men or a few hundred or a few thou sand collars.
 Only recently there arrived a woman the daughter of a manufacturer who had to build up a great business under the fostering protection of the tariff. She boasted to her acquaintances on the steamer coming across that the 'courtesies Of the port" would be ex- tended to her. in consideration of the hi~h standing and the social. political a>l financial influence of her family. In her declaration. made at quarantine, she syyore that she had nothing duti- able in her baggage. Arrived at the dock. she found that the courtesies of the port were no longer extant. and that her baggage would have to be ex- amined just as any other persons. Her trunks were found to contain draperies and hangings and other dutiabie ar ticles on which a tariff amounting to

SECRET SERVICE


The United States secret service is wholly unlike the secret service bu- reaus of France and Russia Indeed. as pointed out by the Buffalo News. most of the foreign services are main tained for political purposes. especially to guard higher state officials. In this country the law authorizing the secret service establishment specifically pro- vides that it shall operate only to sup press the unlawful production of Unit ed States treasury notes and bonds. When it's officers are lent by the treas ury to other departments the expense for the movements must be borne by thece departments. Even when secret service gent is assigned to duty in the mint directors office his expenses must be met by the appropriation for the mint bureau. At present SlCO.0O0 is al- Iotted by congress for the support Of this service. This sum is said to be wholly inadequate. and at the next ses- sion Of congress a vigorous effort will be made to expand the scope or the ser vice and enlarge its appropriation.
 Agents entering the secret service un- dergo rigid mental and physical ex- animation, conducted personally by the chief of the division. The qualifications prescribed include a thorough knowl edge of criminal methods and famil- arity with the law. such as is practi- cally gained by police experience as well the intellectual ability to dis criminate between evidence and suspi cious implications. This is essential in preparing for the presentation of a prosecution before a district attorney. Each agent. no matter where he is to operate. must be recommended by the chief. who has endeavored to. divorce politics from appointments. The civil service regulations contain special eX captions for the appointment of the treasury detectives.
 The average of the agents in the service at present is thirty-flve years. Most of the men received their detec- tive training while in the employ oI railroads, express companies, police de partments and private detective bu- reaus. Some of them served terms as sheriffs and others are skilled in some special way which adapts them for the work.
 One of the superadded duties of the secret service is caring for the presi dent. In the United States statutes there Is 9 provision prohibiting the em- ployment of private detectives by any branch Of the government. This law was passed nearly ten years ago. after the Homestead strikes, and at that time the question was agitatcd of leg islating against the employment of PinSerton agents by private corpc.a- tions. Thus officers must be borrowed from the secret service when a presi- dents body guard Is needed.
 The United States is divided into twenty-five secret service districts. each having 9 superintendent in charge and the necessary assistants. The dis tricts are arranged with reference 10 the detection and suppression of coun- terfeiting. Western New York consti- tutes one district. A written report from each man in each district is daily exacted by the chief of the division.

A NEW CEREAL
That Is Especially Adapted to the
 Arid Region.

The Four Track News. monthly journal issued by the New York Cen tral Railroad company. quotes from the Great Round World the following which will be of interest to the farmers of the arid region. and especially to the farmers or the Salt River valley:
 'America's cereals furnish q safer basis for national power than the armies of Germany or the fleets of France. In this connection it is O. special interest to Americans to learn that the department of agriculture has brought from the deserts of the UraI new wheat-new to this country which. it has been proven. will flourish in that region known as our arid west and yield forty bushels to the acre on soil where rone of our other cereals will grow. This new cereal of the wheat family. is destined to become one of cur most valuable products and to 1t falls the honor of reclaiming millions Of acres heretofore regarded sterile"

who was for several years a Chicago newspaper man, bec;lIne the chief of the secret service bureau. He began at once to reorganize the service. Each agents record was examined. and g humber of men were dropped from the service. Under the reorganized system men are severely dealt with for drink ing and tying. All officers taken in the service in the last twp years were pre- viously trained in some detective work.
 The agents now most under the gaze of the public eye are Foster, Gallagher and Ireland. George Foster has been in the ser.'ice about ten years. He is about forty three years old. and has e powerful physique. He lived at San dusi1y, Ohio. for several years. was dcorkesper of the Ohio legislature, was assistant .doorkeeper of the house of representatives in Washington and was then appointed as custodian of the secret service bureau. He was selected for Mir. McKinley's guarc because of his strength.
 Gallagher was trained in Chicago in some private police work. and entered the service in Washin sJon about twelve years ago. His record shows that he is an alert and active man. who has served with credit in emergencies. Ire land has been in the service two and q half years. He was graduated in law and had experience as a newspaper man. All of these men had records full of exciting and dangerous detective ex- periences. Caring for the president being an adopted duty of the division, Foster was borrowed to take along to Buffalo. and Ireland and his assistant, Gala gher. who were permanently sta toned there. co-operated with him. While these men have been severely criticized for not preventing the presi- dents assassination. there has been no charge of any kind made against them.
 The United States secret service had Its origin in the early sixties. under the auspices of the war department. It ac- tually grew out Of the fact of Captain Lafayette F. Baker. of the Union army offering his services to Secretary Sew ard as q police scout to gather informa- ton concerning the confederate army. During the war the United States be- san the Issuance of iyreenbacks. Then came the first appearance of green goods" men. By an act of congress. in 1861 or 1862, S1O.OO0 was appropriated for the maintenance of Bakers service to suppress counterfeiting. The supervis- ion Of the service was then under the solicitor of the treasury. In 1880 the service had grown to be almost indis- pensable. and an appropriation of ST0,- Oc0 was obtained fo- it's support. In that year it's supervision was placed in the hands of the secretary Of the treas ury- For the last two years congress has allotted Si00.0O0 for the service; it has been advanced to the g.ode of division

FIGHTING CANCER WITH x-RAYs.

The beneficial effect of X-ray treat ment upon cancer has been reported several times within the last few weeks. The most recent instance is that or an Atlanta man, F. A. Heard The case was described a few evenings ago ro the local society of medicine by Dr. NJ
 E. Hutchins. Epithelioma or skin can cer. develcped on the patients lower lip eight years ago. slowly spread, and finally attacked the jawbone Rontgen rays were tried several times last spring, and within a month the trouble was apparently overcome. Since that time there has been no relapse Not long ago Chicago physician declared that he had cured fifty cases by the same means, but inasmuch as no de- tails were supplied that sweeping an nouncement is not SO convincing as the Atlanta story. although it is probably not without some foundation.
 The principal use to which the x-rays have been Tut since their discovery five or six years ago is the expIoration of the body, to detect fractures. disIoca- tions, the presence of foreign bodies tniore especially bulIets) and the ef
 fleets of disease upon soft tissues. But numerous attempts have also been made to accomplish cures herewith. Pulmonary consumption was one of the first disorders eXperimented with, but no encoura cement was secured In ternal cancer was treated with X-rays in Paris as long ago as 1896. Here. again, the consequences were disap- pointing. perhaps because the trouble had reached too advanced stage The progress of the disease was not stayed. nor death s.verted, although tempor- ary diminu-ion of pain was noted. The most satisfactory results appear to have been reached in dealing with ec- zema. lupus and other skin diseases. Two years or more ago Finsen told the world about his success in fighting these disorders with an arc light. And within few months it was found that N-rays were almost equally efIicacious. In the mean time fresh experiments were tried with cancer. Boston. PhiIa-

delphia and other American cities re- ported them. Dr. Francis H. Williams of Boston. author of n recent work on Rontgen rays. mentions several cases that came within his own Knowledge and that indicated Improvement or complete cure where treatemen began early enough.
 While II appears that this particular use of \-rays is not new, 1t is appar- ent that the idea has attracted increas- ed attention within year or two. Un- fortunately, neither the medical pro fession nor the general public yet knows how many times this agent haT been tried on cancer without effect The proportion of successes to failures might be one to three, or it might be one to a thousand. Hence it is i'm possible just now to form any defi- nite idea of the value of this system of treatement. Under these circum- stances it is wise to guard against cherishing extravangant expectations Nevertheless. the few well attested in stances will unquestionably stimulate further experiments and inspire the hope that a more effective and less paiful means than surgery has been found for fighting one of the worst ills to which flesh is heir.-New York T l. bf-ua

ADVERTISING LOST MONEY.

Tt is always amusing to me" said the thoughtful man, ''when I read of reward being offered for the return of lost money. It always seems to me that if the money falls into the hands of an honest man he would be only too glai to see the loser get it. but if. on the contrary, it should fall into the hands oi a dishonest man, why. money spent on the advertising of Q reward would be merely thrown.a unless the re ward equalled the amount lost.
 "A number of years ago an old man living in the same town tha- I did, and who had the reputation of being very close, lost a roll of bills amounting tn several thousand dollers. It was q mys- tery to everyone how he let go of it long enough to lose it, but he did, and spent several days rushing around town locking for it. but without src- cess.
 Finally some one suggested the ad- visibility of offering q reward for th" return of the lost money. He objected to this as costing him too much, but at last he opened his heart and offered the sum of one dollar to the finder. A few days later he received by mail a one dollar note. together with a letter, to the effect that he could have the re- ward and the finder would keep the rest for his trouble -''-Detroit Free Press.
