meet with the terminus at Cedarvale,

miles would connect with the terminus
at Owasso, l. II. It is likely that one of
these connections will be made. In all
probability it Will be the one at Cedar

now worrying her parents and friends
A consultation of doctors was immed-
lately called After investigating the
case the doctors decided there was no
immediate cause for alarm, and that
while she was suffering from peculiar
and unusual malady, no harmful effect
would result.
The exact nature of the disease has
not yet been determined. This is not
the first time she has slept like this"
said Mrs. Brille. Bessie has been sick
more or less during all her life and has
a very weak constitution. About two
years ago she experienced a sleeping
spell similar to the one she is undergo
ing now.
"She seems to want to be left alone
continued Mrs. Brille. I'VE rouse her
quite often, but she appears to dislike
being molested. She scarcely ever
speaks and apparently dtslikes being
talked to.
FOR nearly a week the child did not
eat a mouthful of food. We gave her
milk to drink She seems to be in sort
of Stupor all the time. We rouse her up
and take Ter to walk or drive occas-
ionally but she seems not to take any
interest whatever in things AS soon
as we return to the house with her and
she can sit or lie down and be quiet she
closes her eyes and is lost In slumber
again. She will sleep then day and
night until she is reused again, with
hardly any signs of life
THE only time we were ever really
alarmed concerning her was on Sum
day. She seemed to be sinking; grew
very weak and seemed to sleep deeper.
It was only temporary however and af-
ter we reused her she appeared just
the same as usual"
A peculiar phase of the case is that
the sleeping girl never seems to recog-
nize any one even when she has been
reused up for walk or drive. The
members of the family and the doctors
are wondering how long the strange
phenomenon will last

CHARGED WITH FORGERY.
Ex-Treasurer of Clyde Charged With
$4,000 Shortage.

Clyde Kas.. July 9.-Charges of for
gerry have been preferred against Arch
J. Patterson. former city treasurer, by
Mayor George Hays. The preliminary
hearing has been set for Wednesday.
1t is not unlikely that additional
charges of embezzlement will be insti-
tuted. The amount of Patterson's
shortage is in the neighborhood of So
600, and was first discovered when the
city a few months ago decided to re-
fund a part of the outstanding bonds,
and it was found that three of the
bonds, of $1,000 each, which Patterson
claimed to have paid and which were
so entered upon his loosely kept books,
were still held by the fiscal agents in
New York.
When confronted with the matter he
claimed to be in possession of the re-
ceipts. but further pressed he acknowl-
edged that he had not paid any of them
and set up a defense that the money
had been collected from the joints and
the city could not therefore legally hold
him for it.
After unlimited indulgence. Patterson
was arrested by Sheriff Moore and
taken to Concordia last Saturday,
where his bond. furnished by his father,
was made 81 900 n ore.

ager H u Nudge. in speaking Of the
code told of in yesterdays State Jour
nal, lis simply a revision OF the Old
code It is drawn up upon the general
plan Of the American Railway assOcia-
ton CODE At the meeting in Chicago
last week,we made a. few more changes
which will be embodied IN the book
when it is printed.
For year the book has been stand
ing in type at the Hall company's plant
in this city. No copies have ever been
printed, but we have had several proofs
taken for our use in revising it. The
changes which were made last week
will be made in the type. and the books
printed without delay. 1t will perhaps
be week or two before the first cop
les appear. We will distribute the
books from Topeka.
1t has been our custom to issue a
few new regulations every time we is
sued a time card. The new code is
practically nothing but a compilation
of the rules printed on the time cards.
It will make quite large book. There
are no changes Of any Importance
made in this code over the code which
is now in use"

PLACE FOR EVANS.
May Be Offered the Position
Vacated by Dawes.

New York, July according to a
dispatch to the World there is a gen
eral feeling in official circles in Wash
ington that the resignation of Comp
trol1er Dawes has presented a solution
of the controversy regarding the con-
tinuance of Commissioner Evans at
the head of the pension bureau.
An impression prevails, the dispatch
says, that the president has already
determined to appoint Mr.. Evans to
be comptroller of the currency. This
would be in the nature of a promotion
for the salary is more and the term of
Office longer.

sBRIcKv PoMERoY's TUNNEL
Story of How a Gigantic Undertaking
Was Abandoned

~ as AOauQOuGd
The Atlantic and Pacific tunnel was
started nearly 20 years ago by Brick"
Pomeroy, then a resident OF Denver,
and to which he gave his name It was
the basis of a railroad project between
Denver and Leadville and Salt Lake
City, and pierces a spur of Gray's peak
at the headwaters of a tributary of the
Blue river. The surveyed length of the
tunnel is five miles. and it has been
driven a little more than 5000 feet An
immense amount of stock in the tun-
mel was sold by Pomeroys who pushed
the work as long as the money lasted.
but it did not last long enough and
work ceased long before Pomeroy died
John A. Ratchford, one of the incor-
porators of the new railroad to be built
from Salt Lake to Denver, bought the
tunnel franchises and rights last March
at sherid's sale. and since then has
been frequently in Denver on business
connected with it,
