A sensational arrest has grown ont oil
the last hold up" OF a stage couch near
Lakeview, Dec ~, The Lakeview "Ex.
aminer" says:
1t was known that 800 in currency,
gold and silver had been abstraoted
from the letters in the Paisley mail, and
that at least one OF the bills-a ten dol.
lor note-was marked and description
the bill carefully noted by the sender
Business men we've notified to keep a
lookout for this particular bill, and each
was given the number Of it;
When NJ, Il. Hart, of the Racket store,
learned the description OF this BILL on
Tuesday, hs went to his place of business
and found the fatal paper that will go
far toward the conviction OF the man
who passed 1t.
The man who passed that bill was
Bob oslesby, the driver who alleges that
he was held up by hishwaynan.
Sheriff Dunlap and Marshal Whorton
concluded that this was evidence sud-
cient to warrant an arrest, aud, con-
sequently, oglesby was taken in,o
custody. Tuesday evening, and was
charged with the serious crime Of rob.
bing the united States mails oglesby
was locked up to await his preliminary
axnmination.'
Tho arrest Of Bob oslesby on this
serious charge was great surprise TO
many people, rs he was iavorsblt known
and well liked generally, The fact that
the stage was late in arriving by about
one hour and a half, aud did not reach
here until long after dark that night-a
circumstance rather unusual-and the
further fact that oglesby passed the III
is,ed bill, are haye matters which he
will have to explain.
The accused young man was to have

SECURES FINE RELICS
American Museum of Natural Hie-
tory Adds to Its Exhibit.
Excavations on Long Island Bring to
Light Many Interesting and
Valuable Reminders OF
Prehistoric Days.

When the many relics of prehistoric
days which have recently been un-
earLhed at Weir Creek Point, near
Throgs Neck, are exhibited in the Amer
lean Museum of Natural History, that
institution will have come into posses
sion OF an archaeological collection Of
great scientific value.
Raymond Harrington, who is in
charge Of the museums local field work.
has met with unexpected success In his
latest Investigations at Weir Creek
Point, between Fort Slocum and City
Island. Skeletons, nrgilliie, imple-
ments Of antique shape, stone cooking
utensils, pottery beads and pip,s have
been found in shell heaps Stree Sep
tember IS, the pieces OF broken pot
terry and stone implements discovered
at the bottom Of the excavations being
much more crude than those near the
surface. This difference, Mr.. Harring-
ton says, tells Of the progress made in
the handicraft In hundreds OF years.
All of the relics come from period Of
disthnt antiquity.
Twenty skeletons, which have already
arrived at the museum, were found at
Port Washington, on Long Island.
where excavations were before the sci
entists began TO dig at Weir Creek
Point. They were found in pits about
four feet deep, which had been filed
with dirt, shells and broken pottery.
The skeleton of dog was found under
the skeleton of an adult In ore grave.
A stone arrow point between The ribs
tells how the canine died There were
fractures in the skull. Of two skele-
tons, probably warriors, found in n
single grave, and the bones OF three
children were unearthed together.
Mr.. Harrington's most important dis
coveries at Weir Creek Point have been
sonpztone cooking utensils. rolled
copper head. telling Of probable contact
with Lake Superior Indians, argillite
implements. 2 row points, stone knives,
bone IN plements and split bones. A
stone nhl. used in bow drill in the
manufacture of wampum, is regarded
as a valuable find.
Mr.. Harrington expects to find skele-
tons nsnr the borders OF the Weir
Creek Point shell heap. He believes
the Indians Of that village had more
respect fer their dead than TO bury
them in the piles Of refuse which the
shell heaps ultimately became.

MORR DELAY.
contraetoEs Unable TO Etnish Tor
pedo i'oats and Destroysrs In
Time sDecinsd.

There is more delay In the compile
tion Of the large number Of torpedo
boats and torpedo boat destroyers
which the government is building un-
der contracts at various yards in va
rious parts Of the country. A year
ago the navy department consented to
extend the time of the contractors en-
gagged on this work for l2 months. It
was expected that there would be no
difficulty in completing the craft
within that period. The delay was oc-
casioned, the contractors say, by the
scarcity OF steel.
The particular quality Of material
required was such as TO demand spe-
cial processes, and the steelmakers re-
fused TO take orders for the steel when
they were loaded up with other orders
requiring less care and producing
greater returns. The representations
were sustained by the department in
an inquiry conducted on its own ac-
count, and the contracts accordingly
were extended with the expectation
that there would be no more difficulty
and that the boats would be completed
by this time.
The years extension has expired, and
most OF the boats and destroyers are
still far from completion, many OF
them are but three-quarters ready
for trial, and a great deal Of work re-
mains 70 be done on board the ships be-
fore they can be turned over to the
government. 1t !. quite evident, say
thensval constructors, that there must
be another extension of time, or the
contractors will be subjected TO heavy
fines which will deprive them o. the
meager profit involved in the construc-
tion OF such small ships Of war as tor

and southern Oregon should not be

Again the hour OF the derided New
Years resolution. There is however, no
more worthy thing recorded than the
good resolution, necessary and prelimi-
nary to good accomplished. There Is no
better time, either, for the inauguration
OF good resolves than the beginning oil
this new year aud century. Thousands
Of people throughout the world will
resolve that the coming year shall be
the best year Of their lives and whether
they succeed or not their effort In tina
direction, however slight, can not fail Of
being productive Of good to themselves
and TO others. The next best thing to
success is honest failure. The effort is
the important thing after all. Those
who rise do 80 by constant effort. Any
laxity results In retrograde movement
and IL requires no effort to pursue
downward course. Effort In the right
direction is not 10 be desplsed or
derided, however inconsiderable II may
be. 1t counts In the aggregate and ils
influence can not be lost. Nothing that
Is elevating or ennobling is to be treated
with contempt and nothing is more
ennobling than an honest resolve for
better things, The element In the
matter most worthy Of derision Is the
ease with which good resolutions are 10
often abandoned and discarded and the
Encouragement which 80 often attends
slight failures. 1t should be more
generally comprehended that ultimate
success is generally achieved only after
many failures. II every person should,
at the beginning Of this year, 1901,
make an homes. resolution tn do In every
way the very best they are capable, the
