BUNKO MEN BUNKOED.
New York State Farmer Gets More
Than Even with Two smart Eel
lows from the City.


According to a country correspond
ent of the New York World Farmer
| Thomas j. Nearn, of Shawangmk, got
the better of pair of bunko men.
The first one, representing himself
as New York business man in want
of a country place. called on Nearn
and offered such a liberal price for his
farm that deal was soon made.
The two were looking about the
farm, and the purchaser was telling of
improvements he proposed to make,
when Bunko Man No. . put in an APP
pearance. He was roughly dressed.
and prOfessed to be a drover anxious
to buy stock. He acted as if half
drunk, and soon began Dragging of a
new game he had learned in New York
last week. Then, producing some
cards, he began throwing them clumsi-
ly and Offering TO bet that no one could
pick out the Joker"
The farm buyer made several wagers
and won easily, and then found it easy
to persuade the farmer TO try his
luck. The manipulator Of the cards
suddenly grew skillful, and very soon
lhe proceeds of Farmer Nearn's last
milk check, about $50, was in the drov-
er's pocket
With the loss of his money came the
realization that he had been victim
lied.
I've got some more money in the
house" said Nearn, "and III get it and
try my luck again. That dod-gasted
joker can't fool me allus."
He made a quick trip to the house,
and on his return pulled out, not a
roll" but a revolver, which he lev
eled at the bunkO men and told them
u throw up their hands.
They saw determination in the old
mans eye, and up went their hands.
His first care was to relieve them of
their revolvers. This done, he said:
"Now, hand over my money and all
the other cash you've got about your
measly carcassess
They handed it over.
Then he told them to "git," and they
"got."
Doing bunko men pays a burned
sight better and is heap more excit-
in than farmin'," he remarked to his
neighbors.

WINTER ABROAD.
Severely Cold Weather Experienced
In England, Germany and
Other Countries.

London, Nov. 19.-Intense cold has
set in throughout Europe, and in Eng
land the thermometer stands at 80
degrees Fahrenheit, accompanied by
biting easterly winds and storms along
the coast. Similar reports come from
Germany and other countries, and in
Austria winter has come unprece-
dentedly early. Fourteen degrees
Fahrenheit are recorded at Vienna,
and the weather is still colder in
Bohemia, Moravia and Galicia. There
has been heavy fall on the semmer-
ing pass, in the Austrian Alps. The
Adriatic is being swept by an icy gale
and the rivers in Russia are frozen
over. Skating is general in Austria
and in Switzerland. while in southern
Russia an intense black frost threat
ems the wholesale destruction of the
young winter crops.

GOOD PROGRESS MADE.
Report OF Chief Examiner Of Civil
Service COmmission-E1ten-
sion OF Service.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-The annual
report of A. r. Server, chief examiner
of the civil service commission, shows
that during the last fiscal year there
were 6o,55s people examined in and
for the classified service. of whom
4O,509 passed and 1925 were appoint
ed, promoted or transferred. In adj
dition LIZA persons were examined
for the Philippine service, of whom
$50 passed and 694 failed. The local
boards of examiners specially desig-
mated for the custodian service were
discontinued. On June 80 last the
total number of local boards of ex-
aminers was 1928, with total men,
bership of 3.723.
Final steps are now being taken TO
consummate the complete organiza-
ton of civil service district similar
to the Boston district, with headquar-
ters at San Francisco, in immediate
charge of a consolidated board of COM
missioners. The written examina-
tions required the preparation of 435
sets of examination questions on Diff
ferent subjects, which necessitatcd

sheets of tests.
Over 100000 sheets of examination
questions were handled. The great
completely of the work done under
the direction of Chief Examiner Ser
ven is shown by the large number of
examinations which include subjects
of a special, professional, scientifcal
or technical character. OF these there
| were POS examinations. in which S,257
! persons took part. Well-nigh every
| field of professional or scientific in
| quiry and research is represented in
the variety of the examinations.
The commission has held COMPETE
tive examinations in every state and
territory except Alaska. Several at
tempts at examination work in Alaska
have been attempted but abandoned.
Another effort, however, may. be made
soon. Facilities have been furnished
to residents of Hawaii to compete in
the general and local civil service ex-
aminations in Honolulu and Hilo, and
residents of Porto Rico hereafter may
take the general and local examina-
lions at Ponce and San Juan. Much
attention has been given during the
year to the upbuilding of the service
| in the Philippine islands.

L1FE-SAvING SERVICE.
Work Of the Governme emit in This Inn
portant Department During
the Past Year.

Washington, Nov. 2o.-The general
superintendent of the life-saving
service has rendered. his report for
the year 1902. It continues to show
most gratifying results of the work
of this humane organization.
The number of disasters to vessels
within the scope of the operations
of the service during the last year
was greater than ever Nefore with
the exception of the years 1898 and
1901, yet the loss of life was very
small. The number of lives lost from
documented vessels-those of five
tons burden or over-was only 10,
while six were lost from smaller
craft-sailboats, rowboats, etc.
making total of 25-a number far
below the average,
The number Of disasters to docu-
mented vessels was 3s5. On board
these vessels were 3,424 persons, of
whom 10 were lost. The estimated
value OF the vessels was $9,253, $50 and
that of their cargoes $5,139, $50, maxi
ing the total value of property in
volved $14,393,01O. Of this amount
ST., 125,220 was saved and $780,, 100
lost. The number of vessels totally
lost was 81. In addition to the fore
going. there were 361 casualties to
undocumented craft-sailboats, row.
boats, etc.-carrying 796 persons, six
of whom persisted. The value of
property involved in these instances
is estimated at $174,12o, of which
$167,575 were saved, and $6,545 lost.
The ife-saving crewsSaved and as
sisted in saving 434 imperiled vessels.
valued with their cargoes at SO ,567 ,220.
Of this number 1874, valued with their
cargoes at $977, 500, were saved without
assistance. In the remaining instances
the life-saving crews cooperated with
wrecking vessels, tugs and other
agencies, in saving property estimated
at 2,494 ,665, out of total of So. $50, 720
imperiled. The crews also afforded
assistance of greater or less impor-
lance to 661 other vessels, exclusive
of 237 instances in which vessels run
ming into danger were warned off by
the station patrolmen.
The net expenditure for the main
tenance of the service during the year
was 81, 654.392.

COUNTRY LAID WASTE.
Terrible Devastation Reported from
Guatemala-ThOu of Lives
Reported Lost.

San Francisco, Nov. 2O.-The first
of the refugees from the devastated
lands of Guatemala arrived Wednes-
day on the Pacific mail steamer City of
Para. They came from the districts
from the inland sea and Travelled over
country laid waste by sand, ashes
and pumice before reaching railway
station. From the latter places they
made the journey by rail to Cham
perico and there took the steamer to
San Francisco. They sailed on No.
vember Z, when the volcano was still
smoking and rumbling of thunder and
flashes of lightning gave evidence of
more eruptions to come. These people
fled from their plantations in fear for
their lives. They escaped to the sea-
side with little more than the cloth
ing they neutrality-suspicious. being so
difficult as to preclude the carrying of
baggage.
The refugees confirm stories of loss
of life. They say that the victims for
the most part are Indians. They had
not heard of any white people being
lost. Thousands of Indians were as
phyxiated or buried in the sand
Miles of plantations are under ashes.
and absolute ruin is the lot of many
planters whose all was invested in the
fincas. One refugee comes from
within half an hours ride of Gen.
Barrillos and brings information that
the general and his family are safe.
The refugees state that it is not the
crater of Santa Maria that is in action.
but a smaller mountain rising from
one of the western slopes of Santa
Maria. called Ell Rosaio. Bands of rob-
bers are now swarming the desolated
sections, robbing and numbering
refugees on the road and looting the
abandoned and desolate plantations.
The people left behind on the planta-
tions, it is said, are in danger of death
from starvation, for the food supply
has been cut off. and there is no way
to send in supplies to the afflicted dis

CAUSES BIG LOSS.
Thousands of Workers Idle and Many
Furnaces Closed Because of
Freight blockade.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov 17.-The fol-
lowing figures tell better than words
the menace to industrial prosperity
caused by the freight blockade in the
Pittsburg district: Miners idle, co.
900; mill men idle, $4,000; furnace
workers idle, 5000; others idle, co.
oco; daily loss in wages, $162,ooo. In
the Shenandoah and Mahoning val
leys and the Cleveland district there
were shut down Saturday % blast
furnaces. Miners are idle throughout
the Pittsburg district because enough
cars cannot be secured to keep them
going. An estimate of the number
of men so thrown idle places the fig
ure at 10000, and at time when the
output is sorely needed. Operators
are behind 100000 tons in ship
ments, with an estimated loss of ST.
100000. Fully 1900 additional cars
are needed.

BANK ROBBED.
Unusual Reward offered for the Cap
ture of Thieves Who stole 1890
in Sioux City, Ia.

Sioux City, Ia, Nov. 19.-The safe
in the Arthur Qa.) branch bank of
the Farmers Loan &, Trust company
of this city was blown open at an
early hour Tuesday morning by
burglars, who made their escape with
cash to the amount of $4,000. Soon
after learning of the robbery the
trust company took unusual steps to
secure the capture of the thieves.
The officers of the institution offered
$1,000 for the arrest of the robbers,
and accompanied the announcement
with a proposition to give to the cap
tors the $4,000 taken from the safe if
the money is recovered. The bankers,
it is thought, were moved to this step
by the unusually large number of
similar crimes committed in western
Iowa in the last few months, which
have cost the victims of the burglars
tens of thousands of dollars.
