your candidate for the legislature in

Royce. Never makes mistake. It's
only the fool pops and the incompetent

Won't that sheriff'S proclamation

The fact that vile partisan law

progress along these lines in the navy,
however, is not to be charged to Ad-

be assigned to the work of thoroughly
equipping themselves by investigation

tant field, and who has already recon-
mended that such assignments could

REDEEM1NG UNUSED STAMPS.
viii Take the Government a Few
Years and Cost Millions.

WASHINGTON, d. c. October o.
When Congress repealed the Spanish
war stamp tax act and provided for the
redemptions of the unusued stamps, 1T
had no idea that it was imposing a
task on the internal revenue commits
sioner that would take five or six years
to complete, or that 1t was furnished
a demand on the treasury for anywhere
from So 900, 900 to $1,000 600 But before
the last of the unused documentary
stamps has been redeemed the cost to
the government both in labor and trea-
sure will be as indicated above.
The fact that Uncle Sam imposed a
tax of cents on bank checks to help
pay for the war with Spain will have
passed from the memory of most per-
sons long before the weary clerks in the
Treasury Department get through their
job of counting and recOunting the
stamps that have been sent in for eX-
change. The treasury officials have
long since given up the idea of de-
termining the number of these stamps,
and they now estimate their quantity
by tons.
E. c. Johnson, chief of the stamp di-
vision said today he calculated that $50
tons of stamps and check books had
been received to date. But the end is
not yet. Every day the eXpressman
drives up TO one OF Ine uOOrS OF lne
Treasury building and leaves from fifty
to seventy-fve boxes and bundles ad-
dressed to e. c. Johnson, Scamp Divi-
sion Treasury Department Washing
ton, d. c. The only encouraging thing
about the business is that the size of
the packages thus delivered is gradual
ly decreasing, indicating that the great
est holdings of stamps and check books
have been sent in.
In addition to entailing a heavy eX-
pense upon the department in counting,
checking off, and paying for these
stamps, the redemption process has
assumed such proportions as now to
figure prominently in the treasury
finances. Secretary Shaw must take
into consideration prospective drafts
amounting to $S0OOOOO or $l000O,000
from Commissioner Yerkes in estimat-
ing probable deficits and SURPRISES.

THE CALIFORNIA
NATIVE INDIANS
LAND DEAL BY A BOARD OF COM
MISSIONERS OF WHICH BISHOP
RESTARICK WAS A MEMBER.

SAN DIEGO, October S.-Tomorrow
morning the deal for the sale of the new
location for the Warner Ranch Indians
to the Government will be closed. The
last of the releases from those having
any title to the land arrived this even
ing and the title will be cleared upon
the records of the county and turned
over to the United States.
The lands embrace a total tract Of
1900 acres and lie between f. More's
place and the Sickler mill in the Pala
valley, and are about four miles west
of the Pauma ranch. The Pala mission
building and graveyard belonging to
the Landmarks club goes with the other
land.
The amount paid is, in round figures,
$4S 900. The remainder of the appro-
priation of $4,000 is to be used at once
in buying other watered lands over the
county. OF the $4,000 set aside for
moving the Indians to their new loca-
ton, $4,000 is to be used at once in
cementing and repairing present exist
ing bitches which carry 1877 inches Of
water to irrigate land in the valley.
Richard Egan of CapistranO is to have
charge of this work.

and securing them. He says that the
transactions spoken of in the above dis

years. 1t is an effort on the part of the
government to make amends to some of
its wards for neglect suffered during
the times following the transfer Of
California from Mexico to the United
States, and since.

THE KANSAS ELECTION.
Tho Sunfower state to Elect q Full State
Ticket and Eight Congressmen-f
Both Parties Confident.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 4.-Kansas to-
day will elect a full state ticket and
eight congressman. The republican
and democratic chairmen both pro-
TESS their confidence in complete sue
cess at the polls. A n%on-partisan
view of the situation last night makes
It appear that the republicans will
elect their state and congressional
tickets. The democrats, on the other
hand, are almost sure to make gains
In the legislature. They have been
devoting most of their effort to this
during the closing week Of the cam
paign. They have taken advantage
Of the division existing among the
republicans in certain counties as a
result of the senatorial contest, and
think that the chances are good for
them to control the lower house.
In Topeka the local interest is at
fever heat, being centered on the
contest for county officers inaugu-
rated by the temperance people
against the regular republican candi-
dates,

MARRIAGE BOOKS OPEN.


Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 1.-THE Kan
sas City court Of appeals decided that
the county official who issues mar
riage licenses must make an entry
in q book open to public inspection
Of each marriage license when it is
issued. This decision is important
because it will put a stop to the
practice, 80 long followed in Mis-
souri,, Of s~uppressing marriage Ii
censes. It has been the custom Of
some recorders to suppress marriage
licenses when the couple would pay
a fee for 1t. The courts decision was
made in the case Of Hugh Stephens,
editor Of a newspaper in Jefferson
City, against Osborn L. Moore, e
corder Of that county. Moore had a
feeling Of enmity for Stephens and
would not let him have the list Of
marriage licenses for publication in
his paper, but allowed rival papers
to have them.

At Hymen's Altar.

The cake at English weddings is al
ways a star feature. Usually at a
fashionable affair 1t Is fully six feet
high and is a marvellous architectural
structure Of icing adorned with flowers
and figures.
A new fashion was introduced at the
earl of Crewe's wedding. Lord Ches-
terrified, the best man, carried a cane.
He did not seem to find 1T in the way
when attending to his duties, such as
handing the groom the ring, etc. How
ever, 1t is not likely the idea will be
universally adopted.
Northern India and the island Of
Banquey can certainly claim to have
the most peculiar marriage rites Of any
country. In the former, a COW and a
calf are invariably required at the
marriage. The animals are driven into
a narrow running stream, the priests
and the betrothed couple also standing
in the water. The man and woman
each catch hold Of the cows tail, and
the priest pours water out Of a glass
vessel upon their Joined hands, while
all present mutter certain prayers. The
young folk are then declared to be man
and wife, and the priest claims the COW
and calf as his fee.

FARMER LOGAN LOST.
Mlssourlan Sued the Railroad Company
for Damages Because He Was Burned
While Fighting Fire.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 4.--The Kan
sas city court of appeals handed
down an interesting decision Monday
in the case Of A. A. Logan, Of Schuy-
Ter county, who sued the Wabash
railroad for damages. The Wabash
road ran by his farm. Sparks from
n locomotive set fire to Logan's hay,
and while putting out the fire Logan
became surrounded with flames and
was badly burned. The court of ap-
peals declares that for these inju-
ries he has no cause of action against
the railroad company.

Missoula, Mont, Nov. 4.-0ne Of the
biggest robberies that has ever oc-
Cured in the history of western Mon
tana was enacted near Plains. A
wealthy Flathead Indian named Mat
chell was robbed of $4,000 in cash.
Matchell was a visitor In Plains, and
In his absence at night, a man
dressed as a squaw visited his home
on Camas prairie and engaged in con-
versation with Matchell's squaw.
Mrs. Matchell noticed that the visitor
was not an Indian squaw, but a white
man, as he could not talk good Flat
head, but she did not suspect any
thing wrong at first. Finally she saw
two men run from an outbuilding
carrying something with them. The
wealth had been stored in that build
ing. The robbers leaped upon their
horses, which were nearby, and the
one that had been talking to her
Joined them. The three hurried away.
Matchell is the wealthiest Indian
on the reservation. He has large
herds Of cattle and horses and was al
ways known to have money. Few
people knew he kept it at home in
an old trunk in an ou%tbuilding.

THE ISTHNIAN CANAL
The Situation Clearer for q Re.
sumption Of Negotiations.
TREATY FOR CANALS CONSTRUCTION.
Il Can Be Complsted by the Contracting
Parties Within Thirty Days and the
President Could send II to the Sen.
ate In the Coming Session.

Washington, Nov. 4.-With the re-
turn of Secretary Hay to Washing
ton Senior Concha may resume nego.
tiations for a canal treaty, which
have been interrupted by complica-
tons arising out of the situation on
the isthmus. The legation has been
expecting important dispatches from
Bogota containing special instruc-
tons for Mr.. Concha on some of the
delicate points. But the arrival of
these need not necessarily be await
ed, it was indicated at the legation
yesterday, as the advices which have
recently been received by the minis
ter have indicated that the situation
has been clearing so as to permit Of
a resumption of negotiations. Mr..
Herran, secretary to the legation,
called at the state department yes
terday with a note from the minister
making inquiry as to when Secre-
tary Hay would return.
The belief of some of the officials
here Is that II the matter Ia expe-
dited a treaty for the construction Of
the canal can be completed by the
contracting parties within 80 days,
thus enabling the president to send
1t to the senate early in the coming
session. Senior Concha's instructions
are ample and complete to enable
him to proceed with the negotiations
and the understanding is that they
will be resumed almost Immediately.
Many Of the features Of the proposed
are fully covered by the proto-
,ol heretofore agreed on between the
governments Of Colombia and the
United States, but there yet remain
three points Of great Importance
which will require some delicate
handling to be acceptable to the
government. These re-
ate to the question Of sovereignty
md the exclusion Of Panama and
Jolon from the free zone, the mat
,er of indemnity, and, thirdly, that Of
he lease, which, while not being one
n perpetuity, will have that practi-
al effect.

CIVILIZATION CAUSING DEATH
Natives Of the Arctic Coast Dropping On
Like Rabbits Through Taking Up the
White Mans Habits.

San Francisco, Nov. 4.-Thousands
Of natives in Hoischel island and
along the Arctic coast are dying from
the measles. The news vas brought
by the whaling steamer Jeanette,
which arrived Sunday from a whaling
cruise. Capt. Newth, Of the Jean
nette, said yesterday: "At least rs
per cent. of the natives along the

bits and there seems to be nothing

such, attracted large numbers of yis-

the present accommodations, and the

Criminals and Their Aliases.

"It's a curious fact" remarked an
old police official, "that when a Grim
inal chooses an alias he nearly always
selects one having his own Initials.
Whether this Is merely instructive or
whether It Is done to correspond with
markings on linen and so forth l have
never been able to determine. AS a
rule, crooks display little Imagination
In the coming of names. When one
of them tells a cock-and-bull story to
an officer and Tugs in a few fictitious
characters, the christening Is not apt
to extend beyond Smith, Jones, and
Brown, and that reminds me, by the
way, of a curious incident. Some years
ago a young chap named Will Meyers
murdered a farmer near Atlanta, and
after an exciting chase was caught In
Cincinnati. He insisted, after arrest,
that the crime had been committed by
a man named Brown-Allen, and when
investigation showed the story to be
palpably false a good deal Of curiosity
was expressed as to why he should
have chosen that peculiar, hyphenated
name. One day a detective was stand
ing in a stairway which led to a room
formerly occupied by the young muir
derer, and, happening to glance across
the street, read the two names, Brown
Allen on a large gilt sign over a drug
store. The inscription was really
Brown 4 Allen but a telegraph pole
obscured the e. That solved the mys-
terry. No doubt Meyers had often stood
at just that point aimlessly studying
the street, and unconsciously the sign
became so firmly impressed on his
brain that when he cast about, on the
spur of the moment, for a name for the
imaginary assassin, he Immediately
thought of Brown-Allen. As he escaped
from Jail and Is now at large, he
might tell us, II he desired, whether the
theory is correct, but l am willing to
bet money on it.'-Phlladelphia Item.
