The holiday season the happiest Of
all the year is again upon us aud for
the next fortnight pocket pooks will
be kept open for the benefit of little
loving hearts and charity to the poor
and needy. The bright eager faces of
the boys and girls anxiously peering
into the many store windows about
town so handsomely filled with beauti-
full toys and presents in profusion
awakens one to the sense OF realization
that another year has sped by and that
some afrangen must be quickly
made with Santa Claus to fill the mil
lions of pairs OF stockings which will
be hung up ore week from next Thurs

THE WAGES OF GRAFT.

HONESTY is the best policy has
Il Il been made more than truism
by the report OF Joseph l.. Bristow on
the frauds in the postoflice depart
ment. Perry Heath finds himself in
. position to offer, if he were so i'll
clined, some interesting expert test-
mony on the wages Of graft. His fall
from place Of trust and confidence
in his party will give him pause to
estimate how much is hazarded and
how much is lost by men who place
their regulations and their characters
in the balance against the fruits OF
venality and corrupt greed.
When the risk OF public dishonor
and shame and the loss OF pestige and
influence are considered, the stupidity
OF boodling in the case of man like
Perry Heath is amazing. Leaving out
OF the question what ought to be the
paramount consideration with every
mantle enjoyment OF the self-re-
spect-.-the chance Of exposure and the
disaster that never fails to overtake n
man who is found out, should fortify
against temptation every man who
has anything to lose.
The relative positions Of Joseph l.,
Bristow and Of Perry Heath today
would seem to be all the argumen re-
quired to persuade men that dishon-
esty, from any point OF view from
which it may be regarded, is the worst
policy on the face OF the earth.

The New Metal, 5eIium

The discovery in Germany of a new
metal. called selium, by Edward Mol
lard, Frenchman, is reported to the
state Department at Washington. The
discoverer asserts that selium costs
only one-twelfth as much as alum
ium and is lighter and stronger. 1t
does not rust, and is therefore suit
able for shipbuilding. for the manu-
facture of pipes and for railroad con-
struction.
1t is asserted also, that as it Is
capable of taking a fine polish re-
sembling nickel, it would be desirable
for cooking utensils. It's hardness is
not quite equal to tnat of iron, but is
gl eater than that of lead or zinc. Its
power of resistance Is said to be great
er than that of iron, but less than that
of steel.-Mining Reporter.

At a late hour Monday evening no
more recruits could be found to fill
the gaps, and the game closed. Two

have suffered severely severely-but
they had an exhilarating time and
gained considerable experience. There
was $4,000 in coin and checks on the

SET A NEW PACE
B. & O. Train Ran l2S Miles
in il5 Minutes

CHICAGO Sept "A new world s
record for long-distanee running was
made by passenger train on the Bal
timore e Ohio railroad early this
morning. A stretch of 12S miles was
covered in 125 minutes. No steps
were made The distaneed traversed
is between Chicago Junction, Ohio.
and Garrett, Ind. During the run a
speed of eight-five miles an hour was
reached. This was the maximum.
Bursts of speed from seventy to sew
enty-five miles an hour were frequent.
The train was made up of five cars
and was pulled by locomotive No. 1460
in charge of Engineer William Dun
ton. This locomotive is of the new
Atlantic type, weighing 10000
pounds. 1t is the most powerful style
in service ON the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad. An extra large water tank
helped in this performance, saving
stops for water.
From Garrett into Chicago another
locomotive of the same type took the
train. On this run a speed of seventy
six miles an. hour was reached The
performance between Chicago June
tion and Garrett could have been dup
Heated had not the train been blocked
by a train ahead. This compelled
slowing down several times. The dis
tance of 131 miles between Garrett,
Ind, and South Chicago was, how
ever, covered in 153 minutes, making
the whole run OF 259 miles in 27S
minutes.

ent that Governor Sparks, of the
Sagebrush State, felt that the $1100
reward offered by Governor Pardee,
of this state, should be paid to the
captors Of the convicts before they
were turned over to the California Off
GERS, and this feeling on the part of
the Nevada Governor was communi-
Gated to Governor Pardee on the d Y
District Attorney Seymour of this
county made application for a requisi-
tion for the return of Murphy and
Woods to the California authorities.
Both governors kept the telegraph
wires hot with suggestions as to wha,
could be done and what should be
done in the matter. with the result
that on Saturday evening Governor
Sparks notified Governor Pardee he
would adopt the latter's suggestion,
that the Nevada officers deliver the
escaped convicts to the Folsom state
prison and then fileS their demands
and proof of capture with the state
board OF examiners.
The reQuisition papers are now in
the hands of Governor Sparks, and on
tomorrow (this being legal holiday

MOODY MAY RESIGN
And Senator Perkins May
Enter the Cabinet

WASHINGTON, Sept. There was
renewal in official circles today of
the declaration that Secretary Moody
will soon tender his resignation and
resume the practice of law. The in
timation comes from high authority.
President Roosevelt has been MAX
ing efforts TO retain all his cabinet
ministers until after the next election.
The purpose has been hindered by the
insistence of Secretary Root. who will
retire not later than January 1st next,
The action of Mr.. Root in refusing
to remain at the request of the Presi-
dent affords Mr. Moody an opportunity
to resign.
There is an impression here that
Secretary Moody may be displeased
a. the action of the President In
granting a three years leave of alb
sence to Lieutenant Peary to make
another dash for the North Pole after
the Secretary had refused the request
The President went over Moody's
head, and through Acting Secretary
Darling approved Peary's desire to
again go north.
