melted. Now add one ounce six drains

Fossil, Or. Dec. 18.-White-ho from
its passage through space meteori e
swept over the heads of two men on the
range, Is miles south of Fossil in
VIII eler county, and struck the ground
short distance away, sizzling on the
frozen ground. The men were given a
bad scare and flattened themselves out
on the ground with involuntary una
nimity.
Robert Wilson, of this place, was on
an inspection trip to his sheep range on
the John Fox homestead on Muleshoe
mountain. He was talking with his
herder. Oscar Fritz, on the evening Of
December 9, when the aerolite burst
suddenly from the darkness and, pass
ing close to them, with sharp, sizzling
sound, struck the earth with marked
thud about 400 yards away.
Keeping their eye on the star, which
struck down the hill from where they
were standing, the men ran to the SPOT
of which they never lost sight, as the
fallen body glowed like a redhot fire
They found it to be fiat, irregular
mass. with an average size of about is
inches across the top, but too hot to be
handled that evening, so they left it un
touched until the next morning, when
they dug it up and Mr.. Wilson brought
it home with HIM to Fossil, where it
may be seen by the curious at the drug
store.
1t is a small aerolite, weighing %
pounds, of porous nature like pumice
stone, but much heavier for it's size and
darker, being nearly coal black.
The ground being frozen hard and the
aerolite thin and flat. it sank into the
ground but few inches, and was easily
extracted.

relative to his territory, will have no

Of any members on this continent.

The next largest amount is that OF
Representative Cushman, of Tacoma,
Wash. $14l2, on 1881 miles. Mr.. Cush-
man was not able to be present at the
opening Of the present session, on &C
count OF private business, and when the
indications were that there would be an
adjournment of Congress without date,
he made a quick trip across the contin-
ent and so has mileage claim.
Representative Gillett, of the First
District in Southern California, is fourth
among the House members, with $1367,
on 3419 miles. Representative Her
mann comes fifth, with $l364, on a
mileage of 3412. The four Senators
from the two states of Washington and
Oregon get approximately the same
amounts, about 1880, and lead the list
of the members of the upper branch in
the matter of mileage fees. The two
California Senators draw about $1,000
each.
Altogether the Pacific Coast States
have a fine thing. California alone,
with two Senators and eight Represent
atives, receives more than $12 900 in
or nearly twice as much as the
state of New York, with two Senators
and 81 Representatives. New York s
amounts TO about $1,000. while
that of Oregon, with two Senators and
and two Representatives, amounts to
$4,000.
Each of the New York City Repre-
draws an allowance for 24O
miles or $96. Thus the entire mileage
for New York City, which has II Req
resentatives is only $1,000.

Can't Use His Photo.

Byrn Mawr, Del, Dec. 16.-President
Roosevelt has fatty refused to permit his
portrait to appear on the banner OF the
Orangemen. The members ~of the
Roosevelt True Blue Lodge of Orange
men recently organized here, wrote the
president announcing that they intended
painting his portrait on the handsome
lodge banner, and intimating that they
would be proud to march the streets
with the picture of such dstln guished
Chieftain.
One of the members has just received
a letter from Secretary Loeb, in which
the president thanks the lodge for giving
it bis name, but adding:
"The president withholds his consent
for the use of his photograph on the
banner of any fraternal organization"
This letter has been forwarded to
Joseph Whtecroft, master, and S. J.
Carroll, secretary OF the Byrn Mawr
lodge, and, it is said, at the next meet
ing of the lodge, action may be taken
toward changing it's name.

HIS MILEAGE BILL LARGE.
Hawaiian Delegate to Congress
Gets &S45O Per Term.


Washington. Dec. l7.-Before the ex-
g3iration OF the Fifty eighth Congress, Its
members will probably get three whacks
at the mileage account. This means a
considerable sum OF money for those
who live in states west of the Missouri
river.
The Pacific coast members will re-.
ceve for travelling expenses almost as
much as they get in salary for one full
years service. They are allowed 20
cents mile each way, and if they travel
ON passes Congressman from that section
ewill be in pocket approximately $500
each.

the snug sum of $3.50 during a single
term.
When Alaska and the Philippines
have delegates in the house, the mile
age will be well worth considering.
Should the rate OF 20 cents mile each
way 'be continued. and should there be
an extra session, the future delegate
from the Philippines, if he were allowed
to travel the longest route, would be en-
less than $35 OO0f for single term. This
7fseso tempting that an ambitious young
man would be justified in going to the
islands with the intention of trying to
be elected delegate to congress when
the Philippines become organized suffi
r.iently to be entitled to representation
in the House.
The mileage of congress costs the gov
.arnment about $4,000 a session, since
the membership of the house has been
increased. Each senator and represent
ative is now allowed a regular stipend
for travelling expenses which is known
as "inileage," and regulated according
to the number of miles travelled coming
from Washington to attend legislative
duties. The law provides that each
member shall be allowed 20 cents mile
going and coming. Thus the Sergeant
at Arms of each branch figures out the
distance of each member by the nearest
railroad or steamboat route, and multi
tple5 it by 40 cents, obtaining in this
manner the amount to be allowed each
session.
Mileage is allowed according to the
distance of each members home from

ansoie, prince Cupid" the delegate

MAN TO SALOONS.
ZenO Lamare Is Induced to Drink, and
Is then Dragged Into an Alley
and PIundered.

Edward Lamare, 45 Laurel street, was ar

and Pursuers Find No Trace.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
MUNCIE, Ind, Aug. 12-FrOm the resi-
dence of her uncle, DR.. w. S. Brandon, at
Daleville, pretty little Marguerite Tucker,
aged four, was kidnapped this morning by
her father but few minutes after the
hearse containing the dead body of the
child's mother had left for the cemetery
The father, Alfred Tucker, had deserted
her mother when the babe was only six
weeks old and had not been seen since. She
was granted divorce. In poverty she took
her child to the home of her wealthy rela-
tive, where she was received. A few weeks
ago the mother became i'll, and died three
days ago. To-day the funeral was held.
The child was thought too little to take
to the cemetery and was left to play about
the house. The cortege was just well on it's
way to the little cemetery when Tucker
drove up rapidly in buggy from the other
direction. He grabbed the child from the
porch and started toward Muncie. AS soon
as the child was missed posse organized i'm
pursuit of Tucker who had been seen driv-
ing away. few miles east of Yorktown he
abandoned the horse and buggy and caught
an eastbound interurban car for Muncie
Tonight the police secured the city in
search of the man, but could find no trace
of him.
Dr. Brandon will spare no effort or money
to recover the little girl, whom he intends
to adopt into his family.
