 Burlington, N. J., Dec 2S.-For sev- eral weeks articles of merchandise have been disappearing from the store of prominent Burlington mer- chant.

As he stepped up to the desk he was presented with a bill addressed to ",rhief, Dr. and which contained a list of all the articles that had been stolen from the store during the past month.
 "Now,'' said the merchant. ''you have the alternative of paying that bill or going to jail"
 "I'll pay,' murmured the man, without a moments hesitation.
 He did so. the bill was receipted. and he was allowed his liberty, with best wishes for merry Christmas.

Boy by Giving It Liquor.
 New Haven. Dec 2S.-Francesco Iannotti, aged ? years and months, who lived with his parents at 33T East street. died at his home Satur- day. He had been ill fifteen hours, and pr Mariani, who had been called in, certified that the cause of death was alcoholism. The death certificate was presented to Clerk Buckley at the office of Registrar Carr and he was asked for a burial permit. Tn view of the age of the child, and the cause of death, he thought that the proper legal authorities should be mo- tlhed and the matter be investigated. He presented the matter to Medical Examiner Bartlett. who began an of ficial investigation.
 Dr Mariani stated that the parents of the child celebrated Christmas by drinking liquor and considered it only proper that the child should have it's share. They gave it three or four cordial glasses of rum and a glass of wine. Medical Examiner Bartlett was informed of the facts of the case by Dr Mariani. He will report it to Coroner Mix.

TALK OF
A DOUBLE
TRACK
RumOr that Southern Pacific
viii Soon Build II.
Its0fflcialS Decide to Regrade
Twelfth Street

-
There Is a rumor in railroad circles
TO thse effect that the Southern Pa.
cihc company has In contemplation
the construction and equipment OF a
double track between Portland and
San Francisco. While this rumor, as
is the case with all reports concern.
ing the intentions OF transportation
companies. lacks Official confirmation,
still II is given greater credence than
the average report. The report of a.
few weeks ago that the Southern PA.
cihc Company proposed placing ad
ditional trains on It's Oregon.C allfor
mia line, adds color to the subsequent
report that a double track Is to be
provided. since II is quite an apparent
fact that because OF the immense traf
hc in both freight and passenger de
partments. n single track is entirely
inadequate to meet the requirements
OF the company. From an economical
point OF view. Il Is figured that the
double track plan will prove a decided
advantage and q paying investment
The operation Of freight trains ON the
line as Il Is now constructed, is per
ennially congestod to the annoyance
and Inconvenience OF both the trans.
p%ortetion company. the merchant and
the producer. This congestion OF traf
hc n only be relieved by a double
track which would admit OF the run
ming or OF a greater number OF trains,
The demand for an improved service
TO meet the needs OF the roast section
has been growing annually and will
continue to grow with the settlement
OF the Pacific Coast states by the
hundreds Of new comers who are now
locating here.

PRICES
NOT YET
CHANGED
School Land Still at $1.25
per Acre
Board viii Probably Let
Them 60 at That

IL is not believed that the price
for state school lands will b. advanced
at this time. Governor Chamberlain
who with Secretary Dunbar and Treas.
ured Moore, constitutes the State
Land Board has maintained that more
money for the school fund should be
derived from the sale OF these lands.
Under the old law. previous to its
amendment at the late Legislature,
these lands were sold at s1.25 per
acre and no purchaser was entitled
TO the purchase from the state OF
more than 320 acres. At the last SEES.
sion OF the legislature the law was
amended TO the extent that the selling
price OF all school lands was raised
from Sl.25 to $3.50 per acre. In the
absence Of an emergency clause. the
law as amended. does not go into ef.
feet until next month. In conse-
quence OF the assured rise in price.
these lands are being extensively pur.
chased and by the time the provisions
of the amended law become operati.
i've. much OF the most desirable school
lands will be in the hands Of private
purchasers.
II was the intention OF the Board
at It's regular meeting on Tuesday
afternoon to consider the %adiysability
OF increasing Immediately the sale
price Of these lands and not wait until
the provisions OF the amended law go
into effect. hut the time of the meet.
ing was quite entirely consumed In
hearing a number of contests owe
lands that are In dispute aud the mat.
ter received no consideration. Since
the law as changed will 20 into effect
so soon. II Is not likely that the Board
will make any changes at this time.
But the Board under the law now has
the right To fix the price az which
these lands are to bee sold but II II
provided that none shall be sold for
less than $I.25 an acre.
