Shot Train Robber.

Portland, Ore, Sept. 24.-The At
lantic express on the Oregon Railroad
and Navigation Line. which left here
at S.15 o'clock last night. was held up
by four masked men an hour later near
Corbett station, twenty-one miles east
Of this city. One Of the robbers was
shot and killed by Express Messenger
Fred Korner and Engineer Ollie Bar
rett was seriously wounded by the
same bullet After the shooting the
robbers fed without securing any
booty.
Shortly after the express train bear
ing the Sheriffs posse arrived at the
scene, one Of the gang OF outlaws was
found a short distance up the track
badly wounded from charge Of buck
shot which he had received in the head.
He was placed on board the Sherirs
special train. which was turned around
and headed for Portland. where il ar
rived at 4 o'clock this morning.
The bandit says his name is jim
Connors. and that he is from Portland
but refuses to make known the names
of any of the other bandits or the di-
rection in which they went.
Philadelphia. Sept. PA prominent Of.
hcer Of the University OF Pennsylvania.
who is in close touch with all the ath-
letic affairs Of the college says that there
/ Is absolutely no hope of an Army and
Navy football game this fall.
When asked If there were any other in
+ nuences at work than those given out by
the academies. that Is. the disagreement
concerning the playing by West Point OF
Iex-coilege players. he said:
No. I am absolutely certain that the
eligibility question is the only one. and
both academies are so firmly fixed in their
opinion that / have given up all hope Of
seeing a game played this fall.
This is all the more unfortunate from
the fact that this fall we will have the
finest field in the country to offer for the
event which has come TO be looked upon
by US and so many persons throughout
the entire country as one of the pleas
antest and most brilliant features of the
football season.
Despite the many rumors from both
West Point and Annapolis that the Army
and Navy are patching up their differ
ences It is now weli understood among
University athletic authorities that the
game is OF for this season at least.

Tire handsome sum of $4,000
was paid into the game warden
fund last year as the product OF
licenses, fines and sales of confiscated
game. IF there is any balance at
the close of the fiscal year it should
be paid into the treasury but Mr..
Kempf does not report any receipts
from that fund. However there is
a great swarm of game wardens and
as some of them work thirty-one
days in February and June, and
as there is no close season when the
hunting down of stalwarts is sus-
pended, it is quite likely that the
fund is fully exhausted.-White-

From California.

By the courtesy of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Pratt we are permitted to
publish the following interesting
letter from their son Harry.
San Jose, Cal, Sept. s, 1908.
Dear Parents:
Your welcome letters received and
read. We drove with the Gardeners
TO the Lick Observatory on Mt.
Hamilton. We started early in the
morning, long before the roosters
had aroused their families. AS we
drove towards the Diablo range
east of town the sun, just rising,
cast the shadows of the peaks
against the banks of fog that over
hung their SUBMITS. Turning to
the right we commenced the long
climb of the foothills. For miles
our way led through ranches of
prunes and olives. How these
ranches are plowed and cultivated
is a mystery to me as they are stu
ated much like the farms Mark
Twain tells of in Switzerland where
if a man stumbles he is likely to
fall into his neighbours ranch way
below his before he can stop. The
road is magnificent piece Of en-
cheering skill costing the Santa
Clara Valley $4,000. 1t is wide
enough anywhere for two teams to
pass, oiled from San Jose to Ysabel
Creek so that there is no dust in
that distance and the road is packed
hard as a pavement, and the grade
in no place exceeds IS per cent.
We followed the road, winding in
and out among the hills, steadily
up until over we went and down the
other side. Then across the narrow
valley and up and over a still high
er ridge. Down from there to the
ISABEL Creek canon where we
stopped for lunch. A tiny FIRE
beside the road soon made the
coffee and the food was soon dis
patched. From here the climb prop
er begins up the steep, brown side
of Mt. Hamilton. The road Zig
gags back and forth, one moment
going due east or west or north or

1t is understood that the Presider

1t is understood that the President
will call Congress in extra session
Nov. 9 with the avowed object of
considering the Cuban Reciprocity
treaty. The idea in this treaty is a
reduction of the tariff on sugar so
that Cuba can import sugar to the
United States with better advantage
to the raisers Of Cuban sugar. The
Republican party is divided on this
question. Many of our people be-
lieve we can raise all the sugar we
use. To this end they ask protec-
ton to such an extent as will make
the raising Of sugar beets SO far pro-
fitable as to encourage the building
of beet factories and the planting of
sugar beets.

The governor and secretary of
state are out chattering about rail
road commission. Both are thor
oughly dishonest and deceiving the
people by their pumpkin fair talks
The legislature two years ago was
more than willing to pass law
creating a railroad commission, the
members of which should be elected
by the people, but La Toilette
would not listen to the proposition
unless he could appoint the com
missioners. Such an arrangement
would be the greatest graft of the
century--and was proposed by the
governor.-Rice Lake Leader.

south, the next moment with a
sharp turn in just the opposite di-
rection. As we came near the sum-
nit Chas. Gardener and I took our
cameras and made the rest of the
way on foot by a bride trail which
crossed the main road. 1t was fully
half an hour after we had arrived
before the rig with the rest of the
party made its appearance. After
divesting ourselves of a portion of
dust which had descended in clouds
as if to revenge itself for our i'm
munity on the oiled road, we spent
several hours in examining the vari-
Gus buildings and instruments.
One of the scientists connected with
the institution very kindly took US
through and explained the uses of
the various pieces of apparatus. /
was particularly interested in the
seismograph which registers the
earthquake. The severe shock of
Aug. 2 threw it out of order so that
no record was obtained of it. Since
then there have been seven earth
quakes only one of which, however,
was of sufficient strength to cause
the instrument to register.
AS evening approached we gath
cred at the western window of the
big dome to watch the sunset. Be-
fore us lay spread the entire Santa
Clara Valley. At the extreme right
was the bay and beyond it the lights
of San Francisco and Oakland. In
front and between US and the Pacific
were the Santa Cruz mountains. A
dense fog was rolling in from the
sea, and you, who have been above
the clouds, can imagine the beauty
of the scene as we looked down up
on il.
The stages from town now began
to arrive for on Saturday nights the
public is allowed to look through
the telescopes. The big 36-inch
lens was, last evening, focused on
Saturn. l was net prepared for the
peculiar beauty of what l saw as |
looked through the immense 60-foot
steel tube the fiery ball with it's
luminous rings was so plainly TO be
seen. At the left were three of it's
satellites and way off in the right
field could be seen another. Five
are sometimes visible at once but
the air was too disturbed last night.
From the big dome we went to
where the 12-inch was pointed at
the moon. At eight o'clock we
started on our trip down the hills.
We crawled up-we flew down. Nine
hours up and only five TO return.
Tired and sleepy, yes, but consider
ing it all, we'll worth while.
Tomorrow and Wednesday will
be gala days here. On Monday the
forty or more labor unions celebrate
Labor Day, while Wednesday Cad
mission Day. will be devoted to the
Native Sons and Daughters of the
Golden West. I was down town
this morning and found the streets
already well decorated, prominent
place being given to the Bear flag of
the California Republic.

Milk Fever of the Cow.

/. Milk Fever, technically called
Parturient Paresis or Parturient
Apoplexy, is characterized by the
following symptoms:
The newly calved adult cow that
has had an easy labor and "cleaned"
promptly, suddenly becomes restless,
sticks her tongue out, refuses feed,
steps up and down with her hind
feet, gets a "kink" in her neck,
ewabbles" when exercised, and fl
nally goes down paralyzed, with
milk, urine and manure suppressed,
tucks her head into her side, SHORES
loudly, becomes bloated, unconscious
and lies stretched out upon her side
until death occurs in from three
hours to three days. Some cows
show delirium, struggle and pound
the head upon the ground. The
majority of cases, however, are
quiet, and have no fever, the tenn
perature is more often below nor
NAL.
CAUSE.
The exact cause of milk fever has
not been determined but DIR. ].
Schmidt, Danish veterinarian,
points out that the disease may be
due to poisonous products derived
from tissue changes taking place in
the udder, while experience teaches
that certain conditions apparently
render cow of the proper age
peculiarly susceptible. A few Of
these aggravating causes are: hot,
badly-ventilated filthy stables; heavy
feeding upon grain foods (concen-
trates) right up to the time of calv-
ing; lack of exercise; excessive use
of succulent foods; sudden plethora
induced by new grass in spring
heredity; immediate and complete
removal of the first milk produced
after calving, or Immediate removal
of the newborn calf.
