Brand Taxes.

A Phoenix paper says the territorial live stock sanitary board is having quite a rush on brand taxes this week. Fees are coming in rapidly from every section of the territory and up to this week not less than 5000 has been re- ceived by Secretary Harrison.
 The law requires that every range brand that is kept up shall be taxed s2.5O a year and the person owning more than one brand, but only using one, will be protected by law, provid- ed that only one brand is used. Should he have more than one and attempt to use them, it will be neces- sary for him to pay the brand tax.
 All irons not paid for by September 30 will be of no value and the live stock board according to law of 1903 would have the right to refuse to grant the brand, provided another had ap- piled for it.

Tombstone Sensation.

The jury in the second case of the government vs. Alvord was brought into court Saturday morning and dis charged says Tombstone report. A communication had been sent to the court by the jury to the effect that two of their number refused to consider the evidence of cOnvicts and desired furth- CT instructions. Being unable to agree, they were called in and dis charged, there being ten for conviction and two for acquital. Before dis charging the jury Judge Doan referred to the note received, and informed them had not the evidence of the con- victs been admissible it would have been ruled out by the court.
 A sensation was sprung when it was announced that the two jurors who stood out against the other ten had been arrested and would be tried for perjury. Two complaints were filed against J. H. James and James Fitzgerald, respectively, one for perjury and the other for ''cor- ruptly endeavoring to impede petit juror of the United States in the dis charge of his duty and corruptly ob- structing and impeding the due ad- ministratiOn of justice therein" The defendants were represented by Att torney J. O'Connel, while the prosecu- tion was conducted by Attorney Gun ningham, the proceedings being before U. S. Commissioner A. H. Emanuel.
 A number of jurors were placed on the stand, each of whom testified that both Fitzgerald and James declared they would not consider convict testi- mony. The cross-examination of each witness showed that while the defen- dants objected to convict evidence they considered it, reserving jurors right of opinion. After argument, Commissioner Emmanuel found for the accused and the case against them was dismissed.

Regarding Turkey and Bulgaria, M. Savinsky said that the accord between Russia and Austria was stronger than ever and that he diG not believe war between those countries would occur.
 The Chinese minister is at Essen, Germany, where he is buying arms and other war material.
 Russia ranks third among the naval powers of the world. Japan is sev- enth. It is believed, however, that Ja- pans, strength on the sea is not so greatly inferior to that of Russia, be- cause the Asiatic island empires navy is practically new and equipped with modern armament, while Russia's list of fighting craft contains many old yes sells which would be of little value in a sea fight of the present day.

 Lasso Used fin Argument.

A farmer named Ed Armstrong was driving bunch of cattle along the road near Salinas the other day when couple of automobile enthusiasts came tearing along at a tremendous speed, says the San Francisco Argonaut. Armstrong fearedN that his cattle would become frightened and stampeded. so he held up his hand and asked the. .asltomobiiists to wait until he could get his herd in shape.

OHIO BOYS ODD MANIA.

Upper Sandusz1y Lad Wants to In-
 hale the Fumes of Gasoline.
 A young boy afflicted with the stran- gest mania on record and one that is both attracting the attention and puz- zling medical science arrived in To- ledo, O., recently and became a spe- cial inmate of the Toledo State hospi- tai.
 The boy is Raymond Thayer, son of MT. and Mrs. J. II. Thayer of Upper Sandusky. The lads mania is for the absorption of the fumes of gasoline, for which he has an insatiable desire. This strange pecuiiarity las been char acteristic of the boy since he first be- gan to creep about, and the habit seems to grow stronger upon him with age.
 His every thought is for the posses sion of gasoline, and his parents have found that he procures it despite their precautions to keep it from him. As many as four gasoline cans, the con- tents of which had been consumed by the boy, are said to have been found by the parents about the house.
 The strange mania of the lad is at tracting wide attention, and medical science is unable as yet to account for it. Through the kindly offices of l.. c. Cole of Bowling Green, member of the board of trustees of the Toledo State hospital, who has become inter ested in the boys case, the lad was brought to Toledo and placed in the special care of Dr. H. A. Tobey, who will study his action and make a rec ord of the case day by day.

Waterbury Footballists May Not Have Field to Play On.
 Two juvenile football teams from Waterbury are going, or intend, to play at Washington park in this borough Sunday afternoon. Just what time the Waterbury teams will have a chance to play is not very clear. The Hammer club the Mohawks and Star lights will in all probability have games at the park Sunday, and the West Ends of this borough and the Quakers Of Waterbury will meet at the same place. In all probability the juveniles from the Brass city will play on Miners lot. Local enthusiasts do not take very kindly to the fact that two Waterbury teams are coming here to play off a game on which bet of G$25 is placed. It will kill the game in this borough, they claim, and as it is now people about Washington park do not take kindly to Sunday games and the local people claim that the two teams from the Brass city are certain to have a wrangle and possibly a fra cas and it will not take many of these to kill Sunday football in Naugatuck.

 Chief-of-Po1ice Schmidt went to Hartford this morning, where he placed under arrest a man named Sears, who is wanted here for obtain ing money on false pretenses. Sears, or Underwood, as he was sometimes known, has served numerous sentences of late for this same offense. As soon as he finished one sentence a police officer from another town was always waiting at the prison gate to gather him in. He is wanted here for obtain ing money under false pretenses from members of the local lodge of Knights of Pythias- When Sears finishes his career of prison life for this offense he will undoubtedly start some other easy method of obtaining money.

War Preparations Have Been Active
 For Some Years.
 TOKYO, Oct. 9.-Japan delivered a protest to Russia in April, 1901, against the Manchurian convention. Ever since Japan's war with China Japan has tried to stay the hand of Russia in Manchuria. The mikado tried hard to prevent China from signing the Manchurian agreement with Russia. The mikado gave his written pledge tn share all the consequences of a rerusa1 to sign the agreement.
 Since 1891 Japan has been preparing for war with Russia. The cause of the trouble was no secret in Japan. Japan wants Korea, according to many students of her progress, for dump ing ground for her surplus population. Russia now holds Manchuria, and Ja- pan resents any attempt to the exten- sion of Russian influence to Korea. England was, along with Japan, very much interested in China's rejection of the Manchurian agreement.

NEW TWO CENT STAMP.

1t Will Bear the Portrait of Wash
 ingtOn on Shield.
 Postmaster General Payne has ap- postage stamp which will succeed the flag" stamp which has been in use for about six months and which has been greatly criticised by the press and crit ics and stamp collectors.
 The new design contains the portrait of Washington, of the Stuart type, sim liar in a general way to the portrait upon the stamp now in use says the Washington Star. The frame or back ground of the design is a shield, the lower portion of which has been fiat tened so as to permit it's conforming to the outlines of the stamp.
 The upper third of the design com prises the blue field with stars in white. Instead of thirteen stars there are only four fully visible, although three points of as many stars may be seen peeping out from behind the let ters United States of America The blue field is cut off by means of hori- zontal line about the top of Washing tons head, and the vertical bars, three ,on either side, shaded so as to depict red and white, comprise the remainder of the design.
 The name of Washington, dates of birth and death, and the value in let ters appears very similar to that in the current stamp. The distinguishing fea- lures of difference in the present stamp and the new design lie in the improved photo of Washington and the abandon ment of the flags and substitution of great shield therefor

yond that of keeping the premises of his master clear of rats and mice. He was devoted to his master and to the sister-in-law, who was housekeeper for the inn. Each night Jim chose as his bed a rug just outside his masters door, but that he had taken up this post as a sentinel was not dreamed of until suddenly one night MT Bailey was awakened by several sharp slaps of something soft on his cheeks, fol- lowed by 8 distressful wall in his ear, such as he never before had heard from Jim.
 Bailey landed on his feet, standing, and the first waking thought was for his sistor-in-law, who was sleeping at the other end of the hall, into which roaring fire was eating. Dashing through the blaze into the room, he found the sister unconscious and car ried her out of the stifltng smoke just as the floor sunk through. Jim kept sharply at his masters heels through the rescue and flight, and once in the road showed the hveliest interest and affection for the two persons who owed their lives to his intelligence. The hotel was burned to the ground.

Ottumwa, June 16.-Chief of Police
John w. Gray, is out $40. some party
in Franklin Grove is out 81, and Mrs.
John Heatherngton is ahead a trip
from here to the "Hoosier' state and
return as the result of q mistake that
was made a short time ago. Mrs.
Heatherington was sent on a trip to the
Indiana village in reponse to the re-
quest from that place that relatives
there wanted to take charge of her.
She was sent and when she arrived it
was found that she was not the party
wanted. She is now on her way back
to this city.
A rev days ago Chief Gray received
letter from party in Franklin Grove
asking if there was a Mrs Mary
Heatherington, the wife of John Heath
er!ngton of this city, and enclosed 81
To pay for her ticket If found. Chief
Gray ascertained that a woman by
that name was an inmate of the coun-
ty farm, and when she said she was
both Mary and the wife of John Hea-
therton, and had once passed thru the
village Ion the banks of the Wabash
he had no hesitancy In sending her
upon her journey to find a new home
with her relatives.
When the chief arrived at the de-
pot he discovered. however. that 81 did
not near buy a ticket to Franklin -
that it took just $40 more to secure
the pasteboard. He good naturally
dug though, and trusted in the hon
esty of the man in Indiana, for his re-
endorsement.
Yesterday a Letter was received from
the state just east of Illinois stating
that Mrs Heatherton, who arrived. was
not the one called for in the specifica-
tons and further stathss that the man
wanted his 81 back. Chief Gray also
wants his $44O back
