A FAIR EXCHANGE.

Large sums of money are no
doubt realized from simple spec
ulation, but the great fortunes
are derived from legitimate and
honest business-where the goods
furnished are worth the price
they bring. Certain famous bust
ness men have accumulated their
millions wholly in this way.
Prompt and faithful in every
contract or engagement they en-
JOY the confidence Of the public
and command a class Of trade
that is refused to unstable or
tricky competitors. In the long
run it does not pay to cheat or
deceive others. A humbug may
be advertised with noise like
the blowing of a thousand trum-
pets, but it is soon detected and
exposed. The manufacturers of
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
have always acted on very differ
ent principles. Before offering
it to the public they first made
sure of its merits. Then, and
then only, did its name appear
in print. People were assured of
what it would do, and found the
statement truthful. To-day they
believe in it as we all believe in
the word of a tried and trusted
friend. It is palatable as honey
and contains all the nutritive
and curative properties of Pure
Cod Liver Oil, extracted by US
from fresh cod livers, combined
with the Compound Syrup of

in saying | have found it a most
efficient preparation, embodying
all OF the medicinal properties
of a pure cod liver oil in a most

cious taste and favour. One

THE EMPANELING.

P. O'Sul1ivan was called for trial I'M
der Indictment of permitting beer to be
sold and drank in his licensed saloon on
Sunday. c. Creighton and Henry Ho-
gan appeared for the defendant, and
Mr.. Hogan read objections to the call
ing OF jury from notebook in his
hand. The grand and trial jury panels
were attacked and the jurisdiction of the
court was denied. The plea was also
made that defendant had been once in
jeopardy.
Mr.. Prosser briefly replied, saying that
all objections were overru1ed at last
term and besides that they should have
been brought in form of some regular
plea
Mr. Creighton read the indictment to
show flaws in it and the minutes of
Judge De Bolts hearings of the matter
last term to contradict the prosecutions
claim that nothing was now left but the
trial by jury.
Judge Gear promptly overruled the OBJ
jections, the defense excepted to the
ruling and the calling Of a jury began.
Mr.. Prosser began to examine the
twelve men first called as to their quail
fcations all in a bunch, but as three of
the panel almost simultaneously broke
out with excuses he concluded he would
have to take the jurynen enc at time.
Mr.. Hummell said he was not regis
tered voter and, when J. A. NJ johnson
said he missed registration by absence,
Mr.. Hummell went on to give the addi-
tional excuse that he was member of
the grand jury that indicted the de-
fendant last term. w. NJ. Campbell

WILL BE NO WAR.
Colombian Soldiers Returning
From Panama Frontier.

New York, Jan. 20@-Strong indica-
tons that there will be no war between
Panama and Colombia have been OBJ
served by Bishop Junguito. who has
just returned from Cartagena and Bar
ranquilla, cables the Panama CORE
spondent of the Herald.
The bishop journeyed to Colombia to
see the papal nuncio, who is en- route to
Rome. He declares that many of the
soldiers who went to the front along
the Panama border have returned in
Ill health The soldiers from the in
terror, he says, can not stand the heat
or the climate and the conditions in the
Colombian camps
There are no facilities for getting
supplies and there is great suffering
among the soldiers. The hospitals are
reported crowded, and discomfort was
expressed everywhere The troops are
not anxious to start on a hard land
journey to the isthmus, and the senti-
ment along the coast favors the aban-
donment of the idea of a campaign
rather than risk serious trouble.
The people in the cities are anxious
to be rid of the burden imposed on
them by paying the army and all the
officials on a gold basis, as they have
received no gold from Bogota and the
drain is greater than they are willing
to stand.
The government junta here has let
ters from Bocas del .Toro and other
points showing that there has been nc
further advance of the Colombian
army.

PRISON FOR LIFE.
Sentence of a Man Convicted of
Wrecking a Train.

La Junta. Col, Jan. 20.-In the dis
trict court late last night John Devine
was convicted by the jury and SEN
fenced by Judge Walker to imprison-
ment for life, he being charged with
the crime of wrecking the Santa F'e
fast train known as No. 6, from Dem
yer to Chicago, near Manzanola, Col,
on the night of the 18th of October last.
The facts disclose that the train was
wrecked by some malicious or design
ing persons, for the spikes were
removed from the rails and ties upon
bridge over the stream, as well as the
bolts from the Weber joints. When
the train approached the bridge the
rails gave way, throwing the engine
and cars into the bottom of the creek,
a distance of some 20 or 25 feet, killing
the engineer, seriously scalding the fire.
man, and injuring a large number OF
of the clawbar thereon, and were found
lying a longside of the ties on the en-
bankment, and the indentures of the
claw bar on the ties were also discov-
cred. The bolts from the Weber joints
were found near by, as we'll as the
clawbar, and as further evidence in
the brush near by the baggage and
personal effects of passengers had been
taken and there cut open and the con-
tents extracted.
The evidence showed that John De
vine, who is a notorious character, with
committed this dastardly deed, and the
jury found him guilty and sentence
was inflicted by the court. The object
of this wreck was as it was supposed
that there was a large amount of mon
ey on the train, to plumber the passen-
gers, many of whom were bankers re-

CURRENT GROUNDED.
Train Service on Chicago 81"
Held Up Two Hours.

Chicago. Jan. 20.-As the result OF
rain storm, train services on the south
side elevated railroad was paralyzed
for nearly two hours endangering life
and dfscommoding thousands of pas
sengers Rain soaking the wood sup
port structure of the road caused
the moisture to communicate to a de-
fective third rail support near a net
work of switches. The electric current
deserted the car motors and flowed
through the ironwork of the structure
to the ground. The entire structure for
a considerable distance was electrified
and menaced the safety of horses and
men below until the current was shut
off at the power house. Trains on the
road were crowded. Passengers on the
stalled trains, after waiting for some
time for signs of life in the motors,
took surface lines and reached their
work after a long delay.

THE SHETLAND PONY.
Runs Wild in His Early Days-A
Devoted Friend of Man.

When at home the pony is still left
very much to himself, and during his
earlier years runs wild. But he is
easily reformed, and speedily abandons
his wild and odd ways and becomes a
devoted friend of man and an adj
ton for the ponies that the islanders
never kill them, but when they are too
old for work they allow them to return
to the fields and hills and live out the
rest of their days in peace. Sometimes
the old animals, in their wanderings for
perish. They still reach the age of 80
years or more in their native land, and
there is q case on recOrd-but it is prob
ably apocryphal-of a Sheltie which
lived to be a hundred years old.
Like every other good thing for which
a demand has arisen, the prices of
Shelties have increased in recent years.
There has been for a considerable Pc
riod a large export trade in the ponies,
of which there were at one time 10 600
in the islands, but according to govern
ment returns the number is now about
half. In the eighteenth century it was
possible to obtain a good Sheltie for so
shillings about $12). and the average
price in 1909 was So more. Half a CEN
fury ago a pony could be bought for
from 81 to $50, but in 1871 males ranged
from $40 to $50, the mares fetching only
half that sum, as they were not suit
able for pit work. for which the SheIties
were mostly needed. Since then prices
have greatly advanced and large sums
are obtained for choice specimens of
the pony, especially when they are
wanted for children's use A yearling
viii now command from $50 upward
The Sheltie cannot be worked until
it is three or four years old, and does
not reach maturity until it is aged
eight or nine yearS--Sporting News.

BAD FOR INSPECTORS.
"Mr. Blue Beardo Manager Tes-
titles In Iroquois Case.

Chicago. Jan. 20.-Edwin R. Price,
manager of Mr.. Blue Beard" at the
Iroquois inquest today showed up the
work of Chicago building inspectors in
a bad light. compared with inspectors of
other cities.
Manager Price said he frequently has
seen inspectors examining exits in other
places during the progress of perform
ances but never at the Iroquois.
The managers evidence was designed
to exonerate Klaw & Erlanger from all
responsibility for the fire and to lay the
blame on the theater management.
Mr.. Price gave his occupation as
manager for Klaw & Erlanger."
He said that Mr.. Erlanger-put on the
blue Beard show and hired the mem
bers of the company.
Asked If he had known where the
fire escape exits were, he replied:
IT knew where they were because
saw them before the draperies, so much
discussed were put up"
In other Cities he said, I'VE often
were annoyed by inspectors who came
around during performances to see that
the exits were OPEN"
Were you ever annoyed by inspectors
in Chicago?'
No"
Mr.. Price described the fire at Cleve-
land in October. He denied that similar
conditions existed in Chicago.

LAKE CASE COURT.
Druggist Is Once More Before Judge
Hayden.

The case brought by Chief of Police
McCollum against W. F. Lake, drug
gist, was before Judge Hayden in the
probate court today for about the
fourth time.
At the first days hearing McCollum
and his attorney, A L. Redden, failed
to offer any evidence whatever against
Lake and they asked for a continuance
until they could rustic more witnesses.
This morning they appeared with John
Hellam. He testified that he bought
liquor at Lakes store but that when
he bought it of Lake personally he al
ways signed for it. He thought that
one time he bought liquor from a clerk
and did not sign for it and that the
liquor was charged. Lakes attorneys
then asked for more time for the pur-
pose of bringing the books of the es-
adjustment into court to prove that
Lake does not do credit business.

COACH WITNESSES.
Mr. Kumler Says He VIII Prove
Charge Against Mayer.

Washington, Jan. 20.-When the pos
tai trial was resumed today Mr.. Kun
Ter, referring to his charge made yester-
day that Postoffiee Inspector Mayer
had coached witnesses, said he did not
want to call the attention of the court
again to the matter, but as the district
attorney had pressed him for proof of
his assertion, he was prepared to pre-
sent an affidavit. The district attorney
protested that the matter could not be
brought before the court in this way,
that oral testimony should be heard.
Il beg to differ with you as to that
question" remarked Justice Pritchard.
Mr.. Kum1er then said as two affi-
dayits would be necessary, he would
obtain one more, whereupon Justice
Pritchard remarked that if he found
sufficient cause for issuing a rule for
contempt against Mayer he would do
it. Mr.. Douglass in turn elected the
statement that the affidavit would APP
ply equally and perhaps more so to
Postoffice Inspector Gregory. Justice
Pritchard informed counsel on both
sides that he would demand that no ex-
traneous matter be introduced to in
fuence the jury, but If it was he would
take occasion to mention it when he
delivered his charge to the jury.
