Better Than Salary.

A boy or man who works simply for
his salary. and is actuated by no higher
motive, Is dishonest, and the one whom
he most defrauds is himself. He Is
cheating himself. In the quality OF his
daily work, of that which all the after
years, try as he may, can never give
him back. If were allowed but one
utterance on this subject, so vital to
every young man starting on the jour
ney of life, | would say: Don't think
too much of the amount of salary your
employer gives you at the start. Think,
rather, of the possible salary you can
give yourself. in increasing your skill,
in expanding your experience, in en-
larging and ennobling yourself"
A mans or boys work is material
with which to build character and
manhood. 1t is life's school for prac-
tical training of the faculties. stretch
ing the mind. and Strengthening and
developing the intellect, not mere
mill for grinding out a salary OF dol
lars and cents.-Success.

Wyoming Railroad Wreck.

Denver, Nov. 13.-At least ten per-
sons were Killed and score injured in
an awful collision on the Union Pa
cific railway near Granger, Wyoming.
yesterday A fast fruit train, east
bound, collided with westbound pas
senger train No. g. and the two trains
were almost demolished by the force
of the impact. The collision was
caused by the failure Of the conductor
and engineer of the freight train to in
terpret. their orders correctly. They
read the figure "3" In their orders as
"5" and supposed the passenger train
was one hour and fifty minutes late
instead of one hour and thirty minutes.
The total number of dead may approx
innate twenty, as more bodies are be
lieved to be in the wreckage and sew
eral of the many injured are believed
to be fatally hurt. The debris result
ing from the wreck was piled thirty
feet high when the wrecking outfits be-

ALASKA COVERED
BY NEW rELEeRApH,c SYSTEM
More Than 1000 Miles of cabie.-Ex.
tensive Land System and Sue
cessful Wireless Lines.

Washington. Nov. 14.-Gen. A. w.
Greedy, chief signal officer of the United
States army, in his annual report.
gives an interesting account OF the
work performed by his corps in estab-
fishing an all-American telegraphic
system in Alaska, saying the undertake
ing is unique in the annals OF tele-
graphic engineering.
The cable used in the Alaskan sys-
TEN would reach from New Foundland
to Ireland, and the land lines from
Washington to Texas. there being 2,O79
miles of cable ,439 miles of land lines
and 107 miles of wireless lines.
General Greely says the United States
has brought southeastern Alaska, the
Yukon valley and the Bering Straits
region into telegraphic communication
with the rest of the civilized world.
General Greedy says that after thor
ough consideration he decided to in
stall material of American manufac-
ture, to be operated by American SOL
diers and to be laid by American ships,
except some cable instruments and ma
chinery. A selected force of men has
been so trained that to-day the signal
corps of the army is competent to op-
crate in war emergencies submarine
cable of any length.
Repairs in Alaska are maintained.
the report says, "by parties stationed
at log cabins about forty miles apart,
one signal corps repair man with two
assistants of the line of the army and
dog team being at each cabin. The
men meet the terrible conditions OF
hardship and privation uncomplain-
ingly and with fortitude characteris-
tic of the American soldier.
The report says the new wireless sta
tion has daily transmitted the entire
| telegraphc business of the peninsula,
5000 words being exchanged in one
afternoon between Safety Harbor and
st. Michael. The signal corps OF the
army he says, Is now regularly operat-
ing the longest wireless section of any
commercial telegraphic system In the
world.
The annual business of the Seattle
cable is estimated at $25, 900 and dur
ing the year there has been spent $56,-
935 for Alaskan kilograms handled by
the signal corps.
Speaking of the philippines. he says
the sixteen most important islands or
the archipelago are now connected by
cable, which lines. he adds. are recog-
nized as Indispensable, both by the mil
itary and civI. authorities.
| During the year there has been col
! lected and deposited in the lnsular
treasury of the Philippine telegraph
lines receipts to the amount of $5S,675,
there having been sent, including
government business, all told, more
than 100000 messages. the net ex-
pense being $325.901.
The report says 1t Is matter of the
utmost Importance that signalling ap-
paratus of suitable character be In
stalled at the more important military
defenses at the Atlantic and Paclhc
coast, to permit OF intercommunicatioh
between the army and the navy.
1t is strongly urged in the report
that steps be taken by the United
States to adhere to the international
telegraphic union and that interna-
tional regulations to govern wireless
telegraphy in time of war be adopted.

HISTORIC FAKES
Capture Money of American sishtseers
In London.

Not long ago a more or less official
Investigation was made into the his
tory of the picturesque Fleet street
barber shop in London that for years
has been described by its proprietor
as formerly the palace of Henry VIII.
and Cardinal Wolsey." The investigat-
Ing committees findings" have just
been made public. says the correspond
ent of the Washington Post, and they
prove conclusively that the place never
was palace" at all and that neither
the much married sovereign nor his
much-tried prelate ever lived there.
This is an uncommonly interesting
development. because 1t means that of
the three London establishments that
Americans practically support because
they believe them to be interesting
links with the past, two are absolute
fakes" And 1t has been pointed out
in the London press only recently that
while the third of these places has real
claims to historic interest, It's right to
the distinction on the strength Of
which 1t has been a gold mine to its
owner is open to a lot Of doubt.
To the thousands of Americans who
have visited and patronized the quaint
little waste paper establishment in
Portsmouth street, Lincoln's Inn
Fields. that is called THE Old Curl
osity Shop Immortallzed by Charles
Dickens" 1t may be rather shock to
hear that-its proprietors assurances
to the contrary notwithstanding-the
building is no more the one where Lit
tie Nell and her grandfather lived than
the Fleet street barber shop is for
mer residence OF Bluff King Hal.
And though 1t seems pity to upset
q pleasing tradition, investigation
proves that while THE Old Cheshire
Cheese" in Fleet street may have been
visited by DR.. Samuel Johnson, it al
most certainly was not one of his fa-
vorite haunts and not the scene OF his
favorite symposia with Boswell and
Oliver Goldsmith. Yet probably nine
out OF every ten Americans who visit
London make a point Of either lunch
ing or dining at the Cheese" in or
der to see "Johnsons Seat" there. just
as nine out Of every ten pay visits to
and increase the revenues of the "Old
Curiosity Shop and the palace OF
Henry VIII. and Cardinal Wolsey."

GENERAL kuRokl DEAD.
Said to Have Been Killed by Shell
October 4th.

Moscow, Nov 13.-Nemirovitch Dan
chenko, the well-known Russian war
correspondent of the Associated Press,
telegraphing from Mukden under to-
days date, says the reports OF the
death of General Kuroki are con-
firmed.
According to his version, the splinter
of shell struck General Kuroki, tear
ing out portion of his breast and alb
domen.
He died October 4th at Lao Yang
and his body was sent to Japan.
A rumor is persistenly circulated
that kinsman of the Mikado. Siao-
sanii, literally little third prince" has
been appointed to succeed General ku-
roki, but the actual command of the
army has been entrusted to General
Nodzu, who is directing operations.
For the last week." says Dan
chenko. I'VE have practically not ad-
vanced at any point on the whole
southwestern front, even few versts
further than we stood October 5th. On
the contrary, we at several places have
been obliged to retire several versts.
but the present lines of defenses must
be considered permanent, in view of the
strong fortifications constructed.
"The Chinese say that the japanese
are simply interchanging various bodies
of troops, not concentrating in the
east. but keeping their main forces In
reserve, in order thoroughly to reform
them and give them repose preparatory
to the coming fight"

An Honest Opinion.

Mineral, Idaho. Nov. 14th.-(Spe-
c!al. l.)-That a sure cure has been
discovered for those sciatic pains that
make SO many lives miserable. is the
firm opinion of Mr.. ID. S. Colson. q
well known resident of this place,
and he does not hesitate to say that
cure is Dodd's Kidney Pills. The
reason Mr.. Colsors's SO firm in his
opinion Is that he mad those terrible
pains and is cured. Speaking OF the
matter he says:
81 am only too happy to say Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me lots of
good. had awful pains in my hip
SO could hardly walk. Dodd's Kid
ney Pills stopped It entirely. I think
they are a grand medicine"
All sciatic and Rheumatic palms are
caused by Uric Acid in the blood.
Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy
Kidneys. and. healthy Kidneys strain
all the Uric Acid out of the blood.
With the cause removed there can be
no Rheumatism or Sciatica.

be run for profit, but 1t is the only

into tomb.
at is the custom in some parts of
Europe to charge a small fee for a
visit to the tomb of some great man.
But the tip usually is paid to a verger
at the door in as unostentatious a
manner as possible. After Garfleld's

entrance we were rung up on cash

ADAMS PLURALITY.
Democrats Claim That 1t Will Be Ten
Thousand.

Denver, Nov. 13.-The News this
morning says: Mr.. Adams plurality
outside of Denver is roundly 5000.
which, with a plurality of 5000 in the
city, gives him the state by 10000. as
announced in the News on Thursday
Returns certified up by the various
county clerks in the state Will be hnal
with the state canvassing board. except
where the Supreme Court may inter-
fere and order otherwise. Republicans
last night conceded that the State Sen
ate would be Democratic by three and
possibly four, and that the House was
still in doubt.
Assistant Attorney General Melville.
for Attorney General Miller. has been
keeping close watch on all the returns,
and has compiled the vote for a num-
ber of candidates on the state ticket.
This table of Mr.. Melville's brings
Mr.. Adams to Denver with plurality
of 4.92O votes. or just 109 votes more
than were shown by the News table
on Friday morning.
'It would be foolish to try to con-
test Mr.. Adams election" said Attor-
ney General Miller yesterday. He is
absolutely safe without the Denver
vote. 1t is a peculiar thing that by add
ing Mr.. Adams plurality outside OF
Denver with the vote given him In the
city and county it makes him run
right along with all the Republican
ticket, excepting. of course, Governor
Peabody. There is no doubt whatever
of Governor Adams election. and no
question of his holding the office in
spite of contests"
The same table compiled by Mr.. Mel
Vile gives Mr.. Miller's plurality out
side of Denver 10,549 The figures given
out by Chairman Farley give Mr.. Mil
Ier plurality of 9.99S. Mr.. Miller lost
Denver by some 600. but according to
Mr.. Melville's table he led his ticket
outside the city.
There is a difference of about 5000
between Mr.. Melville's figures on the
state treasurer and those given out by
Chairman Farley. Mr.. Melville figures
Mr.. Holmberg's plurality as 1O.343,
while Mr.. Farley gives him 1878.

General Lew Wallace III.

Indianapolis. Ind, Nov. 14.-The
condition of Gen. Lew Wallace is Civ
ing his friends great deal of concern,
and they are expecting to hear of his
death at any time. but the report that
he is dying is erroneous. He has not
been well for more than year, and in
that time has been gradually growing
worse, until he has become discouraged
about his health and has thus added to
the gravity of his case.
His trouble began more than year
ago, when it was noticed that his food
was not at all times properly assim-
Hated. There would be an apparent
recovery in the tone of the digestive
organs under treatment, but this was
followed by longer period of failure
to assimilate the food, and these recur-
ring periods because gradually of longer
duration till his case was regarded as
hopeless.
