Bucklln 10 Pratt last Wednesday and the
roadmaster put him off at Cullison and
took charge OF the train himself, Com

Of grand larceny, supposlng that be had

The conductor was brought 70 Prattiand
turned over to the sheriff and placed In

was set for Wednesday Of this week.
The conductor claims that be never did

fact that he was seen taking drink By

Taft Likes to Talk.

Secretary Taft is a different sort, but
ne knows what to talk about and what
to let alone On subjects that are le-
ultimate news, provided they come
within his jurisdiction, Secretary Taft
will talk freely and frankly, but he
won't go beyond what he believes to be
a proper limit. He does not court
newspaper notoriety in any manner,
but he is always fair with newspaper
men, and the general run of newspa-
apt to be strictly bound by the gag.
Then there is Secretary Shaw. There
is no better friend of the newspaper
men in the cabinet. But Mr.. Shaw
has a presidential boom which he is
nursing, and he is shrewd enough to
keep on the good side of the men who
can do much to promote or demolish
his boom. That may be one reason the
secretary of the treasury is "such a
good fellow" 1t is doubted if he is
suppressed by a gag order, for he is
going to leave the cabinet in a few
months, and he would hardly wish to
make enemies Of the newspaper world
at a time when the press can be Of
such benefit to him.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Nov. 1.-The

''Will you go?" asked Mr.. Ode's mother
of Miss Harris. An affirmative reply
was given, and Mrs. Ode and Miss Har
ris hastened to Colorado, where, un-
der the shadow of Pixies Peak, and
largely through the young woman's
nursing, Mr.. Ode rapidly regained his
health. Colorado Springs will be the

VAST SPOTS SEEN ON SUN.
White -Hot Settling Areas Moving
Across by Turning Of Axis.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 1.-Astrono-
mers were taken all unawares by the
appearance of late of two vast areas
of spots and penumbras On the sun.
All last week a great cluster of spots
was moving across the mighty disk
bv the turning Of the sun on its axis.
This group and the penumbral fila
ments round about was nearly 100000
miles in diameter.
in every direction. These are white
not, seething Arrears, hotter than the
general surface of the sun. They are
the seat of explosions of penr-up gas.
The spots in this group were crossed
by bridges of white-hot matter. These
issue from the sides of the spots as
tongues and then they move across
with varying velocity.
A new spot has no bridges; thus,
when they begin it is a sign of disin-
tegration. The group finally vanished
around the curvature of the suns west
ern side. A giant solitary spot ap-
peared on the eastern limb. One
bridge is observed to the right, a thin
tongue near the middle, while two jets
are beginning near the upper left end.
There have been seen but few
single spots larger than this. The
umbra is quite black. The penumbra
looks like a depressed surface declin-
ing into the abyss below. The spots no
doubt are shallow sinks in the solar
surface. Other opinions are held,
however, and the cause is unknown.
Several worlds like the earth could
drop into this awful place and be de-
stroyed.
new sun has been seen in the con-
stellation the Eagle or Aquilla. A
new sun that comes on suddenly is
caused by collision of two or more
dark worlds or the explosion of a sun,
greatly increasing it's brilliancy so
that it can be photographed. If our
sun should have an extensive outbreak
life would vanish from the earth in a
few minutes. Our lives depend upon
the state of the sun entirely.

CorteIyou Is Close.

Next to Secretary Root, Postmaster
General Cortelyou is the closest of the
cabinet officers A perfect gentleman,
he always gives newspaper men a re-
spectful hearing, but he has a faculty
of avoiding the question at issue; of
concealing that which the newspapers
want to know, and he has brought his
whole department into a state where
his subordinates are now as cautious
as their chief. Cortelyou will strictly
observe the gag order.
The secretary of the interior is not
given to free discussion of public bust
ness with newspaper men, save on rare
occasions, and then on topics that are
over-ripe. Mr.. Hitchcock would
rather talk about outside matters, in
teresting, but irrelevant. He is not a
good news producer; he never was
The same is true of Victor Metcalf of
the department of commerce and Ia
Dor. The attorney general is not the
head of a very newsy department, in
the long run; he is seldom in a pasi-
ton to talk of what he is doing, but
when it comes to results Mr. Moody
has come out with the facts and has
let the conclusion be known. Natur-
ally much of the work of the depart
ment of justice is Of a secret charac-
ter and cannot properly be made pub
lie. The only kick On the attorney gen.
eral is that he is too brief in an

Seattle Youth Steals Diamond From

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 1.-Thiel-
man Damon, grandson of the late
Rev. John F. Damon, who was to
have been married in a short time
to the daughter of Rev. Frederick Lee,
pastor Of the First Congregational
church, was arrested this afternoon on
a charge of grand larceny and con-
fessed. He stole a diamond ring from
a school mate which he traded to a
jeweler for another which he gave
his fiance as an engagement ring.
Both young men were roOming at
the home of L. w. Bonney, presi-
dent of the Bonney- Watson company.
Saturday morning Damon, VIVA is

ing "Burglars!' His roommate fol-

door, when Damon said the thieves
had disappeared. Returning to his
room his roommate missed his dia
mond and reported the theft to the
police. The detectives located where
Damon had traded the ring and recov-
cred it. Damon has been prominent in
local society. Miss Lee is prostrat-

Secretary Bonaparte of the navy Is
known as his colleagues, as yet, and
it is difficult to tell how the gag rule
will operate in his case. He has never
been ELUSIVE in his talks for publica-
ton, but what he has said has been to
the point.
Why the Order Smarts.
Cabinet officers who aspire to higher
things, men who wish to keep in the
public eye, will smart under the pres
ident's gag order. If they obey the
order they must offend their friends,
the newspaper men, and to disobey is
INSTRUMENTATION of the rankest kind.
Cabinet officers who have given up
news, and now refuse, will probably
find change in tone in the Washing
ton dispatches bearing on them and
their acts; complimets will be less
frequent; perhaps knocks may sup
plant bouquets. 1t is an embarra ssing
thing for such cabinet officers to face
the newspaper men after reading the
gag order; they are between the devil
and the deep sea. In the end the news
papers will probably win. But incl
dentally, some cabinet officers will
have uneasy hours. Most cabinet off,

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S RE-

FICERS is OFFENSIVE.
Teft Has Been Free TaIker, While
Root and Cortelyou Have
Been Close Mouthed.

President Roosevelt's gag order,
prohibiting members of his cabinet
from discussing cabinet news with
special correspondents is a two-legged
sword. It pleases some members of
the cabinet; it is decidedly distasteful
to others. And there are indications
that the rule will, at times, be for

To those members of the cabinet

to the others it is serious handicap.
