speed of 100 miles an hour. This will
cost $50, 900, 900 and earn dividends af
/ ter paying interest and running ex-
penses. Pushing the speed up to Us
miles an hour would increase the cost
Of the plant considerably and, rough
lly estimated double the running ex-
penses. At this rate it is not thought
that the road would pay. The other
company proposes single track, with
provision for the crossing of trains
at Wittenberg, about the middle of the
course. The plan would be to send out
trains from both stations every two
hours or oftener if the traffic demand
ed, making the run just inside of two
hours. AT present the time of express
trains is three hours, the slower ones
taking from five to six and half
hours.

With a big state canal, on paper,
to be built by New York, the canal as
a means Of transportation, seems far
from obsolete in this country. In Eur
one Germany has now an inland wat
err system Of $500 miles. Of which b.
776 are natural rivers. 1,451 canalized
streams and 1853 canals. The federat-
ed governments have spent 100000
on them in the last ten years, and
large further outlay is In prospect. a
fayorite scheme of the emperor's is to
connect the main north and south riv-
ers of the empire by means of east and
west canals starting near Dusseldorf
;n-the-Rhine and reaching Frankfort
on-the-Odor via Berlin, these artificial
waterways to cost about S6O,OO0,Oo0.
German enterprise in this direction is
pushing and persistent, while that OF
France, in the same line, though more
grandiose, is not so progressive ana
practical. The later country proposes
a gradual expenditure of l,79l,00O,Ooo
francs on it's canals and internal wat
erways, and the plan is not altogether
on paper, though up to this time good
deal of it is. England is preparing to
restore and improve her decaying cam
ais. and there is American capital for
the work if it should be wanted Bel
GUM is emulating the canal enterprises
of Holland, Austria has decided to
spend s65, 100000 in similar work and
Italy is trying to raise $22,OOO,OO0 for
the same purpose.

STEALING MULES OR MONEY.

When Mrs. Chadwick, in prison, was
told that the cashier whom she assist
ed to wreck the Oberlin bank had been
sentenced to seven years in the peni-
Tertiary, she grew sorrowfuly reminis-
cent. Heaving a regretful sigh He
was fine man." said Mrs. Chadwick.
All unconsciously the woman gave eX-
preston to common sentiment that
is opposed to Justice and responsible
for the failure of the law to deal out
its penalties with equality to all and
/. favor to none. She had met Mr..
Spear, the defaulting cashier to her
personal advantage. She profited from
his possession of money and was pleas
ed by his manners. She remembered
llina as "a fine man."
IL this were only the expression of
sentiment between convicted thieves it
would not be worth notice. But it
doesn't stop there. Without doubt
there are hundreds of respectable and
honest people in Oberlin whose ac-
quaintance with the bank wrecker was
socially pleasant and profitable in bus
mess, who regret his retirement from
circulation for seven years, and say
with Mrs, Chadwick HE was fine
man."
So was Soule, at Iowa Falls, and
Dunning, at Mt Ayr. The former is
serving an eighteen months sentence,
the other condemned to a term twice
as long. But not all thieves are fine

a Tama county paper Indicates:
r. A. Lager was down from Glad
sation with Alfred Koenig, the mule
thief. The boys were friends before
Koenig stole Henry Layers mules, and
wept like a baby when they met in the
Jail. Koenig is sorry he committed
the crime and talks of self destruction.
He will be taken to the pen next week
to begin ten year term.
Seven years for Spear, whose de-
falcation robbed struggling students Of
their last penny and made their chance
to go on dependent upon charity, three
years for Cunning and eighteen
months for Soule and ten years for

for footing a bank?

making distinctions between criminals

Sleeplessness.
A Cure That Is Prompt and Perman-


Sleeplessness is one of the most
prominent symptoms of starved and
weak nerves, as it is one of the most
distressing.
Hunger, thirst, sickness, and bodily
injuries may be borne, and while
borne may be overcome, but sleepless-
ness weakens the organs, wrecks the
body and destroys the mental energy
and ambition of the brightest minds.
Victims of sleeplessness suffer year
after year, believing that there is no
cure and that they must endure their
torture as patiently as possible.

MAHARA'S MlNSTRELS

The most diverting novelty prom
ised by Manager Matson for the com
ing theatrical week, is the famous Ma
hara's minstrels, known from Maine
to California, as the banner colored
minstrel organization of America. The
entire performance scintillates with
a sparkle of originality that has made
this company the most popular of all
travelling colored attractions. The
company comprises a membership of
the very best artists, botn ladies and
gentlemen, known to the colored pro
fession. There is not a white face in
its ranks, although in its chorus are
a dozen pretty young women, who,
it will be diff cult to discover from
their lighter sisters. This is consid.
cred a new departure in minstrelsy by
Mahara brothers, who promise many
more novel features which will be
seen for the first time in this city.

tirely new and Manager Matson is
positive ne has secured one of the
brightest treats for his many patrons

JOHN II. BEARRUP
WAS SUCCESSFUL
WRITES HOME THAT ALL WAS
LOVELY AT CONVENTION OF
TEXAS FARMERS.

John II. Bearrup, president of the
Rio Grande Wooden Mill company,
who went to T~exarkana, Texas, to at
tend a convention of the "Lone star
state farmers. exclusive mention of
which was made in The Evening Citi-
zen, has written home that every
thing passed off lovely at the conven.
ton" He wrote no other particulars,
explaining that he would be home the
latter part of this week.
It is to be inferred from the op-
timistic tone of Uncle Johnny's letter
that all expectations were fulfilled.
The convention was attended by 1.20O
delegates, representing SOC, 900 tillers
Of the soil. Mr.. Bearrup expected 10
sell enough Rio Grande stock to equal
at least $1,000, 900. The breezy tone
of Mr.. B%earrup's letter leaves little
doubt in the minds of his friends but
what he has realized this expecta
ton. With the money, a commodious
and modern cotton and wooden mil
will be erected, in all probability near
Albuquerque and near the site of the
present mill.

maybe for a breathing spell in the
flight he is undergoing from the Off
GERS of the law, who are securing the

circular from Sheriff Pacheco of Tue

O'Sullivan, describes the brutal muir
der of the fellows wife, and offers a
reward of $500 for his capture, pro-
viding it is made within six months,
from November "a, 1905.
The alleged crime was committed
about a mile from Tucson, some time
prior to November 8. In a lone cabin
O'Sullivan is alleged to have attacked
his spouse, killing her with a Ratchet.
The body was not found for several
days afterwards.
A search for O'Sullivan proved fu-

is making for Mexico. The accused

LIEUT.. GEN. CHAFFEE
IN ALBUQUERQUE
One of Three Chiefs OF Stall
to Retire During the
Year 1906.
WILL SETTLE IN LOS ANGELES

Lieutenant General Adna r. Chat
fee. chief OF staff, United States Army,
who retires from the army on Febru-
ary !, 1906. was an Albuquerque viss
itor Yesterday for forty-five minutes.
The general was accompanied by Mrs.
Chaffee and they were en- route to
Washington from Los Angeles, Cal,
where they will settle when the gen
eral leaves active service.
There is more than a mere coincl-
dence in the fact that the United
States will have three retired lieuten-
ant generals during the year 1906.
General Chaffee will not be "a years
of age until April Il, 1906, but as a
courtesy to General Bates, who Is
next in line in the chief of stan, he
will retire fOrty-five days prior TO
that time, so that General Bates may
ascend to the rank of lieutenant gen
eral in time to retire before he also
is compelled to leave the service be
cause of his age. General Bates VIII
be GA years old in August, 1906, but
he will resign the Office to General
Corbin before that time. General
Corbin will be Ga in September, 1906.
General and Mrs. Chaffee were met
at the station by f. IL. Kent, who was
"a schoolmate of Mrs. Chaffee, and
Hon. B. s. Rodey, who is an OLD
friend of the general. The topics OF
conversation ran from the red school
house in the lane to Los Angeles
building lots, and rom public social
functions at the capitol to statehood.
General Chaffee is one of the far-see-
ing public men of wide experience,
who think that joint statehood is the
more economical form Of government
for the territories, and in answer TO a
question yesterday as to what he
thought of statehood matters, said:
why, it's quite obvious to me that
you want joint statehood. | have al
ways thought so. Single state gov
eminent would be a burden to either
territory. Pm surprised that there is
any opposition to joint statehood,
whatever"
Despite his GO years, General Chat
fee is hale mi hearty, and looks like
he was good for the allotted three
score and ten, and then some, Mrs,
Chaffee is also in robust health. They
formerly lived in Los Angeles, but
sold u years ago at a good profit,
They are now buying in Los Angeles
at a good profit to the other fellow.
