A complaint and warrant identical

President Bigelow's Confession.
President Bigelow's confession was
made at special meeting of the
board OF directors, held Saturday
evening and continued Sunday. In adj
dressing his fellow directors, President
Blgelow said he had painful state
ment to make-a confession that he
mad misdirected the funds'of the bans
and that an examination Of his books
and comparison of figures would
show that he was indebted to the
bank to the amount of over $1,450,-
900. This money, he said, had been
lost in speculation in wheat and
stocks. Not dollar of it could be
recovered and the only sum he could
offer toward recompensing the bank
were personal securities valued at ap-
proximately 100000.
The confession of President Bige.
low astounded the directors of the
bank. Mr. Bigelow had been recog-
nlzed as one of the foremost finan-
ciers of the northwest. He has been
associated with the bank in various
capacities for more than fifteen years
and his business connections-trust

real estate deals and other similar

some live object in their beaks, he fol-
lowed bird to it's perch. Kicking

that the birds captured their pray and
held 1t crossWise after the fashion of
a kingfsher. But they made no at

A NEW TYRANNY.

Sir Henry Maine some time ago an
nounced the law that the movement Of
human society lis from status to con-
tract" that is, that during a long pc
riod there, has been an advance from
fixed conditions to freer ones, says H.
a. Stimson in the Atlantic. But writ
ing more recently, Herbert Spencer
shows that conditions have changed.
While the old coerciye arrangements
OF human society have relaxed, new
cOercive arrangements are being u1-
obtrusively established. The steady
development of the machinery of soci-
ETY., in the state and in business, is
working "a reversal of the process Sir
Henry Maine observed The i'm
mense development of all forms Of
public administration, with it's grow
ing system Of industries carried on I'M
der state regulation or control, coupled
with the vast array of business of all
kinds organized into great corpora
tons in which individual responsible

rect, is working a corresponding sub
ordination Of the citizen; new tyr
amy, which, he says, will Eventually
lead to new resistances and new email
Clpations.' AS yet we are only not
ing the change; society has still to
deal with the outcome.

SEA FOWLS EGGS

THE eggs Of sea fowls" said a nat
uralist, afford us a triking instance
of the fine way nature fits every thing
to it's environment.
Sea fowls eggs are conical in
shape. Thus, being broad at the base
and narrow at the point, they only roll
in circles.
IF they rolled otherwise, they would
nearly all fall into the water or smash
on the rocks, and the sea fowl race
would soon become extinct. For
these birds lay their eggs on crags
and lodges, open to the winds, and
eggs given to rolling would quickly be
blown to destruction"
