MATCHED IN POLAR WINTER
Bird Of the Antarctic Region Which
Has But Recently Become
Known.

DR.. e. F. Wilson's lecture at the
Royal Institution on the emperor PEN
gum was illustrated by skins, eggs and
q number Of lantern pictures of the
birds and their rookeries, reports the
London Telegraph Of recent date.
This fine species, larger than the
king penguin. which has been exhib-
tied In the Geological gardens, was
discovered during Capt. Cooks second
expedition, but until the return re-
Gently Of the Antarcic expedition,
nothing was known OF It's life history
or habits. The curious thing is that
the birds are Matched In the depth Of
the Polar winter
A single egg is laid, which is brood
ed between the birds feet and the soft
plumage of the body. The chick Is
clothed in grayish white down. which
il moulted after five months, and
when about year and half old the
immature plumage Is exchanged for
that of the adult. One young bird was
taken on board the Discovery and kept
alive for five months.

REPUBLICANS NAME MEN
They Nominated Candidates For
City Council Monday Night.
MEETINGS WERE VERY QUIET
No Opposition to Any of the Nomi-
nees Was Developed, and Every.
thing Was Harmonious.

A full councilmanic ticket was plac-
ed in the field by the republicans OF
the five wards of the city at their ward
conventions Monday. the thing be-
ing done quietly and without a single
hitch or contest The result is a
good list of men who will measure up
to the requirements of the position If
they are elected.
AS rule the attendance was small,
there being little interest in the meet
ings. The forthcoming fight at Key
ser and the fact that many leading re-
publicans We're making arrangements
to go to that city today on early
trains kept the attendance down. All
the meetings were quiet aud orderly,
and the business was dispatched
quickly. The ticket is as follows:
First Ward-J. A. Bowers, re-
tiredJ business man of South Queen
street.
Second Ward II. G., Gorsuch, the
Noish queen street mecHdhb anu
prominent Hetzel worker.
Third Ward Harry Detrow, super
intendent of the Baker stone quar-
ries.
Fourth Ward Theodore Anderson.
an engineer on the Baltimore g. Ohio,
who has never been candidate for
office before,
Fifth Ward-Charles HODGE, ware
house man at the Baltimore & Ohio
freight depot and a former councilman.
So far as can be ascertained the
gentlemen have all accepted the NOM
nations. The democrats will NOM
mate their candidates on Thursday
evening, and the municiple fight will

PAYS FOR HIS TRIcKERY.
Telegrapher Obtained Money Dis
honestly, But Paid It
All Back.

I'VE have q regular fund, called the
conscience fund.-" said man who
sits at highly polished desk in one
of the local railroad general offices,
reports the Louisville Courier-Journal.
at is peculiar how the fund grows,
and it shows the strange workings Of
the conscience of man.
Recently we had an extraordinary
case. A young fellow down In Ken
lucky cut the telegraph wires and. be-
ing an operator. he connected an In
strument and sent message to tho
nearest station, ordering the agent TO
give him ticket to Chicago and adj
vance him $40. He closed the mes
sage with the name of one of the high
officials OF the road. Half an hour
later he walked into the station and
asked II there was ticket for him.
The agent gave 1t to him and also paid
him the cash. He took the trst train
and was never heard OF again until .
few days ago, when we received .
check for the full amount. The wires
were cut three years ago."

MORALES KILLING.
Gambler Kills Three others. Then Shoots
 nImseIf-four Shots Fired.


 One of the bloodiest tragedies which ever occurred in the territory took place at o'clock Saturday morning at Nogales. Several parties had been gambling all night, and party by the name of Walters, who is a gamb- ling man, appeared to be angry over the loss of a considerable sum of money. Without word of warning he arose from the table at which he had been playing and commenced shooting, the first shot instantly kill ing ]. J. Johnson, the next Mexican, and the next, which was probably in- tended for some other of the gamblers around the table, went wild of it's mark and killed Mir. NJ. NJ. Conn, the pro- prietor of the Palace saloon. Walter ran out of the door as if to escape, but, when he reached the outside, shot himself and died immediately. There were only four shots fired, and each one killed a man. A coroner's jury was impanneled and verdict rem dered in accordance with the above facts.
 J. J. Johnson, who was the cause of the tragedy, is well known as a card shark and manipulator of marked decks and always on the lookout for someone not up to his tricks. It seems that Walters finally got onto the crooked game, and, after losing all that he had, became desperate and did the shooting. None of the men were drunk. Johnson was commonly known as Cowboy Johnson and made a busi. ness Cf gambling.
 NJ. NJ. Conn, who was killed, it is believed accidentally, although some assert that Walters shot him because he believed that the proprietor of the saloon was to blame for allowing a a crook to frequent his house. But this is only surmise, for it is certain that Mir. Coon did not have friendly feeling for Johnson, whom he knew to be crooked, and would have preferred to have had him keep out of his place, could he have done so.

TO SETTLE FOR PORTER
BONDsMEN OF TALLAPOOsA COL HECTOR WRITE AUDITOR.
They Promise to Pay in Full the Amount Charged Against COun-
 ty Officer by Examiner Sedberry.

It now looks as if the State will not have to proceed against Tax Collector c. L. Porter of Tallapoosa County to collect $2,1S5 alleged to be due by him to the State Auditor in view of letter received yesterday by Chief Clerk J. T. Cook of the Auditors oflce, from one of the largest bondsmen of the collec- tor. ..s
 The bondsmen have about succeeded in making up the shortage and in- formed Judge Cook that the remittance in full would be made yesterday or to- day. -@~ :."
 There was no settlement with the Au- ditor yesterday and today will be the last opportunity offered for making the shortage good. The State. it may be repeated, is regarded as amply pro- tected by the bondsmen of MT. Porter, who number nearly a dozen. In the early part of the week they had suc- ceeded In getting together all the in- debtedness except about $400 and it appeared at the time the letter was written the Auditor that the whole amount would be secured. If the money is not forthcoming today the suit will be filed against the officer and bondsmen to recover the shortage.
 The account of the State with ]. P. Oliver. Superintendent of Education of Tallapoosa County, who was reported short some s250 a few days ago, has been turned over to the State Depart ment of Education by Judge Cook, who is acting Auditor. The matter will be adjusted without trouble. 1t Is believed, as soon as MT. Oliver is informed of the determination of the State. to collect the amount.
 Chief Clerk Harry c. Gunnels of the State Department of Education has al- ready directed the county superintend- ent to remit at once the amount of the shortage reported to the Governor. -
