 And still the porter came not. Could he have been mad enough to wait for his change? 4 shrill whistle went, and the irrevocable train began slowly to move out. But he came at last, run- ming as if for for his life. Why could not the blackguards stop the train for him? But the porter gained rapidly. He tossed the packet of tobacco in at the window, caught the other shilling in his cap, and leaned panting against post as the train swept out of the station.
 The victim of self-indulgence tore open the packet. Never had an ounce of fiye-penny tobacco been better worth two shiilings. With a deep sense of relief as of a hard struggle barely won he filled his pipe. It was rather light CT tobacco than he generally used, but how infinitely better than no tobacco at all!
 Ho put the pipe between his teeth, sank back on the cushions and fumbled for a match.
 He =ound that he had not got a match,
 And the rest cannot be written, but might possibly be orchestrated.-Barry Pain in The Tater.

THE WAY TO TALK TO LEM.

Yes, it is good morning, and have used Every body's soap, but do not need biscuit My name is william sufferin Smith; l am 4s years old and widower. have the following relations, or, rather they have me, namely: One mother-in-law, who was born to command: three brothers-i in-law, who were born to be hanged, but have thus far escaped; two maiden sisters-in-law of the vint- age of 1S42. Since the death of my wife these several relatives have lived on me like pack of cannibals' My mother-ir-law is sure my wife would have been alive now if it had not been for my conduct. The whole outfit has ground into me their superior wisdom, their views os life, and their prefer ences in everything. Yesterday laid my coat and hat on the bank of the river, swan across, and disappeared in the woods, leaving my kith and kin to mourn me as dead. I am never going back unless am overtaken and hyp- notized. I don't know anything of in- terest to tell anybody. and don't want to hear anything that anybody else has to tell. I want nothing in, the world but peace"
 That's the way to talk to them when they want to know.

Aceoraing to g. wise man who has hasn investigating the increased pro- ,asivn of gold due to the introduction of dredging machines, the time is not far distant when the gold output will be $2,OOO,O00 per day, even should the quartz mines yield no more that at present. As this would aggregate s600.00o,o0o per year. or more than twice the present product. it is interesting to conjecture what the effect will be upon the interest rate and upon collateral matters.

Congressman c. P. Dorr of West Vir- ginia has been quoted, in Washing ton, as saying that the new system of taxation in effect in that State is im- perilling the supremacy of the Repub- lican party. The poll tax, he says, is being collected from everyone, and an- other "obnoxious'' feature is the as- eessment Of all property at it's real and Eull value, and the way the natives are Rowling over this is caution. "No one knows or can find out in advance what valuation has been put on his possessions, and can only fear the worst. In some instances the assess ments of land are ten times what they formerly were, and think the aver age increase has been threefold if not quadruple."

Sir William Ramsay believes that it Is quite possible that in some cases bread is radioactive. He thinks that the radio-activity would not do any harm, as is shown by the presence of radium in the waters at Bath and at
 Niesbaden. In both cases the water has to be drunk on the spot in order to get the full value of the cure. Sir William Ramsay thinks that this is partly due to the radioactive proper ties of the, water. He is inclined to think that there are radioactive gases in the air. The freshness of the air at certain times, he believes, Is due to their presence.

cadets at the military academy and OF

The report, which is endorsed by Pres

recommendations be carried out, Is
very long. It's most important feat
ure is the recommendation that the
Japanese art Of jiu jitsu be incorpor-
ated in the course with boxing and
wrestling. The board reports that it is
not of great value as a means Of phys

the system would inspire the individ-

In discussing the use Of swords and
after recommending their use on ships
to which objection is made by Actlns'
Secretary Darling, the report says: AS
regards the army, it may be said that
as far as the evidence at the disposal
of the board goes, the sentiment OF the
army is largely against the use OF any
sword at all by officers in the Held

Five Hundred People Join in Chase
and Several Shots Are Fired.
Special to Times-Republican.
Council Bluffs, March 31.-With a
crowd of 500 people chasing them for
the burglary of home on Harrison
street, and confronted with a high
board wall at the end of an alley, Ed
Burns and Charles Moore dashed into
the open door of kitchen and de-
manded the protection of the aston
ished householder.
A neighbor saw the men enter the
house and at once gave the alarm and
the men We're scared. away before Sc
curing any plunder. In their attempt
to get away one of them covered the
energetic neighbor while the other
mounted a high fence in the rear, he
in turn performing like service for
his pal. The police took UP the chase
and fired several shots during the
long run, and once the robbers return
ed the fire, the bullets going wild.
The shooting attracted a large crowd
and at the finish it is estimated there
were not less than 500 men and boys
in the spirited sprinting contest. The
robbers were taken to the station
where they confessed. A search re-
vealed considerable jewelry on them,
taken from places other than the one
visited The men refuse to give an
account of themselves, and it is believ-
ed they are professionals.

find evidence of terrorist activity IN

on it's condemned list thirty persons
headed by Grand Duke Alexis and
Governor General Trepoff. but the po-
lice, altho they have arrested several
persons with bombs in their posses
sion, and have taken many suspects
into custody, have been completely
baffled in their efforts to discover the
invisible hand which is directing the
campaign of the terrorists. The police
theory continues to be that the cen
ira. organizations Of those engaged in
the conspiracies are at Geneva and
Paris. and that the men arrested in
Russia are agents selected to execute
sentences.

to Cut His Visit Short, Greatly to
Disappointment of the Natives.

Tangier, Morocco, March 81. = The
steamer Hamburg with the German
emperor on board arrived here today
from Lisbon. The emperor was well
coined on landing by representatives

corting German cruiser, Prinz Fried
rich Karl, and land batteries and two
French warships now in these waters.

emperor, who was accompanied by
brilliant staff, rode on horseback

German legation. Later he re-embark-
ed on board the Hamburg.

barged, after having been scarcely two

corded splendid reception by the ma
tiyes, who, howeger, were greatly dis
appointed at the brevity. of his visit.

While the figures on the population

Major John T. Hume, who for twen-
ty-four years has been in the Office OF
the adjutant general serves his last
day today. At 5 o'clock his official re-
lation with the national guard in which
he has taken such deep interest for
so many years will cease. Mr.. Hume
has not fully decided upon what course
he will take but has decided that he
will hereafter remain out OF public
Office. He is considering two or three
business offers which have been made
to him. He will probably engage in
one in which he will invest capital In
the twenty-four years in which Mr.
Hume has been connected with the
guard he has become so familiar with
the work and the men that he rarely
refers to a book or paper for inforna-
ton aus to the guard work or the rec
ords of many of the men and officers.
Probably no public official has ever
given more thorough or more efficient
work than has Major Hume. The
guard work and Its records have be-
come his second nature.
If the people of Iowa should wake
up some morning and discover that
some hostile foreign army was hover
ing along the east bank of the Missis-
sippi river and about to invade Iowa
there is probably not a man in the
state or nation that could so quickly be
the master of the situation as Major
Hume. However, such an invasion is
not likely to come without warning and
in the meantime others will have am
pie opportunity to learn all that Major
Hume has acquired thru his long and
faithful service. Major Logan who
has been at the office this week is q
hard worker and an ambitious man.
He has pr-uverr a Very efficient county
recorder and will soon master the de-
tails of the adjutant's Office.
