MINE OPERATOR HELD.
Grand Larceny Charges Filed Against
Him in Boston.

Boston, July 2.-Henry w. Com
stock, the mine operator who recent
ly reported to the police that he had
been robbed of securities valued at
100000, from a Fall river boat, was
held for the grand jury on the charge
OF larceny. Bail was fixed at $4,000.
Mr.. Comstock declared he would
MAKE no effort to secure bailSmen
and he was committed to jail.
Mrs. Cora rockingham, OF Atlantic,
Mass, is the complaining witness. She
alleges that she gave COmstOck two
$1,000 bonds of the Central railroad
on March 2S to be held as collateral
for the purchase of 100 shares OF
Chesapeake & Ohio stock. She claims
that she has not received any stock
and that the bonds have not been re-
turned. The case bears no relation to
the alleged robbery of June -.
Comstock is well known in New
York and Colorado. He was former,
ly a mining man.
James f. Hickey, manager of the
United States hotel, and James Mar.
tin Gray, of New York, who have
been appointed assignees of Com
stocks property, found 1915, 1000 worth
of stock of the Ute Creek gold mine
the Reta Alta copper mine and the
Pactolus gold and copper mine, all
situated in Colorado and notes foI
$4,000 secured by collateral of the
stocks
The assignees have no definite
knowledge of the amount of liabilities
but conjecture they will reach $500,
600. The Reta Alta mine is the only
one of the properties being operated
and it is said Comstock has invested
Sl50,000 in this mine during the past
IS months.
1t appears while ComstOck has been
doing brokerage business in stand
ard stocks. no securities other than OF
his Colorado mines were found in his
safe.
There are about Go creditors in this

TAFT PARTY IN
SAN FRANCISCO
SECRETARY AND ALICE ROOSE.
WELT GREETED BY LARGE
CROWDS.

San Francisco, July 4.-Secretary
of War w. H. Taft and party arrived

sembled at the ferry depot to watch
the party conclude their trip across

the automobile proceeded through the
crowd and up the main street of the

greeting that was extended them.
The distinguished visitors have
come in the midst of exceptionally
warm weather for the region about
San Francisco bay, the thermometer
having registered as high as "a de-
grees in this city today.
81 am thoroughly in favor of en-
forcing the Chinese excursion law to
the letter." said Taft, "but l am quite
sure it was never the intent of the
law to bar Chinese merchants and
students from the United States. Such
a policy might work a serious hardship
on our trade in China
The secretary and party will spend
busy four days in San Francisco and
vicinity before departing next Satur-
day on the steamer Manchuria for the
orient. Among the points of interest
which will be visited are the home

Nicholas u. an Unhappy Wretch.

There is no more unhappy wretch
in all this wide world than Nicholas
H., car and "autocrat of all the Rus
sias,' as he grandiloquently calls him.
self, writes A. Maurice Low. There
is no man for whom one must enter
tain more profound pity or more pro-
found contempt. Were Nicholas a
Nero or Charles H., his unrestrain-
ed passion or his love of pleasure
would command a certain respect, if
not exactly admiration. Nicholas is
neither; he more nearly resembles
that king of France contemptuously
nicknamed lie debonnaire, who, full
of good intentions, was of a nature too
vacillating to be able to carry his good
intentions into effect, and whose COM
plant nature finally brought him mis-
cry and to his empire dissolution.
Nicholas is a ruler who means we'll,
who takes life seriously, who would
like to see his people contented and
prosperous, but who accomplishes
nothing because he has no stability
and no strength of character. He is
a man without mental compass;
there is no polarization IN his mind;
there is nothing to hold him on a set
course. He swings from point to
point, like ship with rudder gone,
at the mercy of every passing slant
OF wind or ripping wave. At times
he appears almost the man of cou :.
age, of purpose, of determination;
and then after every effort comes the
reaction. Spent by his own evidence
of strength, frightened by the exer-
else of his will he turns to the doc
tors of superstition, the men whose
trade is omens, and he falls a prey
to their malign influence. For man
who seeks his inspiration delivered
through the lips of the dead, who per-
mits himself to be the tool of miracle
workers, who seeks portents in the
impalpable things of the air instead
of reading the signs OF the times in
the faces and the hearts of men and
women who surround him, can one
have anything else but contempt?
And yet one must be just, and one
must recognize that no matter what
he does he is surely marked for the
hand of the assassin. If he can not
escape from the thrall of the Pobied-
onOsteffs and the reactionary grand
ducal ring, he will be destroyed by
the bomb as was his grandfather; if
he yields to the benevolent dictates
of his own heart or the fear of the
vengeance of his long suffering sub
jects, he will perish under the dagger
of some member of his encourage, as
other members of his Inflated family
have. He can never close his ears
to the sound of the beating of the
wings of death. He can never shut
out from his vision the specter that
turks just beyond the reach of his
oustretched hand. From haunting fear
there is no escape. Despise him one
may properly, and yet one can not
fail to have for him pity.-EXtract-
ed from an article in The Forum.

Watered Railroad Stocks,

Chicago. July 6.-SlasOn Thompson,
of this city, one of the best known
authorities upon the transportation
problem has in pamphlet he has
prepared, shown how the much talked
of watered stock of American railway
companies has been absorbed. Mr.
Thompson's facts and figures are cor
rect beyond doubt and they show
the result of careful study and re-
search.
He says: For twelve years-1SSS
to 1899, inclusive. an average of 1894
per cent of American railway stocks
paid no dividends-the lowest amount
paying being 1888 per cent in 1896
and the highest 40.61 in 1899. Not
until 1901 did majority of railroad
stocks pay dividends whatever. Even
last year 1894 per cent of all the
railway stock in the country paid moth
ing.
During all these years the water
in railway stock was gradually absorb.

One Dollar Saved Represents Ten Dol.
lars Earned

The average man does not save to
exceed ten per cent of his earnings.
He must spend nine dollars in living
expenses for every dollar saved. That
being the case he cannot be too fare
full about unnecessary expenses. Very
often few cents properly invested,
like buying seeds for his garden, will
save several dollars outlay later on.
1t is the same in buying Chamberlain s
Collie. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
1t costs but a few cents, and a bottle
of it in the house often saves doc

BELT BANK ROBBED.
Thieves Break Into Vault and Use by.
Mantle on Safe.

Great Falls. July 2-The Bank of
Belt was burglarized Friday night
some time between midnight and
morning, apparently by experts, who
were thoroughly onto their business,
so far as safe cracking is concerned;
though the reward which met their la.
Dor must have been disappointingly
small. Entrance was gained to the
bank vault through picking out the
wall at the rear of the building and
the safe was blown open with nitro
glycerine. The explosion, which must
have followed, was so nicely calcu-
lated that the door of the safe was
blown out in such manner as to give
the burglars access to the upper part
of the safe, where the silver was kept.
This amounted to between $500 and
$500. The lower chamber of the safe,
which contained the currency and
gold, was left intact.

1882 EMPTY BEER
KEGS SHIPPED OUT
FIFTEEN CAR LOADS HAVE GONE
OUT OF PENSACOLA IN THE
PAST TWO WEEKS.

The fact is gathered from the note
book Of one Of the city sanitary IN
spectors that exactly 1882 empty beer
kegs we're shipped out of Pensacola
since the advent of the fever here.
This makes a total of fifteen car
loads of empty kegs shipped back to
the various breweries by local dealers
in a single month. The beer, of
course, was sold by he various sa-
looms in the city, and covered possibly
as much as two months supply, but
ever then, the figures are startling q
say the least. II is almost impossible
to figure out the number of glasses of
beer this represents, but il goes way
up into big figures.
If it was possible to gather up facts
as to the number Of empty beer bot
ties shipped out of the city, no doubt
the figures would be startling also,
but the sanitary men are not in a pO,
sition to know anything about the
empty bottles.
The are required, however, to have
the empty kegs shipped cut as readily
as possible, because these kegs are
great harboring places for mosquitoes.
And in some cases they are allowed
10 stand out in the rain and sun, and
mosquitoes sometimes breed in tie
barrels also.
Pensacola people are a thirsty set
evidently.
