are lot of them in Washington
who would pay more than that tt

:, is said that many charges o
graft in the government printing
oi-.cc will grow out of the investi
gation into the monotype contract.
One of the matters to be inquired
into is the cost of machinery and
supplies, which is said to be excess.
i've. There will also be an exami.
nation into the public printers pay
rolls.
Instances are recounted with Cir
cumstantial detail of men serving
on two or three payrolls and draw
ing salary from each.
The electrical supplies for the es-
tablishment are alleged to afford a
fruitful field for inquiry. Certain
machinery was recently installed
at a cost of about $4,000. EN-
perts visited the office, inspected
this machinery and said it was
worth about half the sum.
Bigler Johnson was hanged at
Towanda Tuesday for the murder
of his wife, Margaret Johnson, aged
40 years, and her neice, Anna Ben
jamin, aged 10 years, committed
Sept. Is, 1904, at Macedonia, three
miles from Towanda. Charlie
johnson has been convicted of muir
der in the first degree for the same
crime. On September %, 1904,
Bigler was arrested charged with
the crime, but he denied his
guilt. Later, when questioned, he
claimed that his mother Sophia
Merritt, and his brother Charlie had
planned and committed the murder
in order to get his wife from whom
he was separated, out of the way
so that he would not have to pay
So Der month alimony.
Bigler has confessed to his spirit
ual advisor and to the officers of the
commonwealth again. This time
he denies the story that he first told
Rev. f. w. Dewitt of Athens to the
effect that he committed the das-
tardly crime alone and unassisted,
and said that the story that he told
the police is correct; that he was to
pay his mother and brother Charley
to do the killing SO each and that
they afterwards told him how Char
ley had gone in and struck Mag.
Then the little girl, Annie Benjam
in, had ran out of the house and
Charley went after her, striking
her with a club and then bearing
her body back to the heuse, placing
it on the bed with Mag. Bigler
said that his mother and Charley
told him that they then poured oil
on the bodies and on the bedding
and carpet, then set fire to the oil
and came out of the house, locking
the doors. Then they made for
home ard Charley went on to the
place where he worked.

WESTERN NEVADA LOSES.

When the Southern Pacific COMPANY
turned it's trackage between Sparks
and Ogden over to the operating de-
partment of the Oregon Short Line the
people of Nevada did not deem the cur
cumstance worthy of more than pass
ing comment, says the Carson News. It
now develops, however, that this was
a severe blow to the state, especially
the western portion.
Never before have the newspapers
sent up such a howl of indignation
against the Southern Pacific as at pres
emit. Never have the people rejoiced at
promised building of competing lines as
they do now.
The cause of this condition of af-
fairs is apparent. The operation, not
only of the main line, but of the New
ada & California, has passed into the
hands of a bunch of officials in Utah,
nearly all of whom are recent importa-
lions from the east. They do not seem
TO caIe except 10 grasp. Ineir attel-
ton is directed not toward traffic win
ming by liberal treatment, but to grab
bling a carload here and there by re-
sorting to freezeout methods, or what
look on the surface to be such.
1t is an even wager that if the operl-
ton of the Southern Pacific lines in Ne
vada were in the hands of the San
Francisco office, as in the past, the Vir-
ginia & Truckee would have no diff
Guilty in connecting with the Mound
ouse-Churehill stub and thus Reno and
Carson city would enjoy close trade re-
~lations with the great mining camps 20

National Dehts.

The interest bearing debt of Ger many has recently been increased for canal building purposes to $S75, 100000. This seems a large sum, but it is twenty million dollars less than the interest-bearing debt of the United States. Our debt stands at $S95, ,000, 900. In 1865 our lnterest-bearing debt reached to $2,200, ,O00, ,00O. It has been cut down three-fifths.
 The debts of the other great powers are still very large. The debt of France is $5,O00,0OO, ,OOO; Englands, $3 00,O00, ,0O0 Italy's, $2,500,000, 900; Spain's, $2,O00, 100000, and Autsria- Hungarys, $1,1OO000, ,0OO. If debts be estimated per capita or according to the property of the people, 1t will be found that our debt is lighter than that of any other country
 The German debt scarcely repre- sents the indebtedness of the German empire, for the other German states have debts that aggregate $2,7G0, ,000,- 900. But our American states have debts also New York alone proposing to spend $101 100000 on a canal. Germany and the United States have pulled over snags and through morasses with smaller accumulations of debts than any O. the great powers. The debt of this country will be con siderably increased on account of the cost of the Panama canal, but this in crease is not expected to be burden, for the belief is that the canal will soon meet it's own cost

Greater Piitsburq in 1910.

A bill looking to Greater Pittsburg has passed the Pennsylvania legis- lature, and local referendum is con fidently expected to consummate the long-pending plan of consolidation.
 In the last census year Pittsburg had but 347,OOO people. being the elev- enth city in the list. The new or Greater Pittsburg will have at least 600,000 people. Alleghany had in 1900 alone 135,00O. and 1t probably holds over 150,0O0 people today, and Ale ghany is but one of the numerous suburbs of Pittsburg.
 Greater Pittsburg expects to out rank in the census tables of 1910 St. Louis, Boston and Baltimore. If it does, 1t will take fourth place. being outranked only by New York, Chicago and Philadelphia. But the race for

Production of Piq Iron.

In 1861 the United States made but 653,000 tons of pig iron. From that time to the present day our record in iron-making has been progressive and even brilliant. It is the wonder of the world today. We are now making about twenty million tons year of the great commercial metal which all countries need and must have even if they are in a condition of decay. The world can get along without gold, but not without iron.
 Up to 1880 Germany made more iron than we did, and up to 1895 Eng land led us in the iron race. In 1893 we made eighteen million tons; in 1904 our production fell back to six teen and half million tons, and in the present year We bid fair to show an output of twenty million tons. The worlds production will not greatly exceed this year forty million tons, and the United States is making just about one-half of the worlds output.
 This wonderful progress in iron making is the work of the last forty years, really of the last thirty years. In a generation we have become the iron-making country of the world, turning out about one-half of the en- tire worlds product, and yet, stranger still, we need every bit of it for home consumption. True, we send abroad large quantities of iron and steel man. ufactures, but of pig iron or billets next to none. This is the double mar vel of the age-our production of pig iron, and it's consumption on the spot. Nothing approaching this double achievement can be found in the an- nals of other countries of historic times.
