The indictments are the outgrowth
of the operations of the bank against

months ago by the postoffice depart
ment. The Institution had upward Of
100000 capital and deposits, all sup
piled In small sums by investors In

False Dawn.

There is one hour OF the night be-

O'Clock, TO be accurate-when ali ma

shepherds and the old country folk
tell us about II. This hour is l,eralded
by the rooster growing, not this time
TO announce the hour of dawn. but az

that the entire herd of cattle wake up
and walk about and lie down and rest

selves and crop the grass, the birds
stir In their nests, the cowboys horses
and the shepherds dogs open their
eyes, too, to look for moment at the

Grand Opera house last night at the
close of the regular performance OF
the Emma bunting company, which
has been at the Grand all week. There
were nine numbers on the program,

OF the numbers were very good and
would do credit to professionals, while
a few showed amateurism at every
point. The audience in the gallery
showed their appreciation, and also
their disapprobation of the different
numbers.

awarded to the Hill brothers. who ap-

Ice For Heating.

The use of ice for heating purposes

that such misfortune may be pre-
vented by covering the fruit ca. with
coat Of ice--a thing easily accom-
panied by turning hose upon 1t and
allowing the water to freeze until

glittering blanket. @
.a It may, indeed. be appropriately
called a blanket. inasmuch as II pre-
vents the radiation Of heat from the
interior Of the car. The ice being a
good non.conductor. the warmth is re-
tanned and the fruit, or possibly 1t
may be vegetables. goes ON Its way

grave of John Clay. the guard killed
by escaping eonyicts from the state
penitentiary. The parts of his speech
similar to those Of Mr.. Bryan in con.

says. he declared at the time. The
governors speech was taken stenog-
raphically and these paragraphs were
reproduced in local paper without
quotation marks. Some one remarked
the parallel and IL was sent broad

HEARST As MAYOR
MAY YET BE THE RESULT OF THE
q RECOUNT At NEW YORK
The Gain by Precincts VIII Give Him
a Plurality Over Mcclellan
" Kept Up.

New York, Dec. -Four ballot
boxes were opened and the votes re-
counted with solemn judicial cite
mony before Judge Amend tonight,
with a net gain of II for William r..
Hearst. Seven votes were added to
the Hearst total, while Mcclellan lost
ten. In the four boxes were found an
astonishing number Of ballots such as
Justice Gierger1ch has ruled out as
spoiled ballots. In one district alone
were found 81 of these, 81 of them
counted for Mcclellan and 10 for
Hearst. Instead of the simple cross,
they were marked with eriss-crosses,
corkscrews, curly-kcws, double crosses.
/ Every one Of these will be contest
ed by tho Hearst counsel. Under the
changed order of Justice Amend, by
which tonight's count was regulated,
neither side was permitted to inter
fere with these ballots, and they, had
to remain as originally counted by
the inspectors.
These ballots are to be made the OBJ
iect Of the hardest fight of the contest.
In view of the great number Of them
found in the boxes, tonight It was evil
dent to every one present that there
arc in all probability many more than
enough OF them to change the entire
result of the election. The Hearst
lawys will apply at once for an Or
der to compel the election inspectors
to reject them, and they asserted their
confidence tonight that they will be
| successful.
The vote counted tonight was that Of
but four out Of the 1,948 election dis
| tricts of the city. Tho result shows
a gain of four and one-quarter votes
to the election district, which, II main
tanned throughout the city, would re-
verse Mayor McClellan's majority and
give Mr.. Hearst about as large a plu-
rality as that which the mayor now
! has.

BELOW DECKS ON A LINER.
Why the Chief Engineer Has Heavy
Responsibilities.

One Of the monthly magazines
printed a fiction story whose purpose
was to show that when a great Allan
tic liner makes an unusually fine rec
ord the captain gets the credit, whilo
the chief engineer Is overlooked en-
tirely. Praise of the officials of the
line, 1t was contended, invariably goes
to the men on the bridge instead of
to the men below the decks, to whom
1t belongs rightly, and further on the
point was made that the public knows
only the captains Of the ships, while
the chief engineers, really Of equal or
of more Importance, are lost in anon
UNITY.
Before the ships sail about 5000
tons of coal has been dumped into the
bunkers through chutes, and nearly
as many tons of fresh water for use in
domestic purposes and also for max
ing steam. Before the voyage begins
the men who are to care for the ma
chinery and those who handle about
$40 tons Of coal a day report.
This ship has about 10000 horse
power capacity and is a seven day
boat There are employed in the pro.
pelling departments about this force.
20 engineers. 8 electricians, 2 refrig-
Grating engineers, deck engineer. IS
oilers, 8 water tenders, "a firemen and
80 coal passers, total force of 140
men.
This ship has eight double ended
boilers, each with eight furnaces, and
at least two single ended boilers, each
with four furnaces, making altogether
70 furnaces. These furnaces eat up
the $50 tons of coal a day.
The coal passers take 1t from the
bunkers which extend alongside the
ship and wheel 1t in barrows, depos-
iting 1t in front of the boilers. The
firemen feed II to the furnaces, their
skill consisting In so spreading II on
the fires that the greatest number OF
heat. units will result in making the
steam. The engineers and oilers and
water tenders all have their appro
pirate work to do. and they work n
shifts of four hours each.
The one demand ON a liner, con-
stant and unceasing, Is for steam. II
is to make that product that fully 15O
men are kept employed where the
passengers never SEQ them.
The responsibility for running az
the complicated mechanical equipment
rests with one man. the chief engi-
neer. To be ready for emergencies,
to watch every part, piston, valve,
shafts and whatnot, and to keep all
the parts at their highest efficiency,
is far more complicated job than
merely navigating vessel. 1t re.
quires as much nerve and mental cal
iber as the captains task, and yet the
world almost never hears the name OF
the chief engineer Of any liner.
