Sues Because of Five Mile Walk.

During the recent ChautauQua assem-

accept the ticket because his train was
not scheduled to stop at Broughton.
Dever was put off the train and had to
walk the five miles to Broughton. 1t
seems that the road had advertised that
all trains would stop at Broughton dur

Interesting Talk by Geo. w. Stansfield
on What Makes a Cigar Popular.
The remarkable success of -Wads-
worth Bros Chico cigar in getting into
the mouths of smokers in Topeka is
astonishing.
Less than a year ago the Chico was
unknown here. Today, it is the most
popular cigar in Stansfield's large
stock, 632 Kansas avenue.
Advertising alone will not make
cigar popular said Mr.. Stansfield- "A
cigar must be good to meet with
sale in this city. 1 do not know of a
town where the smokers are as dis
eliminating as they are In Topeka, and
the fact that they have made Wads-

it sells for Sc. it is better than the

TIGHTEN GRIP ON FoRGERs.
More Forgers Punished in Past Yea,
Than Usual.

NEW YORK, July 13.-That the
punishment for forgery meted out in
court sentences is increasing, is the
opinion of the detectives of the Amer
lean Bankers association in a report
covering bank rObberies and forgeries
since September 1, 1904. Since May 81,
six professional forgers have been SEN
fenced to total of 80 years months
Imprisonment, an average Of five years
and five months each. Since Septem-
Der 1, 1904, the American Bankers as
ISOLATION has secured the arrest of %
special cases Of forgers, of which II
were convicted, and the arrest of 40
general cases, of which 25 were con-
victed Of burglars and holdup rob-
bers, GO have been arrested and 80
convicted. This amounts to conviction
in half of all bank robberies and for
geries where arrests were made.

Hard FIGHT With HoIdup.

SPOKANE, Wash, July 13.-The
daring attempt of lone robber to hold
up a Pullman car was frustrated by
Pullman Conductor Healey of Northern
Pacific passenger No. 4. About mid
night, just after the train left Sand
Point, Idaho, Healey found the robber
in the vestibule of the sleeper and
pluckily grappled with him. In the
scuffle the robber shot at Healey, the
bullet passing through his coat He
then beat Healey until the conductor
was almost insensible. Becoming
frightened, the robber made no effort
to hold up the passengers, but tried to
signal the engineer to stop the train.
Failing in this, he leaped from the car
and vanished. Healey was badly beat
en-, but not seriously injured. This is
the third holdup near Sand Point in
the last five years. No clew to the
robber is reported.

LARGEST BATTLEsHIP IN THE
WORLD is BEING BUILT
AT PORTSMOUTH.
Expected the Vessel Will Be Com
pIeted Within Sixteen Months
Equal to Two Ships.

LONDON, July Reconstruction of
the largest and most powerful battle
ship in the world is soon to begin at
the Portsmouth iockyard. 1t is plan
ned to build the vessel from the lay
ing Of the keel plates to the hosting of
the pennant in a period of sixteen
months. Thirty to thirty-six months
is the average time at present devoted
to the building of battleships Of small
result in a great economy, but, never
theless, the cost is estimated at near
ly $1O,OOO,000. So heavily will this ves-
sci be armed that she will be equal to
any two battleships now afioat, and
her striking power at SUCH a range as
that at which the engagement opened
in the battle of the Sea of Japan will
be as great as any three battleships
of the ordinary type. The displace-
ment will be about $4,000 tons. The
Dreadnought, as this battleship will
be called, will mount twelve 12-inch
guns of the latest type, throwing three
S5O-pound shells every two minutes.
The vessel will be driven by turbines,
and will be able to steam at upwards
of 20 knots an hour. She will carry
no secondary armament.
The elimination of the 6-inch guns,
borne by practically all the battle
ships of the world hitherto, is one of
the main lessons reduced from the long
range actions which have been fought
in the Far East. The essential feature
of a battlesnip in modern conditions,
it is now realized, must be the ability
to deliver stunning blows at distance
of five to six miles, and this the
Dreadnought, with her dozen great
guns, will be able to do With terrific
effect. No battleship has hitherto
mounted more than four of these
weapons.

IRREGULARITIES ARE DISCoV-
Erred IN SHERIFF'S OFFICE
IN UMATlLLA COUNTY.
Tw3nty Thousand Dollars Is Amount
Reported by Clark e Buchanan
Sheriff Makes Statement.

PENDLETON, July 13.-Clark &
Buchanan, who are exporting the
books of the Umatilla county officials,
have reported to the county court that
they have discovered a shortage in the
sheriff's office to an amount Of $4,000.
Several irregularities in the system of
collecting the county funds and turn
ing the same over to the county treas
urer are said to have been discovered
by the experts. T. L. Taylor is the
sheriff at present When the report of
the shortage was made public yester-
day afternoon it caused considerable
excitement about the streets.
It is the general impression that Mr..
Taylor is not responsible in an illegal
way for the shortage but that it has
occurred through the system employed
in keeping the accounts in his office.
1t is claimed that the irregularities
have dated as far back as 1897, when
Representative William Blakeley was
sheriff and that the alleged shortage
during that administration is approx
mately $4,000. During the past seven
years the moneys and accounts of the
office have been in charge of one Of the
deputies of the office, but VINO will be
held responsible for the alleged irreg-
ularities will be determined some time
soon.
Yesterday afternoon District AttOr-
ney G. W. Phelps called Sheriff Tay-
lor's attention to the alleged irregular
tiles in his office and the officer was
apprised of the shortage as discovered
by the experts. Sheriff Taylor, it is
understood, at once secured $4,000
from private sources to apply on the
amount of the shortage.
Sheriff Taylor Talks.
Sheriff Taylor when interviewed in
regard to the shortage, said that the
$4,000 turned over to the county
treasurer yesterday was simply money
which had been delayed in turning over
since June on account of the rolls not
being balanced.
The experts have not made any re-
port as yet and 1 do not know what
is claimed" said the sheriff, but I be-
lieve that it will come out all right
when the matter is fully Strengthened
out.
Il know that there is still some
money to be turned over on some of
those old rolls and 1 will not know
just what the amount is until the books
are balanced, but 1 cannot believe that
there is anything wrong with the ac-
counts"
