the largest yet held in the state, but

its arena is larger than that of the

manifestation of loyalty and patriot
ism on..the part of it's members, it is
right now.

With all of them honeycombed by
graft. the edges of which, only,
have been touched by recent exposure
and prosecutions, there will be a re-:
velation OF rottenness that will as
tound the country and create a de-
mand for a Democratic administra-
tion to clean the Government work

Chicago, Aug. 1.-The names of %

ming Monday in connection with the
charges against the Standard Oil
company and a number of railroads
entering in Chicago were drawn from

EAGLES IN
The Daring and Skill of These Fierce
Birds Of Prey.

OrnitholoGists are inclined to dis
courage the idea that eagles are in the
habit of attacking large animals, but
a contest witnessed by an observer dis
pels such a theory. The battle was
between an eagle and IA stag.
The bird singled out from a herd n
particular buck, which it succeeded in
driving from the rest. 1t struck the
animal with its powerful wings, knock
ed it down and finally killed it. y still
more remarkable spectacle is well au-
thenticated. An eagle attacked 81
fawn in the highlands Of Scotland.
The cries OF the little one We're an
swered by its dam. which sprang upon
the eagle and struck it repeatedly with
its forefeet. Fawn. deer and eagle
rolled down a declivity, the bird was
dislodged from its hold and the ia wn
rescued.
Many traditions are extant as to the
carrying off of children by eagles. The
most recent case bearing close scru-
tiny is one which happened in South
Africa. A Beer farmer whose stock
had been harried by eagles lay in am
bush for the robbers and saw one of
them descend and carry off the five
year-old child of one of the Kaffir serv-
ants. He shot the bird, which, with
the child still clutched in its grip, fell
into a thorn bush. The bird was dead,
but the child was little hurt.
Two eagles will stalk a covert in
concert. While one conceals itself the
other beats about the bushes with
great screaming, driving out its quarry
for the hidden eagle to swoop down
upon. An even more insidious method
has been observed. An eagle seeing a
sheep on the edge of Il precipice few
at it, screaming shrilly and with force
full beat Of wing hurled it into the val
ley below, where it could devour it at
its leisure. In the light of such rec
ords there is good reason for believing
the legend of the eagle dropping Il tor
toise on the bald head Of IIschylus,
the Greek poet, and SO causing his
death.

Curious Facts About the Peoples
Fiscal Agcnc

Fiscal Agency
The treasury department is the most
Important branch of the government
next to the state department. 1t is the
fiscal agency of the people. At its head
is the secretary of the treasury, who,
for a salary of 500 q day, is responsible
for the collecting and disbursing Of
$1,500.OOO every day in the year and
for the custody all the time of more
than 81 900, O0O,00 in cash and bonds.
The various secretaries of the last for
ty years have handled altogether the
incomprehensible sum of $3.50 .000.-
600. What is more, during all that time
less than $25O,OO0 was lost in the treas
ury department.
During any one week Of the present
year the treasury officials expended
more than was required to maintain
the entire public service for the whole
year 1905. The money collected by
the treasury last year. in round figures
was S54O,O00,0 900. The total amount
expended in the same twelvemonth
was 1852, 100000. We spent thus S42.-
100000 more than we tool in, but full
100000 of the excess of expenditure
over revenue Is accounted for in the
single check given in payment for the
Panama canal property.
The biggest bill collected by the treas
ury was 1921 .O00,OOO for customs, the
second largest bill collected was for
$3.50, 000, 900 for internal revenue, then
10000 900 was taken in for the sale OF
public lands and S31, 100000 for various
small matters. The largest bill paid in
the same time was S142. 000, 900 for
pensions, then $115,O0O,O 600 for our
army and $102,OO0.00O for our navy.
To Indians there was paid q little mat
ter of 100000 and for the interest
on the public debt S24.0Q0,000. Finally.
the treasury expended $1SG, 100000 for
mere miscellaneous items" If we
count all the dollars paid out by the
treasury since Mr.. Roosevelt entered
the White House We find that thes sun
is equal TO the sum of all the money in
