Morning tunnel. one of the richest sill
yer mines in the state. Every particle
of the elk, from the Colorado gem
stone eyes, down to where his topaz
hoofs are attached to the quartz be-
meath his feet, is typically Colorado.
1t will be a prize that the Elks who
win it will take home to their lodge
rooms to be kept as long as their Or
ganization remains intact.
Mr.. Shaffer's intention in giving this
prize was to make this the most re-
markable annual reunion of Elks ever
held in point of attendance of ladies.
The attendance of ladies is expected
to be fully as large as that of men.
The lodges of the country contest
ing for this prize must be outside of
the state and the large lodges of the
nearby states. The prize is by far the
most costly and beautiful ever offered
in the United States for a similar pur-
pose The artist who designed 1t and
the sculptor who modelled the figure of
the elk are among the celebrated men
of their class in the country, and gave
their work freely for the cause for
which the elk was created
1t is expected to send this magnifi-
cent elk figure on a tour of the prin-
cipal cities of the country before July
Is, when the convention meets, so that
| interest in the attendance of ladies at
the Elks' annual reunion may be stim-
| ulated.

SACRAMENTO. March 25.-Fred-
erick Cox, president of the California
State bhnk and formerly state senator
for Sacramento county, died at his
home in this city early this evening.
Senator Cox was well known all over
the northern part of this state. Besides
his splendid properties in this city, the
firm of Clark & Cox, of which he was
member, had large holdings of land
in thisN and other counties. In politics
Senator Cox was a Democrat, and he
stood high in the councils of his party.
He had been sick for three months
and it had been known for two months
that he could not recover. A week ago
there appeared to be a change for the
better, but a reaction set in which he
was not strong enough to combat.

TRACT SOCIETY ANXIOUS
TO SUBDUE PHILIPPINES
Reports Read at Annual Meeting In
dicate Progress, but More Money
Is Necessary to Accomplish Work
Already Planned
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-The an
nual meeting of the American Tract
society was held tonight in the Luther
Memorial church. Justice Brewer of
the supreme court of the United States,
honorary vice president, presided; Cen
eraI o. o. Howard, president of the
society, delivered the address, and Rev.
Judson Swift, field secretary at New
York, made a report. General Howard
dwelt on the great and good work ac-
complished by the tract society. He
referred to those who at present are
clamoring for the United States to give
up the Philippines" and said
1--WE cannot do so rash thing until
we have accomplished for those islands
what Providence has intended us to do,
namely, Christianize them"
Secretary Swift stated that the an
nual report showed 106 publications
added to the society's list during the
year, including English, Polish, Spanish,
italian, German, Bohemian, Hungarian,
Benga, Gilbertese and Portuguese, Bulu,
Croatian, Russian, Ruthenian and UNI
bundu, and the total number of lam
guages and dialects in which the society
had published was now one hundred
and sixty-three The periodical circu-
lation for the year was $685. 900 copies,
making the grand total of volumes,
periodicals and tracts since the organ
ization of the society 754,956,946.
The secretary's report declared that
the question of the hour was the imnni-
grant problem, upwards of 100000 inn
migrants having arrived in the United
States during the year 1905.
The distinct publications at foreign
mission stations has reached a total of
5243 and the total grants of cash and
electrotypes amounting to $813,S47.
Not less than $1,000,00O is required to
furnish the literature needed. The So
cietys work Is wholly dependent on
donations and legacies. The donations
should be greatly increased to enable
the society to perform the work waiting
for accomplishment.
An earnest appeal is made to both
the evangelical churches and individ-
luals for larger donations.

Every
Heart Beat

Forces about 8 ounces of blood
out of the heart, and sends it
coursing through the veins to
the remotest part of the body.
This is the amount required by
nature to nourish and sustain
your body. Every ounce less
than this means a shortage in
natures supply of building-up
material. A weak heart cannot
meet this demand, and conse-
quently you suffer. If your
heart skips a beat, or flutters,
palpitates, pains you, or you
have shortness of breath, you
may be sure that the heart is
working imperfectly.

STARVING JAPS
BEING RELIEVED
BUT MISERY AND SUFFERING
STILL INTENSE
Many Parents Sending Children to
Crowded orphanaee-Diet Is
Flour Mixed With Straw
and Weeds
By Associated Press.

TOXIC, March 25.-The misery and
suffering in the famine districts has
been slightly relieved by the prompt
and liberal aid from domestic and for
eign sources and the abatement of the
rigors of winter. The local authorities
are trying to provide work for the able
bodied, but the extent of the work is
inadequate and tens of thousands are
still on the verge of starvation.
Many parents are parting with their
children, sending them to the already
crowded Okayama orphanage.
Several children arrived yesterday at
the Uyeno railway station in this city.
Among them was a girl years of age,
who was found treasuring package of
dirty old newspapers. On examining
the package it was found to contain
postal card with the address of the
parents of the child, who had been told
to mail the card upon her arrival at
her destination. Tho severity of the
suffering undergone by the children is
clearly depicted in the faces of those
who are compelled to part from their
homes where the food consists of flour
mixed with straw and weeds. The mix
ture is beaten fine, forming a pastry
which contains only 25 per cent actual
food value.
The government has remitted the
land tax in the famine districts, but
this will not afford immediate relief.
The liberal contributions from Ameri-
can sympathizers already are effective,
and the relief in the form of food and
clothing is commanding the heartiest
appreciation.
Another appeal for aid is presented
by the sufferers from the recent earth
quake in South Formosa, thousands
of whom are homeless.
The local government is busy pro-
viding food, caring for the injured and
recovering and removing corpses, sew
eral hundred of which are buried under
the debris.

Fresno Threatened

FRESNO, March 25.-yAll day today
and tonight City Engineer Hoxsie and
a gang of men have been at work on
the Herndon ditch a few miles east
of town, to keep the water from break
ing through the levees and flooding
the city. The water began to rise
rapidly in Dry creek early this morn
ing. Dry creek empties into the irri-
CATION system, which was unable to
carry off the flood waters. The water
in the Herndon ditch, which menaces
the city, rose higher than a week ago,
when the city was saved only by heroic
work. Dry creek flooded the country
north and west Of Clovis. A break in
the east bank of the Herndon ditch
let the water in on a large vineyard
acreage. If the water runs off in a
few days it will not do any damage

The volume of business done by these
concerns was large. 1t was said that
as high as twenty criminal operations
a day were performed in some of these
offices and that the income sometimes
ranged as high as $4,000 a week.

New Senatorial District
and Judicial Circuit
Movement on Foot Looking
to Their Creation---Irwin
County in the New
Apportionment.

There is movement on foot
looking to the creation of new
state senatorial district and new
judicial circuit, Ia both of which
Wilcox county is interested.
The proposed reapportion-
ment is as follows:
Senatorial district-Willcox
Irwin, and Turner counties.
Judicial Circuit-.W Wilcox,
Irwin, Coffee, Crisp, and Tiff
ton counties.
Ia regard to the first. we do
not now see the need of this new
senatorial district. 1t is a new
proposition, and we haven't stu
died the situation. However,
we see no material objection to it
but as yet we do not recognize its
need.
Of the new judicial circuit.
though, we believe that it would
be to the best interest of all con-
cerned. 1t is an evident fact that
we need more judicial circuits.
Nearly all through the Oconee
circuit this year, or at the least,
in quite a number of instances,
the necess ityof calling adj ourned
terms of court is recognized to
exist. This is evidence that
there is too much work for the
circuit-that dockets are over
crowded.
Every term there are many
cases that cannot be reached by
the various courts. This entails
unnecessary cost on litlgauts,
attorneys, the counties and all
concerned. From a prue BUSH
ness standpoint, we do not think
we are in error in concluding
that we need new circuit. We
trust the efforts now on foot in
his cause NAV not prove futile. =
