POOR GIRL SHUT IN CONVENT.
Ono More Sucker" Nearly Landed by
That Old, Old SwindIe.

GAINESVILLE, Wis, Jan. 2O.-1t de-
veloped today that William T. Sherer,
a local druggist, was one Of the Wis
consin victims of the gang Of Spanish
swindlers that have been operating in
the United States through the mails.
Last October he received a letter pur-
porting to be from long lost relative
in the land Of the Dons, Of whom he
had never heard. The writer, after ad-
stated that he was dying and that Mr..
Sherer and a young girl in one of the
Spanish converts were the only heirs
to the estate he was about to leave.
Subsequently word came that the
relative was dead and that full de-
tails as to the steps which the James
vile man was to take were to be found
in the papers contained in a trunk in
a certain London hotel. In the mean
time, in order to establish his claims
and settle certain matters connected
with the estate it would be necessary
for him to forward 5000.
Mr.. Sherer did as requested, but
some days later his suspicious that all
was not right were aroused by an arti-
Gle exposing similar swindle ap
pearing in one of the papers. He tel
egraphed the postal authorities at
Washington to have the letter inter-
cepted, and finding that he was too
late, cabled through the Washington
office to Spain to have the postal au-
thorities there prevent the envelop
from reaching it's destination. They
were able to do so and the letter was
mailed back to Washington on January
II. After the necessary red tape and
identification are completed it will be
returned to GAINESVILLE. The cable tolls
amounted to $40. Postmaster ]. J. Col
Inns of Seneca was another victim of a
similar scheme, but his letter was
stopped in New York city.

Served With Roosevelt in Cuban
Campaign.
WAS IN THICK OF BATTLE At SAN JUNA
Believed Young Man Shot at Thursday
Evening Was Shooting at tho
Time.

Elmer Latrop, the young ranch hand
who accidentally shot and killed him.
self at the Maxwell ranch on the
Touchet Thursday evening, served
with President Roosevelt's band of
rough riders in the Cuban campaign
and made a brilliant record for nim-
self during the Spanish American
war. After the war young Lathrop
drifted about the country, finally COM
ing to Walla Walla several months ago
and securing employment on the Max
we'll ranch.
Lathrop was in the thick of the fight
at San Juan and several times had
horses shot beneath him. He often
spoke of the daring Of Roosevelt at the
battle of San Juan and said that in
the heat of battle he was several times
close to his commander. Lathrop was
extremely modest over his record as a
soldier and generally referred to the
part he took in the campaign as de-
lightful adventures.
Employees of the Maxwell ranch yes
terday made a thorough investigation
of the accident which resulted in Lath-
rop's death. The horse that he rode
was ROUNDED up anu the IIldThS VI d
bullet were found on the saddle flap.
The holster and belt were also found
by the men Of the ranch. The holster
was not bullet marked and the sup
position is that Lathrop as he was
riding along took a shot at a rabbit
or coyote The report of the revolver
probably caused his horse to start
bucking and, as the automatic revolt
verS are extremely sensitive on the
trigger, one Of the flying bullets struck
him in the leg, severing an artery.
The revolver had only one cartridge in
the chamber, the other nine having
been fired. Lathrop left trail of blood
from the place where he was pitched
from his horse to the spot where he
was picked up. Latnrop had no means
with which to bind up his leg. His
suspenderS were unbuttoned at the
back, but he was probably too ex-
hausted to remove them and bind his
leg.
A search of Lathrops effects yester-
day showed that he has 500 on deposit
at a local bank Several letters came

GREATEST MILEAGE OF ANY COUNTRY
Department of Commerce and Labor
Comments on the Great In
crease in Traffic.

The United States leads the world
both in the present mileage and the
recent growth of it's railways. This
is shown in report on the transporta-
ton routes and systems of the world
issued by the bureau of statistics OF
the department of commerce and labor.
1t points out that of the total rail-
way mileage of the world, aggregat1ng
in 1904, $4,000 miles, there were I'LL
074 miles in the United States, 33,323
miles in European Russia, 32,967 miles
in Germany, 2S,102 in France. 26,95O In
India. 24,120 in Austria Hungary, 22,-
sa4 in the United Kingdom, 1851 in
Canada, 1850 in Africa, 14,113 in AUS
tralia, 1859 in Argentina, 1886 in
Mexico, 1851 in Italy, 1858 in Brazil
1887 in Sweden, 1922 in Siberia, Man
churia and the other former Asiatic
possessions of Russia, 4,495 in Japan
and 1,1756 in China.
Growth of Railways.
The growth of the railways in the
United States has been very rapid. Be-
ginning in 1885 with 1000 miles, the
number steadily grew, and in the de-
cade 1S65-1875 it doubled and then
rapidly came up to the present number
which represents an outlay of eleven
and two-thirds billions of dollars out
of an aggregate cost of thirty-seven
billions for the entire world.
The total tonnage of the vessels fly
ing the American flag in 1855 was s.
212,OO1 tons and increased to 6,456,543
tons in 1905. This increase is due to
the increase in the tonnage of vessels
engaged in the coastwise trade.
The tonnage Of vessels engaged in
the foreign trade fell from 2,34S,35S
tons in 1855 to 943,750 tons in 1905.
Freight rates On both land and sea
have decreased. The rate per bushel
Of wheat from New York to Liverpool
was about 10 cents in 1873 and about
l cent in 1906
Passengers and Freight.
The amount of passengers and
freight transported has increased con-
siderably. During the last year the
railways transported 719,654,951 pas
sengers and 1,3O0,0O0,0OO tons of
freight, 497,3OO,OOO tons. The influence
