100000 FOR WHITE HOUSE
Takes an Immense Sum of Money to
Maintain the Executive House
hold establishment.

White house expenses for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1907, will be full
ly twice as large as for any previous
year, except 1903, when the mansion
was remodeled. The sundry civil APP
preparation bill carried S113, 600 for
these expenses, of which $50, 900 is for
extraordinary repairs and refurnish-
ings and $25, 600 for travelling expenses
sof the president, his attendants and
invited guests. This new item, which
was without precedent, was to relieve
the president from accepting free
trains from railroad companies. 1t
was stricken from the BILL however,
apd the president must continue to
travel as the guest of the railroads or
foot his own bills.
The appropriation for the white
house last year was S53, 600. The fur
nishings of the mansion were new in
1903.

Fred L. Purdy, editor of The In

to Jail to serve twenty-siX days of an
unexpired sentence Of thirty days fixed
by Judge Afford, of the criminal
court.
Purdy published two editorials in

grand jury which recently indicted
Chief of Police Methuen on the charge
of assault and activity in politics. He
also questioned Affords fitness as a
judge.
He was cited for contempt of court
and convicted before Judge Afford.
He was released after four days on a
writ of habeas corpus. Judges Nc
Gibbs, Carter and feathers, of the SUI
perior court, heard his appeal. They
decided they had no right to overrule
Judge Afford and that the latter had
acted within his authority.
Purdy was taken to Jail Immediately

ROSE FROM HUMBLE START
From PiIinq Wood in 1869 He Is Now
General Manager OF the New
York Central Railway.

An example of business and general
success which may be quoted as an in
spixation to young Americans is fur
nished by the recent appointment of
w. c.. Brown, late superintendent of
the Burlington railroad system, to be
president and general manager of
the New York Central. Mr.. Brown is
young man who began life as piler
of cordwOod in railroad yard, stud
led railroad .telegraphy and became
an operator, rose to division superin-
tendent, division manager and thence
to his present position, one of the
most enviable in the American rail
road world.
William G. Brown is a native of
Herkimer county, New York, where he
was born July %, 1858, and is there
fore how only 50 years old. He began
his railroad career with the Chicago,
Minneapolis and st. Paul railroad at
the age of l6 and was first engaged in
piling cOrdwOOd and fueling engines
on that line, which at that time, like
all other western lines, burned wood
exclusively. The next year found him
telegraph operator, and two years
later he was made night dispatcher on
the Illinois Central in Iowa, whence
he went to like position on the Rock
Island. In 1876 he went to the Bur
lington, becoming general manager of
the Missouri lines in 1890, and general
manager of the whole Burlington sys-
TEN in 1896 In 1901 he became vice
president and general manager of the
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern,
and now has a like position with the
New York Central.
Mr.. Brown has never engaged in
any occupation but that of railroad
! ing, and in that his progress has been
constant and upward from the most
| humble position to almost the highest.
! He is man of constant and simple
industry, dependent and relying upon
his subordinates for details, holding
| the subordinates to strict account, but
I genial, quiet and unaffected in man
ner His whole success has been due
to his own merits, unaided by any eX-
| ternal influence.

FLAT TENANTS WEAR RUBBER HEELS

the Noise
Rubber heels at the expense of land
lords for fat jewellers is the latest
innovation of renting agents in Wash
ington. 1t seems that the landlords
have come to the conclusion that
something must be done to stop the
nerve SCATTERING noise caused by the
walking over hard wood floors with
heavy Shoes. They talked the matter
over and reached the conclusion that
it would be necessary either to fur
nish carpets or rubber runners for each
fat or rubber heels for the tenants.
AS it is undoubtedly cheaper to
supply rubber heels than carpets and
rugs, it was decided to make the wear
ing of rubber heels by the tenants
compulsory. AS a result there is a
clause in the more recent leases of
apartments that every member of a
family must wear rubber heels on
shoes while in the apartment. The
innovation is for the purpose of Sc
curing some manner of quiet in the
crowded apartment houses.

"DEADWOOD DICK" is DEAD
FAMOUS WESTERN CHARACTER
HAS JUST DIED IN POVERTY.

Thrilling Deeds of the Dime Novel
Hero Have Quickened the Pulses
of Many American Youths.
How often have the pulses OF Ameri-
can youths quickened at the dime
novel recital of the thrilling deeds of
'Deadwood Dickw How many OF
these youths-some of them now show
ing locks that are bit grizzled from
the maturity of years-have stuck
shining pistol into their belts, fear
some weapon, and gone forth into the
back lots to emulate "Dick" in his
wild escaDades! There have been
tens of thousands of juvenile and
amateur "Deadwood Dicks, "Wild
Bills" Texas Charleys," and the
like, during the last thirty years to
make the welkin ring with their
shouts of challenge or defiance and
the rattle of the discharge OF their
lath and single firearms. Once on
time-and not very long ago, either
it was rare thing to find boy OF
thirteen who hadn't his ideal dime
novel hero, than whom in his mind
no character in history or literature
was greater. And "DeadwoOd Dick"
was one of the favorites. According
to the stories he was handsome, dash
ing, fearless, educated, rough or ten
der as occasion might require, re-
sourceful to a marvellous degree, a
dead shot, an athlete, and about every
thing else that stirs a boys magma
ton and admiration. But most of
"Dick's" attributes were real fiction.
AS a matter of fact, he was a living
parsonage who thirty-odd years ago
was something of a character in the
mining camps of the west He was
particularly well known in Deadwood,
Cripple Creek and various Black
Hills camps. A few days ago he
died, a broken old pauper in Grip
pie Creek hospital, and was buried in
the potter's field What a sad ending
for so brilliant dime novel hero.
His name was Frank Palmer, and
he was born in Illinois. He claimed
that he was related to former United
States Senator John M. Palmer, who
ran for president on gold ticket
some few years back, and also to Pot
ter Palmer, the millionaire hotel man
of Chicago. How true that claim was
nobody knows. When he was eigh-
teen years old Frank Palmer drifted
west to the mining camps, where he
became successful gambler. He was
of the ''plunger" sort, and played for
big stakes. 1t is also said that he
was handy with his revolver, which
he used to effect on several occasions.
After remaining in the camps for
about twelve years he returned to IL
linois and is said to have married
the daughter of an Episcopal minister.
But his married life was brief. He
left his wife and went back to the
mining camps. But his luck and his
nerve we're gone. For the past eight
or nine years he peddled chewing
gum and candy in Cripple Greek, car
rying his meagre stock about IN
shoe box From exposure and lack
of proper nOurishment, and probably
also from dissipation, he fell Ill OF
pneumonia and was taken to the
county hospital as a pauper patient.
The last scenes in the melOdramatc
career of "Deadwood Dick" will not
appeal to those who formerly admired
him as a dime novel hero, except to

Arkansas Valley we cite the report
of the Woods melon growers associa
tion al Melonfeld. Bent county. The
twenty-four members received Sl5.-
is0.s2 for the past seasons crop. an
average of Ss45.44 or a net average
Of tl37 an acre. The total acreage
was 100 acres in cantaloupes and thir-
teen In wstermelons. The association
shipped thirty ears of cantaloupes
east and $500 crates TO local points by
express. Twelve cars of watermelons
were also shipped out. The average
price for crates in Chicago was sl.s3
for standards and sc cents for ponies
and locally $1-5O for standards and II
cents for ponies. These srs about a.
good prices as have been reported for
several years past and they are an
evidence that oantaloupe growing may
b. made to pay.
The Manzanola Cantaloupe A-socia-
tipn received on an average s1.20 for
standard crates and So cents for pom
les. The fact that Manzanola canta-
ioupes topped the eastern markets
with one exception is conclusive evil
IeuCe that Manzanola Fruit As-ocia-
tion goods are In great demand by the
eastern consumer. The cantaloupe
growers Of this immediate section re-
ceived si1.335.25 for melons shipped
through the association besides ship
ping large amounts individually. II is
estimated that about one hundred
acres Of melons were planted which
would make an average Of s113.35 per
acre received through the association
one field Of five and three quarters
acres yielded its owner the handsome
sum Of $1.5ss.75 or an average OF 1913
