Forgery bv Phonograph.

Forgery by photograph is a new
crime discovered in Hungary. The
son of a wealthy peasant proved an
oral will of his father by testimony OF
servants who heard a voice from the
dying parents bed saying. 81 leave
all my property to my eldest son,
Alois, and my other children are to get
nothing" Such a statement is valid
in Hungary. Subsequently, however,
the police were informed that the voice
the servants heard was not that Of his
father, but that Alois had spoken the
words into a photograph. He had
placed the instrument under his IA
theirs bed, and when the old man had
lost consciousness called the servants
in and set the it going. The police
searched the house and found the pho

The rapid advance of Indian terri

by the changed aspect Of the police In

says the Kansas City Journal. The
new administrations both in Tulsa and
Muskogee have relegated the cartridge
belt and cowboy hat formerly worn by
the police to the plains where they be-
long and have adopted the regulation

neuelnnment in Alaska

Alaska is still a great lone land,
but with considerable railroad build
ing in progress, ii may be or the eve
of a great change. People prefer to
travel to gold fields by rail to track
ing over mountains and wastes, and
we may yet see considerable towns de-
velop there, for those now in existence
are in many instances little more than
hamlets. Any place in Alaska having
300 inhabitants car become an incor-
porated town. Even these cannot be
numerous in this vast region. Con-
gress has neglected Alaska. The
schools are small and struggling and
their condition deters many transients
from becoming homeseekers. AS a
commercial proposition Alaska has
made a good showing, but the visions
Of the greatarctic commonwealth which
were entertained at the time of its ac-
QUESTION have not materialized.
