GAMBLERS WILL
 AVOID TENNESSEE

Nashville, Tenn, April 29.-Profes- sional gamblers must either go to work, leave town, Or go to jail. This will be the new order of things within
 a few weeks, as Sheriff Johns IS preparing to rid the town Of proies- sional knights of the green cloth. The new yagrancy law passed by the leg islature places a powerful weapon in the hands of the officers of the laW' and the sheriff has announced his ln- tention to see that it is enforced III Nashville. The new law, known as the Mcfarland law. is one of the most radical and far-reaching meas ures that it was possible to draft. It is modelled after the Mississippi stat ute on the subject, and is designed 10 reach every possible description or man or woman who does not earn an honest living. It goes into minute de- tail in describing the classes of per sons declared to be vagrants. There are about twenty-five different descrlp- tions of men set out, and under some

 She with the perfume had stopped for a moment preparatory to crossing the street.
 You will pardon me, won't you, asked the seeker after rare scents, but would you mind telling me the name of that wonderful extract you have and where you got it?'
 Certainly not" was the response as the woman threw back her cape and showed beneath great corsage bou- quet of fresh double violets. - New York Herald

WANT LOWER
 DUTIES ON BOAS

New York, April 29.-Importers of women's boas, made of dressed and manufactured feathers, and having a cotton core, are awaiting with interest a decision soon to be made by the United States circuit court, regarding
 the classification for dutiable pur- poses, of this line of merchandise. Ac- cording to the importers, the cotton component is of insignificant value, compared with the feathers. Never theless, the collector of customs as sessed duty at the rate of 50 per cent, under the provisions in the tar if for feathers not specifically provid- ed for. The board of general apprais- CTS affirmed this classification, over- ruling the contention of George Legg, an importer of this city. In a brief filed with the circuit court, Kamerlohr & Duffy attorneys for the importer, contend that the boas should be deem ed unenumerated manufactured arti- cles under section 6 of the tariff, and
 as such pay duty at the rate of 20 per cent. Judge Martin has taken the pa
 pers under consideration, and will render a decision shortly.

Winnipeg, April 29.-Consolidated City of Winnipeg debentures, 4 per cent. 30-year term, will be ready for the market in a short time. Of these, S3,O0O,O0O debentures are for 1906 ex- penditures, including local improve ments, incinerator. high pressure sys- tenn, etc. The remaining $2,00000o bonds are for 1907 work, the principle of selling bonds before work is done having been adopted by the council lers. The mayor says its probable that the bonds will be placed in the London market. If such decision IS reached the mayor will go to Eng land in connection with the disposal of the debentures.

The Turkish Mangal.

In most of the houses i'll Constanti- nople as well as ill other cities of Tur- key heating in winter is done by means of the so called "mangal" This con sists principally of a receptacle for burning charcoal. A mangal may be nothing else than such simple brass or iron receptacle or may be quite an artistic and expensive article of most rare and valuable workmanship. The charcoal is first thoroughly burned through, and when it no longer emits any flame or odor the mangal is brought into the room for purposes of heating. Sometimes it happens that proper attention is not paid to the burning charcoal, with not infrequent fatal results.

LINEN SHORTAGE
 ALARMS MERCHANTS

New York, April 29.-As the pres ent season is practically over with im- porters of linens buyers have begun 10 leave for the other side in order to secure goods for 1908 as far ahead as manufacturers in Belfast and other market centers will agree to accept contracts. In some houses there is practically nothing left to deliver, and the manner in which shipments are coming forward plainly indicates that the goods are to be of service to the retail buyers during the spring and summer months. Some of the most prominent importers in the trade state that, taken as a whole their deliveries this year to the retail and jobbng trade have been some what better than they were last year. They have been able to accomplish this through the fact that goods which should have come forward early last season and during the later part of 1906, did not arrive until the latter part of 1907, and these goods were taken to fill the early demand this year. Further SUD- plies in the shape of orders placed last year for early delivery tbis year have also been coming forward, and these are now going to fill some of the orders for the current season, The situation in Belfast with regard to stocks is reported to be even worse than it is here, and there is practical ly nothing left to send forward to this market. The mills are working full time trying to turn out the orders on their books which are considerably behind time. Spinners are now refus
 ing to book any further orders for yarns for delivery even during the first part of 1908, In the meantime they are content to await further de- ve1opments before accepting contracts
 so far ahead The manufacturers of linens in Belfast, having spinning plants of their own, have been able to deliver goods more nearly on con- tract time than manufacturers who have been compelled to go into the open market and purchase supplies of yarns with which to turn out their or ders for finished goods.

Force Exerted by the Heart.

The force eXerted by the heart equals 120 tons lifted one foot. In other words, the work of the heart is equiv alent to raising it's own weight 10000 feet in one hour. A strong man can raise himself but 1000 feet in an hour. This enormous force, if exerted by the heart through fixed rigid pipe. would shoot the blood along with each jerk at rate of 200 feet second. How ever, the arteries, being elastic, are distended by the jerk or beat of the heart, and when the heart pauses after the beat the contraction of the arteries sends the blood along in steady non intermittent flow, which averages about one foot second

one of them 1t will be possible to con- vict any man who does not work for an honest living. One of the depu- ties of the sheriff said that there is very little gambling in Nashville now About all that is doing. he said, ;s an occasional game of poker, Or where q sucker can be picked up. But there are no longer any open gambling places. The man who only tackles games of chance occasionally is afraid to go into any of these places where he is afraid that it may be raided at any time. The gambling room can not be run without outside patronage, and for that reason, and much fear On their own account. they have been closed up. But the mere fact that there are professional gamblers to be seen loafng around where there were formerly gambling rocks makes il look like there might be games going on. Wuth this loafins business stop ped, there can be no talk of gambling going on, and it will then appear clear to every body that the sheriff has broh- en up gambling in Nashville, thing no man at one time said was impos- sible to do

Cosmo Flaco, aged about so years,
was found dead in the road between
the Country Club and the Stone place
northeast of town, Sunday morning
at nine o'clock. The body was discov-
cred by Albert Lee, and it was lying
in a gully. Sheriff Ballard brought the
body to town, and an inquest held
Sunday afternoon before Justice A. j.
Welter at the Ullery morgue, resulted
in a verdict that the Mexican had
come to his death by natural causes.
1t developed at the inquest that
Cosmo had been in town Saturday
night as late as nine o'clock, and very
drunk. The supposition is that he
started to his home in Chihuahua ad-
dition by way of the railroad and went
north instead of south, losing his
way soon after leaving the track at
the first crossing north of town. There
were tracks and marks in the road
many times before he finally gave up
unable to proceed farther. There was
no evidence of foul play. Death no
doubt resulted from intoxication AND
exposure The mans clothing was
scant and soaked with the cold rain.
The deceased leaves a family of
four daughters, the eldest fifteen, who
are among the most respected people
Of Chihuahua addition. He came here
seven years ago from Abilene, Texas, |
and had worked as a laIborer AlthO' /
addicted to drink, Cosmo always pro |
vided for his family. The body is be
ing held at the family home in Chi /
luaaua awaiting word from his faith
ar, who lives either at Abilene or Bar
stow, Texas.

NO AUTO FROM TORRANCE
SINCE SATURDAY NOON

The last automobile that arrived
from Torrance was the one that came
shortly after noon Saturday. The 9th
ers are still beating their way in from
the other terminal of the auto route
Snow and rain are the causes OF the
trouble. The auto that went out from
Roswell Saturday, with Miss Cora
Kelley as a passenger, is believed to
have gotten through all right. There
is some doubt about the one that left
Sunday with w. w. Richards and c.
L. Tallmadge as passengers. The last
car in the local garage left this after
noon for Torrance with no passen-
gers. No more can be sent until one
comes in. The work team and men
have been out on the auto road and
came in late last night from 25 miles
up the route. They report that it was
showing hard there Saturday evening
and Sunday morning.

Little Salt and No Corn.

The Roswell markets are now with
out corn, and except the finer grades
for table use, there is practically no
salt in town. The merchants say the
blame should rest on the railroad for
not bringing in orders that were plac-
ed months ago. One firm has three
cars of salt ordered from Hutchinson.
Kan, but can get none of them de-
livered The sheep breeders, VINO
must have salt almost without regard
to cost, are the first to suffer. One
breeder has ordered a shipment by
express. There is quite a crop of corn
about Elida this fall, and Roswell
buyers have been going there to buy
the grain on the cob. The railroad is
having its share of trouble these days
in trying to move cattle east and
bring supplies and building materials
west. They allege that car and motive
power shortage is the trouble.

Western School Journal (TopekaD
The makers of school libraries
should not forget that many children
read and understand books far in
advance of their years. 1t is possible
to overload the school library with
colorless, insfpid reading which is
much more likely to weaken than to
strengthen the intellect. In the selec-
ton of books 1t should be presumed
that In nearly every school there are
some boys and girls who have strong,
active brains and who will appreciate
and enjoy reading which shortsighted
parents and teachers think belongs
exclusively to adults. There may be,
and there often is, an adult brain in
a young body. For instance, when DIR.
Arnold, of Rugby, in the PROFESSIONAL
chair at Oxford quoted from "Dr.
Priestley's Lectures on History it
was from his recollection of what he
had read in the book when he was
but eight years of age, and he had
read Gibbon and Milford twice over
before he had left school. There are
probably not many Arnolds in any
school, but we suspect there are ev-
erywhere boys and girls who regard
with contempt the insubstantia1 intel
Iectual diet often placed before them
in the school library. The books should
be for the strong as well as the weak,
and should attract all degrees of men
tai capacity.

FoRERoDINGs OF DISASTER
FOR THE-PLuNDERRUND


Albuquerque Journal Special.
Santa Fe, n. NJ, Nov 15.-Dark
tforebodings of trouble are prevalent
| in certain circles in this city and
elsewhere as the result of the an
noulcement that the United States
grand jury will reconvene here in two
weeks. The announcement has not
caused exactly a fiutter of eager an
ticipation among the members of the
Plunderbuad. The statesmen compos-
ing this classic organization, it is
said, have reason to believe that the
Representatives of the government are
on the trail of the "men higher up
who furnished the sinews of war ena-
bling Ricardo Alarid and Gregorio
Griego to offer $50 apiece for the
votes of grand jurors. 1t is patent to
any one that some person or persons
must have been considerably interest
ed in the proceedings of the grand
jury, and perhaps anxious to avoid
Indictment, to induce Alarid and Grie-
go to thus approach grand jurors
with $50 apiece. 1t is considered pos
sible that the gentlemen who furnish
ed the coin might have been more
circumspect had they not overlooked
the presence in Santa Fe of trusted
agents of Uncle Sam.
Current rumor has it that the drag
net when it rises next time will con-
tain a different catch from the small
fry brought up last trip. There has
been a notable decrease in the COM
me1ts on sophomore lawyers and
amateur detectives since Alarid and
Griego were sentenced for contempt
of court.
1t appears that it was rather a pain

ally found himself behind the bars.

More than two years ago Alarfd shot

newspaper comment the case might
have been forgotten. He was tried at
the last term of tle district court
here and no one in the county was
more surprised than Alarid heimself
when the jury returned a verdict OF
guilty. Alarid was confident that the
jury would not agree, and even made
public statements to that effect. After
his conviction ne asserted with equal
confidence that he would not go TO
the penitentiary, believing his attor-
neys would keep him out

ties rose in sympathy.
Good Impression in France.
Paris, Nov. 1S.-Prices on the
Bourse were firm. The announcement
of steps to be taken by the United
States treasury to relieve the final-
cial strain in America, made a good
impression here. The fact that the
Bank of England did not raise the
discount rate today also helped the
improvement.
