Hold up a Cashier.

Goldfeld, Nev.-Herbert E. Riggs.
bookkeeper and cashier for E. H. New
land, broker. was found unconscious
on the floor of the office. The door
of the safe was open and cash amount
ing to 1900 had been taken. Two big
Jumps on Riggs forehead showed that
he had been struck with some blunt
instrument.
Riggs says he was working over his
books when a stranger appeared at the
cashiers window and asked for money.
There was a stack Of gold on the desk
in front of the bookeeper at the time.
Riggs says he knew nothing more I'M
til he recovered consciousness. When
he was found by Harry Greve. a
nephew of Newland, heavy hammer
was picked up from the floor near
where he lay. 1t is thought that the
robber used the hammer on his victim.

1t is strange that not one person in
a thousand knows now to help a man
on with his coat or a lady with her
Jacket. They all make the mistake of
holding the garment too high. espe-
cially the last sleeve. They lift It
SO that man nearly dislocates his
arm reaching for it. The more fu-

for it the higher they hold 1t. until
the wretched victim would have to get

The proper way? Why. hold the
coat SO that the armholes are as low

KIondIke Fever Breaks Out.

Washington.-The gold fever of
the Klondike has broken out anew at
Sitka, Alaska, according to Brigadier
General George F. Elliott. command
ant Of the United States marine corps.
who has Just returned from = trip of
inspection in the Northwest
General Elliott states that rich
vein of quartz has recently been un-
covered on an island forty-five miles
from Sitka. which yields a heavy per-
centage of leaf gold, and active prepa-
rations are being made for, its develop
ment. AS a result of this discovery
the forty-five marines whom General
Elliott had intended to order to some
other point will remain to preserve or
der in what is rapidly becoming one Of
the boom" towns OF Alaska.
The story of the discovery as told to
General Elliott is that two Indians.
while fishing. noticed particles Of gold.
They told the news to a Presbyterian
clergyman at Sitka. A company opened
the vein of quartz and succeeded in
mining and transporting to Sitka in
canoes ninety tons of ore. This one
shipment yielded, after payment of
freight, more than $4,000. The
knowledge of the find at the island
soon became known in Sitka, and the
island now is practically all staked out
by goldseekers.

TESTS FOR FLOUR
THE MOST IMPORTANT OF Gull.
NARY PROPERTIES.
Best 10 Always the Cheapest in This
a. in Most Other ThinQs-Whoie
Wheat Bread 10 Pal
Atahie.

There is too ready an inclination,
when anything goes wrong with the
bread, to blame the bread maker,
when in the majority Of cases the
fault may be traced to the -four. AS
in many other things. the best -four
is the cheapest, for the better the
quality the greater the amount OF nu-
triment obtained. Wheat contains
all the life-sustaining properties of
meat, except 1t is somewhat deficient
In fat, but this is remedied by the
use of butter, which adds also to
its palatable and digestible qualities.
A good -four has rich. creamy yell
lowish tinge, is soft to the touch, yet
when pressed firmly in the hand, and
the hand then opsned, the flour will
fall apart and not pack easily. When
rubbed between the fingers 1t is, rath-
er graduated. Good flour will take
up a considerable amount OF moist
ure. The very white fiours. or those
of BLUSH white tinge are poor, and
will not make good bread.
A strong and nutritious flour is one
that contains more gluten than starch.
This sort will absorb more liquid and
make more bread to given quantity,
and is for this reason better for the
purpose of bread making than flour
in which the gluten and starch are
more evenly proportioned.
In the entire wheat -four the enti.e
kernel is used in the milling. as the
name implies. have heard it said
that in the making of white -four some
of the most nutritious elements are
discarded. This discarded portion is
used to feed live stock. and 1t is I'M
doubtedly fact that they cannot live
on the white flour. while they subsist
perfectly well on the discarded" part.
The whole wheat bread is light and
faky. when properly made. and is of
a rather grayish tinge.
In family where tastes and phys
zeal conditions differ. 1t is advisable
to provide both kinds of bread. the
white and entire wheat. AS rule
those who eat plenty of meat prefer
the white bread, while the person
with a preference for the vegetable
diet will choose the entire wheat
bread. Children are usually fond of
the entire wheat bread. and choose it
with that instinct which the child
seems to possess about what is good
for him. The child's liking for sugar
is an instance of this quality. for doc
tors say that children need more
sugar than adults.-Susan Crawford,
in Los Angeles Herald.

White River Junction, VIA fearful
head-on collision between the south
bound Qubec express and a north
bound freight train on the Concord d.
vision OF the Boston & Maine railroad,
occurred four miles north of Canaan
station early Sunday morning, Septem-
Der 18th, due to mistake in train dis
patchers' orders, and from a demOl-
ished passenger coach there were
taken out twenty-five dead and dying,
and twenty-seven other passengers.
most of them seriously wounded. Near
ly all those who were in the death car
were returning from fair at Sher-
brooke. Quebec, sixty miles north. The
conductor of the freight train was
given to understand that he had plenty
of time to reach siding by the night
operator at Canaan station, receiving,
according to the superintendent Of the
division, a copy of a telegraph order
from the train dispatcher at Concord,
which confused the train numbers 30
and thirty-four. The wreck occurred
just after the express had rounded into
a straight stretch OF track, but owing
to the early morning mist, neither en-
gineer saw the others headlight until
It was too late.
Operator Makes Mistake.
The south-bound train was made up
at Sherbrooke, where 1t picked up two
sleepers from Quebec and two more on
the way down. 1t consisted of the
baggage coach. passenger coach and
smoking car in that order, with the
sleepers in the rear. The train left
White River Junction at $3.50. forty
minutes late. and was followed twenty
minutes later by the Montreal express
over the Central Vermont railroad.
The Quebec train Is known as No. 80
and the Montreal train as No. 80.
In the meantime. north-bound train,
known as No. 267, had arrived at Ca
naan. eighteen miles down the road,
at 4:10 a. m, on time. According to
the division superintendent, w. R. Ray,
]. r. Crowley. the night train dis
patcher at Concord, sent a dispatch to
John Greedy, the night operator at Ca
naan, that No. 81 was one hour and
ten minutes late. The order which
Conductor Lawrence of the freight
train showed after the accident dis
tinctly states that No. 30, instead of
No. "a. was an hour and ten minutes
late. Conductor Lawrence, believing
that he had sufficient time in the hour
and ten minutes to reach the sidetrack
at West Canaan. four miles beyond, be-
fore No. 30 reached 1t. ordered his train
ahead. The superintendent declared
that the accident was due to the mis-
