Bank President Arrested.

Durango.-Charles e. Mcconnell.
president of the Smelter City State
bank, which closed its doors Il week
ago last Monday, was arrested late
Wednesday afternoon on a warrant
sworn out by Harry Jackson, charging
him with receiving deposits when he
knew the bank to be insolvent.
Mr.. Mcconnell gives out the state
ment that he has mining interests .an6
property which he will turn in soon,
SO that he can liquidate the debts of
the bank.
1t is said that the books which Re
ceiver Rowe Pingree has been going

for the last nine years.

Christmas on the Fleet.

Port of Spain, Trinidad.-The re.
gatta was the big event of the day on
Christmas. 1t was participated in by
crews from many of the ships and a
number of exciting finishes kept the
men and officers keyed up to a high
pitch of enthusiasm.
A large number of officers spent the
day ashore sightseeing and snap
shooting the interesting scenes of trop,
ical life to be found here. Great
squads of of liberty men landed from
the fleet this afternoon and it was esti-
mated that at one time there were be,
tween 5000 and 1000 American blue.
jackets on shore. The behavior of
the sailors has been excellent and they
seem to be thoroughly enjoying their
stay here.

Christmas Pardon.

Canon City.-Christmas was a gala
day for the GAL coDvicts in the state
penitentiary, and nothing was left un-
done by the warden to make them en-
joy the occasion as much as possible
for men deprived of their liberty.
Warden Cleghorn announced that
The Christmas pardon of Governor
Buchtel was granted to Jacob Zip
perian, which evoked tears from the
other Convicts, particularly from those
who knew of the benefciary's unhappy
plight. Zipperian was No. 6417 on the
prison rolls, and for the last ten weeks
has been in the penitentiary hospital
with typhoid fever but is now slowly
recovering. Zipperian was serving a
sentence of seven to eight years for
murder and was re ceived here from
La Plata county September 20, 1905.
Zipperian was first sentenced to life
imprisonment and was in the peniten-
tiary for a year or more under that
decree, when the Supreme Court
granted him a new trial on a writ of
error. He was convicted a second
time and given an indeterminate SEN
tence of seven to eight years. He is
about twentysiX years old. He shot
a man in a quarrel over a division
fence. Judge Russell of the La Plata
District Court, who presided at his
trial, and ten of the twelve jurymen
who convicted him signed the petition
to the board of pardons for his release.
The petition was also signed by eighty
citizens of Sea Plata county and by
John A. Holmberg, former state treas
urer. Frank Kratzer of Denver was
especially active in his behalf.

A Washington man, who spent last

The announcement of the death al

mind and lack of worry have on the sys-
tenn" said a physician yesterday.
If this woman had been under the
ordinary conditions of her life her nerves
would have suffered certain amount af
strain, and this would have had an i'll
effect on her bodily health.
When medical men prescribe for q
patient on the point of a nervous break
down we insist on three things-a good
nights rest, sufficiency of plain, nour-
ishing food, and regular hours for eat
ing, exercising and sleeping. The in
mates of our infirmaries and unions have
all of these benefits, and as the major
ity are more comfortable bodily than
they have ever been before worry to them
is unknown. So it is hardly surprising
that these people frequently live to very
great ages. London Mail.

know quite what is happening they are
overpowered and terrorized into giving

and these men represent themselves to
be river hawkers of provisions. fruit,
vegetables, etc. They include Hindus
and Nohalnmedans, and are, like the
Bunphurs, inclined to violence when re-
Sisted.
The Bunphurs are recognized as be-
ing the most dangerous of these river
pirates. They have a completely and
efficiently organized intelligence branch,
an elaborate system for dsposing of
stolen property, and when pressed do
not hesitate at actually taking life. De-
lection IS an extremely difficult mat

Is received that they are ON the move
they have actually swooped down on
their prey and retired with their spoils
into some lonely creek or backwater
in the river, or, as they have been
known to do in some cases, abandoned
their boat and taken to cover on shore.

Why Sloan's Liniment and Vet-
Urinary Remedies Are the Best


Urinary Remedies Are the Best
to Use.
Let me tell you why Sloan's Lini-
ment and Veterinary Remedies are the
safest and most practical on the mar
ket to-day. In the first place, DR.. Earl
S. Sloan is the son of veterinary sur
geon, and from his earliest infancy he
was associated with horses.
He bought and sold horses while yet
very young. He practiced as a veteri-
nary for twenty years, and has battled
successfully with every disease to
which that animal is subject.
All his remedies are the result of ex-
periments made to save life or relieve
suffering while he was practicing his
profession.

S. Sloan, els Albany street, Boston,
Mass, viii receive "Sloan's Treatise on
the Horse" free. This book tells how
to treat horses. cattle, hogs. and poul-
try.

Another Kind of RAYS.

NJ. Blondlot, a French scientist, has
discovered a new set of radiations
emitted by a Roentgen tube, differing
from the X-rays in that they can be con-
centrated by means of quartz lens, and
can also be reflected.
The X-rays undergo neither reflection
nor refraction. The new rays pass
through aluminium, paper and wood, be-
ing rectilinearly polarized on their ennis
sion. They are susceptible of both ro-
tary and elliptical polarization; but they
produce neither fourescence nor photo
era nhic action.
