port represented the Springfield
Lamar Telephone company at the
telephone meeting at Corrizo last
Saturday. 1t was a large, en-
thusiastic gathering and the sub
scription list was brought up to
$1810.00. The meeting named
j. A. Stinson, VIM. Spurgeon and
E. G. Condit to collect the sub
scriptions and build the line (from
the Stinson home ranch via the
Corrizo country to Kenton, Ok

The boat be- gan to fill, and the crowded passengers became confused, causing the vessel to capslze. A fishing boat rescued forty persons. Fearing the vessel would be capsized by many swimmers who cltlng to her. the fishing crew fought them ofi and put away. More than seventy were drowned. Fifty-cight bodies were re- covered by night.

Spices and Indigestion.

Although the use of spices for the purpose of heightening the flavor of food Is almost universal It Is gener. ally recognized that their influence on digestion is detrimental. Some ex- periments recently carried out tend to prove that while spices stimulate the motor functions of the stomach, they progressively impair the secretory functions, and In the long run inhibit the production of hydrochloric acid
 On the whole, therefore, the ingestioh of spices flinders rather than acceler- ates digestion, though an exception may be made In respect of persons in whom slowness of digestion Is due to deficiency of muscular activity on the part of the stomach. and also pos sibly of the victims of hyperacidity.

Korean Soldiers Take Things Easy
 While on Duty.

"The Korean Tommy Atkins mounts guard curlcd up In basket filled with rags and cotton wool" says an ex. plorer of that queer country. Even at the royal palace one sees this curious sight. The Korean warrior is not giant; on the contrary, he is diminutive, only a little over hve feet in height. or even less, 50 that the round basket which contains him is made only about fout feet in diameter. and three and half feet deep.
 Tn the inner enclosure of the royal palace two soldiers are placed on guard at time. and the baskets are larger accordingly. The two warriors contained in them squat or curl up to- gether like two birds in a nest. Their guns are generally left standing some where close by: but when the position 10 be guarded is very responsible one. they are nursed in the basket with their owners"

NO ovERcoATs IN ALASKA.
Army Officer Says. It is Not Safe te
 Wear Them There.

"You do not find anyone wearing overcoats in Alaska, even in the win ter" said Maj. F. NJ. NJ. Beall, recent ly returned from that territory.
 "The principal thing to be careful about is keeping the head. hands and feet warm. In that part of Alaska where I have been the only land transportation is by dog sleds and to follow them one has to drop into a dog trot beside the sled.
 An ordinary suit is plenty thick enough to keep you warm and an overcoat is dangerous in that temper. ature. Trotting alongside a sled wear. ing an overcoat would make you per. spire and the bitter cold would freeze the precipitation.
 "The men there wear a fur cap that covers every part of the head and face except the eyes and there is only little peep-hole for them. Wool lined mitts are worn on the hands and moccasins with woolen stockings on the feet
 Maj. Beall has been three years in Alaska, commanding Fort Gibbon. the garrison consisting of two companies of the Third United States infantry. He Is now on leave of absence.
 Fort Gibbon is 300 miles up the Yukon river and 75 miles south of the arctic circle" he said. and the river is frozen up most of the year. In that time dog sleds are used, but when the river opens steamers come up fire quently. Sometimes the rough charsc- ters traveling around the country take possession of a river steamer and it's part of our work to restore order and recaptuge the steamer.
 The chief work of the soldiers al Fort Gibbon is to keep the telegraph lines going"

Big Sensation at Councilman
 Martins Trial.
FOOLED HIM WITH FAKE ENVELOPE
Bribe Money Amounting to s!o,o00 Aysteriously Disappeared by Detectives, Who Charge
 eIO,O0O Fee.

PITTSBURG, Jan. s. - Sensational testimony was given here in the ST0,- 600 graft scandal' in connection with the ordinance to give the Pittsburg and Tube City Railroad company all en- trance into Pittsburg when William A. Martin, member of the common coun- ell. was put on trial in criminal court charged with soliciting bribe for the passage of the ordinance.
 Among the witnesses were J. H. Mill holland, civil engineer for the rail- road compan-; C. B. Richardson, Il bro ker. and c. s. Cameron, president of the Pittsburg and Tube City Railroad company. who are also implicated in the graft scandal"
 Milholland testified that he had plac- ed a $00.O00 certified check in safe deposit box which was to have been given to Martin and was told by Presi. dent C. S. Cameron in Martins pres. ence that the alleged briee money was increased from s6o,Oo0 to s10,000 in or der to get sufficient votes to pass the Tube City ordinance over the mayors veto.
 Milholland also testified that sTo,00o in cash WAS subsequently, placed in safety deposit boxes at the Colonial Trust company and then st the Union Trust company for Martin. Mllholland held the key to one box, and the key to the later box was deposited in another safety deposit box at the Farmers De posit National bank.
 He also swore that Martin ordered him to deliver the Keys of safe de- posit box back 10 Cameron, remarking as he did so that "he had been trim med again. for the money was not there"
 C. R. Richardson. the broker. told of the mysterious disappeaTancc of inc Sin.0f0 which he had loaned President Cameron and of Councilman Martins refusal to be searched for tine money when it disappeared and which was subsequently found by local detective agency. which received s1G.OJg for Its recovery.
 According to Richardson. Sine scheme of fooling Martin was wor.ed in his very presence hy means of two snTei- cpe~. one containing the money and the other. hisnticaliy similar oH the outside. which dld not contain the money

Too Rspid Growth.

: The minister's six-yearold son Is ci . very critical, literal turn of mind. and his fathers sermons sometimes puzzle him sorely. He regards his fa. ther as the embodiment of truth and wisdom. but he has difficulty in har. monizing the domlnie's pulpit utter. ances with the world as it really Is. His parents encourage him to express his opinions. and clear up his doubts as much as possible. So one Sunday at dinner. after long period of thought. they were not surprised when he said gravely: Papa, you said one thing in your sermon today that I don't tkink is so at all.
 Well. what's that, my boy" asked the clergyman.
 Why. papa. you said the boy of today is the man of tomorrow That's too soon"
