FATE OF PACIFIC MAIL
LINE STEAMER UNKNOWN

San Francisco, Cal, Jan. 5.-No fur
ther news has yet been received here
bearing on the fate of the Pacific
sailed from here Monday last for
southern ports. According to a tele-
phone message received from Pesca-
dero last night two life RATS came
ashore at Wardell beach, sixteen
miles south of Pescadero yesterday
morning. On them were boat-hooks,
barrel of water and box of crack
ers. Later in the day two more life
rafts came ashore similarly equip
ped, while off shore a large quanti-
ty of wreckage was seen floating.
The life rafts were marked City of
Panama. The City of Panama carried,
besides officers and ffty-six members
of the crew, sixty passengers.
Officials of the Merchants Ex-
change here do not believe that the
steamer City of Panama has been
wrecked. The vessel which left port
about 2 p. m. last Monday, was sight
ed at p. m. the same date off Point
Lobes. A strong northwest gale was
blowing and she was headed north
at the time. 1t was surmised that she
had shipped several heavy seas and
had temporarily changed her course
to straignten out things. Her life
RATS, which were kept partially pro
visioned, may nave been swept away
during the gale and would have had
just about time to drift to Wardell
| Beach, where the finding of three
RATS marked City of Panama gave
rise to the reported loss of the YES
sci. the City of Panama is due to
arrive at MaZatlaa tomorrow.

New York, Jan. Sc. T. Jeffrey,
railroad and affiliated lines, includ-
ing the proposed Western Pacific,
was the first witness today before
the session of the Interstate Com
merce Commission which is inquir-
ing into the merger of the so-called
Hartman lines.
Jeffrey described the Rio Gra1de
system. He said it exchanged busi-
ness with the Oregon Short Line
and the Oregon Railway and Naviga-
tion Co. When the Union Pacific took
control of the Southern Pacific there
was a shrinkage in this business,
due no doubt" said Jeffrey, Ito the
control the q. P. had On the S. p"
Jeffrey next described the Western
Pacific, which has a line under con-
struction from San Francisco to Salt
Lake. The witness read from the re
cent annual report ne had submitted
to the Rio Gra1de stockholders, in
which he stated that the U. P. con
troll of the S. P. lines had resulted
in unexpected difficulties and ''un-
| looked for impediments" in getting
through business to the coast, and
therefore the building of a competi-
tive line from Salt Lake to San
Francisco had been undertaken to
protect the Rio Grande interests.
Prior to the consolidation, were
the U. P. and S. P. competing lines?'
asked Severance.
within certain territory, yes" re
piled the witness.
"Within what territory?"
"At Chicago, for instance, the U.
P. would compete for business to the
coast against the Illinois Central,
which sought business to be handled
for the west by way of New Or
leans and the Southern Pacific Not
all business was competitive, but
there was competition at a number
of points,

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 5.-Demand-
and falling to get it, man not yet
identified dropped a bomb III the
Fourth Street National Bank today,
blowing himself to pieces, instantly
killing Cashier w. Z. McLear and in
juring six others, two of whom may
die. The only clue to the identity of
the bomb tnrOWer was bunch of
keys found in a portion of his CLOTH
ing to which was attached a plate
Inscribed "R. Steele, Garner Iowa"
The Fourth Street National Bank is
the largest financial institution in
the city and occupied the greater part
of the first floor of the Bullitt build
ing on Fourth street between Chest
nut and Walnut streets in the heart
of the financial district.
The explosion was terrific and
caused tremendous excitement in the
crowded building and street. 1t oc-
CURED few minutes before twelve
O'Clock. The man was poorly dressed
and looked like a Russian. He asked
to be directed to the office of Presi-
dent Richard Rushton. He told the
bank president that his name was
G. E. Williams, and said he wanted
five thousand dollars. President Rush
ton asked what collateral ne mad and
the man said something about an
insurance policy. Believing the man
a harmless crank, the president direc-
ted him to the cashier, and at the
same time called his colored messen-
ger and told him to take the man
from the building. A moment later
the explosion occurred.
The details of just what happened
after the man left the presidents of
fee differ, and no one can be found
who saw the man drop the bomb.
Not only was the entire interior of
the bank wrecked, but the large win
dows looking out On a small side
street were blown out. 1t probably
will be days before the bank officials
are able to tell how many valuable
papers in the banks custody were
destroyed, as the whole place was
strewn with torn bits of paper.
Garner, Ia, Jan. 5.-Robert Steel,
formerly a resident of Garner, left
here six years ago for the east and
is supposed to nave been living in
Philadelphia or Boston. While here
he peddled medicines. He was about
SO years old.

What's the Use?

0Will n. Maupin in COmmonerD
o, pshaw! How easy it is to moral
ize about this time of year. Just be-
cause the old years accounts are be-
ing closed and a new years accounts
are being opened, you naturally drift
into the moralizing habit. And you
can mealder along to an intermina-
BILE length But what's the use?
Let's quit moralizing and theoriz-
ing and get down to something prac-
tical.
What's the use of wearing face
long enough to eat oats out of
churn?
What's the use moaning over the
worlds wickedness when there's SO
much that is hopeful and cheering
all about us?
The world growing worse? Non
sense.
Today is better than yesterday and
tomorrow will be better still.
The light is being thrown into the
dark places, and that's the reason you
see more of the worlds wickedness.
And every time the light strikes one
of the dark places things are imme-
diately made better and purer
Let's do a little light-shedding dur
ing the coming year. Let's carry
hope and cheer into the places that
know them not Let's begin right at
home, too Don't waste too much
time making good resolutions-just
begin doing.
What a grand year 1907 will be if
every man tries to do his duty to
himself, to his family, to his country
and to his God.

San Francisco, Cal, Jan. 5.-The
Examiner today says the L. NJ. Sulli-

financially embarrassed, and that
drafts on the company by San Fran
cisco brokers have been protested.
Peter Grant, treasurer of the compa-

barras is only temporary. The
Sullivan Trust Company did a big
business in Southern Nevada mining
stocks Through extensive advertis

mining enterprises were promoted
and stock sold. 1t is stated that in
order to stimulate the market the
company bought and sold its own Sc
curities, and it failed to honor a
draft made by a San Francisco brok
er who purchased stock for the com
pany.

the United States by systems of scie1.
tifc farming is hereby called to meet
in the City of Denver, Colorado, on
January oath and 25th, 1907.
Objects.
The rapid development of practical
farming and profitable crop produc
ton under improved agricultural me-
thods, and the unmistakable proof
of the possibility of reclaiming a
great portion of the semi-arid acreage
in western states, have led to in
creased activity in both official and
private experimental work l believe
that the time for united action and
official encouragement has been
reached, and that there should be in
augurated a practical and active gen
eral movement, under proper organi
