Painful Joke.

J. F. Slattery was handling a giant
firecracker yesterday afternoon In
Emerson's saloon in Lane City when
it exploded and badly injured his
hand. The top of the thumb was
blown off. The injured man lighted
the firecracker and pretended to
place it under a BARRIERS chair in
which man named Johnson was
seated while being Sshaved. The
cracker exploded sooner than he an
ticipated and the joke turned out
rather disastrously for Slattery. Dr.
Brock attended the unfortunate man.

PILOT BUMPS PRESIDENT.
Shows Roosevelt just How Shallow
Mississippi Is.

Washington, Oct. s. - President
Roosevelt has now personal experience
regarding the shallowness Of the Mist
sissippi river, according to repor-
which has reached Washington. The
pilot who guided the executives craft
knows every sandbar in the big stream
and it is said that he took precautions
on the trip down to Memphis to bump
a goodly portion Of them just to show
they were there. The presidents safe
ty was not endangered, it is explained,
because the good steamer Mississippi is
of the fiat bottom variety common on
the river and could not be tured over
by little gentle rocking. The presi-
dent, when he landed at Memphis, it is
stated, was familiar with the location
of large number Of the Instructions
to navigation between that place and
Keokuk, Iowa. His experience is de-
clared to have increased his interest in
the needs Of navigation and that, of
course, was the object sought in giving
him few harmless bumps by pilot
who could do the job without getting
stuck fast.

GOVERNORS NARROW ESCAPE,
Internal Machine Sent CoIorado's s
Executive by Mail

Denver, Colo, Oct. s.-Governo,
Henry A. Buchtel, David H. Moffatt
president of the First National bank OF
Denver, and Charles B. Kountz, presi.
dent of the Colorado National bank, re-
ceived through the mail today internal
machines containing sufficient dyna-
mite to have caused great destruction
of lives and property had they been ex-
ploded.
Fortunately, warning had been given
to the recipients of the machines by
the chief of police, Michael Delaney,
who had obtained a confession from
Kemp V. Bigelow, by whom they were
mailed. Bigelow confessed also that he
had sent internal machines to Lawrence
G. Phipps and Edward Chase.
Tonight in the presence of Chief of
police Delaney, Police Commissioner
Hewitt, representatives of newspapers
and Fred Moffatt, nephew of David
H. Moffatt, Bigelow made confession
in which he admitted sending the in
fernal machines, and explained his mo-
tive. He said that he was unable to
earn enough at his regular employment
to keep him properly and conceived the
idea of making a hero of himself, with
probable financial reward as a result.

CAR SHORTAGE ON.
Eastern Railroads Cannot Handle I'm.
mense Grain Traffic.

Chicago, Oct. 9.-The threatened car
shortage, against which the railroads
have been fighting for months, has ar.
rived and business in all Eastern traffic
centers is more or less affected. 1t is
said that the New York Central lines
west of Buffalo are short more than T.
900 cars. What the shortage is on the
system east OF Buffalo is not known,
but it is no exaggeration to say that, il
the New York Central lines had 10000
cars more than are at this time availa-
BILE, they would use them to advantage.
The Lake Shore alone was unable today
to provide within 1900 of the number
of cars demanded by it's patrons.
In view of the present demand for
cars in many lines of business, the pes
simistic statements of some of the rail-
way managements are discounted by
others, who take more hopeful view
of the future.
One reason for the shortage is the
great grain movement, which is taxing
the capacity of the railroads to the linn
it. Last week there were 100000 more
bushels of grain shipped east from Chi
cago than during the year previous.
The -four shipments east increased more
than $500 barrels over the previous
week and were more than 17,500 bar
rels in excess of the corresponding week
Of the previous year. The receipts of
grain last week were more than $780,
900 bushels. This is the largest grain
receipt here since October, 1898.

TESTS BY GOVERNMENT.
Forest Service Believes Western Hem.
lock Is Done Injustice.

Washington, Oct. 9.-The forest ser
vice is experimenting with hemlock cut
from the western slopes of the Oregon
Cascades, and will endeavor to estab.
lish that timber as valuable for struc.
tural uses. Heretofore eastern lumber
buyers have been prejudiced against
western hemlock because they confused
it with the eastern variety, which is
not of the high quality of the western
kind. Buyers here have refused to &C.
cept hemlock, and the forest service
hopes to prove the strength Of the tim.
Der by G series of tests which will show
that it may be well utilized for struc-
tural and finishing work.
So far as the tests have been conduct
ed the results are satisfactory, and the
service men believe they will add to
the assets of the North Pacific coast
states by increasing ths market value of
their hemlock,

BumbIe Bees for PhiIipninas,

Washington, Oct. 11.-In resposne
to rush order cabled from the Philip
pines, two cigar boxes of humble bees
are today hurrying across the country
bound for the islands. The Philippine
specialists of the agricultural depart
ment have been making exhaustive ex-
periments in Luzon, in the cross fertil-
ization of certain plants. Repeated
tests with the common or busy bee
showed it to be unequal to the task,
but complete success crowned the ef-
forts of the scientists when they tried
the humble bees. AS the season in
which the humble bee can make him
self useful in the fertilization is rapidly
nearing an end in the Philippines, the
experts yesterday cabled the depart
ment to rush the shipment.

FORD JURORS
UNDER SUSPICION
Special Grand jury Will Seek Proof
Ct Bribe.Giying.
Heney Is Said to Have Known Jury
Was Tempered With and Reserved
Ruef Testimony-Burns Says Hon.
est Jury Will Convict Ford-De-
Tense Is Anxious.

San Francisco, Oct. 8.-The grand
jury will meet today to investigate the
charges that have been freely made that
improper influences were used upon
certain members of the jury that tried
Tirey L. Ford. 1t is limited that SEN
sation will be sprung before the matter
is dropped. Special Agent Burns re-
fused to make any specific charges to-
day, but said:
"Ford will be found guilty by an
honest jury
Earl Rogers, chief of counsel defend
ing Ford, came back with a charge that
the prosecution had made efforts to get
friends on the jury. Mr.. Rogers comes
from the southern part of the state,
where he is known as "the fighting at
torney of Los Angeles" Mr.. Burns
says he will call the bluff and will give
Mr.. Rogers a chance to 60 before the
grand jury
Francis J. Heney is out OF the city,
on an automobile trip. He will return
in time to conduct the investigation be-
fore the grand jury. He is absolutely
unmoved by the failure of the Ford jury
to agree and will place Ford on trial
again next Monday. After the trial of
Ford the prosecution will turn.its atten-
tion to Patrick Calhoun.
The jurors in the Ford case who stood
for acquittal have stated in interviews
that the failure of the prosecution to
call Abe Ruef to the stand influenced
them more than anything else in their
decision. The failure of the prosecu-
ton to call Ruef to the stand has COM
pletely mystified the defense. Ford's
attorneys will therefore be as much in
the dark as to the plans Of the prosecu-
tion in the next trial as they were in
the last.
The explanation given the widest Gre
dence for the failure of Mr.. Heney to
call Ruef to the stand is that the pros
ecutors had a "tip" that the jury had
been tampered with, and did not desire
TO reveal any more evidence at this
rial than was necessary to prevent an
lcuuittal.
