of official business coupled with the
fact that Mrs. Longworth will be

but assures her that in order to do so
she must content herself to remain
in bed until that time.
A big Christmas tree entertain
ment will be held and Miss Ethel
will give a dinner party to few
young friends on Christmas eve. AS
customary with the Roosevelt chill

INVESTIGATION
FOR EAGLESTON
IDAHO'S SURVEYOR GENERAL
WILL BE MADE SUBJECT OF
ANOTHER INVESTIGATION
RESIGNATION HELD UP

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-After a
conference with Senator Hepburn,
Congressman French and State
Chairman Brady Friday, Secretary
Garfield announced that he would
order another investigation into the
conduct of Surveyor General Eagle
son, whose resignation was recently
called for.
Secretary Garfield was forced to
admit that the evidence now in
hand was not complete and the new
investigation will not only include
Eagleson conduct in his office, but
will cover the conduct of clerks and
inspectors, who are charged by Eag-
Lesson with conspiring against him.
The man to make the investigation
has not yet been chosen.
Senator Hepburn said today that
he believed a fair investigation
would eXonerate Eagleson and result
in the recall of the demand for his
resignation.

BRIDGE AT LAWYERS CAN
YoN, A BLOCK OF NATURAL
COPPER WAS FOUND

b. c. Ritter of Cottonwood was in
the city today and reports the And
ing of a 100-pound block Of native
copper, by workmen engaged In the
excavations for the railroad bridge
across Lawyers canyon.
Copper groupings have ben dis
covered in the Lawyers canyon dis
trict fpr the past several years and
a number of promising locations
have Been made, but little develop
ment work, performed. 1t is stated
that some of the properties located
on Cottonwood Butte have surface
indications equal to the best prop
critics in the copper district, and 1t
is believed development work will
uncover a rich deposit.
The finding of the native copper
in the quantity suggested by Mr.
Ritter is regarded by mining men as
conclusive of the existence Of ricf
copper deposit in that section.

RESCUE PARTY
But HALF WAY
"Your Needs Here"

JACOBS CREEK, Pa, Dec. %
Only thirty-three of the two hun
bred or more miners caught by the
explosion in the Darr mine of the
Pittsburg Coal company last Thurs
day have been found by the rescu-

ers have been able to prosecute their
search.
Twenty of these bodies were found
today, but none of them have been
identified. All bodies found today
were placed in sacks in the mine and
transferred to the morgue, where
they are being prepared for burial
and placed in caskets. These cask-
cts in the morning will be removed
to a big tent to be viewed and iden'
titled by friends. The rescuers are
now at the Swamp heading" about

BOOK TRUST CUTS
JUICY MELON
STOCKHOLDERS WILL REALIZE
40 PER CENT DIVIDEND FOR
YEAR-C0MPANY WILL BE
REORGANIZED

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.--Stock-
holders of the American Book COM
pany, sometimes called the school
book trust hold a special meeting
today to take steps looking to a re-
organization of the company. The
company was incorporated in 1890
under the laws of New Jersey, ac-
quiring the property of the Van An
twerp, Bragg company of Cincin-
natl, Ivison, Blake & Co. of New
York and the school book business
of d. Appleton & Co, Harper Bros.
and A. s. Barnes & Co, of New
York
AS the headquarters of the COM
pany are in New York and the most
of the business is done here, it is
proposed to abandon the New Jersey
charter under which it was created
and incorporate under the laws of
New York. The capital stock will be
100000, the same as under the
Olu COHpdHy, anu III duulIlou 90
The surplus of the company last
year amounted to $2,700,000, so
that this is simply converted into a
bind, leaving the company the use
of the capital but also giving the
stockholders the immediate use of
the accrued profits of the company.
The bonds will bear per cent. OF
the issue of bonds. 100000 will be
retained in the treasury of the com
pany, but the rest will be distribu-
ted pro rata among the stockholders.
This, in effect, will amount to a div
idend Of 40 per cent on their hold
ings.

Smooth-T Tonqued Artist Hits Town.

The champion smooth-tongued artist struck Bessemer this morning and spent about half the day among quick found friends, and before night had gone where the woodbine twineth, leaving naught but a memory behind. He claimed his name was Ernest Gavel Weteon and to many told of his wandering through five con tinents in search of long lost sister.
 The wilds of Africa were as familiar apparently to him as Red mountain is to the Jefferson county negro, and when he commenced telling of his adventures in the land of Tibet his hearers almost cried. He claimed he was the son of distinguished journalist of years ago, and that a sister had run away from home with reputed rich man whom he had followed all over the world and was still hunting for. Italian, French and German seemed to be his long suit, together with an earnest appeal on the side for help to get to the next town where the long lost sister was supposed to be. Just how many he struck is hard to tell, but after a friendly visit to The Age-Herald bureau he went his way down to the railroad track to find, as he said, "an empty box car on southbound through freight.s
