OCEAN NAIL ROBBERY.

New York.-Bankers here who have
been expecting valuable consignments of
securities from Switzerland are much per
turbed at their nonarrival, and the belief
is gaining ground that another ocean
mail robbery has been committed.
Townsend, Scott q Co., were informed
three weeks ago that the Swiss bankers
who are their regular correspondents,
had forwarded to them package con-
tanning $4,000 of Virginia Railroad
Company securities and $4,000 of Balti-
more Brick Company stock, but up to
date this consignment has not arrived
and great uneasiness is felt.
The bankers do not know how these Sc
curities were sent, or on which steamer
they were shipped and the refuse to dis
clos the nam of tn sender, but they
have taken every possible action in tho
case. Cables were sent to Switzerland,
and the Swiss bankers not only emphati
cally repeated the statement that the
package had been dispatched but also
forwarded complete list of the missing
securities.
Just where or how the robbery was
committed can not now be aseertained.
and the postal authorities are unable to
throw any light on the matter.

TO AVERT STRIKE.

Chairman Martin A. Knapp, of the
interstate commerce commission, and
Charles P. Neall, commissioner of labor
will go to Chicago where they will hold
conference with the representatives 1t
the conductors and trainmen and off
cials of western roads entering Chicago
in regard to the dispute over the ques
ton of wages which threatens to result
in a disastrous strike unless satisfac
tory adjustment is effected. Chairman
Knapp said tonight that the visit OF
himself and Mr.. Neall will be simply
in the direction of mediation and con
cilliation.
The request Of their effort as media.
tors and concilliators came from the
railroads. cit therefore becomes oui
duty under the law" said Mr.. Knapp
81 to put ourselves in communication
with the parties and endeavor to bring
about settlement. If we fail in The
effort, then it is our duty to endeavol
to induce the parties to enter into ar
bitration.

TWENTY SIX KILLED.

Cotton, Gala disastrous wreck on
the Southern Pacific railroad occurred
one and one-half miles east of this town
when west-bound train No. 9, from New
Orleans for San Francisco, ran into aI
open switch going at the rate of forty
miles an hour and ten of the fourteen
coaches were derailed.
Twenty-six people are known to have
been killed and the list will total much
higher. The injured number about 100
many of whom will die.
The wrecked coaches were hurled in
every direction. Four of them were
smashed into splinters. Most of the
dead were Italians from New York and
New Orleans. They occupied the smoker
and day coaches.
The dead were terribly mangled
Eighteen were taken to Cotton and eight
additional bodies could be seen under
meath one of the overturned and de-
molished cars. This car could not be
raised until a derrick was brought from
Los Angeles, sixty miles away.

stated, were offered a general increase

$15.OOO.OOo MORE.

Treasurer Secretary Cortelyou, in con-
tinuation of the Government s extreme
steps to help stock market conditions.
announced that additional customs re-
ceipts to the sum of $15,000,000 would
be deposited in New York banks, and
that he will anticipate interest payments
en- 2 per cent and 4 per cent bonds of
the loan of 1907.
The interest payments will place near
ly $2,000,000 Immediately into circula-
ton.
These announcements were made early
in the day, at the session of the Stock
Exchange, thing never done under Sec
retary Shaw No other Secretary of the
Treasury has announced such step I'M
til the close of the market in the late
afternoon, on the ground that to do SO
earlier would place the Government in
the position of directly affecting quota
tions in stock market operations.
When questioned as to whether he
would continue to make customs deposits
from day to day, Mr.. Cortelyou said
he was not prepared to announce the
definite policy in that regard, but said
he expected to act literally in making
deposits of customs receipts.
Secretary Cortelyou IS action with rel
erence to the deposits of customs re
ceipts and the anticipation of April In
terest will result in Immediately reliev,
ing the money market to the extent OF
about SIG, 100000.
On the $l5,OOO,OOO, which the sec-
retary deposited in New York banks,
Government, State municipal, approved
railroad, Hawaiian, Philippine and Por.
to Rican bonds are accepted as security.
About $4,000 will be paid at once
in interest on April l, on registered and
coupon bonds.

Cold Lunches.

The mainstay of all cold lunches
must always be sandwiches, and for
the making of these the combinations
are practically limitless. The bread
should always be one day old, at least,
and sliced very thin and evenly. The
butter must be of the best quality,
soft enough to spread with out crum-
bling the loaf, and the slice should be
spread before it is cut from the loaf.
The five cent bakers loaf should make
eight sandwiches. For lunches, the
sandwich should be made the size of
the slice, but one made by cutting the
loaf diagonally in halves is inviting.
Both white and brown breads are suit
able for use.

Eat Plenty of Almonds.

According to a celebrated health ex-
pert, blanched almonds give the high
er nerve OF brain and muscle food, and
whoever wishes to keep her brain pow
er up would do well to include them
in her daily bill of fare. Juicy fruits
give the same in less proportion and
are eaten by all those whose living de-
pends on their clear headedness. Ap-
pies supply the brain with rest. Prunes
afford proof against nervousness, but
are not muscle feeding. They should
be avoided by those who suffer from
the liver. But it has been proved that
fruits do not have the same effect up
on everybody. Some people have new
er been able to eat apples without suf-
ferlng the agonies of Indigestion; to
others strawberries are like poison

same warning was on every ticket
booth, and every person who bought
a ticket must have seen it.
A man carrying child and followed
by a woman came down the aisle The
man handed to the ticket-taker two
whole and one half-price tickets. He
was stopped and told to put down the
child. --
''How old is she?"
'Six last month";" he said.
"She amt but SIX" confirmed the
woman.
The child. gazing eagereyed into the
tent, had not heard them.
''How old are you, little grip asked
the man at the door.
mine years yesterday" she smiled
back, frankly.
Her father almost pulled her arm
loose, starting her away, but he paid
the extra quarter.
At the same door, few moments
later, a woman came forward, pushing
before her with her knees an odd-look-
ing child in plaid skirt that almost
touched the ground. The mother Of
fered a half-price ticket for the child.

taken it, but the director, who sat by,

Thereupon the knee-high infant rose
to her full height, which was that of
a girl of twelve. Her mother paid the
extra quarter, but her face told Of
her confusion.
