PHoENIX. ARIZONA, DEC. 25, 1907.
A SLEEPLESS NIGHT.

The average of sleep among the youth of this broad land last night was far below the average. Perhaps not many of the little boys and girls stayed awake with the expectation of seeing Santa Claus and perhaps still fewsr would have had the hardihoOd to look upon his kindly face if they had had the chance, but they could not sleep for thinking of him-for wonderment and conjecture as to the extent Of his gen erOsity.
 IT nothing but Santa Claus ever keeps the boys and girls awake they will have fife time of happy nights and the fife time will be long But in later years there will come other causes Of wakefulness and then the wrinkles will begin to form and the hair will take on a beautiful but un- natural tinge. When Santa Claus passes out of the life of a child he takes with him in his sleigh behind the flying reindeer and the tinkling bells a load of pleasure and enjoy ment. as an offset for the toys and gifts Of earlier Christmases.
 But he may leave behind something of more and lasting value. the Christ mas spirit which will recur in the man or woman once a year. making a bet ter man and woman and making all better with whom they come in con- tact.
 The little boy who believes in Santa Claus and loves him not for his gifts but for his kindliness of heart, and who finally surrenders his belief in ex- change for some of that kindliness of heart is not likely to become a very bad man.
 This is the glorious planting time in the life of the child, when the seeds of unselfishness may be sown with the promise of a rich yield-of a peren- nial harvest
 The children who slept last night were in woful way A boy who could sleep then is either in danger of be- coming sluggard or else he lay in the numbing slumbcr of despair hopeless of receiving anything in the night which would pay him for staying awake; when it was better to sleep and forget for as iong as possible that he was not a favorite of Santa Claus.

The extent to which the blind can De educated under modern methods is aptly illustrated in the case of George Rex Clark. who has just been gradu- ated from the University of Chicago, standing next to the head of his class. He is only 23 years of age and passed through the prescribed course in the usual four years, receiving the degree of bachelor of arts. He has been blind from birth. During his college course he has found time to perfect himself in telegraphy and typewriting. He has made a speciality of Latin and Greek. and is said to be well fitted for teaching the ancient languages. All of his text books were printed in raised letters The example of young Clark should encourage the sightless who are striving to acquire an education regardless Of their serious handicap.

A GOOD RAILROAD YEAR.

Chicago. Dec 24-According to sta- tistics compiled by the Railway Age, railroad construction in the United States has been nearly as heavy in 1907 as in 1906, the heaviest year since 1888. The total number of miles of new track laid this year was 5,I3O- Canada built 629 miles and Mexico 349 miles. The greater part of the new track was laid before the financial stringency.
 Orders for freight and passenger cars and locomotives In 1907 was smaller than at any time during the last seven years. The year is notable for the increase in the number of block signals installed. the increase having been 3721 for the twelve months ending December 31.

MIR. sINCLAIR's NEW STORY.


 McClure's is printing extracts. com plete stories in themselves. of Upton Sinclair's new novel The Metropolis" :" in which the author seeks to disclose the manners and customs of the ex- tremely rich. The current number of the magazine contains the first in- stallment Of the story which will prob ably be read with as great interest," by the ignorant--as Mir. Sinclairs "The Jungle" was. It will probably be as true to life also as The Jungle" has been found to have been. a monstrous eXaggeration whose greatest accom- plishment was the turning of the stomachs of the American people
 IL is true that the official report of commission appointed in the interest of the pure food bill does not tend 10 settle the American stomach. On the contrary il was an exaggcration of the conditions as described by The Jun sic" though it contributed to the pass ing of the bill.
 The Metropolis" is a continuation of MT. Sinclair's propaganda of un- rest, for he is the most untfring so- cialist of his day. We do not believe though that The Metropolis will ex- cite the masses to instruction against the very rich whose extravaganza and bad morals have already been made known to us through the medium of Mir. HearSt's newspapers. MT. Sinclair with all his skill as a writer can hard ly improve upon tho daily imagery and wild abandon of facts of Ar Hcarst's reporters.
 We are willing to conccdc that there is much wicketlness and indecency in the set paradcd in "Thc Metropolis" but as q matter of fact healthy Amer jeans do not care about the disgrace ful shortcomings of the people of The Metropolis" The story may find lodg- nent in the mind of those Of socialis- tic tendencies. but the great body of the people will not allow MT. Sinclair 10 afflict them with nausea again They know him by this time.
 A popular disregard of the immoral doings Of the idle rich is not sign of popular csllousness. We are all in- terested in morality. as is shown by the work of noble men and women in the slunis of the great olties and among the hesthen of far off lands

TRIAL OF ADAMS
FOR TYLER MURDER
Begins at Wallace, Idaho, AMI
is Sensational
Alleged Plot Unearthed, Including
Assassination OF Governor
Steunenberg.
REruDIArEs HIS CONFESSION

Wallace, Idaho. Feb. 13.-The tri-
al of Steve Adams, member of the
Western Federation of Miners. began
today. The direct charge against Ad-
ans is the murder of Fred Tyler, a
settler. who disappeared from his
timber claim on Marble creek August
10. 1904.
Adams is supposed to be implicat-
ed in various murders which, it is
claimed, were committed at the in
stigation of the Western Federation
of Miners, and it is the nope of the
prosecution during the trial to un-
cover proof that the miners organi-
zation caused the killing Of at least
81 men at various times.
Murder of Gov. Steunenberg.
The most prominent victim of the
alleged murderous band was former
Gov. Steunenberg, who was killed by
bomb at the gate of mis- home in
Coldwell, Idaho. the evening of De-
cember 80. 1905.
Adams has been under arrest for a
long time and the authorities claim
he has made confession giving
away the whole story Of the plot, in
which the Western Federation of
Miners is said to be involved. The
latter organization declares the char
ges against it are false and an at
tempt by the mineowners to break
up the union
How Adams Was Caught.
The murder of Tyler remained a
mystery until after the death of
Gov. Steunenberg. Harry Orchards
graphic confession not only implicat-
ed steve Adams and other federation
men in the governors murder, but
declared that Adams and Jack Simp-
kins also killed Tyler because he
had taken up the timber claim. Slmp-
lxins has never been found.
Adams was arrested at Haines
Ore, Feb. 20, 1906. and taken to
Boise, where it is alleged he confess
ed the Tyler murder. This confession
he now denies, and It is believed he
will claim It was wrung from MIN by
force and is false.

Fireman Halted in Act Throw

In second Engine Would Have Been
Blown to Atoms and Train
Wrecked.
LUMP OF COAL FELT STRANGE.

Nothing short of Providence stayed
the hands of Fireman Grace Cantrill
and saved the lives of himself and
Engineer Philip brennan, and prob
ably prevented a bad passenger wreck
near Princeton on the Evansville dis
trict Of the Illinois Central yesterday
afternoon. Cantrili was in the act Of
hurting a keg Of giant powder into
the fire box when the peculiar shift
ing weight of the key stayed his
hands long enough for him to discov-
er what it held. The result of throw
ing a key Of giant powder into a
roaring engine fire box is easy to i'm
agine.
Passenger train No. POS, from Ev-
ansyille to Nashville, in charge OF
Engineer Philip brennan and Fire
man Grace Cantrill, stopped at the
Sullivan coal mines between Hender-
son and Princeton and coaled. Can
trill fired the engine at intervals, dis
lodging coal from the tender as he
consumed the supply. Suddenly
what he thought to be a large lump
rolled down His scoop picked 1t up
and It was too heavy. He grabbed
1t in his hands to hurl It into the
furnace. It's center of gravity seem
ed to shift, and Cantrill hesitated.
He rolled it aside, threw in several
shovels of coal and closing his fire
door turned his attention to the odd
lump Of coal.
II proved to be a battered tin can
filled with giant powder such as is
used In blasting In coal mines. He
carried 1t to Princeton and gave II
to officials. It is now on exhibition
there. Some one desiring TO steal
powder had taken the battered tin
key, filled It with "giant' and de

to take it out at night Unfortul

MRs.NELLIE MARKHAM

A nervous irritable woman. often on
the verge of mysteries, is source of
misery to everyone who comes under
her influence. and unhappy and mis-
cradle herself.
such women not only drive hus-
hands from home but are wholly unfit
to govern children.
The ills of women act like fire
brand upon the nerves. consequently
seven-tenths of the nervous prostra-
ton. nervous dependency. t h e
'.blues". sleeplessness, and nervous
irritabilitv of women arise from some
organic arrangement.
Do YOU experience fits ofdepression
with restlessness alternating with ex-
IRENE irritability ? Do you suffer
from pains in the abdominal region,
backache, bearing down pains,nervous
dyspepsia. sleeplessness, and almost
continually cross and snappy? II SO,
your nerves are in a shattered con
dition aud YOU are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing
in the world is better for nervous
troubles of women than Lydia E-
