Detective LANDS
BOxCAR BURGLAR

Detective Enright, of the Great
Northern, last night arrested Sig
mund Paulson, young man who
has served time in the penitentiary
for boXcar robberies. Cars have
been robbed here and last night the
detective hid in me yards. About
10 o'clock Paulsen appeared and
was in the act of getting into a
car when Enright drew his gun
and commanded him to throw up
his hands. Paulsen obeyed and was
walked out under night, searched
for weapons and then taken to Jail.
Paulsen gave the name of j. c..
Moran, but his picture in the
rogue's gallery gave him away.
Mike Hunt, young man who was
arrested for boxcar robbing three
months ago by Detective Macdon-
aid. confessed at the time that
Paulsen was the leader. Paulsen
escaped to Idaho and was traced as
far as Grangeville. The police have
recovered some caddies of tobacco
and several boxes of cigars.

JOHN Is QUICK
KNOCK OUT

John L. Sullivan is credited with
knocking out many men during his
long career in the ring, and some of
the big fellows he faced went down
In almost punch. But one fight
Sullivan had will stand In the an
nails Of the ring conspicuous among
all others.
In 1884 Sullivan was touring the
country meeting all corners.
On May l Sullivan and his party
were at Memphis, Tenn, and a big
fellow by the name Of VIM. Flem-
ming, who had whipped all the local
toughs, was scheduled to go against
him for a four-round battle.
Sullivan was sore when he en-
tered the ring, because he had been
told that Flemming was after
him."
With bare fists Sullivan made
dash for his opponent when time
was called, and with a single blow,
the only one delivered by either
man, Flemming went to the floor
and took the count. From the time
the bell rang to the beginning of
the coupt two seconds were con-
sumed.

KANSAS CHEATS
HANGMAN

TOPEKA, Kas., Feb. 11-There
is joy in the Kansas penitentiary.
The death sentence has been raised
from the heads of SO prisoners con-
victed of murder.
The legislature, now in session,
has abolished the hang sentence"
in Kansas. Hereafter men may be
sent to the penitentiary for life,
death warrant.
In fact the convicts under SEN
tence to hang, two of whom are
women. were in little danger. Gov.
Hoch has said that he will never
sign a death warrant. But the pos
sibility that some governor would
do it remained, and any chief exc
cutive of the state might have
made one of the biggest official
slaughterings in Kansas history.
The Kansas hang" law was re-
pealed because the Kansas legisla-
ture did not want a law on the
statute books that Is a dead letter.
The old law provided for a penalty
of death. But it was first necessary
for the governor to sign the death
warrant. The governors would not
do this.
Gov. Hoch approves the abolish
ing of capital punishment. What
a beautiful spectacle it would be"
he said, ito see 81 men and two
women, all in row, hanged at the
same time!
do you suppose that if had a
man on the gallows, with my hand
on the lever, ready to spring the
trap, I'd do it? Never!"
The most noted of the hang
prisoners at the Kansas peniten-
tiary are: John Collins, convicted
of the murder of his father; Willie
Sell, to whose hands is laid the
murder of his whole family, and
Emmett Dalton, of the famous Dali
ton gang.

HOW MUCH CAN YOU COUNT?

Many people imagine that they
can count any amount, but 1t Is a
simple matter to prove that our
limi tbs very low. If person should
count continuously day and night
at the rate of 200 per minute he
could count 10000 in an hour, 1885,
900 in a day; 105, 10000 in an
average year. At this rate he
could reach 1858, 100000 in 100
years, which is longer than most
people live. 1t would take about
$500 years to count a trillion at
this rate.

Trains from the east on the

blockade at Cunningham is today

DUANE SHIFTS GULF STREAM
Special Correspondent to The Press.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 11.-Since
the Jamaica earthquake an import
ant change in the gulf stream has
been noted, and its effect upon the
climate of America and Europe is
being discussed The gulf stream,
recognized as the great hot water
heating plant of the Atlantic, seems
again to have favored America, for
it has cuddled up closer to the
western continent.
The discovery is made by Cap
tain John c. Solely, New Orleans,
of the gulf division of the hydro
graphic survey. Before the earth
quake the gulf stream ran close to
the western end of Cuba, curving
toward the United States coast
from the south and bending to the
east around the Florida peninsula.
II seems that now the stream hugs
the Central American coast and
comes out into the Atlantic defect
ed more to the west than formerly.
The popular notion that the eli
mate of England and western Eu-
rope depends upon the gulf stream
is not supported by the best au-
thorities now. While the climate
is exceptionally balmly for such a
northern latitude and may be due
generally to the warmer ocean cur
rents from the south, the gulf
stream as such is scarcely dis
tinguishable in temperature above
latitude 40 from the adjacent ocean,
and besides is broken up into sew
eral branches. Philadelphia is in
